☆"Homophobic religious groups!? What are *you* doing here, it's not bingo night!"☆ - 9:40
Actually, something about Poppy!
Something I instantly was reminded of when seeing her are the old "accidentally trans/drag animal characters" in old Disney content. Because with many animals being better known by their male-characteristics they often ended up being depicted with those specifically male attributes, even when ment to depict a female character. That lead to things like full-antlered deers in dresses. Or bedazzled, colorful peacock ladies.
Sound familiar? 👀
While humanity trends to dress up femininity with colors and frill, it's usually quite the opposite in the bird kingdom. In most species of birds the males are the ones with colorful plumage. Meanwhiles the females are usually comparably bland, most commonly a mix of nothing but browns and... more browns.
Obviously for more interesting character designs (and because plenty of birds are ONLY know for their male representatives 🤦) more often than not the colorful design option is chosen. And again, because "colors=girl ooga-booga", this lead to many female presenting bird characters who display the male attributes of their species. So... Trans by design birds. 👍
Poppy is obviously VERY colorful and gorgeous. Knowing how bird work... She is a she who SLAYED.
You go girlypop. 💅✨
I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS DUDE 😭😭😭 THATS SO CUTE
You really do know a lot of Zoology
Oh yeaaaah that's a really good point there!
poppy says trans rights 🎉🏳️🌈
I was with you until that last sentence... Don't embarrass us please lol
The bright colors and funky characters drew me in; the compelling time period with LGBT themes, the horror, and the promise of more made me stay.
I feel like because of some of the horror shots we’ve seen, this might have puppet body horror. Body horror is my favorite kind of horror so I’m really excited for that!
Aww we all love our gay puppets❤
FR
That is what I wish to be in life
I know NOTHING about Welcome Home, but I know a lot about Muppets lore, so I have a theory on Poppy. Poppy was created as a male character for another show, before having eyelashes glued on for her being in Welcome Home.
after the recent update with that one interveiw the aroace vibe with wally is strong in my opinion, this project is so good
I personally headcanon Eddie as either gay or unlabeled queer, since he always only wears the rainbow flag, even in the pride illustrations, whereas Clown's doodles of Eddie's mom and dad show them wearing ties with the pan and bi colors, respectively, so i think it's safe to assume Eddie's family wears ties corresponding to their pride flags.
Also, thank you for mentioning that stuff about NSFW art! as someone who's both autistic and asexual, i'm so tired of being infantilized or being called "pure", and even within the communities there's people with a weird sense of superiority that is really reminiscent of homophobic and purist ideas. It's fine if someone doesn't want to see that kind of stuff, or personally finds it gross, but they shouldn't invade other people's spaces designated for that stuff and tell them how to act and think. I personally don't really seek out that kind of stuff, but I know a lot of NSFW artists that are really awesome, funny, and kind people that don't deserve that kind of shame
I'm also asexual with ADHD and a wife who is asexual and autistic. The number of times people have insinuated that our marriage is basically us just "playing house" is infuriating. If sexual intercourse is someone's measure of a relationship's quality then they've got a LOT of emotional maturing to do, and yet we're the ones being infantalized.
But yeah despite both being asexual, we both tend to read/view sexually explicit content if it is part of a fandom one of us is active in. Not wanting to physically do the deed does not impede my ability to engage with it as a concept. I still get people who will tip-toe around the absolute most well-known vanilla sexual concepts as if I'm a fucking 7-year-old though. I'm a full grown adult. Just say "fuck" I'm not going to cry and tattle on you to my mom.
Eddie is actually gay.
julie is my favorite and finding out she’s genderfuild as someone who’s afab and dresses feminine makes me SOOOO HAPPY she means the world to me!
same with the exeption of dressing very feminine. if i do dress fem its rarely VERY feminine.
