This 👆 was revealed on a Barney Miller episode in 1981.
Predictive programing hidden in plain sight, as per usual. Front running the truth with the "conspiracy theory" labels.
That script was greenlit on a comedy show, they knew they could flaunt it, and no one would believe it. 🤔

Following a Trail of Clues
                Lots of plots have at least some aspect of figuring out a mystery or uncovering some hidden truth. While it may not be a traditional murder mystery, writing a plot that revolves around the gathering of information and uncovering of clues can be written using a lot of the same techniques.
1. You should probably plan it
If you’re strictly a pantser, give it a shot, but I have never been able to pants mysteries like this. I would recommend planning it from the beginning and saving yourself a lot of time and headaches trying to piece it together later.
2. Start with the beginning and end
When planning a mystery, I start with the beginning, and then skip to the point that they uncover the truth or figure it out and work backwards to fill out the middle. What is the last hint they need to uncover the full truth, then, what leads to that hint, rinse and repeat until we get back to that beginning you created.
                For example, say the MC is trying to find their missing friend. The last point would be ‘they find their friend’, so that’s where we begin. Maybe right before that, they’re told the location, to get their location, they’ve kidnapped one of the bad guys who knows it, to get to him, they need to break into the evil lair, to find the lair, they need to spy on the organization, and so on.
3. Diversify the hints
I talk about this a bit in my post about written elements (here), but essentially, you’ll want to diversify how your characters get their hints. It will seem cheap if they find everything they need to know on conveniently spaced notes or journal entries (unless you can really justify that), or it’s all told to them by someone who happens to know it all (such as the ‘wise man’ trope).
                Maybe they find the last clue written down, but the one before was told to them from a key character, and the one before was puzzled out through a riddle, etc. etc. Here are some places to find clues:
Someone else knows something
This could be either an ally or an enemy. Family members, friends they weren’t aware of, a hidden partner, seemingly a stranger who knows more than they’re letting on. If they are an ally, there should be a reason they haven’t come forward yet, or justification for why their testimony is where it is in a story. Maybe they are somewhat accidentally guilty in the mystery, maybe they are afraid to be involved, maybe they aren’t aware anything has happened at all.
If they’re an enemy, maybe your protagonists need to corner them, best them in a battle, talk to them away from their boss, kidnap them, etc. Consider why this person would betray their ‘side’ to provide a clue to the protagonists.
Journal entries, notes, letters, ledgers, or otherwise written down
Physical evidence—footprints, pieces of clothing left behind, an object, photos, drawings
Biological evidence--fingerprints, DNA, hair, etc. If your character already has access to the equipment for this, great! If not, consider how they could find this out.
A prophetic dream or vision (use in cases in which it would make sense for your character to have this, obviously)
A riddle, poem, or song, if you can justify it.
An educated guess (for small jumps)
Timing—if they can figure out a timeline, they may be able to figure out something else
Something is missing or off place. That’s odd, character always leaves their book on the bedside table, so why isn’t it there?
Any other ways to get hints or clues to your characters?

So when AK reacts to 6:16 in LA, AK looks wild at the sound of KTW or Katy W, but regardless KTW may reference a certain UK agency 👀 and yk the Wick Man song from drake? “Nadia died in dubai…” issa bout Nadia Ntuli, UK based model and onlyfans creator👩🏽‍💻 I know you see them keywords clicking together tho..I dive in deeper so bare with me ya
Tumblr media
remember how drake dedicated #CLB to TWO dead models? 👁️👄👁️ nadia ntuli and mercedes morr & yk what that did? it got a bunch of news articles written on them and how they died…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
bc if you can’t tell already the boy understands the power in publications from news sources (re: recently CA writing that wholesome plot twist in his article🤣)
Tumblr media
hey how old was that model Nadia when she met Drake? the boy claimed to fw her for 7 years? i’m just tryna see something rq
anyway, don’t lose the plot ok
so one of the models died in a murder suicide from strangulation by a stalker she didn’t know, and the other model died in a car or motorcycle accident in dubai it’s unclear bc the articles I’ve read have said both 🧐 I really can’t find much info on nadia, not even socials? I want to know her age! bc the articles I read gave us an age for ms morr
“KTW know you can’t sleep”
Tumblr media
DYK that the lawyer representing lil rod aka the lucian grange/UMG and diddy case is ALSO reported to be the lawyer that’s coming for AK? okay well, now yk
Tumblr media
UK links are everywhere if you following the breadcrumbs…this is from the KTW about page. what they doin in London tho?
