question ummmm after watching the video I was wondering has anybody tried to use Julie as a simple J Eddie is E and so on? I don't know but I am just curious follow the instructions given and just spell out a word I have no idea if it it works or not
One thing I will say is that I think isolation is what makes the neighbors vulnerable to whatever force is targeting them. The attack on Eddie started when he was left alone in his house during homewarming. The force attacking the neighbors is only able to harm them when they are excluded from the shenanigans of the neighborhood and are forgotten about. Somehow being prevalent in the neighborhood wards it off.
I know it's a Cask of Amontillado reference, but I think since it's a kids' show, it might also be a small reference to 'The Sad Story of Henry' from Thomas & Friends
Although i agree that the News page could be hinting at the key, I also want to note that Clown has previously teased on his Tumblr that the next update would be Julie-centric (promotional art of a flower before it blooms, contextually being in the beginning of spring since it was posted after the Homewarming update). So it could very well just be that these mini Halloween mini-updates are a seasonal commemoration. After all, we didnt really get any puzzles with last year's Halloween update, so it's not like EVERY update will have a solvable puzzle. The News page very well could just be confirming the next update to be Julie-centric.
Imagine not wanting to get strongarmed into the local theatre group so they brick up your windows so you can't watch their stuff... Man these puppets are mean 🤣
@@tanuki01It was wild to see the vod on twitch and a lot of people were saying it on the chat while it was happening English class really did a number on a lot of us 😅.
do you have a source for this? im a huge fan of jim henson and have never heard of a wally character being pitched for the muppet show. however, he did have a different muppet (nigel) hosting the show rather than kermit in the pilot episode. kermit was jim's first muppet ever so he has always been around.
@ I watched a video here on TH-cam about Jim Henson and has gradual creation of the muppets. Wally was referenced only briefly. I can’t remember the name of the video other than his first project was about aliens on a planet and it was aimed towards adults. I believe it said that the show was shown on SNL
@@audreyschiffli6064 thanks for the response! i will look for the video and see if i can find it. i do know that jim henson had a sketch on snl that inspired the muppet show called the land of gorch!
just went to an Edgar Allan Poe play yesterday, so the amount of influence from him in this update is *very* timely for me, especially because two of the stories they did in the play involved the protagonist hiding their victim by sealing them inside a house
So far no one else online has cracked anything either, which is crazy since someone usually finds something right away. Even I tried different versions of the spiral and even attempted using the neighborhood page again just in case but nothing happened Looks like this is another sit and wait case
"A long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs." The first time I heard that expression was from Rogue from the X-Men animated series. Cool to hear it again from Eddie lol
I love these episodes, it scratches my night mind itch so bad and since I can't watch streams it's amazing, so many in Halloween is gonna make me spoiled.
The puppets have addressed the narrator in these types of stories before. Whether they are just breaking the fourth wall or are a bit more aware is hard to tell.
I appreciate your updates on active running Unfiction, especially ones like Welcome Home that is so cool but I have a hard time navigating it. (I'm bad at these sorts of thing DESPITE loving them LOL)
My GOSH I just had a brainstorm and I hope I can remember so I can comment about this next tine WH updates. So the name of the series: Welcome Home. Like a nice little welcome mat placed at the door to make you feel welcome. BUT!! What if isn’t a statement, but an order? What if the show’s purpose is being told directly by the title: you should be welcoming home in. Home wants in, and we are going to convince you to welcome it!!
I do have one theory but it might be a bit out there: has anyone else noticed that Sally seems to be almost like a trigger to event in the last few updates? In that she told the story in the last Halloween update (about something coming out at night), she was the one that encountered Eddie in the Home warming update before he had his disassociating episode, and in this update, she is pretty much the main focus of the story (in that she is putting on this play and trying to help Poppy). While I am not 100% sure about this, we know Sally wants to be an actor/star so maybe she had some kind of resentment towards Wally getting all the love and attention from people when the show first aired, when he is content with just just painting, drawing and just living his life, so maybe she might actually be behind everything hoping people might pay more attention to her this time around, because who benefits more from having a bunch of eyes on them; the person who seemed content with his life regardless of what happened airing wise, or the person wanting to be an actor/actress?
for some reason I'm getting star bound robot vibe's, like they don't actually know they are puppets and everything they see is through some sort of puppet vision "you" is just the camera man or camera/recorder/mic and there entire world is in a Wearhouse they don't know anything about the world other then what they get from "letter" and stuff and if a character isn't doing well marketing wise then then they disappear into the back on a trip to never come back
Time to get spooky before the peak. And what better spooks to revel in than the ones in this gorgeous project? With Eddie Dear's dark enlightenment during Homewarming, it'll be especially interesting to see how things pan out... Right at the start, I'm getting the impression that Sally's latest play is going to end up being the King in Yellow. *Sally:* "Come now, Eddie; we've all unmasked, and now it's your turn!" *Eddie:* "Well, gee, uh, I dunno how to tell y'all, but... this?" _Eddie Dear gestures to his newfound indescribable visage._ "This ain't no mask!" *Poppy:* "No mask... NO MASK!" *Sally:* "...of course. I should have known. You just couldn't help peeking at my exotic imports, could you, Mister Dear?" ...I guess I wasn't TOO far off with the gothic literature. That damnable manuscript has brain-poisoned me already, and I've barely finished "The Mask" (I picked up that cursed tome for some nighttime reading). ...speaking of things that rhyme with mask, I reckon Poppy's going to need a big glass of a certain Andalucían sherry by the end of this record. And unlike a certain nobleman, I reckon Poppy would be able to distinguish it from more conventional sherries. Hell, she's probably used it to amp up the flavour of a hearty beef stew, while taking modest nips of the bottle when no-one's watching. ...it seems that Poppy achieved her own "enlightenment" for a moment. And in the process, was visited by something from outside... ...or worse, something from INSIDE...