i absolutely ADORE welcome home and the lgbtq representation is so SO natural!!! as someone who is slowly coming into being a feminine nb person it feels…welcoming
Here are my headcanons! Also including the canon stuff
Wally - aroace
Howdy - asexual biromantic
Sally - lesbian and nonbinary
Barnaby - pansexual
Eddie: transgender (ftm) and bisexual
Frank: nonbinary and gay
Julie: gender-fluid and omnisexual
Poppy: transgender (mtf) and lesbian
Honestly, I see as Wally being pansexual
Julie and Sally as a lesbian ship I just love them ( I personally see Wally and Julie as siblings)
Frank and Eddie definitely Canon 😉😏😏
Secretly having an bisexual oc-
I was already enjoying your video, but ngl I instantly subscribed when you started talking about how shaming people over sexuality is actually terrible. It is so refreshing to hear someone say this after dealing with constant dogpiling of queer content creators over kink and sex stuff. THANK YOU! :')
As a transmasc I think of Howdy as FtM on top of your headcanons bc I agree :]
(Also, love the video!!
My headcannons
Wally: asexual and bisexual(no preference)
Barnaby: gay
Julie: gender-fluid and bisexual
Sally:sapphic
Poppy: trans and lesbian
Howdy:pansexual
Frank:gay and non-binary
Eddie:gay
I wonder if any other characters will be confirmed queer as time goes on, I’d be so happy if one of em turns out to be panromantic asexual, I’m panace myself and I wanna have a character in a media I like who has the same identity as me
you’re right, here’s my two cents; when I first saw Wally I didn’t see a guy with a pompadour, I thought he was a lady with an updo.
poppy being transfem is really fitting, being one of the two characters that came out of an egg and all
For poppy I think she was either written as trans in the show or was male in concept art but was changed in the final version!
Eddie being a drag queen is everything
3:13 YESSSS what you wear is not specifically for one gender!!!!
My headcanon for wally is that he isFtm trans and he is bi and aromatic
Underrated account honestly
In my opinion, sally is aroace along with howdy
I’m just gonna say it here…though idk how to say it in this fanbase…but uhh
I see Wally and Julie more as having a sibling-like relationship…maybe they are siblings idk
Yeah i’m not a Julie x Wally shipper don’t @ me…cause in my main au (a au with my self insert as a puppeteer)…the reason Wally is more aware than the others is that he has the soul remnant (remaining piece of a dead soul) of a young (9 year old) boy named Micheal (who is also my self insert’s brother in this au)
I’m so excited for when they out the website back up I didn’t get to explore it because it got token down by the time I kinda got into the lore
HEADCANON TIME WJFBWB
Sally: Lesbian
Howdy: Bisexual
Barnaby:Unlabled
Wally:Agender, Unlabled
*dances*
Omg GjhsdH I'm gonna be watching your videos all day now I just love your commentary so much A
8:08
PLEASE WHATS THAT SONG CALLED??
2:23 considering the whole debate about bi-lesbians and wether or not you can be a lesbian attracted to non-binary folk, as in identify as homosexual, this just confuses me more…
I don't know either and I'm staying out of the debate lmao
I love welcome home
Eddie could very well be gay as well!! I’m an agender lesbian. I’m attracted to non men! But I wouldn’t consider myself Bi or anything like that! I think its a matter of personal preference.
I know this was one month ago but I alway’s saw Wally as Omniromantic and asexual
In regards to Poppy being trans...I think the "creators" of the show might have designed Poppy to be male as first, or at least her design seems based on male birds. Most bird species have sexual dimorphism with male/female colouration. Most female birds are NOT colourful, and male birds are. Poppy's design is very colourful, and therefore has a "male bird" body. Poppy identifying as female despite her creators (intentionally or otherwise) giving her a "male bird body" might be the closest to trans a puppet can be.
people all over tiktok are being so upset about the NSFW thing saying it was forced and inappropriate but people forget this is all fictional and theyre adults 🦫
Wally... Bill Cosby had a skit called Wally Wally.
Y'all, do we still call frank a he/him or does he go by they/them now?
7:00 I don’t know every flag so I need you to explain what that one is
@@godlysocksIsn't that flag for WLW/Sapphics?
@@neigeshusband5327 OOPS YEAH JFC i saw a different clip when i clicked the timestamp, im deleting my comment now
Sapphic flag :)
Wally is JustALittleGuyGender
Omg me and Julie are literally the same omgggg
I am an Allosaurus
5:40 He so me frfr
I’m new to lgbtq stuff so this might be a dumb question but why is the grey dude no binary but still being called he/him? I thought nonbinary was they/them.
