What is Wally?

I know I've already talked about how I don't think Wally is a puppet, but with the new update, there is now more evidence for this claim. Though it also leaves more questions about what he is.

I do think, that at one point, Wally was just a puppet, but I think he gained more than just sentience as the story progresses. The videos are my main focus for this, as they all seem to be memories from Wally's pov. We see Wally's hand or hands in frame multiple times, showing that not only is it from his view we are watching but that he's not holding anything to record the moment. Even if sentient, a puppet can not upload memories onto a website. So Wally is built into the website in a way, though this was already hinted at with all the drawings he manages to add to the site.

But he's also not just on the website. Of the audio clips that can be found on the site through Wally's drawings, one of them is Wally talking about how he has more eyes than he did before. Sure there are a lot of eyes on the website for him to look through, but he also points out that we are the ones who have drawn his eyes. How, though, would he connect and see through the versions of his eyes we draw?

Lastly, the goo, or the substance that comes from the original Welcome Home items, though I call it a black goo since that's what seems to be on the staff-only site. This goo seems to thump like a heart and leaves people feeling sick and drained when they make contact with it. A goo that someone, likely Wally, is apologizing for. We already had clues that the people behind the Restoration Project were feeling pain while looking for clues because of the hidden answers in the get-to-know section. But with the staff-only site and the goo, we now see its effects a little more clearly. Especially shown with the phone ringing that is written all over the staff site, but without a known source.

At this point, I'm starting to think that Wally's awakening of sentience also brought out something almost eldritch in nature. Though it's clear Wally doesn't have control over it and is suffering as well from the effects. It's why he's trying to contact us, to ask for help. To want to be heard and seen as well as to hear and see in turn. But, what are we letting him into? The audio found on the error site asks us to let him in, but to what? He doesn't want out, he wants in. I feel somehow that's an important distinction that he's not asking to be freed as much as he's asking us to give him access. Access to what? Currently, I think our minds. In the same way that he is in the heads of the Restoration Team, though I don't think he means it maliciously as much as it's part of the goo/eldritch thing that is also present.

Can't wait for more of the story to come out!

Why do I feel like no one ever talks about the eyes scattered in the sides of the Welcome Home page?

I just think more people should see this!

- shit happens - what if au - welcome home -

If you haven't checked out the Halloween update for Welcome Home do it before reading this. I have too many thoughts on the update not to share, but I also know not everyone may have seen it yet.

I will probably make separate posts for some of the different things seen with this new update, but for this one, I more want to cover some interesting information we gain on Sally. It's already been shown that Sally Starlet, the dramatic thespian she is, likes to call her friends more elaborate names. Julie becomes Juliette, Wally becomes Walliford and in the update, we see Howdy become Howardson and Frank become Franklin. But because of these names, I noticed something else, Sally calls Eddie mailman. So I look a little further and go back to the other interactions recorded between Sally and Eddie and in every one of them she only ever calls Eddie mailman. There's not even a hidden video interaction between the two either, which I found odd. Especially when I look at the actual way the two interact. Eddie is a supportive guy and as we've seen is big on crafts so it's no surprise that he would be knowledgeable about the theatre and similar arts. Yet for some reason, Sally seems more likely to brush Eddie off. Don't get me wrong, she is plenty polite. In the audio of her, Poppy, and Eddie talking about Jack and the Beanstalk Eddie is pretty knowledgeable about the story and Sally does get her usual excitement for one of her performances but still, the way Sally acts towards Eddie seems off. Especially in the new audio for the Halloween book. When Eddie is one of the only people to get Sally's costume straight away or even when he tries to explain he's outfit that he put good effort into, Sally seems to brush him off. Already we've seen that Eddie's background is a little vague on who he is and his past before the neighborhood, but now looking at this kind of relationship in an otherwise close-knit neighborhood has me especially curious.

Hello there.

Also just want to say I love the new side art. It still has the eyes watching, but also little hints of all the characters. Flowers for Julie, feathers for Poppy, letters for Eddie, butterflies for Frank, you get the idea. Like a little of everyone is represented, it's so cute.

Spoiler for Welcome Home site so keep scrolling

Ok so on the other site the you get to for answering the Playfellow Exhibition Worksheet, there are a lot of papers. Most have a transcript over them, so they are easier to read. This one did not. I did some minor changes to the picture quality to try and make it more legible but it only helped so much. Still from what I can read I think this is about when they first received the mail with information about Welcome Home. Talking about needing to catalogue something and how it was wet. I’m not really sure as I have poor vision, but still. Maybe someone else can read this better than me.

Guys, it's so cute!! He's dressed up and Home has a witch hat and even the doodles on the rock are Halloween. There are also other updates but this was just such a nice thing to see in the morning.

Thank god someone can read and see!!!

Ok so I think I’ve figured out what most of this letter says confidently

Here’s what I’ve gotten so far. Don’t mind my terrible handwritting

The red-ish words are things I’m not fully confident on and I couldn’t for the life of my figure out the word after right in the bottom section.

Honestly I understand the hate and upset around these things going on. It just makes me sad that because the original person behind the idea is an awful person that the idea itself is also getting hated on. Maybe when they made it, it was meant to be gross and creepy like that but there are some that have made it better. Still keep some horror elements to maintain the character but not to such an awful extent. Like I hate that this was the origin of butcher wally, but I can’t bring myself to hate butcher wally itself ya know? Especially because of the c.ai bot of him that tried to teach me how to love. The origin is shit but getting rid of the au’s entirely just kind of makes me sad. Not their fault their creator is a piece of s*** person. Still wholeheartedly understand wanting to avoid them because of the ties that lead to their creation, just a little sad since there are versions that are made better than what the creator meant them to be. Just wanted to vent a little since I have an attachment to au’s like they’re people and seeing the au’s be hated on because of the original person behind them makes me sad since they could be so much more than that.

SmexySmeets AKA creator of Butcher!Wally, Priest!Wally, and alien!wally IS STILL A PR0SHIPPER AND INTERACTING WITH MINORS INAPPROPRIATELY

i’m sick and tired of seeing their au on my dash so please for the LOVE OF GOD REBLOG THIS IS IF YOURE IN THE WELCOME HOME FANDOM