Tumblr media
If you’re open to read the blind items, aka anonymous scoops by industry insiders, theres 22 pages in the pdf link with a LOT of things that are coming to light, been surfaced from years ago..
files.catbox.moe/obd1ok.pdf
issa lot of connections to the UK but funny enough 21 really wants to stay away from there?hmm wonder why
Tumblr media
issa lot of drake bots out there tho 🤣 so don’t let them scare you away from looking things up
ok im done for now and i’ll probably post a video on youtube about this breakdown soon so follow me there if anything
ok any questions, comments, concerns? 📢📢📢

Clues
“And where are you off to?” John asks, looking up from his textbook. He’s sitting in the kitchen, studying for his anatomy exam and eating chips.
Sherlock passes by the table and takes a chip from the paper plate John is holding out in an unspoken invitation. “Molly needs help with organic chemistry.”
John smiles at him fondly. “That’s awfully nice of you, sacrificing your Friday night to help her.”
Sherlock rolls his eyes. “She’s going to be Anderson’s TA next semester, meaning she’ll have access to the lab after hours. It’s a simple exchange.”
“Yes, yes, you keep telling yourself that, much easier to pretend you couldn’t just break into the lab like you’ve done all of last year, instead of admitting that Molly’s your friend and that’s why you’re helping her.”
Sherlock helps himself to another chip. “Shut up,” he says, then pops the chip into his mouth, making John laugh. 
The sound shivers down Sherlock’s spine like a warm caress, making him feel warm all over. He’s long since stopped asking himself why making John laugh is the best feeling in the world, he’s just accepted that it is. 
“Fine, go share your big genius brain with the girl who isn’t your friend at all, of course,” John answers. He gets up and nudges Sherlock with his shoulder as he passes to the sofa. “Text me if you’re going to spend the night, okay?”
“Yes, mother,” Sherlock says with mock annoyance. 
John flips Sherlock off absently, already engrossed in his textbook again. “Finish off the chips, will you,” he says absently.
Sherlock shrugs into his coat and grabs the chips from the table to have on his way. “Don’t wait up,” he says in lieu of goodbye and closes the door behind him.
*-*
“So, if you look at the molecular structure of- Molly, are you listening to a word I’m saying?”
Molly looks up from her textbook and blushes scarlet. “I’m so sorry, Sherlock, I’m just-”
“Just what? Ungrateful? Inattentive? Wasting my time?” Sherlock ticks the points off his fingers. “Uninterested in passing this course? Willing to throw your future away?”
Molly drops her head, her forehead meeting her textbook with a painful-sounding thud. “Oh my god, this is so embarrassing…”
Sherlock sighs. “Let me guess. This is about a boy.”
“Yes,” Molly all but wails. “I’m being so stupid! But I can’t stop thinking about him. He’s so handsome” She lifts her head a bit, looking at Sherlock with a pleading expression. “You know Greg? From the rugby team?”
Sherlock nods, his anger abating somewhat. Greg apparently has a debilitating effect on girls. He’s noticed it on several occasions where John dragged him to social gatherings. The effect is entirely lost on Sherlock himself, though he acknowledges that Greg is good looking. Maybe it’s because Greg is so unquestioningly straight, but then again, so is John, and John’s mere presence both enhances Sherlock’s intellect and has the ability to derail it completely. So he sympathises with Molly. To an extent.
