I gotta say, the parallels between the neighbors and W (or YOU, or Question-Answerer because they're all the same person under 3 different names) is amazing. I don't know if it was intentional or not but wow.

For example, in brick by brick when Poppy isolates herself. That's currently what we are doing, if you've seen the awayfrompryingeyes website, we have decided to remain at home.

Julie having a panic attack and trying to remain in character because she doesn't want anyone to perceive her as anything other than bubbly and fun. Same when we're at work, but when we're by ourselves, that is when we start to panic about everything going on to the point we've made a diary about it (the awayfrompryingeyes website is our diary)

By the way I'm saying "our" because it's easier. It's actually W/YOU/Question-Answerer that's talking to US with their diary on that website. We're just the audience.

And Eddie in the homewarming update having a existential crisis especially after seeing Home watching him like that. Same with us, as we are being watched by our restoration team coworkers and clearly they've noticed something since they decided to, ahem,

Firstly use Sally to close the guestbook and THEN SILENCED WALLY RECENTLY.

Anyways....

[citrineaura]

Okay, can we talk about how smart Wally is. He just continues to amaze me.

He was silenced by the restoration team, so he decided to use floriography code to communicate with us instead which brought us to all those hidden websites. He has witnessed Julie talking to the flowers and inquired her about it, was inspired, and decided to create code by talking to us with it.

And even aside from that, he's been editing the website even though he's from another era, and he's been giving us hidden links. He also knows Morse code (he speaks in Morse code with home)

Like previously, some people got on him about having a slow speech, not understanding basic things, etc just because he has autism and can't help it but what about THIS? THIS??? Mind you, this IS someone who at first didn't know what was going on but quickly adapted to technology, code, and hidden languages all in a short span of time, even when he was overwhelmed about it 2 years ago.

In fact, it goes so deep that he's appearing in DREAMS and unconsciously making the effects in his world come to ours (to our detriment, but it wasn't purposeful)

Can we continue giving Wally credit where credit is due? Please. I don't care if he doesn't know what 25 x 25 is, this man knows much more complicated things which is quite paradoxical, but that's OKAY. GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS.

[citrineaura]

THIS IS WHY I'VE NEVER TRUSTED THE RESTORATION PROJECT.

They SILENCED WALLY. This is why I said a long time ago only ONE member of that team "YOU" is trustworthy. That's why Wally goes for them. Everyone else is suspicious. Why are they the ONLY ones finding stuff, and why are they so obsessed with bringing it back? Why do they act like they're part of the show when they talk about it on the website? I'm telling y'all these people are affiliated with playfellow workshop. And playfellow workshop itself is already a red flag.

The restoration project are the ones who EDIT the website. They purposely edited Wally out. So that's why Wally was angry in the hidden audio.

If you haven't heard it, go to welcomehomerestorationproject.net/ringring

It's scary, but he has a right to be mad. Also, since they edited him so he could no longer see us or hear us properly, that means they're onto "YOU" So they're making our job harder. That's why Wally said he's going to start communicating with us differently.

THEY ARE PISSING US AND WALLY OFF. I SEE WHY WALLY IS SO ANGRY.

These are VERY VERY interesting audios revealing more about Julie.

WARNING: Massive panic attacks, existential crisis, cursing (surprisingly) I won't spoil anymore than that, and also won't be making any theories on it. I'm overwhelmed, these are all very emotional😭

For ringring...Wally's voice is very scary :) His voice dude...holy shit. He's angry but also really scared and determined. Rightfully so...

[citrineaura]

ARE THEY SILENCING WALLY? HE'S MISSING (Edit: He's been found, see below for hidden website)

He's looking away and now it says "Go back" There's no way Wally did this (he does have some control over the website) It looks like he's being silenced. I don't think it's because this update is about Julie.

Because with past updates that were focused primarily around one neighbor, Wally was never missing. He was still there.

Why isn't he here this time...?

EDIT: Go to welcomehomerestorationproject.net/ringring

It's a hidden website. He's actually in trouble unfortunately.

Flower symbolism + How to win Floriography

Flower symbolism:

I've researched and all of the flowers on the cards represent hope, joy, beauty, happiness...all except for five:

belladonna: poison

moonwort: secrecy, knowledge

agrimony: thankfulness

daffodil: new beginnings, good luck

everlasting pea: everlasting bond

Although interesting, you actually have to use floriography code to translate the flowers into words, which gives you the hidden sites. I've found this out after I calmed down. Here's the link.

