Am I going crazy, or was this an actual part of the ARG that went under the radar?
(Light chapter 5 spoilers)
I'm not super active in the community but last year I was messing around in the sweepstakes ARG stuff. Noelle's blog has "Blood Crushers The Band - Raise Up Your Bat" and it reminded me of how the names of songs were written in the y2ks so it was easily searchable (I'm old lol)
I searched up the name and found this:
https://soundcloud.com/bloodcrusherstheband
I cannot for the life of me tell if this is just a really convincing roleplay account that created really convincing music. At the start of each track at 0:00 there's a comment by an account called "holidaygirl1225" that gives some background. It also has the prettiest rendition of Lost Girl I've heard, except here it's called "Untitled Demo". The bio also mentions band members and a link to the broken /december page.
After chapter 5 released and I went through the Burger/Pizzapants dialogue where he talks about attending band practice in Dess' band alongside Asriel and Kris, I remembered this bloody account. I don't think we knew that Burgerpants and Kris were also a part of Dess' band prior to chapter 5, right? How could this account have known, unless it was mentioned somewhere I missed?
I looked up Blood Crushers on Youtube and found the exact same pfp, same bio, same Noelle HolidayGirl1225 account giving the same lore verbatim But it has like under 100 views per vid.

Here's what bugs me. The songs were republished on Youtube only 4 months ago, but the account was created in March 2025, a month before the release of Chapters 3+4, a month before we even knew we were going to hear "Raise up your bat" or see the knight. Two of the songs supposedly have Dess singing in them which sounds similar to the knight's scream.
I rarely see anybody talk about this. It's got a few thousand plays and there's maybe one or two comments under the soundcloud that mention it being a part of the ARG, but other than that nothing.
