Film Noir (from the French meaning Black Film) is a genre of cinema that emerged during the early 1940s and continued until the late 1950s. It is characterised by it’s distintive stylisation of cinematography and it’s focus on crime, mystery and sex. Taking many cues from early German expressionism, Film Noir offered an immersive thematic experience that was very different to that of other contemporary melodramas. Several techniques and plot devices came to define the genre, including voiceovers, the inventive use of light and shadow, the protagonist’s need to seek out some truth, and the famed ‘femme fatale’ figure. 


kate-argent: Because of reasons. The downloads are .zips so that the cyberpolice don’t break down my door, and within the .zips is an .epub of the book. You can view them on your computer with FBReader, or on an iOS device with Readmill. I’ve also linked the Goodreads page for each book so you can see whether or not the book is up your alley, and read what other people thought of it. This is not necessarily a recommendation post because I haven’t yet read all of these, nor is it a comprehensive collection of every Borgia book out there: it’s just pretty much every Borgia ebook out there.

Meyer (mediafire / box)The Borgias and Their Enemies by Christopher Hibbert (mediafire / box)The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli (mediafire / box).

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.

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

can somebody who’s a lot deeper and more creative than I figure out what happened on Charlotte’s birthday that HeR didn’t want to blatantly explain?

According to clara it was just a joke. She knew about the will change and went to confront charlotte and she did. She wanted to just set a small fire but it got out of hand (it is a very old building; lots of dry wood). But of course this is what clara told us so its possible its all lies. Im almost certain that charlotte discovered who claras father really was (with all those secret codes she was certainly smart enough to figure it out and ssomething did have her worried about claras reaction - could be more than just the will) and it was such a scandel (lower class, incest, a criminal, take your pick) that clara snapped. Thats why she set the fire. Not as a joke but to destroy the secret with the only other person who knew. But thats just speculation

OHH MY GOD I’M LIKE LEGIT CRYING BECAUSE I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT BUT IT’S REALLY TWISTED
