Guide to Tim Fics

Hi, I've gathered a list of common tropes in Tim Fics and then I'm gonna link to other posts that have a bunch of fics of that nature. Honestly doing this for my reference, so might as well let other people see it lol

Tim Travel - in which a post/during Red Robin, Tim, gets transported to a different dimension. Typically involves a happy loving batfam taking him in

Tim Joins The Batfam Early - In which Tim is a sad, lonely child, who typically bat-watches every night. Then finds his way to the Wayne’s

Tim Joins The Batfam Late - same gist as before, this usually involves Jason not dying, or just Tim for some reason not finding his way into Robin, so now someone (typically Red Hood) finds him and brings him into the fold.

The Bats Find Out - Typically post Red Robin, the Bats find out about all the shit that he did, or other stuff that’s happened to him. There isn't a lot of these, and typically there one-shots. Some overlap with the previous category, but some don't!

Tim and Damian - I separated this from fix-its because there's enough to make it its own category and also I like it. Very simple, Tim and Damian bond and learn to love each other. These are typically pretty short but really sweet!

TimKon/Young Justice - Fics that are focused outside the bats. That's pretty much it. Some of them are just TimKon, but inevitably have the others at least mentioned.

In-Universe AU - This sounds counter institutive. Basically any fics where they change one major event, or add a relationship, or some shit. This will also include any Reverse Robin AU's because there aren't enough Tim-centric ones to make its own category.

Random Tim-bits - just for some random stuff that doesn’t fall into any of these categories, mostly one shots

If you have any other categories let me know. Also if you have any fics to list, put them in the replies! Thanks <333 (don't forget to comment on the fics you read and tell them they did a good job!)

YouTube is fucking recommending video ideas to me with AI-generated titles and thumbnails as "inspiration"

Why would I work for months to create something unique that no other channel can do when I can let AI generate this bullshit? /s Seriously this is disgusting, I hate it here.

I don't need AI-generated ideas and thumbnails. I don't need algorithm slop. On my channel, I'm reviewing tumblr sexyman fan art in drag. On my channel, I'm sculpting wings out of wax. On my channel, I'm spending weeks making stained glass and canvas paintings for sets. It's rewarding. It's fun. I'm in the middle of crafting my most ambitious storytelling video yet. But YouTube thinks this AI shit is the shit I should make?

ALSO, whose art is YouTube using to generate these thumbnails? Is it OTHER peoples' thumbnails? Is it fan art? Is it frames from the show?

I'm not just annoyed, I'm insulted.
