Hunt vs. Hunted AU

(a.k.a. Vampire Wally AU)

Meet the Kardashians—i mean the Pillars

Part 1 || 2 || 3

Character line-up (Oldest to youngest)

So a bit of character Info:

There were more of them, but given the dangers of the monster hunter's profession, theyre the only ones left.

Hannah Pillar

She isn't the actual eldest sibling of the bunch, but among those who are still alive and somewhat sane, she is the oldest. A former mercenary whose main weapons were firearms. She was quite successful in her career but a traumatic incident happened that led to her not being able to weild a gun anymore. She eventually got hired as a desk worker in H.A. (Hunter's Assossiation) mainly handing out missions or intel to monster hunters.

She has a stable relationship with all of her siblings, sometimes the person everyone tells their worries to. She's nutruing and mature, but can also be quite cold and strict when need be. She is also often apathetic to things around her, something that got carried over even after she stopped being a hunter.

Harvey Pillar

Acting second oldest, Harvey is the genius of the group, or so he constantly claims himself to be. There is truth to what he says though since he works as a researcher in H.A. where he gathers information about the various mythical creatures the company had captured. Once, he used to admire this type of work until witnessing a thing or two which led him to be quite nihilistic. He's mainly just in it for the bragging rights and the money now.

Complete drama queen. Heidonistic and arrogant, he can come off as an asshole once he opens his mouth. Hannah keeps him in check most of the time. He does try to act like a big brother but struggles to be sincere about anything because he thinks it's a weakness. Very insecure, easily gets envious, especially of Howdy. For as vocal as he is, he does have many skeletons in his closet.

Howdy Pillar

A very popular hunter that is crowned The Hero of the Century, succeeding his late older brother, Howard Pillar. This is all due to his countless instances of saving people from dangerous monsters, especially feral vampires. Add this and his family background, he was made the H.A.'s face man, appearing in many interviews and posters for the company. He is quite the busy man, and Hannah usually acts as his manager, helping him with his packed schedule.

Howdy is closest with Hannah, but he also enjoys the banters he gets with Harvey. Charismatic and witty, many would think he is a perfect person, the ideal hero. The reality of it though is that Howdy is only in it for the revenge of his deceased siblings. While he smiles and acts relaxed in public, he is otherwise serious and gruff. Doesnt trust easy either. He also doesnt like how the media portrays him and would try to avoid being detected by anybody while he's on the job.

Here's a sketch lol

Honey Pillar

The youngest of the group. She is the black sheep of the family, refusing to associate with H.A. or monster hunting in general, and choosing a career as an actress instead. Despite the controversy that came with this decision, Honey ended up becoming famous because of her alluring personality on the screen.

Aside from Hannah, she despises everyone. She hates Howdy especially because of an instance that lead to her twin sister's death and her loss of 2 arms. She hates Harvey a little less but prefers not talking to him at all. Honey is a drama queen herself, but in a less direct way.

RUN GAY BOY!

[starygalaxy784]

swapped miraculous au

so it is basically my other one but instead your ladybug or chat noir and wally is the kwami

So in this one I see it as y\n is ladybug\chat noir and wally is plagg\tikki but as your new kwami he slowly gets more and more possessive of you,falling very fawn of you and starts to try and mess up your friend ship with the other hero

I picture it like

tikki\wally

y\n\ladybug(tho they can be either gender)

Howdy\chat noir(since the fandom agreed they fight a lot because of wally stealing apples)

Instead of cookies you can feed him apple slices to charge back energy and I haven't picked who to be plagg yet but home would be the miraculous box

Bug-a-Bye and Goodnight

As always, I have edits:

This will make more sense at the end.

I came across some theories about this song, and wanted to look at it in depth.

We are reading with the understanding that he may be referring to Eddie.

[A gentle piano and bassoon track begins playing.]

The sun is low, it’s cold and dark,— end of season, but could also be a reference to night and danger after dark

Just wind and snow, I must remark,

The bugs all head to slumberland,—interesting given the use of toyland, also the commercial about remderem/insomnia (some must sleep but Wally is in the opposite state. Too aware?), but could be a reference to death, like “the big sleep”

Some might find it sad, but I understand,—on face value, he will miss his friends, but knows that it is inevitable.

