I introduce you to my new au, Channel Swap/Switch !
TW: A little bit of SH please do not read on if sensitive !
This AU is still in development and Im trying to give it lore, but, basically, whenever a viewer switches the TV channel, Wally is possessed by a massive Error, which causes him to panic uncontrollably (I think I want to add a detail where Wally is unfairly ‘programmed’ to panic and resort to self-abusive behavior, slapping, punching, etc.) The longer the viewer watches, the more tolerable the attacks are, it is barely noticeable and he will likely just stand there for a few seconds and go back to normal, the faster the channel is changed, the more difficult it is for him to keep calm. Attacks are abrupt and unpredictable, fellow neighbours are aware of these but arent able to do anything to help him. If he is speaking, and comes across the error, his speech will be interrupted and a very garbled static will filter his voice, becoming unintelligible (muffled screams, cries)
Wally will resort to having outbursts to express his anger, rarely at his friends, and mostly at home (Shown in the drawing above)
Though the attacks are visible to those who are within Welcome Home, the audience is unaware. Wally uses threatening the viewers, or unscripted 4th wall breaking, begging the audience to stay.

That is about a summary of all this, hopefully I can come up with and share more soon!
Thank you! Hopefully you’re not too sad 💔