Hi! So basically, your pronouns do not equal your gender! Frank could be nonbinary and not identify as a man, but still prefer he/him pronouns! (I understand if it's confusing, don't worry! It's a bit hard to wrap your head around it first :] )
@@godlysocks okay thx
8:02 WALLY IS A SERAIL KILLER HE BRAIN WASHED EVERYONE BRO
We have no clue if that's true yet. There's clues that something's up with Wally, but the stuff we've seen is still up for interpretation.
True
He is kinda cunty in that image tho
Dude why is every horror creator like.. *the nicest person in the world*
ikr?
Like Urbanspook?
@@PhantomRaider100the exception not the rule, much like the creator of jeepers creepers
Fr
I have no idea. But we are lucky to have people like this ❤❤❤🎉🎉
I just realized that male birds are usually the more colorful gender while female birds are more natural colors and poppy is a colorful bird I have no idea if clown intended this but I find it cute
Agree! But her being a big rainbow trans bird seems legit ngl
She is basically like a peacock.
(The colorfol one with the beutiful tail is the male)
@@thegamergrookey2268remember the bird is called a peafowl, the peacock is the male of the species as apposed to the peahen
@@IsaacMyers1the male is called the peacock...... im so immature
@@thegamergrookey2268she’s actually half flamingo and half chicken
7:12 "i almost wanna say he's straight, but he's a welcome home character" YOU WERE SO REAL FOR THIS LMFAO
Also, about barnaby, i've seen people ship him with wally. i don't really have an opinion on it, though
I saw howdy x wally
I mean that image is kinda gay ngl it’s giving Bert and Ernie
@@isaacbyrne2554 Horrendous I know.
as a hyper-feminine genderfluid person i adore julie being my representation
Same here! UNITE in the liquifying of the gender spectrum!
transfem people are epic ngl
Wait does that mean?
Not to be rude just genuinely curious as to what at even is
@@daveraschke “hyper-feminine” as in i like to dress girly, even though i still identify as genderfluid. thanks for asking :)
Frank being the straight man who is not straight is a brilliant joke, I fucking love it
Omg yeeeesss
When I first found out about Welcome Home , the severely intense gay vibes where among the first things I noticed.
Same! It just radiates lgbt energy
Felt slapped by a Skittles bag when I first saw Wally then the whole rainbow hit me like the train when I went farther into the neighborhood
same lol. there are rainbows EVERYWHERE
@@broblerone413why not? I think it's beautiful
@@average-art3222 oh yeah so do i :) i was just mentioning that they contribute significantly to the gay vibes (and i love it)
As an asexual, I see Wally as an ace-icon. However I can totally see what you mean and he's most likely omni- or panromantic.
*rainbow explosion noises*
I mean, he can be both
@@kittypeanut4102 that's... Literally what i said?
I hc him to be grayace because I’m grayace
Pan aroace it is
Oh, that’s super nice! I head-canon Wally to be asexual and biromantic! (Like me lol, except I’m a few others as well)
Thank you for speaking about the NSFW art shaming. I think the reactions people have to queer artists expressing their sexuality in non-childfriendly ways feels like an extension of cishet people labeling us as groomers and perverts for expressing our sexuality. Im a lesbian and I’ve seen a lot of instances in online spaces of people labeling lesbians as perverts when we discuss having actual sexual feelings instead of just being family friendly, I’ve even seen this mentality from other queer people which is depressing to me. I think the idea that nsfw artists, especially queer ones are all porn addicted freaks is really misguided and a lot of people who draw NSFW just do it cause they like drawing bodies and they dont think sex is a shameful thing that needs to be hidden from society
You explained that very eloquently. My thoughts exactly.
7:09
"I almost want to say he's straight but he's a Welcome Home character so... he's not. Like automatically."
I'M DEAD-
I mean the creator themselves has said on tumblr they’re leaving the sexualities up in the air so for now anyone can headcanon them as straight
Personally I think it'd be funny if Howdy were aro/ace. "I'm not interested in romance, i'm interested in sales!"
Sounds like something Howdy would say
Me too, honestly.
its so cool to see nby characters use other pronouns than just "they/them" and not just dress androgynously!
