I love how Tumblr teaches us how to be perfect criminals.

[sarahdesdemona]

Also, if you’re burying a full body, make sure you bury them vertically. Satellites orbiting earth look for holes that are approx. 6ft long because that’s suspicious. Ideally though, drain your body of fluids in a tub ((mix fluids with bleach and let them soak before draining and take precautions to keep your house from smelling like death from your sink and whatnot. Draining the body also keeps decomp at bay a bit and makes it easier to portion)) and cut it to bits. It’s easier to bury a head than a whole body, and takes less time so you don’t have to tell your neighbors, “Oh, I’m night gardening!”

Also, if a dog happens across it, it’s more likely it will devour a single body part than all of your ex-husband.

Another method is to put it into a septic tank. They’re a plethora of bacteria, and the smell of waste covers the smell of decomposition very well.

You should also destroy all teeth, massacre the face and burn fingerprints/remove finger tips to keep from identifying by anything other than DNA.

…I didn’t come up with these ideas, just what I’ve gleaned from reading on the internet.

i used to joke about Tumblr teaching us how to get away with murder, but fuck, man

[musta--krakish-deactivated20170]

the thing is when i see this i want to go kill a man just because i have the knowledge

[grassburrqueen]

thanks tumblr

[basilcraft-deactivated20210223]

Remember when you’re at the crime scene to wipe down all surfaces and then take the victims hands and touch things with them. Pick up cups and run the hands along table tops. A room with zero fingerprints is very suspicious.

If you live near the ocean you can drain the body and cut up the cadaver into small pieces then mix it all together with fish parts and dispose of it easily by pretending to chum the water for fish and sharks. Actually do chum the water a bit before dumping in your victim to be sure there are plenty of hungry fish around. Stick around and fish for a while so anyone who happens to see you won’t get suspicious. This way you don’t have any body parts lying around waiting to be dug up and identified. Plus you might catch a marlin or something.

PLUS YOU MIGHT CATCH A MARLIN

I AFDGFHGKJHKHGFDSF I AM DONE

[tephnos]

Don’t forget that the chances of being caught are greatly reduced if you murder someone who has no connection to you at all. Most murderers end up killing someone they know in some fashion, so they’re easily caught. Serial killers kill at random, hence why they can kill a lot before they screw up.

I am not a serial killer, honest.

I am seriously concerned for all of you

please don’t judge me for tagging this for future reference, IT’S FOR PURELY FICTIONAL PURPOSES OK

I’M PRETTY SURE THE NEXT TIME I SEE THIS POST, ADVICE ON BURYING BODIES WILL ADD UP UNTIL IT SUFFICES TO BE COMPILED AS A HANDBOOK

writing tip #700:

your characters are like geodes

if you want to see what they’re really made of

you must break them

[mimzytumbles]

this is so good i dont even know how to describe it just GUYS

[linestorm]

Characteristics of the “Bad Guy” Antagonist

A few footnotes:

1. This list is meant to characterize an “evil” antagonist - some antagonists are perfectly decent people, and some are not even people.

2. Can also be used as a general flaws list that pertains to any character.

3. I wrote the list with masculine pronouns because English is hard, but all of these can apply to characters of any gender.

4. The four categories are just conceptual, for thought organization. Characterize freely.

I've still got 20 days left on my Scrivener trial. I get way too distracted when I try to use Scrivener because it's still new to me. It's a fantastic program and I love finding all the things it does that I didn't know about.

[thisiswhywhyiwrite]

I sat down to seriously write today for the first time in months. I had a sudden bout of inspiration on Wednesday, wrote 1500 words in about an hour, and today I wanted to write more. But I'm getting distracted. My lovebirds are making too much noise. My room is too cold. My cat is being cute. The radio isn't playing good music. I see interesting things anytime I turn my head away from the computer.

I also don't have a desk right now, and that really sucks, and probably part of the reason I'm having trouble focusing.

I need a small, dark, quiet room to write in.

writing tip #633:

shock your readers by killing them off after revealing your book was soaked in poison the entire time

I finally got time to start on NaNo today. I gave up my previous ideas because they didn't intrigue me this morning. I am so far 458 words in. Pretty good, I think, for half an hour's work. I have no idea what's happening in my story or where it's going. I think my MC isn't human, but she doesn't know that. Here are the first few sentences: I've been running for days, for weeks, for months, for years. I can't really remember now why I'm running, I just know that I am. I move from place to place, never staying anywhere for more than a week. I get strange looks, passing from town to town, state to state.

[thisiswhywhyiwrite]

Just four days before NaNo starts and I just discovered that my laptop battery is warped! It's not working at all, not making a connection to the laptop. My dad is supposed to be giving me his computer, so he needs to hurry up and do that.

[thisiswhywhyiwrite]

Because of how much customers at work have been irritating me recently, I think I'm going to change what I'm writing for NaNo. The new novel is tentatively titled "Retail Sucks". I just wish I could figure out a way to incorporate vampires so that the title fits better.
