#welcome home homewarming
Text
The Homewarming audio reveals and exposes a lot about the neighbors characters. [ANALYSIS]
1.) First things first; The neighbors can interact with the narrator. But considering puppet shows usually involve the puppets interacting with the narrator, (like Sesame Street for example) I don't know if that's a big deal or not.
2.) BARNABY: (Barnaby pipes up at the Narrator.) Hey, keep it down up there! Some of us are tryin’ to do some serious cerebratin’ down here!
^As above, so below reference again.
3.) JULIE: (Whispered.) Frank’s right… Homewarming is about making sure your house is nice, cozy, and toasty. Right before I go to sleep for a very long time, I make a big nest from my bed just like I used to do back home when I was small- A lot of pillows and blankets and leaves and sticks…
^Her background when she used to live in a cave.
4.) HOWDY: Advice?! …You know I don’t got any’a that for sale, Barn! Not unless it’s to buy, buy, buy-!
^Hmmm, consumerism is what he's advocating.
5.) HOWDY: Frank?! (Howdy Scoffs loudly)
^So far, Frank is wary of Wally, Sally is blatantly disrespectful to Eddie, and now we see Howdy possibly doesn't think of Frank as a close neighbor. What's with all the animosity?
6.) HOWDY: That’s right! Trinkets even! It’s about what you give to other folks! The bigger, the shinier, and the more expensive the better! It’s about the razzle and dazzle! Go on, Barn, tell ‘em!
^We see here that Howdy is materialistic- which is odd considering he only asks for a joke in exhange for his services but then we get...this side of him.
7.) Frank said Homewarming is just a home that's warm, Howdy said it was gifts for Home. Sally says Homewarming is about the ambience, decor, and experience. Poppy says it's for dishes.
^Frank is logical- too literal, Howdy is materialistic, Sally enjoys the spotlight, and Poppy is a foodie.
8.) Wally even tossed the slice of poppy-seed ham into the flames and listened for a sound of approval
^Although it's revealed Home preferred the company of Wally and Barnaby instead of all the gifts in the end, this one specific action Wally did seemed oddly...sacrifical. Like offering food to a higher being.
I still don't think Home is an antagonist, personally. My money is still on Playfellow Workshop.
9.) WALLY: (He sounds frustrated and confused.) …How can that be.
^Apparently, Barnaby couldn't hear it but Wally's voice gets distorted when overwhelmed, just like it did when he tried speaking to YOU or...the Question-Answerer.
10.) AND! Eddie was never mentioned, not once, in this audio- which makes me think this is in correlation to the Wishbook audio recording where "Santa Claus" fails to talk about Eddie, and only Eddie.

(Fan Art! Wip)
I love the “Up On The Hometop” audio so much, and I wanted to see how Julie does a Sandy Claws look. She plays with her hair so much I figure she’d happily turn it into a big beautiful beard. I wanted to draw her paws too but it wasn’t working with the vision. I WILL draw her paws at some point!
I’m open to constructive criticism on the look! Ya think there’s any details she needs/would be cute?

