back in the day when reject posting was in its stride (like, circa The End), people were just fusing together any characters that they thought were neat, just the thing to do at the time, mr ska made a tweet about the tomato, it was vogue, I could talk about it forever. Some clones got more popular than others, but among them was one that was entirely the fandom's and that was a fusion of "Paul" "Tord" and "Patryck" called: "Paultoryk."
The fusion felt very much like a more put together tomatoredd when he was drawn, to contrast the dysfunction that the other clone was prone to, plany of ship art between the two at the time. backstory was a dealers choice since to my memory, the og artist didnt really give too much of an explanation (and if they did, its long lost to time now), but there was common thread of red army experiment gone awry. like a proto clord theory!
I think "Paultoryk" was very much the product of its time, I don't see anything like it coming about with the current fandom environment, but I've been surprised before.
i dont ever think i'll do anything with "Paultoryk," I wouldnt know how to angle it with my headcanons in a way that I wasn't already doing with someone else, but I do like them quite a bit.
