Results for my Robert poll are in, and 38,3% (me included) think that Traumatized Robert is the way to go if they bring him back.
And believe me, I know the show is miserable at the moment and there is more of that to come!
However, I think we deserve to see a side to Robert we haven't really seen before, and I think Ryan deserves to play something different as well. (I tried to find an old post I did last year, about all the missed opportunities for a character driven story for Robert, but the search feature wouldn't cooperate. There were so many missed opportunities though!)
I also think it would be interesting to see how people around Robert would react, like Aaron, Victoria and Chas.
As much as I might enjoy some revenge extracted on the Posners and other various villagers, I think I got my fill of Revenge Seeking Robert in 2017. They never let him win anyway.
Plus, traumatized can mean a lot of different things at the same time, so there is nothing to say that anger or criminal activity and drug use couldn't also factor in to it. It certainly did for Aaron over the years.
And of course I want him to be reunited with Seb as well, in due time. I always have this deep rooted hope that in Seb, Robert will have someone who will love him unconditionally for the rest of his life and always see the good in him.
If Robert hadn’t left when he did, then he and Aaron would have had their surrogate baby in 2019/20. Their baby would be only 2/3 years younger than Seb. So if Robert hadn’t left, then they would have been raising two kids that are close in age who would be growing up together!!!!!
I feel like I've seen most of what interests me in FiMFiction for the time being, so I read through some good ol' reliable Stardew Valley fanfics last night, only to realize.
Haley x Female Farmer is basically Rarijack. Rarijack adjacent.
