Those who call themselves ugly don’t realize that someone out there thanks to the most beautiful person in their eyes

I wasn't the first person to think of this, I believe it was @riciart. I was inspired by them to make my own AU for this idea. I have a lot of lore planned out for this already and I should write this somewhere because it is all in my head. I'm also open to questions about this AU, also the name isn't set in stone, I might change it.
Do it!! It'll probably be great if. you want I can help you bounce ideas if you like.
I would love to see this in a fic
JD is branches bio father but JD didn't have him till after the band had a falling out. Like it was just them in the band they had the argument John left to go to the neverglad trail and a few a bit after finds out he has an egg in his hair like it could be from an ex back at the troll tree (my favorite option) or it could be like someone he met on his travels. He vows to raise branch better then his own parents and what he did to his brothers. He learned his lesson. Branch still meets kismet they are his best friends and together deside to start a band. Jd is in full support of his son and is their manager and make sure they don't make the same mistakes he did. The rest of kismet are like his kids As well. They travel around the world living life and kismet doing concerts. The other brothers have no idea that John has a kid and that said kid is in a famous band. Floyd and Bruce see like magazines and poster of the band and think that one of the members looks like someone from their family but never look in to it. On a day that kismet make JD rest and take a break he runs into Floyd. Floyd's like hi how you doing and they talk for a bit. JD is thinking of how to tell him that hes an uncle. When Floyd make a comment about kismet so jd just goes about that the lead is my kid your nephew. Jd starts to brag on how proud he is of branch and the rest of kismet. Floyd trys to convince jd to tell him meet branch. Branch knows he have uncles and that them and his dad had a falling out and a bit of why.
Sorry for the rambling I suck at writing but this is a concept that has been in my head the last few day
Branch's relationships with the Dnack Pack are some of my favorites because if you look at the first movie, the holiday special, and TBGO, it really tells a story. Branch by nature is a very skittish and shy character with a lot of heavy trauma and abandonment issues who hides his insecurity and feelings by being standoffish, sarcastic and holding everyone at arms length and in the first movie the Snack Pack would jsut consider him a bummer and make fun of him for it until they realize during the events that Branch... really wasn't as much of a grump and a loner as he pretended to be. We see in the holiday special that he either let the Snack Pack into his bunker at some point or they all felt comfortable enough with him to sneak in because they jumpscared him and even though his attempts to smile freaked them out at first they weren't making fun of him. And in TBGO, the entire series feels like Branch learning to open up and let his happier, more goofy, and nerdy side show and the Snack Pack in turn learning to accept Branch, differences and peculiarities and all and AAAAGH I just adore these weird little toy things that used to freak me out when I was a little girl before they turned them into a movie okay!?
You never really know how a person until you spend time with them. The other trolls learn that Branch has layers to his personality, and Branch learns to rely on others that aren't critters. Then the Snack Pack realizes how cute and precious he is and decides to protect him at all costs
I'd like to preface this by saying I'm incorporating tropes I've seen in other posts.

Jason has been a lot happier recently. His Pit Rage has been getting less and less frequent, he's cooking and coming over to the manor a lot more, and he even let Dick hug him last week without threatening bodily harm!
The rest of the batfam, while happy for him, are curious about the change. So one night at dinner they ask him what's up with him and why he's so happy recently. Surprisingly, instead of taking it the wrong way and getting mad Jason is eager to share.
Apparently, Jason has a boyfriend now. Yay!
He goes on and on about this civilian he met after stoping a cult who was trying to summon a deity and how he is this nerdy college kid who really likes space and how their civilian identies shared the same Gen Ed course so he made an effort to become friends. Turns out that nerdy space guy had caused the initial improvement in mood and his offer to go on a date to an incredibly diverse and well-stocked library had been the cherry on top.
The only thing is that Jason didn't want them stalking the guy and refered to him around the family exclusively as "Angel". Everyone thinks that's just a cute pet name he gave the guy as a way to both reference and distract the civilian from the cult ritual he was probably rescued from. Little do they know that it's actually because "Angel" was not a victim of the cult ritual but the summonee, that appeared in the form of a biblically accurate angel.
