The Painkiller Corner @ipainkiller1999 - Tumblr Blog

I was explaining Dispatch to my family, and called Sonar "Bat man." My older sister started calling "fat man."

Me: "I don't think Sonar would like that. Also, he can turn into this *shows her the Mega-Bat*"

My sister: makes the expression Mega-Bat Sonar made.

Anyways: how do you think Sonar would react to being called fat?

Honest answer:

Sonar: my co-

*gets sprayed with a water gun by Robert*

bat of bicuriosity

How about a baby beef x Tacca cross over. Robbie rolling in grave over his sister and his son falling for bat hybrids. Chase asking are you sure the dude you just met isn't Tacca dad

Oh that would be so cute! I love combining my random aus, lol.

@holycometinsignia it's little Tacca again!

Combining these two aus could go sooo many different ways (like, I could alter when Robert adopts Tacca so he has her before Beef?), but for this I'm just going to keep both aus kinda the same.

A major difference would be that after Robert has Ben and gets with Victor, he'd definitely get closer to his Aunt. She's the only family he has left that has experience with kids, so she helps him with Ben. Because of that, Tacca is a lot closer to her cool cousin Robert, and Ben grows up with her. They're practically siblings already, even before Tacca's parents die.

Since Tacca and Beef have similar personalities, Robert has absolute angel children, who also happen to be insanely clingy.

This would be so cute. Robert calling his aunt in tears about finding out he's pregnant and what the doctor suggested about getting rid of the baby because it's a hybrid. Maybe he found out about beef being a hybrid early before contacting Chase. Ow Tacca dad would be pissed off possible going down to the doctor office himself to get Robert scans while auntie invites him over for dinner and reinsurance that it will be ok. Tacca cuddling up to Robert putting her head on hus stomach going hi wittle cousin I'm going to be your big cousin. Robert aunt laughing her ass at Robert falling for a another bat hybrid. While her husband snakes his head saying he hears Robbie wails from beyond the grave.

Robert's aunt would be like a maternal figure for him, with how much she helps him. Robert's just surrounded by love, from his brother, his boyfriend, his aunt and her husband, and his sweet little cousin, and then Beef when he's born.

He has the weirdest but most amazing family ever. 🥹

Question now how would Victor react to I'm calling Robert aunt Robertina because Bobbie couldn't help himself. To her husband after Robert meets Victor and decides to go out with him.

Spiderman pointing meme 😂

They're just like "we're both bats, woah!" And immediately become bros

shower thoughts, but it’s the concept of an au where Harper is forced to take up the role of mechaman

Messy ahh sketches

helmet in the style of a motorcycle helmet to hide her bat features, the armor absolutely makes her look bigger and stronger than she is headcanons below cut✨✨✨:

I was just thinking about this, but imagine how Robert would feel when he wakes up and realizes that she ended up being raised exactly like him, when he'd been trying to keep that from happening

Like, he tried giving her a better childhood than his own, and Robbie completely ruined that. He wakes up, and Harper is so much like him in ways he'd been terrified of

@vale-river it’s like he didn’t just loose 10 years of her, he lost the chance to save her from what had slowly killed him for 16 years. In fact, she was the one who saved him, offering him a purpose beyond a life to be lost inside a suit, and he couldn’t do the same for her ;-;

My heart, omg 😭

Robert doesn't usually lie on his stomach, as I believe he might have PTSD – judging by the way he was thrown to the ground and had his wing ripped off – but one night after going out with the Z-team, he lies down like that near them

Aww, that would be so sweet.

The team all decide to go to Flambae's place once it gets late- against his will, but he has no reason to complain. They'd all had too much to drink, but weren't quite ready to go to their own homes yet, so they all gathered in his living room, eating junk food and shitty takeout, and talking shit as per usual.

Robert was joining in on the conversations at first, but he was tired, and it showed. He slowly began to stop talking, and his eyes started drooping, and soon he was fighting to stay awake.

Then a hot hand settled on his wing-less back, and suddenly the fight was over. Robert hummed sleepily, slumped forward to lay down on his front, and was asleep in seconds.

Everyone stopped, watching the sleeping man cautiously as if he'd pop back up and scare them, but he was dead asleep. Flambae gently rubbed his back, watching the way his face slowly relaxed.

The plan originally had been to hang out at Flambae's for a while, then they'd all leave, but now with Robert sleeping, the plans immediately changed.

Prism got up to raid Flambae's closets for spare blankets and pillows, Golem cleared up all the trash, Malevola and Punch Up moved furniture around at Flambae's quiet directing, and everyone began to construct a makeshift blanket bed on the floor, carefully shuffling their conked out dispatcher around to arrange some blankets under him. He stayed asleep throughout it all somehow, despite apparently being a light sleeper.

Once it was done, they gathered around Robert again, but this time they all laid down and got settled into their impromptu sleepover.

