The meaning can be found in the simplistic and easily remembered dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit tones.

Idea by @owliedoesnothing

i have nothing to do so i might just try learning something new. ive been thinking about morse code for a while because of stranger things and interstellar, if you have any tips or resources please share them with me <3 

>:3

Finally made more art of...

☆Cara Cowlatila☆

I finally got to make more art for Cara, I also cleaned up her backstory as well but I want to talk about this page first. Sorry if it's low quality, I took this at like 3am lol

It has some spoilers of what I'm planning for her, I mostly did it in red color pencil cause it doesn't stick to the other page for me luckily. I was originally going to us my acrylic markers for it so that's why they vitiligo spots on Cara profile drawing look new speaking of which I decided to draw a bust shot if Cara in a cherry bikini so I could get a better chance of planning out where she has vitiligo spots. I try to fill the page as best as possible, I really want to start making my sketchbook on of those chunky sketchbooks with all the fun interactive stuff in it so I'm planning to slowly at that in it.

Okay now for more Cara lore:

Cara is the second oldest out of 7 siblings which the primary oldest is her brother. She's in high school which due to her father's popularity as a famous bull rider means she goes to a fancy private school besides she brings home money since she works along side her father and brother. Every summer as a kid; she would be flied to America were her grandmother lived to spend time with her which she remembered two other boys there, one being four years older then her while the other was a whole fourteen years older.

To be clear most of the what I wrote up for is still her Canon but I did change a few things like:

She met the stardust crusaders before Iggy, she did fall in love with buster and called him her son after a couple of hours of him getting used to her and lot of coffee gum

There's still buff between her and Jotaro but the work good together

Instead of being able to stand on a horse, it's a bull now

Also she owns a gun now >:3

And that's all I have now so see ya'll later

Found this on pinterest a while ago and thought I'd try writing something.

It was raining again.

The girl watched from her window, eyes dazed as she focused on the sounds. There had been a time when she would hope for the message to change, for a • to change into a –. She had learnt over time to stop being delusional; the rain always brought bad news. Today, it was simple: a one word sentence, the same word, over and over, warning her of something she could not escape.

•–• ••– –•

Run.

How was she supposed to run from the rain? To hide from the sky? She had thought it would be a good idea to learn Morse Code, it would have been a great addition to her resume once she would go to college. But she had never thought the rain would drive her crazy. The dip-drip-drop of the water and the clip-clip-clop on her window was slowly making her drown in madness. The chaos of this horrendous symphony was taking over her every thought in a mess of what used to be genius.

Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.

She hated the rain, she had learned to fear its message for it was never wrong.

Thanks to @monetmightexist's comment, I think I've got the full thing now. I also tried to independently check what they suggested, and was able to get something which is somewhat close.

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 origin. Do not go beyond that wall, it is cursed It is sacred I'm coming bac[k].

I myself only got like... orifinnotgobeyamdd but like... ahh close enough. Anyway, just thought I'd add this :D

The new QSMP teaser - deep dive (morse code!!!!)

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

Flashing text

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?

The music

I don't know, heard it before, something classic. I doubt it has a deeper meaning though.

The spoken text

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 By Stephen Crane

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.”

In the Desert

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.

The light

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 Morse Code

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

Decrypting the morse code in the new QSMP teaser (a detailed explanation)

Quackity's new teaser for QSMP 2 (or something??) contained a long sequence of morse code which I... spent like 6 hours decrypting, and this is an explanation of how I did it (and you can, too, shall you wish to!)

I also posted a shorter analysis on my blog where I looked at all the different aspects of the video (the spoken words, the words flashing on the screen AND the morse code) in case you wanna learn more about the video in general.

The only program I used for this was audacity, which is free and which you can download quite easily.

Getting the audio ready

First, I recorded the audio by playing the video in one tab and recording it via Audacity in another using a tutorial here. Before that, I tried to use VLC, but it has a bug that makes it so it will only record the video and not the audio. Still, useful if you only want the video!

After I had the audio of the whole video, I needed to extract the morse code since in some sequences, it would be literally impossible (at least for me, dunno about you superhuman) to understand the morse code due to all the background noise. To do this, I first looked at a sequence where there was ONLY the morse code and nothing else and analyzed the spectrum of this.

