The Isolated Demon AU - Chapter 2

The man was stirring, high pitched ringing echoing within his ears. His vision was deeply blurred as he was rising from the candlelit summoning circle. The man was dazed, groaning softly as he lifted his hand to his forehead. He was confused.. was that all but a cruel dream? He was unsure. He dragged himself up onto his knees, looking to the his side and finding the axe placed right beside him.

Henry was hesitant as he lifted the axe from the floor. He felt the weight of the prior events within its blade. He was glad he managed to escape that thing's wrath.

Henry lifted himself up from the floor, not even bothering to brush off his pants. There wasn't a need for that, anyways. They were already ink soaked.

He made a sigh, walking towards the boarded up door, only to chop right through the planks and the door itself. Splinters had flown into the air as well. The man then made way.

Heading down the inky steps, he had found a tape recording.. huh. He did lean against the wall for a second, just to listen. "...huh.. alright.." He murmured softly in response before heading into the flooded ink that had covered the nearby hall.

As he trudged through the low ink, he heard something ahead. With that, he quickened his pace. "Hey– wait!!" He called towards the small chatter that sounded from other side. Once he erupted from the hall, he glanced down both ways, completely confused. There was no one there.. "what...? I could've sworn there was someone there.." He muttered.

He made a soft sigh, walking into the open room to the side. He looked around. It was rather open. It was clear this was the music department, considering the giant sign across the walls with the hung up vinyl records. He walked across to look at the items hung up. The ink started collecting and bubbling behind him.

Monsters of goop and sludge formed. One that finished forming had rose, swiping right across the man's back, a gurgling growl sounding from the damned thing. This had caught Mr. Stein off guard. Henry swiftly turned on his heel, slamming the axe's head straight into the inky body. Luckily that was all it took to kill them. A quick swipe. Ink had sprayed onto him more as he hacked and chopped into these things.

He had an black print on his back thanks to the one that first attacked. He was breathing heavily. He wasn't expecting these to show up.. not at all. He could've sworn that it was just another length the demon was going to at least try and end his life. Once he the inky puddles stopped bubbling, seeping back into the floorboards, the gramophone started up.

A soft, upbeat tune sounded through the halls, the recording sign nearby lighting up. That.. was odd. However it was a slight comfort, considering the tune was pretty good to listen to. He took a moment, just standing to recollect himself. He was trying to think of what he was supposed to do next.

He then chose to head towards the hall and look around. He found some doors, messing with the knobs to see if any will open.. One door happened to open. However, it only revealed an organ. He sighed. "Nothing.." He muttered softly. He then walked off further into the hall, seeing the sign for the office of Sammy Lawrence. The door was being sprayed with ink thanks to some busted pipes, though. He doubted the door could open. He then looked past the ink, spotting a tape.

"Shit..." He now had to get a mouthful of ink if he were to grab it. He sucked in a breath, walking over and just grabbing the tape before leaving the shower of sludge.

He then pressed play. "A janitor who lost his keys—"

As Henry had listened to the old tape recording, a living wolf cartoon walked up behind him, placing a hand on the man's shoulder. The man flinched, turning around with the axe he had on hand at the ready.

Eying the axe, the boris had stepped back to avoid getting hit. He had an old baseball cap on, an ear up and the other one down. He seemed to have a scar or two on him. One on the snout, one across his shoulder.

Henry stared, holding the axe as he squinted, scanning the wolf. He didn't look dangerous. "..Hello... you aren't going to cause any harm, right?" He questioned, skeptical of the wolf. The living toon nodded happily, his tail wagging. He showed up right as the tape ended. Conveniently, it was labeled with the name, 'Wally Franks.' Surely the label on the wolf's hat were a coincidence as well..

"Alright... good to know. My name is Henry. Do you mind helping me get out of here?" The man questioned. This boris thought for a second before rubbing his fingers together as if asking for what he'd get in return.

"What do you want to get in return?? Food?" That was met with a quick nod. Boris then pointed at the label on the tape recorder before pointing at himself. "Oh...? You're.. Wally Franks? Alright then.." He hummed. "Alright, Wally... lead the way." He spoke, sighing lightly.

With that, Wally immediately marched away, glancing back at Henry to be sure he was following after the wolf. He'd survived these studios for quite some time, having avoided driving himself insane. He happened to have his keys stuffed into his overalls front pocket so it was an easy task to get into his old closet. The wolf didn't remember why he had the music director's old tape in his closet though.

Henry looked at the tape, then back at Wally before he just pressed play. "Oh... it's a riddle...?" He glanced at Wally, a tad confused. The wolf looked back, his ear twitching as he listened to the tape.

Wally looked back at the tape, mentally noting the instruments. First, the banjo... next, the drum. Then the bass fiddle.. also known as a cello.. and finally, the violin. Considering his toony hands, he looked at Henry. Maybe he should do this.. it should be easy enough, anyways.

Henry got the memo, and sighed. "Alright, let's go."

The temporary duo had then made their way towards the recording area, finding the instruments. However, along with the instruments, they found oddly placed bendy cut outs.

"Uh.. did you put them here?" Wally looked at Henry, confused. How the hell could the wolf do this if he's been by your side the entire time?? He made a small snort, going up into the projectors booth as well.

