ɹǝƃuıɟɹɐǝds

**ɹǝƃuıɟɹɐǝds is a video by Ricky Macchristen, posted Apr 20, 2023**

its description is '00000'

This video was a response to the choice to reply 'spearfinger' to the 'Happy Christmas' community post. the upside down title is most likely a consequence of the SPEARFINGER card in that post's image being upside down/reversed. Because of this, one could interpret the videos events as playing out in reverse- thus the way the video starts by fading out from an old photo instead of fading the image into one

footage begins at what is thought to be the GRAYBEAT coordinate, an island in Chatuge Lake GA, taken from Chatuge Woods Campground.

'Apple' by Cibo Matto plays, but is very quiet. there is also a buzzing sound.

This gives way to 'We Stayed Up All Night' by Tourist.

* this may allude to a location around the mouth of Noland Creek, north of the Tunnel to Nowhere, named 'where they stayed up all night' in Tslagi.

footage of car driving, which makes up most of the video.

Eventually, the driver arrives in a park at Cashiers, NC. The audio shifts tone, as the Utlunta sculpture comes into view- thus revealing the SPEARFINGER coordinate. The rose grafitti which will feature later in the video flashes on screen as the audio becomes a mashup of 'True Love Waits' and 'Pull/Pulk/Revolving Doors' by Radiohead.

'How Do' by 'Sneaker Pimps' plays - lyrics

The driver drives by Lake Glenville, then through the town of Sylva. A billboard for the 'Disruption' exhibit can be seen on the drive, which will be relevant later.

'HEARTBEATS' by Jose Gonzalez plays - lyrics

The driver arrives at the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, NC. the crosswalk is recorded, its painted blue with what seem to be depictions of spirits, including a two headed chicken like drawing (relevant later).

Footage inside the Museum. There are 'certified pot dealer' signs for some reason (video is posted on 4/20?)

Various art installations from the Disruption art exhibit is shown. Apparently the reason for the exhibit is that the museum removed any funerary items on display. One art piece is a sculpture of Spearfingers hand, with her palm heart on it.

Fade out to shot of a Chandler + Price “new style” printing press.

Fade to shot of road outside road to nowhere tunnel, looking away from the tunnel.

This next section consists of reversed footage of someone running out of the tunnel, with 'Pull/Pulk/Revolving Doors' by Radiohead playing. there are a few 1-2 frame cuts to the Utlunta sculpture in Cashiers. We again see the rose graffiti (more detailed section on this lower down). Near the end of the video Pull/Pulk gives way to a reversed song, 'Theme' by Cibo Matto, which has BAMBINO in its chorus . The camera begins to rotate around in slow motion, but before we can see behind the filmer, the video ends.

There seem to be 52 total cuts/transitions in the video, though this may need double checking

## `The Rose Puzzle`

Familiarize yourself with the 'medicinedown' hidden text before reading this next section

Transcription of rose sequences

There are 11 total roses painted along the length of the tunnel. Some are white and some are red, with 7 white and 4 red, in a sequence of White Red White White White Red Red White Red White White. the second rose in the sequnce has 'BEEBEE' written over it. the last rose has a painting of Alice from Alice in Wonderland using a red spraycan (reference to 'painting the roses red' scene in aforementioned movie, likely making this rose correspond to WHITEALICE.

There are 2 main sets of rose sequences. the 'main' one is later in the video, intercut with footage of the tunnel to nowhere

The other segment appears during footage of the Utlunta sculpture in Cashiers, NC. It shows each graffiti once, in the order they are painted in real life.

Void on discord found that if you sort the 4 and 7 terms alphabetically, the red terms line up perfectly with the position of the red roses, and the same for the white roses and blue terms. This new arrangement of the 4 and 7 keywords is BAMBINO BEEBEE EVE IRIS JENNY JOANA OFELIA ROSA TALULA TOCCOA WHITEALICE. In the video, a single frame of a model of spearfingers hand is shown between the JOANA and OFELIA roses. if you connect-the-dots between the spots on a map in this order, make a detour for SPEARFINGER between JOANA and OFELIA. and close the shape, you get an image. It appears to be of a large bird holding something in its beak - possible a depiction of the thunderbird or great buzzard. (ignore this, WHITEALICE was in the wrong place)

ignoring the 'null sequences' (11 grafitti in order) and grouping the remaining zeros and ones in groups of five, then reading them as binary and then performing number to letter conversion gives 'nqwzwcbuzxghwlipaqfyibeozvcnhdgeq'. then, taking 'nowitaughttheweepinwillowhowtocry' (from the JAM video description) as a Vigenere key reveals the code: 'a card chosen a spell is cast a door opens'

since the null sequence repeats 3 times and has 11 grafitti, there is a total of 33 'null' roses in the video. the result from the decryption is also 33 characters long
