What is up with these gorgeous goth princesses??? (Yes ik this one is a male but he’s still a gorgeous goth princess) They are also detritivores, and they even eat ✨human corpses✨so they can be used in forensics to tell how long someone has been dead!

Why did evolution decide to make this badass creature and can we get more like this??

I um… have this picture printed out and on my bulletin board…

I keep seeing this in fiction and it drives me bonkers. Guys. Guys. You can't use dental records to identify someone if there aren't any dental records to speak of from before the person becomes a Doe. Dental identification works by comparing the state of a Doe's teeth to existing dental records of potential matches. Such as, if there were dental records for a man named John Smith that show he had a filling on one of his molars, and a John Doe has a filling on that same tooth, comparing Doe to the records would be an extra line of evidence towards identifying the Doe. But if the Doe never had any dental work done, or if none of those records were saved, dental identification is impossible.

My Malkavian!!!

Her name is Penance and she is a forensic pathologist, I'm so excited to finally play a malk I'm foaming at the mouth.

She's my excuse to infodump about forensics and yes I have aquired a lab coat for the occasion.

She also spat into my brain that I should draw autopsy reports of OC's with a full diagnostic and cause of death.

I'm throwing her into Santa Monica with my chum @kermitted-cause who is our story teller and can't wait to play with them @lu0niiel @rosa-the-witch are also gonna be playing so I'm buzzed to interact with their characters.
