#This... was a lot

[yanderegrizzsworld]

I have an idea for you:

you and the new neighbor, except you're a human trying to make it back to the world. Yandere Wally is in charge of erasing everyone's memories if they don't follow the script... but what does he do when he doesn't follow his own script, feeling new things like love and hate for the reader. As the reader starts asking questions and looking for answers where the other neighbors are also asking themselves... What would happen?

I'm not sure if you meant this as just an idea/concept or a request, so I went with the former. Though if you meant to send this as a request pls lmk

Wally Darling erasing others memories for going off the script yet he branches off his own is quite a fascinating idea! I'm sure Wally is very familiar with the feeling of love (though strictly platonic) & while feeling said love but mixed with this odd pit in his stomach, one that twists & turns in such a way that it almost becomes painful, honestly, he doesn't know what to make of it or what it could be called! He doesn't like this feeling & would genuinely believe he's fallen ill, he's supposed to be the friendliest neighbor after all!

I feel like (if I remember correctly!) since Wally is implied to be aware of being in a show which would mean he's very likely aware of the scripts that he whole-heartedly believes must be followed, that no one is allowed to even entertain the idea of going off the script. Where with this, Wally could realistically just immediately seek to our memories, even those of us knowing we aren't apart of his world. Yet I'd like to imagine a route where he doesn't, of which could be of many different reasons/explanations.

For example, he might at first think that us asking questions is merely a effect from the initial shock from being transported to his world & views it has something he could ignore, trusting it will fade away. Another could be that maybe, if he desired to know/understand his world beyond what he knows (due to his awareness), he'd be too caught up in his joy of a new neighbor that he doesn't acknowledge us questioning his world.

Though no matter what, the moment he picks up on his friends also beginning to ask questions because of us is when he might start to ponder if he should erase our memories alongside his friends. While on one hand, he doesn't want to lose this opportunity to learn & grasp at this world that may not even exist to begin with & to have someone who could potentially explain something to him, anything to him. Yet on the other hand, he worries that the questions might also cause issues down the line & not just from his friends asking questions, but asks himself if in this world he's known all his life, he & the others aren't supposed to question anything. They aren't supposed to ask why they live in a seemingly secluded forest, far from other cities & people, why Home is even sentient to begin with & why it's the only sentient house in the neighborhood. Asking questions isn't part of the script, what if questioning leads to a change? A change that might (hypothetically) distort the neighborhood in a way that it becomes unrecognizable, he couldn't bare do that to his neighbors! But he doesn't want to erase your memories either, Wally (& us, to an extent) is going to put himself into an existential crisis.

I 💯 adore this idea dear! The potential of such existential thriller & self-questioning about not just their world & by extension, their reality, but also about themselves, what are they beyond atoms (fleece?) that seemingly only exist to entertain a high power no one could theoretically even begin to comprehend sounds almost philosophical (but not also, kinda)

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

“here’s what we know about the uhc shooter”

WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

i know it's hard. but i so firmly believe the strongest antidote to loneliness is reaching out first. and continuing to reach out. again and again and again. excise any scrap of shame you hold about being the person who texts first or pitches the plan or asks to get lunch. everyone is tired and busy and struggling. and afraid of feeling unwanted and unimportant. don't let the people you love feel that way. reach out first. don't be a ghost in your own life.