Henry then made his way around the chairs and cut outs, playing the song in the correct way. The first few times, the projector had gone out before he could finish. But after moving the musical instruments closer together, he had gotten it. The large garage door opened with loud shrieks. God damn, that was loud. Wally clapped his hands together happily, his tail wagging now that that was settled. Though, as it went up, the human was then surrounded by more blobish creatures.

He was now focused, picking up the nearest instrument— the banjo, only to swipe it and hit the searchers in their heads and shoulders. Luckily it worked.. however, it did ruin the item he used. Henry didn't exactly care about it, though.

"Shit... YOU ALRIGHT UP THERE, WALLY?" He called, however.. Wally was gone from the projectors stand.. that.. was odd. Maybe he decided to come down..? But. He hasn't entered the room.

Henry decided to take this as a sign to just finish what they were here for so it'd be done with.

Trudging on down the hall, he came across the small room.. huh. Odd how there was a random toilet in this room. He did find a valve. "Huh.. I wonder what this'll do.." He muttered. He turned the valve, expecting nothing to happen. To his surprise, he was correct. He hummed, walking back. "Well... that was a waste," or so he thought. As he passed by it, he luckily hadn't been attacked by anymore searchers when he passed by. That was a relief.

Exiting the room, he headed down the hall where he first met Wally.. huh. Wally isn't here either?? Weird. He saw that the infirmary was drained of ink. One of the busted pipes wasn't spraying everywhere by the office, either. "Oh. So something did happen.. great to know."

He looked around, humming before just wandering down to the medical area. Maybe he was actually getting closer to getting out of this place now..

Putting a few more searchers down, he discovered a pipe with a missing valve. "What the... well where is it..—" That was right where he saw the blobby searcher with a bowtie and bowler hat on. He had the valve in hand. Henry just stared, sighing in annoyance. "–really? Alright hand it over–" He was interrupted by the odd creature just disappearing in the ink with the item and going further down the ink covered... hall? Sewer?? He didn't even know what it was.

"God damn it.." Henry groaned in slight annoyance.

He then just followed after the blobby man. The guy in the hat even seemed to be teasing him— are you serious right now?? Henry just started running after the man. "GET BACK HERE!! I need the wheel!!" There were gurgles that sounded like laughter from the rather dapper ink man as he ran.

Sadly, the inky man was now cornered. Knowing this, the mystery man just dropped the turnwheel before just disappearing to go elsewhere.. what..? Henry was just left confused, stepping forward to take it. "Jeez... didn't have to make me chase you for it.." He muttered, sighing as he then turned heel and headed back. He was getting tired of some of the creatures around here. He was just glad to be finding the few that were actually peaceful.

As he headed off, returning the wheel to the pipe. He turned it. Finally. He was about done. He was about to be home free. He was happy about that.

Heading up to the office of the music director, he just got through the ink, just to get the lever pulled so he could drain the stairs and leave.

Henry was smiling quite a bit now, thanks to it. He then left the office, immediately going for the stairs.

As he heading to leave, he was knocked out. He hadn't caught a single glance of it.. he fell to the floor with a thud.

Henry had slowly regained consciousness. Vision fuzzy as he glanced around the room, slowly processing what happened.

Currently, the man was now tied up to a pole. The cartoon wolf already melting into a puddle on the floor beside him. Henry could feel his heart in his mouth as he stared at the poor thing. Ink was oozing from different parts of his body. The baseball bat had been tossed to the other side of the room, the hat on the ground in a depressing memorial.. thanks to Henry previously listening to a certain tape, he found out who this wolf was. Wally... whoever this man was... he was wanting to try and save him. However, that didn't happen. It couldn't happen. Not anymore.

Henry looked up at the man that had now walked into view. A psychotic grin was painting his lips behind that mask. "Great..." the masked man spoke, "you're awake.. very pleasing to know." Henry was panicked. Did this man do this to that poor boris?? He wanted to say something, but he couldn't get it out.. "Shhh... shh... it is alright, my little sheep..." a small purr rumbled from the ink covered man. Apparently he could tell the sacrifice to be was nervous and confused.

"It is better that you do not question. . . You will not have to worry any longer, after all." He hadn't really given a single second to try and acknowledge who it was... he seemed like a broken man, anyways.

Henry wasn't enjoying this. He forced the words out of his throat— "Untie me!! You sick bastard! You killed that poor ma—" He was immediately interrupted.

"Tsk tsk tsk. It was not an unreasonable sacrifice. It was for him. All.. of what we do... is for him." He spoke in a soft menacing tone. This situation unsettled the tied man. The masked man had slowly pressed his finger to Henry's lips with a soft shushing sound. "..it is time, little sheep.." the man spoke.

Stepping back, the man in the bendy mask had clasped his hands before his face. "My lord. Bendy. Hear me. I have a duo of sheep for your honor. I pray that this reaches you. I PRAY YOU HEAR ME."

The man started to preach, his voice crescendoing. He needed his lord to hear him. He must be heard. He wouldn't let this sacrificial ritual go wrong. He couldn't. As the man shouted, Henry could see the room darkening and ink slowly dripping from the ceiling. He bit his tongue at this. Whatever he was chased by previously... was about to be here. Before he knew it, the beast had run into the area, a loud shrieking erupting from the ink demon's sludge filled throat.

