Welcome Home: Part 2 Update

------------------

[gretablackwell]

Right after the “let me in” line, my cat decided it was the perfect time to notify me that I hadn’t fully closed my bedroom door. He did so by slamming into it at full force and opening it, which also had the bonus effect of _making my soul temporarily leave my god damn body._

[TheSilverEgg]

Barnaby is constantly giving off the vibes of that one “autism be damned my boy can work a grill” post and I adore him for it

[sophiarose]

Had, had to share this, because my brilliant boyfriend just came up with this:
The black contaminant is like BLACK MOLD. It is organic looking. Black mold is found homes, and can make people ill. The dark trindels are coming FROM HOME.

The classic trope of: "its coming from inside the house."

[ladyrage]

that "Oh, fUCK--" realization that Wally's drawing more eyes on the audio page is killing me

[CakeMaybe]

ManlyBadassHero hearing his voice acting: "kill it with fire"
Nick Nocturne hearing his voice acting: "I don't know who this man is, I've never seen him. Sorry to this man"
Edit: Manly did not VA in this, but turns out he DID narrate the animated short Hairy Henry by the channel Manoghosts. He might have gotten over his conflicted feelings over his own work lol

[Snamus]

The VAs really nailed that friendly-but-genuine early Sesame Street style acting for the neighbours, absolutely impeccable work from everybody!

[kokocolaa]

I love Night Mind absolutely losing it at Barnaby's puns

[SchizoSchematic]

I think Wally is going to end up as our bittersweet hero in this story; a puppet who tries to break free of his restraints to stop the infection from spreading. Remember, when the Restoration Project received the lost media in the mail, it was covered in ink and paint in an attempt to destroy it. And who's our resident painter in this neighborhood?

[chickennuggies]

I feel like Barnaby actually likes Wally and is genuinely nice to him unlike the other neighbors who don’t mind Wally but don’t particularly like him either, like Barnaby is the one to notice him in all of the clips and is the first to start talking to him. I could be totally wrong tho

[dumbsterdives]

I like how "off" Wally's voice sounds. His delivery in some of the recordings sounds like he doesn't quite know how he should inflect, like whatever Wally *actually* is is stitching together its voice using the voice of Wally the character

[reiii_sama]

Julie: * tells a joke *
Barnaby: **barfing, crying, dies from cringe** - 21:00

[friendscallmebrain]

I did my own look through of the website, and I found wally trying to give us a message, each time you find Wally’s voice recordings the link bar has a word at the end. I managed to come up with
“Neighbor, I will help. I will understand soon.”

[Fizzymilkshakee]

Nightmind hears a voice that sounds just like him and his reaction is just "that was cute :)"

[RabidMiniBear]

Nick denying his involvement is classic

[The_Tired_Ghost]

It feels like Barnaby is Wally's "keeper", teaching Wally to act normal, accompanying him to the interview, and even talking directly to "Home". If anyone has an idea of what's going on I think it would be Barnaby.

[AtomicFire]

God damn, I wanna buy Julie’s VA a huge pot of tea and honey, she was killing every scene she was in

[yippeeyokai]

The most disturbing thing about Wally telling us that he can see us is the fact that he eats with his eyes.

[beanstheclown]

Barnaby is suspicious as all get out if you ask me. Has some real "socially acceptable antagonism" vibes in every single interaction.

[shadow_shine]

Hey, what if Barnaby is... Wally's caretaker? A therapy dog caretaker combo.
Makes sure he's out of the house, tries to help him connect, the two have been around each other most of the day.
Edit. The Halloween update has reinforced this for me. He's specifically checking in on Wally, even has a nickname for him, and gave him something to do. I think he really is a kind of caretaker, probably not an official one, but he's the only one actively trying to interact with Wally at the party

All the fanartists who’ve been drawing Wally this whole time are shakin’ 👁️👁️
