Couple of Welcome Home drawings.

[hastiartio]

Haha see who's back!

Okay... I love her design, and I think Clown should be responsible for this... because I'm spending most of my time searching and seeing arts and fanarts about welcome home 🏡

And here's the rough sketches and clean up :D

No words can express how excited I was to reveal Brienne Velvet in the Butcher AU

For a couple of months I’ve been working on her character and design, at first i wasn’t going to make Brienne in this Dark AU.

Mainly due to lack of fitting her in the AU and the idea of Wally being a cannibal lol

{Warning: this contains gore and disturbing descriptions some people will find disturbing}

Anyway, Meet Brienne Velvet, the Baker and newest neighbor of the neighborhood Home, she moved from Violet Evergreen with her roommate Sally Starlet, a starving actress.

Brienne opened up her own bakery, Baby Doll’s and seemly life was going swell…well until she met her neighbor across from her bakery, the Butcher, Wally Darling.

Well, met is far fetched to Wally…

{In 1958}

Wally was a little boy, abused and neglected by his father, Detleu loved by his mother, Donna until her death by the hands of his father.

Wally was just a boy, hurt, depressed and abused, he felt alone at the park until a young girl with blonde pig tails approached him, she helped him with his bruises and talk to him like a friend.

This girl was Brienne Velvet, she had blonde pretty golden hair at the time, she and wally became the best of friends while growing up in home.

Brienne lived with her mother, Margaret and older sister Brittany. Prior to moving to Home Archie Velvet, Husband and father died in a car crash causing his family to move for a new life.

During Wally & Brienne’s teen years, they gone closer and closer, Brienne was his study buddy and often protected him rather it’d be bullies or his father.

Brienne wasn’t the popular girl, she was pretty but definitely not the dream girl…to wally she was, Brienne was an athlete in women’s track that was rare.

Brienne had a brighter and welcoming family mor than Wally which why he preferred to to hang out with her at her house instead.

Eventually Brienne and Wally started dating in secret mainly from his father, they went on movie dates whether it was the theater or at her place, it took awhile but wally got used to Margaret being nice to him.

It was sweet while it lasted…a cute young couple just in love, blinded by reality and dangers.

{In 1963}

Wally and Brienne were giggling, sneaking into his backyard at night while his father was “asleep”, they talked during the moonlight, gazing at each other with love and kissing without a care in the world.

Unfortunately, that blindness of love was there downfall, deltleu wasn’t asleep but drunk and when he heard sounds in his backyard, he grabbed a shotgun and saw wally with Brienne making out and in his drunken state…

He cloaked his gun casing the young lovers to break away and Brienne gasp in fear as Wally’s father had a shotgun, causing Wally to quickly push her off and made her run.

She ran and panted, scared for her life as she should be, Wally begged his father not to hurt Brienne but he didn't listen and shot, until she collapsed when he finally shot her in the head.

Wally screamed bloody murder, he had lost it, he tried to ran to Brienne’s unmoving body but his father grabbed him as Wally screamed how much he hated him for killing his girlfriend.

Unknown to him, Brienne was alive, barely breathing but unconscious and wolves in the deep woods smelled her blood.

They start ripping her skin and eating her flesh off.

Brienne would’ve been truly dead if it weren’t for two officers finding her in the woods after Margaret was on a search for her missing daughter.

She was missing for three hours and within that three hours she was alive, bleeding from her head and bloody all over her face, the cops rushed the poor girl to the hospital.

Margaret and Brittany were worried, Brienne was attached to wires and a life line.

Brienne was brought to the hospital on time to be saved by chance, a miracle and some would say fate.

Doctors operated on Brienne face, wounds and getting the bullet out of her head.

It took weeks for Brienne to be conscious again but her face was healing miraculously.

However, Brienne had no memories of Wally, no memories of early childhood years just memories of Brittany and Margaret.

That was then Margaret made it a decision as her mother to move to a different town away from here.

