1. ﹕ About the AU
ㅤㅤㅤafter waking up one seemingly normal morning, Wally soon discovers that the bad feeling he'd been having for the past few days was very much true when he steps out of his house, realizing it had been overtaken by a parasite of unknown origin, which is slowly spreading to its surroundings — the neighborhood.
ㅤㅤㅤclearly now without a home it moves in with Barnaby, all his belongings now lost to the parasite. suffering of constant nightmares of the future that awaits them, pup becomes a shell of what he once was, his hair now a messy ponytail rather than his usual well cared for pompadour.
ㅤㅤㅤthey can't ignore the problem forever, the parasite only growing stronger and bigger with each passing day. the house below it now barely visible anymore, aside from its front door; almost completely untouched, almost tempting to go through. the eyes all over it seemed to multiply overnight, now covering most of its surfaces just so they can watch their every move.
ㅤㅤㅤthey had to get rid of it, and someone had a plan... but maybe it won't go as smoothly as they planned; the parasite won't go down without taking another with it.
ㅤㅤㅤheart broken by the loss of a friend, they all grieve and mourn together, trying to support each other as best as they can. Wally was just a kid, after all, so the loss struck him hardest of all, now further isolating and blaming itself for all that happened.
ㅤㅤㅤbut that's not the end, is it...?

EDIT: this was supposed to be the original ask I was replying to. I'm not sure why Tumblr decided to swap it w another one?? sorry about that! I'll properly answer the one above another day, sorry again.
Hello, not really a ask but something for [Infrcted!] Wally: I've heard of what you're going through right now so I made you a gift. It's not much but I hope you like it and I hope it helps, even if it's just a little bit. *gives him a cute crocheted plush doll*
he appreciates all your gifts! :) soon enough he'll be swimming in plushies, apples, and cookies at this rate...
Hellooooo! New follower here, your AU is so good!! First of all, sorry if there's anything wrong, English is not my first language <3
I want to ask something before interacting further, I don't know if the answer is obvious... just want to be sure- You don't need to answer if you don't want to.
About your boundaries, can we do OC x canon with the other neighbors? The adult ones, specifically. And of course, respecting the others! Like the one that doesn't allow any sexual interaction.
oc x canon is completely ok with the other neighbors! :D as long as you're not weird w it, its all alr! :)
sorry for the lack of posts recently! I promise I will reply to most of the asks, it'll just take a bit before I'm able to focus on them, as I'm currently working on a few school projects for school! <:) sorry again!
Here’s some little drawings I promise (kinda doodles) for @infectedhome once! Hope u enjoy the silly little guy I’ll just pick him up and put him in my shelf but I’m sure he will be wanted to get down-
anyway bonus doodle!:
(One day....one day I’ll be able to draw horror..waaa)
Mono live with her guardian, Batrex in a normal neighborhood but they didnt know that home became infected.
One day, Batrex hide in his bedroom and told her not to come in which it didn't sound normal.
She thought he just getting dress or something but 39 minutes later,She hear something in a bedroom that didn't seem to be normal.
Mono walk to the door but notice it's Crack open, she push the door carefully until she saw batrex becoming infected
Mono was shocked by this and ran out of the house. But instead of infected batrex chasing her, he ran to the woods and she never saw her guardian ever again.
If Innie is 8-10 how old is everyone else in the AU? I know previously that Barnaby was like pup’s father figure pre-mansion and Julie and Frank gave Innie their clothes after he lost them all but is that still canon to the story?
all that is still canon to this AU's story, yes! Barnaby is in his early 20s, Howdy and Poppy in their 30s, Frank and Eddie in their early 20s, and Julie and Sally are in their late teens :)
can bugs be infected? and can they fly around still after being infected and infect other things?
I've answered this before, but yes, they can! you wouldn't usually see it, though, since it'd be a waste of resources for the parasite because of the small scale of the bug. it wouldn't last long, either, as the parasite would consume it pretty quickly.
usually, bugs that wonder too close to it just end up getting absorbed as nutrients, instead of getting infected. :)
