The utter tragedy of canon compliant Wayne Munson has been getting to me lately. This man who had a kid come into his life, who had never planned for such a thing, maybe didn’t want to take him in at first but did, who decided to put his everything into loving this kid, into making his one-bedroom trailer a home for this wary-eyed teenager with a buzz cut and too much knowledge of the harsh realities of the world for a middle school. Who shaped his life around loving this kid, around making him feel loved as he came out of his shell and filled up Wayne’s life with so much energy and presence. This man, who loved his kid through the dealing, and the failing, and the murder accusations. This man, who finds out that his nephew, his kid, is dead. And no matter how much he knows, whether the town knits itself back together or is still cracked open, whether or not three teenagers or the undead chief of police sit him down and tell him everything, whether he knows that Eddie died a hero or just that he didn’t die alone, none of that can change the fact that now his life is empty. He didn’t expect to get Eddie, but he never even imagined losing him.

Forensic Odontology Overview
Tumblr media
Forensic odontology is a subspecialty of dentistry that has its main focus on the identification of deceased victims. In simplest terms, there are two aims in forensic dentistry. The first one is the identification of the dead, and second is the identification of an assailant who has used his or her teeth as a weapon. But how? Let's see.
Let's start with corpse identification. Teeth can be used to identify corpses, as no two oral cavities are alike, and teeth are unique to an individual. The dental evidence of the deceased recovered from the crime scene is compared with ante-mortem records for identification. This is used in cases such as mass casualties, burn victims, or severely disfigured/decomposed corpses.
Forensic odontology can also be used to determine things like age, race, and sex. In cases where there is no blood or other DNA sources, teeth can also be used.
Age is determined by looking at X-rays of the permanent teeth and tooth roots within the bone. The crown of a tooth forms first, followed by the root, and scientists estimate age by comparing the stage of tooth formation in the X-rays and bone with known dental growth standards.
Race is found by comparing the shapes of the different teeth. Determining race using teeth isn't easy, but using common dental characteristics as indicators (like Caucasoids usually having narrow “v-” shaped arch giving rise to crowding of teeth) we can get a good guess.
To determine sex, we rely on sexual dimorphism. Generally, male teeth have significantly greater quantities of dentine than females, while female teeth are found to have greater enamel thickness than male teeth. This isn't always fully accurate, but when combined with other factors, it helps give an idea.
None of these are perfect, but they can help give us a good approximate description, which is better than none.
Now, Bite Mark analysis.
Tumblr media
There's 4 steps to bite mark analysis. Photographs, saliva swabbing, impressions, and tissue samples.
In order to make a good comparison, a balanced, color, scale photograph should be made of the defendant’s teeth (which can be used for testimony in court) and of the victim’s bite. Because the dental expert will need to know the scale shown in the picture, some method of measurement (such as a ruler or tape measure) photographed alongside the bite mark and the defendant’s teeth is necessary. A plaster cast of the defendant’s dental impressions can also be used to prepare a plastic overlay. The plastic overlay is used to mark the points of contact and forms a representation of defendant’s bite marks or a pattern of the cutting edges of defendant’s teeth. This representation can then be compared with a scaled photograph of the bite mark on the victim as a means of determining common points of identification.
If the bite area was swabbed and saliva recovered, and it was a positive match to the subject, that could help identify the assailant.
Bite analysis has its issues, as teeth marks are not always transfered accurately, and sometimes there's not enough difference in bite marks to tell reliably. Bitemark analysis is more often used for excluding someone as a potential assailant. Say the mark shows imprint of fully intact frontal incisors, and the proposed biter does not have all their front teeth. This means that the person being accused is not the probable assailant. This can also be used to tell if the bite was self-inflicted. But bite mark analysis is often not admissible due to it having been found to be unreliable in some cases. People have been rightly and falsely convicted because of it, and it can be an unreliable method for forensic examination.
And here's a little bit of interesting history I came across in my travels :)
There are many "first" uses of forensic odontology in history across the web, but as far as I can find the first documented use of teeth for identification began during 66 AD, with the Agrippina and Lollia Pauline case. (There's a bit to it, find it here.)
Recorded forensic identification in India started in 1193, where Jai Chand, a great Indian monarchy, was destroyed by Muhammad's army, and Jai Chand, Raja of Kanauji was murdered and he was identified by his false teeth.
Dr Ascor Amoedo is reputed as the father of forensic odontology and documented the first case of dental identification in which many individuals lost their lives in a disaster. 126 people were charred to death due to a fire accident in Paris 1897, and were identified using their teeth.
In 1979, a double bite mark played an important role in convicting Ted Bundy of murder as he'd bitten one of his last victims.

