Rats In Court Anyone?
I honestly had way to much fun with drawing these. I love my silly little rats so much, these were completely and unabashedly self indulgent drawings ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did steal the backgrounds from Ace Attorney Apollo Justice, but can you really blame me? Anyways, these are basically practice drawings for a little game I'm making to play with some discord friends later. It's very obviously an Ace Attorney spin off, but we will be playing it almost like a DnD game since there is no way I can make this a video game myself.
Four of the characters I have drawn here I've drawn before. They're the rat versions of some bfucu characters. The other two are ocs. From left to right, top to bottom, we have Niko "Night Night" Bergara, Henry "Long Legs" Madej, Kira Norris, Edward Pyrite, Ricky Goldsworth, and Charles C. Tinsley.
I have more characters made/planned to be made for the game, I just haven't gotten around to drawing them digitally yet. It's gonna be a whole thing. Anyways, who knows if I'll post more about this silly little thing more. But it was fun and brought me much joy, and I'm so excited to get this whole game put together!!!

Buzzfeed Unsolved 100% exists in Marvel and DC, I just imagine these two specific episodes that seem insane but are just so spot on and no one realizes it
The Seeming Resurrection of Jason Todd: where Ryan talks about how Jason Todd didn’t actually die or he was resurrected and the whole time Shane’s just like “wtf is wrong with you” not knowing how true some of the theories were lmfao
And another episode about DB Cooper
The Truth of DB Coopers Identity: where Ryan suddenly presents that Loki was truly Cooper and once again Shane sits there is disbelief not knowing it was Loki all along

What if the Zodiac Killer was more that one person? Like, what if one person sent the letters, one person made the calls, and another person actually committed the murders?

