Oof, I completely forgot the ciphertext. Here it is:

XET, LRAI TSL MIVVU TJ CEEFOVTZFM WIRHL?
Say, have you heard of Hanakapiai beach Decrypt the following aristocrat from an ice cream recipe:

HCIS CYN GIH CO MBN GSNPQ FYMC P UPIGNHPY PYW PWW MBN UIXPS, UPKM.
Pour one cup of the cream into a saucepan and add the sugar, salt. While I'm waiting for my APCS class to start, let's see if my Aristocrat-generating code works correctly:
WBNXJBU LW JUH ITJLSXJH ANGKNXSSLDK TXDKIXKH!
Scratch is the ultimate programming language. I don't think I could have put it better lol. (APCS is my last class of the day)

Decode the following aristocrat:

Here we go again, we're sick like animals, we play pretend, you're just a cannibal, and I'm afraid I won't get out alive

The following song lyric is encrypted as a patristocrat, the ciphertext D corresponds with the plaintext E:
YKUPB LXQYN OIDVX SPIBD DRPKH UXKJJ DRRID LXQTD JXXWR PKUJX NDD
 The first word is AND
 The second word is IF
edit: I just realized this is really hard, added two clues

"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.
