The Sight of the Starry Night Makes Me Free

The wind fluttering about was crisp and fresh, and it provided a slight cool burn in John MacNamara’s throat as he breathed in. He had just finished smoking a cigarette—an unhealthy way he coped with his stress—as he gazed off of the balcony. The tall man winced as his brain reminded him of the most recent mission, the one where he had to enter the Black and White to face Wilbur Cross. The one where he had to force President Goodman out.

“Sir, what are you doing?” Xander questioned, tilting his head in confusion as John began throwing on a suit.

“We lost connection, obviously I need to go in and save him.”

“What? John, wait, you need to think this through—”

“The United States of America needs their president more than they need me. I’ll get him back.”

Those were his final words before he leapt through the portal. But even just getting Howard back was a challenge. John grimaced as he lit another cigarette, leaning against the railing.

“I’m sorry John, I fucked it up!” Howard had yelled through the void. The regret was evident in his voice.

“Don’t worry Mr. President, come on, let’s get you out of here,” John reassured, pulling the darker haired man behind him. A nearby cackle forced John to whip his head around, and his eyes widened as they met with…

“It’s too late John!” Wilbur Cross snarled. “Wiggly’s prophet has been chosen, and as soon as she has a doll, she will bring about his new birth!” John wanted to wipe that smirk off of the demented man’s face, but instead he turned and ran. Like a coward.

“There! The portal! You must go, Mr. President. Go now!” John yelled, trying to hide the fear that was lacing his voice, and shoved Howard towards the exit. Confusion washed over the president’s panicked expression.

“What about you?”

“Return is no longer an option for me. If we want to defeat Wiggly, we need to get rid of the prophet as well as the messenger. I know Wilbur’s weaknesses. It has to be me.” John explained as quickly as he could. He raised his right arm up in a salute. “It’s been an honor to serve.” He nodded when Howard saluted back, and watched as he crossed through the portal. Once he was certain that the other had made it back, he turned in search of Wilbur. If his hands were shaking, well, nobody needed to know.

“John?” Howard’s voice cut through the general’s thoughts, causing him to flinch. He put out his cigarette and turned to face the worried man in front of him.

“Is something the matter, Mr. President?” John questioned, putting on his mask of authority. Too many people looked towards him for answers, there was no way he was going to let someone see him with his defenses down.

“I told you, you can call me Howard,” he frowned, studying the posture of the blond man. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong.”

“So you typically stand outside on a balcony for,” he checked his watch, “two and a half hours?” Howard asked, concern growing more and more apparent. John couldn’t stand it, the facial expression mirroring too similarly to the one plaguing his mind, and he turned around. Running a hand through his hair in frustration, he closed his eyes.

“I’m just reflecting. There’s nothing to worry about,” John responded, feeling far away. They opened again to glance at the man brushing shoulders with him, who was looking up at the stars. They leaned against the railing in silence, until Howard spoke up.

“I don’t know how you do it. But God, I worry about you,” he said, locking with John’s eyes. John felt himself swallow nervously when those hazel eyes seemed to stare right through him. “How can you be so damn reckless? You sacrifice yourself for others all the time. Don’t you have any standards for yourself? Don’t you want to keep on living?” Howard questioned, serious. John looked back to the starry night surrounding them.

“Sacrifice or be sacrificed, those are your only choices when facing a greater evil,” he recited from the back of his mind. It was something he repeated to himself often, finding it better to save others rather than himself.

“Christ, John,” Howard scoffed in disbelief. “Can’t you take one moment to not play the hero? Some of us actually need you here.” And with that, he walked away. John turned to watch the other man go, but felt his stomach start to twist into knots.

“You—” John hesitated. “Are you mad at me, Mr. President?” He asked, despising the amount of vulnerability breaking through within his question. Howard turned around and shook his head.

“I’m not mad at you, but your actions infuriate me sometimes, General,” he responded honestly. Something must’ve shown on John’s face, because Howard continued. “You rush into danger just to prevent others from getting hurt, why? Because you care about them, right? But what you can’t seem to realize is that some of us care about you, too.” Howard started walking closer to John. “You think it’s better to sacrifice yourself, but all of your agents are prepared to lose their lives if that means success in their mission. And that’s what makes you a damn good leader. But what are they going to do if you’re gone? Xander wasn’t ready to take control after you came back from the Black and White. Trust me, when he wasn’t in the hospital watching over you, he was terrified. P.E.I.P. needs you, whether you want to admit it or not.” It felt like he was towering over John, even if there was only a single inch difference between the two of them. “So stop being so reckless, because when you came back covered in bruises and cuts, we were all scared. We were terrified when you passed out after coming through that portal. So stop acting like you don’t matter.” John just nodded his head, silently. Howard’s eyes widened, and he backed up. “I—John, I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. I’m so sorry,” he apologized, his eyes somehow being more apologetic than his pleading voice.

