Read this and save a life - YOUR OWN
From a surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher:
Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:
1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.
2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.
3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.
5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.
11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.
12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.
please take the time and boost this post by reposting it and sending it to those you love because we all need to understand how to quickly deal with heart attacks
They’ve cut Gaza off from the world
and let the history books name joe biden, rishi sunak, justin trudeau, emmanuel macron, ursula von der leyen and every other world leader who did not step in to prevent the genocide of palestine as cold-blooded murderers. may they face a shred of the immeasurable pain and suffering they allowed to be committed against 2.2. million innocent lives.
gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.
after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.
The person I reblogged this from is awesome as fuck.
Hey, you’d read a story where Ben and Audrey reconcile after their poorly written break up?
Yes definitely.
Again back to my roots:
No matter what anyone tried to tell you, no one from the Isle can ever consider themselves fully good. Everyone who has survived the Isle has done so because they've done something at bare minimum morally gray to survive.
Dead body on the street? Take their clothes. They don't need them, and it'll help keep the warmth in during the winter.
Robbing a house and there's food cooking? Take all of it - the person you're robbing clearly has ways and means of acquiring more, otherwise you wouldn't be robbing them.
Your boss demands more than you can physically give and is threatening you with death? It's gonna end in your death or his, and is that really a choice?
Your sibling/lover/best friend is sick and dying, and someone can trade you the medicine but are demanding a favour like murder or grand larceny? Buckle up buckaroo if I'm staying in this hellhole you are too.
No one on the Isle is 100% good. They're too jaded and traumatised to ever be able to believe in other people enough to be good. Everyone ends up manipulating, cheating, sacrificing others just a little to ensure the comfort and lives of their inner circle. It's accepted on the Isle, but bizarre in Auradon.
it’s so funny that the vks went from living in poverty to hanging out with royalty like these kids have never done anything normal in their lives?? they’ve had caviar and watched horse racing but they’ve never gone to a playground or visited a zoo

There's a Rumour in St Petersburg rewritten for D1 purposes, @idontliketomatoesleavemealone
Yeah I just wanted to share it. Yes, with the awful colour coding.
Isle kids: „The Isle is so gloomy, the Isle is so bleak–“
Auradon kids: „Auradon's all glory, and we must do our part.“
Isle child: „My good shoes got stolen, these streets are not for the weak,“
Auradon child: „Our good king Adam, he has a golden heart–“
Everyone: „Oh beware the lions, the witches, theives and fey, thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day!“ („Hey!“)
Auradon adults: „Have you heard the rumour, about the little prince,“
Auradon kids: „Have you heard the rumour, that they're saying in the news?“
Isle kids: „It's all but lies and rumours, just repeat and rinse!“
Auradon kids and adults: „Although the Villains are exiled, they went on and had kids, and the prince wants to invite, four of them to Auradon!“
Isle kids: „The worst of them all!“
All three: „But please don't repeat!“
Isle kids: „It's just a rumour.“
Auradon adults: „It's madness!“
All three: „Mystery!“
Auradon kids: „Something shared only with your closest friends,“
Isle kids: „A note passed under a closed fence,“
The kids: „It's a rumour, and we can make it History!“
Auradon kids: „He says that the children, they can't be all that bad,“
Auradon adults and Isle kids: „Delusion, really, it's quite sad,“
All three: „It's a surprise to be had!“
Everyone: „It's the rumour, the plan, the mystery,“
Isle merchant 1: „One silver for the apple, it is cursed, I swear!“
Isle merchant 2: „It's Queen Belle's earrings, real deal, this pair!“
Jay, sweeping through the marketand taking the jewels without paying „You got this from the trash, you won't see my cash-“
Mal, hiting him in the shoulder: „Focus, Jay, focus now: if we succeed, you'll have all the riches you know!“
Mal: „The prince's kind plan will help us fly! You and I, friends, we'll go down in history!“
Mal: „We'll find the wand and we'll know the words to say, take down the Barrier so we will all be free, imagine the dues and debts the king and queen will have to pay! Who else could pull it off but you and me?“
Jay: „We'll be rich, we'll be rich,“
Isle kids, joining him: „We'll be out, we'll be out!“
Auradon kids: „And the kingdom will have more to talk about!“
Isle kids: „Shh!“
Auradon kids: „Have you heard the rumour, about our to-be king?“
Isle kids: „Have you heard the rumour, that they're saying in the streets?“
(„Hey, hey, hey!“)
Auradon kids: „Have you heard, there's a rumour on the streets,“
Auradon adults: „On the news“
Isle kids: „And back allies,“
Everyone: „Have you heard?“
Auradon adults: „The prince lost his mind it's truly a tragedy!“
Auradon kids: „I wonder what they'll be like, what an awesome mystery!“
Isle kids, meaning two things at once: „The greatest con in history!“
Auradon kids: „The king,“
Auradon adults: „The prince,“
Isle kids: „The wand, the spell, the love, the hate,“
Auradon adults: „The Good have won!“
Auradon and Isle kids: „Who knows?“
I'd care if the person I reblogged this from committed suicide.
