This Is So Dark For The Robinsons But I Love This And I Want More Ideas

This is so dark for the Robinsons but I love this and I want more ideas

More Dark!AU MTR Headcanons

THAT’S RIGHT! THE HEADCANONS THAT ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ASKED FOR exceptfor@therobinsonwayoflifeifyouwannagettechnical

Some are cheesy, some are low hanging fruit, and some… well… just plain weird. Blood, violence, alcohol, sex, anything is fair game in the headcanons below. Read at your own risk.

And away… we… GO!

Doris=GLaDOS backstory. (PORTAL 2 SPOILERS AHEAD) Doris was a human working at InventCo and Cornelius shoved her inside of a robotic hat. The process was literally painful, obviously twisted on Cornelius’ part, and gives stronger revenge reasoning for Doris. Perhaps she’s even gone a bit mad through the process (I’m imagining her normal self sometimes breaking through like Caroline does with GLaDOS)

Continuing with that but adding another layer, Doris could have been forced to be a sex robot instead of a hat (or… uh… both..? never mind…) This could technically be more of a sex related AU but I bring this up for  abuse reasoning and also gives Cornelius another Evil!AU idea. Yet again another good reason for wanting revenge on Doris’ part. One could even go further with this by assuming Doris can use sexuality to control others (which, I mean, technically does happen in a lot of irl cases so it’s believable if she’s been wired to know exactly what to do and good lord the title “Helping Hat” certainly gets put into a different light…) and if that’s the case then that would mean Goob would have yet another sad layer of being used/controlled in ways that are even more disturbing and pitiful that just the original non-Dark!AU path.

We’ve all heard of the headcanon that Uncle Joe wasn’t always the way he is now. Some kind of accident turning him into a less responsive and baby-like version of what he use to be. But what if… what if it wasn’t an accident at all… What if… Aunt Billie was being abused… and either she snapped… or someone came to her aid… Either Cornelius turned Joe into someone Billie could be happier with or someone failed at a murder attempt, leaving him paralyzed and mentally broken.

I don’t even know if I have to type all the possibilities with Fritz and Petunia. This one feel self-explanatory. Fritz murders his original wife and denies the truth. Fritz abused his original wife but then when she died he couldn’t handle the guilt. Etc, etc.

Gaston has gone through so much plastic surgery to repair the wounds from his various stunts that he’s now addicted to it. Now he’s obsessed with not only the pain from the stunts but also going under the knife afterwards. The harder the fall, the bigger the enjoyment.

Grandpa Bud is a secret alcoholic which is why he’s constantly forgetting what rooms exist in the house or where he put his teeth.

Carl becomes jealous of anyone who tries to get close to his precious Little Buddy. As such, if he decides someone is getting too chummy and could potentially replace him as Main Man (robot?) Best Friend, Future City’s next killer is discovered. (Could lead to Carl become so crazily obsessed with Wilbur that he gets jealous of the family as well and as such poisons everyone but Wilbur at dinner)

Lewis is too late in telling Doris that he’ll never invent her. Que scene of her literally shredding him, blood flying everywhere around the meeting room.

Cornelius accidentally invents something that causes a crazy disease to spread. First Future City falls. Then surrounding cities. Then the world. Cornelius tries in vain to fix what he’s done but ultimately watch as the world crumbles around him.

Mildred, in debt out of her ears, sometimes allows… patrons… to pay cash under the table for a one-night-only rendezvous with an orphan of their choice.

Uncle Art stole Lefty away from his family/planet and made him a slave on Earth which Lefty is forced to do or else starve (since he can only eat food from his home planet and Uncle Art is the only one with access to where the planet is and how to drive the ship there). Work as a slave or die.

AU where Tiny eats everyone in That One Scene.

The only reason Laszlo flies everywhere is because Tallulah got so heated in an argument with him once-upon-a-time that at one point she slammed down a heavy item/object onto his feet, causing them to be irreversibly broken.

The only reason Franny is obsessed with the singing frogs is because Cornelius never gives her the time of day and treats her like a slave. She’s locked in the music room where only others can open the door (if they even want to) and is really only used as a play thing for Cornelius. The frogs are her only solace.

Mr. Harrington actually dies, leaving Lewis to give up on inventing right then and there, meaning his Good Future never happens.

Wilbur experiments with gruesome pranks, including finding Bud’s teeth before anyone else can and placing tacks into every gum slot which leads to one terrifying trip to the hospital/dentist.

AU where Stanley and Lizzie become evil and turn into lords of their own respective domains complete with lava monsters for Stanley and giant attack ants for Lizz–… wait…