Now here's how to win the boardgame:

"Make another rainbow monster smile"

(First objective)

"Draw how you feel and if no one likes it you're out of luck"

(Still early-game, testing expression)

"Give a flower to a fellow rainbow monster"

(Collecting and sharing things = core mechanic)

"You're in charge so steal a card from your fellow rainbow monster"

(Power dynamic shift)

"All or nothing: trick another player and flip a coin. The winner gets a bouquet"

(Stakes are rising. Bouquets = points)

"Close your eyes and flock any flower card"

(Mid-game sabotage or surprise grab)

"Jump to the nearest green space"

(Advancing toward a goal)

"Rain rain come to stay, wash away another rainbow monster’s bouquet"

(Sabotage oonce people have collected a few flowers)

"Stand on your head until your next turn"

(A mid/late-game challenge. Probably a penalty or wild card)

"Spring back to the start"

(Late-game setback. Likely drawn in the final stretch)

"Congrats, hurry and plant yourself in the ground"

(Endgame. You've made it. You “plant” yourself i.e. win)

So in the game, you're a little rainbow creature (inspired by Julies siblings)

You “plant yourself” because that’s the final act of growth. That is why the game ends that way. It could be that or because the entire theme of this update is Spring hence growth. Orrr two things can be true at once.

Interesting.

[citrineaura]

We are on the same wavelength as Julie!

For the Springtime Salutations storybook, everytime the page is supposed to be turnt, like next page- instead of hearing the pages flip, you hear a phone ring instead.

I THINK this is supposed to represent Wally calling us to wake up. In the story, it's all about Frank waking Julie up and then meeting her siblings. The phone ringing is Wally, wanting us to wake up as well. Remember, "YOU" dreamt that Wally was sitting at the edge of their bed, waiting for them to pick up the phone.

Perhaps that's the connection!

And if the updates are meant to align with the moments when "YOU" are speaking to Wally, then that suggests we've been "asleep" for months too...just like Julie.

[citrineaura]

(Awakens from sleep, checks partycoffins tumblr) Omg an update is a-comin'! That means my updates are a-comin'!

Hee hee anywaysss....sit tight for upcoming analyses and theories on whatever the new update brings us! Can't wait! Cheers!

[citrineaura]

The identity of "Wally" and "WaLLy" discovered!

Remember last year when we all thought "Wally" and "WaLLy" were two different people? Nope, he's just Wally. Our Wally that we all know and love!

See, "Wally" says:

"You're looking for me. Silly. Silly."

That's just Wally playfully teasing us with the "Silly. Silly." Just as he did in the telephone audio where he said, "Hello? Hello? Hellooooo? Ha ha ha. I'm only kidding. I know you're there. Did you like my joke? I think you are going to say...yes!" Lol.

And he's just acknowledging that W is looking for him because...they are! We know this. And we're also looking for him. That's why W tells us:

And then "WaLLy" says:

"You won't write back."

This is still Wally, although now upset, that we didn't write back, which he's right! We didn't...but that's because the guestbook got closed, and W didn't write to him either because they're always paranoid.

So yeah! Identity discovered! It's the same Wally.

This completely went over my head. All he did was try to talk to us at two different times and most of us thought "Oh my gosh, a different Wally!" Really, I think "WaLLy" was spelt like that purposely by Wally so he could gain our attention- which he successfully did!

[citrineaura]

The identity of "W" and their relationship with Wally...

"W" is the person that Wally has decided to reach out to. If you want to know more about that, check out this theory from last year.

In the awayfrompryingeyes website, I missed a lot of things that seem very obvious now that I'm looking closely.

For starters, the things W is going through are directly linked and unintentionally caused by Wally but we already knew that.

What I didn’t realize is how deeply W is affected by Wally, even to the point of starting to speak like him. For example, at the end of their message on the website, W says, “Don’t forget to wave up high.” At first, this wouldn’t seem suspicious since other members of the restoration team also say this on the main website.

W is affected by everything to the point where they used to erase Wally’s messages and avoid communicating with him through the phone. Eventually, either Wally gained the ability to reach them, or W felt so guilty that they dreamt of him sitting on their bed, holding the phone, waiting for them to answer.

So why would W make sure to say "Don't forget to wave up high"? You'd think at this point they want nothing to do with the show even though they feel like:

Sure, they genuinely need to know what's going on but at the same time they have a severe disgust and fear for all the things afflicting them while trying to figure out the story behind Welcome Home's abandonment. Food for thought. No pun intended.

Next, I had an old theory that the "rot" in Wally’s Home makes it seem like the environment itself is reflective of his emotional state. Back then, I believed it to be like an echo chamber where Wally’s feelings seep into everything around him, including the people interacting with the project.

Although I still kind of believe that, I'm starting to think the tar (also?) comes from the dark influence of Playfellow Workshop, which seeped into Home, the heart of the neighborhood show. W’s attempt to uncover the truth is likely why they started to be affected.