Sammy smiled wider behind the mask. "YES, MY LORD!!! COME AND TAKE THESE OFFERINGS!!!—" As he continued to exclaim, pressing his arms out above him in his worship, the masked man had been swiped aside. He was practically tossed by the beasts tail. He hit the wall immediately, groans coming from him.

While the demon was busy, Henry immediately took this as his chance to escape. He squirmed a bit, another booming call from the damned thing to his right had caused the building to shake with rumbles like an earthquake. Mr. Stein caught this as his chance and pushed til he was freed from those restraints. He ran over to the axe nearby to snatch, noticing the hat that was still on the floor. He was hesitant, but he grabbed it and attached it to the belt loop on his trousers. He'd rather honor the man who wore it. He was helpful during this, anyways.

Henry then immediately bolted across the room with the axe. He was hoping the demon wouldn't notice him. To his misfortune.. that didn't happen. The creature sensed his movements thanks to the overflowing ink and turned with growls rumbling in its throat. It turned from the ink man that had his guts torn out, only to chase.

Booming roars and growls followed after as Henry turned another direction. He was haphazardly chopping through any planks that were in his way so he could escape. After a while of the chase, he made it. He dove for a closing door, panting hard from that long run. He didn't ever run this much when he wasn't here. Not even when he worked here.

The gate like door shut fully once he made it into the room it hid. The beast had slammed into the door once it was closed, scraping at it with his claws with growls and shouts. Henry didn't even know why the creature was so angry with him specifically.. It was a huge question he had.. He wished it could be answered sometime..

The man's thoughts ended with the sound of metal running across wood. He looked over, seeing the can of soup. "Wh....?"

Another Boris with slight differences compared to Wally had walked into the room, looking at Henry with a concerned look on his face. Henry had slowly gotten up, just to pick up the soup can and just follow this toon off and towards his safehouse.

The orbphew has decided that he absolutely wants to cosplay as gl!ranboo for Halloween and then nebkon

Which means I have got to figure out how to make that damn mask over the next three months

#i might dress as either sneeg or hetch to match #that should be easy enough #but holy shit the mask is going to be difficult #at least i still have some metallic grey spray paint from old projects i can use #orbs thought bubbles #the orbphew #my plan for nebkon now will be to match for a genloss cosplay and then build actual welcome home puppets to walk around with #most notably home and julie but maybe wally and frank if i can make them in time

The neighborhood map changed again! I'm not sure if the black thing (to borrow a Madeline L'Engle term) under Home has grown anymore. Some things I notice are Poppy's house's windows shut, Barnaby's pawprints, vines growing on the roof of Frank's house, and lots of sidewalk chalk doodles presumably from Julie (and maybe Wally drew Frank's face?).

I've noticed subtle changes to the neighborhood in previous updates too, but with more continuing to happen, as well as content we've gotten this Halloween update, I have a feeling these neighborhood changes are more... current than we might have previously thought.

This is a bit of a long shot, but I think everyone in Welcome Home is active, at least somewhat. Some characters are more aware than others. Maybe they're "waking up"; we've had two puppets, Wally through his doodles and Sally through the Halloween record, speak directly to us now.

In the secret bug audio, found on the transcript page for the Halloween record, the puppets mention that the spooky storytelling went well, as if it's a direct follow-up to the Halloween record. It's a discrepancy, sure, but perhaps not an unfounded one. Maybe the neighborhood's stuck in some sort of limbo between the present and the past, and only now, with the WHRP, Q/A, and us discovering it, is it literally reviving in front of our eyes.

correct me if i'm wrong, but uh - weren't all of those map details present from before the halloween update? i'm looking at these screenshots and my older captures of the map to compare, but i can't find any differences. i'm pretty sure the map's the same, aside from julie and frank's character cards changing to make it more explicit that they were intended as a couple in-universe (haha, knowing what we know, that's not worrying at all. /s)

anyways, to get to the Meat of this ask: i don't sally was speaking to us in the storybook record, just the neighbors As A Group, but i definitely think this update makes it a Lot more likely that home (the town) kind of exists, like, Outside of linear time? that it isn't so much that there's a divide between the stuff that was produced Then and what we see in the present day so much as it is that the stuff that the WHRP is uncovering is like, a window into what's going on in home Right Now, whether they realize it or not (and something may be actively blocking them from realizing??? not sure if it's that or if it's simply willful ignorance; i suppose we'll see.)

i'm reminded of a couple posts i made a little while ago, about the possibility that welcome home as a proper show never Actually existed, and the stuff that the WHRP's digging up is welcome home's attempts to will itself into reality anyway, for lack of a better description. but it also suffers from being tethered to a single person/group of people's Vision of it instead of being allowed to be an ever-evolving thing, or only being allowed to evolve in a Specific way. i dunno. i just kept thinking about that the entire time i was reading through this update.

anyways i'm also thinking about the way wally's eye-eating ability was represented in that post-storybook tape. i kind of like that it seems to be almost Overwhelming for him, like he hasn't gotten much of an opportunity to try it out before (if he's gotten any opportunity) and is like "oh. Oh. Oh. I Get It Now. holy shit." i don't have much to add onto that and that's just how i see it as of the time of this writing, but i would feel foolish if i didn't make note of it for later.