and black cat, and telltale heart, among others. Edgar really liked having his characters seal their victims within architecture. really makes you think...
17:00 is a reference to the Cask of Amontillado, where the victim is bricked up in the wall. the play was about another edgar allan poe story the tell tale heart lots of poe references here
No this is crazy cause I had a dream that the website had updated a few days ago, and didn’t think anything of it cause i have dreams all the time. But literally a few minutes ago a storybook reading of Poppy’s thing showed up in my recommended and then here I am and you made this video three days ago. Wally in brain real??
So, if I give the horrific nightmare demon cat a slow blink, do they, "blink with one set of eyes", "blink with both sets of eyes" or "devour my soul while my eyes are closed" ?
OH MAN I GOT AN AUDIO ERROR WITH THE VIDEO JUST BEFORE THE ENDING TWIST ON THE STORYBOOK AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN OVERLAY FROM THE CREW SAYING THE REST OF THE AUDIO HAD BEEN LOST! I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS ENDING TWIST BECAUSE OF A VIDEO LOADING ERROR!
Is it possible that it's not just the order that is mirrored (going from right to left) but the inputs themselves. Since the idea you gave is that this is the back cover, the left and right is flipped, the direction the "eyes" are pointing are also mirrored. So, we start with Julie. The next is pointing bottom left, which we flip to point bottom right, so rather than Eddie it's Barnaby. Then Howdy, Eddie, Eddie. And so on. That's my initial thought.
Something of note, the characters who get shoved off the show are the ones who might have something a bit… queer going on. It has been implied that Sally and Poppy have a thing going on and it is canon that Frank and Eddie are a couple.
to whoever asked if telltale heart is too morbid for welcome home's age range, i read that at like 10. so that'd be just fine for kids who're aging out of welcome home but still enjoy it.
Guuuh I hate when these videos end because I want to know mooore 😭 But I know well crafted projects like these take time. Quality over quantity, I must stay patient 🙏
We wanted to highlight something insightful Nightmind said @ 15:30: ‘We still don’t know the nature of this reality-whether it’s art recording a world or the art is the world.’ This perspective offers a fantastic guideline towards approaching any artist or series one is engaging with: suspending one’s own reality and setting aside preconceived notions of what art even / is /. Allowing us to engage with what the art or series itself is trying to ascribe on its own terms and merits. seriously slap that single phrase at the start of a media literacy 101 class-it captures the essence of approaching art with a willingness to let it reshape us with its potentiality ( this last bit still doesnt capture what we mean but its close enough )
58:10 ok, my brain’s theory this far in is this: there’s a cute banner of the 9 characters above the book. You get the names of the characters by reading the directions of the eyes with the sticker page, but THEN imo you plug that in to numbers using their place in the chain above the book. Wally = 1, Barnabus = 2 etcetera. Then you plug those numbers either into a url or somewhere else That’s my thinking so far
I'm sure someone has tried it, but my first assumption was that each line on the cover is a separate code for entry. That or it runs vertically up to down, right to left, like traditionally written Japanese.
That actually stood out to me too as a general fiber artist and crocheter of 13 years, too! I don’t really mind, though, it’s understandable. I’ll have to take a closer look at the illustration later to see what Poppy’s holding and if it’s a hook or needles.
Should the “musical monster” your basing that code on maybe be Frank and not Julie? Since the “Looky Loo” book looks kinda of like his shirt and he’s dressed as a singing vampire on that news page?
Okay this is the first time checking out a nightmind stream and I honestly didn't expect a buff furry vtuber being the first thing I see. Let me be clear. I am very much not complaining.
16:20 My only stipulations with the book being made after the recording are this; that they wouldn't have known where to use the doorbell to turn the page and I feel as though it was intended to be a read along for new readers and the ad libbing would defeat the purpose. Oorrrrr maybe it's not this deep at all lol
I’m happy that I’m not the only one who had issues with the video 😭😩 I was able to get it to play after messing around a little bit but it was a struggle
When it comes to the code, wouldn’t it make more sense that the code letters are based on who Home is looking at? Which you do for all 8 except for the one in the middle. Home isn’t looking at Home ‘H’ the same as Howdy, wouldn’t it make more consistent sense if it was ‘Y’ You - because we’re a neighbour too and it’s looking at us?
Okay, look. this is the first time i watched this channel, and i have watched night mind for years. I knew Nick had VTuber model, i just didn't know it looked like this.
Okay okay I ran the numbers through a golden bug decoder and Assuming that Nick decoded the numbers right (bc some of these are really tricky to tell which direction they're looking), the code is as follows: GGIFEHBFMGEHKKMMFAAG Either way, it seems that there's a second level of encryption/scrambling that's going on
Do the directions of the eyes correspond to the colored buttons on the play phone? I don't think the solution would be that simple, but i don't know what else it could be.
ALSO forgot to mention; me n a friend think that in the awayfrompryingeyes version of the storybook, we're hearing poppy's puppeteer freak out and not poppy herself
I don't know if anybody else thought about this but the new Halloween story reminded me of last years story. Don't know if this helps or if somebody already mentioned it lol. Thanks for the video!!!
You most likely can't click on the stickers on the page becuase they're not image elements (ie: would be able to right click to open image in new tab), but div elements with background images.
As someone who grew up with read-along books and casettes, it's super weird how many discrepancies there are between the book and the actual recording.
Giving that they gave the guest book back, I wonder if the book cover puzzle (if it is one) is tied to that? Each image's main focus seamed to be sets of three by three panels instead of trying to make four by three panels fit .
18:27 okay just gonna state this outright this just reminds me of that one episode of Thomas the Tank Engine, where the green one legit gets sealed up in a tunnel for not coming out.
they eye's remind me of the liar's in ib, where everyone but one person is lying and after you find and follow the advice of the one and go back to the room all of the liar's killed the one who helped you

