i’d like to make a written explanation of watcher wally’s lore, so that people can better comprehend the story of the au i’m trying to create!

this au has implications of cult behavior, religious trauma, scopophobia, and agoraphobia. please take care when reading this!

now, the regular show still exists in this au! wally looks the way he does in canon during the daytime, when the kids show is. however, at night, wally still misses his viewers.

wally and home are intertwined. “as above, so below.” home is as above, and wally is so below. they are physically connected. if home was to burn down into ash, so would wally. one cannot exist without the other.

home is not a kind entity in this au. wally’s house seems to be working against him at times during the night, when there are no cameras to stop it. home requires attention and care in order for it to continue being a living house. the kids show during the day, but at night… it has no eyes on it anymore. so it tries its best to make wally love it, worship it, devote himself to it, as a form of twisted self preservation. it hurts wally in these attempts. many times.

but if wally was to keep the cameras on at all times, then wally could keep his safety by interacting with his precious viewers.

thus, began the nighttime show.

wally can talk to people through the screen. there’s a little voice that comes from some of the eyes around him that ask him questions, give him concepts, and he answers them. sometimes he paints while he does, or brushes his hair, or even sleeps with the cameras on. he even changes his appearance, just because he likes it. kids don’t like fangs or a tall neighbor, and his connection with home’s strange little abilities allows him to change as he pleases.

so he turns on the cameras every night, after the workers have gone home, and no children are watching anymore.

the workers for the kids show will always find the cameras turned on in the morning, with no idea why.

wally likes the internet sometimes too! there’s always people talking about him, and when he’s grown tired of conversation after turning cameras on at night, he’s busy sifting through the guestbook and social media and worming his way to leave messages in pictures. it’s another kind of painting to him.

none of his friends know about the nighttime show. they’re all asleep, and assume wally is too, when in reality he’s busy singing in the mirror for little red eyes around his felt head.

that’s you! you’re the eyes. for every person watching him, there’s an eye to symbolize them. and he likes them, because he likes eye contact, after all!

and you’re wally’s best friend. so of course you’ll come back every night.

eventually, home grows restless. even with the viewers there, it possesses wally, takes hold of him through that tricky bond of his, and uses the fact that wally is a mobile being in order to wake up each of his neighbors, and hypnotize them too.

wally still isn’t quite sure how it happened, but soon home was the god of their neighborhood, a being meant to be appeased and devoted to and honored. and he couldn’t take it.

he didn’t know how to reverse what home had done, or how to keep home from doing it again other than running away. away from the puppet show. so he took one of the big set cameras, and wandered off away from home, so that home would be too far away to control him again.

his body now aches constantly. he feels almost like he’s decaying, but he knows that it’s just his body fighting the distance and imbalance between him and home. what is as above is no longer ‘so below’, and it’s eating at him physically.

but he doesn’t mind. because he has his viewers, he has you.

and you are wally’s best friend.

@partycoffin . i know you won’t be on here for a while, but this is not only a message to you, but to the other people who enjoy welcome home as well.

i’m a oc creator. my characters have gotten me through rough times, days of depression and misery. and i’m hypo-empathetic. i don’t empathize well. but i understand this well. regardless of if you ever stop creating, there will be a world of support for you here. you’ve created an art that’s fueled a lot of stuff that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, i’m sure, but there’s plenty more who find comfort in the creation of welcome home. and i know they wouldn’t dare blame you for any choice you make. your boundaries deserve respect, alongside your privacy.
