With...you know, the entire Z-team + Robert also being ex-villains?

the letter in question ⬇️

weather boy please. why did you have to send us the harsh winter storms. it is oh so cold. weather boy whyyyyyy

"Contrary to popular belief, I do not control the weather outside of Los Angeles! Unless, well, that's where you, in fact, are, then my bad—but hey! You know what that means? Snowmen! Snow angels! Snow forts! And! Even! A! Snow! Ball! Fight! That's right folks, for the low low cost of minor-to-major-depends-on-you frostbite, you, yes you! Can pelt my employees with snowballs! Heck, I'll supply you with more snow!"

"...Oh, and please, Weatherboy was my father. Haha, just kidding! Did you believe it? I believed it. Psyche! That's another "just kidding" for the count! I didn't believe it at all!"

Just to tell you this and make sure it eats away at your brain in a glorious way like a hyperfixation

Dispatch streamer au

Dispatch streamer au

And it's Herman centric

Welcome to my Ted talk

I will now let go of your arm

And disappear like I didn't do anything at all

(might make a fic—or not, unless my ass gets motivated enough—kenough)

ohohoooo youre gonna get Back Here buddy

streamer au. like. everyone is a streamer? or is it just herm? either way ive already decided on his niche

cooking.

he started it for his grandma, she was in the hospital, too sick to talk or call, but he still wanted to be able to have some sort of connection, some kind of way that she could see him, know he was taking care of everything at home, and the nurses made sure to put it on for her everytime

when the day before she was discharged, he did a sort of "last stream" vod since there were a few other people who watched along for advice, he was a really small channel and he his grandma was coming back, so he didnt need to keep streaming

but then he got encouragement in the chat to keep going, that they really liked his cooking and it helped them eat better themselves since he talked about the instructions while he cooked (brownie points if this person is robert hehe) and he decided that if he can help people while doing something he likes, then no harm no foul, right?

the thing is, he gets Really good at it, and gets starts getting a bit popular because of that

if youll allow me to get cliche, at a certain point, his followers start begging for a face reveal at whatever follower count, and he gets really shy about it, but eventually relents and agrees

so the follower special has his full body now, not just having his head cut off and out of frame, and of course everyone is going crazy for that man

a bunch of viewers start popping in, raids, what have you, this could probably be where the z-team recruitment stand in comes in to play honestly, and hes genuinely shocked

the entire stream hes really flustered, making a little cake for the channel, half of the time hes talking is just to say thank you to the chat whenever they compliment him or donate or do literally anything

and when its over hes shell shocked, setting a piece of the cake aside for his grandma and wondering if what happened was real or not when his phone starts buzzing out of control

suddenly hes getting a Ton of collab requests, batz0, Devil Down Under, Prism herself-

Did you read that one waterboy whump fic where he gets stuck in the freezer after some people stick him there and he gets four or even more problems (physical problems and maybe mental problems too)

not yet actually!!!

i really like the idea of him being just a little bit unsettling though (maybe even a lot if you want to get jiggy with it)

like maybe hes REALLY good at disappearing, whenever you turn your back to him hes Immediately Gone (with the wind) (get it)

i have the feeling that villains wouldn't take him seriously at first, cause look at the guy, hes goofy hes fun! but if hes going in the unsettling direction i think itll look a lot like the lex luthor image when he locks in

maybe he could cause select blackouts with the weather shit and starts messing with people? he deffo has the cadence of someone who would play jigsaw level mind games just to mess with red ring lackeys or something

I just really like this au and it made me think!

Does weatherman!Waterboy like metal too like canon? Maybe just was a phase (and he has like a bunch of punk clothes buried in shame in contrast to his bright suit)

If he didn’t: how would he react to the kind of heavy metal canon herm listens to?

weatherman would still like metal but cooperate deems it too inappropriate for work and as the hr rep he has to follow the rules

that being said theres nothing in the rulebook about annoying everyone with the most deliberate coworker music ever or 2000's to 2010's pop music in his office

He gets sick and just has a cloud constantly (haha… get it… under the weather.. okay I’ll see myself out)

IT WOULD BE VERY FUNNY ACTUALLY.

some1 asks about it and he goes "haha what cloud" while actively trying to wave it away and it just gets worse
