if you would all allow me to be delusional for a moment - so i went back to staring Very Hard at the neighborhood map and. um. well. im chucking my marbles out the window! as always take all of this with a Hefty grain of salt!
i thought i saw a weird pixel in Frank's window so i zoomed in. then i took a screenshot, and fucked with the contrast/brightness settings. and uhhhhhh
UHHHHHH
FRANK??? HELLO???? HE'S IN THERE? i'm pretty sure im Not seeing things bc that is definitely a vague gray tube-outline with a yellow spot in the shape of Frank's nose. hidden in the dark. and i might be seeing things but in the pane next to his face it kinda looks like his hand is on the window? but! Frank's in there! what the fuck!
so naturally i slowly scrolled through the neighborhood Zoomed The Fuck In. obvi there's nothing in Home's eyes, and Barnaby's & Sally's single visible windows(?) are closed. I couldn't find any out-of-place pixels in Julie's or Poppy's.
but! Eddie's kinda freaked me out a little! look at this shit!
on the top left pane... are those fingerprints pressing into the glass? and in the lower left, is that a fucking Face peering out? a creepy ass face that almost looks like some sort of mask? there seems to be another Shape in the upper right... another face perhaps?
and then there's the weird window shine in the lower right (along with maybe Another face...). it almost looks like a string of letters. there isn't a single pattern/design like that anywhere else in the neighborhood. what's up with that....
oh and also, just went back to double check the post office's display window
there seems to be another face - all the way to the right in the darkness. judging by the shape of the paler (yellowish?) pixels between what must be eyes, i think that's Eddie. and i think i see ears and a hat... not sure though. this one is really tough to see but it's There
(side note: Eddie is totally fucked, isn't he? between the faces(?) and hands behind his door, Home sitting in his display, and the hyacinths by his building, the emphasis on his memory (or lack-thereof) in a project that is, in a sense, About memory... i'm concerned! and eating it tf up! hell yeah lets get funky!)
now i couldn't see any, like, concrete Faces or anything in Howdy's store. but! you can kinda see inside! observe~
in the big open window, you can kinda make out some sort of container on a counter and what might be shelves or a kind of brick pattern. and then above the 100% sign... hold on are those fuckign Eyes? lets take a look zoomed in & without the image adjustments!
yeah those uh. i think those are eyes. Wally-esque eyes peering out of the darkness. though they also mildly remind me of eyespots on insect wings. butterfly eyespots, perhaps. inch resting indeed...
WAIT I LIED!!! there DOES seem to be another string of letter-like symbols in the neighborhood, not just the post office's window shine. now it could be just a wild coincidence, but at the same time it seems kind of... purposeful. like that's not normal shading/coloring.
check out the blue window border on Howdy's Place, next to the apples. the lighter blue pixels seem Arranged. i think i see a clear N, and either an R or a P... along with some other symbols that i don't recognize as anything. the lower ones look kinda like faces? what could the top one be? is any of it anything or am i looking too hard?
in short: they're watching us watch them and there's way more to the map than initially meets the eye....
(edit: i've added a reblog w/ the images outlined! badly outlined but a clearer View of what i see nonetheless! + some notes on more little things outlining helped me notice)
For the baker boys, what if reader tried out a new recipe one day and just absolutely butchered it. Destroyed. Came out awful. And this isn’t the first time. She’s tried to get this right so many times and simply can’t seem to get the hang of it. I can see sans “teaching” her how but really just flexing, red teasing, and skull eating it and straight up lying to her face that it’s good.
Funnily enough, it's not unusual for Mc to try a recipe and completely fuck it up. She just isn't blessed with the gift of baking.
Sans: He's generally more accepting of the fact that baking just isn't her strong suit. She appreciates his honest approach, he doesn't try to turn her into something she's not. He can always tell how she's feeling about her attempt at cooking ending so terribly, and he responds appropriately- when she's not bothered about it and clearly finds it all funny, he cracks jokes and pretends to die from eating it, making her laugh until she's crying. But when she's genuinely upset that yet another cake came out underbaked, cracked or burnt, flat or misshapen, generally inedible... he's calm. He doesn't quip or push.
... Usually, he asks her to make him a complicated coffee. Pulling it off flawlessly makes her feel a lot better.
Red: He's one of those bakers who can look at her failed creation and instantly know what she did wrong. She has no idea how he tells so quickly. A single glance, and he's got her all figured out.
"you opened the oven while it was cooking, didn't you?"
"... Y-yeah. Just once..."
"doll. that takes all the air outta it."
