///// you are not running out of time.
Does anyone genuinely call their siblings sis, sister, little/big sis, bro, brother, little/big brother etc. as constantly as this appears to be portrayed in media? Iâm extremely sceptical. Now, affectionally addressing them by something like âslugâ, âtoadâ, âfoolâ, and âbitchâ, or even dare I say it, their gotdamn name, is, from my experience, so much more natural.Â
ok guys, reblog and put in the tag how you name your siblingsÂ
that "OKAY SO" before someone u love starts infodumping........ most blessed feeling in the world
Please reblog if you would be fine having a relationship WITHOUT sex for the sake of a sex-repulsed/ace partner

this dumb website is in need of some love, so reblog this if you like the person you reblogged it from!!!
I had a thought today, just about you. And I realised, staring at what was our fish, that you would never be satisfied. With all the money I made, the effort I put in, the food I would make. It was never enough for you. From the start, I pushed us forward. I wanted a future that you said you did too. And it wasn't enough. I fell apart, trying so hard for something for you. I never got it right. You were never satisfied. And it ruined us.
And I don't regret it at all. I dont miss a damn thing about you. I've done more in the time we've been apart than the years we were together. I've grown, more than I ever thought I would. I am myself, without the knowledge that I have to be you, too. Maybe I'm bitter, maybe ive just realised that this was inevitable no matter the promises. But now?
She makes promises with she keeps. She tells me I'm pretty, that im the most gorgeous person she's ever seen; a lie im slowly starting to believe. She cried when she finally moved forward just a step, cause shes been just as set back as me. She's learning she's growing and the difference of just being here to watch her grow is... Lovely.
And its returned. I tell her ive been offered a gm position, she gets so excited she hugs me. I joke about getting a cute little sports car(cause I need one!!) And she laughs when we test drive them.
So I thought about her today. And then I thought about you.
hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and itâs less likely to creak
socks are quieter than bare feet on tile/wood and for the love of god donât wear slippers/shoes if you can help it
climbing ON the furniture will disrupt the pattern of your footsteps and make it harder to hear where you are in the house
crawling will do the same and if you get caught crawling you can pretend you fellÂ
the floor near the wall can be really loud if the floorboards/carpet is old and not completely flush to the wall
do NOT attempt to use a rolling chair to travel without footsteps. they are extremely loud and hard to steer
Also. Breath with your mouth and not your nose. Your nose will whistle. Trust me. If you need to get into your fridge, jab your finger into the rubber part that seals the door closed and create a tiny airway. This will prevent the suction noise when you open the door. When drinking liquids (juice mostly), pour out your glass (or chug from the jug) and replace what you drank with water. If it was full enough in the beginning, no one will notice. DO NOT STEAL ALCOHOL. THEY WILL NOTICE IF ITâS WATERED DOWN. Bring a pillowcase for dried foods like cereal and granola. It helps to muffle the sound it makes when it pours.
If your house has snack packs (like gummy bears or crackers or chips), count them every day until you know the rhythm that they get consumed. (This took me a week and a half with my twin brother and sister). Then join the rhythm when you make your nightly visits. It will be that much harder to figure out it was you.
KEEP A TRASH BAG UNDER YOUR BED FOR WRAPPERS AND STUFF BUT DONT FORGET TO THROW IT OUT WHENEVER YOU CAN. BUGS YKNOW. Hope this helped.
I might have some useful info to add.
-a jar of peanut butter is long lasting and easy to hide under a bed or in a dresser drawer. I lived off of jars of peanut butter and boxes of saltine crackers I would buy on grocery trips with my mom.
-two words: Slipper Socks. These are the socks that have rubber designs on the bottom for grip. They make no noise, and also keep you steady on slicker surfaces like tile and wood. You can find them cheap at Walmart. They also keep your feet more protected if youâre outside.
-if youâre secure enough in your room to have a small food stash, make sure youâre not too obvious about it (duh) but also move its location every few days. I kept mine in a shoebox under my bed, then switched it to a backpack in my closet, then wedged between my bookshelf and wall, and I would cycle locations until i moved it permanently to a false-bottomed drawer I installed in my dresser when my father was gone for a weekend. I would NEVER put food directly into my stash after taking it. I would keep it in pockets of my clothes and between books until everyone went to sleep, then Iâd stock and stow my stash for the next few days.
