Mallorca - The Good Bits

Tuesday There are probably a metric fuck tonne of show caves in Mallorca so it’d be rude not to put at least one of them into our eyeholes. We’re both a sucker for a cave and it doesn’t seem to matter how many we gawp at over the years, we still seek out more. There are two in Porto Cristo which is just half an hour by bus away from us; Cuevas del Drach (Coves del Drach in Catalan) and Cuevas…

[kef-meister]

Also keep in mind that caves have their own unique systems - and letting in too many warmblooded creatures (humans) will affect them negatively.

AFAIK, the Coves del Drac in Majorca (Spain) are a major tourist attraction for good reason (the economy takes a hit if the caves are closed to the public) ... but due to the heat from the immense amount of visitors, it's actually affecting the rock formations over time.

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

V's Instagram posts: album, MVs, stories (archive), in Carabanchel

Exclusive pictures on Melon

Kim Eunyoug's Instagram post

V is the seventh member to have a solo release. The creation of the whole album featured Min Heejin (src). She explained she wanted to keep things simple to better show V's splendor (src).

There are also several appearances from Yeontan, V's pomeranian. Note however that he was replaced by another dog in "Rainy Days" MV because V couldn't take him to Spain (src). The dog in question is named Rocky and has an Instagram.

On the pre-order notice, we have a glimpse of a handwritten letter from V. Lyssy translated it here.

An exclusive photocard was featured if you bought the album at Barnes and Noble (src). The back shows the songs, not in the album order but in the release order (cr.). Another photocard shows a fake tickets with easter eggs like V's birthday (December, 30) or the release date of Layover (September 8, 2023) (src).

Bangtan Greenhouse made threads identifying the plants appearing in the pictures: plants in Photo 1, plants in Photo 2.

Concerning the two car posters, they show the custom Porsche 911SC made by Denny Kahler in 1987 (src) and a Ferrari Testarossa from 1984.

In this picture, V also wears an outfit reminding of Angus Young, the guitarist of AC/DC. The fact he has a guitar in one of the pictures accentuates the nod.

Most pictures were taken between Yeonnam-dong and Yeonhui-dong, in the northwest of Seoul. They notably went to the shop 사운즈굿 (SOUNDS GOOD STORE, they posted on Instagram) (src #1), to 매덕스피자 (Maddux Pizza) (src #1), to 미도파 (Midopa coffee house) (src #1, src #2, src #3, src #4), a cafe that was holding an exposition titled Videorama during the shooting (see their Instagram post) and to 피프에스프레소바 (Pfiff Espresso Bar).

The picture taken in the middle of a street in the second series was snapped here (src). As for the next one, it was taken nearby and there's another one taken two steps away, right in front of the gas station. And the two pictures with a vegetal background were taken on the street behind (here (src) and here). Please refer to this Google map (Chapter 2 > Layover's concept photo), for the location of these different places.

Thanks to the testimony of the owners and based on V's outfit, @jellda0 managed to reconstitute the path the team may have followed during the shooting.

The MV was filmed in the penthouse of the Torres Blancas in Madrid (src).

The video starts with the following text:

When you listen really carefully Loops go wheeling Cozy and stuck,

The birds fly in a V formation but backward to what they would do naturally (the point of the V is supposed to be at the front, not the opposite, though it can happen as a transitory thing). Several people interpreted it in relation to the lyrics about being stuck in the past.

The cartoon we see at 1:33 is an episode from Mighty Mouse titled "Wolf! Wolf!", released in the 1940s. A lamb is tricked into a wolf's den by following jazz music, reminding of the Pied Piper of Hamelin story.

The next extract shows a red fox cub from a European documentary released in the 1970s (and now available as a stock video on Shutterstock).

Lastly, the blooming rose comes from this stock video.

All the videos show symbols reminding The Little Prince (cr.). The Little Prince asks the narrator to draw a lamb, he becomes friends with a fox and he loves a rose. You can check @JKs_Waist's thread on Twitter for more details.

Several hints show V is an animator and his flat is his studio. @ halogen_803 made a great thread about it.

V uses a baguette to paint. On the left, you can notice a rotating picture that seems to come from the concept photo.