Red Eyes Frank

I LOVE THEIR DESIGN SM HOLY SHIT BRO.

they have one of those wing capes (gifted to them by Wally when they joined)

Frank was the 4th one to 'join' the cult. They are also still canonily married to Eddie.. sorta.

Fun fact: everyone in the AU has something gifted by Wally for them to wear. You know it's from Wally if it has an eye/eyes on it. They have a purpose more than just for show...

TW: Scopophobia, blood, implied organs, horror

@3amclothesmonsterwilliam here u go

A breakdown of the "lost" transcript

I posted the transcript of the so called "lost transcript" from the new welcome home update. I now share with you the ramblings I spewed out regarding this haunting tale.

I'm considering making a youtube video about this. Share your thoughts if this sounds interesting to you.

The actual transcript is separated from my thoughts by bullet points. I'm coming back to flesh these out at a later date, promise 😊.

The Breakdown

Have you ever wondered why it is that we stay indoors every night?

The show ends at the end of the day

It is because this town is rumored to have visitors at night.

Who makes up these rumors? The directors? The writers? Is it an underlying story to scare irl kids?

Something deep within the forest, far beyond the hills and mountains.

Obviously beyond the reaches of the mind of a child watching the show, and therefore the characters within.

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 they’re searching for.

Suddenly meta, is this thing another neighbor?

(auditory glitches, “searching for,searching for, searching for, searching for, searching for”)

It is looking for neighbors who have stayed up past the daytime to gobble them up whole.

Children’s bedtime story (monster under the bed vibes)

That is why so few live here.

Obviously the ocs we have are not canon, but perhaps the neighborhood was much larger before, and the cast of characters we have now are the only neighbors that knew to stay out of things that didn’t concern them.

It moves through the streets at night, but it doesn’t break into homes.

This thing is extremely patient

However, on rare instances, it will find itself with an appetite left unsatisfied by it’s aimless wandering. Even the occasional unfortunate insect that has crossed it’s path is not enough.

It’s docile to a point

Those who live through the night say that it isn’t quiet about it either. They always say you can hear when it gets closer to you.

Okay, definitely giving off scary children’s “Moral Of The Story” tale. A warning?

Do you know what sound it makes?

Again, very meta. The story is no longer to everyone, IT’S FOR YOU!

I hear it every night. You can hear it too, if you listen. Especially if you wait next to your window.

Sally hears it every night? How scary, she must be so brave- wait, instructions for how to hear the beast? THE BEAST? THE DEVIL? WALLY AND RELIGIOUS SYMBOLISM?? SALLY REPRESENTING LUCIFER, GOD’S RIGHT HAND MAN UNTIL “THE BRIGHTEST STAR FELL FROM THE SKY??? Sally certainly wants to be on Wally’s good side.

Holy Shit™, S ALLY and W ALLY??

I’m actually an idiot. The above line had me reeling when I first heard it.

First, there’s a rustling from the bushes. Then, a scratching on the pavement, and the walls, as it crawls up.

This is absolutely not an average felt covered, puppeteered, soft marionette. This is a visceral, cruel, and cunning creature. The idea that a fleshy, hungry, and evil creation is in the same area of a colorful, bright, and happy show is horrifying, just as the dark spiral behind Home was horrendous when first discovered.

Finally, if you're quiet, you can hear it’s guttural sound.

Again.

Shitting my pants.

Much like Eddie’s reactions to Julie, Frank, and Sally’s stories

On the Bendy books not being canon: this might be a good thing??? Because at least Adrienne Kress can keep doing what she’s doing without having to work around BATDR. With the ink clone concept (is everybody an ink clone? What actually did happen?) and Joey’s intentions for the cycle (from making living cartoons to torturing ink Henry?), it feels…unclear what is canon anymore. I mean BATIM is stated to be cannon but in what regards? The cycle happens but what about the audio logs? Are we even sure of who died and how anymore? There’s just a lot of things left open enough for the meatley to softly retcon things while not technically contradicting BATIM. And while BATIM is vague enough to fit BATDR’s changes…what about the books? What are we supposed to make of Joey “murders teens” Drew from the books being the same Joey in BATDR who’s being painted in a goodish light at the end of BATDR and in the archives? Hell, Tom’s characterization in BATIM has already been pointed out as inconsistent with the books.

It just strikes me that the meatley always told stories installment to installment, throwing out a flashy twist and vague storytelling. And this is coming from someone who likes BATDR. While Adrienne Kress, as a novelist, has to tell a complete and satisfying story within each book. And like you mentioned, a lot of what she gave us in those books were what people loved about the characters. At least those versions of those characters get to be preserved in someway?

I'll try to address as much of this as possible lol!

I have a lot of thoughts about this ask, and there are some points where I flat out disagree, but I do see where you're coming from! I do agree that the books not being canon leaves things more open-ended, which is a strength in some aspects and a weakness in others.

"...at least Adrienne Kress can keep doing what she’s doing without having to work around BATDR."