Wally is unknowingly causing harm to W by trying to get them involved using his psychological methods- which is why W is paranoid all the time. I'd even go as far to say they might have a slight trauma bond.

Notice how Wally and Home start to be affected after gaining some sentience? They've always had it, since the narrators interact with the neighbors, but this is more like discovering something they weren't meant to know. Now that W has awareness, their home is fucked as well.

Whatever Playfellow Workshop was doing to establish the show is why everyone is having a hard time (with the exception of Sally, Julie, and Howdy- they don't seem to be badly affected at the moment)

And finally,

W says "If something happens to me, it will be like nothing had happened at all" This sounds like existential dread and the fear of being forgotten. They're saying if something bad happens specifically to them, no one would know. Ironically, that's exactly what happened with Welcome Home. Hardly anyone knew about it before W and their team members made the website. W shares the same fear as Wally; being abandoned or forgotten.

Anyway, I was thinking "W" decided to use that letter as an easy way to identify themselves for us. It could mean two things: Either it's because they're so linked with Wally that they decided W, or W is meant to stand for "Writer" since they wrote this page for us. Choose your pick.

[citrineaura]

Home: Victim or Villain? Why not both?

I always disliked the idea of Home being evil. But with this update and the last update, I can confidently say if Home is evil, I would still blame Playfellow Workshop for it. Since Wally is the star of the show, it'd make sense for them to use Home the most, right?

Whatever Playfellow Workshop was dabbling in affected Wally, and Wally affected W, like a domino effect.

That is probably why Wally told us "If you can hear me, then be quiet"

Anyway, this implies the creators/narrators of Welcome Home are still around. Well. If my theory is correct that they were involved in some dark magic to create the show- kind of like Amanda the Adventurer, then this wouldn't come off as a surprise.

By the way, I don't mean exactly like ATA, I don't believe they were sacrificing children and transferring their souls into the show but I'm almost certain they did dabble in some otherworldly things.

How else are the neighbors- specifically Wally and Eddie switching consciousness between their cartoon forms and their puppet forms? We see this happen with Wally all the time, and we've seen it happen with Eddie during the Homewarming update.

Home might be used as the source, that's why it was easy for Wally to suddenly have the ability to see through the...fourth wall I'd say? It’s almost like he’s thinking, "I literally live in the core of it all, you expect me not to know something about it?" That's why the connection is natural- mainly to him.

To me, everything is always going to be Playfellow Workshops fault. Some people have theorized Sally may be used to keep the neighbors in order, well if that is a possibility then I think Home being used is also a possibility.

[citrineaura]

Wally's Intelligence [Analysis]

With the newest Wally 2.0 plushie, Wally mentions "I wish I could re-experience the joy and merriment of being sold again" because as I said here, he wants to be let in. The more eyes, the easier it is to obtain information. [The commercials may not be associated with the actual storyline, so this is just a little observation on my end]

Wally then slowly turns around to look at us, with a knowing hint in his voice he gives us the makeship website, except- he says "makeship dot com forward slash EYES slash WALLY" I don't know if anyone caught that. But it wasn't a coincidence. It wasn't to the actual website, it was probably another page but we can't hear the rest of what he says because Howdy is talking so DANG LOUD.

A page that doesn't exist because it's not related to the lore, but I just found it funny.

You know, even if this was part of the plot, it would only further highlight Wally's intelligence. He might process things slowly (don't I know it!) but his adaptability skills are top tier! He's able to adapt to new information quickly and within the plot, he demonstrates the ability to control the website, type, and even direct viewers to new sites.

And he uses his eyes to his advantage, to teach himself, to learn beyond his world. He's an opportunist, especially when trying to contact that one special person in the Restoration Team.

Pretty sure the rest of the puppets are aware they're in a show since they sometimes openly communicate with the narrators, and have their own commercials AND Wally and Barnaby specifically even get hosted!

All of this and yet Wally is the only one reaching out and asking the real questions. So who's really smart here?

Wally is actually so intelligent, I could cry. I think it should be a lesson to not underestimate people who are slow in speech or have difficulty understanding/doing simple things (folks with mental health illness as well!) They can and will surprise you!

Wally has quite a lot of potential that I'm sure he knows he has, so all of this underestimating of his character is humorous, really.

[citrineaura]

Notice [Analysis 3-5]

Three: Ever wonder how Wally used to interact with us in the guestbook? By mail. So when people type in the book, somehow it gets delivered to the show where Eddie can pick it up in mail form and send it to Wally, to which Wally draws on it as a response...and mails it back to us. I mean look at Eddie's post office:

Look at how the postcard looks as though it's coming from the sky (notice the clouds, and look at Home in the midst! Look at the fence! As if the postcard is coming from another world OVER to Home!) Our guestbook messages were being sent from our world to theirs.

