More silly art from (well, inspired by, rlly) Bitty Hunt :P

Oh, and this one is just because I like bitties, yep

Bitty hunt comment part 1

So this is a more focused on the ciphers and theories of the comment I made on @rnd-injustice who made the story, Bitty Hunt, which has been a great read! For basically everyone who hasn’t seen the comment it can be found here. I will be posting shortly about the thoughts I have of the current story that I washed over in the comment. Enjoy!

So first thing I need to address is the codes, so it is all codes that are very familiar if you have been watching gravity falls. This makes my life easier for the encrypting with this website, as mentioned by ‘This takes me back to when I was watching gravity falls and always being on this website, themysteryofgravityfalls, it had so many mysteries!’ 

That website actually great for deciphering codes. I decided to make it easier by a more obvious code, the A1Z26 cipher with the codes 

‘23-5-12-12 9-6 25-15-21 8-1-4 20-9-13-5 20-15 4-5-3-9-16-8-5-18 20-8-9-19 5-1-19-25 20-8-9-14-7, 19-9-14-3-5 25-15-21 16-18-15-2-1-2-12-25 14-15-20-9-3-5-4 20-8-5 14-21-13-2-5-18-19 15-14 20-8-5 3-15-13-13-5-14-20 1-14-4 20-8-5 14-21-13-2-5-18-19 15-14 20-8-5 16-1-7-5. 20-8-5 16-15-20-5-14-20-9-1-12 19-16-15-9-12-5-18 20-8-9-14-7 9 16-21-20 9-19 17-21-9-20-5 5-1-19-25 1-6-20-5-18 20-8-9-19, 1-6-20-5-18 1-12-12 9 20-15-12-4 25-15-21 20-8-5 11-5-25 9-14 20-8-5 22-5-18-25 19-1-13-5 1-18-5-1 9-14 20-8-5 3-15-13-13-5-14-20, 19-15-13-5-20-9-13-5-19 25-15-21 10-21-19-20 8-1-22-5 20-15 20-1-11-5 20-8-9-14-7-19 1 2-9-20 13-15-18-5 12-9-20-5-18-1-12-12-25. 9 11-14-15-23 20-8-9-19 9-19 16-18-5-20-20-25 15-22-5-18-20 2-21-20 18-5-1-12-12-25 20-8-5 15-21-20 15-6 20-5-14 20-8-9-14-7 23-1-19 20-8-5 15-14-12-25 23-1-25 6-15-18 9-20 20-15 8-1-22-5 1-20 12-5-1-19-20 /19-15-13-5/ 19-5-14-19-5, 19-15 9-20 9-19-14'20 10-21-19-20 19-3-18-5-1-13-9-14-7, "8-5-25 20-8-9-19 9-19 1 3-15-4-5!" out of 10!’   

Though since you now know how to decipher it, I might as well just tell you right now what it is.

“WELL IF YOU HAD TIME TO DECIPHER THIS EASY THING, SINCE YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THE NUMBERS ON THE COMMENT AND THE NUMBERS ON THE PAGE. THE POTENTIAL SPOILER THING I PUT IS QUITE EASY AFTER THIS, AFTER ALL I TOLD YOU THE KEY IN THE VERY SAME AREA IN THE COMMENT, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE THINGS A BIT MORE LITERALLY.                                                                                                          I KNOW THIS IS PRETTY OVERT BUT REALLY THE OUT OF TEN THING WAS THE ONLY WAY FOR IT TO HAVE AT LEAST /SOME/ SENSE, SO IT ISN'T JUST SCREAMING, "HEY THIS IS A CODE!"

Now.... that is actually only there to give you a hint about the actual main code: Bmjzbxl mm tmj kpce?

For this I will only say that it is a theory on why she is a bitty, I felt like it was a bit too spoilery for my liking and so on that website I used a Vigenère cipher that had a key. Now in the number code it states, “THE POTENTIAL SPOILER THING I PUT IS QUITE EASY AFTER THIS, AFTER ALL I TOLD YOU THE KEY IN THE VERY SAME AREA IN THE COMMENT, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE THINGS A BIT MORE LITERALLY.”

This is seen in “I feel like the key to everything is Miss. Bitty” The key to everything.... Including the cipher.

So this is why other than for the extremely long post, why the additional reading comes into play. Since this is the only time I am actually fully showing translations of the ciphers I will do. So using “Miss Bitty” as the key it says,

“[I find her character intriguing since something clearly happened] Perhaps to her soul? Constriction/concentration magic on the soul in the past that is covert, which reduces the size of the soul. So even though humans don't have major appearance changes from their soul, the soul size establishes height and so if there was a way to reduce the soul size they can cause someone to obtain bitty like qualities.“

That is my theory on why she changed without any mentions of labs or any major trauma. She goes on about fond memories of her prior family in the house, like her dad, but she doesn’t seem to have memories of anything bad when they bring up at the start about why they are surprised “She is the only Bitty to remember before”. She could have locked away memories in between the times with Dad and the current time, yet over the instability of these days there has been no indication of such event. Thus this leaves me with the idea of covert magic constriction of the soul. The covert nature means she, and others like the skeles, have no clue why she is small but she has never been in a confrontation to result in seeing her soul. This is why I think it is a result of a constricting soul. (Now I am thinking about it, it could be because of emotional trauma from her father passing away, her family leaving the house and the emotional collapse causing her to mentally withdraw herself away from family. Then her soul reacted and obtained its bitty quality and she still has these trust issues as it hasn’t been resolved, as seen by the fact of reluctant nature to call the skeles family and the distrust she has of others naturally.

Some doodles from Bitty Hunt! 

Just my bitty reader getting angsty with the skeles in chapter 10 <3

Oh yes, and that scene with reader becoming a tiny skeleton from the first Ink Service chapter. I love those

There were no mini glasses for a myopic reader TToTT
