So I've been writing stories, playing TTRPG and doing basically anything which would require one to come up with a character. Problem is,
Of course, you can build a character's background, their job, their zodiac sign, but what I'm really missing is how to find out how these characters would actually behave, their mannerisms, the way they talk, all of that which makes a human unique and more than just a stat block on a piece of paper.
(It's why I'm writing fanfiction a lot, I know the characters and can sort of guess how they'd behave but it is beyond me how I should do that from scracth so to Tumblr I go pls send help, sincerely, a writer desperately wanting to write original stories 👍)
This is a (still relatively short) deep dive into all most of the hidden messages in the new teaser Quackity posted in which we are going BACK TO THE ISLAND!
If you want a more detailed explanation of how I figured out the morse code, check out my other post!
Index: - Flashing text on the screen - The music - The spoken words (poem) - The light - The MORSE CODEEE
The flashing text which could be seen on the screen reads:
Return safe your journey is high not over
I thought at first it would be 'your journey is nigh,' as in close in time, BUT it actually does say high. Which is weird.
Maybe as in plane or wall?
I don't know, heard it before, something classic. I doubt it has a deeper meaning though.
During the later part of the video, a presumably artifical voice reads a quite odd... collection of words. First, @mossybee-exe and I made some guesses about the words, since not all of them can be heard clearly, which together form:
In the desert, I saw a creature [unintelligable] whom, squatting on the ground, held his heart in his hands and ate of it. I said, 'is it good, friend?' 'It is bitter (than that?),' he answered, 'but I like it -- Interval where the texts lay over and you can't really understand SHIT -- (house and death??) but I like it because it is bitter and because it is my heart.'
NOW
I took this and put it into a duckduckgo search because I was already suspecting that it was a poem. And I was right.
In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, “Is it good, friend?” “It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it “Because it is bitter, “And because it is my heart.”
I also found an interpretation of it (https://poemanalysis.com/stephen-crane/in-the-desert/), though I don't really see how it could be connected to anything else yet. Does match the whole creepy vibe of it though.
I thought that it could be morse code, but... I don't know. The blinking seems very erractic, but I also can't put a finger on what it could mean.
The part I spent the longest on, but also my absolute favourite.
If you want to read how I decoded it in a LOT more detail, I'll put up another post on my blog! Check it out if you like that stuff :D
The morse code decoded is:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry please help, help, help SOS SOS SOS It's not real, it's not possible to have this You are meant for this You are meant for this You are meant [to] return to your (ORIEFIRLGFBEYAMMD or ORIFISLGFBEYAMMD (yes no idea either)) That wall, it is cursed It is sacred I'm coming bac[k].
brackets [ ] where, logically, there should be something but isn't.
ANDDD this is it, thank you for reading! <3
get okay with being some level of burden on others, seriously
nowhere else on the internet can you get content like this
