warlock wizard Wally scribbles... Thinkings! oh and a bonus bard-ish Barnabys in the corner for flavor
outfit ramblings:
first of all that is a Terrible rendition of what Home looks like in my head. i just needed to fill empty space </3
the staff was the toughest part honestly. bc it Had to be paintbrush-themed, but then halfway through scribbling i was like "oh shit. there are only so many ways to draw a paintbrush-wizard-staff and Weevmo already hit it out of the park." so if you're seeing similarities! you're right! i tried to make it as different as i could! there is Inspiration from their marvelous design, however accidental or subconscious! Apologies!
he gets a pointed hood instead of a hat because a) it looks great on him! and b) it has less of a chance of messing up his hair! also c) it helps muddle the difference between Wizard and Warlock. typically hoods have evil/duplicitous connotation - blur the lines! i want his long gloves and forearm wraps to have the same vibe. his neckerchief is a big help in hiding Home's seal!
his layered (loosely apple-themed) capelet (which the hood is attached to) has a nice high collar & hides the details of his loose shirt - eye embroidery! and some flowers on the shoulders but yk, mostly eyes. on one side of the shirt buttons has open eyes, the other side they're closed! there's also one big eye on his back!
his belt buckle is two halves of an apple! he wears tall thigh-high boots w/ low heels to feel Taller! he has a book-holster hooked to the back of his belt, which holds his grimoire! and he has a lil thigh-bag that has been magicked to be Bottomless and warps size! he can fit pretty much anything in there! canvases! paint! apples!
his half-skirt thing (idk what the word for it is!) is really plush, like a quilt - his capelet is the same fabric. soft, cozy. sometimes he'll use the skirt thing as a blanket in a pinch, or as a picnic placemat!
is his outfit a little Complicated? is it annoying to replicate? yes and yes. but im a maximalist at heart and Nothing But The Best for the blorbo <3 layers my beloved <3

Just had like... the dumbest idea for an original work.
Supernatural universe with a super competent feline race that are excellent at blending in with humans. They're good at everything. Including minding their own business. But that also makes them very good at judging whether other supernatural creatures are putting their world at risk with humans or not. Some are even tasked with being Official Judges for others to bring their grievances before, and others still tasked with carrying out punishments. It is made especially clear that these two classes of the feline race are a very last resort. They live aloof from both sides, only opening up to their own species, and it's considered one of the highest honors when they decide a non-feline is part of their inner circle.
"I don't mean this to be insulting or anything," Human MC asks.
"I will not be offended," Feline Character replies.
".......Are you all autistic," Human MC asks.
Feline Character does an 👌🏼 at them. "We've been masking in mixed company for literally millennia."

So sick thinking about the hermits getting ready to leave Empires. I know they've been there a while and have to go home but. Man.
Jimmy's rancher never came home.
Even when he built their house back for him with his bare hands, saying I want you to be here. I want you to be mine like you were. I love you like I did the day I lost you. I want to share my empire, something that means everything to me, with you.
Tango is never coming back.

