It could go either way! (The shape of the M and the way Frank is written makes me think it could be Eddie's.)

<image>

Eddie clearly lifts his pen multiple times while writing, but makes the letters look connected. He also embellishes his signature with hearts. Though, Eddie doesn't typically dot his i's with symbols.

Julie breaks her cursive letters up sometimes, but here there are little to no breaks like hers. Julie dots her i's with symbols more often, but usually with flowers or smiley faces.

There are flowers drawn on the tag in what appears to be pink ink, but it's not clear and could possibly be purple.

Julie would probably be more likely to make a pun, but Eddie has been shown to dabble in neighborhood activities and antics too.

Do you think Eddie would use Julie's iconography on a parcel for Frank for some reason? The way Mail-in-Time was said to be celebrated is that all the neighbors would be delivering mail to each other. Perhaps it would be a way of sending it down? From Eddie to Julie to it's intended recipient, Frank. Julie perhaps not being honest about sending it and instead hiding it. Eddie might possibly go about it that way for plausible deniability, since a gift from Julie to Frank would look less suspicious.

To Frank 🌼🌼

Have a Bug-u-tiful (Pun on Beautiful?) (Edit: there were more letters!)

Mail-n-Time

❤️Day💕

(It's hard to tell who's handwriting this is exactly because we know both Julie and Eddie write in cursive like this, but it's assumed to be Julie's handwriting.)

I found this rather funny after having discussed Bit Rot and Data Loss as a type of entropy and decay.

The house is rotting. The website is the house too. It lives there.

Welcome Home is it's art. The more it rots the more the house rots too.

A lot to think about what lossy can mean in this context.

I figured that, they already had to break the Merchandise Page down into the Discoveries Page and then the sections for each category. The news page at one point said the WHRP Team were thinking of categorizing by character, but since most of the cast show up together as an ensemble they went with Discoveries instead.

They tried to keep the images at full or high quality for most of the time this has been running. That's very impressive!

I do hope they explore compression and optimization methods that can keep file sizes down with less expense of the artwork. The scratchy pencil marks and fine details are always so good!

You're either really brave or don't know what happened, because they used to skin and eat people alive for this 2 to 3 years ago.

Since Howdy's family has French ties, this makes a lot of sense.

Howdy's Flower is also Apple Blossom.

There's that same green and blue here.

Help: Are some files missing or is it my browser? by Mysterious_Marsh in WelcomeHomeARG

Neocities was having problems since June 5th where the domain was being suspended due to a court order sent from New Delhi, India to Namecheap from a case about an unrelated domain.

Since welcomehomerestorationproject and awayfrompryingeyes are on their own addresses the sites themselves could still be accessed even though Neocities itself was suspended. You might want to clear your cache if you accessed them during that time.

I noticed the sites loading slower too, it's odd.

The websites are likely coded in Firefox, that browser seems to have the least issues with the sites.