Yes! I myself am a trans person on the gender-fluid spectrum, who loves dressing exclusively androgynous-to-feminine, typically way closer to fem than the middle, who uses he/him exclusively, and I get why characters aren’t *like* like me, I’m excessively complicated when it comes to my gender identity and expression, but seeing nonbinary characters who I can relate to more really in any way is so great and makes me feel a lot better about my identity
@@PhilFromhecthat's not the proper flag for "him" though...
@@divine555 ?
Yeah it's sooooo refreshing. Nonbinary characters are always represented as androgynous and using genderneutral pronouns. As an enby myself who can't pass as androgynous and doesn't want to, I got so fed up that I decided to create my own nonbinary character who looks very feminine, clearly has female anatomy but uses he/him pronouns.
Honestly, I'm thankful to creators like Clown who portray genderqueer characters in a less stereotypical manner
@@NoxAtlas yeah! That’s part of the reason I was so happy about Frankie Stein from Monster High being made nonbinary in gen3. They’re non-binary and very very confident in that but like dressing feminine and having long hair and it makes me feel a lot more confident in myself, and I’m sure a lot of other non-binary people can relate
Thank you for the NSFW rant. I myself am very small Nsfw artist, and I do understand about Clown's first wishes of NSFW not drawn, and even stating maybe they will change thier mind on the future. I thought it was a really smart decision making that seperate tag so it didnt go combine with the Welcome Home tag.
The amount of harassment seen on nsfw artists on twitter is gross, amd trying to defend Clown even though never was forced in the first place 😭I didnt see much people speaking about this enough but im really glad you did.
Oh buddy, I understand and get where you going with and I don't like the NSFW but you can't control people's mind and their desires, this goes to show that, no one of each fandom is safe from toxicity and or more so, the freaking proshipping and the whole genre within.
You just know frank would be in the crowd screaming "THAT'S MY HUSBAND!!!" During one of Eddie's shows
My understanding of Poppy is that with birds, male birds tend to sport brighter colors but culturally people tend to equivocate brighter colors to feminine, and this I feel happens in children’s entertainment leading to females characters with the showy characteristics of males of the actual species because it looks nice.
Birdo
You know if Clown wants to add some realism to thia being a show from tbe past, we definetly need a second website where people who "grew up" with the show getting mad at the characters being queer (despote ut being obvious). Wally of course eats them later in the story.
It’s funny cause I’m gay and naturally was attached to Welcome Home’s characters before I even knew any of them were queer 😂
My headcanon
Barnaby- Bisexual
Howdy- Asexual/pan-romantic & Polyamory
Sally- Lesbian
Wally- FTM trans & pansexual
Julie- Genderfluid & bisexual
Frank- Nonbinary & gay
Eddie- Pansexual
Poppy- MTF trans & lesbian
I'm panromantic ace
These are so good^^
@@lorelaimorace-kk1xzi'm aro and gender fluid!
@@fellow_sayaker awesome
Isn't Eddie declared gay? But hey, this and your head cannon seems all goods
MY HEADCANONSSSSS:
-Wally is Omni and ace (I audibly squealed when you said you headcanon that too) and maybe trans ftm??? And uses he/him pronouns
-Julie is Genderfluid and i See her as bi (this is just my opinion) with she/they/he pronouns
-Frank is non-binary and maybe gay?? with they/he pronouns (again this is all just my opinion)
-Poppy is a Trans mtf lesbian icon, and uses she/her pronouns
-Sally gives off so much goddamn pan energy it’s not even funny and maybe she/they pronouns?
-Eddie is definitely bi and ace
-Howdy I can definitely see being demiromantic asexual
-Barnaby is a little tricky but maybe queer? And he/him pronouns?
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
(Also I’m so damn happy that there is lgbt representation in my favourite arg❤)
Those sounds great but it's really up to people, clown only done some of the characters but to the others, it's whatever. Sorry if my comment sounded rude but I'm just giving my opinions really.
