The latest Hunter: the parenting ep was so fucking cool, i think I was watching it for 2/2.5 hours with a friend cause we were analysing it so much. Forgetting the plot and all the amazing lore jam-packed into that ep, the ANIMATION? Holy shit! I didn't know that it could get better AND keep its quirkiness!

Who is the Ghoul analysis after the cut!

Okay so there are two forces at play in that house, throughout the whole episode there are hints of a werewolf - in the first room, that is the dinning room, there is a wardrobe that has scratch marks and the door underneath the first floor stairs(the one that big D came through) ALSO has them. Oh, it's also a FULL MOON.

Now, the ghoul and the warewolf could be working independently, completely unaware of eachother, but it is my theory that the warewolf is Matilda and the ghoul is Amanda.

There is a little time jump that skipped some interactions. After Elise stole the smokes and keys (staff access) from Giles, she must have given them to Grim. She, in turn, went to the Security room through the vents (she was said to be good at going through them and they said that the security room is the most ventilated room). In the map it is said that Matilda came to the kitchen from the security room and she has acquired Giles' smokes, meaning that she prob caught Grim sneaking and Grim gave her his smokes in exchange for silence.

Why was Matilda going to the Security Room? And moreover, when Kitten came to the kitchen Amanda said that they could let him in to the Security room (Matilda being against the idea). When the topic of the Hunting came around, neither of them really looked scared. Amanda was just standing there, looking a bit sad or maybe disapprovingly at Matilda, and Matilda was a bit disgruntled, but nothing more really.

Matilda also brought out the subject of "Is the Ghoul really that bad?", which is honestly sending red flags all around for me, to be honest. Sure, she might genuinely be afraid and is trying to be strong, but, honestly? She looked sad.

I honestly do not know how Matilda would have gotten access to the Archives. She couldn't have stolen Remoud's keys cause D stole them seconds before unlocking the door, sure as hell couldn't have stolen Occam's so that leaves Lord Fatigue and the doctor.

Lord Fatigue was with the boys and there was such a small window of opportunity to yoink the keys that it seems impossible, but the doctor is the other option and she hasn't gotten that much screen time, plus it would make sense to get rid of the Lord later. So I'm sticking with Lord Fatigue being the one who got mugged. Again, this part of my theory is very loose, I couldn't find any evidence.

I want to call attention to how fucking furious Matilda looked after they found Occam incapacitated.

I don't think that is the face someone being sad that her employer is knocked down a peg and won't be able to pay her on time hhh. Amanda's expression is on point, she looks terrified but I will choose to believe that she is seeing the consequences of her friend's actions, in order to help her. Remember, Amanda is the Ghoul and Matilda the Warewolf.

Matilda's expression could also be a symptom of a withdrawal. Now, I will be honest. I know the bare minimum of the lore surrounding Vampire: The Masquerade and my friend couldn't find the exact thing that happens to warewolves during a full moon in this setting, so I'm basing this on pure speculation, but she could be trying to refrain from transmutating and, without her smokes, that could be more of a mental feat.

Moving on, the most damning information that we got out of the episode was after Amanda was fried, she said Baba Yaga. Holy fuck. With how the Arcanum is, there is no way in hell they would let the "Help" know of such a powerful vampire. I really couldn't think of another way she would acquire this knowledge if she isnt connected to the Masquerade in any way.

When the gang went to the pub, Matilda looked tilted as all hell.

The Ghoul is currently incapacitated, there's no way in hell that Amanda did this. This kill was the work of the Warewolf, with how fucking violent it was. Connecting this with my previous conjecture that Lord Fatigue was the one that got his keys stolen, he is a fucking Lycanthropy professor! I think, in Matilda's eyes, he was a threat and she wanted to get rid of him because it was only a matter of time before he found out. Plus, she had to turn at some point and she would have already been furious that they have been torturing her friend.

It was a golden opportunity as well. From the beginning of the episode, we know that Spit has been experiencing Delirium, the fear that comes with seeing the supernatural and that fear is accompanied with memory loss of the actual event. Git was locked in the bathroom and so Matilda could go ham on taking her rage out on Lord Fatigue.

Whoo! This has been a long one, lastly I want to point out some small things that I appreciated.

Big D going into the Harry Potter room in order to investigate the claw marks.

Marcus and Harry being complete bros and going to lift instead of dealing with an emotion situation.

Boy

Brock not sitting down when they were all gathered in the Dining room at the beginning and later saying that his kneecaps were flattened.

D's booty shorts

Honestly, this series is amazing, I don't think I've ever watched something this high quality with this much love, thought and humanity being put behind it. The work that Alfabusa and the gang are putting into making every single frame a banger is phenomenal! I really do not understand how they keep on improving.