Just curious how do you employ your deductive methods in every day life(john)
I just observe. It is like a reflex, I cannot shut it off. Just looking at John creates an influx of data and information about his mood, his plans for that day, how he slept, his condition and many other points. His physical state, whether he is in pain, tired or hungry. Whether he had a good night's sleep depending on his posture or tension around his eyes or his shoulders. If he is planning to meet up with someone depending on his choice of clothes and aftershave on special occassions. His gait and movements show whether it is a good day or if he is in any pain. I can tell if he is worried or wants to talk about something by the furrow of his brow. When he keeps checking his phone repeatedly he is waiting for a message, for example when he is concerned about his sister not answering his texts. I can tell what he is thinking about, visible in unconscious movements like twitches, the frequency with which he licks his lips or the direction of his gaze. Whether he craves something when he keeps glancing towards it. The tone of his voice and how talkative he is can show many things. When he is fidgety and barely able to sit still in his chair, it means that he is bored and would like to go out on an adventure. Of course I can deduce many more things but I think I provided more than enough examples. I can deduce John better than anyone else, because I am very familiar with him, have spent so much time with him and analysed his behavioural patterns. Although it took me some time to truly realise what he feels for me, but sentiment is not my area of expertise after all. He is the exception, even concerning my deductions.

not sure if I should be more concerned about the fact this is an achievement to begin with or the fact I got it through completely natural gameplay LOL

Demon of Deduction
Pairing: InuKag
Rated: E
Summary:
Kagome knew, even without a glimpse, that he was watching her.
More than watching her. Studying her. Inuyasha was a master of his craft; the art of deduction had never been more beautiful than when he displayed it.
And here, in their bedroom, Inuyasha left no detail behind.
---
There was nothing Kagome loved Inuyasha deducing more than her.

Deductions from pay
Now, the payment of a Sailor did not always look very high, but for most it was enough to live on. However, the money was not always there when it was paid out. On the contrary, even then everyone had to pay a share as a levy.
All sailors had to pay 6d per month to the Greenwich Hospital. Likewise, they all had to pay 2d to the Surgeon. In addition, warrant officers had to pay a levy of 1s per month to the Chatham Chest, a fund for distressed sailors and widows.
The officers had to pay 3d per pound annum for the Officer's Widow fund. If a Sailor earned more than 60 pounds p.a., from 1799 onwards, a tax was payable, depending on how much he earned in total (max. up to 150 pounds), then up to 2s was due.
However, if clothing, tobacco or other purchasable items were bought on board, the amount due was deducted individually from the salary.

Deduction from your writing: you were a tomboy as a child growing up or you had a girlie best friend
Haha! Yes, I was very much a tomboy growing up (though my childhood was actually genderless for the most part, which could be why I'm so gender apathetic about myself these days). A lot of my clothes were hand-me-downs from family friends who lived in Germany and had kids a bit older than me, one boy and one girl, so I had whatever they sent over when they outgrew it. The burgundy corduroy dungarees were my favs though. I'd love a pair like that now!
I didn't have many friends growing up because my parents were relatively old when they had me, and their friends' children were all much much older than me, and I found it hard to make friends in school.

