Im trying to build her character (◐∇◐*)

To my fellow writers.

You're allowed to call yourself a writer, regardless of how good you are at writing. You're allowed to reach for the stars, to dream of becoming the next big thing. You're allowed to write just for the heck of it.

You're allowed to call yourself a writer, regardless of why you're writing. Regardless of how insignificant you believe your writing to be, because your writing is not insignificant. Nothing that brings you joy will ever be insignificant.

All three victims were completely exsanguinated, all roughly the same age (in their thirties), two women and one man, they were all found exactly one day after their estimated time of death.

The first victim was reported missing about seventeen hours before his cause of death.

The second victim had dried blood under her fingernails, it was her own blood, but the medical examiner didn't find any scratches on her.

Inside the corpses? I don't think the M.E. checked... How would that even work?

-Greg Lestrade

Lestrade, here is my final report of the case.

My extensive research and experiments confirmed my initial judgement about what happened to the victims. Do try to keep up and use the whole of your limited mental capacity to follow my reasoning, because it's quite a long explanation, but I tried to word it so simple that even you should understand it.

When I first heard about this case, I thought the victims had been poisoned. Either with anticoagulants or rat poison, causing haemorrhage, fitting the cause of death: blood loss by internal bleeding. But as I heard that the bodies were completely exsanguinated, I had to dispel the idea entirely because poisoning doesn’t result in full exsanguination. If the victims had been poisoned, then their blood would have left their vessels and accumulated in their tissues and organs. Obviously. More importantly, anticoagulant poisons take several days until they take effect. Warfarin, for instance, shows its effect only after up to 4 days of ingestion and the victims had died in the course of 24 hours.

So I focused on the less probable, but definitely not impossible, possibility that the blood had been completely removed from the bodies by the murderer, even though there were no external wounds on the bodies like punctures or whatever.

Now how did the murderer remove their blood?

If there were no punctures to be seen on the outside, then the most logical conclusion was that they had to be on the inside of the bodies…. The murderer must have accessed a vessel and punctured through it by going in through either the intestinal or respiratory tract, accessed through their mouths. Thanks to @consultjohnwatson’s anatomical and medical knowledge, I could identify the most likely vessel. The aortic arch wraps right around the oesophagus, and would be the perfect target to bleed someone out by accessing a major vessel through the mouth. To confirm my theory, I had to convince both Molly and John to allow me to conduct some experiments….. I admit, it was quite messy, and it required a pump to suck out the blood of the deceased (for their hearts weren’t cooperating anymore, of course), but it confirmed my theory. In a living, breathing human, the body's heart might have sufficed on its own to completely pump out the blood of the body - if one punctured the aortic arch with a large enough needle before the person would’ve gone in hypovolemic shock - but “it’s quite unethical to test your theory with actual living, breathing people, Sherlock” - Boring, John. Really.

So the murderer had inserted a large enough needle through the victims mouth, down their throat and punctured through their oesophagus into the aortic arch and pumped their blood through a tube into a container and took it with them. Interesting.

Of course, the murderer would have sedated the victims, otherwise they would have fought him off - most people don’t want a needle being inserted into their oesophagus. The murderer most probably applied the narcotics either orally or transdermally. Due to the missing blood I had to resort to testing the vitreous fluids and cerebrospinal fluids for drugs, which resulted positive for fentanyl, a very strong opioid also used as an anaesthetic and applicable as a transdermal patch, which fits the requirements.

This also explains why the second victim had dried blood under her nails. She shortly woke up during the procedure because she had a higher tolerance for opioids, having been an addict herself, and somehow got her hand into her own blood that had just been removed. But she had already lost too much blood, even though she woke up again for a few seconds, it wasn't enough anymore and she still died from hypovolemia.

Now, the most boring question is: Who killed them and why? I surmised that the murderer must have medical and anatomical knowledge, because he was able to perform the blood extraction and he also needed access to fentanyl. So he had to be a trained medic…. As for his motive… Stealing blood means he needed it for something. Most likely for blood transfusion. But why kill for something so… meaningless? Especially considering there’s a national blood bank just around the corner…

Because the killer didn't have any access to the national blood bank, and his plans with the blood were not approved by the NHS either, probably because he is not an approved doctor anymore and got his medical licence revoked.

That also brings us to the timeframe of the murders. Who kills three persons within 6 six days? Obviously not a serial killer. No. Our medical expert needed the blood quickly, maybe for a specific treatment, or maybe because he was just this one week in London, leaving the country afterwards to leave no trace behind.

Those three victims were just convenient… victims of opportunity, conveniently in a time and remote place where they could vanish undetected and be exsanguinated.

With all this I conclude that our suspect is a medically trained professional, travelling around a lot, offering some sort of treatment which requires blood, and kills for it.

Check if there have been similar murders internationally, and if some doctor’s travels concured with those killings.

I already found a suspect, but I will tell you more about this personally and privately, after you already so often admonished me to not post too much information about ongoing investigations (how boring)

YOUUUU @magnumnum

is that good

if I may ask, do you have any tips or advice on how to improve drawing anatomy? ;-; I love how all your works look very expressive and dynamic and I thought maybe I could ask you, totally cool if you don’t feel comfortable answering tho!! hope you have a nice day! c:

There's a little bit from these two asks with a similar question! x x I'll take the most relevant part and paste them here :>

practice figure drawing! improving on anatomy is important since it’s the one of the foundations for drawing! learn to break down the body into shapesI like to use this site for pose references and to build speed; I spend 30 sec to a minute on each pose and focus mostly on getting the line of action and body movement. helpful vids to watch: gesture drawing x, foreshortening x, shortcuts x 

i redrew my sketches on the right to show the difference a little better :> how I’d keep these in mid would be:

Static: - seeing things head-on/straightforward - leading lines are usually horizontal or vertical - subject is usually center of the page Dynamic: - more angles/different perspective - leading lines are diagonal/curved - subject occupies the space in an interesting way static poses and compositions aren’t bad, but you do get a lot more personality from being able to play with perspective and foreshortening :> you can find some interesting poses on pinterest too if you dont know where to start! type in “poses” and there are a few dynamic ones afkjghjk

Thalia is very creative/s

Bruuuh it wont let me find out what gmail i used for this app im sobbing