-get a water bottle with a filter in it. I used to be able to reach my bathroom from my bedroom door down the hall using a huge step or minor jump/leap. If I was afraid of being caught at night, Iâd fill up the humidifier tank we kept under our sink while I took a short shower, and would refill my water that way. It might not be the best option, but I kept a small stockade of water under my bed for emergencies.
-if you can, smuggle your garbage out in your backpack or purse. Dispose of it at work/school. I got caught twice by carelessly throwing away packaging.
-if someone knows the situation youâre going through (close friend/partner/etc) see if thereâs a way for them to get food or other supplies to you at school or work or what private time you may get. A hidden first aid kit literally saved parts of my body before and I owe it to a close friend.
-try learning the buildingâs natural rhythm. The house I grew up in would creak and settle heavily every night for 3-5 minutes. That was my shot, and I had to be QUICK. I still got caught a few times, but learning the patterns in our floors and walls, when they creaked, WHERE they creaked, kept me going. Eventually I was sprinting in slipper socks to the kitchen and back in less than 90 seconds.
-if you have stairs, or live upstairs. Sit as you go down them one at a time, or climb up them like an animal. It keeps you low/out of lots of motion sight, and also can reduce noise and creaking by distributing weight over more than 1-2 steps.
-You can use common hand sanitizer to remove the stains certain snack foods leave behind (coughs cheeto fingers) and a dry toothbrush can help scrub the color off your tongue. If you can get powdered toothpaste or toothpaste tabs to keep on hand, it makes a huge difference in sneakiness.
-I donât recommend going for dried foods like granola or cereal unless you can sneak it to a secure place to get it. Itâs too loud, itâs a gamble every time for something with less caloric intake than itâs worth if you get caught. Of course, there are times when thatâs the only option!!
-if youâre taking milk, add water, but be SURE to shake/agitate the bottle to distribute the dairy fat with the water. I got into the habit of shaking milk jugs when I started sneaking it, and explained the habit as something I read in an old comic strip my father showed me. (Back when whole milk had a lot more cream fats and theyâd separate, so shaking it would redistribute the cream.) I still shake milk jugs to this day.
-if your windows open or donât have screens, eat leaning out an open window. Any food mess will be lost in the dirt. I was lucky I had bushes and birds outside that would catch my granola bar crumbs before anyone could notice.
-canned goods are tempting, but not worth it. It requires too many tools (can opener/strained sometimes/utensils/some need heat) stick to thinks like various nut butters (sunflower/peanut/almond), crackers, dried fruit, and easy to conceal food bars (nature valley/nutrigrain/etc.) dried ramen packets are good uncooked if you can stand the texture. Apple sauce and pudding cups are also easier to sneak and stash than one might think, and can be eaten with your fingers. The only canned foods I recommend are condensed soups and precooked pasta (spaghetti-oâs). You can easily mix them with a little bit of hot water from the tap and get something more sustaining than a handful of captain Crunch. The cans are cheap, sometimes recyclable, and drinking soup takes way less time than chewing solid food.
-if you menstruate, attempt to stash pads/tampons in a safe location. Sometimes shit happens. Pads can work as bandages in emergency situations. Sometimes shark week comes unexpectedly. If you can sneak a roll of toilet paper or paper towels, these are also life savers.
-plastic utensils from takeout containers can be hidden inside socks and will be worth their weight in gold when you least expect it. I bought myself a tiny plastic bowl from the dollar store and kept cheap trinkets in it on my desk so it didnât seem like a bowl I was eating out of. You could try this with something like a mason jar, which is also useful for drinking out of or storing water.
-if youâre eating a crunchy or solid food, try soaking it in water. Mushy food can be repulsive in texture, but I could clock the sound of someone eating a nature valley oat bar from like 6 miles away. Dunking it in water (or using a secret bowl+water) can reduce noise, and also eating time since you donât have to chew as much.
-keep a laundry bar or tide pen on you. Laundry bars are super useful, a little hard to find though. I washed a lot of stains out of my clothes with laundry bars in my bathroom sink as a kid. Not proud if it, but it kept me flying under the radar at school.