One day some supernatural entity decideds to attack Gotham and everyone is calling whoever they can think of for back-up. Batman calls Constantine, Nightwing calls Zatana, Red Robin and Robin are contacting the Justice League, and even Red Hood seems to call someone.
The situation is getting desperate. The JL is here but at most the can just slow the supernatural being down. Constantine and Zatana are still 20 minutes out and things are looking bad when another Eldritch Being spawns and seems to take down the threat in one move.
Everyone stands stunned as the being turns to them and in a booming voice exclaims "DON'T BE AFRAID. I WAS CALLED TO HELP". They all go through several emotions upon hearing those words. Where did this being come from? Is this a biblically accurate angel? Who called it here to help? Was it Zatana or maybe Constantine? Are they here yet? Upon looking around it is found that Zatana and Constantine are not here yet and the heroes get ready to engage this being carefully when a voice calls out
"Angel!"
Everyone whips their heads around to see Jason climbing over debris towards the Eldritch Being in front of them. The Batfam feels faint with a creeping realization and Superman swears he heard Batman's heart skip a beat for a second. Before anyone can ask Jason what he's doing the being shapeshifts into the much smaller form of a young fae-like creature with pointed ears, fangs, stark white hair, and vibrant green eyes floating in the air. He flys over to Jason before a flash of bright light leaves a young man deep black hair and frosty blue eyes in Jason's arms.
Jason turns to introduce his boyfriend to his family and the League only to find that Batman has fainted, a panicking JL, and a gobsmacked Zatana and Constantine have who've arrived in time to see the transformation. As Zatana and Constantine begin to freak out and prepare defensive magic Batman comes to and levels a scowl at Jason.
"Hood, I think you have some explaining to do."
Not my work Anime Yuri on ice If they really did this in an episode or so this would be funny as hell
I need more of this
Tim had met Dani and Dan months into dating Danny, when they were already deep enough in their relationship that meeting Danny’s… kids (wards? clones? complicated existential crises?) felt like a natural progression.
They were, for all intents and purposes, Danny’s, no matter how strange their origins were.
And Tim?
Tim adored them.
Dani had taken to him immediately. She was smart, resourceful, and had the kind of cunning that made Tim terrified for when she grew up. She was all wild energy and big grins, full of trouble and ready to recruit Tim into it. Which, well—he was a Bat. He might not have the same mischief-making instincts as her, but he knew how to scheme.
Danny had sighed the first time he caught them conspiring, giving Tim a deeply exasperated look as Dani snickered behind his back.
“You’re supposed to be the responsible one,” Danny grumbled, arms crossed.
Tim had only blinked at him. “Why would you assume that?”
Dan, on the other hand, was rougher, quieter. More hesitant in a way that made something in Tim’s chest ache. He was wary at first, slow to warm up to Tim in a way Dani wasn’t—but Tim understood. Dan had sharp edges, but Tim had spent enough time around Jason to know that just meant he needed patience.
Which was fine, because Tim had plenty of it.
Besides, it helped that they liked him. Dani loved that he didn’t snitch when she roped him into pulling pranks on Danny, giggling wildly when they switched out the sugar for salt and watched Danny spit out his morning coffee with distaste.
So he didn’t push. He let Dan take his time, let him get used to having Tim around. The turning point had been, funnily enough, when Dan asked Tim to teach him how to fight.
Danny had sighed about that, too, shooting Tim a pointed look that was probably supposed to convey Do not encourage him.
Tim had ignored it.
Because what was he supposed to do? Say no?
He wanted Dan to know how to fight. To know how to protect himself properly. It wasn’t like he was teaching the kid how to snap someone’s neck—he was teaching him good habits. Controlled movements. Defense. Dan needed that, and Tim was happy to provide it.
Danny could roll his eyes all he wanted, but he wasn’t stopping Tim.
Dan, predictably, thought Tim was the best after that—well, second best. Jason had somehow stolen first place. Tim wasn’t even mad about it. Dan would sit next to Jason with wide, fascinated eyes, soaking up his stories and nodding along to every dramatic retelling of a fight. (“And then I threw the guy through the car door—” “Did he live?” “Unfortunately.”)
