I am risking nothing
I AM SORRY FOLLOWERS, I LOVE MY MOMMY
Will not risk.
sorry followers :(
background
tear gas is not a gas, itâs a kind of powder that clings to ur skin and clothing. it affects ur eyes and ur respiratory system. tear gas cans have different levels of toxicity, and the ones used against civilians are the lowest, but u should never trust a cop with ur safety
countries might have different policies about it, but common (rarely followed) protocols include:Â
tear gas canister must be shot at the air, not directly at civilians
police must announce they will gas the place before shooting a can
lethality
people with respiratory problems should be thoroughly careful as death may ocur in a matter of hours exposed to it
others with no problems might experience fainting
have in mind the long lasting effects of this chemical weapon have not been registered yet
protection
thick face mask (the type made from a paper-like material) for a short period of exposure or low toxicity
proper gas masks with mixed filter against organic vapours and acid gases + particles
goggles (like ski masks or to go swimming)
if the gas mask doesnât cover your entire face/doesnât have a proper grip, u need to wear a bandana or a piece of clothing under it
do NOT use vinegar
do NOT wear makeup, creams or sunscreen as it worsens the effect on ur eyes
treatment & prevention
cheap: mixture of 90% water + 10% baking soda, apply on the nose, rinse ur mouth with it, pour it on the eyes (closed) and wait a little while before blinking repeatedly
 effective & cheap: boil a pot of water with laurel leaves (the kind u use to cook) until water turns brown. apply on nose, rinse mouth, pour on closed eyes and blink repeatedly. more effective as preventive measure (soak a piece of clothing and hold it against ur mouth/nose or tie it around ur head)
other: maalox antiacid
u can bite on a lemon for the effects to go away, but it would only last once ur away from the gas
do NOT run or get agitated, walk fast and watch where ur going. be calm, be mindful of others suffering the effects of the gas around u. help each other. contain each other
sneeze, cough, spit and blink as much as necessary until uâve recovered
aftercare
tear gas clings to ur skin and ur clothes, so try to get the least amount of skin exposed. do NOT touch ur face (eyes, mouth, nose) with ur hands or ur clothes after uâve been exposed, as the particles of the chemical will once again hurt u
u can wash ur clothes with baking soda, but the chemical might still remain (so dont take that forever 21 dress to a protest)
do NOT shower with hot water, as it re-activates the chemical. u dont have to use ice cold water but regulate the temperature carefully
neutralization
baking soda + water mixture in a big (6lt) reusable water bottle (some people add shampoo). u must wear heavy face protection and wielding gloves to manipulate the tear gas canister, grabbing it quickly from the floor and then cover the bottle as fast as u can once u put the can inside. it takes a few minutes to put off.
important: keep the canister, dont throw it away. when uâve gotten to safety take a picture of the labels and information on the can, as it details the toxicity and precautions. make sure to check the protocols in ur country and report any misconduct.
not recommended: if u do not have the proper equipment to handle a tear gas canister, throw or kick the can against the police who shot it. watch them suffer. absolutely not recommended i do not support this u should never :-)
background
pepper spray isnt a gas either, the particles get under ur skin and stay there for a very long period of time. it obstructs ur respiratory system and blinds u for hours. if u see a cop walking around with a long canister in their hand, do please please get away and warn others.
lethality
death has been registered on asthmatic people
no long lasting effects as far as i know
protection
thereâs nothing that can really prevent the effects of a pepper spray attack. it will cling to whatever u have on though, so the more covered u are the less particles will reach ur skin.
milk: magnesium milk is more recommended (u can buy it in a drugstore) but regular milk might work as well. it can lower the effects of pepper spray but it wont stop it. it relieves the effects after uâve been attacked, but depending on how exposed u were. it leaves white stains on the skin and clothes.
