Yup. Whiskers has another hyperfixation project. OH GOODIE!!! So I’m here to talk about Lena Raine’s Sounds of Picnic Province album cover! This is one of the many albums for the game, like the OST and An Afternoon in Luncheon. This album mainly consists of the more detailed sounds of the game. Essentially, the music on the outskirts/outsides of villages, or the insides of houses. BUT! This isn’t a music analysis! We’re talking about the album COVER! So! With that being said, you can see that on this album cover we have two characters. The characters are two of my favorites. Pickle (the fox aka the best character) and Onion (the bird.) Right off the bat, these characters have pretty much nothing to do with each other, or to be more specific, are never seen together. Onion is a DJ who resides in Dinners, but can also be seen traveling Picnic looking for sounds to use in his songs. Pickle is your average villager who lives in Luncheon. Here’s where an AWESOME Easter egg comes in!! One of the side quests that you can complete is delivering all of the mail across Picnic. One of the letters you are to deliver is to Onion, from his mystery pen pal. Also, the letter was written before the events of the game. The letter says: “sup mystery pen pal. i’m on week 3 of chicory watch. cannot believe her janitor tho. clearly tryna make buds. i see through it all. i know everythin about tryna make buds. because i am always trying. but honestly idk how to know when someone likes u. i share everything about myself all the time. and then idk what to do after that. what makes people like u? am i boring? should i have secrets? ive never really said this stuff to anyone so i guess it’s kind of my secret” After then, Onion stops reading out loud. There’s a lot you can assume from this letter. One, it’s from Pickle as you can see from the tone and text-like manner of the letter. Since it’s from a ‘mystery pen pal’ it’s up to the player to make the connection that it’s from Pickle. Two, Pickle doesn’t really share these types of things with just anyone. So, Onion and Pickle are pen pals. This cover of the two of them is really nice to see, saying that they were mystery pen pals. A fun little Easter egg. So onion and pickle were the main thing I wanted to talk about, but I could also talk about the setting of the cover. They’re probably on Dessert Peak, since the bells on the peak are above them. In the distance, you can see a structure that looks like a tree. That is unmistakably the wielder tower- since the corruption on top was transformed into a beautiful tree. As you can tell small things like this make me really happy. It isn’t significant, but it’s still really fun. Another thing that might not be important at all, but possibly could this album be written by Onion himself? :0 AND THESE ARE ALL THE SOUNDS HE COLLECTED AROUND PICNIC?!?!?! They took the game off of gamepass and now I’m sad. Welp time to buy it for my switch and play it all over again after getting 100% completion