Tim was fine with being second place. Really.
—
Tim had almost been caught with the ring twice.
The first time, Dani had nearly found it when she tackled him over the couch, scrambling over him with zero regard for personal space. If he hadn’t been fast in twisting out of her grip, the box would’ve gone flying across the room.
The second time, Dan had almost seen it when Tim went digging through his duffel. The box had nearly slipped into view when he yanked out a hoodie, and Tim had barely managed to shove it under his gear before Dan could get a good look.
But the third time?
Dani found it.
Because of course she did.
Tim had been distracted—exhausted from patrol, too caught up in the warmth of Danny’s hands pulling him in by the waist. He’d tossed his jacket onto the couch, thinking nothing of it.
Dani had been snooping.
He didn’t even realize until later. She didn’t say anything. She just gave him a look—one that was far too knowing for someone her age—but she didn’t mention it. She just tucked the ring back where she found it and let the subject drop.
For now.
But later, when the house was quiet and everyone else had gone to bed, she sat beside him on the couch, feet tucked under her, eyes flickering to him with something unreadable.
Then, in a casual voice, she asked, “Hey… can I call you Dad?”
Tim froze.
His breath caught, and something in his chest lurched.
He turned to her, eyes wide, trying to process what she just said—what she just asked—but before he could even begin to figure out how to respond, Dan, from where he was leaning against the arm of the couch, just shrugged.
“Yeah,” he muttered, gaze a little too pointedly not on Tim. “You’ve earned it, I guess.”
And Tim—Tim had to swallow past the sudden tightness in his throat, had to blink fast against the prickling behind his eyes. He cleared his throat, voice rough as he said, “Yeah. I think I’d like that.”
Dani grinned, throwing herself at him without hesitation. Tim huffed as he caught her, laughing as she clung to him like she was sure he wouldn’t let go.
Dan rolled his eyes. But his lips curled up, just slightly.
Tim had never been happier.

Game Night-DCxDP prompt
Tucker streams games every week on top of his tech reviews. He sometimes invites his friends to join.
The most popular guest is his friend Danny who has unique reactions to some games. Horror games tend to make him emotional.
[Slay the Princess]: *sobs* They so me fr! I know how it feels!
[FNAF]: That's what happened to me.
[Dead by Daylight]: So the killers are hot. What?! Someone had to say it!
[Little Nightmares]: Reminds me of my childhood.
[Fear and Hungar]: I feel a strong connection with this. Should I be concerned?
Tucker only lets Danny join during horror steams because he's hard to scare and is actually comforting to have around. Like scary dog privilege.
In one stream there was actually a break in and Danny wordlessly stood up and left the room after telling Tucker to keep playing. There was a lot of noise and Danny came back with a blood smear on his cheek and a bat.
Quick bat family it is 1:00 a.m. once again I want to know if anyone has read a story like this it is an itch that needs to be scratched but I can't find one
Okay so let's say identities are known and all that the Justice League know that the other Gotham vigilantes the bats and the birds or Batman's kids and they see the kids just kind of like bullying him and he just Sighs and does tired dad look and just kind of let them do that to him he doesn't care. I say one of the other members of the Justice League I'm kind of seeing like hal or Plastic Man( I read a recent story where Plastic Man was kind of an a****** so that's why I chose him) start making fun and bullying Bruce the Bat kids just whip around and start laying into them because they can see that stuff because that's their dad at the end of the day he loves them unconditionally and they love him but if anyone else disrespects him and talks to him like that they get pissed and they just start tearing down whoever dared try to bully Batman in front of them and let's say maybe like cyborg or Wally are there and they're just like oh you should not have done that you just opened a can of worms or a war on yourself. Just like they can bully each other like siblings do but if anyone else does it's on site and Bruce has to calm down his kids before they send whoever bullied him to Med Bay
So if anyone has something similar or anything like that let me know I can't find anything like this and it's an itch that is for scratched it's actually keeping me awake
Pidge: Hey Matt, what’s it called when you shoot someone on Halloween?
Matt, without looking up from his book: Trigger treating.
Pidge: No, it’s homicide.
Lance and Hunk: *cackling* “Trigger treating”.
