Would you need to take a 121 written?
Would you get another rating?

EX: I have 1200 hrs ect.
I go to my fav cargo company(you might know the one) I log another 300 hours, can I know retake the 121 written and then another practical exam?
Am I not an ATP as a line captain for a 135?
Not sure what you mean by the "121 ATP ride." An ATP is an ATP unless you're taking an ATP and type rating ride at the same time. There's a 121-oriented knowledge (written test) and a 135-oriented one. Doesn't make much difference which one you take, but the 135 version is a little more realistic for folks without experience in the 121 environment.

Whether or not you need an ATP for 135 flying depends on the type of flying and type of equipment.

If you do everything on ground that's required, apply for it, and fly with a properly authorized ATP Examiner or FAA inspector, current rules say a multiengine 135.293-297 ride statisfies ATP flight test requirements.
