Conquest and his dog
I am a firm believer that Conquest needs a dog. Specifically one rescued from a fighting ring. I don’t think it would fix him, but I do think it would give him something to live for outside of conquering planets. An animal, who can’t judge him, who loves him unconditionally. Instead of coming back to an empty ‘home’ if you can call it that, he’d come back to a pupper who’s excited to see him.
I see him with a bully breed. A large meat headed dog, chopped ears, covered in scars but has a really sweet temperment. (Possibly used as bait dog?)
I feel like owning a dog would also encourage him to make his place more comfortable. Not for himself of course but for his dog. He’d start with pretty much nothing. He’d get the dog a blanket and that’s it, but the more he thinks about it, the more he doesn’t want his dog to live like him. So he starts by getting a nice plush dog bed, then a pillow… And after that he’d spiral. He’d bring home toys. So many freaking toys! Then he moves onto treats. He’d teach his dog a few simple tricks like sit, stay, maybe shake but really he’d just look at his pup and think “Yeah, it’s treat time.” No rhyme nor reason to it, beyond his belief that his dog deserves it.
I think it would be funny if he got this really nice fluffy dog bed so his dog wouldn’t have to sleep on the floor and instead of using it his pupper would just rather curl up to him to sleep. So Conquest caves and get a mattress cause he can’t have his dog sleeping on the cold floor. Now at night he lays on his mattress, dog curled up in the crook of his arm, head on his chest and he’s never felt more content.
Now as for the dogs name he’d just call it ‘dog’ or ‘mutt’ for the first few days. Not because he can’t think of a name but because he wants the right one. Conquest wasn’t given a name, he was given a job. I think names are important to him. (Enough that he’d lament to Mark about it) They are a symbol of not just being something but being someone. He’d really want to spend some time mulling it over before giving his pup just any old name. Moving on…
Play-fighting! Play-fighting! Play-fighting! This man will play tug-of-war and growl right back. He’ll roll around with his dog, let him naw at his fingers. Has a touch of cuteness aggression where he’ll just take his dogs head and give him quick shake. (never hard enough to hurt his pup. It’s all just play)
That dog is his baby. I can totally see him picking up his dog and just carrying them around.
I think he’d have a few different accessories for them. If it’s a boy he’d get him a bunch of different collars and a gold chain. If it’s a girl I think he’d go all out on the pink accessories. Pink collar, pink bow, if he’s feeling crazy (and when is he not) pink toe nails. Either way he’s getting his dog pajamas!
I just know that his pupper would look at him like he’s their whole world 😭 I just know it! Conquest loves his baby. More than anything. He’s thankful that his dog loves him in such a pure, joyful way. His dog never says anything mean, never expects anything from him, never makes him feel like he’s a tool to be used. His pup is simply happy he’s there and for Conquest that’s all he needs.
Conquest needs a dog and I will die on that hill.
(Are you guys team boy dog or team girl dog for Conquest?)
