Wally and the Colour RED

Wally and the colour Red have an interesting relationship in Welcome Home. This is a rambling/analysis of different things I've found that makes me believe it's an important detail moving forwards with the Welcome Home Mystery!

First! Why do I think this matters?

There's a few reasons why I think this matters! First, while all the members of the cast seem to be tied to a colour, none is as focused or as consistent as Wally and the colour red! The two primary examples I'll use to cover this is one that we've had for a while, and two that we got in this update. Those being the signatures at the bottom of the guestbook, the interactable telephone, and the name graphics on the transcript page!

Interestingly, all of the cast are directly tied to a specific colour! The signatures at the bottom of the Guestpage and the colours of the "calls" on the telephone are the same for each character. This being pink for Julie, orange for Sally, yellow for Frank, green for Poppy, turquoise for Howdy, blue for Barnaby, purple for Eddie, and red for Wally. This is consistent (and possibly something to pay attention for in the future?)

Notably however, Home is signed by Wally, while the audio file for Wally's "call" recording is also called "duet" when you open it in another tab. Audio files with "duet" is a sign that Home is present. This means that red is not strictly a Wally colour, but also the colour for Home!

(if you're curious, the other audio called "duet" is Wally's little song he sings)

This is interesting, because Wally and Home are often treated as a duo, moreso than any other characters of Welcome Home. I would also like to point out another detail, one that I think ties into this tie between Wally, Home and the colour red.

The Records

All the records from Wally's hidden message ("I will help you understand neighbor, I will find a way soon.") are red! Sure, some are glitched, but they are all red. As is this record with the strange audio (has anyone decoded this yet?). This audio is directly tied to Wally, as it's called "(DRAWING?) WITH WALLY DARLING".

However the hidden one's may not just be Wally. Though they are all name the tab "answer" when opened, I'm tempted to say that "answer" is wally prompting us to answer (or, alternatively, Wally is trying to answer us, however he perceives us).

I believe that Home is there too in the audio. If you listen to all of them in a row, turning up the audio will reveal that there is a heart beat in the background. This, I want to say, is Home and not Wally, as Wally does not seem to register them. It peaks about halfway through with Neighbor, coincidentally the audio that is both glitching and is made of a series of clicks rather than voice lines.

I have seen people say that this is "Help Me" or "Hello" in morse code. I do not know which is the agreed translation is (to me it sounds like "…. . ..-.. .. -.. ---", which translates to "HEĘIDO", which is not a word. However it most resembles "…. . .-.. .-.. ---" which translates to "HELLO")

Regardless of what Home may be saying, it shows that the hidden recordings can be put together into a timeline that sounds like one recording, which means it's most likely all recorded at the same place. Ergo, Home is in the hidden recordings as well!

Other spots where red is brought up

There are other instances of red being tied to Wally. Some are obvious, like his love of apples (red ones specifically), the Wally prints/finger paint on the bottom of the guestbook, the background of the "i <3 Wally" gif/sticker in the sticker section of the site (also shared with Home. Wally's character description is also shared by home!), Wally himself in the "so-below" page, among other things. Such as the Wally themed telephone being red, despite his more iconic blue swirled hair (or blue and yellow-trimed sweater), his clothing in multiple official artworks, the Wally cereal box, and more.

(Like something I've noticed, which is that Home is the only house that's a solid colour (red!) without any pattern breaking it up, plus the most "standout" red that Wally typically wears being tied around his neck (symbolism?). Plus the "W" of Welcome Home is red! That's fun too!

There's also some... stranger ones. Such as this hidden piece of morse code found by this person, which spells out ".. -- .-. . -..", or "IM RED" when translated to english.

And more hidden ones too, that tie into the hidden staff page (I have a post breaking that down that you can find here!! I cover everything I could find plus went through the website code, if you want to know everything about the secret staff site check it out!)