@@average-art3222 yes I know, but I like giving the characters head cannons bc then if they’re correct I can get excited, and if there not I can at least say I had a good guess
Actually, on the wiki, Eddie is confirmed to be gay! It is on the trivia part, which ia mostly fun-facts about characters (which is my favourite part of the wiki)
On TV Tropes, Clown has revealed that Julie is Genderfluid and Bisexual, Poppy is Transgender and Lesbian, Frank is Non-binary and Gay, and Eddie Dear (my favorite character) is only gay.
Before I really got into the fandom, I heard from someone that Clown said Wally was bi and his relationship with Barnaby MIGHT go somewhere? But there was no source and I can't confirm it.
Wally is my fave and I'm ace though, so I hope he's ace!
I Hear a lot of things for sexuality for Wally darling such as pansexual,Omnisexual,asexual and bisexual..- also for Barnaby×Wally according to clown it was meant them to be partners but it wasn't allowed so clown added clues and slowly gave away things saying that perhaps they can become partners...Not sure but this is what I heard and read..- even if so some say they shouldn't be together because of height..though I'd see it as an ace relationship in my opinion^^
I died at the "parcelle" part 😭💀
The only thing I disagree with is the notion that Eddie HAS to be bisexual or otherwise m-spec just because he's dating Frank. Gay men and lesbians can and often do feel attraction towards nonbinary people, and plenty of enbies use gay/lesbian labels even though they date both binary and nonbinary folk.
Besides that, this video slaps, I love these gay little puppets, and the rant on NSFW content is so real. I often feel as if younger fandom members are straight up spewing puritan garbage and it gets really tiring dealing with fanpol.
I didn’t even know he was dating Frank until today. It’s official?
@@gracebowling4083 It is!
@@sacreddeer9711 Well dang! I never would’ve guessed! Good for them, they look so cute!
I honestly love the idea of Wally being asexual (romantically? Idk. Possibly demiromantic). I know lots of people HC him to Trans. BUT! I can't help but feel as though he's agender (pls don't come after me ahhh!! People say it was confirmed, but I haven't been able to find anything by Clown :') )
Howdy...is a toughie...I think he maybe could possibly be Pan...? Or at least Bi-curious. (I love the idea of him being demi! It just makes sense)
Barnaby. Barnaby. Barnaby. I feel as tho he is def aroace. He's jus not a relationship type of guy. Friends, ofc! Relationships, nahhh!
Sally is definitely lesbian, if not lesbian, at least gynosexual(someone who is attracted to females/feminninity; regardless of whether they were born female or not) I do not think she is cis. Possibly a demigirl.
Some of these seem redundant, and I'm sorry!! I just projected a little because I'm in the ace spectrum and love seeing representation of ace/aro characters. I didn't mean for this to turn into a tangent :')
TH-camr/julie on Genderfluidity = its still okay to dress as either gender and not be tht gender
Me: FUCKING THANK YOU i wear fem nb and fem clothes but i usually (in my gender fluidity) go by they and he.
Like femme clothes. Are just usually softer, easier on my bust (which is large and i dont have a binder/dont think i could wear one very long/dont go out pretty much ever lol)
And just more colorful sometimes to!
And JEANS THE TEXTURE OF JEANS and most stiff pants i dislike verily. =.= in comparison to soft pants, leggings, shorts, skirts, and sweatpants type things
Just AHHHHHH when people ask about me in heels and showing off more femme and i still say im He or They and theyre like "??????" And i just roll my eyes internally unless they ask me rudely xD
most people just seemed confused/curious or fascinated by my "uniqueness" and how open i am about it. Lmao
BUT THANK U i had an argument with my roomie about being under the nb profile and calling myself "gay" since i like male presenting people most (tho he thinks since i rarely like anyone woth not male anatomy/male presenting and im afab it doesnt count as gay. I say otherwise. And i do like some fem characters not that i HAVE to i realize. Also most characters i like ARENT HUMAN IN THE FORST PLACE lmao)
And also being he/they mainly in my genderfluidness and wearing fem like clothes like just GAHHH thank u very fucking much.
I can be a boy or a them in a dress. Tis very comfy. Fuck pants sometimes unless theyre shorts or leggings usually cuz those dont bug my legs
(Sorry if its rambly just felt nice hearing tht. Im on mobile, slightly not sober and also just been watchinf welcome home update content the last few hours after checking out the website all evening yesterday. So im a little extra scatterbrained.
