Oh yeah. Romania is 100% safe. Itās not like I havenāt gone to school for one whole fucking month because there are protests!
Romania is Safe :))
happy bisexual day to Apollo and Apollo only
4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.
5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger
6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights
7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)
That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving
8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.
Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time
girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.
guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis
(Iām an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)
Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.
E.g.
I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.
DO NOT SCROLL PAST
Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone
Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.
If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Donāt risk it. Your body knows.
If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but youāll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.
Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.
Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.
Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say āhey dad! Yep, Iām almost there, Iām sending you the route.ā outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.
If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say āBetty, oh my god, I havenāt seen you in so long!ā. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know youāre trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.
If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like āhey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If youād like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.ā This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when youāre in a crowded train and you notice harassment.
Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.
If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! Iāll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!

I made this google doc covering 14 different self defense tips and tricks. it was made on January 15th, 2020 so it was before I decided Iād come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.
i fucking hate this world. anyways R E B L O G
Just saw a video explaining why putting a key between each finger is more likely to hurt you than them (the keys will just get pushed back into your knuckles). A better way to hold them is to get your longest key and just clench your hand around it, like youāre making a fist. Thatāll give you a lot more force and means you can use them in more scenarios (if someone grabs you from behind, you can use the key this way)
Not only for girls and women but also for boys and men.
i feel obligated to reblog this.
I hate that we need these things, but this is so so so important, it can literally save someoneās life
How to tell if your drink has been spiked:
1. The colour of it has changed
2. Itās become cloudy-looking
3. There more bubbles in it than should be
4. The ice in it sinks
If you are being followed, go to somewhere with high security like a jewellery store or a bar, if you can, and say whatās happening (the jewellery store and bar are best shots because theyāre the most likely ones to believe you, the bar for obvious reasons and the jewellery store because thereās not likely to be a huge presence of toxic masculinity so youāll be believed)
I hate it so much that i have to reblog this and that we still need this, but itās so important!! Please everyone (yes also boys/men/enbys/genderfluids/everyone) stay safe out there!!
but I was never taught these things.
The first time I was groped, I was 10 years old. Do you feel sick yet? 10 years. What kind of fucker gropes a 10 y/o?
All I have learnt is to use my elbow or knee or fist or just duck and avoid contact. This post helped a lot, thanks.
It was the english teacher at my old school tho I did broke his nose and stabbed his stomach with a pen so
Also carry pointie / sharp or that which has a edge, it helps a lot, yk, just stab
-if youāre walking alone w/ headphones in, either have one earbud out at all times or have the music/podcast/audiobook/whatever youāre listening to on low and always listen for footsteps or other noises coming from behind you
-If there is a strange looking man in front of your building who doesnāt live there, walk around the block until he leaves so he canāt figure out that you live there and so he canāt kidnap you
-if a man is groping you against your will, go for the balls. always go for the balls. Itāll 1) hurt like hell, and 2) shock him to the point where you can probably run away and get help.
- carry pepper spray or some other type of weapon
As this site is full of readers,
1: if youāre reading a book with a large number of pages, you know, those BIG ONES, or with the hard cover, donāt leave it at home and never bring outside. Iām not saying to bring it everywhere, but if you are going to any possible dangerous places alone, bring them, in a purse or even by hand (to show it to everyone). Believe me, if you hit someone with it, it will hurt them!!
2: hairspray works just like pepper spray
3: if your being attacked, and you donāt have any pointed objects, neither training, put your fingers on the predators eyes and press it. With all your strength, it will leave them blind or disabled. Use it only if your life is in risk!
4:
5: the iPhones have a great setting that if you press it will call police, send them photos of your back and front cameras and send a message to the contacts you select saying your in danger; press 5times the āturn offā button and it will appear -sometimes you have to activate it before-
6:
Iām so happy to share these tips.
Donāt ignore pls it might save your of someone elseās life
truthfully, itās a shame that this is a problem in the first place.
thank you to everyone who gave tips, and please reblog! it may help someone in the long run, and maybe even save their life.
DO NOT SCROLL PAST
Really? I was taught to find someone i know quickly. you never know if that woman has a child she kidnapped and sheās taking you to
okay okay okay. making my BANGING return with a thought.
double life au??
right, so lester is like dr jekyll, and apollo is like mr hyde. lester isnāt a crazy doctor, maybe heās a demigod or something. it would be more jarring for him if he was a mortal.
anyway. apollo gets casted out of olympus, BUT he doesn't get his own body. instead, he lives in lester's body.
at first, lester hears a voice in his head. not the one heās used to, itās like... another voice talking to him? itās confusing ofc but heās fine.
