hi edward :] i missed your posts! i wanted to tell you that you inspired me to learn how to code, and it’s been really helpful for me lately. it’s a great distraction from stress / anxiety, which i have a lot of. that’s all i wanted to say :] i hope your time away was as good as it could’ve been and that you keep sharing your thoughts with us <3

>> LANGUAGE IS A POWERFUL TOOL. THE MORE OF US WHO HAVE IT, THE BETTER. YOUR SKILLS WILL COME IN HANDY.

>> "GO TO HELL!", THEY TOLD THE PROGRAMMER. IT WAS "GOTO" THAT OFFENDED HIM THE MOST. ꞉-)

Your last riddle! Maybe your provenance, or place of origin? Is it that ex- Wayne mansion turned orphanage that you burnt down?

>> IT'S ALL OF THOSE. VERY GOOD. YOU'RE ON THE THRESHOLD.

>> THINK SIMPLER. HUMBLER. THINK SYNONYMS.

>> KNOCK, KNOCK? AND NO ONE ANSWERS. >> IS THE ANSWER SO UNFAMILIAR TO YOU? >> SOLVE THE CODE. SOLVE THE RIDDLE.

>> A NEST FOR A BIRD, A CAVE FOR A BAT. MY CRADLE, MY CRUCIBLE. >> I'VE MISSED THIS. LET'S PLAY...

Hey trying to figure out your riddles n stuff. What kind of ciphers did you use, the only one that I found that might work is the "letters numbers" cipher but I'm doubtful lol so glad ur back I missed this

★

>> LETTERS AND NUMBERS. THAT'S A START.

>> NOT A CIPHER. IT'S ENCODING. LOOK INTO BASE64.

>> IF YOU'RE GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO VALENTINE'S... DECIPHER THE INDECIPHERABLE CIPHER.

I’m sorry that my message came off as babying, Edward. I’m from the South, everyone is sweetheart. But I don’t think it’s ‘babying’ to have someone be a little sweet to you. We all need a bit of that sometimes, don’t we?

>> THE STRONG ARE WEANED ON POISON. MY MILK IS BITTER. I DON'T NEED SWEETNESS.

>> I WAS MADE FOR GOTHAM. WHERE THE WEAK WITHER, I THRIVE.

Eddie!!! Hi!!! I missed you! Sending you lots of hugs and pumpkin pie ❤️‼️

>> I'LL TAKE THE PIE. YOU CAN KEEP THE HUGS.

anything extraordinary happen while you were away?

>> MAYBE I’LL TELL. SOLVE MY RIDDLE.

Eddie!! How are you, sweetheart? I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I hope you’re doing well.

>> I DO NOT NEED BABYING. >> YOUR HOPES ARE MISPLACED. I WILL BE.

>> A NEST FOR A BIRD, A CAVE FOR A BAT. MY CRADLE, MY CRUCIBLE. >> I'VE MISSED THIS. LET'S PLAY...

You know you could change your posts text colour to green

>> UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF YOU GUYS USE LIGHT MODE. WHICH THE GREEN CLASHES WITH. YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME.

>> OPEN MY SITE URL. IT'S GREEN THERE.

ok but what does "apple of their eye" mean? /gen

>> TO BE SOMEONE LUCKY. SOMEONE HELD. THE RICHEST FRUIT ON THE IVIED VINE. TO BE THE APPLE OF GOTHAM'S EYE, YOU MUST BE ROTTED THROUGH.

>> THOSE WHO LISTEN, REALLY LISTEN TO MUSIC KNOW EVERY LYRIC. WHAT IS DIFFERENT? WHAT IS THE SAME?

>> READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

>> WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE THE APPLE OF YOUR OWN EYE? ALWAYS BEEN, ALWAYS REALIZED, ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD, ALWAYS CARED, ALWAYS EMBRACED.

>> THE ALBUM'S TOO POP FOR ME. BUT THE THEMES ARE STRONG.

Your cake escapade made me very sad when you accidentallydropoed it! I wish I could teach you to bake chocolate chip cookies.

>> A WASTE. FLOUR IS A WASTE OF MONEY. AND THE PRICE OF EGGS... FOR THE BIRDS. THEY MAY AS WELL BE GOLD.

>> AND IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU DIDN'T.

>> I DON'T NEED A TEACHER.

Hi there!! Just out of curiosity, is there a code in the eye chart on your most recent post? I don't claim to be great at maths or code breaking, but I've been trying to crack it for two hours now, and I'm starting to think it's just an ordinary eye chart lmao. Love your stuff either way, and even if it's not a code, then I'm looking forward to the next one that is!!

>> I'LL GIVE YOU MERCY: NO CODES. NO CIPHERS.

>> NOT INTENTIONALLY, AT LEAST. ENCRYPTION IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.

>> WHEN YOU TURN FIVE, THEY TEST YOUR EYES AND YOUR EARS.

>> THE PAIR THEY GAVE ME WAS WEAK. I HAD TO SQUINT.

>> I WAS YOUNG. I THOUGHT EVERYBODY SQUINTED. CARRIED THIS PAIN BEHIND THE EYES.

>> I'VE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE LOOKING FORWARD. WITH A STRONGER PAIR, FINALLY, IT WAS CLEAR.