Robert woke up the next day confused, but also loved and blanketed by seven pairs of wings, and protected by a slumbering construct.

Warning this dose go a little darker then part one with Victor's pov.

It was nothing but darkness. That's all Robert could see. He remembers his dad broke out of prison and he just threw himself into to Mecha man blue. Nothing else mattered the only thing that got him out of the suit most days had been his dog beef. Robert never mattered the world didn't need him. But then he hears that voice the voice of his old friend saying let's go play Robert.

First time meeting Victor was definitely interesting. My uncle Elliot ( or dad still hard to rap my head around) had ran up to me holding a moving box quickly scooped me up and spun me around giggling saying smile Robert this is a new adventure. I giggled out I love you uncle Elliot he genuinely sat me down looking at me almost hurt? Love you too buddy. Before quickly heading in. All of sudden I feel dad walk passed me giving me a hard push to the side causing me to stumble forward. I spot something gray in the bushes before I could look Elliot called me inside. Dad wasn't happy about the move but we didn't have choice. After the Mecha suit shot me Chase barely grabbing me in time. A pretty woman showed up shortly afterwards. Screaming at dad and Elliot. Robert didn't hear everything but irresponsible fools, Robert could have died, I'll be back, Elliot you are the biggest disappointment before Chase grabbed me and said let's go get ice-cream. Then we quickly moved in the middle of the night. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to the nice neighbor lady with all the cat's. She had just got custody of her grandbaby with water powers. I was excited to meet him.

I snuck out of the house wanting to avoid dad's lesson today. I'm tried from unpacking yesterday and dad claiming will be going on a field trip today. Field trips are never fun it's usually drop me off in the woods then finding my way home. Looking out I see the kid from yesterday . Looking at him now he's a hybrid with big ears. Dad usually doesn't let me go near them. But he looks sad swinging by himself. Before I knew it I ran up to the kid and gave him a push. He freaked out for a moment before wiping his head around. Saying hey you need to ask permission before touching me. I snarked back I don't know your name so I couldn't ask. The dude laughed before patting the second swing. He started talking about this rich dude named Vanderstink and his parents see him as the next one.( hopefully not this guy sounds like massive jerk.) I end up talking about the rock specimen that him and uncle Elliot ended up finding while doing a fun hike. It's kinda hard to read his experience but I think he likes talking with me. Swinging back and forth is fun. The higher I go the more free I feel. That quickly comes to a end when I heard Robert jib-e ol sigan( time to come home). I shout back oneun (coming). Victor gives me a confused look. Sorry I have to go home for what ever reason saying that made my heart hurt. Victor gently turned his head and gave me a sad look. I'll come bye tomorrow to play again. Before giving him a hug before running off. Elliot quickly pulls me into the kitchen. Closing the door behind me. Robert where have you've been Robbie been looking for you all afternoon. Playing outside with a neighbor kid I say not being able to look him in the eyes. Elliot takes a deep breath ok run up to your room and shut your door don't open it until either Chase or me knock for you. No dinner as punishment for skipping out on training. I wine because I was looking forward to watch Elliot cook tonight. He's been teaching me different family recipes. Elliot pauses gives me a sad look and say I'm sorry you have to listen to me and your dad buddy before rubbing my head oddly enough stopping at my ears mumbling something that sounded like Korean but I couldn't make it out. I turn on my heels before stomping up the stairs. I heard dad test my door before pounding on it. Hear him screaming Robert open this door right now. Before a second set of footsteps came walking up screaming you leave him alone he's a sleep he wasn't feeling good. Before dad stomps off saying the next Mecha man doesn't take breaks even when sick. I feel asleep pretty quickly after that despite feeling like my stomach was eating it's self.

I was woken by Chase pounding on my door saying wake up sleepy head. I roll over not even thinking about it I scratch my arm. Feel a sharp sting I look down and see my nails grew out again. I had to quickly clip them. Elliot said dad or Chase can't find out about them buddy when he spotted them. So ever couple of days I need to trim them but they seem to be growing faster than normal. I was excited to introduce Victor to Chase I hope they get along. I don't know what possessed me but when I saw Chase ruffle Victor's head and call him freak show something clicked in my head and I bit him hard. Chase tried playing off as joke before scooping me up. Then carrying me home saying I was grounded. I apologize when we got home but he cut me off saying I earned it sorry for calling your friend names. But dude where did the fangs come from. Pushing me in front of the mirror I see my top and bottom fangs seemed to have grown sharper. What's going on with me and why dose Victor seem to make my heart race. I'm not supposed to feel anything towards anyone....

As the years flew by me and Victor's friendship grew. We ended enjoying hiking together, watching different movies and shows while trying to guess big twist coming. Being around Vic gave me hope. Hope that Robert mattered that I could be so much more then Mecha man. Unfortunately tho my dad would often squash that hope by focusing me to train harder and harder. The older I got the less he tried spending time with me that didn't involve kicking my butt. I still have uncle Elliot but he's been growing colder towards day. Dad and him have been fighting alot more. I just toone out the fighting....

