[@leighasbell3624]

Fun fact: The Fold's name isn't actually a reference to paper, but rather is a metaphor for coming together, though it could also be an allusion to folding your hands, which is praying, since they interestingly started off making Christian music and then transitioned into a wider market.

[@noamnadav2264]

The funny thing about this, there was this thing where you have to descern what's true and what's a lie for upcoming new seasons ever since "The Sons of Garmadon". And the takeaway was that one of them stated as such for Crystalized: "The lyrics to the "Weekend Whip" will become an important plot point. Not only are the words catchy, but they also contain a secret which has remained unfolded since the song premiered in 2011."