She never told briennd the truth, manipulated her, and forced Brittany not to utter a word.

She firmly believed this town was dangerous, although Margaret loved her children, she couldn’t bare to look at Brienne. Her face was gone and she had to wear a prosthetic pin-up doll mask for the rest of her life.

Brienne went on through the rest of her high school years like this with no friends, she cut her hair and dyed it black, she didn’t like looking like her mother who could barely stand her.

After high school, Brienne worked at a Hotel to make money to support herself and make enough money to become a professional baker and to own her own bakery.

She met a woman around her age, Sally Starlet her co-worker. They were both front desk.

Sally's dream was to be an actress. She wanted to star in musicals, movies, and TV. As of now, she was a starving actress.

Once the two individual women developed a friendship, they had a plan to move in together for their careers.

At the end of the year 1985, Brienne moved in with Sally in the neighborhood "home".

Sally would focus on her acting career while Brienne could open her bakery "Baby doll's".

Unfortunately, she would find out that something dark and sinister lurks in the night...waiting and hunting.

She can feel it from the butcher shop across her bakery, her librarian Frank, mail man, Eddie, friendly neighbor Poppy, the comedian, Barnaby, and the grocery store owner Howdy feel it too...

A/n: I had have this character underground for a year and by god, I'm so thrilled I get to show her off!

This is one of my brilliant stories with Brienne and Wally in the AUs.

And yes, people who know the plot love the tragic love story in the butcher wally au :)

Butcher wally belongs to @Meatbag56 on Tiktok

In the butcher AU, I have three endings planned

The true ending/happy ending: Brienne stays in the neighborhood "home" she rekindles her lost love with Wally after talking with him finally and remembers her past slowly but surely.

In this ending a secret path is revealed in the story, Brienne was forced to take medical pills "Alprazolam" to forget her past with wally by her mother.

It is only when she stops taking them everything is revealed to her, also Wally and Brienne end up getting married and having your kids in this ending :)

The bad ending: Everyone is dead, straight up Wally kills the neighbors and Brienne's best friend Sally.

Brienne knows she and wally had a relationship but she was driven with madness and insanity after her friends were killed and her employees.

She wants revenge and instead of running away she confront Wally and makes him pay with his life.

In this ending, she kills Wally with her axe with no hesitation and what reminds her of her psyche is insanity.

The escape ending: This is the neutral ending where most of the neighbors are killed, Sally and Brienne are left to survive and escape the butcher shop.

In this ending, Brienne never rekindles her lost love with wally not remembers him and leaves with sally to LA to start a fresh start with their careers.

I based off Brienne design in this au as sal fisher from sally face as you can tell.

Brienne is a fairy puppet like the rest of her family and she is chubby in the present time unlike in the past

(I can't draw sally I'm sorry XD the includes probably the rest of the welcome home neighbors)

In case no one knew, Brienne not best friends with Julie joyful in the neighborhood due to the canon wise she is dead in the butcher wally au so she never met her and only sally.

The song for Brienne theme are

"The Ballad of Jane doe" from a ride on the cyclone

"Hayloft 1 & 2" from Mother which the backstory with Brienne and wally love based off.

💛Meet Felicity Flair, Home's sweetest neighbor! 💛🍰

FINALLY ready to share my darling Welcome Home OC! I have sketches ready to finish up soon, but I couldn't wait any longer to introduce her as Art Fight comes up!

I need to stress that I didn't make the art of her, but it was commissioned from the lovely @springbon-t-art! So go show her some love! 🫶

The remainder of her profile is being put under the cut :D

Felicity Flair became the main chef/baker in Home after moving in and reopening the Diner that once belonged to her “granny”, Franny. Despite her softspoken manner, she had a strong country accent that sometimes warranted humorous usage of subtitles. She often spoke of her worldwide travels before settling into Home, everything from Paris to Rio to the North Pole, though the details are uncertain or conflicting.