Shortly after Victor turned 16 he seemed to completely vanish from everywhere. I missed him I knew he was busy with school but something deep in my heart is still hurting. It finally arrived after saving up my allowance. I was able to buy Victor a late birthday gift/ congratulations on graduating early gift. It was a simple stapler with a secret compartment engraved with Victor's name. I hope he likes it Waking up extra to sneak up to Victor was a pain. But worth it because his parents wouldn't let him see me. Saying I stress him out which I call bull. Climbing up the tree was the easiest part. Hard part waking Vic up he sleeps lije the dead. Tapping on the windo finally he let out a screech before jumping back saying Jesus Robert trying out for a vampire movie. How did you climb up here it's the third floor. Rude I know I'm pasty white and my fangs are sharper but I'm not vampire level yet. Victor hesitantly opens the window before I grab him pulling him outside. I want to watch the sunrise with him one more time... before my dad sends me away. I set my head in the nook of his neck my heartbeat pounding in my ears he's perfect. Way to perfect for me. Victor is mumbling about not wanting to leave me and being scared about heading off to college. I grab his hand whisper it's going to be ok. Setting the gift box in hand he opens it eye's sparking a custom stapler really Rob. Yup doesn't matter how far you go will still be friends. I can feel the tears coming off Victor as he pulls me into a hug. I gently pat his back. He's going to do great he'll find better then me I'm just happy being able to watch one finally sunrise with him. I can't stop my heart from hurting thinking about being apart from him.

Shortly after leaving Victor and sneaking into the house. Dad rushes forward demanding to know where my stapler was which confused me because I don't own one. He grumbles something before slinking off that was weird. Chase was picking me up to spend one more day with me. Because dad's sending me to a special hero school to turn me into a real hero. Because I'm nothing but a disappointment I'll miss Chase and Elliot. They are probably the only reason why I didn't go screaming off into the night. Elliot was acting odd he kissed my forehead be saying have fun with Chase . It was fun going to the arcade, then a great pizza joint then a movie. It was fun until arriving at home the first thing we smelled was blood. Chase noticed even blinking called 911 and refused to let me near the house. They found my father ripped yo shreds. Elliot was soon arrested because his DNA was all over my dad. Turns out according to the woman who claimed to be my grandma her and Elliot are known as Gumiho and apparently I'm half one too. Elliot was actually my mom but Robbie stole there Marble and held them captive for years focusing her to be my uncle. Elliot finally snapped after Robbie lost the marble. She needs my help to find the marble in hopes of saving her.

That's how my super hero life began. They say when you die you're life flashes before your eyes. Was this it reason why I reliving my past. My one regret was pushing Chase and Victor away if I got a second chance I will make it better. Waking up in nothing but pain wasn't fun. Apparently Elliot went after me believing I was Robbie and I was using his marble to power the suit. So attacked. Grandma Su Jin said I was out for 3 months recovering and my new fox form took most of damage. Before I could ask another question a person ran in and hugged me calling me a fucking idiot. It was Chase just very much older.. I found out his powers aged him three times faster then normal. It was great seeing him again. I asked about Victor and he gets quite. I found out he fell into drugs shortly after leaving for college then ended up running few money scams. But apparently he's turned his life around and joined the Phoenix program he worked for. Tgen causally saids you'll get to see him soon I'm signing you up for a dispatcher job. No more Mecha man for you.

I didn't expect for my first day at work to be do interesting. First my boss tried ordering me to strip in front of her, caught her roommate trying to spy on me. The coffee maker in the breakroom apparently only listens to me and a dude named Mister Whiskey and z team laughing there asss off at my name. Victor was oddly quiet no jokes or nothing infact all I got was heavy breathing from his mic. Makes sense he probably doesn't remember me it's been 16 years. Plus I'm not sure how to bring up hey sorry I ghosted you I was planning on completely vanishing as Robert nobody was supposed to see Robert again. The shift went by quickly before I knew it lunch rolled around before I could grab my twinkie I felt a pair of warm arms rap around me. Pulling me into a tight hug whispering it's really you. Tears landing on my shirt he wouldn't let me turn around. All I could do was pat his head while he whispered you have alot of explaining ass. Yes I do Victor yes I do.....

Probably the most people I've tagged on any post 😆. Hope you guys enjoy I'm off to bed.

Hello cass!

Your genuinely one of my best fyp pulls, and I adore seeing harper and her dads pop up every once in a while, (or mums- Yuri mums of harper 👀 -just a thought) and your a really big part of what got me into dispatch, I've been running a side blog on @flambertmybeloved and I've realised that what I comment under most of Ur stuff with so hi :D it's me and I love Ur art!

Yuri mums of harper..

Just speaking to the void here don't mind Me.