I agree in the sense that BATDR is messy. I don't think she had much trouble working around it, though? I mean, we see Wilson in Fade to Black, so I don't think she's afraid of bringing up BATDR.

"(is everybody an ink clone? What actually did happen?)"

Henry at the very least is an ink clone, expressly made for the purpose of Joey having a Henry-shaped stress ball to kill at his convenience (as stated in BATDR.)

If we look at the novels and games, there are three main ways to end up in Cartoon Hell: First, just be created there, like Ink Henry. Second, you can basically be teleported in via the Gent glasses, as shown in Fade to Black. Thirdly, you can just Die In Ink, like Audrey in BATDR. These technically don't contradict each other, but holy hell that's a lot of ways to end up on the wrong side of a Gent Pipe.

"Are we even sure of who died and how anymore?"

Yes, for the most part. We have letters from Allison (who also mentions Thomas), and Wally Franks. We also have confirmation that Henry left to go live with his wife. And we see Joey himself at the end of BATIM.

As for the rest of the cast, we have to think of Henry's Cycle as an imperfect reflection of real events.

The audio logs in particular do line up with things that really happened, and usually we can rely on them. Take Shawn, for example. In BATDR he mentions that he's leaving the studio. Notice that there's no coffin in BATIM with his name on it. In BATIM, Susie mentions that Joey has a proposition for her. Notice that she does have a coffin, and the outcome of her inferred death is...well, Alice Angel. (The details of how she and Sammy ended up in Cartoon Hell are a little fuzzy, but that's a whole other discussion entirely.)

"What are we supposed to make of Joey “murders teens” Drew from the books being the same Joey in BATDR who’s being painted in a goodish light at the end of BATDR and in the archives?"

Oh boy. If you want my opinion, BATDR really shits all over Joey Drew's victims, regardless of his kill count in the books.

Let's pretend the books don't exist for a minute. Joey still manipulated a woman with the end goal of getting her killed for his own selfish gain. He almost worked his best friend and business partner to death and kept him from seeing his wife for days on end. His accountant died in a horrible and unspecified manner on studio premises. Norman, Bertrum, and Lacie all died as a result of working at JDS as well. Not only did Joey kill real people, but he made an artificial world in which basically all creatures suffer. Don't even get me started on the Lost Ones in Chapter 4 (which include children, by the way.)

It's also confirmed by Grant in BATDR that Gent was "pouring in some funds", and while you could argue it's just for research without killing anyone...they still made the Ink Demon. Nobody's gonna sit here and tell me that A. the Ink Demon never escaped, and B. His kill count was 0. No way.

I get really sussed out at BATDR saying "Well, Joey kind of raised a kid so he's paid his just desserts!" In short, that's not a Bendy book issue, it's a BATDR issue.

"...a lot of what she (Adrienne) gave us in those books were what people loved about the characters."

I'm not gonna lie...I really wish she was a writer for the actual games. Lol.

#I hope this all makes sense I tried to keep it short #I like getting a chance to talk things out with other Bendy fans it puts my nerd knowledge to use in a productive way #at the end of the day M+M decide what's canon but I can still be an old person yelling from my porch about it #bendy and the ink machine #batim #bendy books #bendy and the dark revival #dreams come to life #the lost ones #fade to black #joey drew #henry stein #adrienne kress #answered asks #wake-up-puppet-boy

Hey uh...idk if requests are closed but if not

Y\N just moved to neighborhood it's great it's grand everyone loves them yadda yadda

Here's the thing Y\N swears like a sailor....the puppets unfortunately picked up on it happily screaming the colorful words their new neighbor taught them

Y\Ns only thought right now is ".....oh no.."

THEY TAUGHT THE PUPPETS HOW TO SAY FUCK AND THEY CAN'T GET THEM TO STOP

WELCOME HOME NEED TO BE STOPPED !!!

summary: you move into the neighbourhood and bring some trouble with you

warnings: swearing (ofc lol)

a/n: just thinking about that tik tok audio where wally falls down the stairs. if you know, you know

master post

🍌 you’ve always had very colourful language and you can imagine the neighbourhood’s reactions when you first said the word “fuck” in front of them.

🍌 poppy always covers sally’s ears whenever you start wearing around her.

🍌 when julie asked what some swear words meant, and you explained it to her, she kept giggling. you explained to her to try an use them in a better context than just running up to frank and yelling “shit!” in his face.

🍌 wally once fell out a tree you were both sat in and swore like his life depended on it once he hit the ground. you had explained that swearing was a natural pain reliever and he took it very seriously.

🍌 “shit! fuck! bastard! ow!”

🍌 you were most definitely a contributing factor to the show being taken off the air /hj

🍌 frank is always reminding you that the more a person swears, the less vast their vocabulary is.

🍌 “that’s ridiculous. swearing does not mean i’m a fucking idiot.“

🍌 poor howdy suffers whenever you decide to rant to him. he sometimes considers washing your mouth out with soap to teach you a lesson-

🍌 barnaby has taken to using curse words in his comedy routines which A. does make some parts more funny, and B. worries you because it made you realise you’re a bad influence on these guys.

