Stalker with a Test Tube: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

A frequent variant is that [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]] want to get [[Alice and Bob]] together for the purpose of conceiving [[The Chosen One]] and/or a [[Tyke Bomb]]. This scenario almost always involves a [[Gambit Roulette]] or a [[Gambit Pileup]] if there are other OCOVs looking to prevent said conception.

 

{{examples}}

* In the anime ''[[Wicked City]]'', [[Badass Normal|human special agent Taki]] and [[Our Demons Are Different|Black World operative Makie]] were intentionally paired off by the Black Guard in hopes of conceiving a child that was half-human, half-Black Worlder to be part of the peace treaty between the two worlds. They were assigned to protect a dirty old man, who turned out to be a powerful psychic assigned to protect ''them'' and steer them in the direction of mutual respect and physical attraction, while fighting off Black World extremists bent on disrupting the coupling. The fact that said conception [[Pregnant Badass|boosted Makie's demonic abilities]] was just gravy.

* This is the basis of the plot of ''[[Maburaho]]''; Yuna, Rin and Kuriko were all ordered to get their hands on Kazuki's powerful genes for the good of their upper-class family bloodlines. On the other hand, Yuuna at least had already been in love with him since childhood. And as the series goes on, Rin and Kuriko start to love Kazuki unconditional as well.

* {{spoiler|Ringo Oginome}}'s real goal and the corollary of {{spoiler|1=her "Project M" (in which "M" = "maternity")}} in ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]''. {{spoiler|Ringo's dead sister Momoka had planned her whole life with the goal of being happy with her boyfriend Tabuki, culminating with her writing in her diary that she and Tabuki would have kids. Desperate to get her and Momoka's parents back together, Ringo took up Momoka's goals to [[My Sibling Will Live Through Me|"become Momoka"]] and mend her broken family life, therefore she wanted to be impregnated by Tabuki. [[Plucky Girl|And she didn't]] [[Attempted Rape|stop at ANYTHING]] to try getting her "happy ending"... at least until her friend Shouma [[What the Hell, Hero?|LOUDLY called her out on it]] and then [[Taking the Bullet|got hit by a car to protect her]].}}

 

* In the [[Superman]] comics (and at least one episode of ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]''), alien queen Maxima wanted Supes, both as a perfect mate and a genetic goldmine. His consent was purely optional, as far as she was concerned.

** Also, this [[Foe Yay|can be seen]] as the motivation behind the creation of Connor Kent/Kon-El Superboy, who is a clone made from the genes of Superman and [[Lex Luthor]]. Luthor obviously denies this interpretation vehemently.

* After Thor gave up his soul to save Valkyrie in ''Ultimatum'', Hela the Norse goddess of the underworld wanted him to give her a son. In return, she promised him a favor. The day after the deed, Thor demanded a means to return to the living world, she said that it would require someone else to die in his place. When Thor threatened to kill her to fulfill the requirement, Hela then revealed that she was already heavily pregnant with his son thanks to the fluid nature of time in the underworld. She remarks that their child is already a strong warrior given the way he kicks.

* In ''Red Robin'' #12, it was revealed in [[The Stinger]] that everything Ra's Al Ghul did in the series up till that point was to test Tim Drake. Ra's now knows that Tim will sire a worthy heir—and a mysterious female companion assures him that she'll "get right on that"...

 

== [[Fan Works]] ==

* ''[[Eye of the Fox]]'' has a [[Gender Flip]]ped version in a scene which Kyubbi all but states that the ''only'' reason he'd want a son and heir was because of the [[Superpowerful Genetics]] the mother possesseed as he laments the boy's suicide attempt as 'reflecting badly on ''him''.'

 

* The Japanese movie ''Hush!'' features a variant. The woman with the test tube (or rather a pipette), and later {{spoiler|two turkey basters is a bit persistent, but the actual [[Stalker with a Crush]] is completely oblivious of her stalkee's homosexuality}}.

 

* In the ''[[Temeraire]]'' series, Iskierka (the draconic equivalent to a [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]) became obsessed with mating with Temeraire, convinced that any offspring of theirs would inherit both her [[Incendiary Exponent|fire-breathing]] and his ''[[Make Me Wanna Shout|Divine Wind]]'' abilities. Never mind that everyone - including her own captain - tells her that Breeding Does Not Work That Way. And even if it did, Chinese Celestials (like Temeraire) don't breed true.

* This is basically the Modus Operandi of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood of ''[[Dune]]'' - breeding together people with the right genes in order to produce the Kwisatz Haderach... whether that means matchmaking, blackmail, or outright rape is of little concern to them as long as the right children result. The ultimate goal was supposed to be the daughter of Duke Leto Atreides and Jessica, paired with Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen... but Jessica went against orders and bore a son, Paul, who threw a wrench in their plans in more ways than one. Ironically, in the end they did wind up getting their God-Emperor, Paul's son Leto II, who also engaged in his own, 3500 year long breeding program.