The people have spoken

And as far as gender swaps go for me there is the expected “almost nothing changes”, for baby Harvard the main difference is that they dress him up in suits a little more often than dresses. He still LOVES bugs, ladybugs still are predominantly the favorite, and his very favorite color is red.

I was gonna draw more but I am hungryyy and it’s affecting my art ;-;

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

Love when people I follow find a new interest because I get look and go ow interesting time to go investigate at 3am when I can't sleep and I'm fighting off the spirt of a writer trying to take over

It was supposed to be a normal night Robert meeting up with a couple of heros for a drink. A congratulations for stopping the big bad guy. Instead he wakes up in a motel room very sore covered in scratch marks my super hero costume gone my mask gone and a ring on my finger. Memories still hazy I remember a handsome (maybe) dude walking up offering me a drink then one drink turned into 4 then me and him dancing getting frisky then a dude tried cutting in before either him or me punched him then we talked about something. His friend opening a portal then blank. He can't find the other dude anywhere. There's a ring on his finger and chips for the local casino. ( Mal dragged Victor through the portal shortly after waking. Thinking they robbed the twink. Victor was not happy because Mega bat has been crying about missing mate for the past hour.) Robert left Vegas not knowing his new last name with extra cash in his pocket

Victor and Mal decided to go bar hopping and stumble upon what they believe are civilians larping as heroes. Because usually Mecha man blue doesn't work with other heros. After Mal dared Victor he walked up to "Mecha man" and offer to buy him a drink. Which actually worked but then he offered to buy me another drink and back and forth ended with 5 drinks . Surprisingly he was a good dancer twirling me around the dance floor until this dude tried dragging him away saying a pretty dude like you could do better then that freak show. Before "Mecha man" punched him in the nose then I gave him a kick for good measure. Then images of a motel room and Mal taking us somewhere then waking up to Mal dragging through a portal I wonder what happened to "Mecha man". Realizing in dawning horror that I'm wearing a ring with a picture of me snd the dude getting married while Mal stood as are witness in a elvis costume. This tax season will definitely be interesting.

when i was sick i had a dream about gumiho robert

@quitealotofsodapop and @ipainkiller1999 @glowinggemma28-fangirl

ipainkiller1999

THANK YOU FOR THE TAG THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL WEAK!!! GUMIHO ROBERT!!!

Given your Scandinavian Bobbie hc, what would you think of an Elsa! Robert?

Like, he wakes up one day pre or post the mecha explosion and apparently he has ice powers now. Cool. Chilly, even.

Might make some snow golems for Golem

Idk whether he and Flambae would develop a rivalry, brotherhood or relationship, but if it's not romantic either Prism or Invisigal send him this daily:

Had a hilarious chat with the siblings over this.

Robert having latent Ice powers, but they're so weak that he either never noticed or cared about them. Turns out Grandpa Bobby's lineage has a semi-divine blessing from a winter spirit, and he never really mentioned it cus he moved to the more temperate US as a kid.

The exact blessing and who granted it is vague. In Scandinavian culture, there is a number of Winter deities/entities depending on the exact location - Frau Holle/Holda/Mother Frost (Germanic), Ded Moroz/Morozko/Old Man Winter (Upper Slavic/Russian Santa/Winter Death), Morana (Slavic goddess of Death/Winter), Perchta (Alpine Death/Winter goddess/xmas figure) Skaði/Skadi (Nordic Goddess of snow/skiing/+wolves for yalls wolf hybrid!Robert enjoyers, wife of Loki) etc...

All that Robert knows; is that his Blessing "activated" when he nearly dies over the LA skyline.

The explosion that should have engulfed or scattered him is met with a shield of hard ice. Robert's ancestral blessing encasing him like an eggshell.

It still takes some time for Robert's injuries to heal, but when he awakens from his coma, he's uncomfortably cold despite the heated room.

His hands leave behind frost on the surfaces he touches.

To say that Robert is freaking out a little, would be an understatement.

(And if his divine patron is Skadi - then he may awaken more... wolfish than before.)

Robert does not enjoy adapting to his new annoying icy lifestyle. Warm meals are a bitch to make. Any tech he interacts with becomes slow as hell. The worst in Robert's opinion; is that He feels cold all time, save for the worst of the LA heatwaves. Not just "Huh, I should put on a sweater"-cold, but "holy shit, I cant stop shaking"-cold unless he's pressed up against a space heater.

At least Beef doesn't seem to mind - fat lil dog uses Robert as his own personal ice pack.

Also having every beer he drinks ice-cold is a nice bonus...

Z-Team 100% nickname their new dispatcher "Elsa" or "Jack Frost" just to piss him off.

My brain is in Flambert territory rn, but also hilarious imagery of Robert being sweet on Waterboy and accidentally sticking to him like frozen lamp post.