I am awake! i am living! i am FERAL!
This litle update has me absolutely SPINNING
Firstly just allow me to say that everything is just oh so so CUTE
The costumes, the sprites, the 19 minute long audio, the COOKBOOK my beloved!!
But anyways, theory time!!
Well more like observations, thoughts and unhinged ramblings XD
Gonna put it Down Below:
Speaking of that. First observation is the wording of Down Below
We usually talk about waving up high! It is said so many times!
But now we finally have our official "As Above, So Below"
My first thought on this is the theme of a stage,
"As above the stage, down below the stage"
But I truly dont think we have enough information to make a connection quite yet
We know where "Down Below" is
I wonder where "As Above" is?
The second thing is the Wally Darling costume
And the Eyes
I realize now that the Eyes are actually just holes and showing whatever is underneath, BUT I still can't help thinking that this was intentional! Perhaps it's some sort of Code?
Afterall, his eyes are Black!
Now to get into the MEAT here:
Spoilers if you have not found the secret audio!
during the secret audio "Listen"
The bug found on the transcript
Wally stares directly at the "eddie" apple as he eats the apple on the plate (I also just wanted a screenshot of the "eyes" in the BG)
and now… now i have theories
hang on cause it involves the entire transcript that was said but not said in the transcript itself!
(In fact, it says this part is not there!! but it IS)
so i typed it out by ear
(also ayoo we have a narrator!!)
(also there is a lot of 4th wall breaking and quite a few neighbors seem to know that there is a show/that they are puppets)
(but anyways!)
ok but here is what is said in the story
It is because this town is rumored to have visitors at night… Something from deep within the forest, far beyond the hills and mountains… No one knows what it wants or where it’s going, just that it is persistent.. Just that it arrives here.
So many stories have risen about their origins… But I know what it is searching for.
it is looking for neighbors who have stayed up past the daytime, to gobble them up whole
that is why so few live here
it moves through the streets at night, but it doesnt break into Homes
However, on rare instances, it will find itself with an appetite unsatisfied by its aimless wanderings
even the occasional unfortunate insect that has crossed its path, is not enough
those who have lived through the nights say, it isn't quiet about it either
they always say you can hear when it gets closer to you
do you know what sound it makes?
I hear it, every night.
you can hear it too, if you listen
especially if you wait next to your window
First, there's rustling in the bushes
Then, the scratching on the pavement, and the walls.. as it crawls up
Finally, if you're quiet..
You can hear it's guttural sound
ok ok so there seems to be a theme going on here and the theme is Hunger
And also when the audio gets all garbled and skipping?
I feel like it is saying..."Frankly" over and over?
I could be overthinking, but it is what i hear!!
it almost feels like Wally.. can't control his hunger
he was supposed to be watching Barnaby's apple
Barnaby even says "Don’t worry though, kid, there’s plenty’a other eats here! What’re you feelin’ hungry for, Wally?"
and he is quick to draw attention away from wally, as he tends to do a LOT
barnaby seems to Know a LOT about Wally, and thats why he sort of has to be his babysitter?
I think that there could be a connection here
I think Wally was HUNGRY, he was absolutely STARVING
OR OR
Maybe something else was Hungry? Home?? Whatever the black goo/mold is?? If something is controling Wally?
His eyes are black, the Goo is black, the goo is coming from Home
But also also
[It sounds like Barnaby pats the camera.]
Going back to my theory of wally being the camera/ the audience surrogate/his eyes are cameras
This is fuel to my fire!!
Oh and also the Wally Costume add to the motif of You being able to see through Wally's eyes. Of You and Wally being connected through his Eyes!!
But at the end of the day, I think this update revolves around Eddie!
This little bug on the rock is Purple! Which we know is Eddie's Color!
And just that that doodle looks like the bug that leads to the secret Audio where Eddie's apple is brought to the screen..
Leads me to feel like something forboding is going on for our poor, dear sweet Mailman!
Which by the way, just another little Observation
But Sally doesnt seem enthused by the fact that Eddie is a fellow Arts lover? and she just calls him "Mailman" rather than an affectionate longname like she does with everybody else
But it does feel like Eddie is the Type to give his heart and soul to everyone, the shirt from his back, only for him to get left in the dirt
u_u I'm noticing a trend of him being the neighborhood punching bag
Eddie IS the mailman tho!
So it only makes sense that he is the one delivering the letters to the WHRP. He is not the one writing them, he's just the delivery guy!
But I think he could be being sent out at night
When everyone else is asleep
And I think something terrible may happen to him
It's very dangerous to go out at night
and This could be where Eddie is ripped in half/mangled
Wally fixes him of course!
(old theory but it does reference that)
So is Wally just using Eddie to serve whatever purpose he is after?
Eddie is a very compliant guy, he would do anything for anyone
and if he can be put back together, where is the harm?
I am starting to make connections!
Stringing together the pieces!
And once again, i'm getting the question of
"Is Wally Evil?"
And once again, I am answering with a solid "No"
Do I think that he could be slightly morally askew?
With the themes of "I must do what I need to do, no matter what happens" "I'm sorry, but this is how it must be" "The ends justifies the means"
Possibly, maybe. Especially if it is to save his Neighbors, his World, his Home.
Or, Just some of his actions are not his, he is a puppet afterall.
Anyways anyways, this has been a very very long and rambly tangent.
Hopefully there can be some sense made from this, I know that I can be a bit jumpy with my thoughts!!
But these are my inputs for now!!
Feel free to add on/correct me!
(I know the one link is out of cannon date, but so was the Frankly picture, and it was made cannon, so take it with a grain of salt)

ok so
the instructions were for Wally, not the whrp/qa/You. which is especially interesting, because I think we all assumed they were instructions from Wally - after all, he's the one telling the whrp that they have work to do, he's sending envelopes (assumedly), he's sort of the driving force behind the whole in-universe project. he calls the shots, in a way. he's the one with the phone.
so who the hell is giving Wally instructions?
is it related to the distorted "extra" voice under Wally's in some of his hidden record audios? is it related to Sally's "monster"? is there someone else in Home?
just... there's a whole 'nother layer underneath Wally that i think is really scary. there's something else there, i feel. i Fear. i wonder if Wally is aware of it, or if he isn't quite as aware as we all - including him - like to think. how aware can a puppet be if they can't see their own strings (so to speak)? it's one thing to know what you are, and another entirely to understand what that entails.
