I just finished Sherlock S4/1

What the actual fuck was that

Huh????

It's like... Sherlock and Mary, featuring John as a side character who is stupid every now and then but otherwise unimportant

And the finale?????? It felt so... staged and John didn't even help? Just call her an ambulance for fuck's sake

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

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 .... . .-.. .--. .... . .-.. .--.

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.

Sneeg was talking about Red Faction and how he thinks the people put on the faction were not good picks for that. Pretty much all of them are passive people who don't stream often. He basically says he thinks more consideration should have been taken about the type of people chosen to be on Red because there are people who would have done great for Red's goal of killing other players (himself included) but the ones chosen were just....not that. It takes a certain type of person to be able to take the hate for killing characters and it's understandable some people wouldn't want to deal with that. I also think skill level wasn't considered either. A lot of the people on Red were silly and comedic people who ultimately are not very knowledgeable in minecraft and don't possess the skills to trap people who do know the game. And then there's also the fact that Red Faction joined late and had to play catch up when it comes to grinding and it's almost impossible to kill someone who's higher level than you.

Like.....it just never was going to work. Every aspect of the Red Faction was not thought out and it's become increasingly obvious by how it's the biggest faction and none of them ever want to log on. Only two of them even attended the ball and one of them switched factions halfway through. No one wants to be on Red Faction and none of the current Red Faction members have the skills or resources to reasonably get a kill. I'm really hoping Tubbo and the server admins just accept that whole concept needs to get scrapped or have a complete overhaul. Maybe make it so people can join Red Faction for a reward (and leave if they want) and it doesn't feel like a punishment both in and out of character

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

In conclusion:

Someone needs to teach Sherlock self preservation 101

And literally everyone around them thinks they're gay, heck, if Sherlock Holmes thinks you're flirting with him, you're flirting with him (looking at you John)

gonna watch Sherlock 1, 1 now, wish me luck

The way this fandom is looking I'm gonna need it

But my brain demands I watch it and I'm not one to deny not when it's dragging me by the ankles

just a warning, this is the longest post i've ever made

so in the last secret video there were some typos in the captions of the video.

it turns out when you put all these typos together it makes a link to a discord server. the server is completely empty... except for a download to another minecraft world!!!

this map is MUCH bigger than the last one. this image shows all of it. it has a bit of parkour up to a lot of very colourful blocks, with a portal-looking thing at the end made out of spruce logs. and again, all in the void.

also, did you notice the armour stands in the world? there are pressure plates next to them, and when you press them some messages pop up.

all the messages are:

"you've left! you've actually done it!"

"it's so beautiful out here! look at all the colours!"

"it's all ok! you haven't hurt anyone, we'll all be fine!"

"you aren't a bad person!"

"you didn't kill me, not really! once i'm reborn, my mind will be reset, and my memories forgotten!"

"i'm not dead, i'll just be spawned in another dimension!"

...but did you think that was it? nope, this is the longest post i've ever had to make for a reason.

there's also some secret messages in the form of command blocks hidden in the rainbow blocks.

all the messages are:

"this is temporary"

"they aren't real"

"but you won't forget, ivory"

"i love you, ivory"

once you get to the portal, there's line of barrier blocks that eventually lead to a big line of spruce forest, and you can run through the forest to get more messages.

all the messages are:

"they aren't real, they're projections of who you want them to be"

"she's still coming after you. keep running."

"you can't let yourself into her grasp again"

"you did hurt them, but you can change."

"i don't think you can understand me right now. just keep running, we'll meet later."

and FINALLY (finally) there's a book and quill at the end of the line that simply has the letter l.

i absolutely understand all of this is very hard to follow in the form of a tumblr text post, so i recommend downloading the world yourself and exploring! here's the link to the discord server:

and with that, my work here is done. all of it. hopefully.

reblog this if your blog is a safe space on april fools and won’t have any jumpers, screamers, or anything scary or anxiety inducing