Robert and Waterboy kiss, and they get stuck together lmao

It's a very sweet, tame kiss, but everyone walks in to see them actively stuck in that kiss, and they're all teasing them and telling them to get a room and to stop sucking face like depraved losers

Robert and Herm eventually unstick themselves via a mixture of water-pressure and standing close to a heater. This incident teaches them that they may need more power training before they can go farther than a chaste kiss.

(two dorks with awkward powers <3)

In a Watermechabae/Steam Engine world - Flambae would be quick to dive in and unstick the pair with a much flithier, heated kiss. >:3

For the steam engine, Robert jokingly claims that they're only dating Flambae so they can comfortably do things together. Flambae gets offended, and Robert kisses him to shut him up. It happens constantly, and Flambae sometimes overplays how offended he is just for the affection. 99% of their relationship is just teasing each other, and sometimes Waterboy but mostly each other.

Robert and Flambae's relationship would actually be so hilarious though. Robert gets mad at Flambae over something? Bam, inconveniently iced water on Flambae's next break. Just, all kinds of little icy problems that aren't actually problems for Flambae, it's all just to mildly annoy him.

Whenever these three get together, they turn the room into a sauna. <3

Flambae thought getting into a relationship with an ice-powered person, that they would be... chill. But evidently Robert isnt taking any of Chad's shit. Have fun defrosting your noodles asshole. >:)

the fire/ice pairing is so tasty honestly

Waterboy here for flavor

This idea came from @quitealotofsodapop foxtrot au. Victor finding hybrid Robert suck in his fox form hurt. Before taking off in his suit Shroud had gotten toxic to slip a spell scroll onto Roberts back without noticing before he broke into his hideout. The spell was supposed to force Robert into his fox form and make him unable to use the suit. Toxic accident tore it so with a delayed reaction with the spell Robert mid flight with a bomb strapped to his back turned into his fox form and blew up. Robert was sent flying away from the suit and landed half dead in a alley. Shroud is sending the red ring across the city to find his missing son. While walking home Victor hears a loud bang and finds a super skinny red fox with burnt fur and a chunk missing from his ear. Without thinking he picks up the little fella and takes him home not realizing he accidentally found Mecha man blue. Upon bringing him home he discovers that this fox is normal. Victor starts drawing the little fox he's calling him twinkie a bath. Robert waking up about to be lowered into a bathtub jumps onto Victor's upper shoulder rapping himself around it. It takes Mal pulling full strength to remove him while accidentally ripping out some of Victor's fur. Once lowered into the bath Robert shoots both Mal and Victor the dirtiest look and Victor swears to Mal that this fox is cursing them out with that look. After the bath and drying they face a new problem anytime Victor sets twinkie down he starts screaming it sounds creepily like a person screaming for help ot sounds like a fox mixed with a human. Mal is covering her ears because she isn't enjoying Robters cry of his people. Victor finally decides f it we are going to bed if that means snuggling with a fox he's snuggling with a fox. Robert is hoping the spell wears off so he can escape the odd hybrid and demon lady.

Lol, I was just thinking of this idea with Fox!Robert XD

Beef is currently with a sitter, or even with Grandma, so he's okay for the moment. Robert is missing his fave lil guy though, and may try breaking out of Victor and Mal's apartment to find him.

Mal normally likes screaming techno-yodelling, but the noises a fox makes might draw unwanted police attention. She can "sense" that the fox isn't normal, but isn't sure how. Possibly a low-ranked spirit or demon?

Victor quickly discovers that "Twinkie" is a manipulative creature. Will bork at the front door and dash for Victor's plate while the manbat is distracted.

Twinkie is also weirdly human at times. He has stolen phones and attempted to navigate Victor's multi-monitor computer when he thinks the others aren't looking. Mal swears she's caught the fox attempting to write a letter - holding a ballpoint pen in his mouth.

The roommates are starting to think they shouls bring Twinkie to SDN jist to get him checked for magic stuff.

Mal invites Alice over to watch the latest episode of the great British back off only once Mal leaves the room Robert hops up sitting like a person grabs the remote to change the channel to storage wars. Leaving her slack jawed Mal walks back into the room and just sees Alice and twinkie ins screaming match. It only ends after Victor picks twinkie up and walks away. Robert will give Victor the biggest puppy dog eye's to get his drink and it works every time. Victor is trying to figure out how to transport twinkie because last time he tried to move him in a dog crate he almost lost a finger and his car keys went missing.

The imagery of Alice getting into a shouting match with a fox. XD She does strike me as someone who grew up with argumentative pets.

Victor might just give up and go to work with Twinkie wrapped around his shoulders, pretend he's a fancy fur shawl.

The new dispatcher sent Victor on awful mission on purpose and he got hurt. When twinkie sees Victor hurt and before he can even say something a angry fox is flying at his head ready to claw him. Chase barely catches Robert before he attacks the dispatcher . Hugging him while crying saying he thought he died. Robert gives Chase a light lick and nuzzle before trying to escape. That dude will pay for hurting his maybe new friend.

