Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Antis kept me from getting into Judaism. At the advice of my therapist, I write in order to cope with CSA, and antis on the Jewish side of tumblr (jumblr) called me a writer of child erotica and a pedophile when I asked a Jewish blog if believing in psychology and being a writer was compatible with Judaism. After seeing people say I jerk off to child rape, write child erotica, etc. even though I write recovery fics with no sex in them, I now associate Judaism with antis/Puritans in my head.

...

You asked if believing in psychology was compatible with Judaism?

What the hell kind of backwards-ass scientology-level cult do you think Judaism is, nonnie? Sometimes, it feels like my town is nothing but Jewish psychologists.

Considering you can't go two feet in oldschool fandom without tripping over a Jewish fan, none of whom care about thought crimes, this sounds like a you problem. Maybe stop hanging around religion bloggers and go find some more mainstream and less uptight sources on Judaism.

Or don't ask weird, leading questions that clearly have an ulterior motive.

No one who's emotionally an adult gives two shits if other people write to cope, much less Jews who have produced a massive body of art about trauma and genocide. There are many Jewish cultures, sure, but the stereotype is of intellectuals, and there are fucktons of Jewish shrinks and writers. This entire situation sounds bizarre, and not because of the antis being antis.

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)

If you don't mind me asking what got you into educating yourself and others on torture?

I don’t mind. Some readers may have heard this story before.

Basically it’s because of where I’m from and the life I had growing up. My mother is English, my father is Greek-Cypriot, I was raised in Saudi Arabia near Bahrain. This mix of backgrounds (and this holds true for a lot of people globally) means that human rights abuses and torture are tied up in my personal history.

One of my earliest memories is being evacuated because Bush Sr decided to invade Iraq. I grew up surrounded by people from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, working as drivers, maids, construction workers, porters, shop attendants, guards- and some of them will have been slaves.

If ethnic tensions in Cyprus had not been allowed to grow into violent clashes that ultimately divided the island I would not exist. Because there’s a good chance my father’s family just wouldn’t have left.

There’s a rusted, husk of a pistol in my Yiayia’s house used by a relative in her mountain village to fight the English.

The English tortured people throughout the period Cyprus was a colony. Some of the records were recently ‘re-discovered’ in a former MOD facility.

I occasionally wonder if my great-grandfathers shot at each other.

And all of this means that torture was part of the background radiation of my life growing up.

It was not something ‘exciting’ that happened in cartoons. It was not something from the movies. It was a very real function of the police and the government.

In essence I grew up knowing the police existed to make people disappear.

I was shielded to a large degree. Because I’m white, because my family is rich and to some degree because I was a child. But I was a precocious child and I very quickly realised that not everyone had the same shield around them I did.

And I began to get very angry.

I’ve never been tortured. I’ve never seen anyone tortured and as far as I know no one I know has been tortured. But I knew growing up that it was something that could happen. To me and the people around me. And there was really nothing anyone could do about it.

I’ve spent decades reading about violence, human rights abuses and torture because I wanted to understand my countries, my roots, myself. I feel like I am at least closer to that understanding now and honestly it makes me even angrier.

It is such a pointless, awful waste. Of life, of time and, to borrow from Rushdie, of the promises of independence.

I read about these things because I feel deeply obligated to. Because despite my relative safety and power I couldn’t do anything to help the people around me. I can’t re-make my country and I can’t undo the past. And I also have a realistic idea of my own strengths. I think trying to re-train, to do the research, to treat people would have a terrible effect on my health.

But I could not look away when I was seven. I can not do it now. Because I can’t- swoop in and protect protesters in Kashmir but I can listen. I feel that I owe it to them, all of them, the 44% of the global population who think they’d be tortured if they were arrested-

Doesn’t that make you seethe? Almost half of the world, three billion human beings, judge themselves at risk from the people who are supposed to protect them.

And it is preventable.

I do this because I am really very very passionate about this global goddamned disaster.

I also do it because I like stories of real, everyday heroism and stories about the world getting better. There are more of those here then in any other subject I can think of.

It’s Fela Kuti, just out of jail, marching his murdered mother’s funeral procession up to the military barracks to face her killers. Dr Hawa Abdi facing down the terrorists who tried to take over her hospital. The White Helmets running towards the bombs to pull people out of the rubble.

The story of Bacha Khan trying to convert his English prison guards to pacifism and when they asked him what he’d be doing if he wasn’t a pacifist he stood up and bent the bars.

It seems to me a very dirty trick, that we have somehow been convinced that these people’s lives are unrealistic.

And- it seems, from my admittedly odd perspective, that other people’s lives are poorer for not knowing these things. That the world is narrower, more pessimistic without the assurance that people do not break.

The world is unfair and yes, you should be angry about it.

There’s a wonderful little piece of philosophy in the Yoruban traditional religion (which I hope I’m interpreting/explaining correctly here).

In this religion after the perfect High God created the world they withdrew from their imperfect creation. This is because the purpose of humanity is to make the world perfect. The heaven we create has more meaning then a perfect thing we are given.

The process of trying to improve life has meaning. Is our meaning.

And this is the way in which I am most suited to help.

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
