I Know youâve talked about the Day/Night dichotomy as a possible future themeâdo you think it might also tie into the existential terror of being both a puppet (object) and a character (person)?
Like their days (episodes) are spent in town and interacting living and their nights are spent âasleepâ non-sentient. And theyâve just had a very very long (50 years) night.
Maybe the restoration project is an attempt to save them from that?
(Also thinking about the recurring âI donât see youâ from Wally who knows about the audience but Tv is a one way format so he doesnât see or hear you)
it could be! or perhaps through the website, wally has found a suitable replacement for daytime? the guestbook doodles do imply he regularly speaks to the other neighbors, somehow. still, a replacement is just that - a replacement. this new arrangement, whatever it is, doesn't seem to be very stable. there's no way to go back to that unknowing.
the presence of Us as the tenth neighbor is also very fascinating to me; something about the idea of a being who is a constant presence in someone's daily life that they never really process as anything out of the ordinary, even when their eyes refuse to see them at all. Until,