Further proof:

Four: Wally has been able to interact with the website through his eyes; that's how he gains access and is able to transport himself to do so. Before Welcome Home got popular, all he could do was message us via mail. But then he gained more eyes which allowed him to leave us links to secret sites, and draw/decorate all over the website.

Fans have even mentioned how overwhelmed he sounds in an audio because he has "soo many eyes" so that's how it happened. Wherever his eyes are, is where he is.

Similarly to how the black goo is coming from Home to our world.

Five: We already know everyone except Wally looks at each other because they're somewhat oblivious to the Restoration Team but there's something else I noticed:

In this banner, (which you can find on the media page of the site) Everyone seems to have a duo; someone they're closer to.

Poppy is looking at Sally, and Sally is looking at Poppy as they are close friends and Poppy stars in Sally's plays the most.

Julie is looking at Frank because they're best friends.

However, Frank is instead looking at Eddie because he likes him. And partners are prioritized before friendships, so Eddie is the one he decides to look at.

Eddie is looking at Frank because he likes him as well.

Howdy is looking at Eddie because although he thinks Eddie is annoying for "talking too much" he's closer to him than he is to Home.

And then both Home and Barnaby are looking at Wally. But Wally is focused on US.

Now everyone already noticed this. Home and Barnaby are very close to Wally; sometimes they're a trio. And yet Wally prefers to stare at us instead. We know they're his bestfriends, but remember when he said "YOU are my bestfriend"? So we're the priority.

He is the odd one in the neighborhood, and like I said in this theory, we are the black sheep in the restoration team. Even though we aren't in this banner, we are a duo with Wally just like everyone else has one. He's looking at us, we're looking at him.

The more you know!

Part 1 here

[citrineaura]

Notice [Analysis 1-2]

One: For the people that believe Wally is all alone, especially since he asked a guest, "Sally is that you?" Wally's neighbors are actually alive and well because he responds many times in the guestbook, saying he will ask or talk to Barnaby/Frank/Julie, etc. So the neighborhood is fine. Well it's not, but everyone's alive! They didn't abandon each other.

Two: Remember the call we make to each neighbor? The prank call audio? That was us, calling the toy phone. We already know this but,

It's just further proof the neighborhood hasn't been discarded. When we check to see if the phone works, everyone answers! And Wally knows that we're calling the neighborhood because he's watching the Restoration Team through his eyes.

Also, this is the only time we actually call him. You know how upset he gets when we fail to take his calls? This is the one and only time we have ever called him.

Dang.

Part 2 here

[citrineaura]

Ring...ring...ring... Hello? Hello? Helloooooooo~?

Hello! I am still alive! Whoop whoop!

It's been nearly 3 months since I've posted, but that's because I typically only analyze and theorize based on whenever Clown updates! So I do have some ideas in mind, but in general?

My posting schedule will be at least 85% similar to Clowns! And since Welcome Home is very high quality and takes a lot of time on his end, that also means I too, will take months to post sometimes!

Most of my posts are centered around new updates on the story. But like I said, I do have small ideas in mind and will post them meanwhile!

Remember, until you hear me again- keep your smile merry and know I'm not going anywhere!

Good day!

[citrineaura]

Eddie, Sally, and Poppy "Acting"...

Okay, whenever I feel like I'm reaching- I'm obligated to warn you beforehand just incase as you're reading, you begin to roll your eyes and think, "Why is she going this far?"

I just so happen to think that though Sally's play "Jack and the Beanstalk" may be a slice of life audio, there's something more to it.

Poppy takes on the beanstalk, while Sally portrays Jack. Sally likely assigned Poppy the role due to her height, and Sally is Jack because she enjoys being in the spotlight, as evidenced by her fondness for climbing and seeking attention.

As Eddie recounts the story, it seems the play holds symbolic meaning. The beanstalk symbolizes the neighborhood ("down below"), while escaping represents reaching the "above," potentially the real world or Playfellow Workshop.

Eddie notes that the giant chases Jack down the beanstalk, implying Playfellow Workshop's (narrators) control to keep the puppets confined to the neighborhood.

Of course, Sally is the one that wants to go "up" she originated from above afterall. Whether that's from the sky in their world, or the real world is unclear but I'm leaning more towards the former.

Lasltly, Jack cuts the beanstalk with an axe- which Sally says she's going to do. You know, I'm not going to even go into depth with that because it would be long, but I just want you to think about all those sepculations people have made about Sally being the overseer- keeping everyone in place.

I mean she has stopped all the guest comments, AND she's the first one Eddie meets before going to homewarming. I'm not saying she's an antagonist because I refuse to believe that but I'm just saying there are signs.

That's it, that's all.
