#since there’s a murder investigation

[koushisun]

krisssss, here to peep on what you've been up to these days?

also, the rb's of decision to leave look INCREDIBLE. have you watched it? worth watching?

OMG EMI HELLO!!! ah, mostly i’ve just been working! saving up money to go back to school in the fall! still trying to figure out what i wanna study (you’d think after a few years i might narrow it down but nope 😭) but recently i’ve taken an interest in urban design/city planning! mostly in regards to sustainable cities and things like that! how about you? i hope you’ve been well friend!!! <333

and oh my godddd yes decision to leave was great! the cinematography was absolutely stunning, probably one of my favorite movies visually!

i will say it felt a bit slow at times for me, but i think that was partially bc there was no full OST behind it. (it’s like 2.5 hours lol) but like, overall it was a good movie! though, the plot does center on infidelity so i get it if it’s not something you’d vibe with!

tl;dr: decision to leave has fantastic cinematography, and i personally liked the story a lot! but i probably wouldn’t recommend it to someone who is looking for a casual watch lol

I think an underappreciated aspect of s1 of Elementary is Joan being like “ugh grisly murders? dangerous crimes? other bizarre problems and antics my client is getting up to? Can’t wait to be done with all this” and turning around and getting so invested in solving the case. Like no wonder Sherlock was offering her an apprenticeship by the end of the season, despite what she said Joan was not only highly skilled but also very interested in Sherlock’s work.

Lol for some reason Reddit gets HEATED about whether or not Mike would get a prison sentence for shooting Emily. When I weigh in on this, I try to answer based on would he, not should he since the question matters.

Loooooong story short, it’s hard to tell. It really depends on other, determinate factors of the game. I think a jury would have a hard time getting him for cold-blooded murder if Sam, Ashley, or Chris was alive to corroborate that he thought Emily would turn and that none of them had read the diary yet. If Josh becomes a wendigo and is found in the mines, Mike’s case is much stronger. If Mike saw Jess with a torn-off jaw or Chris’s decapitated head, his self-defense plea looks more reasonable. If he has claw-marks on his neck or missing fingers, that helps his case look more sympathetic. If this is sole-survivor Mike, he’s in worse trouble.

The issue is that there is not a legal precedent for if we find out that Wendigos exist and learn that someone preemptively killed someone based on false assumptions on them. Obviously, there’s little relevant to something like that in the list of things that constitute a self-defense plea. And we need to remember that a jury would not be able to analyze the actual scene like we can, only piece things together based on evidence. To them, it would all look very grey, and it would be hard not to have any doubts.

Now, I think the cops WANT to charge Mike with murdering Emily (in his interviews), but that’s before they look in the mines or really explore Blackwood at all. Just Josh existing as a partially-formed wendigo in the mines helps Mike a lot.

still believe that the funniest most incorrect thing i got wrong about disco elysium before playing it was thinking that jean was the union leader. that he was evrart claire (or edgar claire). or alternatively that he worked in the post office or something.

[dangans-ur-ronpas]

it's only when i've already started laying down the murder scene that i realize i have not left nearly enough hinting clues so now i gotta rlly go hard during the investigation scenes

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

It's 4am and I cannot go to sleep because I have half an hour left in my book, and it's a murder mystery, and I need answers

[teiasviago]

also my dad called me out the other day on having a crush on lucy lawless but it’s like can you find fault in that??? it’s lucy fucking lawless!!! i had the hots for her in those episodes of txf s9 that she appeared in.

I knew full well I shouldn't play Baldur's Gate after 11 pm but I played from like 11 pm to 3 am

I haven't been playing as much in general mainly because I know it will take up HUGE blocks of time (I would have kept playing except I got to a good stopping point [my party died]) and that honestly frightens me a little for whatever reason

I think if left utterly to my own devices I would probably play like 8+ hours a day

[the-casbah-way]

if the sheriff of this random american town that i emailed over a year ago now in regards to an abduction case i studied in forensics class could get back to me that would be brilliant. but whatever girl

[unproduciblesmackdown]

woah... that's some premium human (kittycat?) heart in conflict with itself

(fr everyone in lackadaisy is kittycats to me lmao. going like, whoa, neat humansona ideas....)

and also fr like everyone get in on "mordecai killed atlas even though of course he didn't do it b/c he Wanted to: bet on it" if only for the fun drama of it all....it Is fun & funny to me that like, sure there's only so many major characters, and sure there's no incorrect one to point to like "wow what a delight" but i wasn't really That previously aware that mordecai is like a fan fave like omg the bad bitches (especial popularity) he pulled by being autistic :'] we just don't expect to see it lmao. like this theory should also be more popular then if even just by virtue of that premium kittycat heart in conflict with itself material it supplies. pointing at mordecai like haha he's sooo upset about all this and That Is Why He Quit, not to go investigate marigold which he's also just said he Wasn't doing until just now. we've seen the [oh grief? besot? interesting] bonus material....not that i don't think most people do imagine that of course mordecai has a good amount of emotional investment in things driving him here, but this does ramp it up which i think also works as an argument in its favor; like i'd be inherently more skeptical about any theory that required mordecai to actually care less about things lol than about any that gives him more personal emotional motivation

truly like "we know mordecai wouldn't want to kill atlas..." (agreed) "...so he can't have been the one to kill him" like first of all lol no way is it a Writeoff anyways, like we've got a mystery here but we Won't imagine ways in which [nobody could ever kill someone they didn't want to kill] wouldn't apply? second of all: Think Of The Drama Of Him Killing Him Even Though He Wouldn't Want To