Welcome Home - The Homewarming Update : A compilation of the secrets I could find
⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD!⚠️
This post is simply a compilation of all the things I could find during my exploration of the website. I'm not going to delve too much into theories. Enjoy the read!
1- Statics
Every background is now filled with statics. I tried zooming out but I couldn't find anything. Not really a secret, but still interesting to note.
2- It's a dog! Oh, and a pea!
Found in the "Official Welcome Home Cook Book" in the merchandise page. I am... A little worried about Barnaby. For those who are aware, the pea is foreshadowing for a much bigger secret.
3- Audio distortion
Surprisingly, I was only able to find one instance where the audio distorts. In the "Homewarming Storybook Record", when Wally speaks here (timestamp is 18:16), the audio gets distorted. Please let me know if you found more audio glitches on the main website!
4- The page is breathing
I was able to capture something that made my skin crawl. Look very closely at this illustration. It's... breathing. I'm unsure if any other image in the website does that too. Very troubling.
5- Lost track of time
Uh-oh! Looks like our beloved writer is losing their perception of time itself. An effect of the black substance maybe? You can find this on the News page.
6- Pixels? Smudges? Oh, and a new friend!
In The Neighboorhood page, Home now has little white pixels around him? I'm unsure if this was intentional or not. Interestingly, the secret link under Home dissapeared along with every other traces of Wally.
The logo on certain pages looks... dirty? Look closely, there are brownish stains on some letters. This doesn't appear everywhere.
And! New friend! Hello new friend!
7- Symbols!
Okay, now onto the main course. Something I think we've all noticed straight away! There's a ton of tiny little doodles splattered around the website. The doodles are all named after a letter. Here is every letter translated from their respective symbol you can find on the website :
Home : M I O A
Merchandise : P Y E R
Media : Y G
About us : A R
Stickers : E
News : T
Neighboorhood : S F N E
Wally : W
Exhibition : N
Ghestbook : W W W
Transcript : Y
"www" huh? Interesting, like a web link. At first, all of this doesn't really mean anything, until we stumble upon this!
Fascinating, it's a code! Eddie here is giving us the translation to every single doodle. Next, if we solve the question here "What does Home wear at parties?", it gives us the next clue we need. The answer is "ADDRESS". Address? Now, remember the "www" thing? That's right! We need to assemble the letters we found to make a link!
8- Away from Prying Eyes
After assembling a link, you will be able to visit a secret page. In it is by far the biggest secret in this update : https://www.awayfrompryingeyes.net/
When I tell you I lost my marbles when I discovered this. There is a lot to say here! Firstly, one thing to note is that unlike any other secrets we had found in previous updates, Wally didn't put this here. Instead, it was this mysterious "W". Go read the whole thing! It's PACKED with information!
"W" purposely put this here for US to find. W is in distress, confused and scared; this looks like a call for help.
Might or might not be important, but the word "Paranoid" here starts with a capital. It did catch my eye, so maybe it is noteworthy.
This entire phone call is absolutely fascinating and gives us answers about the lore. I highly recommend people to give it a listen : https://www.awayfrompryingeyes.net/phone
AND THIS??? OH MY GOODNESS!!! Clown is spoiling us with gifts for this Homewarming! Truly, thank you Clown and the whole WH team, you're doing such a marvelous job. Watch the whole thing here : https://www.awayfrompryingeyes.net/commercials
And what's this hidden among the commercials? Eddie! Remember how I said the pea was foreshadowing? Eddie can hear Home's heartbeat. Well, our dearest mailman doesn't look too well :( Thankfully Frank seems to be looking out for him!
_________________________
Important things to note: This update is almost completely void of any trace of Wally infesting the website. The symbols were placed by the website manager here. Wally is not there anymore. Also, Eddie is purposely left out of the main update, only to be the center of attention in the commercial compilation.
Well! That's all I managed to find for now! Please let me know in the replies if I've missed anything. Thank you for reading, and Happy Homewarming! <3
Edit : Added some new things I just noticed!

THINKING ABOUT THE WORDING HERE ESP WHEN IT COMES TO FRANK…
“STILL STANDOFFISH, BUT A LITTLE MORE ANXIOUS”
Girl wdym “still”??? I’m reaching a little with this one but it does kinda poke at everything being an Act… just bare with me.
“CONCERN STARTS TO SHOW THROUGH”
Show through??? Show through what??? What does his Concern need to fight against???
Also why is Frank whispering to him? Like it was so abrupt, the switch from “This is how I’m supposed to be talking to you” to “Hey wait man are you for real???” you KNOW? Alarm bells are definitely going off for him. It doesn’t seem like a reaction from someone who expects his friends to be helpful at all if Eddie is having a bad trip.
And this may be me overthinking but it was kinda strange how Sally vanished completely. Even in the video you could see her just pop out of frame with no explanation. It’s almost like… the script broke? The illusion of the Show fell apart? Leaving Frank and Eddie, the only ones with their foot in reality at the moment?
IDK GUYS just jotting down everything I felt during my exploration… wildest day everrr

welcome home's character-color-coding, and what it might mean going forward... the color theory :D
hello neighbors!! last night i had an epiphany... perhaps someone's made it before, but either way, it struck me, and i just have to talk about it!!
in this latest update, eddie was absent for the majority of the homewarming media -- namely, he was MIA for basically everything new on the main site. his only time to shine was on the secret site, in which he was still isolated from all of his neighbors.
this was stewing around in my brain for a while, until i remembered... until the bug update, none of the text on the site contained purple.
this is the menu on the current site -- any purple in these options was not present in the original menu: the letters just cycled through a red-orange-yellow-green-blue-pink loop. oddly enough, certain pages present on the original site -- such as 'the neighborhood!' -- had their text in the menu updated to include teal and purple, while certain pages new to the bug update -- such as 'stickers' -- lack these new colors.
not to mention how the logo, containing only the red-orange-yellow-green-blue-pink color loop, was not updated to include the new colors.
this is all worthy of note because all of our characters are color-coded! julie is pink, wally is red, sally is orange, frank is yellow, poppy is green, howdy is teal, barnaby is blue, and eddie is purple. the absence of purple in the site's typography would suggest the absence of eddie, which we have certainly received -- of course, correlation does not equal causation, but it's still an odd coincidence.
though, if we follow this to its logical conclusion, then something is also bound to happen to howdy -- for his color, teal, was also absent in the site's original text.
another odd thing is that howdy, eddie, and wally are the only neighbors in welcome home to have non-alliterative names (howdy pillar, eddie dear, wally darling). this likely has no real significance, but it could imply some tie between the three -- and, if eddie and howdy are the victims here, given their colors were originally missing, wally being roped in with them despite having his color on the site since the beginning might imply that he was the one behind what happened to them.
i guess if we wanna really go crazy, home has no color assigned to them... so does that mean they're every color? or none of them? what would the former, or the latter, imply about their fate in the story, if this color theory has any real significance? if they're every color, then they're omnipresent... the mastermind behind it all. if they're none of them, their color was always missing from the website... they're the ultimate victim. though that's going a bit overboard, no?
anyway, please tell me what you think!!! thank you, and have a nice day :)

