“Dance With Me”

Context: While trying to understand the true intentions of a certain cat, Bert-Bert ends up meddling in what he doesn't understand.

This comic was inspired by the idea that while there might be Narilamb in this AU, you have to remember that my lamb is not exactly “The Lamb” in this universe.

So I wanted to explore a little more about it (owo)

Let's see what comes out, but until then, this is all for now <(UuU)>

¡I hope you like it!

(By the way, ¿did you like the encrypted message in the first image? (>w<) Hehehe)

I'm learning pigpen cipher for the funsies! I write pretty fluently now but deciphering is still kinda slow :')

(@cyber-seagull404 introduced me to it so thank you for that! :) I'm literally writing pigpen on every scrap of paper I can find, it's so fun)

[hahaweevil]

[that-bi-fan]

bored? art block? fuck it. make magic sigils using a pigpen cipher.

pigpen, for those who don't know what it is:

will try to add alt id's later. have headache.

If anybody wants something written in pigpen cipher lmk bc i am hyperfixating hard on it rn

[mbat]

just went wild

A little tutorial for Celtipen*

*also available in more reader-friendly font under the cut

It uses this script to write and this site to design the knots themselves.

Opal! Her fit is what I wore in the og splatoon :0

[cryptidcobalt]

have I talked about how much I love codes? I don't think so. I just recently found wizpen which is a less-ambiguous (and IMO prettier) take on a pigpen cipher that I've been absolutely buzzing about. coded text is my favorite and wizpen is sooooo pretty

you can squish it together with no space between the characters and it stays legible!!! that's so cool!!!!

Salutations, nice to speak again. Apologies if this sounds far fetched, or stupid, us three haven't been very caught up recently.

How are your relations with 0̴͈̓͐0̵̗̖͒0̴̼̈0̷͕̭̖̔̊̃? Or well, I guess, Null. Unit 7136. I can't help but notice that sync code you used a couple posts ago. ➡️🅰️➡️⬅️⬅️➡️🅱️?

isn't that the code null used...?

Indeed.

The Cipher Is Made From The New Logo

ive finally put 2 and 2 together for why we thought it was some kind of pigpen cipher

the new generation logo we got is the base for founders cipher = Edit: I've been seeing people using this so I updated it with all the letters and order, thanks for the support :) = -Tophat

Another late little Sylus birthday thing. I was upset when I hit the word limit on the actual card, so I decided to let it all out so I didn't have to pay attention in class

Translated:

My dearest dragon,

Whose heart smells like flowers,

To whom my soul belongs,

You deserve to feel safe,

Secure and happy,

Forever and always.

All my love is yours.

Happy birthday.

So I hid assorted pointy Breyer horses around the house while Lynati was out of town visiting her dad for Christmas.

Some of them had clues associated with them written in pigpen cipher, but others were just hidden waiting for her to find them. :3

This is the one she just found, which I am most proud of hiding (and honestly expended way too many spoons climbing up to hide it, but it was funny).

Lysander the unicorn was tied up there with cotton yarn. BONDAGE HORSE! HORSE SHIBARI!

The craft room is several doors down from Lynati's bedroom, but I figured, as Horror movie protagonists have taught us, people don't usually look up. I thought she'd either find him very quickly or it'd be like a month and a half.

Anyway, @lynati found him this evening.

[junewild]

it turned out that it was actually a cuneiform substitution cipher but it also turned out that i’m also an expert in cryptography so i just brute-forced it before we found half the letter clues

went to an escape room tonight & during the opening spiel the gm said “now, i heard one of you was an expert in ancient sumerian…” and all of my friends immediately turned and looked at me

That is a code, your honor

I stayed away from Link Click in order to avoid any spoiler, to the point I only discovered today that episode 1 of the Yingdu chapter was released last friday.

There is a long frame by frame rewatch already waiting for me but, at this moment, I only want to focus on this frame in the opening:

I don't know if anyone has already done it but I've cracked the code and I wish to share it with you.

Yes, that is a proper code and is fully decipherable, if you want to solve it yourself I'll share some hints on how to do it, otherwise you can just skip to the actual message section down below.

Have fun!