* The [[Mutant Draft Board|Esper's Guild]] from ''[[The Demolished Man]]'' mandates that its members have to marry other [[Psychic Powers|espers]].

 

* One ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'' episode shared 2-parter with another spin-off has the cast investigate a possible rape; it turns out the ''woman'' rendered the man (who they thought did it and had already made his life Hell) unconscious and then stole his sperm for her father's crazy genetics program. At the end of the episode's first part, she had given birth to the guy's kid.

* An ''[[NCIS]]'' episode has a Navy woman invest in an expensive computer program to see what the babies would look like for each man she dated. The fun part is that the team can't help but use the program themselves to find out what Gibbs and Shepard's kid might look like.

* An unusual variation occurred during an episode of ''[[CSI]]'', in which Lady Heather tracks down and sleeps with {{spoiler|the man she suspects of murdering her daughter}} simply so she can retrieve the condom and turn it over to Grissom as evidence.

 

* According to the [[wikipedia:Malleus Maleficarum|Malleus Maleficarum]], this was how demons reproduced in the human realm, not being capable of conceiving children themselves. A [[Horny Devils|succubus]] would seduce a man and collect his sperm. She would then pass it on to an incubus, her male equivalent, who would then mate with a human female. The resulting child would be a cambion, a half-demon. This admittedly ignores the fact that it is still human sperm being used in the insemination (Jacob Sprenger was writing without modern knowledge of genetics and the biology of sexual reproduction).

 

 

* In [[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R. 2]], it is implied that the reason Alma has been [[Attempted Rape|constantly]] [[The Glomp|launching]] [[Single-Target Sexuality|sexual]] [[Mind Screw|assaults]] on protagonist Michael Becket while killing/ignoring the other squad members is because he has the strongest psychic powers, and by extension the best genes. {{spoiler|As the endgame shows, she succeeds}}.

* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', the Patriots conspire to do this to Big Boss, to the point where he reacted almost as if he had been raped and abandoned them. Notably, while Zero was in it as part of a plot to create Big Boss-like heroes through which he could control the populace, and Para-Medic was presumably motivated by [[Evilutionary Biologist|science]], EVA was the most eager to steal Big Boss's genetic material and her motivation was to [[Stalker with a Crush|forcibly have the beautiful children of the man she had a one night stand with years ago]]. It's played as sympathetic.

* ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Fire Emblem Seisen No Keifu]]'' sees [[Big Bad|Manfloy]] hunt down the descendants of Lopto in order to breed them together, thereby providing a host for the evil god. {{spoiler|He succeeds.}} This incestuous evil plan works because genetics ''[[A Wizard Did It|do]]'' [[A Wizard Did It|work that way in the game]]. The whole thing is played very much for the [[Squick]], and to show just how much of an [[Complete Monster|irredeemable bastard Manfloy is]] because a) one of the required children is {{spoiler|''[[I Have Your Wife|your wife]]'' (or better said, the main character Sigurd's wife and one of the local [[White Mage]]s, Diadora))}}, b) the other child is {{spoiler|a former [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] [[Jerkass Woobie|whose life sucked ever since he was a little boy]]}} and c) the future host aka their kid [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid|Used To Be A Sweet]] [[Ill Boy]].

 

 

* In ''[[Frisky Dingo]]'' Grace Ryan uses some of Xander Crews's sperm she froze to impregnate herself. An unrelated ant-mutation causes it to go horribly, horribly wrong.

* In ''[[Moral Orel]]'', Stephanie thwarts Reverend Putty's flirtations by revealing that he's her father by way of this trope. They salvage the emerging relationship and bond as father and daughter.

** Also Toki's Internet girlfriend.

* On ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'', Cleveland runs into a woman who had a crush on him in high school and starts hanging out with her because of the boost to his ego. Eventually she drugs him, ties him to her bed naked, puts on a pair of latex gloves... let's just say the finale involves a fertility doctor, a turkey baster, and, for some reason, [[Noodle Implements|hot air balloons.]]

 

* Some myths say [[Alexander the Great]] was courted by the Queen of the Amazons for just such a purpose - considering him the [[All Amazons Want Hercules|only man worthy]] of fathering her child.

* There is a famous and almost certainly apocryphal story that a society beauty suggested [[George Bernard Shaw]] marry her, saying "Our children would have my looks and your brains." Shaw replied, "But what if they had my looks and your brains?" There's also a variant of that story that swaps Shaw for [[Albert Einstein]]. The Shaw story is often attributed to actress Sarah Bernhardt (who was ''far'' closer in age to Shaw than to Einstein and whose reasons for meeting a playwright likes Shaw should be obvious). Furthermore, Shaw is reported as saying something to the effect of "Oh no, I've just blown a definite shag!" upon realizing what he had done (Shaw was, of course, notorious for his inability to resist a witticism).