Victor's "scarf" suddenly comes to life when Victor stumbles back in SDN with obvious injuries.

Twinkie looks at Victor. Then to the dispatcher. Cue a snarling angry fox launching at the dispatcher.

Chaze recognises that intelligence and chipped ear anywhere! He confirms that the "normal fox" is in fact A Guy when Twinkie excitedly greets him back.

Victor isn't sure how to feel about the fact that he's been sleeping in a bed with a Guy-thats-a-fox for the last few weeks.

Beef (and less importantly parts of the mecha suit ) is quickly tracked down and retrieved fr Robert's peace of mind.

If Robert is returned to his mostly-human (and naked) form, it is most certainly while on Victor's lap or in his bed.

Chase: ROBERT! IS THAT YOU? *he says this while trying to separates Robert for his new chew toy (the asshole dispatcher)*

Robert refuses to let go until he recognizes chase’s scent and lets go so he can give him a little lick on the cheek and starts to nuzzle him.

Sonar: wait what did you call Twinkie?

Chase freezes:Twinkie? *starts cackling like a mad man while holding a grumpy fox*

Blazer comes out of her office trying to understand the situation but is more confused than before: umm? Chase do you know this fox?

Chase still laughing: Know him? I used to babysit this lil fucker! Thought you were dead you idiot! *hold Robert out at arms length to get a better look at him* seriously what the hell Robert did you get stuck in fox form?

Robert immediately starts nodding his head.

Mal: fox form? He’s not just a lower level spirit?

Chase: Nope. Robert’s here is 1/4 Kumiho. Gets it from his grandmother. *looks at the fox in his arms* want me to call her?

Robert starts nodding his head frantically.

Chase: alright do you know her number or…

Robert hops down and starts tapping out his grandma’s number while chase types it in much to everyone’s shock.

Su-Jin: Hello?

Chase: Hello, Mrs. Robertson this is Chase. Robert’s old babysitter. I just found Robert and apparently he’s been stuck in fox form since he went missing.

Su Jin: You found my Bo-Bo? Where is he?

Chase: we’re at the SDN Torrance branch can you come here? Or should I take him to meet you?

Su Jin: stay there I will con to you and I will bring his Beef who’s be staying with me.

Chase: Beef? Who’s? *Su Jin hangs up* well your grandma is on her way hopefully she can fix you up. In the mean time…*turns to Sonar and Mal* can someone please tell me why you were wearing my honorary lil brother like a scarf?

Sonar explains he found Robert alone and injured and has been taking care of him not realizing he was a dude.

Fox!Robert is so overjoyed to see/smell Chase again that he's full tail-wagging, bouncing, and making those happy fox chirrups.

Sonar, Mal, and the Z-Team who've met "Twinkie" are a *little* embarrassed to learn that the suspected "low-tier fox spirit" is actually a grown demon man. Given that they've been petting and baby-talking to him this whole time. XD

The fact that this fox demon is Robert Robertson isn't lost on Blonde Blazer. She immediately makes the call to the SDN higher ups that Mecha Man has been found alive, albeit a little indisposed. A missing super showing up after they've been suspected as dead is common enough that there's a protocol for it.

Grandma Su Jin arrives at SDN Torrance with Beef in-tow. The fat chihuahua immediately recognises Robert, despite his full-vulpine form. As does Grandma.

Su Jin, petting him: "Aww~! Bo-bo, did you run into trouble?" Robert: (*sad whining mixed with delighted chirps!*) Su Jin: "I bet a certain man in a red mask is to blame." Robert: (*bounces and nods!*) Su Jin, hugs him: "Oh, poor thing. Don't worry, Grandma will make it all better. I doubt Elliot knows any advanced magic - always more the science type. You most likely had a spell tag slapped on you at some point that locked away your human form." Robert: (*worried whine?*) Su Jin: "No, it's not permanent. Paper tags rarely last long. Seems like someone washed off the worst of it - now who did that?" Robert: (*excitedly trots over to Sonar and Mal, circling them!*) Su Jin, looks at the pair curiously: "Oh?" Malevola: "Sonar found him in the alley in a bad state. Didn't even question bringing him home." Su Jin: "Did you know who he was when you found him?" Sonar, slightly nervous: "Honestly, I didn't. Thought he was just a really unlucky fox that needed help. Mal was the one to suggest that he was some sort of spirit." Su Jin, seems to appraise him: "You are a good man." Sonar: (*ears perk up with surprise!*) Chase, steering the conversation back: "So what's the plan here? Does Robert need to see a shaman or some shit to get the rest of the magic off?" Su Jin, thinking: "The spell tag has already been torn or damaged, so the magic won't last much longer. The safest option for now is to continue caring for him as these young folk already have until the magic fully decays." Chase: "And how long does that take?" Su Jin: "It can vary between how strong the binding spell is, but since it was most likely put on weeks ago; Robert could be back to his old self within the next few days or more." Robert: (*excited bounce! Him and Beef start play-chasing each other with joy!*)

This is what leads to Robert rather suddenly turning back to his natural maegu form in Victor's bed. XD.