What did you guys think? Am I mentally deranged, or am I and my friend onto something? Please tell me what you think of my lil Game Theory and if I missed anything!

Algae and Forensics

If you watch a lot of crime shows, you may have seen algae being used to help solve a crime. In Dexter, the algae on the victims was used to determine the port they came from, which led them to Dexter. Or Hannibal, where the algae led the FBI to Miriam Lass. A lot of crime shows play forensics up, but algae actually can be an important tool for helping solve a crime.

The presence of algae, or lack thereof, can tell us several things. Is there algae present in the closed organs of the decedent? If so, that tells you they were drowned or whether or not they were taken to a second location. What kind of algae? This can help us determine fairly accurately where the victim was drowned. This doesn't include bathwater or water with too few diatoms, such as ice water.

But how? Let's look into that.

First off, I will be using the term "Diatoms." If you are unaware, diatoms are a type of photosynthesising algae, so I will be using the terms interchangeably.

There are over 15,000 species of algae living in brackish, fresh water, and sea water. Ponds, lakes, rivers, oceans, and coastal areas all have different diatom communities, and using that we can identify where the victim might have been killed.

When you drown, liquid is aspirated into the lungs and enters the bloodstream through alveoli. This lets particles such as sediments, microorganisms, or pollen to be carried to organs and deposited in capillaries. This means that diatoms can be found in the organs of a drown victim.

So, if diatoms are found in distant organs or closed systems and are of a great abundance, the cause of death is most likely due to ante-mortem drowning. This lets us know that the victim was drowned and was not just dumped posthumously.

Thanks to diatoms acid resistant sillica shell, they can easily be separated from tissue using acid-digestive extractions, and they are detectable in burned or putrified corpses. This means that drowning as a cause of death could be determined in a burnt victim that was taken to a second location.

Algae is also being researched for its use as a time of death indicator. A study was conducted by forensic scientists, who found the diversity of algae on piglet bodies in water tended to decrease over time with a peak in diatoms recorded after 1-8 days of decomposition. This kind of work remains largely experimental, but it has the potential to be used for establishing a timeline since death (or submersion) in water.

Algae can be useful for linking criminals to their crime scenes, as diatoms can transfer onto clothing or footwear. Comparing microflora with the diatoms found could also give you a general area or type of water they were drowned in, as a swamp would have different algae than say, the ocean.

This evidence isn't damning in and of itself, but all evidence at a crime scene is valuable for solving the crime, and as such, algae can be an important part of forensics.

Thanks for reading! Have a good day and a cup of tea :)

I Just laughed to myself thinking that, in case the MC solved some supernatural problems, the headlines on the paper would say "The Crazy kid does it again!"

On a similar note, how would the cast react to this kind of publicity? I imagine Sal would die inside and I'm all for It >:)

Headline: “suspected murderer solves crime? Or did someone take the fall?”

Imre: he’s totally not jealous that mc is getting his recognition. Not at all. He’s smiling, look at that pearly smile. It’s totally fine.

Nia: she believes any recognition from the town is as important as winning a prize at a country fair. But it’s refreshing to see mc not be vilified for once

Lorcan: doesn’t give a fuck. Not in an asshole way, in a “I have no opinion on whatever goes on with these town people”

Sally: spoilers but you’re right in that he wouldn’t be happy

Percy: was their a prize you get? If so I helped a lot in the investigation. Actually mc couldn’t have done it without my keen intellect

I just got an ad for a game where Pedro Pascal is a detective trying to solve a mystery.

And my brain immediately made up a fake scenario where Pedro Pascals detective character is part of the Knives Out universe. So there is this mystery with two opposing / interested parties, who would like the case to be resolved for their own motives. One side hires Benoit Blanc and the other side hires another private investigator (Pedro Pascal!). They are constantly running into each other. But they both try to solve the mystery on their own, because they both would like to be the first one to solve it before the other does so. Funny banter ensues.

Can someone write this? In my mind, it would be hilarious.

Or is there already fanfiction like this? Does anyone have recs?

Stories of unprecedented events, odd occurrences, the feeling that something isn’t quite right always sends a delightful shiver of suspense down my spine.

Something eerie and momentarily heart stopping makes an appearance through the thick air of a small town. Everyone is on high alert, rumors are spoken amongst hushed voices, authority figures are denying “outlandish” claims.

Portraying stories like this is though commonly used, incredibly exciting. It never fails to leave me at the edge of my seat in anticipation.

