OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-
there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀
Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.
What’s the focus?
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen
Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises
STUFF I'VE GOTTEN BY PUTTING IN RANDOM CODES I KNOW FROM THE BOOK!!!!
(there is also blanchin, bill and axolotl that work)
EDIT!!!!! INSERTING "EVEN HIS LIES ARE LIES" GIVES YOU THIS:
EXTRA EXTRA NOTICE: inserting "well well well being" gives you this:
ANOTHER EDIT!!!! INSERTING "suck it merlin" gives you the following image, i'm about to decode what the message says.
edit: it says "daymare vs nightmare"
EDIT: typing in "just fit in" gives you a weird video with static at the end. I think it's bills voice? he sounds sad.
EDIT: typing in "tantrum" gives you something EXTREMELY interesting!
edit: typing "paper is book skin" gave me skin. i am not joking. it literally just gave me skin in clip studio paint... thanks bill?
edit: typing in "baby bill" gives you this (papa? wait does this mean that it's the men who give birth in bill's dimension or wh- WHAT DOES THIS IMPLY....)
Edit: hi guys. I know about a lot of the other codes. Though there are a few people who have told me ones I don't know in my replies so thanks for that!! (PS: I also wonder what typing in the code on the candle does once the flame has turned blue. Does anything change at all? Could someone check that?)
Also to add on, I've discovered that the word "volume" doesn't give you the big glaring X screen, but it also doesnt seem to do anything either? Either I'm experiencing some sort of glitch or this means something more. Could someone look into this? I'd really appreciate it!
ADDITIONAL EDIT: FORDTRAMARINE WORKS!!!
guys who tf defeated silas birchtree
OKAY SO some people on reddit found that typing in "You can't kill an idea" gives you this:
i swear on god i've inspected this thing countless times.
i've noticed that some of the letters on the bottom have strange inner-outlines. i've tried to find out what it means but i've come at a COMPLETE ROADBLOCK. istg silas birchtree when i FIND YOU
EDIT: also, the name "IOWA 1951" sounds really suspicious. i think it's a location name?
??? searching up stuff on google and i found this. Does this mean anything??? DOES ANYTHING MEAN ANYTHING??? maybe 1951 isn't part of some address but is actually a year where a competition took place?
SHE??? AM I STUPID OR AM I COOKING (honestly really unsure about bringing an actual person into this)
i'm really sceptical on this "miss iowa" beauty pageant stuff actually having something to do with anything in this whole mess, but the way it's phrased in the pamphlet...
"Miss Iowa 1951 (Isn't she gorgeous?)"
the "isn't she gorgeous" makes me feel like it DOES have some sort of correlation with the BEAUTY pageant
i'm about to pull my hair out of my skull
EDIT: i feel like every step i take to crack this stupid code brings me closer to getting SOMETHING but at the same time so much farther. (also i'm about to start rambling so stay with me here. Either i'm gonna sound like a genius {of some degree} or like a blubbering idiot with a cone for a head, also the good-ol' language disability is NOT gonna help with my following explanations here so hang with me now.)
Something i've noticed: Literally everything Silas says about his life makes absolutely zero sense and doesn't add up.
He got facial cancer and got hit by a train, making him unable to perform jitterbugs, at three years old? Was he performing jitterbugs before then?
He says he's from Kansas whilst from what i've researched, the person who "Miss Iowa 1951" is, aka his supposed "wife", has no evidence of ever being in Kansas.
And why does he need 400$ donations? Isn't this dude already a millionaire?
The more i piece together the more i think: "Wait. Since it's clear that ""Honest"" Silas Birchtree, isn't truly honest, it's pretty clear that he IS a corpse currently in possession of Bill Cipher. Could his supposed "Defeat", be a referring to what killed him before possession, or to what defeated his possessed corpse?"
And since his name is "honest" Silas Birchtree, perhaps something in the code "lies" could help? Since lies is the opposite of truth?
kinda getting a few cracks form in my sense of reality but PERHAPS this could lead us somewhere? The fact Bill mentions that "Humans care about anything that makes them feel good" in the "lies" thingy. Perhaps this could have some sort of correlation with Silas's story, because his "story" does end up sounding like the "ideal" life. Being fully healed after serious injuries, winning a million dollars, and getting married to a beauty pageant contestant.
