A group of anonymous graffiti artists that all sign off their illustrations with “Don’t Lose Hope, —The Backyardigans”. These illustrations so far are of an instructional nature, and give advice to lost wanderers on survival. Very few of them have ever been seen, and a variety of mostly unsubstantiated rumors about their ulterior motives and secretive escapades have arisen about them, including that they’ve attempted to infiltrate the Snackrooms staff.
Creation
Due to their secretiveness and anonymity, it is practically impossible to pin down when The “Backyardigans” were founded. However, the first piece of graffiti with The “Backyardigans”’s insignia was reported on December 2, 2021 in Level 0.
“Backyardigan” graffiti, in chronological order of discovery:
In black and white, a woman with long curled hair, a tattered Victorian-esqe dress, and a bottle of almond water in one hand no-clipping through a wall, with one hand and one foot still on the other side of the wall. Captioned with “You Can No-Clip, You Can Make It” above the illustration, and the signature below. In Level 0, found on December 2, 2021.
In many bright colors but with red outlines and shadows, a Partypooper holding a Lily of the Valley lies peacefully in a coffin surrounded by more of the flower whilst students in a school uniform mourn them. The students face away from view. Captioned on one side with, “If they were alive, they’d tell you not to trust the smiles and confetti.” And on the other with, “Legend has it that some of them survived the Fun War…” with the signature below the illustration. In Level 1, found on January 18, 2022.
Outlined in black and with blue screen tones, a human crawler glaring straight at the observer. Captioned above with, “Don’t let these touch you and make sure your water is sanitary!”. Signature below the illustration. It is worth noting that this graffiti now has several bullet holes in it due to M.E.G. agents shooting it before realizing it wasn’t real. In Level 2, found on February 1, 2022.
In purple, yellow, and blue. A boy sitting in a sleeping bag, brushing his long, straight hair whilst looking at the watch on the wrist of the hand that does not hold the hairbrush. His sleeping bag has a bag of chips and an almond water. Captioned above with, “Take Care of Yourself, Keep track of time,” Signature below the caption, but above the illustration. In Level 1, found on March 1, 2022.
In full color but outlined in green, a woman of African descent wearing a blue My Hero Academia tee shirt, dark blue sweatpants, and tennis shoes gestures behind her. Captioned in semi-transparent text above the artwork, “Don’t Drink the Carpet Fluid. Explanation Inside.” Signature below the artwork. In Level 0 on the door of the Manila Room, found on March 12, 2022.
Colonies and Outposts
They appear to have no have no outposts or colonies, likely due to the fact that would break their anonymity.