There is the red safe, which has in WHRP universe lore!! I delve into this in my other post, just know that it is something that exists both in the secret website (it is what introduces you to the hidden website!) AND it exists in the WHRP world, both written about in printed emails and as a physical object seen within The Room:tm:. You may also notice everyone is represented by their original colours, except for home, who is now white (or blank?).

There's also scrap pieces of red paper spilled on the ground in The Room:tm: (that have drawn spirals), a red clock in the style of Wally's red car, a red painting of some sort on the wall of The Room:tm: (that we never get a good look at, though it may have a drawn yellow eye in the upper center), a red apple, and most importantly of all, this:

The Red Notebook

This is no ordinary notebook. This here is the notebook that the WHRP team have "loaned" the Question Answerer, also known as the Head Curator of Question Answer! according to the printed emails. This book is very important because there are multiple signs that it was written by Wally. Inside is a sketchpad attached to the lefthand interior bookcase with little paintings and a handprint suspiciously similar to that on the bottom of the GuestBook page and doodles in the styles Wally has used (spirals, finger paint smiley face, the drawn apple, etc).

(by the way, if you're interested in what the note says the most accurate translation I've found is by Tumblr user truckfreaks

"Hello,

My name doesn't matter. I am here to catalogue something I'm not sure is fully real. But it must be. I'm holding all the evidence in my hands. Pictures. Characters. Text I can barely read. It's called "Welcome Home" and it looks like it might've been a children's book? Like I said, I can't tell.

It was sopping wet when I found it. When I first reached into one of the brightly colored envelopes, my hand was already covered in some gross, [unknown - possibly “oozing”] material. It feels like antiques are always covered in some kind of grime. I'm trying to clean up what I have and do a little more digging.

There's only one name I can make out right now... Wally. Probably important, but like I said, I'll keep looking.

XOXO"

The wrap up (don't want to make this too long!)

Regardless of what you make of this, it shows that there is even more proof of Wally, not just the character but the Wally ""haunting"" the website and the Wally within the WHRP universe, all being tied to the colour red. (Quick clarification: The Wally we see in branding, clips of the show, etc are all Wally, however he isn't current Wally. He is the Wally of the past, the original Wally, the base Wallly, whatever you want to call him. Therefore I separate him from the "now" Wally. It's unconfirmed whether the Wally that's seemingly trying to communicate with us through the website is the same as the Wally that seems to be related to all the objects being sent to Question Answerer, who is the same Wally that is constantly calling them. If so, then there is only one "now" Wally. If they are separate, then there are two, possibly one in the website itself and one focusing on Question Answerer. Please note, this is all speculation).

While it's true that red is Wally's favourite colour, I believe that it's far more than just that tying Wally and the color red together. Going forwards, anything red that isn't immediately branded as a Wally related object should be considered important, at least I think so.

As for the connection between Wally and Home, both sharing the colour Red? I think this primarily is a display of how the two characters either rely on each other or are, in the vaguest of ways, tied together by fate.

Good bye for now!

"In-depth information of the Warframe mandate is forbidden to all but the Seven."

Despite this, Albrecht Entrati:

-got a hold of the Helminth virus, which is the specific strain of infestation used to make Warframes.

-made his own Warframe (Qorvex).

-time travelled to 1999 to Warframe-ify people who believed he was saving them from a plague.

Albrecht Entrati does not give a single solitary fuck, I am amazed he somehow avoided the Jade Light.

#wf tag #he practiced alchemy which was forbidden #he got a hold of warframe technology SOMEHOW #like this man should have been vaporized long ago #not to mention the orokin didnt even take his void research seriously #he should be happy they didnt give him the Javi treatment and didnt lock him up #i guess Albrecht learned from the alchemist and thats why the underground secret lab system existed #im surprised Loid didnt go grey from keeping up with all the secrets #and also smuggling shit for Albrecht #MAYBE Albrecht being a proper Orokin saved him from any repercussions but like #its not like Orokin were known for their upstanding morals LMFAO

I've watched 3 episodes of Black Sails tonight, and I had to stop myself from watching a 4th. I blame @transgods for this, but I'm not mad about it, aksjdaskdjas.

