Batfam AU where Dick Grayson starts a YouTube channel during his time as Robin.
edit !: here's the fic!
It starts off as an educational channel, with Bruce and Dick making self-defense and survival tips videos. Gothamites love watching their dynamic play out, especially in the self defense videos as Robin is the one to demonstrate each move on Batman and despite the man's lack of facial expressions and quips, there's a sort of pride shining through.
Dick loves giving the people what they want however, so slowly the content starts diversifying into vlogs while they're on stake outs, challenge videos and the occasional prank.
Due to the various demands, they also start live streams for whenever they are practicing in the Cave.
It becomes a tradition for each new Robin to take over handling the channel, with other batfamily members joining in here and there.

Loosely based of these storyboards
I like to think the experience ate Orion up and made Optimus Prime terrified of caring for himself. He either fears something bad will happen again or just thinks that he deserves the neglect as a self-imposed punishment for Megatron
This is now one of my favourite spots on this website oh my god.
I really hope someone has done this before
But just in case
Season 3 huh (said 3 years too late by someone who still hasn't finished the show)
I can only imagine the Superfams reaction. Probably horror.
I made a thing….
Dick spent so much time climbing, hanging off things, or solving problems upside down that it became a joke with the Titans that Robins think better like that. Fast forward a couple of years and Jason threatens to shoot the next person who flips him upside down when he's scheming (Artemis gets Bizarro to do it). Tim nearly kicks Kon in the face for flipping him over. Kara does it when Stephanie's being annoying, but mercifully by the time Damian's there, no one does it to him. Still, occasionally one of the Bats will be upside down because they got caught like that or fell through a vent and have a Eureka moment and everyone will feel vindicated and it starts up all over again.
Bianca: Where are we going?
Persephone: We're gonna go see Uncle Apollo
Nico: The sun god?! :D
Persephone: Yeah.
Bianca: Wont that hurt Papa?
Hades: No, angioletta, the sun doesn't hurt me. I'm not a vampire.
Arrival:
Apollo: Oh, hey, guys. Didn't expect you for another hour.
Hades: We decided to be early.
Apollo: Okay, well, uh, c'mon in.
Entering:
Nico: *realizing he's in a doctor's office*
Apollo: Okay, who's first? *holds up a vaccine*
Nico: *GAAASSSP* NOOOO! *tries to get away*
Hades: *picks him up off the ground easily*
Apollo:
Persephone: ...uhm, Bianca, sweetheart, why don't you go first?
Bianca: *hiding behind Persephone* Will it hurt?
Apollo: Only a little bit.
Hades, holding a squirmy Nico: Niccoló, you need- to get- vaccinated!
Nico: NO! I DON'T NEED! AAARHSOVJSMZOF
Persephone: Bianca, you also need to get vaccinated. Go sit on that chair next to Apollo
Bianca: *hesitantly goes over*
Apollo: Don't worry, kiddo. This'll be quick *gives her the shot* See? That wasn't so bad!
Bianca:
Bianca: *cries loudly then runs over to Persephone*
Nico: *starts to cry because Bianca is crying*
Hades: Give it now. Give it now while he's still!
Apollo: *gives Nico the shot* Okay...they should be good.
Persephone: Thanks, Apollo. Sorry about this
Apollo: Eh, normal reaction. Now, you said you wanted to vaccinate three of your kids?
Hades:
Persephone:
---
Zagreus: NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!
Hades: Zagreus, you're siblings went through with it, so will you
Zagreus: They're half human! They have to get shots! I don't! I am immune to all! I am no weakling!!!
Persephone: ZAGREUS, YOU COME OVER HERE RIGHT NOW AND GET VACCINATED OR NO RUNS FOR THE NEXT CENTURY!
People talking about how Finn Wolfhard always plays a struggling queer boy in love with his best friend when they could be talking about how Ben Schwartz always plays struggling lonely blue ADHD boys.
I mean between Dewey, Leonardo, and Sonic it's pretty clear.
Lance? Why Lance?
The guy's redemption arc.
my little cousin confidently declared that mother nature had a counterpart named daddy electric and i feel like this concept needs to be explored
To anyone who thinks Bruce has a clear and consistent favourite child I raise you this: it is infinitely funnier for Bruce to have a complicated and elaborate “ranking” system of his kids that only he’s privy to.
Picture this: Batman, dosed with truth serum, gets asked as a gag from one of the goons holding him captive who his favourite bat-vigilante is and instead of giving a straight answer, he launches into this whole explanation about the ranking system and who’s in the current lead, who’s hanging behind, etc. At some point (this is a mystery to everyone involved) a whiteboard appears and he starts explaining his system like he’s a football coach before an important match. Out of nowhere he starts pulling out little cardboard cutouts of his kids and pins them to the board. At some point the red string comes out.
Jason hasn’t killed someone in a week? Automatically promoted to favourite. Tim hasn’t caused an international incident in the past month? Puts him a few points ahead that keep decreasing the longer he refuses real sleep (20 minute power naps don’t count Tim! Says powernap inventor Bruce Wayne). Cass gave him a hug this morning and wished him a good day? Favourite until he gets a call from dick telling him (without shouting!!!!) that he’ll be there for this week’s Sunday dinner. Duke accidentally scratches the Batmobile? Demoted to the “in trouble” zone (which, honestly, that’s where his kids spend most of the time in😭). Damian did not attempt to free all the animals in the zoo they visited? Favourite. Until Bruce found out he was just trying to conceal the cat hidden in his room that Bruce explicitly forbade him from keeping.
Dick arrives at the family dinner with a busted shoulder and a bruise the size of Texas on his face? Gets demoted so far down that even azraeil scores higher than him. He’s in the “in trouble” zone for a constant month after that. Oh one of them survived an almost death? Favourite for at least the next week. At least. Multiple people survive an almost death? EVERYONES the favourite. The least favourite is the growing grey hairs on his head.
The end of day results are decided by who bothers to wish him goodnight and if all of them have fucked up in some way the past week then Jon (Kent) becomes the automatic favourite until someone cracks a joke that Bruce actually finds funny.
The favourite child changes daily, hourly even, and his kids are aware this system exists and keep trying to crack the code but he always Knows and just smirks smugly.
