[ID: a blue and yellow themed picmix of Herman/Waterboy from the game Dispatch. He's shown adjusting his goggles with an anxious expression. some stickers include two blue heart borders at the top and bottom, a pin that says "I'd rather be smooching my nerdy boyfriend," a patch that says "calm down" with a wobbly smile, text that reads "autism rocks," a bouncing blue smiley, a lava lamp, a rotating star of david, a little caution sign, and a yellow squid sticker. /End ID]
Ahhhhhh! I feel so shy asking for this, but I’ve been lurking on your blog for a while and I love the work you’ve been doing for the community! (And I love Chief! He deserves all the treats! <333)
I’ve seen you writing some Dispatch letters lately and was wondering if I could get one from Robert to my s/i, Nevermore? She’s an elemental (fire) superhero, and she works on the Z-Team, and they’re dating, and yeah 🫣💕 (and she knows he’s Mecha Man, so there’s no need to worry about secret identities in either direction)
I don’t know how to best describe them without making this ask too wordy, but if there are any details you need that I missed, please feel free to reach out to me, should you wish. If not, good luck! And feel free to totally ignore this too should you wish okaythankyoubye! 😅

**Flames of justice, flames of love, whatever keeps you burning it can be easy for a hero to forget how much light they bring to the lives of other people. Luckily, it's a good dispatcher's job to know what you need to hear, when you need to hear it most. Your letter arrives with the brave posthound, who with a powerful pose and a "WOOF!" announces your delivery!** @ember-frost-ships
To my walking inferno,
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this properly—probably because you’d laugh and set something on fire before I finished—but I’ve never once thought you were too much. Not when the room heats up the second you walk in, not when your emotions run as hot as your powers, not when you talk with your hands and nearly singe my eyebrows off. If anything, you’re exactly the right amount of everything.
You burn bright. You always have. And sure, some people might squint at that, step back, complain about the heat. Me? I lean in. I like the warmth. I like the danger. I like the way you’re intense and hilarious at the same time, tossing out jokes mid-mission like the world isn’t actively falling apart. Watching you work with the Z-Team is like watching a headline write itself—bold, explosive, unforgettable.
But here’s the thing I don’t say enough: I don’t just admire the superhero. I love the woman who drops the act when it’s just us. The one who vents, rambles, laughs too loud, gets fired up about things she cares about and refuses to shrink herself for anyone. You don’t apologize for being bright, and you shouldn’t. I wouldn’t want you any other way.
I know you worry sometimes—wonder if you’re overwhelming, if you’re a lot to handle. Let me be clear: I’m not overwhelmed. I’m captivated. I don’t want less fire, Nevermore. I want all of it. I want the sparks, the flare-ups, the warmth at the end of a long day when you finally let yourself rest.
So yeah, keep being intense. Keep being funny. Keep being unapologetically you. I’ll be right here, chasing your light, pretending I don’t like the danger nearly as much as I do.
-Waterboy (who is currently living and dating Cosmix)
-Robert (who is currently dating Flambé)
-Blonde Blazer (who had a crush on Robert then was rejected and got over it)
-Prism (she hasn’t really done much except befriend Flambé and try and homewreck Cosmix and Waterboy by confessing to Cosmix)
-Flambé (who is currently dating Robert)
The tea is insane when it comes to BB and Robert. BB had a crush on Rob, I told her to go for it. She got rejected and oh my god it’s fucking awful trying to get them not depressed so the notif disappears. Anyways she moves on and their FIRST INTERACTION AFTER ALL THAT, ROBERT GETS A CRUSH ON HER?!?! BIT LATE NOW!
so yeah, then rob clocks Flambé in the restaurant and is like “oh wow I love them both!” And I am a sucker for flambert so yeah, first gay couple on my island!!! Huzzah!
Will be getting pics when I can be bothered to charge my switch because oh my god, the battery life is insanely ass on the Nintendo switch.
