LOUD REMINDER THAT IF U HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY OCs YOU CAN ASK THEM AT LITERALLY ANY TIME
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 itās less likely to creak
socks are quieter than bare feet on tile/wood and for the love of god donāt 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 fellĀ
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
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 ITāS 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.
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 youāre outside.
-if youāre secure enough in your room to have a small food stash, make sure youāre 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 Iād 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, Iād 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 youāre going through (close friend/partner/etc) see if thereās 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 buildingās 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 donāt recommend going for dried foods like granola or cereal unless you can sneak it to a secure place to get it. Itās too loud, itās a gamble every time for something with less caloric intake than itās worth if you get caught. Of course, there are times when thatās the only option!!
-if youāre 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 theyād separate, so shaking it would redistribute the cream.) I still shake milk jugs to this day.
-if your windows open or donāt 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-oās). 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 didnāt 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 youāre 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 donāt 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 youāre 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. Iām 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. donāt take bills, take change. If your abusers donāt meticulously count their nickels and pennies, theyāre 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 theyād 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 āindependentā 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 momās dog wouldnāt 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 canāt. 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 couldnāt 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 youāre suspicious theyāre 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 wouldnāt 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. Theyāll come in handy at one point or another.
-remember that youāre not totally alone. Thereās people out there for you. Wanting to make everything better. You donāt deserve whatās happening, it isnāt 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
in honor of my parents being back from vacation hereās a few more tips-
(long as shit so under the cut)
Keep reading
Writing prompt: āHey! I was gonna eat that!ā Pairing of your choice ^^
Pairing of my choice? Ā Well then allow me to introduce Cyrex and Verse from this awesome game called Tyranny! Ā Made by the great creators of Pillars of Eternity. Ā This game features you as a flunky of the Overlord! Ā I had a blast with it and highly recommend it for all!
Verse is the local wild girl that just kicks ass everywhere she goes. Ā There was sadly no romancing in the game (just like with Pillars where they have awesome characters and not allowing you to chase their tails) but I liked the relationship she and my Fatebinder had.
āāāāāāāāāāā
Cyrex gave a casual stretch from his spot by the fire, his booted feet ached and the heat helped to ease them a bit as he brought his two handed sword closer so he could care for it. Ā It was hard enough to get an iron weapon but when you did the upkeep could be as annoying as the weapon was useful.
Ebb seemed to be meditating as was her usual night time routing and Lantry was lost in his writings, the ink flying across his arms quickly and making Cyrexās eyes hurt as he tried to focus and see what the old scribe was writing about. Ā
There was certainly better things to look at though, like a certain lovely mohawked warrior woman that was setting a skewered rabbit on a spit made from the arrow she caught it with.
āHope you arenāt expecting me to share my spoils Fatebinder,ā Verse said with a sniff when she caught him looking. Ā āYou can take a girl out of the Chorus but you canāt take the Chorus out of the girl.ā
āI would not dare to assume such a thing,ā Cyrex said with a grin. Ā āIf required I have my own rations. Ā Though I would think you would be more accommodating for your charming and handsome leader?ā
āMaybe,ā Verse commented back with a playful grin. Ā āIf he was any good in a fight that is. Ā I saved your ass to many times for you to be considered much of a leader in my book. Ā You might be a pretty face to look at Fatebinder and have a clever tongue to match but you can be dumb as a box of rocks about simple things like taking out mages before they fry your buns off.ā
āHey now, I was keeping the fellow with the spear busy. Ā Otherwise it would be you on that spit with a spear in a rather uncomfortable place I might add.ā
āNever would have hit me and you know it,ā Verse stated with a dismissive wave as she turned the rabbit. Ā It was almost done and she didnāt want it charred. Ā āI would have seen it and got out of the way long before it reached me.ā
āOh really?ā
Before Verse could say anything else she found herself tackled into the dirt. Ā The blond man on top of her with a crooked smile and a mischievious fire in those whiskey eyes of his.
āDid you see that coming?ā he rumbled out, making Verse think of a very large cat. Ā She had to remind herself that even though he had a tendency towards law and order that made her gage and think of Barrick, he also had some wild tendencies that really got her blood going.
Cyrex was not however the type to cross certain lines, not that she would have allowed it. Ā Sheād have had her dagger in his jugular before he got a knot undone.
The Fatebinder eased off her carefully, his smile vanishing suddenly into a look of surprise as he blinked up at the fire.
Verse sat up and looked as well before swearing. Ā āHey! Ā I was gonna eat that!ā
Ebb looked at them both over the fire, a big bite of rabbit in her mouth. Ā āWell, since you two were busy playing grab ass I thought I would help myself before it burned.ā
āYou were waiting for it werenāt you?ā Cyrex asked sounding somewhere between amused and annoyed.
āHe who loses sight of the prize, gets to live off flat bread and water,ā Ebb said with no repentance in her tone at all. Ā Her smug smile wide as she took another bite, leaving the two youngsters to learn the lesson that there was some things more important than hormones.
Like good food.

So when a kid is laying on the floor in a shop screaming u get down to their level n say ohhh noooo darling don't do that pleaaaase that's naughty cmon get up be a good boy or girl. The kids gonna stop n get up lmao. U say if u don't get up right now I'm gonna give ya a whip on the arse..1...2...n I bet they'll get up.
No. You remove your child from the scene (because children are often reacting to overstimulation such as the grocery store is too loud, the room is too bright, thereās people they donāt know around, theyāve been there too long etc) and go somewhere quiet. You then sit with them as they cry, reassuring them that you are present, and once they have stopped crying you offer comfort and ask if they know what it is that they were so upset about. Then you calmly talk to them so they - and you - can understand and fix the problem that was the root of the tantrum.
Bad example;āWhy are you crying?āāIām hungryāāWell weāre going home soon!ā
Good example;āDo you know why you were crying?āāIām hungryā āWeāre at the grocery store to get food. We only have three more aisles to go. We can count them down together. Then weāll go home and we can eat.ā
Children donāt understand āsoonā; even for adults, āsoonā is a relative term. children understand things like āthree aisles. Two. One. Now weāre going home!ā
Children need communication, understanding and teaching. Not beating, intimidating or belittling.

Torja is my Fatebinder now and I gave her the pit fighter background. I guess Tunon picked her up just after she won her freedom or something and now sheās completely loyal to him
So, last weekend @darthmama visited and as usual, our discussions eventually ended up in two areas: dice/gaming and soot balls.Ā A few years back, I made her four small soot balls and she updated me on their status (one survives!Ā yay!).Ā Later on, I decided to knit up a small dice bag for her as Iād recently discovered how to make them.Ā I didnāt quite get it done before she left, so I promised to mail it.
Fast forward to about a half hour after she left when my brain finally smacked me upside the head and said,Ā āYou dummy!Ā You should make her a soot ball dice bag!āĀ So the mad scramble to find black yarn began and five days later, voila!Ā Not too bad for a first try!Ā (I do think I should have made the eyes bigger, though)
Anyway, sheās delighted and I warned her sheāll probably need to buy more dice to fill it up (itās bigger than it looks!) but Iām pleased with it!
*is still squealing into the ether*
Tyranny isā¦..a good game
Quality content people!
Tunon: The newest recruit makes me feel things.

Tyranny |Ā Sometimes, Evil Wins
So Iām playing this bad boy again. Highly recommend it to folks that like choices and story in their RPGās. I also highly recommend making a character and not trying to do everything at once. Thatās what new game + is for. š