Even if I might not be able to see you,—can’t see Eddie because he is gone/buried

I know it’s for the best, I can’t keep you,—Eddie staying would lead to serious consequences for Eddie

It’s time for all of you to get some rest,—after what we saw Eddie go through, I bet he would be better in a different state

To tuck you all into your arthropod nests,—bug stuff; also Julie's hibernation?

At this point, those last few lines could refer to a sort of death for Eddie. Almost like frank can preserve him in some way by giving him a death in this universe. If we are talking puppet world, which we did see in commercials, most of Eddie’s anxiety happened in that state. So, can Frank give Eddie a suspended or death like state in one of the layers of reality and he is preserved in storybook world or our real world?

With one last check, that nothing is amiss,

I can see you safe into your chrysalis,—this reads that he will put Eddie into a different state of being that he can come back from. The coming back is my interpretation only at this point because I assume frank wouldn’t choose death for him or would for sure be hurt by Eddie’s death. Things would have to be very bad if true death is a better option for Eddie.

Also, it hearkens back to the horror butterfly image. Another also, caterpillar to butterfly, an insinuation of emedging into a new form. I don’t see allusions to Howdy in here, but I suppose it is possible that this could refer to more than one neighbor and Frank is taking them all out.

As you snuggle down into your dirt,—reference to being buried?

I want to assure you that I won’t be hurt.

This clarifies that it is a sleeping type state, not death. Ok, here is we’re Eddie’s Halloween costume comes in. Frankenstein, changed from the Scarecrow in earlier art (presumably from wizard of oz). Interesting thing about scarecrow vs. Frankenstein is that we see scarecrow taken apart during that film and Frankenstein is famously assembled from parts of different people. Interestinger is the fact that they are both afraid of fire. (I love that Young Frankenstein shows up more than the original in a search.)

Frankenstein (and scarecrow) are both put back together, but for Frankenstein it seems more of a new being, not just a reassembling. Frankenstein (aka frankenstein’s monster) is a thinking, speaking individual that was horrified at the situation he was in. Frankenstein in the book murders to punish his creator for the immorality of creating him and the resulting loneliness that the monster feels. As such, the choice is very interesting. If the puppets of welcome home come to be aware or sentient, I wonder how they would feel about Ronald Dorelaine or their situation?

If the movie version is the focus of Eddie’s costume choice, then he would be a potentially thinking and feeling being (he is afraid of fire), but without further evidence we don’t know his thoughts.

Scarecrow is a guy without a brain, with the power of speech, so a kind of opposite. I think they all end up just needing to be confident, which is why some shyster from the Midwest is able to help. This almost seems to be more in tune with Eddie's character--Eddie has a tendency to appear kind of ditsy, is constantly being dismissed by others. In the end, we find out he is actually smart but lacks confidence. I can see that being true for Eddie as well.

If I had to pick out a character for Frank, it would be the Tin Man. Poppy is the Cowardly Lion, Wally is Dorothy. Home is Home. There are more parallels here than I was expecting. Howdy is the Wizard, Julie can be Glenda, and the Wicked Witch...is kind of no one? Sally can be a flying monkey. She works my nerve. Also, the whole spying thing was done by the monkeys in the movie.

But now that I am thinking about it, this comparison makes a lot of sense, in terms of the complex relationships, as well as the levels of reality that you find in Wizard of Oz. A big event leads to a shift in the understanding of reality, and the lead finds themselves in a very colorful world that doesn't much resemble their own, but is very flashy, has songs, beloved characters, and a sense of danger. There are some things when thought about in the context of real life, or the black and white portion of Wizard of Oz, would be truly frightening.

Of course, Wizard of Oz shares a lot of parallels with Alice in Wonderland, which also seems somewhat related. In terms of source material, the Wizard of Oz is considered to be a parable that expresses the thoughts about US economic policy in the 1890's. This is a theory that you can read more about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_interpretations_of_The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz

It isn't super related, and not everyone believes that this is the case. However, it seems to be a very American type story, no matter what you believe, that touches on the experience of normal people while much larger forces lie and fuck around with everything.