“I apologize for not being more considerate of everyone else’s emotions,” John said in a voice that sounded stronger than what he felt. “I’ll do my best to think of others before acting next time. I didn’t intend to have a disregard for your feelings, or anyone else’s.” Howard smiled, gratefully. He wrapped his arms around John, causing the blond to freeze. He let go quickly, and looked up at the stars.

“It really is a beautiful night,” he mumbled to himself. He glanced back at John. “I’ll let you go now. I’m sorry for interrupting your thoughts. Have a good night, John.”

“You too, Howard.” As the brunet walked away, John turned back to the stars, cursing under his breath. “Of all the things you could’ve thrown at me, it’s this? I suppose the universe really works in mysterious ways.”

[whizzvin-writes]

hi mod whizzer here (I mean who else would it be?)

guys I’m so distraught by the absolute lack of ANB content,,,,,, see I had listened to the original cast recording a couple of years ago, but then didn’t listen to the Encores! recording because I was afraid it would ruin the show for me. I adore Malcom Gets as Gordon. Chip Zien as Mr. Bungee was a gift from god herself. Anyways I listened to it and it’s actually!! Really good!! And my brain cells lined up thinking ‘people will have made content for it because the revival included Jonathan Groff!!!’ Apparently not. Anyways what I’m saying is that we need more content for ANB and I am fully prepared to take on this responsibility.

Also hi sorry for rambling here it just helps me feel better that y’all know I do things besides write lmfao

He’d Rather Be Sailing

The current state Gordon Schwinn was in was sadly, not a new one. The brunette was curled into a ball on the bed that would usually be shared with his boyfriend, Roger. Instead, Gordon was the only one at home for the week. He grimaced as he remembered the faux confidence he showcased when he convinced Roger that he would be fine when left alone. To speak honestly, the only reason Gordon said these things were because he had felt bad for how things went last time. Roger needed to take time to clear his head, but he had to end his trip sooner all because something was wrong.

Gordon could barely tell what he was doing until he could hear the ringing echo throughout their seemingly empty apartment. He counted each ring in his head, trying to keep the numbers in line. However, each time he reached five, he got lost, and more tears pricked his eyes. Gordon was shaking, losing the reasoning why he thought it was okay to call, to bother Roger. Ready for the disappointment of no answer, he turned around once more, hoping to fall asleep.

“Gordon?” Roger’s voice called through the phone. Gordon whipped around, and grabbed onto his phone.

“Roger?”

“You called me, remember? Is everything okay?” Roger questioned, softly. Gordon shoved his palms into his eyes, trying to stop the tears. He took a deep breath in, before answering.

“It’s… no, it’s not okay,” Gordon replied, broken. He felt his breathing rapidly increase, and his heart speed up. “Roger--”

“Hey hey, Gordo, listen to me--”

“Roger, please let me explain,” Gordon interrupted. He felt himself gripping onto his forearms in an attempt to ground himself. The other side of the line was silent, so he took it as his sign to continue. “I’m sorry for being a pain in the ass and calling you when you’re supposed to be on a trip that’s helping you relax. And you’ve been gone long enough to have at least a day but…,” Gordon bit onto his lower lip. “Could you come home? It’s just… I’m scared. It’s getting bad again, and I don’t know what to do,” Gordon explained, with ‘it’ being his anxiety spirals. “I know, it’s stupid of me. I just can’t help but think that something is wrong and I can’t go talk to Rhoda because I can’t even finish the stupid lilypad song for Mr. Bungee, not that it matters if I have fluid in my brain again.” Gordon tried to ignore his mind picturing the worried look that was likely on Roger’s face, causing another wave of dizziness to crash into him. “I mean as you’ve said, nothing’s really wrong, but Roger I’m scared, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. If something’s wrong, something worse, then I want to have been able to talk to you.”

“Gordon,” Roger started. Gordon could feel something twist in his gut from the seriosity and worry that made itself apparent in his lover’s voice.