Character opinion update: I'm fucking fascinated by Anne. I need to know more about her, and fast. John is a prick, but he's an amusing one, so it works. I still hate Vane, but that's kind of the point. Mr. Guthrie sucks and I would like to stab him. I'm still invested in Flint and Silver and Billy, and love all three of them. Oh and Eleanor. I love Eleanor. She's stubborn as hell, and we all know I love stubborn characters. Especially those who are so stubborn it just might ruin them. And I hope so bad that Max gets to murder people. Yk, as a treat. She deserves the world.

And, of course, this show is providing me with entirely too much information about pirates and sailing, which is a bad thing because it only fuels my daydreaming about Rook's time as a pirate, both past and potential future.

#I haven't gotten there yet not even close but it's this show's fault that Rook might get keelhauled if Wolf gets her hands on him again.#which I must admit now I'm really hoping she does.#I'm so sorry Rook. You don't deserve this. But I'm putting you through it anyways. Well. Maybe.#morrigan.text #morrigan watches #black sails #the fact that Silver tried to pass himself off as a cook but has no idea how to cook and the fact that no one but Flint could tell...#phenomenal.#also Silver thanking Eleanor for un-cuffing him and she immediately cuffs him back to the chair...#I love Eleanor so much.#episode 5 leaves off on such a cliffhanger and I wanted to keep watching SO BAD but my headphones were about to die.#not to mention that I've already watched 3 episodes today...#goddammit. I should have known letting the pirate-obsessed person watch a show about pirates was a bad idea.

Hi! I'm interested in working through the Hatchet field stuff while I'm on break. Is there a recommended viewing order? Or can I jump in anywhere?

ahahaaaa i am SO SORRY I am just now seeing this. in my defense i caught covid about the time you sent this (and also infected my mom who does NOT do sick well) buttt if you're still looking,

tbh you can start anywhere, because while they're all related, they aren't connected--like you'll appreciate certain jokes and callbacks, but in that way I guess it's like an anthology.

Technically, the first musical is The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. If you know someone who doesn't like musicals, they might actually like this one (PROMISE ME YOU'LL THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS) It's the first introduction to Hatchetfield and there are some recurring characters in the next musical, which is Black Friday. It is about Black Friday and consumerism and the amazing line "I've met god. he had nothing nice to say about you" BITCH OMG. The most recent musical is Nerdy Prudes Must Die, and honestly imo it has the least connections to the first two, so you could probably start with that one if you wanted--again, you'll appreciate some jokes more if you've seen the other two. It does also have more Lore, but I still think you'd be fine not knowing anything about it. I don't know that much about it and it was still good, because--

---there's a whole series of web-icals? Social Distance Musicals? Whatever, it's called Nightmare Time and they dive deeper into the lore of Hatchetfield and I've never managed to watch more than the opening number of the first one (it's a sound quality issue, i just need to watch it on a laptop or something) but look to be really cool and interesting and maybe deal with the same Hatchetfield? Because the Hatchetfield in each of the musicals is...not the same one. Or it is, but different timelines. Or different dimensions. Something. I think Nightmare Time does more into that.

Basically, you could watch them all as standalones, there's not really a plot that goes through all three of them, but characters and concepts that do.

But that's the order I'd do them in. From a theatre nerd standpoint, it's also really cool to see how they've evolved musically. Just technically with how they're putting numbers together and adding vocal layers. NPMD has a few songs that i would LOVE to see the sheet music for so I could try and figure out who is singing what. Honestly the best comparison I can make is "Wait For It" from Hamilton.

