An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.”
Inspired by thay one MP100 post but Trans Lloyd meeting Garmadon for the first time in *checks watch* since he was a baby and Garm is like "Hello my daughter..." and Lloyd just blurts out "Dad, I'm a boy." And Garmadon, who was 1) dead 2)then stuck in the realm of madness and 3) not, like, at his peak mental state is like oh no. Did I forget my kids gender? No it's fine I can save this and just goes "I knew that."
I'm soo tired and that made me not finish.

@l0on i'm so sorry. YOU ARE THE REASON I'M POSTING THIS
You know your an old Ninjago fan when you remember...
When the original 4 ninja had to use the golden weapons to use their elements
When Nya was "just Kai's sister"
Thought Lloyd was just the silly villian of the week
When finding out Zane is a nindroid was a big twist
When everyone thought Kai was going to be the green ninja
⬆and Lloyd being the green ninja was a major twist
When you thought Zane's death was permanent
When the serpentine were villains
Jaya wasn't canon
When Wu went by "Sensei" instead of "Master"
When Cole did the Triple Tiger Sashay for the first time
When the Overload was their toughest enemy
Zane's funny switch
When Lloyd had a bowl cut
When Garmadon wasn't a deadbeat dad
Reblog with your favorite early season moment
(Because I thought the plot didn’t make too much sense as I detailed here)
Still think it would be interesting if Lloyd thought evil Harumi was hot. No idea how that would possibly work? Like it has the potential to be mega toxic. Or maybe Lloyd was just trying the old “the best way to defeat an enemy is to make them your friend”. Actually I think that would work really well because that did defeat the first son of Garmadon (s1 Lloyd). And it may just justify Harumi’s redemption
I just don’t want Lloyd to be as attached to her as he is in canon because mans really just met her 2 days ago, didn’t really know her, she kissed him like once and then was hung up over her for 3 seasons like man, shouldn’t he be used being betrayed by friends by now (snakes, pythor, his dad, his mum technically, technology, the tournament, the museum guy, the postman). Like this wasn’t anything new
Maybe he was a similar opinion to Nya when first meeting the royal family, that they’re cringe but develops a crush on Harumi when she thanked everyone personally, and instead of being “girl… 😃” he actively tried to deny he had any feelings because he took a look at LITERALLY EVERYONE in this series with their truck loads of relationship drama and went “no no I do not need that noise please omg I don’t need to feel this”. Like it would be funny. He saw a girl and now he’s going ballistic.
Then he kinda ignored it when her parents died because read the room
*lloyd and Harumi in the temple*
Harumi: I have a confession
Lloyd: me too! Let’s say it at the same time
Simultaneously: I’m actually the quiet one and I want to resurrect your evil dad // I’m in love with you
PLEASE IT WOULD BE FUNNY
And then she kidnaps him
While she’s walking him to the ritual he’s just *mimicking kai* “just tell her how you feel Lloyd! What’s the worst thing that could happen?”
At some point in s9 they’re alone fighting and while he’s still like “f u, you brought my dad back” she asks him tauntingly, why he liked her and he basically redoes his confession
And that he thinks that there’s genuinely good in her, that despite everything she cares for her found family (the SoG) and she’s just hurting. And that he knows what its like because he relates to her. He once felt backed in a hole, doing anything to make himself bigger. And he knows that deep down, she doesn’t want a dystopian Ninjago. She just wants to feel okay again.
And she’s like “… shut up” but really that’s what she needed to hear.
And that’s what we’re thinking off when she dies.
Also it ties into Lloyd’s arc of “finding his voice”
Also Garmadon doesn’t adopt Harumi. Or at least, he makes it clear that he does not care about her.
Harumi: I’ll be your daughter
Garmadon: if that’s the delusion you want to live, then so be it. But make no mistake, I no longer care for any child of mine
Harumi: …I’ll take it!
Had a dream last night where the whole fandom got together to write a collective Ninjago fanfic and it was terrible. Like, one person would write 500 words, and pass it off to the next person, and the next, until it was an incomprehensible, disgusting, masterpiece of different ideas and headcanons and bad jokes. People were fighting to introduce their blorbos to the plot in 500 words. Writing styles suddenly changed in the middle of conversations. People would use their 500 words to kill off major characters only for someone else to bring them back in the most contrived way possible.
Screaming, crying and throwing up 🥹
Hi I decided to start some ✨Ninjago movies hcs✨
Pt. 1
🔥Kai🔥
-One of the ‘Cool kids’
-Gets super tempered if someone tries to mess with Lloyd
-Tempered in the sense of sending a kid to the hospital once and getting suspended
-Is also the Class clown
-Literally just shouts random things and interrupts the teacher all the time
-Sees Lloyd as a little brother to him
-Thinks he’s the supreme sibling to Nya cause he’s older
-He’s 100% wrong though
-Also somehow has a really good girl voice
-Loves to prank call random people from their school with the others
-It takes them all their power to not burst out laughing while he’s making the call
-Has major anger issues that he manages to hide most of the time
-Once accidentally set one of the mechs on fire
-He wasn’t able to go on missions for a week after that
-Uses his fire powers for stuff like roasting marshmallows (mostly just burning them)
-Is overall a funny and cool guy (as long as you don’t make him mad that is)
Lloyd and Lord G are my coping mechanism. I'm also on FFNet and AO3 And yeah, I can't draw.
