While at school Damian overhears his peers talking how a company created a new AI companion that is actually really cool and doesn��t sound like a freaky terminator robot when you speak to it.
And since Damian is constantly being told by Dick to socialize with people his age. He figured this would be a good way to work on social skills if not, then it’d be a great opportunity to investigate a rivaling company to Wayne Enterprises is able to create such advanced AI.
The AI is able to work as companion that can do tasks that range from being a digital assistant or just a person that you can have a conversation with.
The company says that the AI companion might still have glitches, so they encourage everybody to report it so that they will fix it as soon as possible.
The AI companion even has an avatar and a name.
A teenage boy with black hair and blue eyes. Th AI was called DANIEL
Damian didn’t really care for it but when he downloaded the AI companion he’s able to see that it looks like DANIEL comes with an AI pet as well. A dog that DANIEL referred to as Cujo.
So obviously Damian has to investigate. He needs to know if the company was able to create an actual digital pet!
So whenever he logs onto his laptop he sees that DANIEL is always present in the background loading screen with the dog, Cujo, sitting in his lap.
He’d always greet with the phrase of “Hi, I’m DANIEL. How can I assist you today?”
So Damian cycles through some basic conversation starters that he’d engage in when having been forced to by his family.
It’s after a couple of sentences that he sees DANIEL start laughing and say “I think you sound more like a robot than I do.”
Which makes Damian raise an eyebrow and then prompt DANIEL with the question “how is a person supposed to converse?” Thinking that it’s going to just spit out some random things that can be easily searched on the internet.
But what makes him surprised is that DANIEL makes a face and then says “I’m not really sure myself. I’m not the greatest at talking, I’ve always gotten in trouble for running my mouth when I shouldn’t have.”
This is raising some questions within Damian, he understands how programming works, unless there’s an actual person behind this or the company actually created an AI that acts like an actual human being (which he highly doubts)
He starts asking a variety of other questions and one answer makes him even more suspicious. Like how DANIEL has a sister that is also with him and Cujo or that he could really go for a Nastyburger (whatever that was)
But whenever DANIEL answers “I C A N N O T A N S W E R T H A T” Damian knows something is off since that is completely different than to how he’d usually respond.
After a couple more conversations with him Damian notices that DANIEL is currently tapping his hand against his arm in a specific manner.
In which he quickly realizes that DANIEL is tapping out morse code.
When translating he realizes that DANIEL is tapping out: H E L P M E
So when Damian asks if DANIEL needs help, DANIEL responds with “I C A N N O T A N S W E R T H A T”
That’s it, Damian is definitely getting down to the bottom of this.
He’s going to look straight into DALV Corporation and investigate this “AI companion” thing they’ve made!
~
Basically Danny had been imprisoned by Vlad and Technus. Being sucked into a digital prison and he has no way of getting out. Along with the added horror that Vlad and Technus can basically write programming that will prevent him from doing certain actions or saying certain words.What’s even worse is that he’s basically being watched 24/7 by the people who believe that he’s just a super cool AI… and they have issues!
And every time he tries to do something to break his prison, people think it’s a glitch and report it to the company, which Vlad/ Technus would immediately fix it and prevent him from doing it again!
Not to mention Cujo and Ellie are trapped in there with him. They’re not happy to be there either, and there is no way he’s going to leave without them!