Similar to Howdy’s Place, Felicity’s Diner used an unconventional monetary system: stories. According to the uncovered vinyl record “Tell Me More”, while she got the customer’s food, Felicity would ask them to tell her a story—real or fictional—and that would be their payment.

Often seen behind the counter at her diner, Felicity rarely took part in Home’s events early-on. After a dozen episodes followed by her special (“Olive You, Neighbor”), she started to attend more, seen at Julie’s side, though she was still usually in her diner uniform for them.

As one of the most “ladylike” neighbors, she had a plethora of knowledge on etiquette and manners (“Pinkies Out!”).

Scripts and plans imply that she was meant to be a potential love interest for either Wally or Howdy, but it was allegedly never decided which; there is equal evidence for both. However, it is clear that she acted as a best friend / older sister figure for Julie.

Felicity was the final addition to the Welcome Home cast, circa early 1973. As she does not appear in early promotional material, documentation has shown that she was added to go along with new nutritional education nationwide. Many of her segments involved eating right, but she did also encourage having a sweet treat every so often.

Like neighbors such as Wally and Julie, Felicity is believed to be a puppet operated by one handler, though some cooking segments permitted a human actor to wear felt gloves for close-ups.

Poppy Partridge Character Analysis !TW! Mental Health

I'll start posting again if that exam i gonna answer is over, Okay moping over a 3 day long exam outta the way, Let's go into mom's- I MEAN Poppy's analysis!

Neglected in the Art Department :< - She and howdy pillar got less art than everyone along with The Alegre / Joyful siblings and Ms. Benedict / Beagle. The lowest got 2, TWO!!! pictures made of them, Unfair! >:<

She's a Baker - Remember when I said I made a "Job Theory"? Well let's swing back to it! Poppy is the resident Baker, but it's more likely she is representative / a stand in for a "Senior Citizen" in the Show, considering everyone helps her around her house / bakery, I think she's one of or THE tallest and oldest neighbor, which I headcanon her to be somewhere around 6'3 - 6'5 and 32 -36.

HOLD THE PHONE!!! - Wait, Did I notice that... POPPY IS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT FRANK SMILED WITH?!?!?! I know it's a bit of a stretch, But If you search through every single artwork you can find the eddie and POPPY are the first people that frank is shown smiling with. It makes sense with eddie but why poppy? Ain't julie their bestie???

Possible Agoraphobia??? - Let's go in Mental Health analysis!! Poppy may have Agoraphobia, if her general Worry and Fear is the reason she never leaves her Barn, Then that explains why she stays at home most of the time. Similarly with why she doesn't use her own cooking appliances in overthinking that someone's gonna get hurt and that makes her trustworthy through this ARG.

Aside Time!!!! - Poppy's Professional Relationship is with Howdy Pillar, who personally delivers all her groceries, but her Personal Relations are with both Wally Darling and Frank Frankly: Poppy is shown hugging Wally, and holding onto Frank's arm when standing. The assisted standing with Frank also adds to the possibility that Poppy is Convalescent, Meaning she may be recovering from an unknown illness causing her needing support.

Was an effeminate boy? - Y'all already know that Poppy is a Trans woman. But we can see that she was a girl but I like to believe that she was an effeminate boy that loved "girly" things so ofc she would be bullied for it, But what made her successfully become a woman was her best friend, Sally / Byeol Cheoleom. Sally encouraged her all the way while poppy was transitioning and Poppy made it.

Ethnicity Analysis Time!!! - I believe that Poppy is a Mestiza, a mestiza is a woman of mixed European and indigenous non-European ancestry in the former Spanish Empire. In certain regions such as Latin America, it may also refer to people who are culturally European even though their ancestors are indigenous. Plus, I think she's a red legged partridge that is NATIVE TO SPAIN.