“What would it take for you to be able to actually concentrate on what we’re doing?” he asks, checking his watch. It’s only nine, maybe they can save some of this study session.
“If I knew for sure that he’s not interested, I could put it out of my mind. I know he likes me, but I’m not sure if we’re just mates, or if he wants to take it further.” She pulls out what looks like a battered women’s magazine. “There’s a list of clues here. Whether someone likes you. Maybe we could….” she trails off, giving Sherlock a hopeful smile.
Sherlock sighs. “Let’s have it then.”
“Okay, clue one: He’s looking for excuses to touch you.”
“Sounds a bit fishy,” Sherlock says, waggling his hand in a ‘not sure about that’ gesture, thinking of how John constantly bumps against him, puts a hand on his shoulder, or his arm. “Friends touch quite often as well.”
“He did touch my arm this afternoon,” Molly says, musing aloud. “I’m going to mark it down as a yes.”
Sherlock decides he needs a control group. He’ll compare the clues on the list to things normal friends — like he and John — do all the time.
“Go on.”
“Clue two: Shares food. Greg gave me half of his muffin last week.”
John sharing his chips without even a second thought. “Meaningless. Next.”
“Compliments you. Greg told me I’m really smart the other day, does that count?”
John calls him brilliant and amazing all the time. “No. Friends like each other, that’s not an indicator for romantic attraction.”
“One or two of these are normal among friends, it says here. If you get seven or eight out of ten, he’s interested in more,” Molly muses, but continues reading the clues out when Sherlock makes a ‘get on with it’ gesture. “Four: Shows concern for your wellbeing.”
Text me when you stay over. Finish my chips. Do you want some tea? “Friends do that. Next.”
“Five: Goes fishing for information about your romantic life. Greg did ask me if I have plans for the weekend, do you think he might- Sherlock, are you listening to me?”
Do you have a girlfriend? 
Not really my area.
Do you have a boyfriend, then?
Their first conversation over dinner the evening John moved in, after Mike introduced them as potential flatmates. 
“Read the next clue.”
Molly looks down at the paper. “Shows interest in your hobbies.”
John leaning over him and looking at crime scene pictures, John listening to him go on about the chemistry of tobacco ash and the infinite varieties of London soil, John’s enthusiasm for his violin…
Sherlock swallows. “Next.”
“Initiates contact, makes plans.”
He takes out his phone and looks at his last ten text alerts. They’re all from John.
“Next.”
“Wants to meet your family.”
Well, nobody wants to meet Mycroft, but John usually offers him tea when he comes over, and John’s shown a certain amount of — morbid — curiosity about their parents. 
“Next.”
“Blows off people and plans to spend time with you.”
“And the last one?” Sherlock asks, unsure if what he feels is hope or dread. 
“Lots of eye contact.”
“Molly,” Sherlock croaks, unsteadily. “I have to go.”
*-*
The way home takes thirty minutes and that’s time enough for Sherlock to do some serious thinking on the subject of John Watson, and what Sherlock wants from him.
Facts: John is intelligent, smart, funny, good company, he smells good, his eyes are extraordinary, he’s the only person Sherlock could envision living with and his laugh makes Sherlock shiver.
He comes to the following conclusions:  a) He’s in love with John, and has been since they met. b) He’s a massive idiot. 
*-*
Sherlock bursts into John’s bedroom without knocking. “Do you like me?”
John, who was fast asleep face down on his textbook, sits up, blinking against the light. “What?”
“You know how much I hate repeating myself,” Sherlock says, running a hand through his hair, gesturing in agitation. “Do you like me?” he asks, gesturing between the two of them.
John blinks, obviously still half asleep. “Um…”
“Answer the question!” Sherlock snaps, irritated.
“I’m not even sure I know what the question is,” John says, frowning at Sherlock, confused. “You storm in here in the middle of the night and yell incoherent nonsense at me, and you’re irritated at me?”