-clear rubber bands, plain twine or string, paper clips, and thumb tacks. Indescribably useful. I once rigged a system to open tricky cabinets and get objects from inside using two paper clips and a foot of plain string like a mock lasso system.
-if youâre pulling objects from tall cabinets, use your chest or stomach to cushion them. Let them fall into your torso and then into your hands cradled underneath. Not as loud, not as much grabbing, if someone sees it they can mistake it for it falling on you by the body language.
-get a bandana. Or four. Napkins, bandages, tool, and accessory all in one.
-get a tiny sewing kit. Iâm talking 3 needles and a spool of thread tiny. Scissors if you can sneak it. See things into your clothes. Make hidden pockets or compartments. Threadbanger on YouTube did a video a few years ago about sneaking things into music festivals using tiny clothing mods, but they may be useful in sneaking money or medicine.
-on the topic of sneaking money. donât take bills, take change. If your abusers donât meticulously count their nickels and pennies, theyâre an easy(ish) way to build up a tiny savings pool. I found nickels the least noticed coin I took, even more than pennies, and taking two every few nights from where theyâd be tossed on our countertop soon built up to a semi-reliable fund I passed off to someone to get me food for my stash without having to sneak it from the kitchen. As soon as I became âindependentâ in my food storage, I was subjected to much less scrutiny. I managed to build up a solid 1-2 week ration supply after hoarding change.
-you can tape SD cards to the inside of book dust covers(the part that folds inside the actual cover of the book), if you have a sewing kit or zipper on it inside the stuffing of your pillow (trim a corner, stuff it inside, stitch it closed) or (this is final resort) VERY CAREFULLY remove the covering from your outlet and tape it to the wall stud before replacing the casing. I kept mine inside part of my wooden bed frame that I hollowed out using, you guessed it, take out silverware knives and 4 nights without sleep.
-THE FLOOR IS LAVA WAS KEY TRAINING FOR ME AS A CHILD. I learned to take pillows with me, climb on furniture to disrupt my flow of movement, toss a pillow down, and use that to cushion any rattle our living room could give off as I crept to the kitchen from the side entrance so my momâs dog wouldnât bark or alert anyone. I highly suggest crawling around on all fours like some sort of beast to stay out of sight.
-can you run your house blindfolded?? If you canât. Maybe you should try to learn. I suffered some heavy eye traumas growing up and had a collective 3-4 months just IN THE DARK. Eyes bandaged, left alone. It was terrible, but damn if I couldnât navigate the whole place silently, without any visual cues. This helps a lot with the whole moving around in the dark thing, too. Listening is obviously key.
-if your parents start getting suspicious, or youâre suspicious theyâre getting suspicious, watch out for traps. String on the ground that gets shifted when you walk on it. Baby powder or flour left to track footprints or doors opening/closing. My dad was partial to wrapping a bungee cord around my doorknob and attaching it to the closet across the hallway. I wouldnât be able to open my door enough to get out, or if I did, I risked ruining the structural integrity of the wrappings he did, and he would notice.
-learn to tie some knots. Strong ones. Theyâll come in handy at one point or another.
-remember that youâre not totally alone. Thereâs people out there for you. Wanting to make everything better. You donât deserve whatâs happening, it isnât normal, and you will eventually find help. But staying safe is important, and you are important.
It upsets me that people might need to know these but I know it could really help someone by reblogging
ALWAYS REBLOG
Things that have helped me over the years:
â˘Keeping a $10 bill on the inside of my phone case for emergencies. My mother will search my wallet and bags but has not taken my phone case off when she takes my phone as of yet.
â˘stashing loose change I find in the soil of my potted plant. Very quiet hiding place for coins. All bills are quickly confiscated but coins I have managed to hold onto this way
â˘changing food stash locations constantly. A good stash Iâve found is buried in my mice seed mix. Small packages or granola bars can fit in there pretty easily and the wrappers are flushable (I know itâs bad to flush them but my trash is routinely searched)
⢠always deleting online traces in case of phone/computer search. This includes search history, forbidden apps, messages, pictures, notes, games, etc. I donât know how many times I have deleted the tumblr app during the day only to re download it late at night to use it. My phone and computer are constantly confiscated and gone through with a fine tooth comb. I delete anything I might possibly get in trouble for after I use it and re download it when I need it again. Donât delete all your browsing history though, they will notice if itâs suspiciously empty. Fill it with safe and approved stuff and remove anything you might get punished for.