Poppy's Story - Paulo "Pauly" Perdiz was born in 1937 half British Half Spanish. He was bullied for being a "Pansy" but he met friends and knew he wasn't alone, In highschool in the early 50s Paulo became Poppy as she thought the name was pretty and completed transitioning into a girl. One day she found out that Howard (Analysis on him later) became a Bodeguero and promoted to Owner, So Poppy worked there as the Pilar's Bodega baker. She got isekai'd in WH and then it was too late, She totally got killed *sobs in rushed*

Aight we done here, I need to draw. I haven't been drawing for a while lmao

Lil Miss Apple

Somewhat Inspired by the Creepypasta story, Lil Miss Rarity

Meet the Characters

You- Maybe YOU can end the madness

Wally Darling- After losing a beloved neighbor Apple Bunny to the So Below Infection, Wally began to craft a doll, naming it after Apple or Lil Miss Apple, a little one to call her "Daddy."

Julie Joyful- Alive, is the first neighbor of Apple Plush

Eddie Dear Frankly- Alive, is the second neighbor to find Apple Plush of a mail run

Apple Darling aka Lil Miss Apple - A plush rabbit doll made from the neighbors around the neighborhood, Poppy, Frank, Sally, Howdy, and Barnaby, and Home She is a creme-colored rabbit plush doll Wally made giving her Home "Heart" and some of the neighbor's limbs when he ran out of the original material, using the neighbor's clothes to make a misstitched dress for her out of the neighbor's clothes, she as one normal eye (her left) and one black button eye (her right)

It was a grimace day in the neighborhood of Welcome Home, The beloved neighbor known as Apple Bunny was in the psychiatric hospital after violently attacking another neighbor at her bakery a couple of days ago. It was bizarre and unnatural behavior that none of the neighbors had seen before, Wally was the only one who knew her condition and it racked him with guilt. She had the infection, The "So Below" infection. He thought it was all controlled, all contained...he was wrong it turns out.

Wally looked at Apple Bunny's home and then walked into the Victorian residence she lived in, it was eerie quiet as he looked at the happy memories on the wall, the photos in their frames, and the art pieces Wally had given her as gifts seemed empty now, he hated it, he wanted to change it..but how?.

Soon Wally heard a knock on the front door of Apple's home It was You, You held some flowers as they placed them on the doorstep of Apple's house. "I hope she gets better soon for a bunny with a gothic witch aesthetic, She was a great and kind baker and neighbor," You said as your words cut Wally like a knife as he knew she would never get better. There was no cure for the infection but death and he wouldn't do it again...not again not another neighbor.

Wally snaps out of his thoughts and nods at You as he walks outside closing the door of Apple's house. "Yes, let's hope she gets better soon neighbor; she was the absolute most..." Wally says looking at the house again before walking back to the neighborhood with You.

[nate-the-bee]

Nate the Bee's Friends!

Nate loves every one of his new neighbours in Home, but he has a different kind of relationship with each neighbour. After all, each of them is so unique! It makes sense they'd be loved for different things...so here's a list!

Eddie Dear is another favourite friend of Nate's. Nate loves the gentle, clumsy goofball of a neighbour. As a bee from France, Nate is also enamoured with Eddie's southern accent. Nate is always encouraging Eddie to get along with their grumpy neighbour, Frank, although it usually backfires on both of them. Nate calls Eddie "Monsieur Dear", although will also sometimes just call him "Dear One".

Barnaby B. Beagle is one of Nate's favourite friends! As Nate says, "a good baker always has a pun in the oven"! Together, the two make jokes and goofs and gaffs all day long. They also joke about how their middle initials are the same! The only difference between them is that Barnaby likes to poke friendly fun at his neighbours while Nate tends to shy away from teasing. Nate doesn't want to make anyone upset! But don't worry, Nate isn't a spoil sport...he doesn't mind when Barnaby makes fun of him! Except when it's in front of a particular, very handsome caterpillar... Nate calls Barnaby "Monsieur Beagle", although sometimes calls him "Le Chien Bleu".

