#this didn't even start as a real alphabet just a bunch of symbols i could use to write my angry gay ramblings in

[stargazinglesbian]

i just showed my friend my alphabet that i created that's how you know i love and trust her

[actual-lea]

i know this defeats the point of it being an unbreakable code but i am DYING to hear an explanation of how the code works. also this is so incredibly on brand for you.

Oh friend thank you so much and also I'm sorry I'm about to ramble excitedly about this thing way more than you probably wanted me to

Unbreakable is probably too strong a word (especially now that I've explicitly created a key in the form of this font, when previously I've never really had an all-encompassing "key" written down - that's not to say that the font is all-encompassing either of course, which I'll get into) BUT the reason I feel like it might be an accurate-ish way of describing it is because there are like. Potentially an infinite number of symbols that can show up? Because okay, at its most basic this is just a simple substitution cipher essentially, where each letter of the alphabet has its own symbol, except tiny Lea didn't think that was secure enough and added 2 additional versions for every letter over time (so there are basically 3 entire ass alphabets, though tbh I've forgotten a good chunk of the 3rd one). So for example, these all represent the same letter, and which one I decide to use is just sort of random at any given point:

And then from there, there's a lot of combining symbols together to make new-ish ones, and then also I sorta threw in a bunch of symbols that stand for commonly used letter combinations (th, st, ight, etc.) or entire words (and, the, could, etc.), kinda maybe like what I'm pretty sure shorthand is? But with all my own made up shit. And then THOSE ALSO get combined together with other letters/combos/words, and so on, and then also if I decide I want a symbol that doesn't exist yet I'd just kinda. Add it on the fly, which I did a lot over the course of writing the huge binder full of "stories", so even the ones that I don't necessarily remember/that aren't used super often I can still figure out with context basically. Because of the way it's structured then, there's lots of different ways to write the same thing, i.e. each of the below is the same one word written in 3 different ways:

AND SO ON. There are ssssort of rules for how the letters combine with each other, i.e. using one alphabet might imply that the letter comes before the one it's placed on/in/around while using one of the other alphabets means it comes after instead, i.e. these are 2 different things:

and so on, but then a lot of it just comes down to like. What I sorta decide to do on a whim at any given point. There are also some custom symbols for punctuation marks and whatnot, I think the only punctuation marks I just use as-is rather than replacing are parentheses.

The only real thing from the code that I wasn't really able to translate over into the font (though I'm sure there's a way, I just didn't think it was worth the effort to find it) is that I would use a single dot as my "space" character between words rather than an actual space, since this was handwritten and my handwriting was super messy, but the font just uses regular ol spaces instead which I don't mind tbh.

THANKS FOR ASKING ABOUT MY WEIRD CODE NONSENSE and also sorry for not telling you outright what the symbols I've included mean, but then you might be able to start figuring out words and pretty soon you could crack the whole thing and then you would have the power to Destroy me and we can't have that.