HOW TO DECIPHER THE CODE, step by step

The message is in English, lucky for us non-Chinese viewers;

2. the code uses a substitution cipher, which means every symbol corresponds to a specific letter and that letter only.

With these two clues alone I think you can already approach the message, but if you wish for more hints, here they are:

3. I could think of two different ways to decipher the code, one takes longer but it requires only one cipher; the other one is easier but there is a twist to keep in mind.

4. The longer method consists of classical substitution cipher solving approach: symbols, or set of symbols, that occurs more often in the message can be correlated with letters (E, T, ...) or words (THE, AND, ...) that occurs more often in the english language.

5. The easier way is to recognise that the symbols belong to a well known cipher: the pigpin cipher! You can google it, see the pic below

or just check my solution:

-XLI LIEVX SJ XLI JSVIWX E WYHHIr- -MG WTVIEH EQSRK XLI ERMQEPW JSB- -VIGXMRK IPITLERX XS HSYWY XLI JPEQI- -MJXPC WTVIEHMRK QIWWEKIW SJ YVK- -SAIZIV SRPC GEVIH EFSYX JPIIMRK- -XLI JSVIWX WYGGYQFIH XS XLI JMVIW-

HIXIVQMRIH XS TVIZIRX WYGL XVEKIH- LMVIH E HIXIGXMZI XS YRGSZIV XLI- HMWGSZIVIH AEW FICSRH XLIMV AM- MQEKMREXMSRW

LI FIPMIZIH XLEX XLI OIC XS- XS IPMQMREXI EPP TSXIRXMEP- MKRMXI XVSYFPI

Wait what?! That is not a solution! True, and that is the twist: pigpen alone doesn't solve the code, you need one more step, another substitution cipher.

6. This is a Caesar Cipher with key 4!

THE ACTUAL MESSAGE

-(t)he heart of the forest a sudde(n)- -ic spread among the animals fox- -recting elephant to dousu the flame- -iftly spreading messages of urg- -(h)owever only cared about fleeing- -the forest succumbed to the fires

Determined to prevent such traged(y)- hired a detective to uncover the- discovered was beyond their wi- imaginations

He believed that the key to- to eliminate all potential- ignite trouble

THE BLABBERING

Already many interesting things everywhere!

This message implies the existence of 5+ people: the writer of the message; the target of the message; the hired detective; the "He" mentioned in the third paragraph; the "all potential" trouble igniters (at least 2, I'd say) that should be eliminated. The blond woman seems to be the target, since the message is under her cup of tea; Liu Xiao could be the detective but I bet he is the "He"; the trouble igniters are definitely Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi and the whole gang. The other two characters are way less obvious, we can only assume their identity based on which one is missing; I can only speculate that Vein could be the detective, but he could also be your basic assassin; Finally, Xia Fei could be the writer of the message, if we accept the idea that he and the woman might be somehow blood related.

Then, we have the proper content of the message: a burning forest is mentioned and we know from S2 that a forest appears in Lu Guang's memory of CXS dying (and in the opening as well). Why so much emphasys is placed on the forest?

The next sentence "determined to prevent such traged(y)" might be the most revealing: what is the tragedy? The forest on fire or something else? If it's the former, how can the fire be prevented it it has already happened? Either, they dive back in the past and change it, which we know is no-go option, or the forest on fire was a vision from the future and there is someone (Liu Xiao?) with the ability to either foresee or actually dive in the future, completing the past, present and future pattern.

And this is all coming from just one frame. One Frame.

Welcome back to the delightfully hellish Link Click.

Edit: Guys, I'm so silly, a few second later the cup is removed and the code becomes visible almost entirely...a part 2 is required.

[official-linguistics-post]

can you tell me what the hell is going on with the waffle house order language. does linguistics actually work here i mean its all just a cipher for various nouns but like are there affixes? other things i don't remember since this isn't my field? also i really want to know if the waffle house order code has had any noticeable linguistic evolution or anything like that. from what i can tell its like some insane pigpen cipher on the plate

i'd have to look up old menus for any kind of developmental analysis but i think it's just a straightforward shorthand, no other grammatical features in play. it's not even a real cipher since there's not key-based encryption.

(for the unaware: waffle house, the american restaurant chain, has a famous system of ordering hash browns. the complexity is mostly introduced by people's tastes.)