“Roger, wait, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-- I shouldn’t have called. This is what Dr. Weisenbachfeld talked about, I’m just having stupid fears, right? Nothing is wrong, except now I’m making you worry over me,” Gordon rambled, feeling the room begin to spin. “I’m sorry, you can just ignore this whole thing. I’ll just ha--”

“Gordon, listen to me,” Roger cut in, more serious this time. Gordon felt his nails begin to pinch into the skin. “It’s okay to have set backs. That whole situation… god, it was a lot. I can’t imagine what it was like for you, but you really scared us Gordo. I was terrified that I’d lost you.” Gordon could barely hear the sound of Roger crying, and he felt his throat close up. “Do you need me back home?” This was it. The deciding factor. Gordon closed his eyes.

“Could you? Please?”

“Of course. I’ll be on my way.”

[turing-tested]

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 it’s less likely to creak

[covid-69]

socks are quieter than bare feet on tile/wood and for the love of god don’t 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 fell 

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

[thegoodlion]

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 IT’S 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.

[silenthill]

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 you’re outside.

-if you’re secure enough in your room to have a small food stash, make sure you’re 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 I’d 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, I’d 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 you’re going through (close friend/partner/etc) see if there’s 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 building’s 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 don’t recommend going for dried foods like granola or cereal unless you can sneak it to a secure place to get it. It’s too loud, it’s a gamble every time for something with less caloric intake than it’s worth if you get caught. Of course, there are times when that’s the only option!!

-if you’re 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 they’d separate, so shaking it would redistribute the cream.) I still shake milk jugs to this day.

-if your windows open or don’t 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-o’s). 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 didn’t 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 you’re 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 don’t 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 you’re 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. I’m 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. don’t take bills, take change. If your abusers don’t meticulously count their nickels and pennies, they’re 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 they’d 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 “independent” 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 mom’s dog wouldn’t 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 can’t. 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 couldn’t 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 you’re suspicious they’re 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 wouldn’t 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. They’ll come in handy at one point or another.

-remember that you’re not totally alone. There’s people out there for you. Wanting to make everything better. You don’t deserve what’s happening, it isn’t 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

[minty-marshmallow7]

ALWAYS REBLOG

[thnksfrthmania]

Things that have helped me over the years:

•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.

•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

•changing food stash locations constantly. A good stash I’ve 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 it’s 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 don’t 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. Don’t delete all your browsing history though, they will notice if it’s suspiciously empty. Fill it with safe and approved stuff and remove anything you might get punished for.

•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

•learning where those ‘sweet spots’ are in the house where you can notice anyone coming before they can see you or what you are doing

•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 ‘the trail’. 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 won’t 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 it’s bound to reach someone you don’t want it to.

•never take from your abuser’s 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.

•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. Don’t get too confident in your methods, eventually they will find something. Make sure it’s something minor.

[nonbinary-hawke-deactivated2021]

I just want to point out that when deleting apps, make sure to check that the app store you use doesn’t 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 don’t know anything about Apple.

[holyshotpost]

Apple does, in the purchased section of an account, so don’t 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 don’t play a video or it might end up showing on the TV screen.

[postmortem-depression]

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

[alpine-insurrection]

So, so unfortunately important. Reblogging because I would’ve 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.

[rozanov1221]

-if your bedroom door was anything like mine, there is a large enough gap from the floor to the bottom of the door that anytime I got out of bed or walked around the room, the door would jangle. Try putting a small but heavy object flush against the door.

-bring a large cup to pee in when it is not safe for you to leave your room or space. be sure to sneak it down a drain as soon as possible.

-other foods to stash away include trail mix, breakfast bars, fruits and veggies. a couple slices of bread and cheese aren’t as easily missed either.

-i have had luck taping paper money to the underside of our rug.

-be aware that you will likely carry the weight of this time with you for a long while. most of my nightmares still take place in my childhood home, where i haven’t lived in over five years.

-but above all else, this time won’t last forever. you will make it out. i’ve got faith in you.

[five-chaotic-beans]

Hey @mrsmamarhodey idk if you’ve seen this but it’s good advice? I hate that anyone would have to go through this but I feel it may help Honey? ~ Foxy

Bee I will protect you with everything. ~ A

[mrsmamarhodey]

For all of my kids in unsafe home situations. I love you, be safe.