🍌 eddie was the last person you expected to start swearing so you can imagine the look of absolute horror on everyone’s faces when he said “holy shit” for the first time.

this made me giggle a lil bit so thank you for requesting ! i’ll get around to writing any other request you guys have given me when i have the time. i’m heading back to work on tuesday T-T

everybody stay with me im shifting back into speculation & analyzing mode, this time about everybody's favorite pair of besties. ill put this under the cut for everyone's sakes

and please, take all of this with a Hefty grain of salt.

so ive been... thinking about a thing. a maybe-possibility. which if this has some merit, the part of me that loves characters having a good time and feeling good feels is screaming in fear. but the louder part of me that loves angst and hurting characters is rubbing its little fly hands together.

short version: i think Barnaby is going to emotionally distance from Wally, if not outright grow to resent him. maybe temporarily, maybe not.

full version: *cracks knuckles* strap in folks. so.

first of all, an entire chunk of Barnaby's bio is dedicated to his character relation to Wally. everyone else only has one-off lines dedicated to their relationships to other neighbors - even Frank & Julie just have single sentences about each other (note that they're described as "partnered with" and "depicted with" respectively. more on that soon). even Wally's bio has his Barnaby mention tacked onto the end of his first paragraph instead of being its own dedicated section

and then there's their character designs - their bios explicitly point out that they share characteristics; color schemes, hearts on their soles, similar outfits.

they were made to be best friends. literally. this quote is what made me start turning this theory over in my mind (sourced from @ /theneighborhoodwatch's collected & absolutely fascinating livestream trivia)

it appears that Barnaby literally did not have a say in whether or not he and Wally are friends. their bios even say "illustrated pages note that they were best friends multiple times." they have to be best friends.

which brings us back to Frank & Julie. they briefly reference each other in their bios, but they aren't described as best friends. it's incredibly likely that they were meant to be a romantic couple - i briefly covered that theory in this post (dont read the first one i was going insane) but they managed to avoid that. Frank and Julie defied the script and chose to be best friends instead.

and then in the trivia document a few more character relationships are briefly touched on, like how Howdy considers Barnaby a close friend, and Sally considers either Barnaby or Poppy as her closest friend, etc.

everyone else seems to be choosing who they're close with. they're forming their own opinions and dynamics and relationships. & its interesting that Barnaby is stated for both of these - as if implying that he may return the friendship feelings, or at the very least he's developed enough of a relationship with them to earn their affection

Barnaby and Wally... i doubt they ever got that. they were best friends from the start, no development, no choice. it's written into them.

and then there's how their relationship has been portrayed so far. i believe i saw an ask where Clown stated that Barnaby is very polite to Wally, which struck me as odd. have you ever had a polite relationship to your best friend? have you ever seen best friends be polite? i'd be surprised!

best friends mess with each other! they tease and rib and roast! what is a best friend for if not mutual tomfuckery?! jesting around? playfully pushing boundaries? a Polite best friendship... that's a straight up oxymoron. no such thing. that sounds boring and exhausting.

not only that, but the fact that Barnaby is often used for Wally's painting segments, and is the go-to guy for teaching Wally something new, is kind of concerning. it gives me the vibe that a big part of Barnaby's literal reason for existing is to be Wally's friend & guide.

which would make the fact of him being described as polite to Wally make sense. of course he's not going to push their relationship or try to deepen it - he's forming his own dynamics with the other neighbors. with Wally... it's already established. that is how they are with each other. that is what they are to each other.

and it's not like Wally can be the one to introduce nuances. i don't mean that as a slight or anything - he's just the way he's been described and the things stated about him that make me think that he wouldn't really... know how to? it just wouldn't occur to him. he probably thinks his and Barnaby's relationship is what a best friendship is and is how it should be.

but they have to hang out. they have to refer to each other as best friends. and while i believe that Wally does wholeheartedly think that they're best friends, close as can be... i doubt Barnaby feels the same. like - yes, he probably does care about Wally. everybody likes Wally.

but it's gotta be frustrating for Barnaby, especially as time goes on and he becomes more himself as a person over just being a character playing a part. it probably stunts his relationship growth with others, since his ~best friend spot~ is already taken and who would want to encroach on that? especially since its taken by Wally mcfuckin Darling?

their friendship might become less of a role and more of a responsibility. Barnaby might grow to feel obligated to stick with Wally as his "best friend". someone invites Barnaby to hang out and/or help with something? sorry, he has to pose for Wally's painting. Barnaby is trying to do his own thing? sorry, Wally is knocking on the door and asking for help with something.

i wonder if Barnaby ever hopes that Wally will go to someone else, or feels relief when he does. and then does he feel irritation/guilt over that denied hope or that granted relief? then does he get angry at himself for those emotions?

how would this effect how he treats Wally and acts around him? this confusing muddle of emotions and this strange growing resentment for his painfully earnest friend who only ever means well, if he means at all.

it makes me curious whether or not this theory has merit. and how this could come to a head. what would Barnaby, in this situation, do if/when he discovers that they're puppets on a set, and he's literally written to be Wally's bestie while everyone else changed their scripts and chose their own relationships.

personally, i don't think he'd be happy, and i doubt he'd handle it well.