Poppy Patridge is probably Nate's second favourite neighbour. Nate loves to come over to Poppy's place to bake, knit, drink tea, and relax. Nate is usually a very excitable loud bee, always buzzing about. Around Poppy, however, he stays calm and quiet so as not to alarm his large bird friend. Nate calls Poppy "Madame Partridge".

Frank Frankly doesn't seem like the kind of fellow that Nate would adore, but au contraire mon a-bee, Frank is the kind of person Nate enjoys quite a lot! While Frank may seem like a grumpy gus, Nate knows he opens up when he cares about something. And Nate cares about him! Nate is always complimenting Frank's gelatin creations (even if they're not to be eaten), and they're always hanging out in Frank's garden. Nate is also fond of listening to Frank talk about various insects, especially the moths and butterflies. Nate thinks that, if he hadn't been born a bee, he would have likes to be a rosy maple moth instead. Nate calls Frank "Monsieur Frankly".

Julie Joyful, surprisingly, is the neighbour Nate hangs out with the least. It isn't that Nate doesn't care for her. He adores Julie's creativity, her energy, and her up-beat attitude. It's just that she's so destructive and loud sometimes that Nate becomes overwhelmed! He was quite scared and shocked the first time they played pretend and it ended with Julie wailing and knocking things over as part of their playtime. A bee like Nathan is energetic enough as it is. Both of them together can be a little too much... Nate calls Julie "Mademoiselle Joyful".

Sally Starlet is another one of Nate's favourite neighbours, especially because she knows a little French. Sally sometimes asks Poppy and Nate to create confections for use as onstage props...although to Nate's dismay, they never end up eaten. Nate, however, is always willing to take part in a play, especially if the role is musical. Most often, Nate plays a friendly face onstage, but occasionally he makes a particularly enthusiastic villain! Nate calls Sally "Madame Starlet", a name Sally is very fond of.

Howdy Pillar is Nate's favourite neighbour. It's not because they're both buggy business owners who enjoy jokes, although he sees the similarities. No...it's because Nate has a crush on him! Nate is always buying baking supplies from Howdy's store, and he always orders a strawberry soda when he stops in. He likes to sit and drink his soda as he watches Howdy and Barnaby tell stories...although Nate is barely listening. He blushes very hard when Barnaby teases him, though Howdy is oblivious to Nate's fuzzy-buzzy affections. Nate calls him "Monsieur Pillar", or sometimes, "Ma chenille".

Wally Darling is a friend Nate is very fond of. Nate is always buzzing with excitement when Wally visits the bakery with one of their many friends! Nate is particularly proud of Wally's ability to show affection, especially his blown kisses! It's clear to Nate that Wally loves each of his neighbours very much, and Nate loves Wally right back! Nate knows that Wally takes some time to tell stories, and that even though his voice isn't very expressionate, Wally means every word of what he says, so Nate waits patiently and gives Wally his undivided attention. Nate calls Wally "Monsieur Darling".

Home is the neighbour Nate is the most curious about. He didn't know homes could be alive! The closest he's come to this concept is living in a hive! But not to worry, Nate's confusion doesn't get in the way of his love for him big, boxy neighbour. Nate will often leave sweet treats at Home's doorstep, free of charge (after all, it would be hard for a house to give a hug or blow a kiss! And Nate can never quite understand Home's jokes without someone there to translate). Nate calls Home "Monsieur House".