Victor waking up to Robert sleeping on his chest. Now that isn’t surprising Robert still has a habit of gravitating toward Sonar at night because he’s warm. No what was surprising was the face he’s looking at isn’t a fluffy fox but a man. A dangerous seductive man with what at first glance looks like Winged eyeliner but judging but the fact he can also see the man hand that’s black with elongated claws is probably just markings. That’s when he realized the second thing. Robert is naked and on top of Victor who is terrified of moving and waking this beautiful man up and having him leave.

He carefully manages to grab his phone to text mal.

Victor: MAL SOS!

Robert changed back into his Gumibo form!

Mal: isn’t that good?

Victor sends the oh no he’s hot meme yo mal. Along side a close up of his face.

Let me rephrase.

He changed back.

He’s Naked!

Abd I am currently questioning if I’m BI RN OR HE JUST HAS SPIRIT MAGIC THAT MAKES EVERYONE WHO SEE HIM WANT TO MAKE FLYING FOXES!

Victor: OH AND IF YOU COULD TELL HE’S SLEEPING ON TOP OF ME AND CAT LAW SAYS I CANNOT MOVE

Poor Victor laying there while Robert makes biscuits on his chest in his sleep like a cat. Robert is enjoying his warm and without thinking stretches out fully pulling Victor into a hug while Victor is thinking don't move Mal help me.

Guess what Mal does when she enters the room. Take out her phone. She's literally :3 while Victor is suffering, fur puffed up and muttering under his breath "Help. Me. Asshole."

Robert is completely deaf to the quiet sniggering, and not even Victor's erratic heartbeat wakes him up. He clings to the bat like the world's strongest koala that also happens to be touch-starved, and one of his hand ends up finding Victor's tiny tail.

Victor closes his eyes, willing himself to not grow a stiffy.

Mal after getting a few pictures to properly document Victor’s Bi awakening she grabbed some boxers and one of his Harvard hoodies. she was about to start dress in the fox man when Robert sleepily opened his eyes.

Robert: I’m trying to sleep…*finally notices his hand is back to normal and sudden sits up still Strattling Victor. he smiled

I’m BACK TO NORMAL…finally notices he’s naked and on top of the bat hybrid

Mal laughs and holds the out the clothes for Robert.

Both idiots stare at each other under Mal's amused gaze. Blindy, without breaking eye contact, Robert palms for the clothes Mal is handing him, and then books it to the bathroom! Almost eating shit on the way.

Victor stays on bed, blinking at the ceiling. That... could have gone a lot worse.

Mal texts the less explicit pictures or ones where she cropped anything below Robert’s waist to the team group chat.

Good news everyone Robert is back to normal. In rated news Sonar has just experienced his first bi panic with a hot fox man who when he woke up and noticed he was mostly human ended up strattling Sonar. :3

Love when this post comes around with more add ons.

Robert is hiding in the bathroom because he's embarrassed for using the hot bat man a pillow while also grabbing his little tail while hugging him. He's debating on climbing up and out of the window to avoid those 2 because he likes the nice man named Victor but he also knows people fall for his fox charms. Apparently that's how dad got Father. He was swimming in a lake transformed into his human form on the island in the middle of it. My father slacked jaw almost passed out from a nose bleed. A wet half man half fox was too much for him. While dad fell for the cute nerd watching him.

Before Robert can commit to jumping out the window and hoping for the best he can hear Chase and Grandma Su Jin inside the apartment and walks out praying he can leave quickly without embarrassing himself further.

Meanwhile Victor thinks he’s safe until he sees Robert wearing his hoodie and thinks Welp not sure if it spirit magic but he’s hot and wearing his hoodie so he’s calling dibs.

Poor Victor almost passes out seeing Robert in his boxers. Mal "accidentally " handed him them instead of shorts. Vic is fighting for his life against mega bat wanting out.

Grandma Su Jin is making bets with Chase about when they'll get the first set of grandkits.

Chase: Su Jin I mean this in the most respectful way possible but BatBoner is NOT WORTHY of our boy. Am I grateful he and Mal found and saved him of course but Robert can do so much better.

Su Jin just hums the tunes of Fixer upper from Frozen.

Chase don't take tone with me. Batboner would making Robert into the next Tyler swift singing about his ex leaving him bare foot pregnant in the front yard. Victor I'm right here.

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I absolutely do not believe Robert is suave and good at flirting. That man was shown a candle lit dinner under a cherry blossom tree with a gorgeous woman who just revealed something extremely sensitive and personal to her and he said “Did you know the tire company invented the Michelin star system 🤓☝️”

I love nerdy Waterboy with absolutely zero game but YOU CANT TELL ME ROBERT ISNT EQUALLY LAME AND SWAGLESS

Bless their hearts they would be locked in a cycle of you have cool eyes and come here often until the z team intervened

Ok first of all I LOVE THIS ASK. Tagging @lio-the-chaotic-nonbeanie-weenie cause I’ve talked a lot about this with them.