Sherlock investigates (and loses his love)

Part 1

Summary: Elisabeth seeks out Sherlock to solve the case of her dead lover.

Warnings: talk of dead body, Sherlock being a little menace, (Watson being lil bit sus), bad talking of the police(tbh they kinda deserve it in this one), kinda like fanfiction but not really idk

Word Count: ~2K (it took so much to write this wth)

Author’s Note: This is my very first writing, so if anyone will read this (which I highly doubt) pls be kind. It’s translated from Hungarian, cuz I had to write this for smt else, but thought why not put it up here in English, see if anyone is interested. It’s written for a play for the stage, so don’t expect too much. Anyways, I tried my best, comments and likes are very appreciated, and I will post the second part when my brain can actually function. (also shoutout to @s0meth1ngs for frocing me to do it ykyk<3)

1. Scene: Elisabeth seeks out Sherlock to solve the case of her dead lover.

Location: Sherlock’s flat

Characters: Sherlock (S), Watson (W), Elisabeth (E), Mrs. Hudson (H)

*Sherlock and Watson run into each other at the street of their house, both of them going home, Watson looks a little out of breath, he may have been running*

S- Ah, Watson, what a surprise. Just not on your way home too, are you? Tell me, have you been running?

W- But yes, yes. I just wanted to talk to you about yesterday’s case and the press conference following that. […] *here they fade in the scene, but continue to talk. We look at the other side of the door to the house, where Mrs. Hudson is cleaning at the moment.*

H- *hums to herself while cleaning*

S- *comes into the apartment with Watson and take off their coats* …Well yes my dear friend, it’s a terrible case, but in the end it is solved finally: the culprit behind bars, Mycroft can be happy that he has ‘successfully closed another case’.

W- I still don’t understand why you didn’t say anything, you just let your brother make the statement, reap the rewards and take all the glory with it.

S- Because, dear Watson, I don’t care at all about that sort of thing. If he really wants to, my brother can get all the fame he wants, if he had missed out on getting the sharp wits.

* during the whole conversation they go and sit down in the common room and continue where they left off*

W- If you want it like that…so be it. Who am I to say otherwise? But back to the case, how did you even know that this Fosco, or what’s-his-name, was the felon, not his twin, who we suspected all along?

S- Only you suspected it, Watson, I merely considered the possibility that he may have done it. To answer your question: the matter is very simple, the one who did it was left-handed, just like Fosco. And the proof for that is, that when we visited him to question him, he was addressing a letter, and of course, he had the pen in his left hand. An the corpse has stab wounds that only a left-handed person could have inflicted with such force. Therefore, Rosco couldn’t have done it.

W- I understand everything now. Wait, how did you know that?

S- Watson, you’ve been getting more and more inattentive lately, I’m afraid. You’re not sick, are you?

W- No of course I’m not! I don’t know where you get this from. *he scratches his head awkwardly* - By the way, do you have any new cases already?

S- Ten or twelve, but none of them interesting for me in particle. All of them are important, you see, but still, they are completely uninteresting. I did realise, that with smaller, more unimportant matters, there is a real opportunity with observation, for a quick analysis of cause and effect relationships; after all, this is the main coefficient of the investigation. These cases are all the same: there is nothing special about them. Although it’s possible that we will get something better in a few minutes, since I think someone is coming to us right now at this moment.

*meanwhile from the window, Sherlock stares at the other side of the road, where a woman is crossing the road and hurries to their door*

*Meanwhile there is a knocking on the door, Mrs. Hudson opens the door*

H- Good morrow, dear, how can I help you? *she says kindly, smiling*

E- excuse me! Does Mr. Sherlock Holmes live here? I need to talk to him urgently! *says out of breath because she has been running, and a little teary because she has been crying*

H- Of course darling, come on in. *she walks her in to where Sherlock is*

*Mrs. Hudson knocks, then opens the door*

H- Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson, if I understand it correctly, you have a new client, can I let her in?

S- I think so too... Mrs. Hudson, ah, I was going to ask you to bring us some tea! *turns to her, away from the window*

H- I would like to remind you, dear Mr. Holmes, that I’m still just your landlady, not your housekeeper.

W- Alright, thank you Mrs. Hudson, I will make the tea myself, please let in this client in question. *he says in a kind of conciliatory tone*

H- Thank you doctor, I will send the lady right in.

W- Do so, Mrs. Hudson. *with that Mrs. Hudson exists, then Elisabeth enters*

W- Just come in, dear. Come, sit down. *he says to Elisabeth, pointing at an empty armchair*

E- Oh, thank you very much for being able to see me in such short notice. Something terrible happened to me, I just-… *she starts but Sherlock interrupts her sentence*

S- First your name, Miss, please. Without it I can do very little for you. *he said with a sarcastic smile, Elisabeth is a little surprised by this*

E- Oh, true, howrude I am. My name is Elisabeth.