Spooky Movie Marathon 2024: Week 4

Day 20: The Skeleton Key (2005)

Day 21: The Curse of King Tut's Tomb (1980) - based on the book Behind the Mask of Tutankhamen by Barry Wynne; heavy embellishment of the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen

Day 22: The Creature with the Atom Brain (1955)

Day 23: Son of Dracula (1943) - sequel to Dracula (1931) and Dracula's Daughter (1936)

Day 24: Willy's Wonderland (2021) - remake of the director's 2016 short film Wally's Wonderland

Day 25: The Mummy (1959) - loose remake of the Universal Mummy movies, which I will not fully list because there's a whopping six of them

Day 26: I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) - very loosely based on the 1973 novel of the same name by Lois Duncan

good week! i got most of the "decades" movies i wanted to hit this week: 1940s, 1980s, 2020s. all that's left is 1910s at this point, and i've got a couple films in mind... one of them is a french movie almost three hours long (j'accuse !), so if i don't feel up to that this weekend then it will be another german movie sometime during the week.

i also managed to squeeze in a movie with christopher lee and peter cushing, so i think i'm satisfied with films targetting specific actors... there are more horror icons i didn't get to (lon chaney sr. springs to mind, along with more modern actors), but nobody's really singing out that i NEED to squeeze them in before the end of the month.

rambling thoughts:

The Skeleton Key (2005) - this film is agonizing because the script it SOOOO GOOD and the final plot twist so perfectly built up, but the more and more you think about said twist the more and more racist it gets. aghg. but props for including a blind willie johnson song and having it tie into said twist! and speaking of the music, i also have clearly listened to too much 1920s black gospel music because i didn't even realize the scene where kate hudson listens to the conjure of sacrifice record was supposed to be scary until i saw her roommate's face; i was too busy going "wow :) just like on my playlists :) gee whiz they did a really good job capturing the vibes of recordings from people like the reverend j.m. gates :) :)"

The Curse of King Tut's Tomb (1980) - nooooo not tom baker and raymond burr in brownface. but unfortunately that is... what i may not WANT but certainly what i expect from a cheap british tv mummy movie. and as cheap british tv mummy movies go... it has all the flaws and colonialist leanings of the genre but that aside i thought it was funly spooky. because it was a cheap tv movie, they had to depend more on atmosphere and mood, which worked well. there was apparently a cut scene where tom baker's character gets stabbed in the eye during his death scene where his plane explodes, and honestly thank GOD it was cut. that would have been way too over the top and luridly silly and the film works much better as an atmospheric period piece than an 80s gore film. i'll definitely need to revisit this one whenever i get around to writing my gothic mummy thriller, there's a lot of good and bad stuff in this to deconstruct/draw from.

The Creature with the Atom Brain (1955): this has got to be one of the most 1950s films to ever 1950s. you've got nuclear-powered zombies created by evil foreigners (one of who is an ex-nazi mad scientist named wilhelm, because of course his name is wilhelm) causing mayhem in white suburban bliss for our cop protagonist (played by richard denning, because of COURSE he's played by richard denning) and his happy homemaker wife and their Just So Darling daughter. all that's missing are teenage delinquents going on an anti-square crusade using the power of whitewashed rock 'n roll (probably because they were the ones in the audience when this came out). unfortunately unlike some dated products of the era this movie was just? boring? not awful, but not as engaging as the premise would suggest. this was the b-film for it came from beneath the sea and it definitely shows that this is a film they expected you to pay less attention to. the premise is pretty delightfully batshit, though.

Son of Dracula (1943) - southern gothic twist on the universal version of dracula, VERY cool, very atmospheric. also some great vampire transformation effects in this. just don't think too hard about the timeline of the series or who the primary immigrants from europe would have been at this time that this film is making a very questionable metaphor about--you WILL get a headache.

Willy's Wonderland (2021) - had this recommended to me by somebody at work. nicholas cage battles demonic man-eating serial killer animatronics, ft. annoying young people being insufferable. the movie's great but i wish it had just been about nicholas cage and MAYBE the liv character as his eventual surrogate daughter taking down the animatronics in increasingly absurd ways, but i also recognize the need of the young people to be cannon fodder. but also the animatronics were RIDICULOUSLY easy to take down. how were these things ever a threat. absurd.

