THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
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.

Rook’s coming home
I don’t normally do photography/screenshots of games. But this just seemed so perfect. The Judge just sort of stood there by themselves and I managed to snap the picture and it just turned out amazing. Thanks for being photogenic, Rook <3
(That’s the Hope County Jail they’re facing)

Although I haven’t seen the new Spiderman movie, all my friends were making Spidersonas, and, well, I jumped on the bandwagon because, c’mon, Spiderman is awesome. Who wouldn’t want to swing through New York and scale buildings and fight bad guys? Sign me up, that’s for sure lol

Dating Pratt
My personal take on how dating Pratt would go! I'm not so much of a Pratt-lover as I am a Hudson-lover, but hey, here's something for all your Rook x Pratt needs! Lel
-Pratt plays little pratical jokes on Rook. Harmless little things that are just stupid and or funny.
-He's always trying to make Rook laugh in one way or another, through his pranks or through jokes.
-He likes to take some (or a lot) of time to come visit Rook in their office (in a No Cult AU setting). Despite Whitehorse's warnings, he keeps showing up at Rook's office just to bother them.
-He has a love for hugs...as in, once you hug him, he ain't letting you go for a long time!
-Will go overboard for Valentine's Day. He would decorate Rook's office in all these cheesy decorations and leave a crapton of chocolate or some other candy on their desk.
-He'll also decorate Hudson's office, but just to try to piss her off. It works.
-He's always trying to include Rook in conversations with other people to make sure they aren't left out.
-A total cuddler. Once he's got you, he's probably not letting go.
-Tries to keep up his appearance around Rook. Makes sure he looks professional and handsome, and even sprays on deoderant to make sure he smells nice.
-Would take Rook out for dinner, a movie, to a park, zoo, museum, mini-golf or one of their homes for a date.
-Can get a little flustered if Rook flirts with him.
-Will defend Rook if someone starts flirting with them. Though he'd try not to get into a fistfight or insult the other person, he would start to get heated if the other person persisted on flirting with Rook.
-If Rook is sick, he drops everything to take care of them. He won't force them home like Hudson would, but he would keep an eye on them all day long. He'd bring them soup or orange juice and lots of tissues or whatever else is needed.
-If Rook is really sick (i.e. throwing up), he would be there with them, wherever they're at. If they're home, he's there with them. At work, he would try to pressure them to go home, but he'd be with them the whole time.
-Usually leaves a donut for breakfast on Rook's desk every few days. Also coffee or hot chocolate, or any other drink preference.
I'll see if I can add to this! If anyone wants me to do more of these with another character, just let me know!

Dating Hudson
Here's my personal take on how dating Hudson would go! For all your Rook X Hudson shipping needs lol (I can't lie, I'm guilty of this)
-Hudson doesn't blush easy. If anything, she takes it as her own personal challenge to flirt back twice as hard.
-She has a habit of making sure Rook is warm during the cold months or just on a cold day. If they're not wearing a jacket, she chatises them until they wear one.
-She prefers to keep it professional in the workplace. Every once in a while, though, she'll let her girlfriend instincts take over. At this point, she'll straighten her significant other's uniform, give them a reassuring hand squeeze, and will even come up with a bad excuse just to visit them in their office.
-If Rook is having a bad day or just received some bad news, well, no more professionalism. She's there in a heartbeat and by their side, ready to comfort them at a moment's notice.
-She would be the type to give little gifts and leave said gifts and notes on Rook's desk.
-Pratt has a habit of leaving fake love notes from "Hudson" on Rook's desk as well. They aren't insulting, just super mushy and weird. He also leaves dead flowers that he probably found in a dumpster. Hudson has a habit of punching Pratt for this.
-Hudson will let Rook get away by calling her by her actual name, Joanna (at least I think that's her actual name lol). She still prefers Joey, though.
-Hudson is finicky on being touched. If in a No Cult AU setting, she's more relaxed and able to let her partner put a hand on her. In the canon FC5 world, however, Rook has to let Hudson know of their presence before they touch her. Otherwise, Hudson is jumpy and is likely to accidentally attack or judo-flip her partner. Of course, she would apologize over and over for doing so.
-Hudson has the uncanny ability to read her partner's emotions and movements very well. You can't get away with lying to this lady, hell no. She knows you too well.
-Same goes with being sick. She can just sense it. If she finds out you're sick at work, she's taking your ass home and forcing you to rest.
-If you have a light cold, she'll return to work but check up on you via texts. If you need anything, she drops everything and gets it for you. If you're very sick, she stays with you. She'll take the day off. Given her strong ass immune system, she rarely gets sick, so thankfully, she'll almost never catch what you have.
-Her idea of a date: Dinner, maybe a movie, going to a museum, hanging out at her house or yours...or hell, taking you out on a helicopter ride across the county at night.
-Even outside of work, Hudson can be tough still, not even fully relaxed. Part of her is still on the job, but she's relaxed enough to enjoy her time with you.
-Enjoys leaning on Rook. Resting her head on their shoulder, pressed up against them, she enjoys things like that.
-Loves Halloween and Christmas and always makes sure to leave candy or a little Christmas treat on Rook's desk.
-Secretly enjoys baking and may or not make homemade goodies for her significant other...but she will deny it, damnit.
I may add more to this! But also, if demanded enough, Pratt will be next!

NO CULT AU
So, if there was no cult, what would life be like as the Junior Deputy at Hope County Sheriff's Department? Here's my thoughts!
Pratt: Pratt doesn't really care too much about the newbie at first. They're there, whatever. He makes the rookie do all the paperwork he doesn't want to do. He also likes to prank them. A lot. Eventually though, he warms up to Rook after some time has gone by. He finds he enjoys their company. He also enjoys harassing/pranking their co-worker, Hudson, who judo-flips him from time to time when he manages to scare her well enough. The two have an interesting friendship, with Pratt taking things not as seriously. Whitehorse sometimes gets sick of Pratt's shit, but Pratt is actually damn good at his job at least, so Whitehorse keeps him around.
Hudson: Unlike Pratt, Hudson is nice to the rookie off the bat. Despite her tough attitude, she's kind enough to help the rookie out and take them under her wing...which means every time she catches Pratt pranking the newbie, she scolds him for doing so. Hudson does't make Rook do any extra work. If anything, she lends a helping hand. Despite her kindness, she does have a little bit of a hard time trusting new people, so it'll take her a bit to start opening up. She doesn't like it when things don't get done. If Rook slacks on purpose, she'll make sure to voice her opinion on the matter. After some time goes by, she'll be a lot nicer, maybe even welcome a couple of jokes. Pratt thinks she takes things too seriously. Whitehorse, however, thinks she's stellar at her job and praises her often, though she can get a little pushy with certain matters.
Whitehorse: Whitehorse is used to trainees by now. He treats them with professional respect and kindness, but expects them to do their job well. He doesn't like pranks or jokes and expects a professional work environment. Rook is treated the same as Hudson and Pratt. After a while, you will notice that Whitehorse has a soft spot here and there for his deputies, though it rarely comes out. He recognizes when an employee is sick or exhausted and forces them to take the day off. He knows his deputies and their strengths and weaknesses very well and knows when they're not doing so hot. Although he may not see it himself, he does take care of his deputies. Sheriff Dad ftw.
Hurk: Hurk may or may not have pissed on Rook's squad car once. He was very, very drunk. Pratt may or may not have pissed himself laughing at this.
