Okay, can we talk about how smart Wally is. He just continues to amaze me.
He was silenced by the restoration team, so he decided to use floriography code to communicate with us instead which brought us to all those hidden websites. He has witnessed Julie talking to the flowers and inquired her about it, was inspired, and decided to create code by talking to us with it.
And even aside from that, he's been editing the website even though he's from another era, and he's been giving us hidden links. He also knows Morse code (he speaks in Morse code with home)
Like previously, some people got on him about having a slow speech, not understanding basic things, etc just because he has autism and can't help it but what about THIS? THIS??? Mind you, this IS someone who at first didn't know what was going on but quickly adapted to technology, code, and hidden languages all in a short span of time, even when he was overwhelmed about it 2 years ago.
In fact, it goes so deep that he's appearing in DREAMS and unconsciously making the effects in his world come to ours (to our detriment, but it wasn't purposeful)
Can we continue giving Wally credit where credit is due? Please. I don't care if he doesn't know what 25 x 25 is, this man knows much more complicated things which is quite paradoxical, but that's OKAY. GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS.
Hey now, I’ve done some digging around, and thankfully to others I managed to find the hidden links
But am I the only one who can’t see the videos? It’s strange because I’m reloading them, and I’m for sure I’m doing it right and all but they just won’t cooperate with me
We are also so Happy to announce we are working in partnership with Juniper to bring you all new Welcome Home merch!

Hey there.
I'm Synth, or Harper, I'm an Oregon based Voice Actor who… Synth Charm needs your support for Help Harper aka Synth Escape a t
I and my family are facing a crisis I never saw coming. My father has turned his back on us, and I'm terrified of what's next. I still need to escape this situation. Please, if you can, share or donate. Every bit helps even just a dollar, if enough people see, it adds up.
I hope you can forgive me the near spam posting... but this stuff usually only succeeds if you're persistant about it, and whilte I look for every possible way to do it on my own, I really have to reach out to the community.
Thanks to you all we got 6 percent of the goal
In 2 days, that's wild... from the bottom of my heart this means so much. but I really hope we can get out of this awful position we were so suddenly put in. 10k and 20k are gonna be a big help if we hopefully reach that far, but I know 30k will make it so we can actually leave this awful situation safe and sound without massive sacrifices. we've got pets we care for deeply, they're family, and he doesn't even consider that... this man has never cared for us though he claims otherwise, and now threatens us with pulling the one supportive thing he agreed to supply from under us at a pivitol moment in all our lives.
I'm sad, angery, depressed, and oh so very tired...
I'm sorry for the ramble, but I have been unable to sleep the past few nights because of the anxiety this has caused within me.
I want to thank you all again for sharing, for donating, even just the well wishes helps a lot. you have all been wonderful, and I can't thank you enough.
This has eased at least some of the immediate fear, but we're still a long way off from safety.
Again, the support has been out of this world! It's genuinely made me feel cared about, and supported, Thank you to my friends, to wonderful strangers, kind people from all over.
I can't express again, how much this has helped solidify some bit of safety during all of this. if I reach 10k I can make sure I have a solid base to actually reach out and get some more concrete info on places to move to, roommate situations and the like. every bit helps!
Thank you for your continued support during all the stress, I really hope to be able to make more stuff even as this all goes on. and hopefully make all of this worth it.
Yeah! Surely if the word is spread about enough we could reach that Milestone! If you’re reading this please try to help out in any ways you can! Any support is appreciated!
Okay. Besides the hilarity them deciding to Cask of Amontillado Poppy, there is something here about these events mirroring both Edgar Allen Poe stories.
TLDR: Just like Eddie, Poppy gains a sense of self and sees beyond the reality of the neighbourhood. The actions of the neighbour coincide with both of Poe's stories down to the theme of death, guilt and fear.
yes this is me rambling again while trying to connect my thoughts- don't judge me!
