Poor wally. Genuinely he's taking sleeping pills to sleep no wonder he's so drowsy all the time, HES HAVING TERRORS™️ and literally can't sleep!

He's in a constant state of EEPY!

I can only imagine he conks out sometimes when he's doing his thing during the day or the disassociating is a cause for it...

Although imagine he's just having a day with his neighbors and he just plops his head on the table and sleeps for a bit.

He was walking home and trips, falls....then stays on the ground...he fell asleep half way down.

"Eddie was happy..."

Yeah... not so sure about that one.

So... That update huh?

I honestly feel so nervous for Eddie. If anything happens to him I'll be genuinely upset... Man just wanted to relax and eat his one pea and got teleported to the backrooms.

Ok, so I’ve finally gotten to the Welcome Home update and I’ve been revising the old content along with the new content and I just noticed some things that have given me chills.

Ok so, the new update places a massive emphasis on Eddie and his isolation from the rest of the neighbourhood. He’s the single pea on the plate, the one that must be separated from the rest of the group. But the pea on the plate isn’t the only reference to Eddie’s isolation from his neighbours.

In the Halloween update there was a hidden video where you could overhear a conversation between Sally and the rest of the cast (sans Wally) during their Halloween party. Sally being the overdramatic theatre kid she is, decided to wear an obscure theatre reference for her costume and during the party we can hear Poppy and Barnaby debate what her costume is, naming her as a clown and Pinocchio respectively before Eddie speaks up naming Sally’s character as Pedrolino. Pedrolino is a character from the commedia dell’arte, an early form of theatre from the 16th century. Pedrolino is described as “the go-between, the willing servant, the wily slave” who “survives in serving others.” Now who is someone we know that is consistently the butt of the joke, referred to by one of their friends exclusively as “the mailman” and spends the entirety of Christmas holed up in their office waiting for someone to ask him to deliver a letter. Eddie. If you look at the mask the skin tone perfectly matches Eddie’s.

In every way Eddie is separated from the rest of the neighbourhood, he is placed below them. He’s the comedic relief, the clumsy forgetful mailman from which humour is derived at his expense, like when Julie insisted he could carry everyone in the neighbourhood and by the end of the story he is left alone to pick himself off the dirt.

The only character we see truly reach out to Eddie is Frank, who we see trying to snap Eddie out of his episode in the homewarming update. Now, I missed the Halloween update so I watched videos and analysis’s online to fill the gaps but when I revised older videos on the cite I discovered something that freaked the shit out of me. In the media tab of the Welcome Home website there is a song sang by Frank you can listen to called “Just so.” In this video Frank sings to Julie about how he likes things “just so” that is until Wally eventually enters the scene, now from the second Wally enters the scene there’s a slight tension(?) between him and Frank BUT when Julie leaves the room leaving them alone is when it gets freaky. Upon Julie’s departure Frank resumes his song detailing how he likes things “just so, like how the colours in a rainbow go” listing the colours red, orange, yellow, green and blue before Wally cuts in with a distorted filter “and purple?”

Frank only pauses for a second before confirming and continuing but this made me realise something.

The rainbow is shown A LOT in Welcome Home, like in every characters design but while red, orange, yellow, green and blue are shown, PURPLE IS ALWAYS EXCLUDED. And guess who’s represented by the colour purple, that’s right, EDDIE.

We know Frank’s smart, it’s like his defining character trait, I think whatever Eddie knows (or knew), Frank knows. Frank just knows to keep it to himself. (Lots of forbidden apple symbolism, particularly around Eddie, seperate tangent.) Because who else is associated with a singular pea in the latest Welcome Home update, Frank. I’m making a massive leap here but Frank has been associated with jello for a while now, is this symbolism for how he wears his role as the non-nonsense, straight man Frank Frankly like armour. Because if you look at the subtitles for Eddie’s episode during the Homewarming ads Frank is described as “still standoffish but a little more anxious” and as Eddie still doesn’t respond his “his concern starts to show through” as his tone becomes more demanding as he whispers harshly to Eddie.

This type of language makes me think Frank has a very carefully curated version of himself he shows to others, the image of the standoffish Frank Frankly only drops when he thinks something is seriously wrong. But even then that could have an innocent enough explanation, Frank only lightens up when he’s worried for his friend, but then there’s the demanding tone and harsh whispering. He’s trying to keep this on the down-low, to get Eddie to snap out of it before something or someone, notices. Wally’s(?) deliberate mention of Eddie in “Just so”, harshly disturbing the flow of the song with this theory in mind feels in every way like a threat. Do you want to end up like Eddie? No? Stay in your place.

Anyway, this was a lot of theorising but these are just the thoughts I had when I looked at the latest update, god this is long.

[homescreakingshutters]

this is an actual question

Is @partycoffin a Metallica fan because I find it very silly and peculiar that in the Master of Puppets album there's a song called "Welcome Home"...

Holy shit

The Pea

I'm very hung up on the symbolism of this dish, particularly with how it pertains to Eddie and his episode of severe emotional distress.

Eddie was all alone in his post office when we found him. Although he refused to state this outright, it was clear he was feeling excluded and forgotten by his neighbors. We have often seen him pushed to the margins of the community, only sought out for his utility to the others.

Barnaby openly delights in scaring and tormenting him, Howdy overworks him without sparing a second thought to his needs, Julie only calls upon him when she someone who's easy to drag into a game, Sally refuses to address him by name and treats his attempts at social connection with disdain, Wally and Poppy only have fleeting interactions with him, and Frank hides his burgeoning fondness behind a facade of cordial indifference.

The pea is alone, too, isolated on the stark white backdrop of the plate.

"Take care not to place them too close together." Even if there are more "peas" at this party, Eddie sits alone in Home's chair, denied the basic creature comforts of intimacy as he watches the others mingle.

The pea is also a pittance to Eddie. It is presented to him right after Sally's single, small attempt to show him goodwill, which she only bothers to do because it's a holiday.

She still does not address him by his name. The gesture, the pea, and the seat are all mere crumbs – too little, too late for a neglected outsider who struggles to make sense of the lonely, awful torment of his life in this Neighborhood, one which he cannot properly articulate for fear of sounding ungrateful.

Home stares him down from his lonely seat. Its presence is monolithic and ominous, a towering figure that only makes him feel more small and alone.

Is it intruding on his mind on purpose, trying to hurt him? Personally, I don't think so, though it still remains to be seen. His words to Frank at the end are telling, though. "I want to go home."

Whether it means to or not, Home torments him with its very being. It's both the elephant and the room. Eddie is an outsider. Eddie can't remember where he's from. Eddie sleeps in a post office after thanklessly running himself ragged every day. Home is the very reason for this holiday, and Eddie is homeless. It's staring him down because it's a symbol of everything he aches for, but cannot have.

Eddie is the single pea on Home's plate. Take care not to place him too close to anyone else.