watch everything come down to "the value of community" (something one could even call the fanbase itself).XD
Maybe that’s why Home got got first. It literally can’t run away.
Poppy didn’t like the tell tale heart, so they decided to give cask of amontillado a try
I know it's a Cask of Amontillado reference, but I think since it's a kids' show, it might also be a small reference to 'The Sad Story of Henry' from Thomas & Friends
That’s the first thing I thought of when they started bricking up Poppy’s house. I didn’t know about the Amontillado story until looking it up
@dragonslayersworkshop8598 The illustrations definitely remind me of some of the storybook versions of Sad Story
That came right into mind
As a Thomas fan; that struck my mind when I first saw it
A friend described the new fit as 'biker casual' and I concur. Love the outfits, Nick.
Either way that Eldrich gatto has some amazing fits
"julie, stop that" from frank is making me laugh
Although i agree that the News page could be hinting at the key, I also want to note that Clown has previously teased on his Tumblr that the next update would be Julie-centric (promotional art of a flower before it blooms, contextually being in the beginning of spring since it was posted after the Homewarming update).

Hmm, okay. If that's what we're looking at, then we may really have the beginning of a puzzle and not able to progress yet. Thanks for the info!
You know it only just dawned on me that its a Home Page
I can't believe I never thought of that
I can't believe I missed the obvious 😅
Imagine not wanting to get strongarmed into the local theatre group so they brick up your windows so you can't watch their stuff...

Looks like this is another sit and wait case
Or what's required is so obscure no one's figured it out yet?
I mean, idk if the one "as above so below" page is still around, but they specifically mentioned waving below.
"A long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs." The first time I heard that expression was from Rogue from the X-Men animated series. Cool to hear it again from Eddie lol
Oh man, I am here for Elmo’s Cask of Amontillado

