ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

Some actual safety tips for teenagers:

1. Have proof they're a teenager first. More than just a picture, have a video call with them.

2. If you want to meet up with them, have your parents or a trusted adult come with you. Even if they are a proven teenager, its still good to have supervision in case any issues happen.

3. If you are talking to an adult, and they start being sexual in any way, you run the fuck away. It doesn't matter if they're 40 or 20. An adult inherently has a power dynamic that teenagers do not. And its up to the adult to act responsible about it. There's exceptions of course, if you're 16 and dating an 18 year old, that's not a problem, we're not talking about that.

4. Being in a server with adults or ran by adults is not inherently bad. Talking to adults is not inherently a problem, and will likely happen in any number of Discord servers. It is only an issue when they are acting sexual and show predatory behavior.

5. Look out for grooming behavior. It can be difficult, because at first it seems like innocuous behavior, like complimenting or giving gifts. Especially if you feel lonely and have low self esteem. And groomers actively target people like that.

If they start trying to isolate you, talk sexual with you, state they depend on you for emotional needs, blame you for their own actions, try to be secretive about the relationship- Then you need to talk to people you trust, block the perpetrator, and call the police on them.

6. If this does happen to you, remember this: It is not your fault. Even if you didn't listen to a single thing listed here, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the adults who knew better, and didn't care. It's not your fault.

To my followers: if any of you guys are underaged, please be very VERY careful on here, and don’t fall for any of the tricks the groomer would use on you, just block them and report them.

Also watch out for this phrase:

"you're so mature for your age"

Loving the idea of the batbros being so overly protective of each other especially Tim. specifically when he starts dating and the idea of him having sex or god forbid KISSING someone comes up. (As if he hasn't gone through like half of the young justice team) They are less than okay with it all..

Tim: Bruce I want to invite kon over for dinner is that okay?

Bruce: that's fine but is there any particular reason you're asking me instead of him just showing up like usual?

Tim: be wants a more formal 'meet the parents' dinner.

Bruce: oh? So you're dating?

Tim: ya, for a couple months now.

Bruce: well that's great I'm happy fo-

Jason from across the cave: WHAT?!?!

Later that night at dinner

Jason, and dick staring daggers at kon

Bruce, surprisingly the most calm about all of this: so, how did this relationship come about?

Kon: it kinda just happened I think. We both liked each other for a while

Tim: ya I don't think we realized until the spin the bottle game tho

Dick*MAJOR SPIT TAKE*

Jason: YOU DEFILED MY BROTHER??!?

Kon, sweating, crying, throwing up:

Damian with his phone out: theres kryptonite in the second cabinet Todd!!!

There is now a video circulating of Bruce Wayne's kids attacking Lex Luthor's son and it creates such a huge scandal that in order to calm things down Kon and Tim have to announce their relationship so the public doesn't think these billionaires'families are going to kill each other. They get labeled as the romeo and Juliette of gotham/metropolis

I think Jason would be more upset about the Romeo and Juliette remark than TimKon being together

As a literature expert, he knows it’s about two teenagers who get married and die because of stupid miscommunication (while also taking down a few other people)

Jason sees this and immediately yearns for the grave. He's so down with these horny ass teenagers. First, they date, then they Base their relationship off a story which romanticises the idea of two teenagers getting married and dying because of miscommunication. It's infuriating and part of the reason Tim does it. He likes the reaction.

Who's Romeo and who's Juliet?

Kon is Romeo and Tim is Juliette obviously.

I like the idea that they play into the joke SO HARD. Tim is a 17yr old CEO who needs a little fun every now and again, and Kon just likes to make Tim happy and cause a few migraines for lex when it's convenient for him.

All their posts have some line from Shakespeare and they are constantly posting stories and status updates about how their families are separating them. It doesn't go well for either Luthor or Wayne because now everyone is yelling at them to give their blessing before the boys decide to recreate the final scene. Lex couldn't care less if it weren't for the fact that him being labeled as a homophobe is bad for publicity. Meanwhile Bruce is sitting in his office absolutely losing it.

Clark is honestly fine with the whole thing, he thinks it'll blow over and is mostly just happy for Kon and Tim (not to say this didn't freak the fuck outta him when he saw the publicity around it but he got over it pretty quickly)

Lois on the other hand finds this all to be histarical so she took up the celebrity drama section of the daily planet SPACIFICALLY for them. She loves to hear about Bruce slowly going grey from the headlines.

"Billionaire BRUCE WAYNE and sons kick Luthor son Konner Luthor out of Wayne Mannar! Alienist? Homophobic? Anti meta?"

"Luthor and Wayne heirs caught behind a Dennys! Is this what young love must resort to?"

(I'm bad at being creative with headlines so PLEASE REBLOG WITH BETTER ONES)

@ LexLuthor

Konner I am taking away your Twitter privileges.

@ BruceWayne

Tim please get offline, this is not very healthy.

@TimothyDrakeWayne

BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM!

@Kon-ElLuthorKent

Ya daddy he loves me 🥺

Give me an accidental drunk Konbern marriage au where tim and Bernard and kon get drunk in Vegas and when they wake up they realize that Konner got married and they think that surely it must be Tim who he married. But no. It was Bernard. Bernard and kon got married drunkenly in vegas.

Fun idea, Bernard and Tim were there together and Kon was there separately and Bernard accidentally proposed to the wrong guy while drunk and Kon thought it was Tim proposing and Tim was too shit faced to even realizing Bernard was proposing. He didn't even realize he was at a wedding and witnessing his BSF and bf getting married. When they got back to the hotel Bernard wakes up and sees the ring and freaks out because he didn't plan for this and Tim wakes up confused and hungover ASF and without a ring. They panic trying to figure out who Bernard married and then see Kon stumble out of the bathroom with a ring in his finger.

The marriage certificate says Bernard and Konner Dowd because Konner takes his spouses name. I don't make the rules he just does. Kon is a housewife at heart and I will die on this hill.

Jason, to himself: If I can catch Tim off guard when he comes back from patrol he'll confess about breaking my favourite Wonder Woman's mug

Jason, as Tim wanders in: Got anything to confess??

Tim, very very high off Gotham Harbor fumes: Ra's pickled my spleen.

Jason: I don’t give a shit (he does). Why did you break my wonder woman mug??

Tim, in tears: WONDER WOMAN GOT MUGGED???

Jason: NO! MY MUG TIM. WHY. DID. YOU. BREAK. MY. MUG.

Tim: WHY ARE YOU MUGGING ME??

Jason: ....ya know what forget it. Just give me forty bucks.

Tim, High as a kite but is still a younger sibling: *hands Jason monopoly money*
