this is what happened right
Hear me out here, slow burn found family.
Enemies turning into siblings, tired mentors turning into parents, the chaotic background character becoming that weird family member that shows up two hours late to everything with wine.
All these characters going from “I’m a lone wolf, I don’t need anybody” to getting so used to the love and support of the others that they end up like “hello, I have 17 kids and 35 siblings and I’m sorry I’m late to the PTA meeting, I had to give my 23 parental figures a ride to the mall”.
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.
Achilles my poor boy-
Binging CoryxKenshin rn but this is so them
hello sonadow nation
Yeah, they get it.
Zag and Hermes and their scary goth bfs
That thing where u hold turtle as burger (a little more horrific when u don’t have object permeance 😣)
If anyone remembers The Who Was Show on Netflix…. I can’t be the only one with the firm belief the entire thing was just a damned shitpost. Like c’mon you know you can’t argue.
…….I’m just gonna…. Go…. Scramble into bed and sob….
Have a nice day everyone…
Got tagged here and on Twitter that clip compilation of Keanu and his he he he laugh
Nico: Are you sure you want to do this? I know the Underworld isn't an ideal place for an Apollo kid
Will: No, I want to. If it means a lot to you for me to meet your parents, then so be it.
Nico: Are you sure? You know we can always just Iris Message them.
Will: Nico. I want you to know that I am serious about this relationship. I want your parents to know that too.
Nico: ... :) Okay. Let's go.
Will: Okay. But can I ask? Why's your sister coming with us?
Bianca: Oh, I'm here for your protection.
Will: Oh, well, that's a little relieving. Someone gets to protect us
Bianca: No. I'm here to protect you.
Will: ...huh?
Bianca: As Nico said, not an ideal place for an Apollo kid. The dangers outside of the palace are nothing we can't protect you from. But inside the palace...that's another story.
Will: What's inside the palace?
Bianca:
Nico:
Bianca: Something you should know is that there are people who would kill for us. And one of those people is... Mr Achilles.
Will: Achilles? ...wait, as in the Greek warrior Achilles?
Nico: Yes, and he's very protective of us, if we do say so ourselves.
Will: But...what does he have against me?
Bianca: Nothing! Of course he has nothing against you. Your father on the other hand...
Nico: Well, you know how the story of Patroclus and Achilles ended...
Will: ...Oh, fuck.
---
Nico, Will, Bianca: *peeking into the hall*
Nico: Okay, here's the plan. Will, you stick with me. Under no circumstances are you allowed to let go of my hand. Bianca, distract Mr Achilles if he gets in our way. We'll run past and go to my room. We'll stay there until dinner.
Bianca: Got it.
Will: Wont your dad be suspicious why Bianca's here but you're not?
Bianca: I'll just tell them that you're tired from the travel and went to your room
---
Bianca: Mr. Achilles. Hi, it's been a while.
Achilles: Bianca, this is a surprise. Where's your brother?
Bianca, looking at Nico and Will running past: He got too tired and went straight to his room to rest.
Achilles: Oh, how unfortunate.
Nico and Will: *tip toe-ing past them but then encounters Cerby*
Cerby: *excited to see Nico*
Nico:
Will:
Nico: Down, boy.
---Later---
Bianca: What in our father's name happened?!?!?!
Nico: *panting* We ran into Cerby. He saw Will's sun globe and wanted to paly fetch.
Will: *panting* You're buying me a new one.
Bianca: I had to distract Mr. Achilles for a long time. You have any idea how much work that takes?
Nico: Just ask him how his relationship with Mr Patroclus is going. He'll talk about it for hours.

Hades: Nico, would you like to introduce your guest?
Nico: Uhm...
Will: *squeezes his hand*
Nico, looking at him and smiles: Papa, Mammina, this is my boyfriend, Will.
Will: Hello. It's an honor to meet the both of you *bows*
Persephone: Aw, Nico, he's adorable. He's like a little ball of sunshine.
Bianca: Yeah, he gets that a lot.
Hades: Well, William, I hope that you'll enjoy dinner with us.
Will: Looking forward to it, sir.
At dinner:
Persephone: Has he met Achilles yet?
Nico: No, we're trying to keep them away from each other
Hades: Good thinking.