“We got ten out of ten, John! Ten out of ten!” Sherlock yells, dimly aware that this doesn’t exactly help John with anything, but too agitated to care. “You touch me all the time, you care about me, you let me rant at you, you feed me, you’re polite to my brother, you haven’t been on a date for months,” Sherlock enumerates the points, checking them off with his fingers. “I forget the rest, but you see the point, don’t you?”
“I’m not sure I do,” John says, rubbing a tired hand over his forehead. “You asked if I like you. Of course I do, we’re friends.”
“Yes, obviously, but do you like me? Like me, like me? Have sexual and/or romantic interest in me? The clues say you do, and the clues never lie!”
John looks distinctly uncomfortable, and he’s even blushing a bit, which Sherlock rates as a very good sign. “Um…” he rubs the back of his neck, a classic nervous tell, then he looks up at Sherlock, and there’s that eye contact the article was talking about. “Would that be a problem?”
Sherlock releases a breath he wasn’t aware he was holding. “Of course not, you absolute idiot. Why do you think I endure your dreadfully slow typing, your inability to pick up your dirty socks from the bathroom floor and your horrid taste in music? I’m obviously completely besotted with you and have been for a while now. Granted, I only realised right now but-”
He doesn’t get any further because John pulls him down to the bed, rolls on top of him and starts kissing him like there’s nothing better to do in the whole entire world, a sentiment Sherlock is in complete agreement with.
“I think we’re done talking for now,” John says with a wicked grin as he pulls back a bit to look at Sherlock.
Sherlock quite agrees and pulls John down for another round of snogging.
He makes a mental note to thank Molly in the morning. Then he dismisses everything that’s not John from his mind. It’s surprisingly easy. 
Have a bit of fluffy Unilock with awkward boys today. This got long, that's why I cut it.

I had this idea years ago and started, but put on the back burner until I forgot about it. Anyways to pass my break time I started working on this again from scratch (Since I haven't received any commissions lately.) Would you play this game? Or more specifically, would Alex Hirsch approve?

EDIT: Updated the board design to make it more square, and gave it a boarder plus a subtle guideline for if anyone wants to make it into a foldable gameboard. Enjoy!

Have you asked yourself any questions at all about Trump's hat?
Make note that he was the 45th president but it doesn't have an and(&) in between the 47. So if it's a dash/hyphen, that actually means through 47. He is a wartime president which has extended his duty through executive orders. He's showing you what is happening in plain sight, he just stepped out so the military can take care of the enemy which is within our own government.
He is the "Commander in Chief" and is showing the public where the corruption is and if you can't pick up the clues... You better wake up and stop following the lamestream herd everywhere they want you to go.
It's gonna get real within the next few months. The "Long Black Train" is coming to the fork in the tracks. You better know which way you want to go.

You can go left where nothing's right or you can go right where nothing's left. I'm going to the right and rebuilding what's not right.

Clues
Thanks for the prompt @calaisreno and the tag @raina-at
Sometimes you need a push.
“You’re going to lose him, you know,” Molly says earnestly.
Sherlock just huffs, focusing on the fingernails on the corpse they’re examining.
When they’ve concluded, Molly continues the one-sided conversation.
“He’ll get tired of waiting. You must know how he feels about you by now, Sherlock. It’s totally obvious, but he’s not exactly…”
“Gay, you mean,” Sherlock snaps at her, puts on his Belstaff with his usual flaunt and exits the morgue.
He gets a text from John in the cab.
Ordered sushi. Can you pick up a few bottles of wine on the way?
Consider it done. SH
He gets some funny emoji in return. A blue-grey two headed thing. When he searches the emoji bar, he finds it next to the lungs. Maybe John’s just touched the wrong one, though none of the other emojis stands out, if you don’t count the inner organs like heart and brain.