[rwagzwriting]

Also, for those of you in situations where you are not believed: as tempting as it is do NOT try and prove it with your phone. Especially if they search it. Please, please don’t do that. Find another way if you absolutely must prove the mistreatment.

-Avoid plastic and paper. They russle a lot, especially when you’re trying to be quiet. As stated above pillowcases are a godsend.

-If you can access the kitchen during the day (and not get caught doing this) move things you might need, granola on the shelf you can only just barely reach? Pull one bar out and slip it to the lowest shelf in the whole kitchen. Put it somewhere no one will check.

-The bottom of a trash can is NOT a good hiding spot. Tempting I know. I’ve hidden a secret stash under a trash bag. Played it off a few times as being a good kid and taking out the trash. But you would have to be the one to always take it out if you did this. Always. You can’t rely on ‘probablies’.

-Self aid. Go to your school nurse and ask for Band-Aids. School computer lab have alcohol pads so you can clean off the mouse? Take some. They will hurt and burn but a clean wound is so much better than an infected one.

-For those of you with allergies to the Staples (peanut butter, bread, cheese, the like) Beans are your new best friend. They suck but hey, they work.

-AVOID SWEETS. This sucks I know. But sweets leave more behind than a chocolate colored tongue, including a sweetened breath (I got busted so badly once even after scrubbing my tongue.)

And finally,

-Find people you can talk to. My messages are always open, @mrsmamarhodey is here for people as well, and many other blogs will listen. Even if there is nothing else we can do. We will listen. We will believe you. We will be there for you in what ways we can. Please, be safe. Stay alive.

[song-of-fairies]

I can’t believe that there are actually kids who are forced to live like this. It makes me so upset. I am now very concerned about the people on this site. Please, all of you, stay safe.

[momokiiicos]

there are things in the list that i personally also have to do, some i don’t have to, and tips i could definitely take for the unknown future. anyways, reblogging this in hopes that it could offer a chance for some of you to stay at least a bit safer. remember, we’re all fighting this together

[obligatory-name-change]

oh, god.

[phantomhive-blue-deactivated201]

I know it’s the log-off protest but just before I left the app I saw this.

[chemicaaaaaal]

This was a pretty helpful post, but i do hope none of my followers need this.. 

[pyriteplates]

can i adopt you guys???? nobody should have to go through this, and it breaks my heart :/

just know that it WILL get better. maybe not now, maybe not for years to come but this will not last forever. ily ♥

[louanaisana]

I always kept a plastic container with a lid to catch blood or any other fluid when it wasn’t safe to go to the bathroom to properly wash up. I hid it in an old backpack in the closet and cleaned it whenever the coast was clear

Most obvious hiding places are in the closet, under the bed, in the bottom of drawers and under rugs.

You can tape small items such as a metro card, prepaid phone, plastic bag of money, birth control or other medications, etc under a desk or even better: open the top drawer of your dresser and tape the item to the bottom of the dresser top. Make sure you can open and close it securely without jarring the item free.

You can also hide bills in an old DVD case if you are 100% SURE no one will open it.

If you can get your hands on some good concealer, use it to hide scars and bruises. Abusers will try to isolate you even more if you are a walking display of evidence. Don’t give them any excuse to not let you go to school.

On this same note, avoid making drastic changes to your appearance (dramatic change to hair cut/dye, tattoos or piercings or wearing any makeup/accessory/clothing that might be deemed “different” for you) Your abuser may perceive this as you acting out or seeking attention, and they do not want you to receive any kind of attention as it may give you an outlet to expose what is happening at home.

Don’t write things in codes that are obviously codes. Your abuser will not like this if they find it and you will be punished or forced to reveal the code but most likely both. If you can, make a code that would look like something else if found by someone. For example: If hiding say, your email password so you won’t forget, make a list of things beginning with each letter of the password. Draw pictures of your passwords. (Ex. Draw 4 red dogs, your password is RedDog4.)

Evernote is a great way to hide a digital diary/notebook/photos/contacts that you can delete from your device quickly before a phone search. If you fear you wont have time to delete before a search there is an option to hide your private notebooks so that you can only find them by searching their name and load up some class notes so if your abuser asks about the app you can say it’s for school.

This is a bit expensive but if you can manage it use an external hardrive for anything on your computer your abuser wouldn’t approve of, from photos and videos to games to creative and programming software, etc.

