Party Parlor is a collaborative for all our fan-artists 🎨, fan-video makers 🎥 and fan-playlist crafters for the love of Penelope and Colin 🎶.
Fan-artists you will be the power players. Sign up for a topic or trope to display in your art (prompt ideas: it could be ice-cream 🍨 or yellow 💛 or turtles —only your imagination and the sky are the limits!) You'll have one week after signing up to sketch an idea. Please include a small summary. (Doesn't need to be perfect, just a concept.)
Based on the concepts, each fan-playlist or fan-video maker will choose and create an art form to match.
[Example: If the fan art is about ice cream, then the fan playlist must have songs about ice cream as well]
If there is a mismatch of artists to video and playlist creators or vice versa we will double up.
After the initial sketches are sent out, claims will take place. Details to follow.
There will be 2 check-ins during this event.
But of course, we don’t want to leave our writers out. Writers: once the official artwork/video/playlist collaboration is done, if you're feeling inspired by any of the creations we encourage you to work your fan fic magic! 😀

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. Don’t 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 you’ll 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 “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” 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 “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re 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 “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.
Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be 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 I’d come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.
EVERY TIME I SEE THIS I REBLOG BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!
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 you’re making a fist. That’ll 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)
If you are being followed, go to somewhere with high security like a jewellery store or a bar, if you can, and say what’s happening (the jewellery store and bar are best shots because they’re the most likely ones to believe you, the bar for obvious reasons and the jewellery store because there’s not likely to be a huge presence of toxic masculinity so you’ll be believed)
I hate it so much that i have to reblog this and that we still need this, but it’s so important!! Please everyone (yes also boys/men/enbys/genderfluids/everyone) stay safe out there!!
-if you’re walking alone w/ headphones in, either have one earbud out at all times or have the music/podcast/audiobook/whatever you’re 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 doesn’t live there, walk around the block until he leaves so he can’t figure out that you live there and so he can’t kidnap you
-if a man is groping you against your will, go for the balls. always go for the balls. It’ll 1) hurt like hell, and 2) shock him to the point where you can probably run away and get help.
1: if you’re reading a book with a large number of pages, you know, those BIG ONES, or with the hard cover, don’t leave it at home and never bring outside. I’m 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 don’t 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 “turn off” button and it will appear -sometimes you have to activate it before-
6:
I’m so happy to share these tips.
Don’t ignore pls it might save your of someone else’s life
But I hate that instead of telling boys and men not to rape and sexually harass women and girls we’re telling girls to avoid scenarios like these because it’s just inevitable that men are going to try to rape us.
So men reading this: Learn to respect women and their boundaries and understand consent. If a girl says no, she MEANS no, keep your fucking hands to yourself and never force a girl to have sex with you against your will. Whether that is by physical force, coercion, spiking drinks, taking advantage of her unconscious state, etc.
It’s on men to control themselves so that we women can be safe walking down the street at any hour of the day.
NOT women to protect themselves, lest hey get taken advantage of.
So yes to all of the above but PLEASE reblog THIS version too.
I saw this picture and immediately my mind went to dramione draco doesn’t know pregnancy trope after he finds out and they reconcile and he is just so excited that she is having his baby and she is so happy and relieved that he is happy about it and had to make it
“L’idée que tout écrivain écrit forcément sur lui-même et se peint dans ses livres est une des puérilités que le romantisme nous a léguées. Il n’est pas du tout exclu, au contraire, qu’un artiste s’intéresse d’abord aux autres, ou à son époque, ou à des mythes familiers. Si même il lui arrive de se mettre en scène, on peut tenir pour exceptionnel qu’il parle de ce qu’il est réellement. Les oeuvres d’un homme retracent souvent l’histoire de ses nostalgies ou de ses tentations, presque jamais sa propre histoire, surtout lorsqu’elles prétendent à être autobiographiques. Aucun homme n’a jamais osé se peindre tel qu’il est.”
