New definition of gritty reboot: the story is exactly the same, but one main character has been replaced by Gritty.

Jane. All the dialogue about how she’s objectively the prettiest and sweetest sister with the most delicate manners and constitution and has trouble expressing her emotions especially when in love remain 100% unchanged.

Meanwhile, Jane “Gritty” Bennet is in the background of the shot in a 100% period-accurate dress, throwing Mr Collins through a window.

The responses to this post just keep getting better.

I had to draw it.

Definitely not my usual. I’ve never drawn so much as a Muppet lol

[copperbadge]

I want to frame this on my wall, holy shit. 

[Description: An illustration of the above-described situation; Gritty, in a black toque-style hat and strawberry-print empire-waisted dress, is making the peace sign. He stands next to a broken window, which is elegantly framed by yellow drapes with green trim.]

That is one of the nicest things anyone has said about my art.

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)

[bando--grand-scamyon]

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.

[gaylittlepieceofsh1t]

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

[uncleromeo]

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

[cryptidinks]

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

[witcheshaven]

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.

[whatchagonnadoabooouuutttit]

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

[anonymousmothman]

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

[deadlymodern]

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.

[goodgirl81]

If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll 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 I’d come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.

EVERY TIME I SEE THIS I REBLOG BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!

Park where you can see the car when you exit the building.

Park under lights.

Check your back seat BEFORE you get in the car.

Keep a pen in easy reach, a hidden weapon is better than none.

An umbrella can be opened and used to make your attacker jump back. It can also be used to block punches, much like a stick or sword.

Keep your chin up, eyes open, and ears perked when walking alone.

Get a rescue/hiking whistle. It will damage the ears of whoever you blow it at AND can be heard a mile away.

Pretend you are on your phone, and make statements like, “See you in ten”, “I’ll meet you there in a few minutes”, “I just went past ___ landmark”, and, things that make it clear you’ll be missed and/or to make it clear the people missing you could describe you easily to cops.

Keep your bag on one shoulder. That way if grabbed, you could easily drop it and run… You can also slide your backpack in front of you and drive forward like a war horse… Or, you can use it like a shield if being attacked.

Stay safe.

[theanishimori]

In some states where it’s illegal to carry mace, get wasp/hornet spray. They’re really easy to use – just point and push to shoot – and can reach several feet. Aim for the eyes so your attacker can’t pursue you. 

[frostedej]

Carry hard things in your bag/purse, as well as a cat laser toy. That little red light could save your life in a kidnapping situation. Hide it somewhere easy for you to grab from.

[cluegrrl]

Do not be ashamed, if you’re being followed in public, to walk into the nearest open store or restaurant and tell the person at the register that you’re being followed, and don’t feel safe. That way you have another pair of eyes, and someone backing up your story if the person stalking you hangs around or makes a problem, and you need to get the police involved. And – speaking as a Rape Crisis Counselor, this one is IMPORTANT – if you see someone in what looks like a harassing, or potentially domestic violence situation? FOLLOW HER LEAD WHEN/IF YOU OFFER TO HELP HER. You might be thinking to get her out of the immediate confrontation, but if she still has to go home to him, she’ll pay for your rescue later. If she meets your eye and says “It’s fine, it’s okay” then you need to LISTEN TO HER. Because she knows what she’s facing better than you, and you cannot rescue her before she is ready for it. You can make everything 100 times worse though. Especially if the arguing couple are black, and there’s a chance that police might get involved. Because we all know how that shit tends to play out these days, and you do not want to be the one to get someone killed by trying too hard to help.

[aqueous2]

Absolutely vital information to have if you live where the waters freeze over.

I especially appreciate this guy's commitment to actually showing the steps himself. That cold-shock response is a bitch and willingly subjecting himself to it couldn't have been fun.

[krazyrx]

Remember the 1-10-1 rule!

You have one minute to relax and calm your breathing during the cold shock response. Keep your head above water

Then 10 minutes to self rescue just like he did in the video before you generally would run out of energy.

And you have 1 hour before the hypothermia renders you unconscious. If you run out of energy before you can self rescue you want to rest your sleeves on the ice so they freeze there and you don't go underwater. Or you can put your elbows on the ice with your head in your hands.

The less you panic the more energy you have to self rescue

I personally find Pride and Prejudice inspirational because Mr Darcy is the most awkward social train wreck of a human being ever created, he’s in his thirties and still doesn’t know how to talk to girls. But he ends up marrying his crush, an extroverted and very intelligent ten despite her fully hating him for 70% of the book. I respect that

[medievalthymes]

some of you don’t watch pride and prejudice (2005) multiple times a year to cope with the fear that you’ll never find love and it shows