I had a friend whose dad didn’t let her talk to boys at all period so if she ever had a group project and the boys would try to text her she assigned them all feminine names in her contact list (Ex Louis became Louise etc) so she could still save their number.

[ownerofidaho]

Thank you so much for this.

[anatrash17]

This doesn’t really match my blog theme but it doesn’t matter. I have some things to add:

To walk completely silently, even barefoot, start on the outside of your foot and roll off your big toe. This takes practice though. Your bare feet will also be quieter if you have calluses on them, so you want to walk barefoot as much as possible.

One thing I did was getting well acquainted with the woods. If I needed to avoid people and couldn’t hide in my room, (the door doesn’t have a lock and the consequences would be SO BAD if I blocked it with something), I grab my bag, and try to avoid them + walk silently as I walked outside and hid deep in the woods where they couldn’t find me.

Never bring your phone (or any electronics) if you choose to escape to a friend’s house/the woods/etc. You don’t know what apps they hid on there, which could track your location.

When in the woods, I would bury my trash so if a family member decides to explore the woods one day/was actively trying to find where I kept hiding, they wouldn’t find traces.

About that bag I mentioned. I risked getting caught for this. I have it in my closet with the other bags so it wasn’t suspicious, but if I got the feeling they were suspicious about me, I hid all the stuff in the bag in different places temporarily. In the bag I keep a bottle of 90% isopropyl alcohol (disinfectant) that my aunt gave me as a joke, a small sewing kit (needle, string, scissors) that I stole the components of from my mom’s room, a knife that I also stole from my mom, and some granola bars.

You can hide things in boxes that appear to be sealed on your shelves. Choose a side, use the corner of your nail, or a small knife if you have one, to slit 3 edges of the plasic on the box on your chosen side. Carefully side the box open so as to not tear the plastic. If there is space, hide your item(s) in the space. If not, take some of the contents out and hide them elsewhere* until you can dispose of them where they won’t find them. Arrange the flap of plastic so it lines up properly (if box is cardboard or similar you can lick the edge of the plastic and place it down, it will stick moderately well and the fact it isn’t in tact will be less noticeable) and put box on shelf so that the cut side is against the back. (I have many time in the past taken a “sealed” box of playing cards and take the right amount of cards out so that after putting whatever I want in, it would weigh the same as a normal box of playing cards. This way if they pulled things off the self, unless they examined the playing card box carefully, it was unlikely that they would notice)

*if you have a coat/jacket with a liner, you can put holes in your pockets and stitch the liner to the jacket at the bottom so things you put in there will be at the bottom and it will seem like your pockets are empty. Don’t put anything bulky or potentially loud in, or your trick will be exposed immediately. Works great for papers though, and it’s one of the only ways to transport plastic wrappers without being loud. Not coins though.

Learn how to remove the screen from your window

Any social media or other restricted thing or anything they could use to stalk me if they found out I had it I use web for, my accounts are under different fake names with different email address I created with different fake names just for them, and my passwords are all long, secure, and MEMORIZED. And I delete my search history of any of those particular things.

I know how to give myself stitches. This has come in handy.

Leather = low grade armor. Wear it whenever you can. Then you can take a punch without it being quite so bad.

There’s a gate at the bottom of the stairs at my house that not only creaks, but the latch is LOUD. I climbed over the railing near the bottom instead, and then walked down the outsides of the last couple of steps.

How to climb over a railing silently: put hands on railing, swing one leg over so you’re sitting as if on a horse, and then carefully slide your already over leg down so it is touching the outside of the step and at the same time you swing your other leg over and carefully place that foot down.

If you close a door while holding the handle turned, like how you would if you were opening it, and use your other hand to guide it so it doesn’t hit the door frame, instead lining it up exactly where the latch needs to go, and then slowly rotate the handle back, it is near silent.

A fluffy sock jammed in the bottom handle-side corner of the door can keep the door from making noise as you walk around your room at night.

Hide things inside your pillows. Not just your pillow cases, but the pillows themselves. A lot of them have zippers where you can access the fluff, and you can hide things in the fluff. Stuffed animals sometimes have this too.

Semi-sheer, loose layers will be a lot less hellish and a lot less suspicious in warm weather but can still hide most older cuts/scars that are starting to become less garishly red.

If you close your eyes for 30 seconds before trying to navigate the dark your eyes will adjust and you will be able to see much better.