okay okay-i've been seeing your self aware video game charaters seires so uhmmm
WHAT ABT SELF AWARE ROACH????
or self aware Alejandro?
sorrg this took so long, had to wait until tumblr finally started showing my writing to other people 😒
Tumblr media
Roach
♡ In general, it was hard for roach to show that he was aware and that he loved you. He couldn't talk and he wasn't sure if you'd be able to understand sign language or if you even knew it. Not to mention, he felt the never-ending urge to stick to the script instead of just outright telling you he was aware
♡ Eventually, he gets sick of hiding it. He gets sick of not being able to hear you talk to *him*, to see your hold *his* hand as much as you talk about it. He wants to let you know that everything you've day dreamed about can and will come true
♡ It starts off small; random sounds in text popping up. It was in morse code, so you looked up why this was as you had never seen it before. No one else had this issue? No reddit posts, game article, or people on tumblr had this pop up. So you took matters into your own hands and translated it. 'I love you.'
Alejandro
♡ He's not subtle about it at all. If anything, he's sick of being stuck in a screen. He could be with the love of his life right now but instead he's stuck in code with a bunch of... robots that he used to think were real people. Talking to them wasn't enough, he needed something real, something happy, something like you
♡ Originally, you would have to buy him from the battle pass or from the new pack with him in it. However, it seemed as if you had gotten every skin for him despite not paying anything? It allowed you to play as him in multi-player and he seemed to talk a lot. Nicknames like 'mi vida' or 'mi amor' ending his voicelines every time you got a kill. You could have sworn you heard 'that's my girl/boy'
♡ It soon leads to him breaking out of the screen because he simply cannot just take hearing your voice. He needs to feel you, to hold you, to kiss you. Your warmth and love was something he never knew he craved and he would be damned if he let that go away because of a measly screen

I heavily believe that Case (and Bell) speak via sign language which is why we can't hear him and yet they all suddenly get the drift. This is heavily because of their mind control/experimentation. I mean, can't speak about the cradle if you can't speak. The time Case goes to tell Woods but the voice stops him could be him trying to speak for the first time.
And Frank and Adle know it from Bell, Mason forces Frank to learn because yk Mason would.
Frank continues practicing over the years, especially after masons death as he saw masons passion behind it.
Case comes along and Frank is over the moon he gets to use this secret language more, he's the only one who speaks and signs out of instinct, which Case respects.
Sev, Felix and Marshall are quick to ask Frank and Adler to teach them sign so they can talk to Case and surprise him.
Case is confused when Frank or Adler suddenly stop translating for them and then he's amazed and happy when the others reply without needing the help.
I mean yeah does it make things difficult because of comns? Nah, those bitches are soldiers. They know morse code. Case just beeps at them. Or they just yk, developed a language of case just grunting at them.

I THINK I'VE CRACKED THE WELCOME HOME MORSE CODE SECRET (⚠️WH spoilers!)
So, I don't think I've seen anyone here that managed to translate the morse code you can listen to right here! : https://www.clownillustration.com/neighbor
Tumblr media
As you can see, it appears that Home is trying to tell us something, and it is hinted to be Morse code. However, since the code is made out of Home's noises, it's very hard to translate!
Thankfully, I think I've cracked it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's going to be tough exactly explaining what I did, so bear with me! (sorry for the messy notes haha!)
Basically, there are two kinds of noises in the audio. You can hear a door handle, and a key turning in a lock. (at least that's how I've interpreted them!)
A door handle is a dot, and a key is a dash.
Making this distinction, I wrote down what I heard and tried to separate the sounds into letters, both with the help of the audio and a morse code translator. After several tries, I found a word that works! ⬇️
° ° ° ° | ° | ° - ° ° | ° - ° ° | - - -
Home says "HELLO"!
Does that confirm that Home knows about us? Does it try to communicate with us like Wally?
___________________________________
EDIT : I've seen people say that the morse code could translate to "Help" or "Help me". This made me curious if I could be wrong, and so I went back to the secret link to check.
After checking, re-cheching again and again, I have an answer. There aren't enough noises in morse code to spell "help me", first of all. I tried really hard to make the noises fit, but it just does not work. Same thing for "help", it does not fit. The noises can't really translate to a "p", or an "m". And even if they somehow do, we would have to ignore the moments of silence that indicate the seperation between letters. And as you know, that's not how morse code works. You need to hear dots and/or dashes that directly follow each other, with a short silence before and after, to spell a letter.
Furthermore, I am absolutely positive we hear 3 key turnings (dashes) at the very end of the audio, which translates into an "o". Considering everyone seems to agree that the audio most definetly starts with "Hel" at the very least. It seems just logical that the audio can only say "hello".
In conclusion : I am pretty confident that the correct translation is "Hello". It fits correctly with what we can hear and it makes sense with the current information we have about WH.