[six-of-ravens]

was enjoying the Lost in Panama podcast but episode 6 went really off the rails. now the journalists are very dramatically trying to break into some gangster's backyard, bc an elderly woman told them her son was killed bc he saw the girls the day before they disappeared (??) in said gangster's car??? and apparently this somehow led to the idea that the girls are buried under his mango tree. I really don't think this case has anything to do with drug cartels. like, they're not going to go through the trouble of intercepting these girls in the woods, leading them back to that one guys house secretly, killing them, and then faking weeks of phone and camera evidence and strategically burying tiny bits of bone along the river when it would be easier to just destroy their belongings and bodies. I mean, it's the fucking rainforest, people disappear and are never found all the time.

also, it's been EIGHT YEARS what do you think you're gonna find under this tree??? a fucking headstone???

A murder mystery film set in a medieval village. After an outbreak of plague, the villagers make the decision to shut their borders so as to protect the disease from spreading (see the real life case of the village of Eyam). As the disease decimates the population, however, some bodies start showing up that very obviously were not killed by plague.

Since nobody has been in or out since the outbreak began, the killer has to be somebody in the local community.

The village constable (who is essentially just Some Guy, because being a medieval constable was a bit like getting jury duty, if jury duty gave you the power to arrest people) struggles to investigate the crime without exposing himself to the disease, and to maintain order as the plague-stricken villagers begin to turn on each other.

The killer strikes repeatedly, seemingly taking advantage of the empty streets and forced isolation to strike without witnesses. As with any other murder mystery, the audience is given exactly the same information to solve the crime as the detective.

Except, that is, whenever another character is killed, at which point we cut to the present day where said character's remains are being carefully examined by a team of modern archaeologists and historians who are also trying to figure out why so many of the people in this plague-pit died from blunt force trauma.

The archaeologists and historians, btw, are real experts who haven't been allowed to read the script. The filmmakers just give them a model of the victim's remains, along with some artefacts, and they have to treat it like a real case and give their real opinion on how they think this person died.

We then cut back to the past, where the constable is trying to do the same thing. Unlike the archaeologists, he doesn't have the advantage of modern tech and medical knowledge to examine the body, but he does have a more complete crime scene (since certain clues obviously wouldn't survive to be dug up in the modern day) and personal knowledge from having probably known the victim.

The audience then gets a more complete picture than either group, and an insight into both the strengths and limits of modern archaeology, explaining what we can and can't learn from studying a person's remains.

At the end of the film, after the killer is revealed and the main plot is resolved, we then get to see the archaeologists get shown the actual scenes where their 'victims' were killed, so they can see how well their conclusions match up with what 'really' happened.

💚🏳️‍🌈🇲🇽 This pride month I want us to remember Jesús Ociel

[Plain text: This pride month I want us to remember Jesús Ociel]

Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo (1984-2023) was the very first non-binary person in Latin America to become an electoral magistrate, being a member of the Electoral Tribunal of Aguascalientes in Mexico since October 2022. They also received the first birth certificate to have the sex registered as Non-Binary, a big achievement in the recognition of Non-Binary people.

Amongst other things, they defended trans youth, gay marriage, the fair hiring of LGBTQ+ people in the INE and overall pushed for a public acceptance and the stop of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. Jesús was known for going to work with high heels, makeup and their iconic fan with the rainbow flag, often carrying the non-binary flag too, and they fought to give visibility to non-binary people. They won the hearts of thousands.

They are considered a very important figure for the LGBTQ+ movement, specially in Latin America, as they fought very hard to defend the rights of it, both socially and politically.

They were found dead with their partner, Dorian Daniel Herrera, in the 13th of November of 2023 in Aguascalientes, in their home. The prosecutor’s office affirms it was due to a fight the two of them had, but many say it was a hate crime; the murder of activists are not too uncommon in Mexico, and even more considering their gender identity and sexuality. The ‘crime of passion’ judgement is also often put when the death of an LGBTQ+ person happens.

Either way, their death has sparked movements to punish hate crimes, and their figure remains as a symbol of hope for a better future. Mexico has a long way to go for LGBTQ acceptance, but their actions have pushed towards that goal and their memory continues to push forward. I recommend you investigate further about them if you have the time.

And in your fight for LGBTQ+ rights and your celebrations this pride month, please do not forget about Jesús Ociel.

“We are, we exist, we resist and we go for the spaces that by right correspond us and that historically have been denied to us.”

- Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo

Descanse en paz, magistrade 💚 acá a usted no se le olvida