â˘learning what each and every door in the house sounds like so I know who is where at all times without having to leave the room
â˘learning where those âsweet spotsâ are in the house where you can notice anyone coming before they can see you or what you are doing
â˘always having a pre-approved cover. I use books and preaching videos as covers. I can hide a phone in a book or quickly switch apps to the one playing the video if surprised or discovered.
⢠always being aware of âthe trailâ. If I tell a friend something who tells their sibling who tells my sibling who tells my mom I get punished so basically tell no one and it wonât come back to bite you. This includes talking about tv shows/movies that are forbidden, forbidden foods/drinks, activities, apps, games, friends, political views, etc. Express an opinion and itâs bound to reach someone you donât want it to.
â˘never take from your abuserâs personal stash of food or money. The family pantry is fair game to carefully pilfer from and so is loose change but never take from their personal purse/wallet, fridge, pantry, or stash. They WILL find out.
â˘beware of traps and manipulation . My mother will leave money and food unattended and wait for it to disappear. She will also act like she wants to do a good thing and help you out but in the end you will pay for it a hundred times over. Avoid this if at all possible.
⢠NEVER develop a false sense of security. I have made the mistake of not deleting an app (Pinterest) because there had been a few weeks between phone searches and I felt a little safer. I got caught and severely punished. ALWAYS COVER YOUR TRACKS. Donât get too confident in your methods, eventually they will find something. Make sure itâs something minor.
I just want to point out that when deleting apps, make sure to check that the app store you use doesnât record what was recently installed. I know that the Google Play Store does this and allows you to delete things from your history, but I donât know anything about Apple.
Apple does, in the purchased section of an account, so donât have a false sense of security for apple apps and always try to use websites with no cookies.
Apps for screeensharing to TVs (such as Samsungcast) also have search tools so if you clear your history you can also use that and make sure to clear it. Just donât play a video or it might end up showing on the TV screen.
I feel so sad that so many of you guys go through this all the time. Rebooting to spread the word.
Stay safe my lovelies
So, so unfortunately important. Reblogging because I wouldâve loved to have had seen this growing up - I figured most of it out on my own, of course, but through an amount of trial, error, and traumatic consequences no child should ever have to go through.
Adding a few tips on my own:
-Train yourself to breathe and walk as quietly as possible. Iâve learned it without even noticing as a child; I inhale and exhale a lot and that allows me to breathe a little every time, the process is soundless. When sick, breathe with your mouth. The slightest sound can be deadly.
As for walking, stay close to walls. Iâm basically walking like people who practice dance do (people often call me out for it) and it allows me to move quickly and unnoticed. Heck, it works so well that I can walk right in front of my parents without them even noticing.
-During family reunions, social event or moments when they are really focused on something (tv, book, etc), you may walk, or even âstealâ something right in front of their face. Be careful though, itâs not without risk, and youâll have a lot of trials before getting it right. Do not attempt it if the price of this trick is too high.
All you have to do is be careful of what they can see. They are facing one of your family member who is right next to them? This might be your chance. Donât enter their line of sight, or do it as little as possible, all you need is a hand to grab what you need anyway. Donât look at them while youâre doing it, act as natural as possible, donât rush. It works amazingly well in family reunion, as the fuss in constant. If the objet you want to grab make sounds (like a bag of chips) you got to be careful. Grab them at the edges, and attempt this only when you feel like itâs safe (your parent is focused on something else, is not facing you, thereâs a lot of noise, you think grabbing the object wonât make enough noise to get noticed, etc). Try to practice by âstealingâ some of your friends stuff, pretend that youâre just messing with them and return their stuff at the end of the practice.
Test your parents; at which point do they notice your presence? All parents are different, you just need to know where you can be cocky. That being said, wearing bright colors or having a keychain that makes sound is not a good idea.
-Try to test what âtricksâ work with your parents. For exemple, I learned that avoiding talking with my dad for a few day will allows me more freedom as to where and how far I can go (I needed to go on a reunion on an other city, and he allowed me to go on my own, while he doesnât want to let me buy groceries down our street most of the time). Avoiding talking to my mom have an other response though; she gets more negligent. Keep track of your little experiment, takes notes if possible, use your phone if they go through your stuff.