Okay ill continue the video. Sorry i suck at grammar. No im an american born and raised. My grammar just sucks im sorry.
Really nice vid, i got a lot of info i didn't knew about the characters, particularly Julie being gender fluid, i love seeing such an LGBT+ positive project like welcome home, thats why i got very obsessed with it so quickly ❤🏳️🌈
In my personal headcanons:
Sally is a lesbian and shes definitely dating Julie.
I think howdy is aro ace or maybe just ace.
I think the man himself, wally is either gay or pan, but ace.
And lastly i think that Barnaby is gay,
he's my boyfriend and not even clown can convince me otherwise💙
me personally, i think Wally is aroace! not only because i’m aroace too but also because of the recent update. when the interviewer asks Wally if he has a love life he just says “No. I don’t know. I love all my friends.” which feels very aroace-y to me! but again just a headcanon :]
a personal headcannon i have for your talk about the time period and how its not exactly lgbtq+ friendly, (again personal headcannon, not cannon at all) Frank and Julie were designed to be like, *together* that's what was in every episode and such, but the creators kinda pushed how far they could go with Eddie and Frank as well. like quick hand touches and such, just treading the waters ya know? :]
again, personal headcannon, please do not rip me to shreds-
I love this video so much!!!!! I’m so happy to get some more clarification on clowns feelings on NSFW art as there has been a lot of miss information and outrage about it. And as an autistic and NSFW artist all the hate around it kind of broke my heart. I’m glad that no one forced clown to change their mind, and they change their mind on their own accord. And I respect their decision, and I am very happy that they came up with a clever solution. What breaks my heart is all the outrage and infantilization around clowns decision. Insisting that it couldn’t have possibly just been them changing their mind. I hope eventually people will just stop and except that this is clowns decision to make no one else’s they get to decide what people are allowed and not allowed to do with their characters. I also hope that people stop infantilizing clown and autistic people in general. There are some of us that like horny stuff and some of us that don’t, but it has nothing to do with our autism. It’s all up to preference and sexual orientation and that’s it.
Oh, also, here our my queer head cannons for the welcome home characters ((really got carried away with the NSFW topic 😅))
Wally: I see him as being bisexual ((with a strong preference towards men and masculine, presenting people)) I can also totally see him being a Demi boy. IDK I see him rocking the they/he pronouns with a enby man Energy.
Julie: did not know she was gender fluid. That is so fucking cool yay another win for us Gender fluid fellows. ((could totally see her being the type of gender fluid person who only identifies as a woman sometimes in a non-binary person other times. ((I identify as something similar as I’m a man sometimes and an enby other times.)) tho I also love the idea of him being a guy, sometimes who loves wearing dresses.)) could totally see her rocking any pronouns. I accept the possible canon of her being bi but personally I’ve always seen her as being a lesbian. ((i’m someone who ships them with Sally sooooo 👀))
Frank: we have another win!!!!also did not know that Frank is non-binary. I love it so much!!! I might start using they/them pronouns for Frank in maybe some aus, though I do still like the he/him pronouns as well ((As enbys don’t need to use they/them pronouns if they don’t want to)) maybe I’ll start head Canoning him with he/they pronouns IDK. will have to see. : ) also, I can personally see Frank using the label as gay to describe. His sexuality as more of just a general term. To convey that he’s anything but straight. I don’t know that just feels Frank to me.
Eddy: I personally like the head cannon Eddy is being pansexual over bisexual. I don’t know just feels right to me maybe it’s just because the flag goes with his color palette better IDK. Also, if that drag queen thing is true, I will be in heaven. Words cannot describe how much I love that thought and hope it’s Canon. Well Time to include Eddy‘s drag persona in my au now.