To anyone who needs any of the advice above or in similar posts: Good luck, stay safe, and remember that one day this will be over and you will be safe. I know it’s tough but keep going. If you ever need to talk, I’m here.

[cokezerotokes]

I absolutely wept when I read this. I remember being a kid and living at home, having to do most of these things to keep myself safe and alive. I’m so sorry that their are so many of you who are going through this. If this is something you’re going through and you just want someone to talk to about it all my inbox is always open. From one survivor to another.

[dracogotgame]

I am so, so sorry.

[ipaniceverywherenotjustthedisco]

i know ive reblogged this countless times, but this has some really important additions, please stay safe guys <3

[togshitpost]

I know this is not ToG related, but, if this can help …

[genderfluid-and-confuzled]

learn to sew,if you can do it well you can open up stuffed animals and fill them with whatever as long as it’s small and not likley to be notice

if you never turn a fan on you can tape ska stuff to the top of it, idk if it will hold if the fan turns on

if you have a trusted friend have them store stuff in their locker/get a lock and put it on an unused locker that way even if they know your locker they can’t get to your stuff

Taping money under doors and cabinets works as well. And if you need to talk I’m here.

[spacingout]

If you need to get things delivered, have them sent to a trusted friends house and find a time to get it from them.

If you work, when you have a day off, pretend you are going to work. It keeps you away from the house for a bit, even if you are just sitting in the workplace parking lot.

“Join” afterschool clubs of events. (Say you are in them but make sure someone in it can vouch for you). I often say I am saying afterschool for band or to study in the library to stay out of the house for a while.

If you can, keep your room messier. If your room is neat and orderly, it makes it easier for someone to go through your things, but if it is messy, there will be too much clutter for them to find something, or it will distract them from finding what they are looking for.

Taking something to the back corner of a dresser drawer filled with clothes work well as a hiding spot. Tape some money or bus tickets and put your clothes on top. No one will know its there unless they take the clothes out.

If youre like me and read a lot, you can stick important papers or money even into the middle of a book, and put said book on a back shelf. Or even put them in a school textbook.

I have a lot of art supplies. Like I have bags and tins of pencils, oil pastels and paints everywhere. You can hide some smaller things in said bags or tins. Ive put money, bus tickets, notes, and a flashdrive. Make sure it is towards the bottom that way if it gets opened its not obviously visible.

If you need to get rid of something ‘incriminating’, go through some stuff in your room that you can get rid of, and then act as if you are taking it to the trash or the goodwill.

If you ever text with friends about things that happen, I know on apple you can delete the messages, delete the chat you were messaging in, and/or have the person you were messaging spam with some memes.

[whizzvin-writes]

Be careful if you decide to tell anyone irl. Trust me, this can seriously bite you in the ass if you tell the wrong person.

When it’s getting really bad, try to have your friend invite you over in a way where it doesn’t sound like it was your idea. Ex: have them/their parent text them like “Hey, it’s *insert friends name or even friends family member names* birthday, *friend* doesn’t want to be left alone, could they come over for a while?”

If you have siblings going through the same thing, set up a system. For example, my brother is the oldest and is allowed to stay up latest. He texts us whenever they go to sleep (us kids sleep upstairs, they sleep downstairs), and he can tell whether it’s a deep sleep or not. My sister stores food in a fake drawer at her desk. Set up a system, don’t rat each other out.

I have multiple Instagram accounts for different things. She knows about two of them. As soon as I made the others, I blocked her, any family, mutual followers, etc. They could’ve been suggested to her to follow. Memorize your passwords, log out as soon as you’re done. If you can, use the private mode on your phone (I have an iPhone, I don’t know for anyone else) when using google. I’ve made multiple google accounts with fake names, birthdays, etc. to not get caught.

Become a good liar. Tell your friends who your parents may go to for fact checking the fake story, they don’t need to know it’s fake. Just say “oh if my mom asks where I was, I was _____. Sometimes she doesn’t believe me so she asks people to make sure I’m safe.” This way people aren’t onto you, because sometimes getting involved is worse.

If you have any tests or exams (or even plain homework) that you had just finished, say that you didn’t do as well as you hoped, and that the teacher wants to stay after school with you to help. I use this for band, and it works as long as you put in extra effort for those specific classes. If you make it sound like the teacher was the one who suggested it, they usually won’t disagree because they don’t want the teacher on the radar.

Stay safe, I’m here for all of you.