hiiiiiii the puppets live in my brain :)
OKAY SO i don't remember where i saw some of the posts, but overall stuff is happening with censoring i think
i'm gonna ramble now:
on the art for Howdy's Holiday Hullabaloo, aunt Tooduloo and uncle Adieu's Good Friend Sue wasn't present (i for sure interpreted the three of them as poly), im fairly certain Sue is the only person in the song not present in the art (minus Barnaby since he shows up at the end)
Eddie is having a whole situation, as we've seen, and he and Frank are a thing yah? but in universe it seems like the narrators and story are pushing Frank and Julie as a couple (i think i remember Julie being confirmed as genderfluid somewhere, but it seems like she tends to present fem, and Frank being nb but seems to present a lil more masc?, so on the surface Julie and Frank could pass as a cishet couple)
back in the interview with Wally, the interviewer asks about his love-life, and seems disappointed when he doesn't understand- like he really wants Wally to have a romantic partner
it seems like something really wants to keep things from being queer? no art of Sue, trying to get rid of Eddie, pushing romance on Wally...
like am i crazy (yes) or is one of the warnings for welcome home specifically even homophobia?
also Eddie only started that whole disassociation breakdown once he relaxed, and stepped out of his Overworked Mailman role. once he relaxed and tried to be himself while in Home, things went Bad. SO where im going with this is Home might be homophobic??? or represent a homophobic household?? Eddie wasn't fitting the role he was expected to play, tried to be himself, and then Bad Things happened. A homophobic household?
HOME-OPHOBIC?
EDIT:
ALSO, so we all agree that Frank knows some things, right? okay what if he KNOWS about this? What if that's why he called Eddie "Mr. Dear"??? like yah maybe they have a thing, but like on-set Frank holds up a professional facade between them?
WHAT IF THAT'S WHAT HE'S ACTUALLY SINGING ABOUT HERE IN THE BUG-A-BYE & GOODNIGHT SONG???
some might find it sad (us)
even if i might not be able to see you (he has to act cold to Eddie on-set)
i know it's for the best, i can't keep you (he knows Home or something else will hurt Eddie if they don't fill their roles of "Mailman" and "Julie's Partner" respectively)
?????????????????????
EDIT 2:
OHMYGODS HI AGAIN
ALSO WHAT IF THAT'S WHY FRANK ONLY CALLED HIM EDDIE ONCE HE REALIZED SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG WITH HIM? HE WAS WORRIED THE WHOLE TIME BUT DIDN'T WANT TO SLIP UP AND BLOW THIER COVER UNTIL HE THOUGHT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NESECARY TO SEE IF HE WAS OKAY

The pasta box had peas on it. It had to be done. This was super fun to do! Just slapping tapes and stickers on and going with it. And utilizing the box was fun too! All in all a fun exercise!

I made this right after I saw the March update of Welcome Home. But because of the decal and the research for 1960s and 1970s home and fashion designs, it took a lot longer than I thought. I've also thought up a puppet character backstory for Stacy.
-----------------------------------
Besides being a handywoman, Stacy Flannigan was not only the newest resident of Home, but she's also the town doctor. Whenever a neighbor got injured while playing or if a sink needed fixing, Stacy would be the one to call. From what the WHRP has uncovered so far, Stacy appeared in "Welcome Home's" later years and would have been the adult figure, answering questions with a calming voice whenever a problem arose. Stacy is also one of the few characters who regularly makes contact outside of the neighborhood whether it was to consult another doctor or to catch up with her family.
Stacy loves her family and often misses them after moving to Home. But her parents and grandparents always called once a week according to one episode script and many of the items in her house were hand-me-downs from them, including her grandmother's telephone and a picture of her ancestral homeland according to her grandfather.
-----------------------------------------------------
The picture above is Stacy's first Homewarming, though she still celebrated Christmas at her house. She also transformed her garage into a workshop for when she is working as a handywoman, but has a proper clinic in town.
Welcome Home: Party Coffin/Clown Illustrations
Stacy Flannigan: Me

(Fan Art! Please do not repost!)
🐛The Pillar Family!🦋
Oh I’m so happy I got to draw these colorful worms! I figure Hiya and Biya have more kiddos than just Seeya, Latter, and Howdyadoo, but i decided to just draw who we’ve seen so far. I’m guessing Howdy is younger than Seeya and Latter considering he ain’t a butterfly yet during the Holiday Hullabaloo, so that’s why he’s a baby bean in this drawing! I also went for a 1950s style in terms of clothes and posing and I think it turned out pretty cute 🐛
Edit: I was kindly informed that Howdy mentions Seeya specifically as his little sister! Oops! Well, I think we all needed some baby Howdy regardless haha