Thank you so much! Glad to provide!
8:12 oh hey, Wally is sounding more chipper than usual here.
18:53 okay this feels like a Cryptkeeper story and I kind of dig it
The cryptkeeper is such a ham
The puppets have addressed the narrator in these types of stories before. Whether they are just breaking the fourth wall or are a bit more aware is hard to tell.
I appreciate your updates on active running Unfiction, especially ones like Welcome Home that is so cool but I have a hard time navigating it. (I'm bad at these sorts of thing DESPITE loving them LOL)
My GOSH I just had a brainstorm and I hope I can remember so I can comment about this next tine WH updates.
So the name of the series: Welcome Home. Like a nice little welcome mat placed at the door to make you feel welcome. BUT!! What if isn’t a statement, but an order? What if the show’s purpose is being told directly by the title: you should be welcoming home in. Home wants in, and we are going to convince you to welcome it!!
Poppy got the Cask of Amontillado treatment
I find it funny just how hard nick slams his keyboard when typing stuff in, it feels like hes just about to yell yurika! After he does it.
Hearing him shout “Eureka” is something I’d pay to see
TFW I'm jealous of a keyboard
I do have one theory but it might be a bit out there: has anyone else noticed that Sally seems to be almost like a trigger to event in the last few updates? In that she told the story in the last Halloween update (about something coming out at night), she was the one that encountered Eddie in the Home warming update before he had his disassociating episode, and in this update, she is pretty much the main focus of the story (in that she is putting on this play and trying to help Poppy).

for some reason I'm getting star bound robot vibe's, like they don't actually know they are puppets and everything they see is through some sort of puppet vision "you" is just the camera man or camera/recorder/mic and there entire world is in a Wearhouse they don't know anything about the world other then what they get from "letter" and stuff and if a character isn't doing well marketing wise then then they disappear into the back on a trip to never come back
Sally’s a star… and when do stars come out?
Night
Catalyst. Sally is often a catalyst due to her dramatic nature.
I can't help but chuckle at Wally using both hands to hold up a single brick. A reminder how tiny he is.
Time to get spooky before the peak. And what better spooks to revel in than the ones in this gorgeous project? With Eddie Dear's dark enlightenment during Homewarming, it'll be especially interesting to see how things pan out...
Right at the start, I'm getting the impression that Sally's latest play is going to end up being the King in Yellow.
*Sally:* "Come now, Eddie; we've all unmasked, and now it's your turn!"
*Eddie:* "Well, gee, uh, I dunno how to tell y'all, but... this?" _Eddie Dear gestures to his newfound indescribable visage._ "This ain't no mask!"
*Poppy:* "No mask... NO MASK!"
*Sally:* "...of course. I should have known. You just couldn't help peeking at my exotic imports, could you, Mister Dear?"
...I guess I wasn't TOO far off with the gothic literature. That damnable manuscript has brain-poisoned me already, and I've barely finished "The Mask" (I picked up that cursed tome for some nighttime reading). ...speaking of things that rhyme with mask, I reckon Poppy's going to need a big glass of a certain Andalucían sherry by the end of this record.

34:47 the chatter that said “EUREKA!” 😭😭😭☝️
THEY CASK OF AMONTILLADO'D HER????
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BARNABY!

17:00 is a reference to the Cask of Amontillado, where the victim is bricked up in the wall. the play was about another edgar allan poe story the tell tale heart lots of poe references here
Was just watching your video on the Tulpa Effect Slenderman series! What a welcome surprise.
Slenderman Classic nostalgia and then Welcome Home. Lucky day to be you

But literally a few minutes ago a storybook reading of Poppy’s thing showed up in my recommended and then here I am and you made this video three days ago. Wally in brain real??

We are sooooo back with Welcome Home. I'm a month late, but still we are so back !!
The eyes in the Looky-Loo logo are staring at KYL in between them. Maybe those letters are significant?
16:38 Aw hell nah they Edgar Allan PO'ed that chicken!
So, if I give the horrific nightmare demon cat a slow blink, do they, "blink with one set of eyes", "blink with both sets of eyes" or "devour my soul while my eyes are closed" ?
Making eye contact at all is your first mistake
OH MAN I GOT AN AUDIO ERROR WITH THE VIDEO JUST BEFORE THE ENDING TWIST ON THE STORYBOOK AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN OVERLAY FROM THE CREW SAYING THE REST OF THE AUDIO HAD BEEN LOST! I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS ENDING TWIST BECAUSE OF A VIDEO LOADING ERROR!

I'm in Australia so I gotta say I love that I can catch up on these streams this way!
Love these VOD streams so much. Really fun!! 💜💚💚💜
Thanks, glad you're enjoying them!
Something of note, the characters who get shoved off the show are the ones who might have something a bit… queer going on. It has been implied that Sally and Poppy have a thing going on and it is canon that Frank and Eddie are a couple.