-Locking your stuff away wonât work, because theyâll try everything to force it open. Specially if itâs a diary. Creating codes might help you. For exemple, I write World, W ld. Capitals written with capitals, last two, three or four letters written above the first letter. You might need to guess some words if the note isnât recent, but putting fully written keyword will help you. Those keyword need to speak to you, and not to your parent, this way youâll be the only one able to read it.
Hope this helps.
My situation wasnât something I could feel out, as they were completely random in what they found acceptable and how I was punished.
I skipped class and didnât receive any punishment, but the next time I was caught was brutal.
Things that helped me were far between, but I have a few tricks that worked.
- Crying got me out of trouble often, once it even got me out of a beating for being 1 minute late home. This only worked because I never cried, so shocking them in some way like that could help.
- Theyâre right, locks donât work. You know what got my dad to stop making âmidnight visitsâ? Sleeping naked. I have NO idea why, but he stopped coming in after that.
- Layered clothing helps lessen the blows.
- If theyâre going off, figure out what helps best in the moment. Silence might make it worse, but crying might help. Unfortunately this is a trial and error system.
IF YOU HAVE TO RUN AWAY.
-Plan an exit strategy.
Where will you go? Donât tell ANYONE about it. Concerned friends can get you killed. If running into a forest for immediate escape, trees can help.
Donât sneak off after a fight. Itâs not worth it. Theyâll be expecting it.
Leave siblings. They might be able to convince the police you were hurting them and kidnapped them.
If you know a pet is going to die because of you leaving:
Practice a silent command for âquietâ for a dog. Bring a leash, extra collar, meat scraps or whatever can tide it over. A dog is going to want to return home. Dogs will also add extra protection if you have to go through the forest. If it barks prepare to run.
If you have a cat WITH a collar, any string will do as a leash. A carrier is slow and cumbersome. Cats are tough, so if it breaks free and runs off, you might not be able to get it back, so a tight grip is needed.
YOU HAVE LEFT AND ARE CONCERNED THEYâLL FIND YOU?
I ran into this issue. Itâs a debilitating fear.
Get yourself (if you like) a big scary ass dog. Abusers can punk out when faced with harm. I got a Shepherd and that dog would die for me.
Look for a place with a private driveway that canât easily be seen. I lived a minute away from them for a year and they never saw me.
You have a car that they recognize? Buy 20 cans of matte black spray paint, tape, and newspaper. New paint job to keep them guessing.
I understand why itâs hard, but I strongly suggest a protective order.
Survive until you can be free. Being broke and alone is better than this.
In case anyone who sees my blog needs this
iâm sad that i have to rb this but if any one of yâall need it
Dang, stay safe, loves
New superhero: Crime Man.
He stops crimes exclusively by comitting crimes. He out-crimes the criminals.
The Punisher does this and the crime is murder
The Punisher doesnât stop crime, he punishes criminals. Big difference. Crime Man is more proactive than that.
So what you really mean is like. A totalitarian government that profiles people and arrests them before they commit crimes (which is a crime)
No, itâs more like stopping a credit fraud from happening by comitting arson.
*A mugger threatening me with a knife* Give me your money! *Crimeman appearing from the darkness with a bigger knife* NO CRIMINAL! You give me YOUR money!
I love the efforts to get deeply analytical and political but op just shuts them down with no crime man does CRIME
BUT BETTER
He finds out someoneâs planning to rob the bank so he robs it first so there isnât any money left when they get there.Â
Armed robbery? Hold their family hostage until they deliver their guns in an unmarked bag behind a gas station
shirt and pants with horizontal black and white stripes
A black domino mask
A dark grey wool hat
a big sack with a dollar sign on it where he stores his gadgets
a yellow sash reading âCRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSSâ
I drew fanart
did I get it right?
Now thatâs a hero if Iâve ever seen one.
Check out this amazing Crime Man comic by @micaxiii
You do the crime, you get the crime.
The plan is working!
HE LOOKS LIKE THE QUOTEÂ âBe Gay Do Crimesâ
He is gay, and does crimes.