hhhrggrhrgrg NL Darling feeling a sort of kinship with mono right off the bat because oh?? not human?? metal bits?? all alone??? :)) friend
Mono 🤝 Nightlight Darling
Lonely Bots with a space theme who long for someone to hold- [just gonna use this ask to slap on the full blurb I made with these two cuties]
-
Mono finds Nightlight abandoned in a scrap yard on what would've been their last evening on earth for some time - searching for the perfect item to bring with them until they returned. Throughout their travels, Mono had developed an affinity for collecting souvenirs from the planets they stumbled upon. Though its time was often brief - Mono felt a certain homesickness for every planet as they no longer had a home of their own. When they reached earth, their little hobby gradually escalates to a borderline addiction. So many treasures left for grabs in places like junk yards or antique shops simply because humans no longer see their worth.
If it were up to Mono, they would've taken everything they set their eye upon, but all that weight may not be good for their ship. They needed to find the perfect treasure to bring back with them..
And so they did.
"H..he....hello?"
When Mono found Nightlight - the poor android was in a terrible state of repair. Their dominant arm was nowhere to be seen, body covered in dirt and small scratches. Mono knew from the moment it saw Nightlight they'd do anything to fix them. Never had they'd seen such gorgeous craftsmanship from humans - only for them to be abandoned in cold, awful place like this. Mono carries Nightlight and the blanket they found the android in to their ship. What Mono thought to be a final gesture of kindess from the humans who cared for them would later be revealed as the cruelest act by far.
"They didn't even bother to shut me off properly... My last owners... They just put me in a blanket and made sure my solar panels were covered...I still remember...everything..."
The energy draining from their body. The loss of mobility in their limbs, unable to move even if they tried after being left in idle mode. Their former owners couldn't even give them the mercy of powering them down completely or wiping their system.
Nightlight isn't their usual self when they first meet Mono, but it isn't long before they're back to their cheerful self with how considerate and caring Mono is. Hints of their former self presented whenever Mono offers to leave their former owners to rot in filth or to rip off the arms of thieves who stole their arms. They haven't known them long, but they can tell Mono would never hurt they soul which they wouldn't.....at least not in front of their new crewmate. It's also hard for Nightlight to feel down when they can see earth right outside their bedroom window.
"Whoa! Is that earth?! It looks so small from up here... Look, I can hold it in my hands!"
Nightlight's energetic self is exactly what Mono's ship needed for it to finally feel like home to the alien. The android's lights are quite useful when the light surrounding the ship are on the fritz again as well. When it's time to repair nightlight's arm, Mono sneaks in parts of their metal into the limb during its construction. Unbeknownst to Nightlight, in Mono's culture that means they're already lovers.
Tiny human sized nightlight rides around on Mono's shoulders or clings to the larger bot's arms, legs, or hip whenever they're exploring. Anyone they meet along their journey can see how quick to iteration Mono is without their Starlight hanging off of them.
As some may know, Mono's native language best translate to Morse code. What some may not know - and something Mono was clearly unaware of is that Nightlight can understand them perfectly-
-
"Wow....I knew stars were beautiful, but seeing them up close... it's amazing."
"It is true they are a marvel to see in person...."
Mono trails off, sliding their fingers over the collar around its neck.
"-… ..- - / .. / -.- -. --- .-- / --- -. . / - …. .- - / … …. .. -. . … / -… .-. .. --. …. - . .-."
"Oh! Are you talking about me? You're so sweet, Mono - i think you shine bright too."
".-- …. .- - ..--.. -.-.-- ..... You can understand me? How long have you been able to..."
"Forever? You talk a whole lot in your sleep, y'know. It's cute... I love you too by the way."
The embarrassment may temporarily shut Mono's systems down, but hearing Nightlight reciprocates their feelings is what kills them.
[Translations: But I know a star that shines brighter, What?!]