aftercare
tear gas will worsen the effects, so if ur attacked with pepper spray u must get away immediately
if u are hit directly, in close proximity, u need to be taken to a hospital asap
it will burn ur skin and ur throat, u will feel hell on ur skin, but do not cry. remain calm. u need to know this will be over in a few hours and u will have no long lasting effects
the hospital may release u once uâve recovered sight, but ur skin (especially ur hands, as u use and move them the most) will still hurt from time to time. sink the affected areas in a mixture of water and dish soap repeatedly and fast for 10-15 seconds
do NOT put any creams or lotions on
throw away the clothes and belongings contaminated with it, but be careful and mindful of the animals and homeless people who search for food in the trash, they dont deserve to suffer the effects of this weapon just because u are lousy
lethality
u will not die of a pellet shot wound, but if it lands on ur eyes u will be permanently blinded as the eye injury is irreversible
at the hospital they might have to give u vaccines
sometimes doctors are unable to remove the bullets and, depending on what itâs made of, u might suffer the effects of contamination
have in mind they can land anywhere, even ur face, and the removal is painful and excruciating
if ur shot in a non threatening part of ur body it will hurt like hELL, but u can still walk around just fine
protection
wearing jeans or windbreaker fabric will lower the speed of the shot, though it will still injure ur skin
anything from tin pieces to wood will stop the bullets. u can make a shield out of stop signs or cable satellites antennas
if u have a shield with u, it is ur responsability to stand in the front and protects other
for the eyes: safety glasses/goggles with ANSI z87.1 or z87+ standard are the easiest and cheapest to get, but military standard MIL-PRF-31013 is more effective. be sure to check the item actually qualifies legally for the standard
water tank: throwing rocks at it only works if the door is open and u can aim at the cops inside. be careful since they might mix water with other chemicals (like caustic soda, which produces burns in the skin and vomit) and are more likely to use disposed water. depending on the type of tank it might actually hit u so hard u fly out of ur shoes, so be careful
laser pointer: u can use them to block copsâ vision, it will save lives
arrest: if u are being arrested and u are alone, or all the people u are with are being taken with u, yell ur full name so the people watching (probably recording) can have proof that u have been detained and ur family and friends can find out
recordings: dont post ur recordings on social media, as it can lead to the arrest of the people in it (or at least blur/cover their faces). it is important to have footage of the events to help the victims injured or abused by cops though

What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):
Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I canât even read them. Right: when I try to go to someoneâs dms from their blog.
Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags theyâre in, even if they were before.
I can type things into replies, but it wonât actually post them.
Since it doesnât seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. Iâm probably getting deleted though
Pietro Maximoff One Shot
Summary: You and Pietro pretend to go on a date as part of a mission.Â
Your name: submit What is this? // <![CDATA[ document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', myHandler); function myHandler() { var v = document.body.innerHTML; var input = document.getElementById("inputTxt").value; v = v.replace(/\by\/n\b|\(y\/n\)/ig, input); document.body.innerHTML = v; } // ]]>
âYouâre wearing a dress.â
Your attention was suddenly caught by the familiar Sokovian voice, turning around on your heel to where Pietro Maximoff stood in quite a spiffy suit, his hair slicked back and his eyes gazing over your body.Â
âDid you expect me to come in sweat pants and an old t-shirt?â you asked, raising an eyebrow at him and he licked his bottom lip in a nervous manner but a small smile did come to his face.Â
âI wouldnât have been surprised,â he strode over to you, offering his hand which you reluctantly took as you were fully aware that your hand was clammy from how nervous youâd been while waiting, âdid you make the reservation?âÂ
Your mouth fell open, âI thought you were going to do that!âÂ
Pietro gave a small laugh, guiding you to the waiter at the front of the restaurant.Â
âAh, reservation for Vladimir,â he said and the waiter nodded, looking through the reservations as you elbowed Pietro in the ribs.Â
âRight this way, sir. Maâam,â the waiter gave you a small smile before leading the two of you inside, the quaint restaurant filled with customers but to your surprise, the waiter took you past all of them to a backroom that was nearly empty except for two other tables - one had a couple at the table and the other one the furthest away from the door as possible with your targets seated at it.Â
âAre you paying with cash or card?â
Pietro handed a card to the man, âcard.âÂ
Soon, the waiter walked back to the front room and you and Pietro were left alone. You had a better view of your targets, Pietroâs back unfortunately turned to them due to the seating arrangement but you knew that it was especially hard to get seats in the back room of the restaurant you were at - only the richest of the rich could get seats here.Â
âYou used Tonyâs card, didnât you?â you asked Pietro who gave a sheepish smile.Â
âOf course I did,â he smiled thankfully at the waiter who returned the card back, âwe are the ones putting our lives on the line⌠we deserve a good time.â
âHow do you suppose we have a good time when weâre supposed to be trying to figure out whether or not to start a raid on this place?â
He reached out, taking your hand from across the table and giving it a small, almost comforting squeeze.
âIâm sure weâll figure something out,â
At first, you were taken aback by the gesture but as your eyes flickered over to the men you were meant to be targeting, you saw one of them watching you suspiciously.
âDo you have eyes in the back of your head or something?â you asked him and he gave a small laugh.