Poppy: Love that she’s trans. Personally, I don’t really have a big opinion on Poppy in general haven’t read up about her that much. But I’m just happy to have some trans representation and also some lesbian representation. That’s always nice. I also always love when animal characters with obvious sexual dimorphism are trans. like how I love making trans man cow characters. Because their transness is on full display and it’s harder for people to deny that they’re trans ((because we all know that cis people like to do that shit 😒)) also, it just makes for really cool designs. ((Also, I was going to go on this whole tangent about how the situation could be that the character of Poppy is trans but the physical puppet isn’t like she was written to be a trans character and her puppet was made with her preferred gender in mind. But honestly, I like the Way clown explained it better 😅. Also, very curious that they mentioned Wally during that trans puppet section along with Frank and Poppy who we know are canonically, trans 👀))
Howdy: honestly, I don’t know I can see a lot of things working. I like your head canon, I also like the idea of him just being aro ace and being big on friendship. I also can see this man 100% being gay or I can just see him using the label of queer and when someone asks him about his sexual orientation he’s just like Yes. Also, don’t have a big opinion on howdy in general love his design I think he’s charming. Definitely need to reread poppy and his descriptions again to refresh my memory on them.
Sally: 100% see her as a lesbian as I’ve mentioned before I totally ship her and Julie. They are a sapphic power couple. And they will take over the world 😈
Barnaby: I see Barnaby as being bisexual personally. ((maybe part of it is just because I want this funny man in our community)) another part of it could be that I do sometimes like to ship him with Wally, but other times I just like to portray them as friends it really just depends.
In conclusion, welcome home is queer as hell and I love it. thank you for coming to my extremely long rant on my silly head cannons for these puppets.
the way i had to actually stop the video once u called wally a little gumdrop
I AM SO ILL I LOVE WALLY WAY TOO MUCH - ITS THE FACT I LITERALLY STARTED TO TEAR UP AND STIM WHEN U CALLED HIM A LITTLE GUMDROP THATS SO CUTE 💔💔💔💔💔
Same and I love him too cause he really is!! 😭🥹❤️
I just hope people don’t get too crazy with headcanons because these aren’t characters owned by a huge company, they’re characters that are owned by one person working on a passion project for free. I’ve seen people go insane with headcanons and not listen to other’s opinions and consider their’s “canon”

4:23 I freaking love that there is this long complex and well worded reason why and I just thought ”they’re puppets. They aren’t real, they could be anything the show creators want them to be.” Idk I find it hilarious
I really respect you saying that stuff about the NSFW thing. I was so pissed off when people would harass others for making art and not posting it and babying Clown- as an autistic person myself I wholeheartedly agreed with you about the babying autistic people part because I’ve had that happen to me too and it’s annoying!!!
Also- here are my Welcome Home headcanons-
Wally in my opinion is Bisexual and cis gender male
Julie is pansexual and identifies as a girl (also- I’m a Wally x Julie shipper and I head canon their in a relationship don’t hate me lol)
Eddie is Gay
Frank is non-binary and gay
Sally is lesbian asf
Howdy is straight (I HATE THIS CATERPILLAR SO IM NOT BOTHERING WITH ANY HEAD CANON FOR HIM LMAO)
Poppy is trans lesbian
Barnaby is- idk. Hot Dog sexual idk
Why you hate Howdy?
Ikr
Hot Dog sexual 💀
Imagine Barnaby trying to Rizz up a freaking hot dog 😭
@@Alexandra_Westheartidk something about him just grinds my gears lol
Julie is canonically genderfluid and bisexual.
I agree Madam Parcell is the Drag Name for Eddie.
Literally I died. Fucking GENUIS and should be cannon xD
Just now finding out Julie is gender fluid, and its okay to dress girly and be gender fluid. I just accepted I was a girl XD
i see wally as a puppet who just doesn’t have any romantic attraction to anyone at all. but i forget the name 🫶🏾 but the head cannons of people drawing wally as this super romantic character just doesn’t fit to me 💀 idk maybe i’m weird
I see Wally as asexual, but not aromatic. Like in the interview update, when someone asks him about romance, he stutters a little but quickly deflects, saying he loves all his friends. But that's just my headcanon
Honestly, headcanoning Wally as omnisexual works well with the amount of fans pining for him
8:07 also! Just sharing my own personal headcanon but i feel like wally feels like a very aroace type of character as of chapter 2. At the very least we know that he loves his friends and doesn't feel the need to form romantic attractions and even if it is a personal headcanon, it feels very cool seeing that.