The Canonical Five: Elizabeth Stride
Tumblr media
September 13, 2022
Elizabeth Stride, the third victim of the canonical five, was born Elisabeth Gustafsdotter on November 27, 1843 in Stora Tumlehed, in Sweden. She was the second born out of four children in total. Elizabeth’s father, Gustaf Ericsson was a farmer, and the family lived on a farm where the children were expected to complete chores. 
Elizabeth moved to the city of Gothenburg and became a domestic servant to a few different families. Elizabeth was described as between 5′2-5′5 inches tall, with curly dark brown hair, and light grey eyes. 
Elizabeth had begun sex worker at an earlier age than some of the other canonical five victims, police records from as early as March 1865, confirm she was arrested for this. On April 21, 1865, Elizabeth gave birth to a stillborn daughter. 
In February of 1866, Elizabeth had moved to London, though the reasoning is unclear. Elizabeth supposedly told people she knew two different stories about why she made the move, telling some she relocated for employment by a “gentlemen who lived near Hyde Park” and others thought she moved because she had family already living there. 
It is believed that Elizabeth briefly dated a policeman, but on March 7, 1869 she married a man named John Thomas Stride, who was a ship’s carpenter and who was 22 years older than her. 
The couple ran a coffee shop in Poplar, east London for several years, while also making income from John’s carpenter work. In 1874, the marriage began to fall apart, however the couple were still living together. In 1875 they sold the coffee shop due to financial struggles. 
In 1881, it is believed that Elizabeth and John had reunited and lived together again in the district of Bow, however they permanently separated later that year, with Elizabeth being admitted to a Whitechapel workhouse infirmary suffering from bronchitis in December 1881. Elizabeth was discharged on January 4, 1882, and is believed to have begun living on Flower and Dean Street in Whitechapel. 
On October 24, 1884, John Stride died of tuberculosis. Elizabeth was known to have told several people that her husband and 9 children had drowned in the 1878 sinking of the Princess Alice in the River Thames. Elizabeth would tell people she had survived by climbing the ship’s mast, though none of this was true. 
Elizabeth began a tumultuous relationship with a local dock labourer named Michael Kidney, with the two often separating, and Elizabeth would then go sleep in local lodging houses before going back to live with Michael. In April 1887, Elizabeth filed a formal assault against Michael, but she did not pursue this charge. 
Elizabeth was often charged for drunk and disorderly conduct and the use of obscene language. She would often show up to the Thames Magistrates’ Court using the alias Annie Fitzgerald. 
Elizabeth and Michael got into an argument on September 26, 1888, and separated, with Elizabeth taking residence at 32 Flower and Dean Street. She earned money by cleaning the lodging house for a few days. The day before her murder, Elizabeth was known to have cleaned two rooms at her lodging house and was paid sixpence for it. 
That evening she was wearing a black jacket and skirt, with a black bonnet. At 6:30pm, Elizabeth visited the Queen’s Head pub on Commercial Street before going back to her lodging house alone. 
Elizabeth was seen with a man described as short, with a dark moustache, wearing a morning suit and bowler hat at 11pm close to Berner Street. A second eyewitness claimed to have seen Elizabeth with a man wearing a peaked cap, black coat and dark pants standing on the pavement opposite number 58 Berner Street around 11:45pm. This eyewitness said Elizabeth had repeatedly kissed this man, before he said, “You would say anything but your prayers.” 
At 12:35 am, PC William Smith saw Elizabeth with a man wearing a hard felt hat at 40 Berner Street in Whitechapel. The man was carrying a package about 18 inches long. Smith didn’t feel that anything was suspicious so he continued on toward Commercial Road. 
Between 12:35-12:45am, a dockworker named James Brown saw who he thought appeared to be Elizabeth standing with her back against a wall at the corner of Berner Street saying to a man with a long black coat and average build, “No. Not tonight. Some other night.” 
Elizabeth Stride’s body was discovered around 1am on September 30, 1888, in the adjacent Dutfield’s Yard by a man named Louis Diemschutz. He had driven into the yard with his horse and two wheeled cart when he horse abruptly went to the left to avoid what appeared to be a bundle on the ground. 
Blood was still flowing from a single knife wound inflicted to Elizabeth’s neck, her hands were cold, but other parts of her body were still fairly warm. It appeared that Elizabeth had been killed very shortly before she was discovered at 1am, with several witnesses coming forward saying they were around the area between 12:30-12:50am and did not see anything. 
Elizabeth’s body was lying on the near side with her face toward the wall, her head towards the yard and her feet towards the street. Her left arm was extended and there was a packet of cachous in her left hand. Her right arm was over her stomach, the back of the hand and wrist had clotted blood on it. Her legs were drawn up with her feet close to the wall. 
Elizabeth had a silk handkerchief around her neck that was slightly torn. Some believe it was cut. Her throat had been deeply gashed. Rigor mortis was thorough. There was mud on the left side of her face, and over both shoulders, under the collarbone and in front of her chest was a blueish discolouration. 
There was a clear cut incision on her neck. It was six inches in length and two and a half inches in a straight line below the angle of the jaw. The cut was clean and deviated downwards a little. The arteries and other vessels were all cut through. Her stomach contained partially digested food, consisting of cheese, potato and flour or milled grain powder. All her teeth on the lower left jaw were missing. 
It was believed that Elizabeth’s murderer may have pulled her backwards by her neckerchief before cutting her throat. It was strongly indicated that the person who had killed Elizabeth was right-handed. 
Israel Schwartz told investigators that he saw Elizabeth being attacked outside Dutfield’s Yard around 12:45am by a man with dark hair, a small brown moustache and was around 5′5 in height. The man attempted to pull Elizabeth onto the street before turning her around and shoving her to the ground. The man shouted the word, “Lipski” either to Schwartz or to another man who had been nearby lighting a pipe. 
Michael Kidney was suspected in Elizabeth’s murder due to their on again off again relationship, as well as the fact that he had no alibi. Investigator’s eventually eliminated Michael as a suspect though there’s not much information on why. 
At the inquest it was determined that there was about 25-30 people in the International Working Men’s Educational Club which was right by where Elizabeth was murdered that night. No one there said that they heard or saw anything strange around that time. 
On the second day of the inquest a woman named Mary Malcolm swore that the body was not of Elizabeth Stride, but it was her sister, Elizabeth Watts that had been murdered. Though, police and doctors were certain it was Elizabeth Stride. The doctors also testified that it would of been impossible for Elizabeth to cry out for help. 
On October 3, Michael identified Elizabeth formally, stating that he had been in a relationship with her for nearly three years. He did admit that they separated quite frequently due to Elizabeth’s heavy drinking, though she always returned. 
The inquest into her death lasted five days with it being adjourned until October 23, 1888. The verdict was unanimous and read, “Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown.” 
While Elizabeth’s murder had occurred in close connection to the other two murders, that of Mary Ann Nichols and Annie Chapman as they had both had deep cuts to their neck, Elizabeth had received no mutilation injuries, her sole injury was a deep cut beneath her jaw. 
Some believe that Elizabeth is not connected to the other murders and that Jack the Ripper was not her killer. This is based on how there was no mutilation done to her body and that this is the only murder by Jack the Ripper that occurred south of Whitechapel Road. It is also believed that the knife used on Elizabeth Stride was shorter and a different design than was used on the other four canonical five victims. 
Many however do believe that Jack the Ripper is responsible for Elizabeth Stride’s death, based off of the location, who she was, and how the murder happened. Some believe Jack the Ripper heard Diemschutz’s horse approach so he ran off without being able to finish or mutilate Elizabeth. 
The same night, another woman named Catherine Eddowes was murdered, shortly after Elizabeth. Both women lived on Flower and Dean Street at the time. Perhaps Jack killed Catherine because he didn’t get to fulfill his full fantasy of mutilating Elizabeth due to being interrupted? 
On October 1, 1888, a postcard dubbed the “Saucy Jacky” and signed Jack the Ripper, was received by Central News Agency. The letter took responsibility for both Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes’ murders, describing the murders as a “double event.” 
The card was postmarked more than 24 hours after the murders, long after details of the murders had been known to the public, meaning anyone could have written the letter, and not necessarily the killer himself. Most Ripperologist’s agree that this postcard is a hoax, written by some journalist. 
On October 16, 1888, a parcel containing half of a human kidney was sent to the Chairman of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, George Lusk. The note is widely known as the “From Hell” letter, because that’s what the writer put as the return address. The writer said they had fried and eaten the other half of the human kidney, and the writing was different than the Saucy Jacky postcard, another reason why most think the postcard was a fraud. 
The kidney was discovered to be human and from the left side. It had also been preserved in spirits before it was mailed. Major Henry Smith claimed that this kidney matched the missing one from victim Catherine Eddowes, because the length of the renal artery matched the missing length from her body. The section of kidney also showed signs of Bright’s disease, which Catherine supposedly had. 
Elizabeth was buried on October 6, 1888 in the East London Cemetery, with a small number of people at her funeral. Her headstone is inscribed with her name and the years of her birth and death.