S- Elisabeth…?

E- …Elizabeth McCarthy… *she says a little nervously*

W- Alright Miss Elisabeth, *with that he looks at Sherlock sideways, with a ‘why is it so important right now?’ look, then turns back* - please tell us what happened.

E- Thank you! As I wanted to say, this morning I just went over to James, but when he didn’t open the door, I got suspicious, so I tried to open it, but when I saw that it was ajar, I knew right away that something was wrong here. So I opened the door but found no one home. But then I heard his voice behind me. He said he went for flowers for our little rendezvous today and forgot to lock the door on his way out. I immediately remembered our phone conversation last week, when he invited me to have an early lunch together. Then we went to this little restaurant, not very well known, a little hidden place. Well, the point is that after we finished the lunch, during the dessert, my poor darling suddenly got a hold of his chest and fell off his chair. *she starts sniffling* And all I noticed after this is the head waiter calling for a doctor, then someone running for the police. *she starts sobbing, Watson gives her his handkerchief from his suit pocket, and the girl thanks him*

S- And? He died? *he says unamusedly*

W- Don’t be stupid Sherlock, of course he’s dead. *snapps at him Watson quickly*

E- Y-Ye-es! *she sobs*

S- Tell me, who was this James to you?

W- I would like to know that too… *at this Sherlock turns his towards him, because he found his friend’s sentence and tone interesting,then he turns back to Elisabeth*

E- James is my fiancé… Well, he was my fiancé.

W- Very unfortunate…

S- Tell me, why did you come to me exactly? Why not to the police?

E- Because I don’t trust them. I don’t think they can solve the case properly. I don’t trust their professionalism.

S-So you suspect murder?

E- Mr. Holmes! James was a good-looking young man. What do you think are the chances of a heart attack ?!

W- In fact, you wouldn’t even know how many…

S- Indeed! But let’s get back to the subject. Why don’t you trust the - oh how did you say it? - Ah yes, ‘the police’s professionalism’?

*Elisabeth was a bit surprised by this, she didn’t really know what to say, she didn’t wants them to find out about her father’s identity*

E- Well because… My father always said that the police don’t really care, and that they do an awful job at solving cases correctly and catching the real bad guy. And that they are incompetent idiots and employ brutes.

S- Interesting… So, why did you come to me?

E- Because I’ve heard a lot about you. You appeared here and there in the newspapers too, so I thought you were the ideal person who could help me. Please, tell me you will help me! *she puts together her hands like she was praying, and asked Sherlock like that*

W- Yes, Sherlock, will you help her? *with a questioning look in his eyes he turns to the one in question*

S- I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, please provide the address of the restaurant where the deceased died. And while we are at it, the address of his apartment too, if you know it, of course.

E- Of coure! I’ll also write my contact information here, in case it is needed. *she writes down the said things on a little piece of paper, that she hands over to him* - Thank you very much! I don’t know how I can thank you for your kindness!

S- Don’t bother with that now, you will get to it later. Now the important thing is that you finally calm down and go to the police so that they can send the coroner and a couple of crime scene investigators to the restaurant, because unfortunately, we will need them.

E- I’m calmer, knowing you will help. As for the police, they are already at the scene. But again, thank you very much! *with that, she stands up, shakes the men’s hands and leave the room*

W- Interesting case. Tell me, will you accept the offer?

S- Tell me Watson, you really haven’t been paying attention to me from the beginning of our conversation? As I said before, the most insignificant cases can be the most interesting ones.

W- Oh, yes, true. However, what you say is not entirely true, since I did listen. Please tell me why the girl’s last name is so important? Even the blind could see that she was grieving. Why did you ask her about such nonsense?

S- That, dear Watson, is because the name McCarthy belongs to no other than Irish mob boss Connor McCarthy. That’s why, my friend. /le shock/

W- Oh I see.

S- Come on Watson, we have a case to solve! *with that he picked up his coat and run out of the room, with Watson running after him*

*they bump into Mrs. Hudson in the hallway, almost knocking over the old lady*

S- Tea is not needed anymore, Mrs. Hudson! *says while briskly walking down the stairs towards the doors*

H- But, what happened again?

W- Nothing Mrs. Hudson, don’t bother yourself please, we have a new case, don’t wait for us, we are coming late! *and they are out on the street, and away they go*

S- Taxi!!! *he shouts, but this only could be heard lightly because of the closed door*
