I noticed something about Frank’s Homewarming outfit…

His sweater is the exact same color as…

THE PEA!

I’ve seen theories suggesting that the pea could represent Eddie and the isolation he experienced leading up to the Homewarming party, as well as Home’s/Playfellow Workshop’s disapproval of his feelings for/relationship with Frank. While I like this theory, I’m wondering if the pea could also somehow represent Frank.

In addition to being a reminder that Home is always watching (hence the pea on the plate resembling an eye), this could be Home sending a subliminal message to Eddie that he had better leave Frank alone as if Frank is the pea on the plate. Some people have speculated that Eddie will be completely absent from the next update as he will have been taken off the show, but what if we see Eddie avoid Frank instead, perhaps even suggesting to Frank that he spend more time with Julie instead?

🐛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

This is big spoilers for the commercials in the Awayfrompryingeyes website on the Welcome Home site.

I've been saying since DAY 1 that Eddie Dear was going to be one of the most important Neighbors to pay attention too, aside from Julie, Frank, and Sally. And this update just practically confirmed it, I had this long running suspicion about Eddie Dear, and it's that I think he was one of the first besides Wally to gain sentience in a way.

I know most people believe Wally was the one who "woke" up first essentially and was able to see the reality of what they were actually living in, but I think Eddie Dear was the first of Wally's friends to actually wake up. My reasoning for this is that Eddie's "backstory" on the neighborhood page is so vague and strange compared to the other neighbors. He's the ONLY one who doesn't remember where he came from, and we see routinely throughout these updates that he's kind of the odd man out a lot of the times.

And that's not totally unusual for a kids show, but there's something about Eddie that just points to him being a lot different from the other puppets. Like that he's also the only one who's able to actually tell what time it is, as he's the only neighbor with a real watch.

And he really REALLY wants to fit so badly into the world of Welcome Home that he sticks to his job as a mailman as much as he can. But even looking at his interactions with the others, you can tell he's not quite playing the role he's been set as perfectly.

I don't think Home (the house) had anything to do with Eddie waking up, I actually think it was a combination of Eddie just not being able to mesh well with the part he has to play and the other characters breaking his routine without asking him. The moment that really shakes him is when he can hear the Narrator say "And Eddie Dear was happy." and i think that's because he really doesn't know if he is happy or not. Home is still strange because its obviously the one thing that Eddie fixates on when he first gains sentience, but I don't think its what shook him out of just being a puppet only.

Eddie is also so obviously playing along with the idea of Homewarming and doesn't actually know much about it. But he's not letting the others know this, as when he's alone is when he tells himself to just "focus on the festivities" instead of the other confusing parts of Homewarming. When he's with Poppy decorating the tree (with turkey...? and gravy...?) He just makes it seem like what they're doing is a no brainer, and something everyone does during the holidays.

But when he starts spiraling at the party, all of the things he helped decorate look strange and confusing to him. He can't focus on anything, staring into the wallpaper makes it seem worse, and the fabric of his own reality is literally being ripped at the seams (there's just an excessive amount of video tearing which I equate to Eddie's sense of sanity at the moment and just how present he really is)

It's here that Eddie finally realizes just what they're doing, and what everything really truly looks like. Eddie even tries to focus solely on Frank's face to sort of ground him, but the goddamned credits for the episode itself is playing over Frank's face and obscuring his vision. The scene itself wants to move on but Eddie is still able to see what the audience normally wouldn't be able too, and that split from his reality to ours is what makes him freak out in the end.

HOME'S HEART

With the new information that came out with the Welcome Home commercials video, I think we have been not looking into the heart imagery as much as the eye imagery that appears in Welcome Home.

I think it is important especially with the new commercial update and the heartbeats in the audio:

"Gradually, a heartbeat begins to be heard. It becomes steadily louder, faster and more insistent throughout the sequence, mixed with the static all the while. EDDIE’s breathing can be heard, steadily more panicked." I think it may have something to do with this chair as well...