#holy Shit this was tough to translate from my brain #i literally wrote it all out in my head while in the shower #and then i went to get it down on 'paper' and it was Tangled To Hell And Back #*taking a break from art*#brain: soooooo we're bored now. lets overthink and share these thinkings #welcome home theory #welcome home speculation #SERIOUSLY THOUGH IM SCARED FOR BARNABY AND WALLY #mainly for wally bc Ouch it would hurt him to have their relationship sour #barnaby getting resentful and wally not understanding why his best friend is acting differently towards him #and PLEASE keep in mind that im mostly talking outta my ass here #but like.... ugh #barnaby looking at wally walking over one day and feeling the urge to turn away or groan in irritation/exasperation #him posing for a painting and wishing he were anywhere else.#him wanting to be closer with other puppets but unable to bring himself to try bc of the Guilt #everywhere he turns hes called 'wallys best friend' and asked 'wheres wally? hes usually with you' when hes alone #and hearing 'if you want to find wally/barnaby go look for barnaby/wally. if you see one the other isnt far away'#that has GOT to get on his nerves over time #this constant stagnation of their relationship while everyone else is evolving and growing. hes Stuck.#even julie & frank who were written to be together find a way to circumvent that and add so much depth and uniqueness to their relationship #if you want a happy side of this. it could lead to barnaby & wally being really truly besties #barnaby could have an arc about thinking 'holy shit it was all fabricated. Fuck that and Fuck you[wally]'#and then going 'holy shit i Do actually love and care about him[wally] and i want us to develop a real meaningful friendship'#BUT WHO KNOWS who knows not me!#also it must be tiring to constantly have to explain his jokes and so many other things #bc wally Is a curious guy! he wants to learn!#but maybe barnaby just wants to have an uninterrupted conversation but he Cant bc wallys just built different #not said as a bad thing At All.#just... people are complicated. sometimes we have mean thoughts/emotions that conflict with what we really think/feel and our morals #we're only human. everyone is mean sometimes if only in our heads.& yeah theyre technically Puppets but lets not get caught up on semantics

still workin' on loving myself more, but I gotta say, if there's anything I truly love right now, it's gotta be my heart

like, yeah, I'm oversensitive

and ykw, that's okay! because having an open heart is unfortunately a double edged sword

but my new rule is that anyone who dares take or break what's left of it gets the hot knife treatment

don't fucking test me mate I have a welding tool and that shit gets HOT (like me teehee)

anyways moral of the story: if you're like me and you're oversensitive in a "holy fuck I can't believe I cried over that I'm such a weakling" kinda way, it's okay. you can cry all you have to, you can get upset, you can have feelings.

cause I can tell you firsthand, there's a lot of people who don't.

and more than that, there's a lot of people that are just like you, and there's a hell of a lot more people that want to be around people like you- sometimes that means ya gotta move on, I had to, and it's hard.

I won't lie, I still get upset, but I'm movin' on to better things and letting the past alone. I'm leavin' those people behind- in the wise words of Wally Franks:

"I'm OUTTA here!"

so just remember, as cringey and as unbelievable as it sounds (and trust me, I KNOW how it sounds), you can take control of your situation. you can find a way. and you can find your home.

#self love #self appreciation #positivity #idk i felt emotional #and i figure i should channel that to help people #positive thoughts #fight off the intrusive thoughts baby!#youve got this!

Gonna post something cringe 👍 I was thinking about all day yesterday and I posted it in the group chat but bwaah I'll put it here too

so here's how I think the Ishimondos would interact with the Welcome Home cast

Firstly, Mondo would fucking love Barnaby so much. He is not immune to big fluffy doggi. And I think he'd jive with his chill, friendly attitude. Taka meanwhile would definitely get caught on the other end of Barnaby's punchlines and he would not appreciate it. He's a very easy target.

Mondo would also like Wally but in more of an "holy shit a little guy, must protect" sorta way. He asks Wally how he does his hair and Wally says it's always like that.

Taka and Frank are autism-to-autism communication. Could listen to each other infodump about politics and bugs respectively for hours. Also, both of them relate to the need for things to be "just so" and trying to maintain that order among the colorful personalities around them. They're so similar that Mondo finds it kinda off-putting.

Poppy and Taka get along great. I think he would help her a lot with cooking while maintaining such proper safety procedures that she's downright impressed and her anxiety is kept to a minimum, which is pretty rare. Does that thing with making star-shaped riceballs but with fuckin. bird seed. he would definitely still eat it too.

Neither of them would like Sally Starlet, I'm afraid. she's way too self-important for both of them to handle. She would definitely call Mondo "biker" as a sign of disrespect like how she calls Eddie "mailman." She actually is interested in Kiyotaka because he's clearly a very skilled orator, so she sees potential in him as a thespian.

Julie would steal Mondo's bike and ride it around the neighborhood for one of her games, giving just about everyone else a heart attack but ESPECIALLY Mondo. Her antics are the only ones that get him yelling like he usually does.

I feel like they'd both get along well with Eddie, Eddie's just a very easy guy to get along with. Kiyotaka would respect his work ethic and be very "Thank you for your service! 🫡" about it, and Eddie finds it a bit odd if endearing. Eddie would almost get hit by the above-mentioned bike tho.