The Mummy (1959) - insert repeat of the noooo not X in browface joke wherein X is christopher lee. i was going to make a joke about how this isn't a remake at all and because of how loosely the old universal monster movies took continuity it is in fact just a sequel and this is the same mummy that went up against abbott and costello in 1955. but unfortunately that mummy was named klaris and this one goes by the name kharis, the name used by the mummy in universal's second through fifth movies. so RIP that joke. ANYWAY. good movie. a bit tedious when the mummy's backstory is being outlined, but otherwise fine. i haven't seen all the universal mummy movies yet but just compared to the 1932 movie this one gives way more payoff on seeing an actual mummy walk around versus starting off with that and then skipping to boris karloff spending the rest of the movie with glue on his face looking like he very badly needs some moisturizer. but i do have a soft spot for the 1932 film because i got to see it in theaters in a double feature with bride of frankenstein two years ago, and for as much of a dracula rehash the plot is the german expressionist influence really was so gorgeous on the big screen. but i did really like the colors in this 1959 movie, especially the inexplicable funky green jell-o light in the mummy's tomb. very neato. also i watched this movie primarily for christopher lee and peter cushing and because i saw a video once that described the hammer mummy movies as cinematic capsules of post-ww2 british colonial nostalgia, and... mmhm. there's a scene where cushing's character has verbal spars with Mr. Evil Egyptian Stereotype™ about the proper way to respect ancient egyptian relics and burial sites, and respecting non-christian religions, and it is WILD how un-self aware the british filmmakers are in how both characters are presented. mr. stereotype makes some VERY valid points but the movie presents him as a completely irrational and backwards knave and cushing's character as a perfect and totally 100% correct saint who is smarter because he's Civilized™. it's like the 1932 movie that way, the film is so bafflingly close to criticizing its own colonialist leanings and sometimes literally seems to do so, but then the plot happens and it's just like. oh. that wasn't intentional. you're just oblivious.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997): this movie had me until the end. the characters were standard enough for a slasher movie, but likeable, with engaging moral dilemmas that made me want to see what was going to happen to them. then the plot twist for who the killer was happened and the movie lost me. maybe it's because i was repairing one of my shoes while watching and not paying super close attention but did we even meet the guy beforehand??? i don't think so, and when it comes to twists and mysteries, i like it when stories lay out clues where if you put in the effort you might be able to figure it out ahead of time. there was SOME setup in that regard, but not really enough for some random guy to be the surprise killer. it was a good twist in theory, but not in practice, and unfortunately did make me walk away feeling dissatisfied. i did really like the movie's soundtrack though. most of it was 90s rock and metal, but it was good 90s rock and metal, and there was some other stuff in there too, and any movie that has type o neative, leadbelly, AND bing crosby on its soundtrack is a winner.

"Oh what should I make Wally Neighbor? I want him to have the best food I can make him", Y/n stated as she talked to Neighbor on what to make for Wally.

"Ah I know, I should make him a dessert", you said as your eyes glowed and you smiled brightly as you went to prepare everything.

"Neighbor go bring Wally by the time you get back the dessert should be ready. Oh no worries Neighbor they don't call me the best baker in the neighborhood for nothing. But lets hurry Wally is going to be so surprised". You said showing off neighbor as they went to Home seeing Wally inside painting.

"Why hello neighbor what brings you here today?", Wally says pausing his painting.

"Y/n wants me to come over what joy. We should go not to keep Y/n waiting as we wouldn't want that right neighbor", Wally said leaving Home and heading to your bakery.

Once he got there he called out to you as you called back. "Alright Wally close your eyes" "Whatever for?" "You will see now close them", Wally closed his eyes as you went back to grab what you had made.

"Alright now open in three, two, one!", Wally opened his eyes to see a dessert all for himself and better yet it was made by you.

"I hope you like it" "I don't like ot Y/n" "Oh" "I love it!! "Really" "Yes! I love it like how I love all your backings and desserts, you are the best baker in the neighborhood".