They did call it Home's "Love Seat"

Is this Home's heart?

hey while on the subject of Welcome Home, I'd like to talk about something I found interesting (tl;dr at the bottom)

so the team uncovered a toy telephone, one of those where you can dial the characters and they give you a pre-recorded answer, right?? But the thing about these pre-recorded messages is that they're supposed to reply to the kid, no matter what they're saying or if they're saying anything it at all, y'know? So it is incredibly interesting that the messages shown are that of the characters responding to silence.

the person on the phone says nothing, and the characters, upon hearing nothing, respond with "hello? hello are you there"s like any other person; they start talking as their character and when it becomes clear the person on our line isn't going to respond, they end the call

And here's where it gets more interesting, and it has everything to do with Eddie Dear

So you see, all the characters have different responses to the silent call before leaving: Barnaby tells a joke, Julie invents a game, Poppy thinks she might've broken the phone and tries to fix it (unsuccessfully), and Sally assumes they have stage-fright, just to name a few examples.

But then you hear Eddie's call

He starts off with the post office jingle and when no one answers, he tries singing the jingle again, this time a longer version and he quickly runs out of breath

It is then that he thinks to himself "maybe there's no one there"

He is the ONLY CHARACTER in the cast that even CONSIDERS this; and seconds later he is the ONLY ONE that begins to QUESTION the NATURE OF THIS CALL

LOOK AT HIS DIALOGUE

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE????

The other characters assume it's a prank call or some other excuse, but Eddie is the only one who wonders; the only one who begins to contemplate like "wait, why am in a call anyway?"

add this to other Eddie events like the santa commercial and homewarming...

I think he's actually waking up. hell, who's to say he isn't already awake? and this only makes me scared of what will happen to him.

speaking of which, I read another theory earlier that said that perhaps the reason this is all happening to him is that the Playfellow Workshop was planning on removing him from the show because they felt he was "insignificant" or simply didn't add anything other than being the mailman, and they slowly started removing his presence from the media (the way he's skipped on the santa's toys commercial thing and that other episode when wally and Barnaby go around asking everyone EXCEPT Eddie what homewarming is) until they could get rid of him completely.

what do you guys think?

tl;dr = looking at the toy phone responses, it's weird that they have a line replying to silence seeing as that's not the point of the toy, and also it's weird that Eddie Dear is the only character who, out of all the other responses, is the only one to acknowledge the odd nature of the call. my theory is that Eddie might be the next (assuming Wally and/or Home to be the first ones self-aware) to wake up from the puppet illusion, paired with another theory that the company was trying to remove Eddie from the show

About the Single Pea- after watching the commercial video, I think this section on the cookbook page relates to the video itself, especially the ending:

When Eddie is handed his pea on a plate, he's surrendered his role as mailman to the other neighbors for the day. He's at Wally's homewarming party, but he's the only one without something to do. And when he consequently dissociates and gets a fourth-wall break, he's the only one seeing beyond the curtain of the puppet world. This is a set, with felt and fabric and props. Drawn out with pencils and pens. His world is real, but it's also just a story.

Eddie's being ignored prior to Homewarming was not a freak accident- whoever orchestrated everyone to forget him (Home, possibly?) was trying to make him feel like nobody needed him so they could erase him from the neighborhood and pull him into our reality.

Why would this happen? What could be so egregious with Eddie's character that his existence would be declared unnecessary?

Well, who's always seen alongside Frank, portrayed as his best friend, their shared love for nature playing off each other like a harmony that may be just friendship but may be something even deeper?

How are mailmen and entemologists related, actually? How could they ever be as compatible as flora and fauna? They simply clash too much, it's not natural, it's not right.

(though Julie is often too exuberant for the more mellow Frank, and his seriousness and logic and Eddie's earnestness and love of literature blend together perfectly; also Frank is nonbinary and Julie is genderfluid and they're gay and pan respectfully so no combination of the three is really "straight"; people aren't confined to narrow strands of fate but puppets are subject to their masters)

And yet, someone pulled Eddie back to his side, called him by his first name when they'd only been on last name terms before.

Two peas were placed close together.

(edited to fix a grammatical typo and add extra clarification at the end)

WELCOME HOME SPOILERS!!!

I wanted to put out a few theories and things i've noticed throughout these updates so here they are!!

1- Smooth.