Unlike Sans' more 'live and let live' approach, Red does his best to teach her some tips and tricks if he can tell she's open to it at that moment. Don't open the oven while it's baking, wait until your ingredients are room temperature, put a lil' drop of lemon in your eggs to make the meringue whip faster... Red's got the magic touch of someone who knows exactly what he's doing. When they cook together, she's much less flustered and confused, and everything winds up great. Plus, baking is a perfect time to flirt.... though if he says 'nice buns' again he might get a spatula to the jaw.
Skull: It's a real effort to get Skull to not eat what she bakes. When she makes something crap, she has to either hide it or literally run for it, because Skull will have some. She doesn't understand why he'll turn down nice store sandwiches to eat whatever hot garbage she pulled out of the oven.
... There's a few reasons. A big one is not wanting to waste food. But honestly, it's mostly because he really does like what she makes. Her cakes, though not exactly a visual treat, are full of her emotions and labour. He loves her so much, and her food is like an extension of her. It doesn't matter how bad it tastes because as soon as he chews it he feels warm knowing it's hers.
... He also wants to show her that no matter how bad she thinks it is, just because it's imperfect doesn't mean it's impalatable.
Jimin included a hidden track on his FACE album that is heart achingly beautiful. He did the guitar for the song himself too. AND Jungkook sang background vocals for the song.
youtube
These lyrics? My HEART
The credits, with special highlights towards JKs vocal credit and Jimins guitar credit.
The fact that this is a jikook song? Yeah, that's special. 😅🥰 AND JK randomly popping on live in the middle of the night before Jimins album drop to cook, eat and randomly share that he learned something on guitar... and it was part of this track????
They are.... so stupidly special. And so endearing to my heart. Watch them either over the top never let this song go but not in an obvious way, just a "constantly singing it together or apart" way.... or NEVER mention it again. Lol this is beautiful. I'm not going to dig into how sweet and romantic these lyrics are. Just what a song to have Jungkookie contribute his voice to, Jimin 🥰🥰🥰🥰 it's a whole ass love letter 😭🥰
PLUS the fact that the track started as an extra at the end of Like Crazy (eng ver.) At 6:13 minutes in? The attention to detail with those numbers 😭
Still waiting for my lawyers to call me saying that my unknown ancient relative has died and left me an estate in the English countryside with a rundown garden, several cats, and a darkly mysterious past
*you hear a whisper, red eyes look at you from within the trees, a voice calls out*
What are you?
-@the-lost-hidden
Oh! Well, hm, that’s a very broad question, I’m a number of things, really. I’m a lady. I’m aaaaa…a druid, that’s one. I’m, erm, a woman in possession of a rather neat stick. Among other things!
Why do you ask, oh mysterious menacing voice in the foliage?
Oh, I just realized I never posted this here! A T8 charm bracelet I made for @the-dye-stained-socialite, made with shrinky dinks :-) A lot of the designs were speculative or artistic takes on in-game descriptions, but it was a lot of fun to make!
When I'm seeing all Still with you being finnaly being available on spotify tweets, I badly want LETTER to be on spotify.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE JIMIN
🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
I wish he'll release it on spotify on his bday this year or atleast while PJM2 release. I saw Jikookers saying they don't want it on spotify because it's dedicated to JK and its personal or whatever. But after that he performed Letter and posted it on YouTube, so we still have a chance 👀
I'll never stop manifesting for LETTER spotify debut because a gem like that not being on streaming platform in a crime 💔
Oh my gosh, while I fully understand and also have the strongest desire to get to stream letter CONSTANTLY. I don't think it's ever gonna happen unfortunately. Its not just a SoundCloud song or a random release for ARMY like Still with You or other mixtape songs we are now finally getting... it's a hidden track on the album.
Hidden tracks aren't new to BTS and they have performed them occasionally, but they are special hidden gifts to BTS and ARMY and I think they will always stay off streaming services. Unless BH decides to really spoil us one day 😭
All the Hidden Tracks BTS has released so far...
RM has a hidden track called Skit: On the Start Line
youtube
Path is another Hidden Track only on physical CDs that they've performed on tour
youtube
Sea is another Hidden Track only on physical albums and the only live performance we've gotten from this has been JK on live lol
youtube
youtube
Then from Proof we got new ones that again, along with all the demos on CD3, we also got 2 new songs that were only available on the physical CD verison
Quotation Mark
youtube
And Young Love
youtube
youtube
And of course. Finally now, Jimin gave us Letter as a hidden track on FACE.
youtube
youtube
These are all tracks are only available on physical album. RM said that they are hidden because you have to be a real fan of BTS to understand it. And so they keep them Hidden as special gifts to ARMY and ARMYs alone.
I would LOVE to be able to stream ALL these honestly. They are all perfection level songs!