If they went to Howdy's Place you'd bet your ass they wouldn't be able to buy shit. When they find out that the currency is jokes Kiyotaka tries to tell one and he gets fucking. banned for life. this is the "it'd be hard to sleep with a corpse in your bathroom" guy after all. he'd probably say the darkest shit ever that would make his jaded cop dad chuckle but would send this caterpillar puppet into an emotional crisis.

Finally, last but not least is Home himself. Kiyotaka would find a sentient house incredibly fascinating, I think. He'd probably ask Wally a lot of questions about it that Wally doesn't really know how to answer (or he keeps getting cut off by everyone else's antics before he can say it). Mondo meanwhile would find it creepy as fuck.

Welcome Home (Part 5)

ok so bc tumblr has a fucking limit to 30 photos per post i had to make a part 5

continuation under the cut

I AM LOSING MY FUCKING MIND I ACTUALLY GOT THE PASSWORD CORRECT

so i looked at the worksheet and was like 'ok so the answers are Barnaby, Sally, Poppy, Julie and Wally'

and since the code is 5 characters i just took the first letter of their names, in all caps and put it in

AND THEN BAM HERE I AM

idk if this is the only code that works or if there's other codes that lead to different things but i found one of them !!!

its a distorted version of the exhibition page

THERES FUCKING PICTURES HOLY SHIT DUDE

i read the text aloud and lost my mind and now my brother thinks im crazy LMAOAOAOOAO

ok so !! who wrote this the text on the distorted exhibition page AND the actual page full of possible password combinations

also the person's monologue was about hearing a phone ring and ring but being unable to answer it

then the upside down blacked-out text feels like its Wally just because it's like 'ring ring hello can you hear me call back soon'

and whoever the haunted-by-phone-ringing person is said that they had a dream of Wally holding a phone and calling them

time to look at the pictures

the photos are of a... messed-up version of the exhibition? pretty sure its the exhibition

maybe the person is the Question-Answerer

i think this picture and some of the other ones are behind the 'staff only' curtain that you can see here

oh yeah it definitely is you can see the black ink on the wall behind the cover of the other side !!

that black spiral thing, like from underneath Home in The Neighborhood page

oh my god

yeah ok so definitely i think the person who was looking for the password was the Question-Answerer or one of their staff

also the '~ Wally Darling' thats underneath the response email ???? oh holy shit dude

well the sticky note explains why the video of someone using the telephone in the exhibition was wearing a glove

oh hey its that one drawing of Frank

alright so the sticky note,,, i think it says "This art was NOT in the shipment PLEASE stop using the work printer to prank me" maybe ??? probably something like that at least

this is so cool

also you can see a paint roller so someone from the staff there, probably the person who said they 'tore up the workspace' when looking for a ringing phone (Question-Answerer?)

also the blacklight stuff is interesting

whatever was in the safe was supposed to be the prize for getting the worksheet answers correct so,,, maybe when u got it correct they brought u in here like 'hey sorry cant give u the prize rn cuz its in a safe lol here' or smth ?!?!??!

oh yeah i think thats a blacklight on the table too

also !! i noticed a toy telephone but it looks like it attaches to those square toys from my childhood ?!??!

like these things but they were square

also on the right wall on the back of the picture is a printed picture of that drawing of Wally sitting on a really high chair

and there's a tv and a book!! its cover is like that one that Clown Illustrations used in their announcement of the site coming back up !!!

so fascinating

ah thats why they have a blacklight

there's a link at the bottom of the email

i know its not a virus bc i dont think Clown or anyone who worked on this would do that but i am afraid to open it

gonna do it anyways

ok the link isnt loading for me LOL so nevermind that i guess

so the written stuff u can see on here is VERY interesting

maybe it wasnt the Question-Answerer spiraling to get the safe code but THIS is the Question-Answerer wondering what the fuck is going on

they seem to have a thing about thinking people are pranking them

there's also some hidden faded text that i can just barely see you could probably see it with a blacklight in real life but i think you might have to edit this photo to see it

unfortunately i dont have the tools to do that LOL so well. i'll just see if someone else has i guess

the style of pages between the 'password please' one and the 'am i being pranked by everyone' is different

and there's TWO notebooks

the one sent by the WHRP team and the Question-Answerer's notebook

so i think the page that didnt have lines (password please) belongs to the red notebook?

ok nevermind i was wrong

that open notebook makes me think its of the red notebook so then

ok THIS is definitely from the red notebook so actually maybe the other open page one was from the brown notebook???

i can barely read the text on the letter lol

i really wish i could have gone to this exhibit and seen all this in person for myself <//3

i wonder if it was even possible for guests to access this area tho lol

handprints on the wall

its the safe!! and that one drawing of Wally !!!

oh you can see the square pyramid telephone from closer here

also that script at the side is the same script from that one secret link

also a tv !! i wonder what we'll see on it if it will ever be fixed

so fascinating

these are printed emails, so who's putting that text in the blacklight?

ah!!! its clickable !! the 'it's in here' !!

leads to this

how odd

OH STARS

audio with a tab titled 'soon'

its audio of Wally saying 'let me in' how fascinating

im so excited to get all these audios and work out the order cuz i know its gonna be fucking crazy

unfortunately thats gonna be all because i have to sleep now !! but im sure i'll finish going through the website tomorrow for sure !! goodnight

#welcome home