We keep seeing Barnaby all over these commercials with the words 'Smooth' repeated multiple times like the cigarettes and the dog food commercial, it is unclear what for but we know that Home may be jealous of Barnaby, in the last update we see someone (Home??) telling Barnaby to MOVE (Idk is figuratively or literally) But in the last update with the video of Wally and Home we see Home get a bit frustrated at Barnaby and he is the only one realizing Wally space out (Home controlling Wally most likely) But immediately after Barnaby says 'Wally' Home gets out of his head and cuts the video. Something MAY happen to Barnaby and the words 'Smooth' could have some type of hint towards it since we keep seeing Barnaby the most out of everyone, even more than Wally.

2- Julie Theory

We see this image of Julie before right? Well in the recent update we see more and more people snap out of their trance, not just Frank. It is most likely JULIE is next.

We see flowers EVERYWHERE in Welcome Home, and we know that Julie can speak with the flowers, talk to them and gives them kisses (which is adorable) But maybe Julie is going to use that to her advantage to get information in the town to find out what's really happening, or might hear something from her flowers that tell her this. We see one flower with eyes already, so maybe others might have as well? And we see Julie is always on Frank's side (or usually) even agreeing with Frank on homewarming, maybe she is next or will be against everyone but i'm really confident about the flower thing lol

Just things i've noticed though so this may not be true at all though.

#welcome home #welcome home theory #julie joyful #julie welcome home #barnaby b beagle #barnaby welcome home #theory #fan theory #I wonder who will snap out of their trance next?#oh man i'm so excited for next update eeee #eeeeeeee #whoppeeee

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 Theory: Why Sally Does Not Like Eddie

I want to discuss why I think Sally does not like Eddie/isn’t friendly with him. I think Playfellow had intended to make Sally and Eddie a couple in the show. Just like how Julie and Frank are being misread intentionally as a straight couple, Playfellow’s goal with Eddie and Sally was to have them connect just enough that straightness could be assumed.

Sally knows that she is being pressured into an unwanted relationship with Eddie, thus she is intentionally making their relationship as distant as possible. We know she knows this agenda because Sally was the one to point out that Julie and Frank made a good couple. She did this to protect them.

You see, Frank and Julie are close friends on and off camera, so Playfellow presenting them as a straight couple would be extremely easy. Sally wants to protect their friendship, and she knows that the only way to do that is to lean into the lie.

In theory, Eddie and Sally should be friends at least. He obviously enjoys theater, prop making, and make up, all of which you’d assume Sally would love about him. But she keeps him at arm’s length. Why? Because she knows that any positive relationship between him and her would be twisted into them being a couple. I think Eddie is oblivious to this. He may only understand that he and Frank must remain distant when being watched, but Sally would have no reason to explain to Eddie why she doesn’t interact with him.

Something I haven’t seen talked about in the (RAPIDLY GROWING) Welcome Home fandom is this image:

And specifically the way Wally is sitting. He’s in the exact pose of Baphomet, a deity accociated with balance. Specific examples include: half male, half female, half hood, half evil, and half half human half animal. The last two stand out to me most as foreshadowing something possessing Mr. Darling.

Picture of Baphomet under cut: CW// boobies

I know a lot of people have interpreted Wally's character as this evil mastermind who just wants to cause chaos and who shouldn't be trusted, but when I listen to these "Answer" audios all I hear is a very sad and lonely person who's struggling with the unique sensation of gaining sentience for the first time.

Like this little puppet guy has woken up, and he's probably the only one of his friends who are "awake" right now. So he goes searching desperately in his world for any kind of proof that there are other people like him, people he can befriend and connect with who will know what this whole "gaining sentience" thing is like. And he does find someone! He finds "you".

But he can't talk to "you" ever, "you" never respond. He can see "you", and "you" can even see him. But neither of you can actually talk to one another, like a phone that only works one way. And like how he doesn't understand sentience, he doesn't know what's stopping "you" from talking to him. Wally to me is like a kid who's just experiencing a really new thing for the first time, and he's found someone who he can relate to possibly, but that person seemingly wants nothing to do with him.

something I noticed in Poppy and Sally’s bios

so this isn’t what I normally do but I’m abit too tired to do art stuff and I really badly wanted to share this detail.

so I was going through the bios and noticed some of them have been updated and while looking at Poppy’s bio this caught my eye

and I then checked Sally’s Bio and it’s there too.

So how we feeling about the implementation of Poppy and Sally were possibly a couple but were seen as best friends instead?

(also please tell I’m not the only person who thinks this please)
