  • Welcome Home. A childrens TV Show from the early 70's that was abruptly pulled from the public in '74. However, several decades later a group of individuals have formed The Welcome Home Restoration Team. A group dedicated to solving the mystery and recovering/archiving what remains of the strange childrens puppet series.
    Welcome Home, Neighbour.

    Oh, I didn't know Clown was feeling overwhelmed! I second the message in this video. The core audience will wait, there is no rush. You are not disappointing anyone by taking your time. That's the nature of every unfiction project, there will be activity and then there will be down time, that shall be used to explore the project and theorize about it even more. You'll be fine.

    Something I’ve not seen anybody point out about the ‘spooky Wally eyes staring at you’ image:
    Those…aren’t how Wally eyes are EVER drawn elsewhere on the pages.
    Wally’s eyes are always upturned in the centre, giving him a slightly sleepy look. Those eyes in that gif are downturned in the middle, giving a sharp, sly appearance. Considering HOW consistent this artist is at character design especially with Wally, it always struck me really hard that just THOSE eyes are different compared to every other rendition of Wally. Perhaps it signifies a different side to Wally, perhaps it isn’t Wally at all…

    As a DHMIS fan, this actually reminds me more of Candle Cove than anything else, DHMIS is a dark comedy show and doesn’t have a specific aesthetic or time period attributed to it whereas this and Candle Cove are more a spooky concept of something nostalgic that may or may not exist, giving you a lot of creative freedom to expand on, like most analog horror or creepypastas.

  • @angela.luntian
    @angela.luntian ปีที่แล้ว +10

    My first theory was that, on top of a censorship going on especially pertaining to Wally, wally and barnaby was supposed to be an implied to be gay couple. The reason why creepy stuff seem to suround wally and a little bit on barnaby in addition because the censorship happened with them the most. And whatever 3rd party whos keeping the characters alive was introduced THROUGH that censorship.
    My reasons why I suspect theyre a gay couple and censored LOL is because theyre both "best friends", while Julie and Frank are the same BUT we see a whole lot of art between these two than Wally and BB. In BB's description also, it is pointed out how much closer his relationship is with Wally, compared to Julie and Frank's descriptions.
    In one drawing with them both laying on the ground and Wally reading a book containing a picture of this same scene, Barnaby calls Wally "kid", which feels shoehorned in. Wally obviously looks to be his late 20s to 30s, about the same as Barnaby.
    Maybe the house was even a mandela effect. Maybe it was never meant to be a character at all. Maybe it was a character slotted in after by the executives as another way to censor Wally in the script phase, i.e. to replace barnaby in some scenes, etc etc.
    Home manifested itself maybe through sheer hate. And Wally seems to have accepted it after, still longing for Barnaby's companionship.
    This would mean that the phrase "dont stray too far from Home", implies that Wally is grounded from ever exploring outside from the ideas and concept preconceived for him. It doesnt only refer to physical exploration.

    • @captainweekend5276
      @captainweekend5276 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I'd usually not be inclined to agree with theories like this but honestly I think you may be on to something here. Something to consider is that neckerchiefs (especially in the way Wally wears his) has been a visual shorthand for depicting camp or gay characters for decades, and especially around the time welcome home is said to have aired. He also definitely has bedroom eyes in art with Barnaby, and whilst these elements could just be quirks of the artist given the apparent emphasis on eyes there is likely something to it.

      A couple more:
      In the prologue page arts - probably post january 2021 so canon - the first thing you see is Wally holding up a Barnaby walk-in suits. The caption is: "Look." Wally exclaimed. "I made a a a a a a a a a a a a a dog." -another hint for censorship.
      ClownIllust has confirmed that the reason why the first "episode" aired on october 11, 1969 is because it is national coming out day.
      When asked about shipping, clown was down for it BUT ALSO made a side remark about how the characters' relationships will develop throughout the arg. When asked about nsfw, he says to not post it publicly, as he doesnt know if hes comfy about it "in EARLY progress of the ARG". aside from keeping it away from childrens eyes, he doesnt seem to actually be against puppet nsfw, but the idea of it popping up "too early".

    Another thing that should be noted, Clown has stated on their various accounts such as Twitter and Tumblr that one shouldn’t take the original Welcome Home page before the main website as hard canon. They’ve stated it’s at most essentially concept art for the series, this should be obvious from things like how Wally’s outfit is noticeably different but it should be noted just in case that while the images in that original page may serve as the outline of that series, it will likely be far from the final product

    I actually quite like the art of Welcome Home because it gives the most realistic feeling that this absolutely could’ve been a popular puppet show in the early 80s or 70s that would be on prime time television. Especially, because of the wonderful colors and the puppets being human enough but, not actually having any clear racial identities which was a big thing for Sesame Street so they could allow most kids to relate which in that case inner city kids.

  • @dani.5087
    @dani.5087 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    My favorite thing about Welcome Home is how much focus isn't just on the horror aspect, but on the puppet show on the surface. I feel like it's probably tempting to cut straight to the horror chase with things like this, so the fact that the Welcome Home website is *majority* straightforward and colorful (with a full, realized cast of characters that feel like they would actually be from a children's show) with just enough wrong to lead viewers into the horror aspects of it is *chef kiss* the perfect balance. It lends it so much verisimilitude, y'know?
    The biggest contributing factor to this is for SURE the quality of the artwork. It's so, so consistently good.