This 'spectrum' is essentially just a graph of how much sound of a certain frequency (measured in Hz) is in a certain snippet that I selected.

The top is the frequency of the morse code, so the plan is to keep this frequency (469 Hz) and throw everything else out.

In order to do this, I used the menus which you can find in audacity under 'effects -> Dominic Mazzoni,' reduced the volume of everything above 480 Hz by 48 Db (there is an option for how much you want to reduce it, but seeing as we don't need it at all we might as well reduce it as much as possible) and same for everything below 460.

After cutting it, I was left with a recording of (mostly) only the morse code.

Decoding the morse code

Of course, I tried to do it the lazy way and punched the thing into a software which is supposed to be able to get morse code from recordings, CwGet. Did not work though, the thing is like REALLY old so I'd recommend searching another one. The only thing it DID grab correctly was 'is sacred im coming' but besides that it was just... bs.

SO, I had to do it myself.

(the best flowchart for morse code I was able to find)

Now, I won't bore you with all of the stuff where I wasn't sure about something and had to go over it over and over again, but one thing I do want to mention is that, in a very specific part, I did the filtering thing again, this time with 465 and 475 Hz though, and got an even cleaner result out of that. BUT, the more you do that the quieter the whole thing gets so I had to crank up the volume everywhere all the way. You hear it more clearly but it's quieter.

The following is, of course, not completely guaranteed to be true, but it sounds like the most logical one to me. IMSORRY .. -- ... --- .-. .-. -.-- IMSORRY .. -- ... --- .-. .-. -.-- IMSORRY .. -- ... --- .-. .-. -.-- PLEASEHELP .--. .-.. . .- ... . .... . .-.. .--. HELPHELP .... . .-.. .--. .... . .-.. .--.

1:27 in the recording RETURNTOYOUR .-. . - ..- .-. -. - --- -.-- --- ..- .-. Still unresolved what the following could mean (different versions): ORIEFIRL --- .-. .. . ..-. .. .-. .-.. ORIFISL --- .-. .. ..-. .. ... .-..

And also still unresolved but I only have one version for this: GFBEYAMMD --. ..-. -... . -.-- .- -- -- -..

THATWALL - .... .- - .-- .- .-.. .-.. ITISCURSED .. ... -.-. ..- ..-. ... . -.. ITISSACRED .. - .. ... ... .- -.-. .-. . -.. IMCOMING .. -- -.-. --- -- .. -. --. BAC -... .- -.-. I still haven't been able to find the missing k 'back' technically has, it is possible it comes WAYYYY later and so I don't have it in my recording, but I think the message is clear enough.

There are still passages where I am completely unsure what they mean. It could be me not understanding it correctly, but the rest has been fairly easy so I don't know about that. It could also be encrypted or just complete bullshit. Either way, if you want to give it a try and see if you can make something of it, please feel free to give it a listen!

The complete text reads as:

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/ORIFISLGFBEYAMMD (yes no idea either)) That wall, it is cursed It is sacred I'm coming bac[k].

brackets [ ] where there should be something in order for it to make sense but there isn't.

me and the team took a little vacation from animal adventures, we all decided to stay at home.

during that time i started learning morse code and was amazed at how easy it really was

when we finally returned to the adventures I could already read and listen to simple messages in Morse

But now I wish I never learned it...

ㅤㅤ

now every day I hear the animals say "it's about to happen... there is no salvation"

SOS

This captain is going down with his ship

Of course I have thought about ditching and abandoning

But I guess it’s seen as better if you just sink with your heart,

When you know you’ve failed

I am superman

I am a man of steel

I am a king

Of course I'm scared

But “Even if all you do is fail, then fail and fail again”

I'm climbing a ladder and I'm scared I won’t be able to get back down

Once I make it to the top I must brace myself for the dreaded fall

I am scared

I am not shore

I am crazy within my idiocy

I must do what floats my boat

My life is a sinking ship, not Noah’s Ark

And I can’t find the life boats

Or the flare

I am an iceberg

I am a rock

I am an island

I am sinking on the quicksand of confusion from the ship of Theseus

I should hold my breath

And put a message in a bottle

That won’t make it back to land in time

Dit dit dit

Da da da