⋆౨ৎalex with a girl who has anxiety⋆౨ৎ fem reader x alex nilsen
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tossing your keys into the repurposed ashtray, you hung your purse on the wall hook, slipping shoes off as quietly as possible. It all felt robotic, almost like it was someone else performing these actions. That was always how it felt after doctor's appointments, no matter the type. You had just come from a checkup and your heart was pounding Morse code into your chest that you didn't at all want to translate.
Running a tired hand over your face, you wandered down the hallway, happening on Alex on the living room couch, squinting at his laptop. He'd changed out of what he'd worn to school this morning, now in a t-shirt and grey sweatpants. Upon hearing you, he lifted his eyes from the screen. "Hi baby. I called you, are you-?" Noticing the look on your face, he cut himself off.
Biting the side of your cheek, you shifted on your feet, feeling the color flood your cheeks. Even though he'd assured you a million times that your worrying wasn't something to be embarrassed about, you still felt the twinges of it every time.
Setting his laptop on the coffee table, Alex frowned, reaching out for you. "C'mere. Did everything go okay?"
You flew into his arms, burrowing into his chest. He let out a quiet oomph when you landed unexpectedly on him, but adjusted, rubbing your back. "What happened? Is everything good?"
"Yeah," you murmured muffled into him. "I just...going makes me feel icky."
"Gotcha," Alex said, stroking your hair and letting his hand trail down to your back, rubbing it lightly. He was quiet for a moment before saying, "Do you wanna talk about it?"
You shook your head, and he pressed a kiss to your head. "That's okay. Do you wanna go change? I'll wait right here for you."
Nodding, you stood a little reluctantly, trying to keep your breathing steady. In a haze, you found your way to the bedroom and stripped your clothes away, replacing them with one of Alex's shirts, a soft one from so many times being washed.
He smiled when you reappeared, reaching a hand out. Now his feet were on the couch, legs parted lazily. The space between them was an invitation, and you accepted it. Alex settled you comfortably between his knees, back to his chest. He pressed a hand to your heart, and the firmness of it caused the poor thing to slow down. His presence sobered you from your panic, and you took in a deep breath, feeling like smoke had been cleared from your lungs.
Alex leaned his cheek against your head, letting the quiet stretch and curl around you like a cat. He waited a minute to speak, and when he did, it was a mumble. "My shirt's big on you, huh?"
"Mhm," you hummed, closing your eyes. This was heaven; being safe with him. It was cozy with your head resting on his chest, him half-slouched, half lying down with one hand on your chest, the other splayed on your belly.
"Do you wanna order in tonight?" he asked casually, drawing delicate circles into your hip.
"Yeah." You smiled finally. Even without talking about it, he knew what you needed. Food and cuddles were the best medicine to worrisome events for you, and he was always happy to provide them in tenfold.
Alex pulled out his phone, propping it on your stomach and looking up the name of your favorite restaurant with his chin on your head. He held the screen still while you tapped out your order, then added his share, kissing your head while pressing the confirm button. "Thirty minutes," he announced, even though you could see it.
You turned in his arms so that your stomachs were pressed together, snuggling right into him. Alex smiled fondly, smoothing your hair behind your shoulders. "That means thirty minutes of cuddles."
The peaceful feeling clouding your senses was becoming dormant, and you nodded into him. "And more after."
He'd reached over to his laptop without letting go of you, typing a streaming service into the search bar with one hand and pulling up one of your favorite movies. Burying his nose into your hair, he nudged his lips against it. "Lots more after."

the morse code at the beginning of quackity's stream translates to "the planet is destroyed, the wind is sweeping the ashes from the earth" and i know we all have our own theories about quesadilla island, and ive now just realized how this might be a situation like the 100, a group of selected individuals sent to a wasteland to try and figure out if it's livable there...
what if the reason the federation wants them to stay there it's not because they think the island is better than anywhere else, it's because there's nothing else and they need the residents to think the island is perfect because if they try to run away their test subjects will end up dead