Reblog this from anybody. literally. ANYBODY. even if you dont like them or even know them that well. YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE.

disney descendants - but add TATTOOS
the Docks house the majority of the tattoo trade on the Isle, so the Sea Three grow up treating tattoos more casually while they've got more of a rebellious vibe for VKs living inland, like the Core Four.
to the VKs on the docks, tattoos most often serve as a show of ownership or as self expression.
for the Core Four and AKs, I imagine it's more common to see tattoos as individual pieces of art.
there's a lot of blurring that line, but seeing tattoos as self expression vs art can carry a lot into both how a person perceives tattoos in general and how they tend to design and place their tattoos.
Jay shows up at the Dragon's Den one day with a large, traditional, fully shaded, badass cobra curling around his bicep.
Evie and Carlos are fascinated but also a bit uncomfortable.
Mal immediately feels challenged, artistically, and starts designing a badass dragon design that she wants to get on her back someday.
Evie and Carlos don't get tattoos until years later, when they're in Auradon and comfortable in their own skin and are able to go to a nice, clean, entirely above-the-board tattoo studio.
Evie gets a little crown on her ankle.
Carlos ends up getting a number of random, small designs over time. Jane's name, a silhouette of Dude, the date that he last saw his mother (the date from when he's been free).
Evie gets a second tattoo eventually, on a dare, and gets a small ruler design on her wrist that's perfect for helping measure hems and edges for her projects.
Mal waits until getting settled in Auradon, too - first because she doesn't trust the skill of the tattoo artists on the Isle to do it "right," and then because she doesn't think her tattoo would be viewed as appropriate for the future Queen of Auradon.
once everything has settled out post-D3, though, and she's confident in her skin she brings it up with Ben (because having the Sea Three around is making her remember how much she really wants to get a tattoo, not that she'd ever admit to that).
Ben totally supports her and she gets a fantastical dragon across her back, painstakingly done by one of the finest artisans in Auradon.
Harry started tattooing himself when he was a kid, messing around with stick-and-poke techniques he saw the older kids using.
they didn't have great ink and stick-and-pokes usually fade pretty fast anyway, even faster when you're constantly in the sun, so he had a lot of fun with the canvas of his hands, arms, and thighs and did a lot of experimentation.
once he and Gil got closer, Harry did a lot of small designs on Gil when he was bored.
Uma got the first real tattoo of all of them.
she showed up at one of the tattoo shops dragging a bag full of tips and left several sessions later with a full sleeve of ocean waves crashing against a ship that was surrounded by tentacles.
she was pleased by how the artist had gotten it to look like the tentacles could either be pulling the ship to its doom or just giving it a hug.
Harry absolutely loved it and began going to get himself a new tattoo every time he scraped together enough tips and stolen coins.
a compass on the back of his hand; a dagger down his thigh; constellations dotting his arms; a menagerie growing one by one of seahorses and sharks and gulls.
he gets a traditional pinup on his hip; a grand, proper pirate's ship on one knee and a kraken mirroring its style on the other; he has multiplication tables and other memorization tricks done on the inside of his wrists to help him on tests.
months after his first (and only) hesitant, respectful request, Uma lets him get her name tattooed as a tramp stamp.
she goes with him and directs the artist and he ends up with her name surrounded by tentacles; they're strategically positioned to curl around the letters but also draw the eye to where they disappear beneath his waistband.
Uma didn't get tattoos as often but they were always grand and befitting her rank as Captain.
she adhered religiously to her colors and aesthetic, creating a map of black, turquoise, cyan, and purple whirls and lines that made her look ever inch the magical being she should be.
Uma complemented the heavy linework with little skulls and bones, sea creatures, and rolling waves.
I've seen some people say that "Wharf Rats" is just an insult Carlos called the crew, but I like the headcanon that it's the actual name of Uma's crew and that everyone who joined up was required to get a tattoo as a promise of loyalty.
Harry totally designed it himself.
Uma and Harry have the largest versions of it, so they added some extra detail and flare to theirs. Uma's on her chest and Harry's across his upper back.
most of the crew have theirs on a bicep but Gil got his on the back of his neck.
Gil didn't get any ink until he came back to the Docks and joined the crew.
once he was back, though, he tagged along and got something done every time Uma or Harry went.
he liked to get Harry to help him come up with ideas for designs that would draw attention to his arms and muscles.
Gil got lots of flowers and plants and birds on his arms, eventually tying the designs together into full sleeves.