(to explain how this works, itās like angelic possession in supernatural, sorta)
after a while, lester starts experiencing weird bullshit like doing his history homework and the voice talking about strange addition details. a few āback in those days i was a hotshot, eheheh, had a couple of loversā leaves lester thinking he finally lost it.
apollo isnāt allowed to reveal himself as a god because it would āshock mortalsā and ādrive the poor man to insanityā (bullshit, apollo thinks) but after a few ātechnically not breaking the rulesā lester finally knows about apollo.
lester thinks heās genuinely crazy.
Lester! I missed drawing him qwq
Also super sorry but didnāt had time to Upload to much because of school qwq
whenever i see the words 'the song of achilles' or 'lore olympus', i just internally cringe because of how badly those fandoms hate apollo. Like they're amazing (no hate), but they terrify me and i just fall into a depressed stage at how harshly he is criticized. Anyone relate? Ps tell me i'm not alone.
Same dudeā¦same
Door Three-Thirty-Six
These are the first three chapters of my Apollo gets therapy fic
Apollo finds his way into a therapy session. And despite telling himself not to, keeps showing up.
Chapter 1
Keep reading
TSAS singly handedly ruining the Trials of Apollo, is so fucking funny. It really shows how pointless these books series have been because ounce again it seems none of the characters actaully seem to keep the messages that they were taught or the core message of the story is ruined by the successor. PJO ending with the gods promising to be better is ruined by HOO which shows they didn't even attempt to keep their promises.
HOO ends with the message for them ounce again to treat demigods better and show respect to minor. You know what happens in Trials of Apollo it shows none of gods caring about their kids ounce again and showing no respect to the minor gods. Finally Trials of Apollo ends the with promise that Apollo would be a better parent and help demigods in need. So guess what TSAS does with all of Apollo character developement of becoming a better person.
They fucking decided it would be best to have him ignore his kid when he was going a quest to fucking tartarus when not a month ago in the story he promised to be a better parent. So all time used reading Trials of Apollo wasted because not a month later all of Apollo's character development goes the down the drain.
Just finished the trials of Apollo and I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT
These books were so different to me because they directly revolved around a topic Rick clearly wanted to touch - abuse. Specifically, familial abuse. Personally I think heād done it gracefully in a way that really sinks in for me now, but Iām not a victim of abuse and donāt pretend to understand the subject.
Regardless, I think the way Rick wrote Apollo, Lester, was absolute perfection. Thereās an art to writing a literal god in first person perspective, and have him be one of the most human characters in the entire franchise.
Lester STRUGGLES. And heās not perfect at all, he doesnāt even begin to understand everything at the start - not the world, not consequences, not the stakes and not the people around him. But fuck he learns, he learns the hard way, the only way, by doing. And itās not a linear journey either - between book 1 and his more or less lucid identity in book 5, he goes back and forth between learning, and relapsing to his old ways, and learning again, and trusting and understand and rising victorious in all the confusion. He doesnāt shy away from his emotions - he cries a lot, and gets frustrated, and laughs. He learns to feel for other people. But he also learns to heal himself. And he does it by helping others heal, too.
To me, this red thread tying the books together by a common serious subject, made the reading somehow more whole. I canāt explain it, but Apollo slowly verbalising (well, thinking), realising there are similarities between his relationship with Zeus to Megās relationship with Nero, was so satisfying. Although I feel like āsatisfyingā might be a bit of a harsh word. Mostly I felt proud of him. I /felt/ for him, so very much, for so long. Heās likeable because heās so human, and that includes both his silly and tragic sides, because these coexist within all of us. And I think he as a character encompassed that beautifully.
Reading that last book, expecting a showdown of sorts between Apollo and his father, and receiving a short conversation, an understanding, instead, was amazing. Because thatās Rickās way of showing us whatās important. No use trying to fix what we canāt, what isnāt our responsibility to fix, what makes us miserable. Humans have this natural ability to rise from their own disasters and forge out of them their own paths in life. And Apollo did just that. It took him time, but thatās how it goes for all of us. And instead of fighting Zeus, he chose happiness. He chose focusing on whatās important, his old hobbies, his friends.
In a way, Iām bittersweet- I wish he didnāt have to stay at Olympus. I wish he could spend as much time as heād like on earth. But the thing is, a god is what he /is/. But now, he understands for the first time that he gets to pick what kind of god he should be.
And he chose the human kind.
Rick:
Daily reminder that you are very special <3
Ok but this song has so much Lester vibe
