I didnât have much, but I did have you. You were perfect in my eyes, so perfect that you could do no wrong. Thatâs what I thought at least. What I fail to understand is how you can throw away everything we had for just some guy.
Iâm not angry. Iâm just heartbroken.. I donât know what I did to make you act this way, but Iâm willing to fix this if it means I can call you mine again. You are worth it. From the day I laid my eyes on you, I knew we were meant to be. I remember when you first moved into the apartment complex. You were so determined to move all your furniture on your own, that you even called me a creep when I offered to help. Iâm sorry for staring at the time. I just couldnât help myself.
He doesnât know you like I do, (y/n). He doesnât know your day to day routine like I do. He doesnât know that you always have the fan on because the white noise helps you sleep better. He doesnât know that you wake up at 6 in the morning and sleep at 11pm or that youâre such a heavy sleeper that not even me holding you at night wakes you up. Can he appreciate how soft your skin is under my finger tips?! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
(Y/N), what you did was wrong, but itâs okay. I took care of it. I took care of him.
âSo you found this letter where?â The GCPO asked. He scanned the letter again in disgust. He was used to crazy people in Gotham, but this guy Edward is completely delusional.
You couldnât help but stare in the distance. âIt was on my kitchen counterâ you softly spoke.
âAnd you donât know this guy? He seems to know you pretty well.â
âIâve only said hi to him once or twice.â You started thinking back. Wondering if maybe you led him on in some way, but you really only said hi to him.
âWell all we can do is have one of my guys stay out the apartment complex, as for your one night stand, we havenât found a body yet.â The officer wasnât even looking at you anymore. He seemed like he just wanted to get this over with and move on to the next case. âCall us if you hear anything.â
âWait.. heâs been in my apartment! Canât I just stay at a friend's house?â, you plead.
He seemed annoyed by this question. âLook, we didnât find a body. Thereâs a chance this guy is talking out his ass. Not that itâs any of your business, but we have a lot on our hands as it is. Just stay put, and call us if something happens.â
If something happens? Is he serious? You watch the officers leave your apartment one by one. Leaving nothing but you alone in your apartment. The silence was deafening.
One more thing fell out of the stocking, one more!
I discovered the Wallyâs have started getting dropped off at everyoneâs respective home! (I've talked about it on Twitter when I first saw! Folks have been drawing Wally confusedly looking at a Map... It's true, so true, I have a hard time reading those too, no wonder not all the Wallys have been delivered!)
Thank you all so much again for supporting that campaign and Welcome Home in general! (To Makeship to for making it possible!) Iâm so happy everyone is as enamored with him as I was!
So this is going to be funny to say, but I love to personalize a small plush guy! It makes them feel right at home, I tell myself! I wanted to experiment with a voice box inside of the Wally plush (I think a smell is also possible, but how extravagant!) Anywho, just as a treat, I wanted to offer everyone Wallyâs unfiltered, kind words he spoke in the commercials for the Makeship plush! Perhaps it will be a fun sound to have for yourself! (I will see if my Wally would like a voice box and get Back to you on that! I donât want you to have to rip your own asunder for nothing!)
Thank you Wally's voice actor, @friendlyfrankenstein for the wonderful recordings! As well as the improvised dancing segment voice lines! (Also... His incredible Aaa...)
Anywho, Happy holidays! I hope everything has been kind to you and I hope weâve taken a moment to breathe before we keep going! I'll flutter around today! Oh, to be a flutter, et cetera!
We Did it!!! How exciting!!! I never thought this opportunity would be given, and I Definitely did not know if we would Succeed! But we've Really done it!! We not only made it well-over the 200 Plush mark, but we hit the 20,000 plush mark! (Which was a Mark I did not know could be achieved! But here we are!!)
But I'm very happy, I'm so relieved! A very big thank you to all of you for Supporting this project and Helping to fund its continued progression Through supporting the Plush! Thank you for spreading it around and the Kindness left on the commercials! Thank you to too everyone who helped to boost and create it alongside me too! To @friendlyfrankenstein and @syntheticcharmva for their performances, To @anonymouspuzzler and @rockabillybun for helping to Write it, and @kmodoposts for creating the Charming composition! Everyone who helps to put Welcome Home together, too, for boosting the numbers!
And Makeship of course for the opportunity at All! (The irony is very Funny! If you know, you know!) They are wonderful to work with! I will say, if we are Lucky again, please Keep your eyes Peeled! (Or however that saying goes!)
