Billy did not oversleep. In fact, he's been getting little to no sleep. Billy has been working on an old case on missing people and his team decided to put the case back in the archives. There wasn't enough evidence to solve it and he should be working on other stuff. Luckily he had the rest of the day off, so he quickly went to pick up Renee.

Yep that was Charlie in the background and he's showing off his new haircut to Renee, he's a bit self-absorbed 😂 but he's happy to see her again and is excited to show the spice festival that's in town!

just fyi if someone tells you they were in a cult, “which cult?” is literally never an appropriate reaction. neither is “that’s so cool, i love true crime!”. hope this helps <3

the impact of crime fiction !!
step into the world of crime fiction, where detectives chase elusive killers and villains lurk in the shadows !! from bestselling novels to blockbuster movies, crime fiction captivates us with its gripping narratives and morally complex characters. but how does it influence our perceptions of crime, law enforcement, and justice ??
🔍 historical evolution:
crime fiction has a super rich history, tracing back to ancient bible tales (one thousand and one nights) and evolving over centuries. from sherlock holmes to hard-boiled (edgy) detectives, the genre reflects societal changes and cultural shifts, shaping our understanding of justice and human nature !!
Tumblr media
💬 critiques and controversies:
while crime fiction provokes thought and sparks dialogue, it's not without controversy. critics question its portrayal of violence and the glamorization of criminality (2012 Aurora Theater shooting, the suspect called himself "the joker"), yet the genre continues to thrive, captivating audiences and sparking important discussions about social issues.
Tumblr media
💡 benefits of crime fiction:
crime fiction isn't just entertainment- it inspires empathy, promotes critical thinking, and sheds light on pressing social issues !! Even recruits drawn to law enforcement through its romanticized portrayals bring passion, creativity, and dedication to their roles.
(i'm majoring in criminal justice bc of hannibal nbc 😭)
Tumblr media
📝 conclusion:
crime fiction serves as a lens through which we explore the complexities of crime and justice. by engaging with its narratives, we gain valuable insights into human nature, morality, and the challenges of navigating moral ambiguity in society !!

anyway as I was saying - as an extremely avid informational true crime content consumer & enthusiast for social justice & psychology & understanding abnormal behavior; one reason it hurts to see “true crime” painted as some sort of “cringey” or icky interest is the blatant misunderstanding of the many TYPES of true crime informational content out there & the fact that different people engage with different content for different reasons. (turns out I had a lot to say about this tonight click read more for rambling on why this topic is important & discussion of how to curate good information in a productive & respectful way that helps victims & families)
it’s far more worthwhile imo to discuss the manner in which information is presented & the motivation for sharing it & to actually discuss the facts of cases than to criticize anyone who has an interest in understanding violent crime - something we HAVE to try to understand because it’s a fact of life that it happens.
I don’t watch most Netflix true crime documentaries because beyond often being thoughtless & insensitive, I don’t have time to watch 8 hour long episodes sensationalizing & dramatizing information that could be shared in a factual logical manner within an hour or two. I curate the creators I listen to carefully for those that I see doing their research.
if you want advice on finding trustworthy & ethical true crime researchers - green flags for me are things like raising money for worthy organizations such as ncmc, collaborating with the families of victims whose cases aren’t being taken seriously by the authorities, & presenting information that is factual rather than excitedly sensationalizing. red flags are things like theorizing way too much based on circumstantial evidence, being too much of a cop dick sucker, glorifying the actions of violent criminals such as thinking the killer is cute, & making too many jokes (I get that dark humor is a thing I love dark humor but joking too much when presenting this kind of serious information is a red flag).
my personal favorite creators - Kendall Rae (she probably does the most collaborating with victim families & raising money for good causes of any YouTuber I follow & she’s just very respectful with how she presents information), Eleanor Neale (she’s adorable & her content is always presented in a very fascinating & informative way. sometimes she can be a bit insensitive about mental health topics imo but her information is well researched & her freaky Friday series also includes just interesting bizarre stories not always true crime), Sherilyn Dale (she’s probably my favorite YouTuber for subjective reasons like I just enjoy her presence & the way she shares information is respectful & factual but it still feels like a conversation with a friend. She can be on the pro cop side but only in situations when it’s warranted because she enjoys discussing good detective work & you can cancel me if you want but I think that’s worthwhile - & she will call police out on their shit too. Her analysis of interrogations are some of my favorite videos as someone with a psychology adjacent background), Brooke McKenna is also really good for very factual straightforward stories told in a respectful manner. I like Danelle Hallen too & I think her stuff is well researched but she can be a little on the pro cop side for my taste I think mostly because she lets her audience pressure her into not being too anti cop. I watch her when I’m all caught up on everyone listed before her because I do think she has good information.
i hate those posts that act like it’s ridiculous & fear mongering to care about spreading awareness about true crime & trying to understand why it happens. these things happen. there are awful violent people in this world & whether you like it or not we need to be aware of this & try to help victims of crime & prevent violent crime. However I think there’s a type of true crime content that encourages people to be disgusted by the topic as a whole & anyone with an interest in it & that type of content SHOULD be criticized.
this entire post came about because I watched Sherilyn Dale’s video on Luka Magnota tonight & found it fascinating & informative & I love that she shared all this information about this horrible man in a concise logical factual manner that showed compassion for the people & animals harmed.
I saw comments saying that she shared the information in a way that was accessible in a way the Netflix documentary was not & i STRONGLY agree. She praised the documentary in her video & I guess I can’t personally speak to whether it’s any good if you keep watching because I actually felt sick to my stomach & had to turn it off very early on but I think the fact alone that she shared in one concise video what the show took a series to convey says something about the sensational nature. Also she explained what happened while being compassionate & thoughtful & giving warnings while my understanding is that the documentary shows an uncomfortable amount of footage that probably does not need to be shown to inform people what happened.
idk “sensationalizing” is a tricky word that probably gets overused when describing true crime content but I just think there’s something to be praised about sharing the facts, analyzing what happened & not making it all too “cinematic” or something.
this has been a rambling post because I finally got to learn about a case I’ve been curious about for a while without watching a documentary that I….did Not want to watch & it gave me a lot of thoughts on true crime content & how & for what reasons it’s presented & consumed. okay bye