âIâm full of surprises,â he then took his hand away from yours, picking up when of the menus as your had stayed where it was, a slight tingly feeling occurring, âweâre meant to be in love, remember?â
You and Pietro ended up having quite a lovely night, both of you almost forgetting that you were on a mission and that you couldnât just take Tonyâs money whenever you like. However, halfway through dinner was when Clint came through your earpiece, asking you if the two of you were done flirting and ready to get to work.
So now, you were hiding behind a flipped table, reloading a gun as you looked around for Pietro.
âHeâs outside,â Natasha yelled to you and you gave a small thankful nod, sprinting out of the scene (not before shooting a few bullets on the way out) and outside to where agents had surrounded the place.
âHave you been hurt?â one of the agents asked as you stepped over the crime tape, hearing loud gunshots from inside.
âNo, theyâre nearly done in there though,â and plus youâd get in Natashaâs way, you thought.
You found Pietro sitting just outside an ambulance, a medic just finished patching up one of his wounds and he gave you his familiar sheepish smile, indicating to you that he was just fine.
âGood first date,â you joked, taking a seat beside him and he gave a small laugh.
âYes, I even took a bullet for you,â
âItâs true love,â you looked at his side for a moment, âdid you actually take a bullet for me?â
âDid you not see me?â
âYou do kinda run really fast,â
He shrugged, âit was nothing. It didnât hit anything major and Iâm allowed to go home.â
âYou really didnât need to do that.â
Pietroâs expression turned suddenly serious, âyes, I did.â
You werenât given much time to question him before Clint was sitting beside the two of you, attending to his own wounds and talking to both of you.
âYou two actually had me questioning if youâd been dating behind our backs,â he laughed, frowning at the blood stain on his shirt and muttering about how it was going to be difficult to get out. âYou two havenât been dating in secret, have you?â
âNo, no!â you and Pietro said in unison, blushing furiously.
âAll just an act,â you said nervously, âthatâs our job, right?â
Clint laughed, sounding a bit relieved, âyeah, yeah, just a bit paranoid. Iâd just rather not walk in on the two of you making out.â
âYou never have to worry about that. Trust me.â
Lying on your couch lazily, you flicked through various TV channels, knowing that you shouldnât expect anything amazing to be on at this time of night. Getting home from missions often left you with a lot of adrenaline, especially at this time of night, meant that despite being physically exhausted, your body didnât want to sleep so you were stuck watching bad television. Pulling your blankets around you, you began to think back to the nightâs events. You knew that you were only meant to be pretending to be in love with Pietro but you couldnât help but begin to think that maybe you actually were. You liked being able to hold his hand, say cute things to him and have him being affectionate towards you but even he agreed that you two being together was something no one ever had to worry about. This made you bury your head in one of the couch pillowâs â why were you getting so caught up in this?
Halfway through a very early episode of Law and Order: SVU, your phone began to buzz on the table and you lazily reached over to pick it up. If it was Steve or Natasha telling you that you had another mission tomorrow night, you were going to be angry.
âHello?â
â(Y/N),â it was Pietro who said your name very calmly from the other end of the phone, âhow are you?â
âIâm fine â uh, how are you? Is everything okay?â
âI canât sleep. Did I wake you?â
âNo, I canât sleep either. You sound strange though⌠are you okay?â you heard Pietro suck in a breath before responding.
âYou said to Clint that tonight was all just an act and it was just part of our job⌠did you⌠did you mean that?â
You paused for a moment.
âNo.â
âOkay⌠I usually like to kiss a girl after a first date.â
You smiled a little as Pietroâs usual confident self began to appear.
âThen you can kiss me when you see me next.â
âOh lovely. Can you open your door then?â
Your eyebrows furrowed as you got off the couch, pulling your blanket with you and still holding the phone to your ear although neither of you spoke. You put your phone down momentarily, slowly unlocking your door and opening it to see Pietro standing there with his phone held to his ear, the two of you staring at one another.
âHi,â he said and you could already feel your cheeks burning up.
âHi,â
Pietro stepped forward towards you, ending the phone call and putting his phone into his pocket.
âJust a kiss,â he murmured, his hand that had left yours all tingly raising to your cheek and your arms fell limp as he pressed his lips against yours, your blanket falling around your feet. A loud fight scene broke out in Law & Order but the two of you were too caught up to pay attention to the noise, your lips moving together as you shared a sweet kiss. As Pietro pulled away, a small smile was on his face and he let out the quietest of laughs.
âClint wonât be impressed,â he murmured, rubbing his thumb across your cheek and you couldnât help but laugh as well.
âWeâll just have to be really sneaky then.â
âI wouldnât mind annoying him.â
