#it's like morse code

[dinosaur-mayonnaise]

the victorians really got it right with flower language. it's like beginner's guide to symbolism. any time i read a victorian text that mentions a single flower i race over to allflorists.co.uk (not an ad) before i can even finish the sentence to figure out the "hidden" meaning. it's like the boxed cake mix of literature.

WE HAVE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a code in the German website with a phone number and when you call that number then you get this message:

Thank you anon :)

I recorded the message if someone wants to hear it.

According to twitter the morse code spells out: endurance and end / end...

Warriors: I wonder if ghosts ever try to communicate through morse code

Wind: I have no idea what that is but in my experience, no

Warriors: in your experience??

Valgrace hc that Jason is the only one who can read Leo's handwriting. Like it's a serious problem.

This was part of my undergrad illustration thesis, which was illustrations to accompany the text of Shakespeare's The Tempest, repurposing aesthetics and imagery from the rural New Hampshire village where I grew up.

Reposting this piece from May 2020, because it is now available as a print, and Tumblr is being weird about letting me edit the original post to add alt text and a link.

Every time someone misinterprets THIS scene as a Valgrace moment, an angel gets its wings RIPPED OFF ITS BODY

The things I do in boredom... <- has a lot on her to-do list

Basically Morse code stuff but kinda stylized for each vessel/voice pairs

.... . .-. --- & .--. .-. .. -. -.-. . ... ... : normal Morse code. Stripes and dots/circles

-... . .- ... - & .... ..- -. - . -.. : leaves and simple circles!! Usually wavy base line like vines

.-- .. - -.-. .... & --- .--. .--. --- .-. - ..- -. .. ... - : small and tall thorns and flower for spacing, also wavy base line like vines

.--. .-. .. ... --- -. . .-. & ... -.- . .--. - .. -.-. : Chains, very obvious. Alternatively, the spacing (square) could be switched with the circle chain instead. Lengthier chain link = stripes

-.. .- -- ... . .-.. & ... -- .. - - . -. : vaguely half heart shapes

.- -.. ...- . .-. ... .- .-. -.-- & ... - ..- -... -... --- .-. -. : is the most difficult to read.. urgh my bad. The Rivalry duo's pattern is supposed to be short and long \ with triangles as spacing

- --- .-- . .-. & -... .-. --- -.- . -. : cracks. I just think it would look neat and ominous.

-. .. --. .... - -- .- .-. . & .--. .- .-. .- -. --- .. -.. : heartbeat! Similar to Betrayal's

... .--. . -.-. - .-. . & -.-. --- .-.. -.. : wispy.. thingies ~. The single ~ represents the dot and double ~ represents stripe

.-. .- --.. --- .-. & -.-. .... . .- - . -.. : similar to Betrayal and Devotion, uses the "perfect"/nonslanted triangles for spacing

... - .-. .- -. --. . .-. & -.-. --- -. - .-. .- .-. .. .- -. : swirls and.. um horizontal ( <-this with z as a kind of spacing symbol because I didn't know what else to put ehe..

salutations, callsigns audience!

sorry for the radio silence on day 5 post-challenge updates and puzzle week conclusions. I have not even Started any of the necessary grading or artwork.

my current priority is actually schoolwork? so. i have been. doing schoolwork and taking breaks to draw my other characters in the meantime. I will pick up work for day five today after I do my homework and you'll hopefully hear from me regarding the conclusion of this event by this weekend. God willing. No later than Sunday, April 20.

Sorry for dragging this out for all four evers, but thank you immensely for your patience and flexibility, especially regarding things like Me And My Major Mistake Of Accidentally Missing Four Sudokus. I would rather be a little late than cut corners on production quality to meet deadlines.

See you soon! Stay tuned. - the one and only callsigns admin

Gens the type of person to know random trivia and skills. Like remeber how he just so happened to know the best paper plane design? He definitely knows how to do a range of just obscure things and random bits of information.

For instance he knows a range of different knots and when to use them, probably initially cause he was interested in those escape artists and fell down that rabbit hole. He knows flower languages, how to juggle, knows a large range of ciphers, knows the basics of sewing (had to learn for his magic tricks), best ways to tame certain animals like birds (he could probably bird whistle), he's also a fair bit more knowledge than the average person about lenses and reflection (also cause of his magic, perspective is an important thing and this is the reason he knew how telescopes work).

His skillset is incredibly complex because it covers a range of just obscure things, but it's the way he applies his knowledge that is his greatest strength. He constantly has to bed the traditional uses for regular things as a magician, so it's no wonder he can adapt well in the stone era.

The language of miners.

A little thoughts. Some time ago, I was visited by the idea that some of the cybertronians might have developed a universal language because of a particular work. Just imagine that you have been spending almost your whole life on one or another job, this cannot but affect you. One way or another, the profession leaves its mark.

And that’s what I thought about. What if … the miners have developed their own language, which they practice from one generation to other generation? Just think the mines is a dark, dangerous place, you can also encounter Sparkeater (or any other monsters), even heavy noise or vibration can lead to a collapse or attract the attention of dangerous creatures. What language is best suited if even speak in unstable areas can be dangerous?

Bio light. Language from flashes of light, this is quiet and universal for a dark place. Just imagine, the miners spend most of the time developing the sleeves of the mines and I doubt very much that the lighting would be extended everywhere. Obviously, the furs of this profession has flashlights (if you look at the Terminus, they are part of its helmet), I think that the lines of the bio lights among the cybertronians can also be bright enough to illuminate a small space around themselves.

I think this language could resemble something like Morse code. Short or long flashes, just imagine how fast the miners must react to read each other's messages. It is also quite universal, in the sense that the language for this profession is single and does not have branches, like for example in the language of the Seeker wings (I suppose that the difference between Vos and other cities of flying bots can most likely be, the language is still common, but the accents and dialects can be different. Like the languages ​​of one group on Earth, for example, like among the Slavic peoples). This would suggest that they can probably flash biofires more strongly (well, in theory they are brighter than other Cybertronians), I also think that young miners probably remember it faster than normal speech. It would be funny to see a young miner trying to communicate in this way with a bot whose profession does not intersect with miners. Imagine police bots that depending on the city or state can often cross paths with miners and can speak this flash language fluently. There are so many applications for this and it would be really interesting.

I think by the way, in addition to the flashes, it would be logical to add body language and maybe touch. That miners can be quite tactile, you know, tap a comrade gently on the shoulder with their fingers to get attention (I think they can move quietly so as not to cause a lot of vibrations, so getting attention in this way would be logical) or point at something and only then the bio lights come into play. That's why groups of miners could be closely related. Their communication culture would simply imply close contact for communication.

If someone asks, imagine a young Megatron writing poetry and putting on a real light show for the rest of the miners, it's crazy haha. This language may not be understood by others, so it has advantages both in terms of romantic manifestations and in military affairs. Considering that many Decepticons were from lesser professions, the language of bio ligths would be common among their.