GAAHH nothing i'm saying makes sense! Nothing i'm thinking makes sense! NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAKES SENSE! MAYBE THAT'S WHAT DEFEATED SILAS??? SENSE?? COMPREHENSIBILITY??? I'M LOSING MY MIND
Edit: from this point forward, whenever I hear the word "birch" muttured near me I will get immediate flashbacks to me ferociously gnawing at my keyboard shaking foaming at the mouth
Edit: yknow come to think of it, is Silas birchtree even this guy's name??? Silas means woods/forest... And birchtree sounds like pinetree, but with birch trees. And birch trees have always had a strong link with Bill cipher. Did Bill just possess some random corpse and create a fake name on the spot using terms that were familiar to him???? And then just slapped on a bunch of backstory for this dude in order to advertise his cult or whatever hence why all information we have on this individual makes NO SENSE
Edit: OK so I'm not here to make an update on birchwood sorray but I just wanted to say that a NEW CODE HAS BEEN FOUND!!! (Unsure who found it, if someone tells me their name I'll make sure to credit them)
code: DIONARAP ! The backwards of paranoid!!!
Check it for yourself!!!
EDIT: OKAY SO I'VE NOTICED THAT ON THE DIONARAP CODE THINGY, there are these little 2-letter thingies hidden about. Perhaps if we can find them all it'll lead to another code or secret message?
Currently i've found: OC, OD and ST
(ps: i love the tumblr sexyman diss. GET HIS ASS BILL!!! EXPLODE THAT TWINK!!!!)
(also ps: i really appreciate the help but you guys don't need to tell me about older codes, i know like basically all of them. Heads up on new ones are appreciated though!!!)
ADDITIONAL EDIT:!!! (also realised there's also EHT hidden in the image {it's upside-down}, so i guess it's not always 3 letters? EHT could also just be "THE" backwards)
oh and RIGHT!! THIS GUY!!! If you followed burnside's twitter, you'd notice that the countdown images he used to anticipate the release of the book of bill all had this symbol in it, perhaps we can find out what it means, because i think it leads to something bigger
EDIT: nvm i forgot that it's just the artist's signature nevamind
EDIT: found another! TCE!
here's what we've got currently. (letters in blue are the same as above red, just backwards) Maybe the message is all the letters flipped backwards and put together? The code to get this thing is PARANOID backwards after all!
EDIT: FOUND "NN"! guess you don't really need to flip that one
EDIT!!! JUST FOUND OUT WHAT IT MEANS!!!
"CONNECT THE DOTS"
unfortunately you can't use it as a code on the computer, but does it mean something else?
NEVERMIND!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FLIP IT BACKWARDS AGAIN
NEW CODE!!!!: STOD EHT TCENNOC!!!
FEELING SO SMART RN (edit: apparently some people have found it before me. whoops!)
MOTHERFUCKER SILAS BIRCHTREE I AM APPROACHING YOUR LOCATION FAST
WHEN I GET YOUR FUCKING ASS
THE ANSWER TO WHO DEFEATED SILAS BIRCHTREE IS EMMALINE BUTTERNUBBINS FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
it just gave me a 98mb file what the fuck
THE FILE CONTAINS FULL IMAGES FROM THE BOOK!!!
also code!! yippee
it means: kook.
oh we already knew that one
ooh this one has bill burning an ace of spades card. wonder if that means anything
EDIT: THIS ISN'T IN THE BOOK. WHAT DOES "NO Y" MEAN?
edit: i forgot to read the last page of the newspaper article whoops
there's a code
translates to: you cant kill an idea
we already know what the code for this gives us
blank wall once again
WAIT IF WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO FIND THE CODE TO THE PAMPHLET THING UNTIL AFTER YOU FIND OUT WHO DEFEATED SILAS THEN DOESN'T THAT MEAN THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE ON IT???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME (ps: no i do not think it's "say baaaa", say baaa isn't on the pamphlet the site gives you, say baaa is from the book.)
edit: forgot to mention this. "dispense my treat" gives you a butt-ton of images containing full pngs from pages of the book. the only full image that had never been in the book is titled "REMEMBER THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE". Which is a direct reference to the end of tbob, where bill is wiping your memory and asks if you remember the "bermuda triangle"
i'm assuming that somehow, there's a code that leads to us finding the full version of the lost page that could contain some text. This i am unsure of, and it appears that i've reached my 30-image only limit on this post. So perhaps i'm going to end this little thing soon or start a new one. I might make a few more edits that contain some text though. Thanks for sticking with me and my ramblings for so long! hahahah
Trying to learn Blender 😭 made a thing (the bg music is forever by the little dippers)
hyena positivity that focuses on spotted hyenas only is so fake. if you don’t love brown and striped hyenas then get out. if you don’t love aardwolves I can’t even look at you oh my god
someone in the tags of my last post pointed out that ford wouldnt know what the no fly list is because he wouldnt know about 9/11 so i immediately rushed to draw this as fast as i could
Alex Hirsch talking about why he couldn't be at The Art Department Eindhoven irl, he slipped a disc and boy did he come prepared to talk about it jdjdhshs
also an image that now exists: bill cipher breaking alex hirsch's back
What if human bill cipher is just Alex Hirsch in a fancy suit
I’m not the first person to make this joke but whatever
it helps that he's stupid easy to draw