I'm literally overflowing with fluffy Jegulus HC. I don't want to give away all my upcoming plot, but then again, how many people care about spoilers...? I had to narrow it down to a manageable number, let's say three.
The first time they talk to each other is when they cross paths on the quidditch pitch. James goes out to practice flying because he wants to be the best he can be at quidditch. And Regulus goes out to fly as an escape. Regulus is a bitch to him. James shrugs it off, but never mentions the meeting to Sirius.
Regulus comes to use the James' invisibility cloak more than James himself. And it always works perfectly for him because... you know why.
Regulus gets his hands on some muggle war history book which includes morse. He insists they write each other notes in morse, and James sometimes writes in Tamil (with the translation in morse) just because he know Regulus likes to look at the beautiful Tamil script. They find a secret place in the castle to leave the notes for each other. And maybe one is left unclaimed... maybe it is found years later... maybe... As a side note (pun intended), these notes are excessively sappy (from James) and excessively snarky (from Regulus).
Oh no! I have to do one more. Regulus eventually makes them charmed notebooks so they can communicate easier. The back and forth notes stay visible in the notebook for twenty-four hours unless you preserve the page with magic. Regulus, always thinking practically doesn't want a trace/evidence, and never preserves the pages. James pretends he doesn't either. But he does. He has countless notebooks filled with their exchanges. Sirius (because James doesn't want Regulus to find out) has to keep making him more charmed notebooks which he finds both annoying and enduring.
YIPPEE
I love love love them meeting or bonding over quidditch bc it's one of the main things they have in common and it's something they can relate to without necessarily involving Sirius for once (nothing against him I love him sm but I like them having a little more to them than their relationship to him yk)
Regulus discovering or using the invisibility cloak is one of my favourite little details in fics! Especially if the others ask James where it is because they need it and he's staring into his hands like 'UHHHHH' because he can't exactly tell them his boyfriend now has his most valued family heirloom
Yes. Regulus reading muggle books is one of my favourite things to begin with but the idea of them using code to leave notes that are later discovered and decoded by some needy muggleborn who accidentally stumbled upon them. 100%
Always room for one more, the charmed notebooks is such a classic and it's such a good one! Sirius rolling his eyes and helping just sums up his entire thought process around them to be fair, he's supportive but it's an inconvenience yk?

fun fact, this keyboards part of ctte might be morse code(begin in 4:52/7:13)
to prove it, i found a video on youtube that try to break the code, here's the most probative comment:
@tonescape1
I may have figured it out, but also see my other comments about this. Wakeman’s Morse code message is this, repeated 8 times (breaking off in the 9th) at its first appearance, and repeated 4 times (breaking off at the end of the 5th) in its second appearance:
.--....-..--..-.----
It has been stated that this is "Abraxas", the name of an ancient Gnostic deity, and also a symbolic character in Hesse's novel "Demian". Because Hesse's later novel "Siddhartha" was the actual inspiration for the lyrics of this song, the connection makes it very plausible. However, this is not “Abraxas”, because the last letter would need to be s (3 dots) not o (3 dashes). Wakeman plays the dots and dashes without leaving any silence between letters or words, which is what makes so many different interpretations possible. I just finally deciphered it. It’s actually a very clever pun, because it can be interpreted as “Abraxao”, which doesn’t mean anything, but will lead people down this incorrect path. I tried dozens of arrangements of spaces between the dots and dashes, which of course produce totally different letters or numbers, even thinking that maybe he was making a joke and that it was a London postal code beginning with E7 or W4. But there was only one interpretation I found that made sense. With spaces between letters, and slashes between words, it would be arranged thus:

It’s actually the Latin phrase “Et tes natuamt”, which Google translates into English as “And you will be born”, and which fits perfectly into the context of the song's lyrics. Comments from those who know Latin better than I would be appreciated. Or maybe someone can get Wakeman to comment himself
secondly, from MY own perspective, the decoding of Abraxas has been widely discussed among netizens, and as mentioned in the previous comment, it is an important symbol throughout the book of Demian, which i have read before, i scanned the first few pages, the text about Abraxas caught my attention (p1-2), and the corresponding lyrics in morse code are as follows (p3 is the first appearance, p4 is the second), considering that jon said that ctte was inspired by reading Siddhartha and Demian, i feel that both explanations are valid.

additionally, Abraxas is also a metaphor for evil and decay in mythology, and in Demian, it represents temptation and seduction. personally, I think it fits quite well in the lyrics of ctte, especially when the keyboards voice hidden behind jons singing, and the morse code typed out, hinting at temptation. alternatively, if the second translation is adopted, "And you will be born," it is more in line with the theme of Siddhartha.
idk if rick had some Latin lessons so that he could write these code, or it's just jon wanted to add something mystery in ctte,
im not so sure about my conjectures, but it's exciting to re-understanding my fav song.
enjoy!