Anyway I hope you enjoy them!!! If you want to shout opinions at me i am here for that :)

#the guy who didn't like musicals #nerdy prudes must die #black friday musical #black friday was my favorite until npmd #a bully singing about he knows he's going to peak in high school? unparalleled #a song about imposter syndrome?#but then black friday has ;monsters and men' which is one of my favorite songs in a musical maybe ever #and also black friday which is heartrending #and tgwdlm has 'working boys' and 'america is great again' or w/e the actual title is #anyway i have feelings about the quality of these musicals #i think they are just as deep and musically complex as hamilton #i think they should be more well known than they are #i think they should be used in theatre classes in colleges #just the very nature of how they SHOULD be performed to achieve the end goal #is not something possible on broadway. just logistically #broadway isn't meant for epic theatre. epic the movement not the scale #'sarge are you saying any one of these musicals is better than wicked?' what of it #and i love wicked!#look starkid could do broadway but broadway couldn't do starkid #hatchetfield? more like hatchetFEELS

God thinking about the dlc, it was so good but I've got so many unanswered questions

#genuinely thought brair was gonna be evil. i mean the way she was drawn in that one promotional art work. maybe it was just a red herring #also. i feel like arven should of at least known that brair was poking around his mums stuff. like it feels a little insensitive #but then again idk if brair was aware of sadas passing. or if she knew it happened in area 0 #though im pretty sure at one point kieran mentions she was looking through private stuff of sadas.#anyways idc if brairs not a villian. im just not fond of her #also what about that peach pokèmon found within the games files? wasnt it meant to be important to the lousy 3?#and kierans sudden change in behavior?#i have seen some people say that jts going to be a mythical mon. which is okay with me #anyways. i know it seems im complaining a lot . but the things i enjoy about the dlc vastly outwthe things that confused me #pokèmon #the indigo disk #pokemon dlc spoilers

everyday I wake up and I realize that Damian and Kon have a lot more in common than you think.

#maybe it's just the way I see them #like they both come from two strong lines #one known for good one known for bad #they both go through a existential crisis about who they are and they're place in the world #as well as deciding which bloodline to follow are represent #but eventually they figure out they there both lines #and who they are as people and heros #I also think they should have more comics together because of this #kon el #conner kent #damian wayne #robin #this is just how I see the characters I don't know if this is 100% right #dc #super boy

"why does adding butter to coffee make you have more energy for longer as opposed to black" you added nutritional value that's why. the human body NEEDS fat, it's why we can survive off of mostly-meat diets way better than meatless (look up rabbit starvation). Fat is fuel, and like most fats, butter provides more than just fat - it has vitamins, protein, electrolytes, cholesterol - regular coffee just doesn't have those things. (and yes, cholesterol IS good for you! Much like everything else, it's all about dosage in relation to your body's individual factors!)

Butter is probably one of the more 'palette friendly' fats you can add to coffee but mind the quality of the butter you add - coconut oil is also very nice in my personal experience. anyway yeah it doesn't give you a crash because you're actually fucking eating something and not just shoving stimulants in your brain to tell it you ate something

#also you digest the drink slower which. this is the mental illness site extended release is a known thing #if i had the money to get into coffee making as like a hobby i probably would #i love cooking #coconut oil + butter + coffee is literally just delicious tho #ohhh bulletproof coffee is for fasting . i dont care #i have an ED food is food #this blog post brought to you by. i watched some guy fuck up everything about a drink and still give his opinion on it without trying again #wait hold on nutmeg has amphetamine effects ????#oh. it does i guess but like whatever #phlyaros' nonsense #... maybe i should bust out the death wish?

going through it lately. and by it? i mean absolutely nothing actually.

#guys i need therapy #not that itll work #it wont #the last one didnt #and the ones before didnt but my mom only let me do one or two session each for those so i dont fault them #its been years tho so maybe?#idfk #i dont really care #i do #i probably do im just tired #yall know what type of tired #ugh i should really keep my vent posts to my vent blog so people dont have to see them #<- has made many vent posts here and actually not used the vent blog in months #my foot just fell asleep #yall lukcy i dont have a gun #i lied about quiting my job btw #something came up and it got complicated #it might turn out good tho #probably not #but if it does i might be able to move out and room with my oldest friend #oldest as in time known #not age (im older by like four months hehe(and like a head shorter but we dont talk about that shh))#but that would also mean rent which means philly will take a lot longer #and also ill have to look for shops in a whole other city so im putting off quiting for another month or two or three maybe #i dont like change. i dont like genuinely regularly thinking 'id rather die' to things that i really do want #tw vent #thats probably important #i dont like decisions #did you guys know Animal Jam got shut down?#i miss my necklace. everything else seems so- not barbaric but maybe unclean. which i guess is appropriate

