Fighter: I tend to prefer 50 Shades of underdark Bard: aughh, I didn’t need to see a duergar in that way. Monk: 50 shades of underdark, the new mind flayer edition
(Needless to say, our Wizard was groaning in the background and very much unamused at the choice of books that the rest of the party seemed to like.)
aw :’)
my favorite thing is when you pick up an animal and you look them in the eyes and you can tell nothings going on behind them. you look at them and theres just elevator music. stupid animals really are like the fucking best, the lights are on but no one is home
that also happens when u pick me up and look into my eyes
Dumbledore, died at age 115
Horcruxes made: 0
Voldemort, died at age 71
Horcruxes made: 7
Conclusion: Voldemort was the most useless, magic dependant wizard that ever existed. He could have lived till like 200 if he just ate well and exercised, but no he had to go and split up his soul and ruin perfectly good jewellery, fucking dumbass.

My dirty huge secret.
I have a secret that I've held in for a while. I'm telling it now to let everyone know that it happens and that I'm another statistic. It's horrible that it happened but it's something that is way too common now a days. And I have nothing to gain for telling you my secret. Not fame, fortune, or anything. I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN. I am putting myself out there because I need yall to see how it is now. You can't ignore it when it happens to your daughter, niece, cousin, sister, fiancée, or coworker.
I was raped last year. I never pressed charges because of the fact that I was underage and drinking alcohol that he provided. The fact that I wore a undergarments that screamed, "YOURE ASKING FOR IT". The fact that I wore a dress that was easy to take off. The fact that he was someone I trusted and he betrayed that trust. The fact that I denied that it happened to me and when I finally realized that normal people don't do that to friends, I blamed not him, but myself. The fact that if I mention it, even a year later, that it's made up and I'll ruin his life. That I'm seeking attention. That since I was drunk and mumbling incoherently, that I was asking for it. That I wanted it.
The only thing I blame myself for is calling him. I needed help since I was alone and in a bad emotional state. If I could go back, I would've called my now fiance, who loves me and wouldn't take advantage of me. But I called the wrong person.
A decent human being wouldn't have raped me, wouldn't removed my clothes, and left me in the state I was in. I woke up half naked and feeling disgusting.
It's been a year and only a handful of people know. My parents don't know. My aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and future in laws don't know. My coworkers never knew. I don't even think my best friend knows.
I'm sorry to disappoint my loved ones, but yall need to hear what happened to me, that I was taken advantage of, and that I didn't let it break me. I'm never going to name him or say his name. It'll give him power over me and he'll never have power over me again. I'll be dammed if that happened.
I'm not going to be able to pursue charges against my rapist and I don't want to. Not because he was a friend, but because he'll have to atone for it in hell. Let the gods deal with it. Karma will come to him eventually. And plus, even if I did pursue it, I'd be told a list if things like:
"You were asking for it."
"You secretly wanted it."
"You basically said yes by getting drunk and wearing a dress."
"Don't ruin his life. He has a future."
"It's your fault."
"You don't have any evidence. Just your word against his."
"You're a liar and attention seeker."
This will be the only and last time I ever publicly come forward with my story. I don't want to answer any questions and I don't care much for pity or hate. It happened to me. It sucks, even to this day. I never want to think about that guy or that night ever again.
I have a family that I'm more focused on a worried about.
I'm done with my story and that part of my life. How I coped with it was to bury it, but I dug it up so you can see it.
Me being raped will never be a label I carry with me. Me being raped shaped how I act around males now. I'm more cautious, on edge, and paranoid. Going to work is scary because of the men there.
You never know someone truly. A male friend raped me. Someone I trusted. I knew him. He wasn't a boogeyman or some stranger.
Let that sink in.
REBLOG ESPECIALLY MY DMV FOLLOWERS
I keep seeing shit about folks getting kidnapped and shit in the dmv
That’s wild
what the fuck?? how did you know this was a sex trafficking tactic?? I would have let her in my car jesus… how do you avoid this??
@loving-women-is-rad I can explain why this is obvious.
it’s the fact that she wanted to go into her isolated car instead of into the public building. going to her car gets her alone, where as going inside the well lit building with other people gets her around people who could protect both of them from the people she’s claiming are after her.
any actual victim will go straight for a well populated area. they may want you to come with them for help, but they would never try and get you away from a populated area and into an isolated car unless the car was the only option, because a dark car late at night is a fantastic way to isolate and capture a mark without anyone’s notice.
other tactics often used include:
1) pretending to be a heavily pregnant woman stuck out in bad weather she’s not dressed for and asking a good samaritan who asked her if she’s ok to buy her some coffee. if the woman refuses money and wants you to go with her specifically, becoming agitated when you don’t agree and only offer her cash, this is a trick. the person who found this out managed to follow a woman doing this and saw her arguing with another woman and two men. the men insisted she needed to be more convincing so people would be more sympathetic, and she watched her tell him to be the one out in the snow in the thin hoodie and fake belly, and she watched her take off a fake baby bump.