(019) Die drei ??? und der Teufelsberg

Klappentext

Auch wenn man nicht an Gespenster glaubt, bei einem abendlichen Spaziergang durchs Tal der Wehklagen können einem schon die Haare zu Berge stehen. Klar, dass unsere drei Detektive dem schauerlichen Heulen, dem das Tal seinen Namen verdankt, nachgehen müssen. Das jeden Abend einsetzende Stöhnen scheint aus einer Höhle im Teufelsberg zu kommen, doch sobald man sie betritt, herrscht Ruhe. Sollte an den Gerüchten, dass El Diablo, ein offiziell totgesagter Bandit, dort umgeht, doch etwas dransein?

Sonstiges

Die Natives haben eine Sage, dass ein blankes, schwarzes Ungeheuer in einem Wasserloch in der El Diablo Höhle lebt

El Diablo war wie eine Art Robin Hood und wurde 1898 festgenommen, floh aber wieder und versteckte sich in den Höhlen im jetzigen Tal der Wehklagen.

Justus ist alleine mit Peter unterwegs und spricht Peters unfehlbaren Orientierungssinn an. In der Folge "... und das Auge des Drachen (113)" sagt Justus erneut, dass Peter einen guten Orientierungssinn hat und Bob fragt: "Seit wann denn das?!"



🛼 Sonstiges

Lustige Dialoge

Justus: "Vielleicht ist es El Diablo selbst." Peter: "Du bist ja nicht bei Trost! Wir glauben doch nicht an Gespenster."

Bob: "Über Gespenster ist noch nicht das letzte Wort gesprochen! Allerdings sind wir noch nie einem richtigen begegnet."

Peter: "Urghlwärblghlbghlbghlb." Justus: "Peter, hör' doch mal auf! Das stört!" Peter: *Schluck* "Na schön." [Peter gurgelt wohl, aber es wird nicht explizit erwähnt oder erklärt, was dieses Geräusch war.]

Justus: "Sind Sie Froschmann von der Marine?"

Shippy moments

Bob: "Weißt du, was Justus vor hat, Peter?" Peter: "Och, keine Ahnung!"

Peter: "Ich kann mich nicht halten! Bob hilf mir! Bob, ich stürze ab!" Bob: "Ich kann nicht! Ich auch!" [Nahezu identischer Dialog in "... und der unheimliche Drache (007)"]

Die Folge hat auf Spotify einen Disclaimer, dass diese Folge ein "Produkt ihrer Zeit ist" und womöglich diskriminierende Inhalte haben kann. Aber im Grunde ist sie genau so schlimm, wie andere Folge auch, siehe "Indianer" etc.

[medecca-tales]

Medecca is a somewhat large world made up of 9 major continents. Read like a book - from top left to bottom right - they are named:

Twin Knife (a smaller continent with a large central forest that is dominated by the Fey)

Dragon's Wing (one of the most northern, a frozen wasteland with volcanic temples as the only bastion of life)

Dragon's Crown (the smallest continent, home of Dragons. Their warmth keeps the frost away from their many mountains and caves)

Drach Bine (a continent of sand that burns eternally, with a large population that lives underground in massive catacombs cities)

Emerald Gem (covered in swamps, the island is filled with life... though that life may be remaining Fey, witches, cultists, and those that trudge along in the society they fight to maintain)

Central Plains (large floating farm islands float above the lands that provide a rich harvest to the world)

Wolford (a long abandoned continent due to legends of old, a new country has started its infancy)

Phel Dorono (desert continent, where the sand contains a magical spice, a storm rages in a slow circle across the continent, and the capital is mobile)

Cheschire's Grin (a free continent, with roaming tribes and clans that refuse a new ruler to these lands, and tend to the ancient runes that were born at the infancy of the world)

More lands exist, but they hold less importance and likely won't contain stories.

Kretisches Kaffeetagebuch: Frau Drache

Nach diesem unerwarteten Zusatzhaken geht es weiter nach Plan: Kostas hat als nächsten Halt eine Taverne ausgesucht. Und natürlich nicht irgend eine, sondern die Dragon’s Cave Tavern. Google verzeichnet etwas oberhalb der Taverne sogar eine Drachenhöhle. Auch in der näheren Umgebung gibt es einen “Dragon’s Overlook” und einen “Dragons Beach”. Scheint ein vielseitiger Drache zu sein, dem wir –…