I fucking hate my parents so much their making me take a summer class this year I tried telling them that my schedule for this summer is full and has been for a while (have to work on Others, me and an irl friend are making a short film, trying to do commission work, much more) and they won't fucking listen at all! I was hoping to get all voice lines recorded and to get like maybe half storyboards done if not more but no now with stupid fucking summer classes taking up my time I can't even do that, I had so many plans for what I was going to do for Others during the summer (like every other week comics, short one shots, either daily/every other day art) but with this now I can't fucking do it with school once again taking up time.

I don't know, probably won't be as bad as I'm thinking but it'll suck because my parents already know how hard online school was for me during covid and now they're basically trying to do it again and it sucks they say they understand but then say "but you need to learn how to do it" like no bitch I'm sorry I don't want to do drivers ed because I already know I won't drive, or that I don't want to do sign langue because I barley notice which of my fingers are up or down even when focusing on them! I fucking hate it so much because I already know I'm going to fail the class since online work is so much more harder for me to do! Once again as well with so many plans already made months ago before I knew about this

#darken talks #never guess which parent is the one in the front forcing it to me #darken's mommy issues #yup it's my mom #it's even worst seeing how there's only one last week of school #next year my mom's forcing me to get a summer job #even though I been trying to make commissions work #idk maybe I'm just not a good enough artist #maybe I just set my standards to high #I should have known they do something like this

starting around 2nd grade or so, i came up with this fantasy world with fantasy animals that can all communicate with each other, and it gradually evolved folklore and a collection of gods that i never quite decided were real or not in-universe

a key figure in said folklore was the god of darkness and ice (and cold and death etc etc) who was stripped of her powers and sealed away by the other gods for being too destructive for a few centuries, gets released by her followers, and regains her powers by gaining the following of the daughter of the 2 most powerful gods, light and life (ie the manifestation of spring), who'd hidden her in a regular village because her physical form was the same species as that of the god of darkness n ice n stuff

i haven't actively worked on anything from this world in a good while, but it came back to me a few days ago and i had the thought that eventually the dark god has a conversation with the god of plague (who's actually the manifestation of entropy and much older than any of them thought) and realizes that she's not cold or darkness or whatever, she's not a destructive force or an absence, but a manifestation of the universe itself trying to reach equilibrium

so she starts to make peace with the other gods because she no longer sees them as competitors but as a part of herself, and she now knows that even without her intervention she'll outlast them and probably see other planets arise with their own gods and she'll outlast those too, until it's just her and entropy

#anyway sealing away the “god of death” didn't stop death or cold or darkness from happening because that's entropy's job #who the other gods had misidentified as plague and was just rolling with it. entropy never overstepped its boundaries so they let it be.#a thing elementary school me thought of was ice/dark having an alliance with wind and water #now me thinks that wind and water ought to have known entropy's (and maybe ice/dark's) true identity before anyone else #i haven't decided whether fire and light should be separate entities but light/sun is the most powerful but also relatively hands-off #so life is functionally the one in charge on the planet #idk how powers work in this world because if power was linked to worship then the most powerful would be some grain god #....which i guess would also be life? huh.#i cant remember any of the gods' names but they each had 2 forms: one resembling a species from the planet and the other is a big ol dragon #elementary school me also had the idea that these stories would be told as stories in-universe #so there's a mix of stories that are mythology or legends and stories that are more historical fiction or biographical #maybe there's the people's perspective and the gods' perspective #where the people start off ignorant (eg separating grain and life) then become more aware than the gods (eg realizing ice/dark isn't evil)