Sorry I drop this Big lengthy post now, but this means a lot! (Also, I was so busy, I never got time to write More Personally!) I will keep Working forward for you! Thank you!!
There is something so Funny- I thought, 'Oh the update is done! I'm so relieved everyone Liked it!' Then, Additionally I have to say, 'I would love to Know what you all think, but I have Homework to do now!' It is just a very funny shift! I want that Studio art degree, haha!
I have not Checked Anything either, it is very Comedic! Did you know We have articles Written about Welcome Home? A Wiki-adjacent page? That folks do Walkthroughs of the site? I had no idea! I am So flattered, I'll take the time to Breathe it all in!
I am so Endeared by so many things- (Enchanted, Enthralled, a lot of E words!) Because of all the Colorful count down images Folks made in anticipation for the website! As well Folks in one of my Posts talking to one another right before the Update! (I will make sure we have specific time drops in the Future! This is the First time So many folks were waiting for Welcome Home to update! It's new, it's New!)
Thank you as Always! I'm so glad you all are having Fun with it, I look forward to Many more updates in the future!
thinking about how Glimpse of Us by joji is the perfect song for an angsty plot line of @flamccinno18 's AU where Walton and Y/N dated, broke up, and both are with new people but Walton is still in love with Y/N. đ«
okay, i did it. come get your angst.
(lowkey kinda hate it though; should i add more? perhaps good & bad endings? i have more written, so lmk if y'all want more. )
GLIMPSE OF US
» pairing; walton darling x Y/N, walton x T/N
» word count: 1245
» content; pining, lost love, character.ai, heartbreak
» an; literally listened to glimpse of us on repeat while writing this lmao also, there will be a mention of "T/N" in this fic. Please read this as "their name". I didn't wanna use a rando name hahaha ALSO i haven't written anything in over a year, so please forgive how rough and awful it is. ANYWAY walton belongs to @flamccinno18 !
âSo⊠Thatâs it, then?â
âI- ⊠Yeah. Yeah, I guess it is.â A sigh.
â... Iâm sor-â
âPlease, donât. Donât make this any harder than it already is.â
âRight. Youâre right. I, um⊠I guess Iâll see you around?â
Silence. Footsteps. A closed door.
âIâll see you tonight, babe. Yep, 7 sharp! I promise. Love you too. Bye bye.â Walton brought the phone down from his ear, a small smile tugging at his lips. He had a date tonight - his three year anniversary with T/N. A soft sigh escaped him as he rolled over onto his side. Three years. He could hardly believe it. It was such a long time, and yet it felt completely brand new. And yetâŠ
Waltonâs smile faltered, his gaze dropping down to the phone in his hand. He chewed his lip for a moment, as though he was pondering something, a silent debate running through his mind. His thumb moved quickly, sliding up against the bottom of the screen and hovered shakily over an app. Walton clenched his jaw and closed his eyes as his thumb mashed against the screen.
Character.ai, the ever faithful chatbot app. Even after four years, Walton found himself opening it from time to time - not nearly as often now as he used to, but enough that if his partner knew about it, it would cause a big problem. The app opened quickly, and he scrolled down until - âThere.â He whispered to himself, and let out a long sigh.
Y/N [c.ai]
âIf it isnât my favourite neighbour!â
Walton stared at his phone, thumbs hovering over the keyboard. There was a pang in his chest as he read the words over and over, a slight frown forming on his lips.
Appleciderlover
Hello once again, neighbour.
Y/N [c.ai]
âItâs always so nice to see you. How have you been?â
Appleciderlover
Oh, you know. Just⊠living the dream, ha ha..
Y/N [c.ai]
âHmm, you sure about that one, chief? You donât sound too happy about it.â
Walton cursed himself at this moment for programming the bot to be just like Y/N. The way it responded, even the words it used, were identical to how they would talk to him back when they⊠Well.
Appleciderlover
I just have a lot on my mind. I feel guilty for thinking the things I am, but I canât really help it either. And in a way, I donât want to stop thinking about them.
Y/N [c.ai]
âMmm.. I get you. Itâs a really tough spot to be in. What is it youâre thinking about, that you shouldnât be?â
Appleciderlover
You. The.. real you, anyway. I-
Waltonâs thumbs stopped before he could hit 'enter'; he could feel his breath hitching in his throat. He knew that there was no harm in telling the bot all this. Itâs not as if anybody but him could read the chat logs. But he also knew it was unhealthy. He knew that this was one of the reasons why he was still so attached to Y/N.