From the recent update, specifically because of the live interview, I hc wally as aro and maybe ace and I hope that comes out as true. His lack of understanding romantic love and instead clearly favoring his platonic love of his friends really comes off as aro to me (As an aro person). I got really excited when he brushed off the love life question and made it clear that his love is towards his friends!!! I hope that angle of 'you can be happy without love' gets explored more in the series and there's more explorations how wally deals with people pestering him about romance and the like. Also, I'm open to the idea of Eddie being gay as well because you can be gay/lesbian and be attracted to nonbinary people all the same.
My headcanon for Barnaby is that he's pan. This is because I think the color scheme of his vest has a close resemblance to the pan flag, if you really think about it. ❤💛💙
for Poppy she can definitly be seen as MtF trans because her tail and comb are very long wich is usually the case with roosters
but it happened (and still does) a lot that people design their animal characters just with the general idea of "this is the animal and now I decide on the gender"
just like how you can make a dog character not look like any specific breed but still call them a very specific breed (see Snoopy from the Peanuts)
or having a cow with udders be a male cow (Otis from Barnyard) ect ect
For fun, I'm gonna share my own personal Barnaby sexuality headcanons (and probably accidentally do a mini analysis)
So, label wise, I think Barnaby would either use the label "queer" or not use labels at all because IN HIS PERSONAL CASE, he'd be too lazy to use any other labels. He's just attracted to people. That's it. Although, regarding the idea of being involved in romance, I'm not sure it'd actual be something that'd take up much space in his mind unless he gained a crush on someone. This is just based on my view of him, but he doesn't really seem like the type who'd think about romance. He's got a busy schedule of making jokes, sleeping, being a layabout, hanging out with Wally, ETC. But that's just my opinion.
I love your video. Thanks for sharing it. I feel Barnaby in regards to his sexuality could be seen as a “Bear” a hairy big gay male.
IM SO GLAD YOU TOUCHED ON THE NSFW STUFF god i was there when the tag first came out and i saw both kids and OTHER ADULTS tellin ppl to k*ll themselves and it was disgusting
ALSO not entirely impossible that Poppy couldve conversed directly w the creators of the show bc my theory is the world of welcome home is a parallel dimension 👀👀👀👀👀
i just realized u called wally omnisexual which i can agree w bc i headcanon him as pan like myself but //omg// it took me too long to realize that bc of the reverb /lh
FINALLY someone who agrees with me! In a TikTok post I made I said that howdy was asexual and I think you just confirmed that for me❤🤭
i saw a theory that Julie's horns match what gender she's feeling since in many images she has different sized horns
My headcanons for the not canon ones
Wally - Pan and Genderqueer (he'll wear and present how he wants but sticks to he\him)
Barnaby - Unlabeled queer (he doesn't think about it or care, he loves who he loves) (him x Wally cause yes)
Howdy - Gay and Demisexual (Frank\Eddie\Howdy ftw)
Sally - The most sapphic gal ever. (Julie's GF woo!)
They really said “be gay, do crime.”
YOU'RE HEADCANNON FOR WALLY IS SO RIGHT THO!!!!
he'd love anybody no matter their gender or gender identity, he'd be so accepting of everyone X3
Fun fact: patriges are cousins of peacocks, phesants, and chickens, males of the family have bightly colored and ornate plumage, where the hens are more dull with painer plumage, so poppy having having bright plumage but also be she/her, makes sence. Also there is a small mutation where female birds will develope masculin plumage due to to much testosterone.
AND, Welcome Home came out on the 11th of October.
which just so happens to be National Coming Out Day.
*it was gay from the start*
As a queer autistic person it's amazing to see the character diversity in Welcome Home :D thanks for sharing the info and your own headcanons too - I'd share mine but I don't really have any xDD
You don't have to be bisexual to like non binary people, just saying Eddie could still be gay while liking Frank.❤
Can't wait to see Welcome at 100% with my bi googly eyed self 😁
Also i love the tone of this video, its very headcanony and loose and open minded! I love the ideas presented here
i like the idea of sally being pan, as for wally, i also like the idea of him being pan, possibly panromantic asexual because i'm personally disgusted by the idea of wally being horney for anyone, he's just so pure🥺(to an extent)
I think for me, my headcannons would be that every character that hasn’t had their sexuality confirmed are aromantic and asexual. Idk why.