Sally is putting on the TellTale Heart, a story about a man who hates his roommate, an older man, cause of his blind eye and devises a plan to kill him. On the eighth day, he finally decides to kill him and then hides crime under the floorboards of his house. The police come and he starts to hear the beating of his dead roommate's heart and think the police are fucking with him by pretending they can't hear it. Overcome with guilt and fear, he confesses to his crime.
By the way that Julie talks about an alarm clock, it's obvious to see this is a more tame version of that story.
On the other hand we have the Cask of Amontillado, in which the Main Charcater tricks his friend into think he has a cask of amontillado (alcohol) and lures him to the cellar. This is during carnival season and the friend is SO DRUNK that he doesn't even notice that he's been chained to the wall and is being sealed behind a brick wall until that wall is about halfway done. Overcome with grief the friend stops talking after a while and is quietly sealed behind the wall where he stays for 50 years.
I'm bringing this up because I truly believe that what Poppy experiences in the cut version of the story on the secret website is exactly what Eddie experienced during the Christmas special. Nothing new, people have come to that conclusion already, yada yada- I actually really like @killertoons theory on this
Here's the thing that gets me. I think Home had a lot to do with this. I've gone on at length on Home's influence on the neighbours but there's something about the way the stories are presented that get to me. Like Sally is put in the place of the main character of the Cask of Amontillado and Poppy the victim but I don't think that applies for Telltale Heart. For one, in the play Poppy would have played the old man and Julie the main character with Eddie (and presumably Frank) as the constables. Sally doesn't play a direct role in this story.
Home however does.
Funny thing about Edgar Allen Poe stories, most of the time the Main Characters don't tell the reader why they are doing the things they do. In both stories, both of the MC's assure the reader they are justified in their actions and have no guilt or shame in their actions. In fact their actions are premeditated. I believe Home is the perpetrator in this case. At the very beginning of "Brick by Brick" we see that Home wants to participate but can't because of Poppy and only when Poppy is out of the play does Home takes over. The story goes off without a hitch until we cut back to Poppy who is hearing scratching and thumping on the walls. While I don't think this is Home, cause he's at the play, I do think this happened because of him. Like Eddie this is Poppy becoming aware of herself and the world. Seeing beyond the fourth wall, possibly hearing the staff and crew move around. She's frozen in fear, she can't move to open the door. But then (who I think is Sally) and Frank come along to open the door and ask Poppy why she couldn't do the same. She even asks "Am I out?" and "Where am I?".
Is it petty to believe Home would do this just so he could be in the play? Yeah. But I don't put it past him considering this could be another control tactic. A way to scare the neighbours into behaving. This goes into a mini theory of mine, that Home was not content with the silent observer role it played and wanted more which lead to it overrunning the actual humans in charge of the show, set, puppets, etc. Maybe even injuring one of them which lead to the show being shut down or even investigated.
I would also be remise to not point out that two of the themes of Poe's works above are "death" and "guilt". The MC of TellTale heart does feel guilty for killing the man even if he thought it was justified like how Sally feels guilty for not knowing just how scared Poppy is. The MC of Amontillado though sits though all five stages of grief his friend is going though and doesn't get upset until before he slides the last brick in because at that point, the friend stops talking. I can't 100% match that part up but I thought it's something to add.
Honestly though, this happening in a book and not in a show or special could be a look inside on how WE perceive things. "Brick by Brick" doesn't seem to be an episode turned book, kinda like what Sesame Street used to do. Meaning that any and all recorded happening in the neighbourhood actually does happen to the neighbours (I had my suspicions on this since the Howdy's family Hullabaloo thingy). Finally the last two images we get are haunting to say the least.
God I haven't even mentioned the missing texts or the black ink spots...
Hello everyone, today took quite the turn for me today.
You see. Under the circumstances I’m in I had to keep my Welcome Home merchandise in my cousins place for safe keepings, but because of some fireworks during the 4th of July the place burned down alone with all my stuff, so my Wally, Barnaby and enamel pins even my Home was burnt to a crisp.
I was devastated and even cried a little but I’m glad no one was hurt, luckily that Wally 2.0 is coming out later tomorrow.
Daily reminder to be responsible with your fireworks!!!
