okay I haven’t drawn Felix fanart since 2022, I still enjoy this fool!!! This was very enjoyable to draw,, I’m sharing it everywhere. FIRST WALTEN FILES FANART SINCE THE EPISODE RELEASED WILL DRAW MORE,,A LOT OF LINDA.. I LOVE LINDA
All Evidence I can remember that implies Felix is the Shadowman theory: compilation (plus the relationship between Shadowman and “Bon” theory a little bit..)
Spoilers Below for episode 5
I have believed Felix was the Shadowman for a very long time, and I think the newest secret episode has basically confirmed it in my eyes. I’ve noticed some are speculating it now, so here is a post full of all the previous hints that continue to lean into the idea he is the Shadowman + my theory that him and “Bon” are working together. This might be a bit messy, forgive me as I’m new to these posts but I really wanna yap somewhere about this.
1:“Bon” and Shadowman/Felix connection
Now this one isn’t completely leaning into the Felix thing, but it kinda does at the same time. It really leans into the separate theory that Shadowman and “Bon” are working together in some capacity, which I strongly believe. At the very end of the episode Relocate Project, a voice says “Shadowman sees me when lights go off” which, now at this point we can heavily suspect is “Bon” saying this.
So whoever the Shadowman is knows who “Bon” is, and sees him specifically when Bon’s Burgers is dark and closed for the night.. and what did we learn in the new secret episode? That Felix was caught inside the restaurant at night by police. I have a suspicion that Felix is cleaning up “Bons” messes. The whole situation of Rosemary’s last moments in Bon’s Burgers, and the way Felix acts when the police arrive is extremely suspicious. Felix claims he’s “sleeping” there, but why would he have a fit over them entering the establishment.. unless he knew something happened in there and the police arrived unexpectedly, yet he is very overly almost oblivious about the screams of Rosemary when he definitely would’ve heard them inside that building… suspicious. Felix in this scene really feels like he’s lying and putting up an act to try to make himself look like he was there at the wrong place at the wrong time.. not buying it..
(Collins speaking in the interrogation about how Felix had a fit and denied entry to police without a warrant after the death of Rosemary)
But wait! There’s more!!
Here is where I get more into the Felix = Shadowman evidence!
First!
Bunnyfarm:
This is one of the first major hints I believe towards the Felix is Shadowman theory. And it’s with this spot the difference sequence.
In this scene we can see Billy playing with three dolls. One all blue, and the other two green. There is also a car by the two green dolls. In the scene on the right, we see the blue doll is now all black, and the two previous green ones are now red. Which I believe is a direct reference to the crash. As Felix’s suit is usually blue, but the suit he wears on that day of the crash is specifically that blue one. Then, the fact the kids turn to red, referencing the red children of Edd and Molly. Plus.. the car. But the fact Felix’s doll turns completely all black makes me think this is a reference to the Shadowman.
The Showstoppers album:
Now, take this one with a slight grain of salt, as from what the wiki says, these albums are now technically retconned (via the Ponzi’s band that were the in lore creators of the Showstoppers music few years ago) But I feel this is still important evidence to showcase as despite the retconn, this WAS canon at one point. Which I think is still good to keep in mind while discussing this theory.
In one of the songs titled “Slowly” this is stated in the lyrics:
“Shadow Man watches from the dark
He knows he wrecked that car, swears he has no part.
He’s got no heart.”
Now.. despite the retconned status of these albums I still felt that was important to mention because of how strong this evidence could be seen as for the theory! Something I find particularly interesting to mention is how it mentions the Shadowman having “no heart” this is a very important line because many times throughout the series, Felix is mentioned of having a “big heart” like in that scene in Relocate Project where it’s stated that Felix had a “giant brain and giant heart” I think this could be an interesting perspective on possibly how Felix views himself vs how his actions really reflect a lack of heart for those around him when it comes to saving his own skin.
The newest secret episode + TWF 5:
Now to add onto the previous mention of the “My Soul” video and now TWF 5. In the background of Rosemary getting lured by Bon we see this man figure come into frame.
(The figure is located to the bottom right of the image, hard to spot at first)
The fact we see this figure in the establishment after Felix was caught in Bon’s Burgers feels like one of the biggest hints yet. That’s all I really have to say about it. But the fact we know the Shadowman witnessed Rosemary’s death, and Felix being confirmed there.. hmm.

Big post cause I love yapping about The Walten Files :D more posts like this to come. I’ll make more theories about the connection between the Shadowman and “Bon” but I just wanted to make this post with all of the evidence from the series itself that makes me strongly believe Felix is the Shadowman. If I missed any lemme know!
I’m still not over this drawing in Rosemary’s journal. It’s so gut wrenching knowing what happens to them only a few years later. It hurts everytime I look at it
The kids and Jack truly meant the world to her, she loved them so much, she was so happy and everything was stolen from her. Ohhh Rosemary I love you ..💔
Caused this whole mess and then some and he STILL had the audacity to go “Bons Burgers yes 🤓☝️” during the interrogation
Someone throw this dorks glasses right off his face, he’s so ready to be a fool everytime he’s on screen 😭
Edited this post cause I just learned I don’t have to use the dots for spoilers 😭 first time posting something on tumblr HAHA, you learn new things everyday!
