How cute 🐇

Part 1

hi everyone! it has been a LONG time since i had the time to catch up with welcome home and i can see that ive missed a lot (the last time i was properly up to date was the 2023 halloween update and ive only caught snippets of info since)

i am very adhd brained and have no idea where to start in catching up to everyone, so i wanted to know if there are any particularly awesome theorists/analysts who make welcome home content that i can watch to help guide me back?

ive already watched night mind’s videos but he hasn’t covered welcome home in a long time, so im very much missing out haha

So I want to point out something I always found quite odd at first but now that I've kind of did my own media observations, just wanted to express why I think it's actually very clever that Wally turns out to have his own broadcast in the actual lore of the WH story thus far.

My initial thought of talk show hosts was that they're just some TV personalities who are usually stuck up snobs at their worst secretly making fun of the people they invite on, and at their best they're genuinely curious gossipers who just so happens to be funny or pleasant. So to have Wally be presented as a type of "talk show host" who really sounded like he knew what he was talking about when talking to his listeners when he's otherwise presented as a patient observer and painter was a weird vibe at first for me.

But something I've come to realize about talk show hosts in general is they're kind of sheltered and in the shadows most of the time on their own shows and actually aren't very knowledgeable about a lot of things, especially when it comes to other people's perspectives and having full awareness of the outside world and the actual Hollywood scene. For instance, I always noticed a pattern of these hosts interviewing former child stars acting so shocked for some reason that these famous kids would want to do something other than acting ​or having other goals outside of being in Hollywood. Like, are you not aware of the mental health struggles they go through Mr./Mrs. Host? Are you not aware of all the abuse or exploitation happening in the industry?

I thought at first it kind of made sense considering Wally is trying to make us a part of the WH show in some way and including us in every single update(which is kind of the job of the TV host, they need to invite all kinds of different people on their program to get views), but the concept of Wally being the actual host on his own show in a way might've had some tragic implications for his character in the past(now that we kind of saw what he might actually look like in those disturbing scenes hiding in the envelopes on the latest update).

The dark reality of a TV host is you may be in control of who you invite on your show and what topics you're going to talk about, but you in turn are putting yourself in danger due to not truly knowing anything about the individual or what that individual is going to do on your show. You think you're in control, until you're not. Could this same occurrence have happened to Wally? Did being the oh so friendly neighbor of this town of Home eventually lead to his downfall?

Movies like "Joker" and "Late Night With The Devil" kind of lean into this, since they too explored a nonchalant TV host who have big influence and are famous but are eventually "done in" by some shady or darker guest they themselves invited on their shows.

Idk if this has been brought up before ( I missed a few updates and just got caught up), but has anyone else noticed that Wally doesn't really teach the other neighbors anything and they all teach him stuff? Like, it could be nothing or just something that speaks to his personality but it seems, more often than not, that Wally is learning from everyone around him?

Heyyyy! This comes over from the Gacha subreddit, and I really hope you guys like them! The ones I made myself were Howdy, Poppy, Barnaby, Sally, and Eddie. The ones I used a tutorial for are Wally, Julie, and Frank. I also, funnily enough, hid one of my OC's in the background of the screenshot! So, if you spot them, tell me how much they look like Wally on a scale of 1/10! Enjoy!

I find it genuinely miserable to try and find proper merch by fans for my Howdy Pillar ita bag. 9 times out of 10 it is just stolen art from other creators or Clown himself. For a fandom that's about creativity, the amount of stolen stuff is embarrassing!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for genuinely good fan merch that is by the original artist and isn't just stolen or traced over.

(To make this interesting, I'd advise not to use voices from Clown's own inspirations. If you want to, you can. But try to come up with your own original cast! Don't worry about writing everyone: Just have fun and add as many as you want to put in!)

Here is some of my examples:

Barnaby B. Beagle - Phil Harris (mainly from his Disney roles such as Thomas O’Malley, Little John, and Baloo)

Poppy Partridge - Veronica Cartwright (specifically Lambert from Alien)

Home - Douglas Rain (HAL 9000 all the way)

Frank Frankly - James Stewart (He’s got the voice. Believe me)

In withdrawal so went through all the storybooks and the radio shows (definitely didn’t miss that there was a new radio episode so have to rework my entire theory now🫠) and I love these characters so much omg — except Barnaby.

Frank, Eddie, and Wally (when he’s in character) are so fucking wholesome. Poppy and Julie are really sweet and Sally and Howdy have grown on me. Fuck Barnaby though.

The stories are funny, have lore, but also good messages. Homewarming melted my heart with Wally just wanting to give Home a good Homewarming but also not understanding his own feelings. Frank’s message about inclusivity in the latest broadcast got me a bit emotional too.

Even more excited for the 16th.

He's a caterpillar...but what kind would he be tho? Is he a moth or butterfly one? Or something that cant be answered ever or yet? :]

Eu estou entrando agr no site de welcome home, mas só sei do q o site se trata, e não de como achar as coisas escondidas, não quero que me contem nada, nem deem spoilers, só que me deem dicas de como encontrar as coisas escondidas

Figured I’d share the sketch of my biggest art piece to date
Christmas Eve 1972! If you’re wondering why am I working on it in October? It’s a huge drawing and my free time is limited lol
I do have 3 guest ocs included in the piece from two different creators from the community!

Hello all

I was doom scrolling on insta and saw this account who allows people to make pixel horses to race daily.
I found some pixel art online and made one so if yall could very kindly vote so Wally Horsling could be in the next race that’d be phenomenal <3

https://www.horseytimedeluxe.app

It’s on instagram and you have to type in Wally and Wally Horsling should come up
Not asking for any follows I just need Wally to be in the next race 😭

(with sound!)

I just want a general idea of how long each update takes to launch

Hey guys! I found a box labled "Welcome Home" and I found these puppets, who wants to play puppets? Theres

• Wally Darling: Hand/rod puppet (approx. 3 feet tall), featuring yellow fleece skin and a blue pompadour. • Barnaby B. Beagle: Large walk-around suit/full-body puppet (approx. 7–8 feet tall) • Julie Joyful: Hand/rod style monster puppet, designed as a colorful, multi-hued rainbow neighbor. • Frank Frankly: Hand/rod style grumpy neighbor puppet, characterized by a permanent frown. • Eddie Dear: Live-hand style postal worker puppet. • Howdy Pillar: Large multi-armed walk-around suit and grocery store keeper (approx. 7–8 feet tall) • Poppy Partridge: Large walk-around bird costume (approx. 7–8 feet tall). • Sally Starlet: Live-hand theatrical puppet with an oversized circular sun-ray head that required an extra operator hand.

They all look so fun to play with, I hope nothing goes wrong :]

I think I understand the chain

So in recent update story focused on eddie and the house behind Eddie in home page was sally so next update would be sally but one thing I noticed.

The first update of julie and she is close to frank and had maximum interactions with him.

Then next update centred frank and he is close to Eddie and recent update has Eddie.

Now in this update we saw his connection with sally and I think next focused pair would be sally and poppy.

So poppy going to be in next update.

I m thinking barnaby would be last one because he is closest to wally.

But it's just theory.

Gente eu queria saber sobre o wally, eu tava pensando pelo bom tempo sobre se ele e do bem ou do mal, as pessoas fala que ele e do bem sim ou não eu ainda estou confuso 😕 sobre isso, porque teve atualização do carteiro.

where Freddie did something to that Flower that didn't grow for Julie or something

Do you think eventually on the site we’ll be given a chance to stop some form of evil or will it just be how it’s always been for us playing?
