surely im the first person to ever think of this #dispatch #memeedit #robertrobertsoniii #waterboy #waterboydispatch
an edited tumblr screenshot, the names and pictures have been changed to fit the characters. first is a post from "dispatcherIII" whose icon is the SDN logo from Robert's shirt, he posts a screenshot of text messages (with his and Waterboy's pictures next to the texts) where Robert asks "Do you know why Beef's head is so wet" and Waterboy responds "me i pet him wethands style". Below that it's reblogged by the same fictional tumblr user and he comments "here is beef" with a screenshot of Robert feeding Beef a slice of ham, and another of Robert holding Beef.

A mirror selfie of me, I'm pale with short brown hair, wearing a brightly colored button up shirt patterned with drinks and citrus. I'm also wearing a bolo tie and earrings. A full color illustration of a humanoid shadow monster holding onto a woman. The background is abstract blue. The woman has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She's standing with one arm held up at the wrist, and the other touching a hand on her shoulder. She wears a crocheted tunic dress, a beaded moon earring, blue eye shadow, and orange lipstick. Behind her is a grinning shadow monster, leering over her head, one hand on her wrist, and the other on her shoulder. A beaded medallion that looks like a black and white beetle surrounded by stripes of green and purple. The body of the beetle is made of a black and white polished gemstone. A full color illustration of a top down view of three men sprawled on a bed cuddled together. You can see a wood floor, with a pink carpet on top, the bed is dressed with a striped comforter, and pillows of varying shades of purple. From left to right the men are: Weird Al, a hairy pale gnome man with slicked back brown hair and a thick mustache, his hands have dark claws, and he's wearing a tank top cropped to above his nipples that says "Imolia", a lace garter belt, white boxers, unbuttoned dark jeans, aviator glasses, and white socks. Weird al is laying on Sarahel's right shoulder and looking up at him with dark brown eyes. Next to him is Sarahel, an aasimar with gold skin and pointed ears. He has long maroon hair, and is wearing a lavender button up that's mostly unbuttoned to show his chest, green pants, and blue socks. He has the arm under Weird Al cocked to rest his hand behind his head, the other arm is draped over Alston's chest, he's looking down at Weird Al with golden eyes, and his legs are slightly crossed at the shin. Finally next to him is Alston, a gnome almost identical to Weird al, except his hair is down and wavy, he has no claws, and he has stubble instead of a mustache. He's wearing a red turtleneck patterned with tangerines, an argyle sweater vest, light wash jeans, half moon glasses, a dark ring, and purple socks. He's laid on Sarahel's stomach, looking up at him, with one hand on top of his, and the other draped on his leg.

What if they got a break? A moment to breathe in a field? Wouldn't it be nice? #malevolent #jarthur #privateeyes #johnmalevolent #arthurlester
A full color illustration of two figures laying in the grass and dandelions, one on top of the other. The figure on the bottom is a black silhouette with grey scars and large mask like eyes, John. He has his left hand on the other man, Arthur's, shoulder, and his right hand cupping Arthur's face and neck, looking down at his face. Arthur is a pale man with short, wavy, blond hair. He has a mustache, yellow eyes, and wears a white button up. He's looking up at John with wonder, his left hand resting on his chest, where you can see his pinky is actually a pitch black twig attached to his hand.

He's wearing several earrings, a mesh long sleeve, a bodice, shorts, socks, and ankle boots. His hands are clawed and wear several rings.

Three versions of the same robotic woman. She's pale with curly purple hair, moles, and bright teal eyes. In the first pose she's leaning on one hip, one hand on the opposite, with her legs crossed at the ankle, looking off to the left. Her hair is in finger waves, she wears dark lipstick and eyeshadow, and wears a dark red dress. Behind her is a plain dark grey room. In the second pose she's stood looking at the camera in a wide stance, she wears the same clothing and makeup, but her makeup is smeared, and her dress is torn up the side. She looks wild and has dark veins covering her body. behind her is static and trailing teal roots. In the third she looks normal again, smiling at the camera wearing a plethora of necklaces, bracelets, and rings. She also wears colorful sneakers, bright orange striped pants, and a patterned pink tunic tank top. Behind her is pink half tones and a symbol of bright pink heart shaped sunglasses.

A full color illustration of two identical men. They're both pale with brown eyes and brown hair. One is standing behind the other, winking and smiling at the camera, holding one arm out like he's taking a selfie, and the other is wrapped around the other man to hold a cigarette to his mouth. He's wearing a cropped tee that says "BABY SLUT" and aviator glasses, his hair is slicked back, he has dark clawed hands, and he has a mustache. The other man is staring off screen with a beleaguered look. He has stubble and his hair is wavy and loose. He wears a red button up, grey cardigan, half moon glasses, and a blue pendant. The rest of the image is stylized like a magazine collage with cut out letters above them reading "Give it up".

A full color illustration in the style of a seasonal fashion collection. They stand on a green photo set with text above them that says "Spring." The subjects are four versions of the same man, he's pale with brown eyes, dark brown hair, a mustache, a lot of body hair, and black clawed hands. Left to right: he's leaned back with one hand over his head and the other on his leg wearing white sneakers, white tube socks, dark grey shorts with a mouth printed on them, a grey shirt that reads "Call me a 747 cause I've gotta few screws loose and I sucked a guy off", aviator glasses, and an orange hat that reads "lemme get a four loko, boner pill, and $6 on pump 2". The next one is leaning back with his tongue out holding up a peace sign, he's wearing dress shoes, white knee socks, daisy dukes, a red button up tied over his chest, a blue amulet, and half moon glasses, holding a brief case. The next one is leaning on one foot with his hand on his hip, wearing white sneakers, white tube socks, red shorts with a white splatter pattern, a black shirt that reads "filthy whore seeks hopeless romantic", aviator glasses, and a red hat that matches the shorts. The last one is posed like he's walking away with one hand in his pocket, wearing pink tennis shoes, daisy dukes, a pink crop top, a leather harness, two leather arm bands, a choker, several bangs, aviator glasses, and a number of earrings.

A full color illustration of the main characters from the podcast Malevolent. Arthur is a pale man with short blond hair and glowing orange yellow eyes. He has a large scar on his cheek, one on the front of his throat, and his left pinky is replaced with a gnarled twig. He's wearing a white button up with the sleeves rolled up, brown slacks, and brown suspenders. In his right hand he's holding a wooden box with ghosts trailing out of it, and in his left he's holding a necklace with a glowing blue gem in the pendant. Wrapped around him and peering over his shoulder is John, who is a black silhouette of a person, with bright yellow eyes. He's squinting at the necklace, with one hand on Arthur's shoulder, and the other merging into his left arm. Behind them is a giant ghost under a sheet looming as if to attack them.