(someone taking the money can still be a scam, but it’s a scam for money, and not to traffic you. traffickers want to get you to leave a populated area, so refusing to go with them will upset them, and that’s the biggest reveal of their true intentions.)
2) a woman banging on your door screaming that a man is chasing her and begging you to let her in, saying he’s going to rape her if you don’t let her in. this was brought to everyone’s attention by a teenager who shared his story about it. his mother wanted to help her, but her husband had grown up in a ‘bad part of town’ and wasn’t so trusting. he unlocked the door but not the chain lock and handed her a brick, telling her his family was calling the police and he would stay with her at the door. if the person did show up she could use the brick to defend herself and he would come out with his..I think it was a baseball bat and help her fight him off. she became very angry, asking what was wrong with them and demanding they let her in. his only response was to close and lock the door again. she got quiet and when the police got there, she was gone but the brick was just sitting on one of their steps.
the next night the police were back, as the woman showed up again at someone else’s doorstep doing the exact same thing, only this time an officer was basically already there. that family had let her in, and she in turn let her partner in who proceeded to murder the entire family before being caught by the officer.
3) similarly, men have been known to use a recording of a baby crying playing at womens’ doorsteps in order to entice them into opening the door, this giveaway being that A) it’s recorded and that’s usually fairly obvious, but also that after a little while, the sound will move, typically under windows around the front of the house, something an actual baby clearly can’t do on its own, and is clearly someone attempting to get closer to the presumed sleeping women in the hopes of getting her attention, since she seemingly can’t hear it from the front door.
this was caught when a woman noticed this ‘baby’ moving and the cry looping and called the police. again an officer was nearby and found two men hiding in bushes around her house.
4)more of an example of something very common, a young woman shared a story of when she was little many years ago. she and a friend were going to some sort of event (she was into something. she was ether part of a sports team or dance team or something to that affect, something done by her school as she was around 6-7 at the time) her mother stopped off at a grocery store real quick and left her and her sleeping friend in the car. another little girl looking to be about 4 was in a car nearby with what this girl assumed was his father. he too got out of the car and left her there, going into the store. the girl was all smiles with him, even waving to our storyteller and smiling, until the man left. once he was inside suddenly she looked scared, and was acting like she wanted her to get out of the car and come to her. she tried waking her sleeping friend to tell her about this, thinking now the man wasn’t her father but someone who was a danger to her, but her friend gave her the dirtiest look, demanded she shut up and let her sleep, and rolled over. she looked back up at the 4 year old who was now looking at the store. she too looked over and saw the man just standing right at the window smiling and encouraging her. she smiled at him and then looked back to our storyteller, with her face instantly dropping back into that scared look on her face. she refused to get out of her car, and when the 4 year old looked back at the store, the man came back out, without having bought anything, gave the girl a smile and a pat and driving off, with the little girl waving at her as he drove away. after seeing this, she was convinced he was coaching her and using her to lure other children out to abduct them.
5)another example of something very common, a woman who was moving to another state and was by herself, as her fiance had gone ahead a month earlier to get things set up in the new place while she tied up the loose ends at the old one. on her way back to her car, she was stopped by a man in his truck, his passenger side between them, and asked her if she knew where a grocery store was. she said she didn’t know, as she was just stopping through on her way to a new place. he then said something along the lines that this was a nice place to stop on a trip with the family, and she admitted she was alone. it was then when he said it was nice to meet her and reached out his hand to shake hers, but did nothing to lean out, meaning she would have to reach in the car to reach him. it was here where she realized his questions confirmed that she was alone, far from home, and unfamiliar with the area, meaning if she vanished no one would know when she vanished or where on her long trip alone, and it would be a good while before anyone expected to see her, meaning by the time anyone realized she was gone she’d be long gone.
she refused to shake his hand, stating that she was going to go, and he sped off, far too fast for her to read the license plate.
the one thing all these stories have in common, the thing that’s kept people alive, was their refusal to give in to social expectations and protecting themselves as well as the person supposedly in need. by refusing to get into her car, the op story woman saved herself from being abducted and trafficked, as did my last story’s woman, by refusing to be polite and shaking the stranger’s hand.
Op’s woman still attempted to help her, so you absolutely can still help someone in need, but you have to do so safely and logically, without putting yourself at risk, which is exactly what these people need you to do. while it’s true a real potential victim could be screaming at your door for help or a real baby left on your doorstep that’s crying, you still have to be cautious because traffickers have no morals. there is no low they won’t stoop to if it means catching another person.
I know it can be hard to believe a woman would do something like this to other women, and not using such chances to get away themselves, but that’s what brainwashing, Stockholm syndrome, and abusive manipulation will do to someone’s mind. we all want to trust other women and believe in that solidarity against our mutual oppression, but it doesn’t always work out like that. girl code and solidarity is important, but we also have to watch our for ourselves, because not everyone cares about that code.