Uma and Harry would roll their eyes but loved how badass Gil could manage to make a bunch of flowers.
colored tattoos were far less common than black linework and shading because it was much harder to come by substantial quantities of colorful ink on the Isle.
having his flowers colored made Gil's sleeves pop out and draw attention even more.
he got roaring waves and sharks and sea monsters on his back, pulling up into his Wharf Rats tattoo, with everything perfectly designed to flatter the flex of his shoulders and back.
on his trip around Auradon with Jay, Gil had a lot of fun getting a new tattoo in each kingdom, coloring in his chest with new kinds of flowers and filling up his legs with a variety of designs that reminded him of his favorite stops.
once she escaped the barrier and was restored access to her magic and heritage, Uma learned that her she could make her tattoos glow and reflect her natural magic.
she waited a long time for the day when she, Harry, and Gil were all free from the Isle and she was able to casually take her shirt off and enjoy Harry tripping on his feet and falling on his face at how extra stunning her tattoos were now.
Harry took advantage of the better resources for tattoos in Auradon and had his tattoos relined, as a lot of them were beginning to fade.
he had red lines and shading worked into the designs to give them an extra bit of pop, cohesiveness, and general Hook aesthetic.
for AKs, the most common tattoos were small and easy to hide, like significant others' names, important dates, and little minimalist designs.
Harry won a dare once and coerced Jay and several of Jay's tourney friends into going and getting larger, more artistic designs, though.
to Harry's surprise (and Uma and Gil's delight), some of Harry's first AK friends ended up being heirs from kingdoms like Matinui and DunBroch, with whom he bonded over tattoos after they approached him with admiration for his ink and for his opinions on design.
kingdom pride and fairytale tattoos are definitely a thing. an artist would have a lookbook with glass slippers and well known castles and glass covered roses.
just. TATTOOS guys.
REBLOG IF ITS OKAY TO TALK TO YOU.
Please.
Mal
The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy.
"i love that the isle has had a MAJOR glow up!" OH YOU MEAN IT GOT BASIC NECESSITIES???
VK Hierarchy
Due to Maleficent's position as ruler of the Isle, Mal is automatically considered at the top of the food chain. Mal first came onto the streets at 10 as an enforcer for her mother. As the years went on she made a name for self by being ruthless, Mal also started to put a gang together and went off on her own, Maleficent's territory slowly became more known as Mal's. Though Mal does still live in Bargin Castle and does report to her mother, however she has stopped being an enforcer and has made her own name for herself instead of just being Maleficent's enforcer. The Fae Syndicate is one of the most dangerous gangs on the isle and controls a large territory.
The Fae Syndicate is closely followed by The Burbers and the two Pirate Crews The Burbers are a large gang and they hold a lot of territory, they are lead by Yasmine daughter of Jafer and Jay's twin, Yasmine is a formidable woman who earned her place by killing the former leader of the Burbers after he broke sanctum. Her second is Hugo Rourke, who is know for his sheer strength and the fact that he is loyal to the bone.
Both Uma's and Harriet's Pirate Crews have a decent amount of territory, they also have access to the only fresh food supply and they control all the docks on the Isle. Uma's crew control the left side of harbour town from the dark cliffs and Ursula's to the barge docks in the centre of harbour town. They also stretch up enough to control some of the edges of the town proper. Harriet's crew control the right side of harbour town from the Jolly Rodger and Hook's Inlet to the barge docks. They also control some of the edges of the town proper
The Lost Children and the Merchant Punks are next, they garner a lot of respect and fear. The Lost Children, led by Anthoney Tremaine, because they are the oldest on the Isle and had to cut their place out, to be seen as more than just extensions of their parents, the Lost Children are also different because they only except those who were born with the first two years on the isle.
The Merchant Punks, led by Leo Silver, are a large gang with a large territory, they control the majority of the Bazaar and the shops so you don't wan to anger them less you lose access to most things on the isle.
The gangs are mainly on equal footing though and as things like territory and supplies and allies are always changing there is no sure fire way to know who is better than the others, though all the gangs like to say they are the best.
ohhh the vks crave approval so much :( my poor babies
There are lots of gangs on the Isle, both made up of VKs and Adults. Some gangs are simply groups of people who have joined together in an effort to survive, they try to stay out of the politics and schemes of the isle, they might claim a small amount of territory, but it is usually on a couple of streets or buildings. Out of all of the gangs made up of the VKs there are 32, who have made it to the top of the pile. These gangs all control bigger territory and have more power. They got to the top by being the most ruthless and not being scared of anything, always taking the risks and grabbing for as much as they could, some of these gangs have the backing of their parents, but some didn't, the ones that didn't are the most feared, that isn't to say the ones that had backing aren't though.
All the gangs are likely to clash with each other, this leads to infighting, gang wars and turf wars. It is whispered in dark corners of loud buildings that the leaders are like warlords. The gangs aren't always fighting, there are alliances, fragile and dangerous as they may be.
It is a rare day on the Isle when there isn't fighting, but on certain occasions there will be cease fires, such as on Samhain and Initiation, there are also certain places that are considered neutral, like the town square and Curl Up and Dye.
