grace does Not Know how to deal with this he has not interacted with ppl in Years

i enjoy the headcanon that simon is selectively mute at first,,, man is traumatized and doesn't really believe this is all real yet </3

transcript in case my handwriting sucks lol vvv

Simon rejected sleep.

Simon is afraid that everything will be taken away from him again(((

I really wanted to show how I see what is happens to bloodymary right after the moment when Grace takes Simon from the bloody ocean I feel like I want it to be creepy and disturbing.

Grace will never stop talking

that could not be further from the truth. i won't dare speak for everyone but my fondest fandom experiences have been geeking over someone's fic (or art), sometimes my own, sometimes a friend's, and enjoying talking to them about what they were thinking when they made it, what they wanted to convey, digging into the themes they're exploring and the concepts they are proposing.

in short, talk to the people in your fandom. share your thoughts. fanworks are a conversation, not a transaction.

Because Flambae is stronger and has powers and if Robert wants to save these people so bad, then Flambae will do it for him, as long as Robert stays safe. Why wouldn't he? It's definitely the safer option.

Thinking about Flambae who gets seriously hurt or better yet, loses his life by doing this.

Robert girl dinner:

Robert minding his own business eating a twinkie, which makes the Z-team ask when the last time he ate was.

Which then leads to another conversation about how Robert cannot survive on Twinkies alone and needs to eat real food.

Robert: No, no, no, this is fine. It called ✨girl dinner✨

Z-team: What? How do you even know about that? That's not what that means.

Robert: I saw it on the clock app that Prism showed me. I can eat as many Twinkies as I want as long as I call a ✨girl dinner.✨

(Every time he says it he does little jazz hands.)

Prism: Bitch, it called TikTok and you're not allowed on there by yourself.

Z-team: Proceeds to drag Robert to someone's house for dinner and a movie.

Mandy sent him to a press conference and he spent the whole time talking about the injustice of it all. Someone posted a poll on Twitter asking if Twinkies count as girl dinner.

The overall consensus was that Robert should be allowed to do whatever makes him happy. Robert tried to use this in an argument.

Robert has friends?:

So aside from Chase, who's more like a brother, Robert has never had a friend. He was a homeschooled kid who spent all of his time training and then went into hero work young.

The opportunity to make a friend was not there, it was something he always wanted, but tried not to think about too much.

Suddenly, as a dispatcher of all things, he has an entire group of friends.

They're weird, funny, sarcastic, and the coolest people that he's ever met. The crazy thing is that they like him, they actually spend time with him. They remember the things that he says and go out of their way to talk to him. 

After beating Shroud, he's never been happier. He's finally found his people, who might even be his family and not just his friends.

Or, that's what he thought at least. Now he wasn't sure.

Let's say it had been an absolutely terrible day at work, the worst people were calling for the Z team today. Every Karen had a problem that had to be solved in just the right way, it was a nightmare for everybody.

The team were in the break room, fuming about the day and letting off steam and talking crap about their boss.

Which was Robert.

Robert, who had been on his way to the break room to try to cheer them up, stopped and listened in when he heard his name.

He listened as they tore him apart. Calling him every name under the sun, talking about how pathetic he is, how he should look for another line of work because clearly he's not made for this.

Hell the only reason he has this job is because he's too weak and pathetic to be a hero so he gets his rocks off telling real heroes what to do.

Eventually, they start calming down and admit that Robert isn't the problem. They were just mad, absolutely nothing they said was true. The real problem was the callers and it had to be really rough for Robert too. Robert is their friend and the best dispatcher they've ever had, obviously they didn't mean anything they said.

Robert didn't hear any of that, though. He didn't hear them start to calm down, he didn't hear them remind each other that they love Robert and that their anger was misdirected.

If they had known he had heard any of it, they would've bent over backwards apologizing and making sure that he knew none of that was true.

But they didn't know, and Robert didn't hear.

Which is why everyone was confused when Robert didn't come back after lunch. Nobody knew where he was, his phone was off, and he wasn't in the building. 

Before Z team really started to panic and report him missing Mandy called them into the boardroom. She didn't know where Robert was either, but she just received an email from him with his resignation.

Attached to it was a letter for the Z team, most of it was just Robert apologizing. He didn't mean to be in their way, he didn't mean to intrude, he didn't mean to invite himself into their lives where he wasn't wanted. He really tried his best and he's sorry it wasn't enough. He's even more sorry for not realizing sooner that he was holding them back.

He told them all that he was so proud of them for being the heroes that he knew they could be, despite him being in the way, they had really started to thrive. He's grateful he got to be even part of that and he's rooting for them.

Obviously, after hearing this, the Z team rushed to Robert's apartment, but it was empty. Not the furniture or anything big. The couch and bed they had gotten him were still there. But all of Beef's things and the little trinkets and keepsakes that Robert had collected, were gone.

Just like that, Robert was gone. 

Robert: "Shit, how are we supposed to fix the mech suit if we can't recreate the Astral Pulse, we can't power the suit without it..."

Rocky: "Rocky have suggestion. Robert know about astrophage, question?"

It'd be so funny to me if they actually make something stronger than the astral pulse

Ahh you caught me after my first watch huh?

Tbh I’ve been trying to figure out how a dispatch/project hail mary crossover would work.

Either Grace somehow being in this world and Phen being his other alien friend who offered to take him home to earth but Grace declined since he was happy on Erid with Rocky.

Or Grace somehow ended up wormholed into the Dispatch Universe and he and Rocky need to find their way home.

As for this ask, we’ll go with the first one.

I can see it going like:

Robert: I’m sorry, you want to use star eating things to power my suit? What if it eats my suit?

Rocky: Is okay! Grace smart! Grace Rocky do big science!

Grace: I mean…we can try but it’s gonna take a lot of breading to make sure it doesn’t evolve to eat your suit.

Robert: fair enough. How long does the astrophage last?

Grace: Apparently enough for a 13 light year trip.

Robert: Holy shit. I’m in.

Grace: Okay but you’ll have to be careful in storing the astrophage. And you have to check on them to make sure they didn’t breed and evolve.

Rocky: And don’t be stupid like Grace.

Grace: Hey!

Robert: Ohh boy. Uh, you know what, we’ll figure that out later. Show me what we’re working with him.