The steamers Emma and Scarborough made trips up and down the coast
I am ashamed to say I originally misread that as "Streamers." Left me with a very different understanding of the sentence for a couple seconds.
Although it is delightful to know that nothing has changed in the world of journalism - articles are still padded out to skull-liquidatingly excessive degrees with repetition and unrelated information today just as they apparently were in Stoker's time.
I look forward to the town adopting this perfectly innocent boat dog as their own local folk celebrity after the captain's swanky funeral, what a good and lucky doggo to be welcomed by the townspeople.
But real talk? Y'all know that in the Dracula universe, there's a Buzzfeed Unsolved episode on the case of The Demeter.
You know it's true.

I've been drawing bfucu rats again recently. So here's a bunch of those doodles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is it all Night Night and Legs? Maybe....
I've just been thinking about the self-indulgent Ace Attorney spoof idea I had a while back. So I ended up drawing my favorite little morally corrupt lawyers ♡
I realized recently that it's coming up on 5 yeats since I first got into Buzfeed Unsolved, and I've been feeling pretty nostalgic about it, since it's been such a huge part of me ever since. I loved drawing silly Tinsworth doodles constantly. I would put them in any and every situation I could think of. It was fun. I miss it.
Anyways, now that so much time has passed, I'm having fun exploring Night and Legs' dynamic a bit. I'm still figuring out who they are, I think. There's some little details about their personalities and such I need to iron out. But yeah, I've been enjoying doing that through my art. It brings me so much joy to be drawing for this fandom again, even if it's just for me.

This month marks forty years since 17-year-old Catherine Tighe vanished from her Las Vegas high school. Her abduction and subsequent murder remain unsolved all these decades later, but the murder bears striking similarities to another infamous Las Vegas crime – the 1979 slaying of Kim Bryant.

I’m obsessed with the cases of Peaches and Cherries. Both their severed torsos were found in New York in 1997 and 2007 respectively. Their identities (and killers) remain a mystery

I’ll never forget that time Ryan and Shane were talking about the Great Plague and how many bodies had to be buried in pits and then Shane just goes “we’re gonna go through some stuff” referring to a bunch of people dying
My guy predicted Covid years ago and we didn’t even realize

The Murder of Linda Ann Smith
Tumblr media
Linda Ann Smith was a 12-year-old schoolgirl from Essex, UK. She was the oldest of six children and was known as, ‘Little Miss Friendly,’ to her neighbours.
On 16th January 1961, Linda was last seen wearing her school uniform and walking to her local newsagents to buy her great-grandmother a newspaper, she ran this errand most days and it took her around 15 minutes. She was seen looking inside the newsagents at around 5.10pm but not going inside and then crossing the road. Although the street was busy, Linda was not seen again and seemingly vanished. When Linda did not return home, the police were called and hundreds of people helped with the search.
Linda’s body was found four days later in a field 29km away. She had been strangled with her school scarf and the body had been covered with her coat. Linda’s coat still contained the money she had been going to use to buy the paper. A red substance believed to be paint, and traces of flour were found on the body. One of Linda’s shoes was missing and has never been found. A reindeer mint was also found near her body, this candy was sold at a local convenience store close to where Linda went missing. Tyre tracks were also in the field leading away to the road.
Despite widespread media interest in the case, no arrests were made and the person who murdered Linda remains uncaught. Suffolk police have stated the case is actively by cold case teams although admit the chances of bringing Linda’s killer to justice after all this time are ‘extremely remote.’