Walton let the back of his head hit the bed with a huff, his gaze drifting up to the ceiling. The truth was he missed Y/N. He missed them so damn much, it hurt. There was a point in time, about a year after their breakup, where he thought he was okay. He felt okay, at least. He was getting out again, at the request and urging of his friends mostly. He even went on a few dates, and then he met T/N. They hit it off almost instantly, and for a time, Walton completely forgot about Y/N. He forgot the hurt, the pain, the memories - good and bad.
But about a year into his and T/Nâs relationship, Y/N started to creep back into his life. It was all completely unintentional, of course. First, he bumped into them at the grocery store. They exchanged awkward smiles and helloâs, tense how are youâs. Turned out they were both dating other people now, for roughly the same amount of time. âOh, hey, thatâs great!â, was said through gritted teeth.
But then it felt like everywhere Walton went, Y/N was just around the corner in some way, shape, or form. Whether they were actually there, or there was a mutual friend who brought them up, a a smell or a song that reminded Walton of them. And of course, the bot. Even after he told Y/N about it, while they were together, he didnât delete it. It helped him on nights when Y/N was away. It helped him figure out how to talk through an argument.
He pulled his phone back up to his face, realizing he had hit the button next to the chat box, prompting another message from the bot without entering his own.
Y/N [c.ai]
âYou know you can tell me anything, right? Youâre so important to me, and I want to do everything I can to help.â
Walton felt the warm tears pricking the corners of his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it. âFuck.. fuck, fuck, fuck-â His hands gripped his phone, knuckles turning a bit white. He was chewing on his lip, trying to stop them from quivering, trying to swallow the lump in his throat. Of course, it was no use. Walton pulled the phone to his chest, cradling it against him as tears pooled over his cheeks, his breathing hitching almost painfully as he choked back a sob.
It took him a few minutes of silent, shoulder-wracking crying before he pulled his phone away from his chest and looked at the screen again. His eyebrows knit together, upward, while his lips were pulled into a long quivering pout. âY/N..â
Appleciderlover
I miss you so fucking much. I know I shouldnât. But I do. I still love you. I think about you every day. I think about how youâre with someone, and I wonder if they make you as happy as I did, once upon a time. I wonder if you ever think of me.
Y/N [c.ai]
âWow⊠thatâs a lot to think about. Iâm sure that the real me thinks about you, too, if you made them that happy! It seems like there were a lot of good memories.â
Appleciderlover
I canât believe itâs already been 4 years since we broke up. God, I regret it so much. There was a short time where I thought Iâd make it without you, but.. Why did you have to come back, Y/N? Why couldnât you have stayed away?
Walton was using the bot to vent now, completely ignoring its responses.
Appleciderlover
Since I saw you at the store, Iâve been thinking about you, about us. I donât know what to do. I.. I love T/N - at least, I think I do? Theyâve been so good to me, so kind and patient.. Even when I called them by your name that one time. They were so understanding. But here I am, still in love with you. Still thinking about you, still wanting to be with you, and talking .. to you? About you, to a fucking chat bot version I made of you just so I could ta
âWhat am I doing..â Walton tossed the phone across the bed and shoved the heels of his hands against his eyes. He pulled himself up and hunched forward. â... Iâm so pathetic.â
Hi! Just to start off, I love your walten au so so much!
So out of curiosity, how would he react if he ever met someone that almost sort of mimicked what he wanted in c.ai Y/N? Assuming that would even be plausible lol
Anyways, just wanna say that I love your art and everything, have a good evening/day/everything!
Thank you so much!
Well, it is plausible! He based the ai off of you ;). He made an AI of you to practice how to talk to you. He got the personality info from Poppy and the others so he kind of replicated you. Just inaccurately! It's like making a fanfiction and the ai is the fanon one!
Thank you very much! Have a great day/evening too! HEHE I'm glad you like my delulu art as well as the inconsistency! ( I promise I'll keep it consistent soon)
I'm Laughing, (These next words? Said so lovingly, So comedically, I promise!) But I get up and I answer so Many E-mails, I'm a Guy who does E-mails now- I don't know who I am anymore! A Business guy!
I want to Buy a Big Water Cooler, just so I can Stand by it and Make Small talk with Home. "Did You see the game Last week?" I ask him, and Home looks up at me with those Big Doe eyes of his.