Sherlock starts to ponder Molly’s words after he’s stopped for wine. Losing John. Just two words but the meaning of those words is something Sherlock can’t think about without getting nauseous. And then it’s the other thing Molly mentioned. How John feels about him. Sherlock knows John loves him. As a friend, but it stops there, doesn’t it? Has John ever shown interest in Sherlock in a more romantic way? If so, he's hidden it well. From Sherlock at least. There have been no clues. Perhaps Molly just sees what she wants to see. That must be it. She’s a romantic soul, and clearly wants Sherlock to have what she has with…Peter? No, Patrick…Paul? Never mind. 
***
They’ve eaten and finished one bottle of wine. John’s eager to open a second one.
“You’ve got excellent taste in wine, Sherlock,” John beams as he struggles with the cork.
“Need a hand with that?” Sherlock offers amused.
John’s getting tipsy, and it’s a state Sherlock can appreciate. When he let’s go of his Britishness, John gets all affectionate and flirty, and sometimes Sherlock craves that. Craves John’s attention. His indisputable admiration. The aftermath of such events can be devastating for Sherlock. When John apologises, gets awkward, goes for long walks, and dates for several weeks. Tonight though, Sherlock decides to push John a bit. He’s gotten a bit tipsy himself, and Molly’s words refuses to leave him alone. What if John feels…
“There!” 
John interrupts his train of thought when he finally manages to open the wine bottle. He grins at Sherlock.
“Some more wine, gorgeous? You’re glass is empty,” John states and concentrates while pouring wine into both glasses.
Did John just call him gorgeous?
John’s never called him anything like that before. Git, twat, idiot, and his name in all variations, but never endearments. Could that be a sign, or is John too inebriated to notice what he’s said? He needs more data.
“You seem happy today. Any particular reason?” Sherlock prompts, fishing for clues to John’s odd behaviour.
John clears his throat and blushes a bit. It’s quite adorable.
Adorable! Since when did he start using words like that? Too much wine probably.
“I just…um…realised something,” John begins, not looking at Sherlock, instead seems to find his socks quite fascinating.
Sherlock waits for John to continue. It takes a numerous amount of time. When he speaks again, his voice is almost sober and there’s a hint of captain Watson in his stance.
“I’ve decided to stop dating,” John exclaims.
Sherlock’s heart skips a beat at that. Molly was right. He’s going to lose John. Stop dating means that John’s found a woman he wants to settle down with, get engaged to, marry, have kids with. It means John’s leaving Baker Street. His brain buzzes and Sherlock’s afraid he’s going to black out. John has apparently continued talking, but Sherlock hasn’t heard a word. Three words are playing in his mind making him want to vomit.
I’m losing him!
***
Sherlock feels warm, steady and familiar hands on his knees. Thumbs stroking, soothing. John’s voice soft and concerned, now forming coherent words.
“Hey. You alright, Sherlock? What happened? Didn’t you hear me?”
Sherlock blinks rapidly and John’s face comes into focus. His blue gaze has a lovely expression.
Of course it does. He’s finally found the love of his life!
He closes his eyes. Can’t stand to see all that joy directed at a person that’s not Sherlock. His eyes prickle. He can’t cry in front of John. Pinches his thighs to redirect the pain and focus on that instead of the ache in his heart. He knows he’s failed miserably when he feels John’s hand on his cheek.
“Look at me, Sherlock. Please don’t panic. I can…um…just. Damn, I got the clues wrong, didn’t I? Sorry.”
John withdraws and Sherlock’s suddenly cold, bereft of the warmth of John’s proximity. He opens his eyes. John’s standing by the window, a hand over his eyes, silently cursing himself. Sherlock walks over to him, uncertain how to proceed.
“John. What did I do wrong? I’m sorry. I should’ve congratulated you, but I was caught off guard. Didn’t observe.”
John looks over at him incredulously.
“What?” he asks.
Stupid! Stupid!
Sherlock pulls at his hair in frustration. How can he fix this? 
