okay so imagine you're a 7 year old lonely only child with asthma and inhalers don't exist
it's the middle of the cold war and your mom works handling super secret lab stuff so she drops you off at daycare every day, and you just do your thing
then one day two 10 year olds rock up like "hi. our old house was destroyed with biological warfare and everyone we know died. then we took apart a tank with our bare hands." the girl can read at a college level and the boy does a kick flip and sticks a perfect landing even though his sister punched him in the dick at full power halfway through
they say "hey, you're cool. come cut class with us?"
the daycare teacher has no idea what to do with them and just lets them take you away from class
you get a little wheezy and they say "oh man, have you tried an inhaler?" and your asthma is magically fixed (for 15 minutes)
anyway Lukas from Burrow's End did nothing wrong. given the circumstances I also would pledge alliagance to Jaysohn and Lila and tell them about my mom's cool job she said to never talk about

burrows end noticings so far
this is me just pointing out (or referencing other peoples noticings and connections, ill link and tag whoever i find!)
SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING UP TO EPISODE 4!!!
also fair warning i will be going like that one meme of the guy with the red string on the board so bear with me (hah)
ANYWHO!
First Up, the Pinset!!!!
Now, Dropoutās Merch store changed format/ui during the past week (i think) but ill show photos before and after.
okay, cool awesome tumblr user why- but whats the big deal?!?!?!
well as we all know tula, thorn vale, and avas pin along with the bonus pin glow in the dark, as shown with the photo in the old version! (also āold versionā screenshots by @cashmeredragon tysm!!)
however, if you go to the new website (updated i should say) there isnt a photo that shows which pins glow in the dark (as of this post) however, it is hidden in the description as shown here
okay, so they didnt use a photo in the new website. which wouldnt be strange, but there hasnt been a glow in the dark pinset before so why wouldnt they include the photo? i think it might be because of the distinct choice to make specific characters have that feature.
with the photo included, its really obvious that the selection means something, as well as the included design choice of it being shaped like an atom as well as the lore and world being more of a mystery. I think they changed it so that way it wouldnāt be as noticeable of a design choice since the series is still in the beginning as well as people already noticing it.
welllll what does it all mean?!?!
i dont know honestly šš my personal theory is that something will happen specifically to thorn vale, ava and tula later on in the series but its just a waiting game.
Next up-
HAZMAT PEOPLE!!
as of episode 3, the descriptions of the āmonstersā are quite literally people in hazmat suits, (with gas masks)
āimpossibly tall with big, saggy, yellow dull skin that hung in drapes that went black and tight at the paws at its hands and feet, big reflective eyes unblinking that shone like the moonlight on a still pondā¦.ā Aabria - quote starting at 44:43 of ep3
Also! we have visual confirmation from a (now changed gulp) adventuring party thumbnail, you might have seen my post freaking out about it!
so yeah, multiple pieces of meta content (i guess thats what im calling it??) having been changed due to the things they reveal about the series, big woop!!!!
edit: as of episode 4, they have been comfirmed to be humans!!
Finally, the intro.
an intro showing lore about the series before the lore is even discovered??? big shocker!!
i'm going full theorist mode for this one so buckle up
here are some screenshots from the intro!
now if you notice in the backround, there are THE FREAKING DIAGRAMS AND PLANS FOR THE SCIENTISTS/RADITATION/HUMANS/WHATEVER THE FUCK!!!!
now obviously, as a good and normal d20 fan, i zoomed in and edited them to see what i could read.
One word I could clearly make out was the title at the top 'Ilosciowa" which, (according to google translate) is actually iloÅciowa, meaning quantity or quantitative in polish. (Any Polish Speakers feel free to correct me). So This paper is probably some lab report or analysis sheet, so the 'stoats are an experiment theory' might not be too far off.
Now, this is a bit of a stretch but the word 'miejece' (which is what i decipered from the middle box) apparently means Place- also in polish.
also, bonus polish word! in this
screenshot the word āWatekā can be read, which means Thread in polish!
Now, just from some light googling- yes Stoats exist in Poland, and they also have Nuclear Power-
However- in episode 3 Aabria said that this story wasn't happening in a very specific place. "This doesn't Exist anywhere on a map, so we don't get weird about it." Aabria episode 3, around 1:22:42
so, the following things I notice should be taken with a mountain of salt- they might have just used stock images or it might not have as much relevance as Iām making it out to be. I will say however, plans and blueprints havent NOT had significance before example mentopolis. But this is all me just speculating.
ALSO VEHICHLES!!!
there are multiple blueprints of various veichles in the backround of these screenshots, i'll throw some in now.
there are also multiple strange devices throughout! so cars/big machines will definietly have an impact/be relevant (as they already are.)
HEY GUYS. UM. JUST FINISHED EPISODE 4.
THEY CHANGED THE BACKROUND PAPERS IN THE FUCKING INTRO EXPLODES.
And guess what! More. Polish. I saw another user notice this aswell I will try to tag them when I can!!
heres the first one! edited for clarity, here is what I could make out. (Missing a couple of words because I didn't have all the letters.)
"kadluble o lewej stronie nad (unreadable) rapÅonu (unreadable) podwosia ry wybity na"
which roughly translates (google translates, again polish speakers feel free to correct) to
"the hull on the left side is stamped on the unreadable part of the chassis"
(Chassis being the base frame of a motor vehicle)
SO YEAH... VEHICLES MIGHT PLAY A BIG PART.
here are more screenshots from the 'new' intro.
in this one, we continue to see that strange circle tunnel/washing machine looking thing with writing as well, which I would love to translate but life is busy so I might later!
ALSO. MORE WEIRD RECTANGLE MACHINE THINGS. a continuous theme in these intros.
I am probably just speculating and all of this might not be relavant whatsoever, but its fun doing deep dives! I might translate some more of the readable words If I have time, but like I said life is crazy rn so feel free to add on anything that yall find out!!