There is a moment, in every person’s life. The last moment that they are a child.
For some, it comes far too soon, with raised voices or after school jobs or death slipping into their life from any one of its many doors. For others, it’s a bittersweet moment, the letting go of a long and happy childhood, a golden carefree youth which slips gently away with the responsibility of independence.
But it exists for everyone, in one form or another. The last moment when they are unburdened, when they are free. The last moment when there is none of the pain of life in the back of their mind, no kernel of anxiety or grief. The last moment when they are a child.
This is such a moment. In Hawkins, Indiana. November 6th, 1983. Eight twenty-six pm. A quiet road. Three bicycles. Three children. Laughter.
(For the fourth, the boy who is not here, the moment has already come. (A seven. Words, unsaid. A flicker of the light. A split-second of concern which makes its home deep within him, and never leaves.))
But for the three children who remain, the night is warm. The stars shine above, but they do not see them. The leaves rustle in the breeze, but they do not hear them. It is the last days of summer, the moment before the phone rings. It is the edge of something.
In the next moment, one will turn away into a dark which seems slightly too deep and too empty. In the next moment, a question will be asked that will be forever regretted. In the next moment, a fate will be sealed. In the next moment, this golden joy will be shattered. But now, just for one more second, there is only each other, and in their last moment of blissful unawareness, that is all that matters.

On Social Anxiety
Heres some thoughts of someone who went from panic attacks in the bathroom to a good level of social functionality, working towards greatness. I'm not perfect (well, I mean, I might be, but that's besides the point), but here's some stuff that helped.
First off, no one cares!! No one cares. You may be the main character of your own life, but not everyone else's. No one thinks as much about you as much as you probably think they do, and I'm not saying that to be mean. Think about it. How often do you really give an in-depth look to the people around you? Probably not very often, and definitely not with the scrutiny you give yourself.
People are much too self-absorbed to think about you. No one notices much outside of themselves, and if they do, they're not going to devote much time thinking about it.
Play pretend. Pretend everyone who's looking at you because you're amazing. People staring at you after you raised your hand in class? Because your question was so smart, everyone else wished they had asked. Got a look for your outfit? Because you look spectacular. No other reason.
No one can stop you from pretending things. Like, literally no one. So why not? Why not be a little delusional about it?
Chances are, you're being a bit dramatic. Would you think the same thoughts you think other people think to someone else? Say you're at the park and you trip. You think, "Oh no, everyone thinks I look dumb and clumsy." Chances are, no one saw it. And if they did, they probably just thought, "Oh, hope that persons ok." And went back to what they were doing, never to think about it again.
Think about it this way. Two people go to the mall, one in entirely scene goth outfit, and the other in a coquette/pink fit. Both of these people will be judged. Someone might look at the goth and think, "Oh wow, they're way too overdressed, and I hate their outfit, too black!" And they might look at the person in coquette and think."What a Lana del wannabe! The bows look too childish."
My point is that no matter what you wear to the mall, you will be judged by someone. So if you'll be judged anyways, why not go in what you're comfortable in? Anything serves cunt if you have the courage.
Above all, confidence is key. If you walk like you're supposed to be there, no one will question it. People won't question you if you don't look like you're questioning yourself. I don't care where you are or what you're doing, do it as confidently as possible, and you'll be okay.
And last but not least, here's a really random tip that helped me. Pick a fictional character who doesn't give a fuck, and pretend to be them. It can be anyone, as long as they're confident and maybe a bit out there. You could choose someone like Sherlock, Tony Stark, Jack Sparrow, Hannibal. I chose Klaus Hargreeves, and in social situations where I felt anxious, I'd think, "Would Klaus be too shy to wear a trench coat in the library? I think the fuck not."
Tumblr media
I understand you can't fix social anxiety in a night, but hopefully, this helped a little. Enjoy your day/night and remember that chocolate milk fixes everything. And if it doesn't then at least you also have a glass of chocolate milk.

Let the Games begin!
A man has been found dead in an empty room. There is one window and one door. A large puddle of water is near by. How did this man die and by what means?
I think I already have an idea. Did the puddle of water in the room originate from a glass of water?