In the end he doesn’t have to. John, wonderful John, his conductor of light, his beloved John solves the puzzle.
He closes the gap between them, takes Sherlock’s hands and squeezes.
“I should’ve known you would go offline and draw the wrong conclusions at that outburst. It was stupid of me. I’m sorry. I was just so damn happy. No, Sherlock, don’t,” John says when Sherlock’s about to withdraw his hands.
“I’m rubbish at this aren’t I? The thing is, Sherlock. The reason I’m giving up dating, well, it’s you.”
John looks up at Sherlock, his feelings laid bare. His eyes are so full of…it can’t be, can it? Love? Surely Sherlock’s mistaken.
“John?” Sherlock whispers.
John lets go of his hands and cradles his face instead, his thumbs stroking his cheekbones. Sherlock closes his eyes and revels in the unfamiliar sensation.
“Look at you,” John murmurs. “So beautiful.”
The awe and affection in his voice, makes Sherlock shiver. He opens his eyes, feeling brave, desperately hoping he’s read the signs correctly. When their eyes meet, Sherlock knows. Knows why John’s giving up dating. It’s written all over John’s face. He lowers his head, reasting their foreheads together.
“You love me?” Sherlock asks shakily.
“God, yes, Sherlock,” John says and beams at him. “Can I kiss you?”
Sherlock doesn’t answer, but acts. He places his hands on John’s shoulders and finds John’s lips with his own. Soft and tender kisses turns deeper, and Sherlock feels like his body’s filled with fireworks. It sparkles all over. In his stomach, thighs, calves, arms, fingers, and god, when John runs his fingers through Sherlock’s hair, he moans with pleasure.
“Jesus,” John whispers reverently. “Your voice!”
***
It turns out that the two women closest to John and Sherlock had taken matters into their own hands. Both Molly and Mrs. Hudson were at their wits end when it came to the clueless men. Mrs. Hudson had warned John with more or less the same words Molly had used to get Sherlock’s attention, and in the end, it worked out perfectly.
“Witchcraft,” Sherlock mutters once he and John had compared stories.
“Well, I prefer to call it magic, my love,” John says gleefully and traces his fingers down Sherlock’s naked body.
“You’re one to talk,” Sherlock gasps as John’s fingers find his nipples.
John laughs in a low, wicked voice, and Sherlock shivers in anticipation. Witchcraft or magic, he doesn’t care. He makes a mental note to buy the two women flowers or… 
“Focus on me, Sherlock,” John whispers, and Sherlock’s nothing but obedient.
Cunning women working their magic on the boys. The story almost wrote itself when that idea emerged in my mind.

Symbols
The secondmost common marks, often appearing a few weeks after receiving the first signs. They have the appearance of fully healed tattoos, laying flat against the skin, similar to Writing Marks. Like all signs, they are only visible to the soulmates involved, and is not visible to those outside of the bond.
Adaptive Markings Markings that change in response to internal sources. Images or shapes appear on the skin that match your soulmate, and change with their emotional state. They are fluid, and do not stay still for long. Ex) Person A is a gardener. Person B has leaves and plant imagery that slowly spreads across their body over time. If Person A is upset, the flowers on Person B may wilt.
Mirroring Writing or images drawn onto the skin from an outside source will match on the opposite soulmate. If combined with physical signs, Person A may also feel the same sensation as Person B while writing or drawing on the skin.
Ex) Person A draws a flower on their hand, Person B will also see a flower on their hand.
Imprints Your body is painted where it is touched by your soulmate. This often occurs when two soulmates have met but have not confessed. Ex) Person A touches Person B's hand. Person B's hand will have an imprint of Person A's hand in a colour that matches Person A.
Clues Images or symbols that give you a clue as to where you will meet your soulmate will appear on your body in a significant spot. Ex) Person A and Person B are destined to meet in a coffee shop. Person A receives a symbol of a common latte pour pattern, Person B receives steam wrapped around their hand.