Graham’s mental state shocked his sister when he visited her that evening. She later described it as both ‘heart-rending and traumatic, recalling that she mistakenly thought he had been drinking when he arrived, due to seeming “a bit wobbly”.’ He sat down and tried to make conversation for quarter of an hour, then stood up abruptly and mumbled that he was leaving. Winifred asked him what was wrong and implored him to sit down and talk over a cup of tea.
To her alarm, Graham burst into tears, crying noisily, and was unable to speak. She did her best to comfort him, but it took a long time before he managed to blurt out something that came as ‘an immense revelation’ to her: ‘He said he was lonely and could not “get close to people”. I attempted to break his depression by suggesting a number of conventional things that might help – such as joining a night school. He shook his head. “No,” he said, and I shall never forget his words. “Nothing like that can help. You see, there’s a terrible coldness inside me.”’
— A Passion for Poison, by Carol Ann Lee.

// Negative talk
Feeling the right amount of petty right now, so imma just throw it out there that I truly despise the true crime community. Can we stop making content out of people's suffering ??
Like the stupid Netflix Dahmer show is JUST ?? EXCUSE ME (tiktok at it again where people are genuinely bragging about how quirky they are for idolozing real life serial killers like, if they didn't disable their comments I would unironically drop a kys because that's the kind of lowlife they are)
Any kind of media that profits off a person's pain is just yucky (I'm looking at you Blonde like goodness gracious leave her be)

🫵🫵 !!!!HEY YOU!!!! 🫵🫵
do you want to do research on true crime RESPECTFULLY but "can't find any good documentation :'(" about it??
😱😱✨ WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YOU!!! ✨😱😱
i found out about this AMAZING tactic called-
just read the fucking wikipedia article.
it's free, does not fetishize serial killers, and doesn't put any money in anyone's pocket. the articles are provided by people who want to educate, not profit.
stop watching documentaries that do not aim to educate, that do not help the families of those effected, that rather try to fetishize, glamourize, and pity horrible people who did horrible things.
researching true crime is something you must tread carefully on. you should be researching true crime from a viewpoint of wishing to learn. it isn't some fun drama to watch and observe like a circus.
"but wikipedia articles are too long and boring and i just want to hear the drama :((((" WATCH A FICTIONAL CRIME SHOW THEN. YOU SHOULDN'T BE MAKING A SPECTACLE OUT OF A TRAGEDY.
being curious of dark events in human history is normal, and educating yourself on WHY does this happen, is what will allow us to grow and adapt.
fetishizing a murderer and acting like they're a video game character blorbo is going to do NOTHING but hurt others and show you're a real piece of shit.
i'm tired. read the fucking wikipedia articles. stop giving money to shitty companies trying to profit off of tragedies that effect people to this day. thank you.

#im not making a jessay abt this bc im trying to partake in self restraint#but im seeing stuff on twitter rn abt the milk fic and the fact that the author is a child predator#which is true#she went to fucking jail#and it's shit like that that is publicized that reinforces why i was such a jumpy bitch all of 2021 about questionable fic#and why im still very passionate (albeit quieter now) about people writing fucked up shit#because the argument i hear soo often is the 'it's just fiction. no real people are being hurt. just because you write about fucked up stuff#doesnt mean you're actually into the fucked up stuff'#and i feel it's important to remember that like... in any true crime you see or any documentary of deviants you will find that#before they acted on perverted desires they actively wrote stuff down about them#like that is well-documented!#if you are having fucked up fantasies and continue to indulge yourself in fucked up fantasies you are actively reinforcing that behavior#like ok can u control kinks? no u cant#but u can control ur interaction w/ them#and i fucking hate that half-baked stupid as shit argument that 'it's just fiction'#because it's not#NOW OK it *can* be just fiction if you know how to interact w/ it in a healthy way#like there's a difference between cnc and rape fics yknow#there's a difference#and there *are* ways to healthily interact with *most* kinks#but you can't just fucking go around willy nilly doing whatever you please thinking it doesnt affect your fucking brain chemistry#i mean my god#rant#tw vent#im pro kink ofc im very sex pos. that's not the issue. kink isn't the issue#the way people engage w/ it is.#this has been my rant <3 of the day <3#ok im going to be positive now for the rest of the day <3

omg I had a nightmare that I accidentally implied that I like true crime when I was trying to say I watch murder mysteries and the horror was dealing with being labelled a True Crime Girlie