I’m one of the many majority that think he’s a bit suave and stuff. He just like..has these moments of just..doing that.

For starters, I think he was doing that to ease tension but..he doesn’t exactly know what to say in that moment, so he probably just thinks of some fun fact to distract her. And also with the Mandy romance after the date and they are in the locker rooms and she suggests another date he says “Would that be a date with Blonde Blazer or Mandy~?” Moment is..that’s kinda flirty, ESPECIALLY If you choose the “Either Works” option. If you do, he says “Hey like you said, they’re both you. And you know what? You are who I like. So I’ll be happy either way.”

…

And then you have Mr. Robert “Do you like sour patch kids?” Robertson..the third. So I GET what you are saying.

So..here’s my take on it. Getting people in is easier for him. He can flirt, be suave, etc. For some people it’s easier. Some people, it’s more difficult. But he does have some level of game.

But at the same time…he’s also..awkward. It really depends on the situation and person really. Sometimes he could say something really hot and cool in the moment. Other times..he’s asking if you’re gonna finish your food when he actually means “hey are you full or would you like dessert?”

Now with Watermech and my personal headcanon for them, at the START it’s more of the awkward side. He only realizes he REALLY likes Herm six months before they get together (compared to Herm’s year and a half of crushing on and trying with Robert and that’s NOT counting his crush on Mecha Man Blue).

And I hc that Herm is the one who confesses first. Why?

Cause Robert can’t get a fucking word out. For the first time in his life..he just..CANT. He can play off of Herm’s awkward flirting just fine (he doesn’t..quite know if it’s flirting or if it’s Herm being awkward cause well..it’s hard to tell) but the moment he wants to flirt or say something, he just…can’t.

He’s had so many times where he gets convinced by Malevola and Sonar to go say something to Herm so he goes to do so, but the MOMENT he sees Herm he turns RIGHT back around and starts bonking his head on the nearest wall once he’s somewhere “safe”. He just..can’t do it.

And what kills him is his doubt. He REALLY likes this guy. He really does. But..Herm is so genuine. So sweet and kind. He’s sensitive too. He’s just..an amazing guy. And robert..is himself. He’s done so much shit he’s not proud of and he’s jaded as hell. He doesn’t want to snuff out Herm’s light in those pretty silver eyes of his.

He ends up in this cycle of wanting to flirt, not being able to and then scolding himself harshly for even trying cause he doesn’t want Herm hurt by him. He’s a hot mess.

So when Herm eventually confesses, he’s a bit surprised. And then it kind of..makes sense. All the stuff Herm has done for him, said to him. Herm has..been trying (failing at times but still trying)..this whole time. Every snack or lunch Herm has given, every strange compliment, every moment Herm has said something..genuinely kind to him with those cute rosy cheeks even rosier…

He was..trying.

And after Robert gives his million and one reasons why they shouldn’t be together and Herm gives his million and one reasons why they should, Robert can’t deny it anymore and accepts. And after the awkward silence Herm just goes “w-what now?” And Robert blinks and very bluntly, he’s like “Wanna make out? Herm gets VERY flustered and he says he HAS to take Robert on a date first.

And so they date. And Robert is a mix of flirty suaveness and just..awkward or dorky moments. It’s mostly flirty cause he loves flustering Herm but..the awkward moments are coming more to light. And Herm can’t even tell which is which cause he’s in so deep.

Like sometimes flirting for them is telling each other fun facts. Herm is blushing while telling him facts about why carrots are orange (cause Robert hates them) or like, groundhog hibernation patterns and Robert’s listening to every word like Herm is saying fucking poetry and then he’s like “Did you know that the Baby Ruth candy bar almost got in trouble for being too close to Babe Ruth’s name?”. And Herm blinks and he’s like “N-No! I-I don’t..eat chocolate. Tell me m-more!”

And the Z team are just…so dead inside.

So yeah. I’m with the majority. But I also DO SEE WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. MY WORD I DO.

Running my fingers through Roberts hair I can't help but note that he's out like a light. His face buried firmly into my chest. First time Robert slept in his apartment it took him a long time to sleep. Every noise or movement would cause him to jump up in defense. Robert can't sleep if he doesn't feel safe. Surprisingly Victor would think with his new hybrid form that Robert would be on edge instead he's clinging to me like his life depends on me. It's getting harder to remember what he looked like when he was human. Looking at the deep bags under his eyes he wished Robert would have stayed be his side instead of running off in hopes of beating a cure out of his dad. Mega purring under his sink inching to get out and meet Robert. Not now I just want to hold him for a little bit longer before intruding him to my my new side.