My one gripe is that you're really REALLY bad about reading things verbatim: When you do recitations of the text in these pieces you often change words, add them, subtract them...

    Perhaps Home got upset when people stopped visiting and didn't want anyone to leave? Maybe Wally is trapped inside
    Also sounds like the archivists have some sort of psychic link to Home through what they were sent? And they want out?
    Just an idea but it sounds like Home wants to Welcome more people to their neighbourhood

    One of the illustrations of Clown made was of Wally with Barnaby. Barnaby looked weird, as in that he was missing his head, and his stomach was separated from his lower body. There was text, pretty spread apart but it seems like it said “Look, Wally Made a Dog,” from the looks of it, it seems like Wally made Barnaby? Yet Clown made a post of Barnaby’s mom? It’s confusing that’s for sure.

    I hope that Clown might read this, but thank you so much for the prologue page that gives CW before entering the magic circle. I'm looking forward to what the future will bring, and it's nice to know what sort of horror might show up as it gives people a safe exit if the project is too much.
    Also, this might be a big thing to take in: I think Clown has what it takes to be the next Toby Fox. 😳

      I would actually bet money on Clown creating a similarly impactful legacy because he has already spent ~5 years conceptualizing and working on this, showing the doggedness required to both continue and refine an art piece. Additionally, in my opinion, it doesn't matter how long it takes them to reach the finish line. Like we saw with Omori, if the final product is a slam dunk, then the wait is worth it.
      TLDR: LET HIM COOK!!!!!!!

  • @BlurryNova

    The art is my favorite part of this. The creator has AMAZING art. The style is absolutely beautiful. It adds so much personality to the aesthetic and characters, I can legit see this being an actual kids show. For such a creative project like this, I really do hope the creator takes the time to care for themselves, because burn out and toxic fanbases do a number at tarnishing well made creations. We can wait for more updates, there's other stories being told that we can entertain ourselves with until their ready.

    I'm convinced that Wally is the ringmaster and Barnaby is his watchdog and that all the other characters are their victims. And the letters with the info we've gotten came from Eddie. He's shown with colourful envelopes regularly. I think it's him asking for help.

    • @SomberTexas
      @SomberTexas ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think Wally is a puppet villain under the influence of Home, who ends up taking this kind of ringmaster role even though the main evil is whatever demonic entity “Home” is. I never even thought of Eddie’s envelopes!! That’s such a good idea. I haven’t thought that the other characters’ “souls” of sorts would still be in existence other than Wally (who’s like within the website kinda).

    9:57 I think Wally asking us to stay quiet might not be out of fear, but maybe desperation. Wally wants to believe that he isn't alone, so he asks if someone is there, then stay quiet, in order to assure himself that there IS someone there

  • @Notsussybaka900
    @Notsussybaka900 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know a really cool arg that sadly has mostly gone unnoticed, and I wanted to share it here so someone can see, even if you don’t cover it.
    In 2012, TV Tropes (a popular website dedicated to cataloguing media cliches) did an ARG known as The Wall Will Fall, after a Ronald Reagan quote that summarised it’s themes. I won’t spoil too much, since it has its own page on the aforementioned website as well as a recap page that explains it all in detail (along with a few broken links, a large chunk of which luckily have been archived by the Wayback Machine) but it revolves around Mr. Administrator (a character from the TV Tropes-based series Echo Chamber) finding out that the fourth wall has broken and literature characters are going to arrive through.

  • @asleepyb0i400
    @asleepyb0i400 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I have a theory that Wally is NOT the antagonist, and the reason why he wants the show to stay hidden as much as possible is for our own safety. He isn’t malicious, and seems to be the only one aware of what’s going on. I think it has something to do with Home, which I think is closer to being the antagonist.
    My theory mainly comes from the short scene with Wally telling you to stay quiet, as his quivering eyes seem to be an indicator of fear. Couple that with the goop inside Home, and the fact that he appears to be afraid/not understanding the house, I really do think his intentions are benevolent (which is a pleasant change, since most horror stories make the conscious characters out to be insidious)

    If those are wally's eyes then he's hanging upside down. The outsides of his eyes are pointing downwards, not upwards.
    I love the whole ARG genre and this one in particular, however what really struck me as amazing are the designs and colours palette. I immidiately loved all of it, which works so well for the story! Everything seems so safe and wholesome, it takes away all of your suspisions, which is perfect. You just want to like wally, you want to think he's good. That, to me, is incredibly well done, no matter what the outcome of the story is going to be.

    Everyone is a different, stronger person when they first start going to the parks. You can walk farther, get up earlier, stay up later, spend more hours in the park, etc. After the first few trips you wise up and realize that you're on vacation (if you are) and you should relax a little!

The art and resemblance to Sesame Street/Sid & Marty Krofft is a nice change of pace.

    I said this in Nightmind’s stream highlights vid but I find it so upsetting at the current trend of barely thought out mascott horror for kids being the prevalent trend in mainstream horror while stuff with passion like Monument Mythos or Local 58 or other analog projects or projects like Welcome Home with so much time and effort put in just for the basic foundation isnt held to the same level of admiration from the masses. (Now we dont need to overwhelm these creators with endless “feedback” though-as in people trying to insert their own ideas etc) but still we need to give these people the credit and love they deserve for insane stuff like this.