Hello neighbor! Thank you for checking us out! C.areful on what you read…..Neighbor
The eyes on Home in the neighborhood map section are moving, and it looks like they linger on certain directions...
Listen, I’m not a furry, but…
Smash.
Same TBH
I'm sure someone has tried it, but my first assumption was that each line on the cover is a separate code for entry. That or it runs vertically up to down, right to left, like traditionally written Japanese.
Crochet is done with hooks, not needles
they're still called crochet needles
Erm no, it's a crochet hook and then a knitting needle.
That actually stood out to me too as a general fiber artist and crocheter of 13 years, too! I don’t really mind, though, it’s understandable. I’ll have to take a closer look at the illustration later to see what Poppy’s holding and if it’s a hook or needles.
21:41 >crochet needles
alright, where's the fiber arts rioters?
I've been soooooo niceys not nitpicking this but man..

TITLE IS BRICK BY BRICK. BEGIN FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP ... FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT...
I think you might be right
Your cat character looks like it could easily fit right into Biker Mice From Mars.
"It's a whole community-based thing." Pun unintended, I'm sure 😂
Okay this is the first time checking out a nightmind stream and I honestly didn't expect a buff furry vtuber being the first thing I see. Let me be clear. I am very much not complaining.
Will we get a regular nightmind video? I really love those videos since I can easily follow along while I'm working
16:20 My only stipulations with the book being made after the recording are this; that they wouldn't have known where to use the doorbell to turn the page and I feel as though it was intended to be a read along for new readers and the ad libbing would defeat the purpose. Oorrrrr maybe it's not this deep at all lol
I’m happy that I’m not the only one who had issues with the video 😭😩 I was able to get it to play after messing around a little bit but it was a struggle
season 1 film for Project Earth has some very fun stuff in it!
When it comes to the code, wouldn’t it make more sense that the code letters are based on who Home is looking at? Which you do for all 8 except for the one in the middle. Home isn’t looking at Home ‘H’ the same as Howdy, wouldn’t it make more consistent sense if it was ‘Y’ You - because we’re a neighbour too and it’s looking at us?
Jesus, Nick got swol while I was away XD
perfect to build lego to :3
my fear has suddenly Spiked. she better please be alright
Okay, look. this is the first time i watched this channel, and i have watched night mind for years. I knew Nick had VTuber model, i just didn't know it looked like this.
Gold bug cipher! GOLD BUG CIPHER! We got two EAP reffs and with how WH is with bugs it might be the ticket with lucky number 3!
Okay okay I ran the numbers through a golden bug decoder and
Assuming that Nick decoded the numbers right (bc some of these are really tricky to tell which direction they're looking), the code is as follows:
GGIFEHBFMGEHKKMMFAAG
Either way, it seems that there's a second level of encryption/scrambling that's going on
@@Directionless.Sponge Godspeed! You may not know where you're going, Sponge, but you sure as hell know what you're doing!
Do the directions of the eyes correspond to the colored buttons on the play phone?
I don't think the solution would be that simple, but i don't know what else it could be.
missed the stream (and some how this upload???) but this update dropped the day before my birthday which means its officially my birthday update
ALSO forgot to mention; me n a friend think that in the awayfrompryingeyes version of the storybook, we're hearing poppy's puppeteer freak out and not poppy herself
I don't know if anybody else thought about this but the new Halloween story reminded me of last years story. Don't know if this helps or if somebody already mentioned it lol. Thanks for the video!!!
You most likely can't click on the stickers on the page becuase they're not image elements (ie: would be able to right click to open image in new tab), but div elements with background images.
I’m convinced that Nick could figure out when Reputation TV is coming out. 😂
This is my superbowl 😤
17:13 reminds me of The Sad Story of Henry from thomas the tank engine.
As someone who grew up with read-along books and casettes, it's super weird how many discrepancies there are between the book and the actual recording.
16:57 what are ya doing to my girl?! Poor Poppy!
Giving that they gave the guest book back, I wonder if the book cover puzzle (if it is one) is tied to that? Each image's main focus seamed to be sets of three by three panels instead of trying to make four by three panels fit .
have you tried taking a picture of the "finger prints" turning it into a transparency, and put that upon the stickers?
EARLY AS HELL LETS GO HOME EVERYONE!!!
22:53 yo, what's with Homer Simpson on the left there?
18:27 okay just gonna state this outright this just reminds me of that one episode of Thomas the Tank Engine, where the green one legit gets sealed up in a tunnel for not coming out.
they eye's remind me of the liar's in ib, where everyone but one person is lying and after you find and follow the advice of the one and go back to the room all of the liar's killed the one who helped you
Welcome Home brings me joy ❤
She and that one train from thomas the tank engin
Are now forever sealed away behind bricks