As the holidays begin to approach,

I gently kiss, each and every roach,—kisses for Eddie. We have seen a realistic roach on the secret page with the mishmash of one script where Wally is deciding what to draw

I made sure to keep, my garden cozy,

So you can safely sleep, in fallen posies,—this whole stanza shows a desire to and promise of a quiet death and maybe even a maintained grave. I looked up posies to see where Eddie could potentially be buried. Posies refer to a nosegay, or small bouquet of flowers. It was a Victorian secret code thing, a way to declare love or even reject people based on flower and color. One that sticks with us in the form of red roses signifying love. On the map, there is a cluster of yellow flowers to the side of Frank’s house. Not sure this counts as his garden, since it is on the other side of the house. Julie has a group of flowers behind her house, but once again, not his garden. No fallen flowers that I can ID.

When googling posey, this is what comes up. I felt that there was a flower called a posey, and these do look like the big yellow flowers by Frank’s house. If any flowers fall in updates, I am going to assume someone is buried there.

There is also the ring around the roses rhyme, which could relate, but I don’t really see a correlation.

It’s time to get comfortable in your honeycomb,

take your winter intermission in your garden loam,—dirt, burying again

neatly nestled from the cold in roots and rhi-ya-zomes, — cozy dead

sleeping side by side under stately stones,—2 dead? Headstones is the link I make there--OK, now look at the pic! (I know, it's a reach.)

…And I’ll be inside of my home,—frank is staying to oversee something. It reads like calming the person who will die. This seems to bolster that arguments that I addressed in the post about bugs on the previous website, that Frank is working against, or at least parallel to Wally. With the bugs, the whispering to Eddie, and using his first name, I think it is reasonable to suggest that Frank is working against Wally and/or Home.

Another potential clue is the hidden video with the clothespins where 1 is upside down. I have theorized that it is a reference to Barnaby dying, but it could be Barnaby and Eddie. Only one clothespin is shown upside down though, so Barnaby or Eddie?

Regardless of how I feel you need to go away,

I’ll be the one to tell you, you just can’t stay,—he likes bugs but this is extreme of Frank, if he is talking about actual bugs

Thankfully I lack a sentimental sensibility,—true that, he generally seems calm.

I enjoy my Methodical Mundanity,—why is this capitalized? I looked and looked but I can’t find the origin of this phrase, though it came up a few times in random posts and articles. Clown does have a tendency to capitalize things that seem random. Me below is also capitalized. I listened as well, and I have to wonder why the singing is so bad? I don’t think the voice actors are bad at singing, seems like a deliberate choice to have reedy and unsteady vocals, pitch issues and pacing problems.

Where all that’s left is… Me.

So, this is a bit extreme for a song about hibernating bugs. I think that given our many references to bisecting or otherwise putting people into pieces (Eddie butterfly horror, frank in a pile of body parts, look I made a dog, and slinky Barnaby, now Frankenstein and Scarecrow) that we could be looking at death in a sense that works in one layer of reality. You disassemble a puppet, it is no longer a puppet. So what if Frank = Frankenstein and Eddie is Frankenstein’s monster? Frank can take him apart and put him back together in puppet reality?

If I had to guess, I am sticking with my working theory. Frank, as the smartest guy in the neighborhood, is the resistant force in the neighborhood. Wally/Home is/are the catalyst for the scary stuff. They are central to everything, physically and otherwise.

I have mentioned that in the last update, Sally and Poppy have the appearance of spies or managing Eddie. Given that Poppy doesn’t attend to party, I am anticipating that Eddie was isolated and watched by Sally during this planning period, where Wally and Barnaby walk the neighborhood to find out what Homewarming is. Given that it is said that Wally and Home instigated Homewarming, it is strange that everyone knows what it is except for Wally. It reads more as an attempt to achieve a goal, despite everyone knowing about the holiday. Even Julie is at the party, and she is supposed to be hibernating. Well, they don't say exactly when Julie hibernates (maybe there was something about her doing it after the holiday?) Anyway, Poppy isn't at Homewarming. She could be at home, but the book stating that they are all here seems like an attempt to cover up her absence. What is she doing? Snooping in the Post Office while Sally watches Eddie? Does Eddie want to go home for not feeling well or he has an idea of what is happening while he is gone?

Maybe Frank sees his boyfriend and comrade at arms about to get hit with something bad, so to preserve him and the opposition, he is going to disassemble him (cue Johnny 5) for protection.

In the past, Sonny (the Brazilian bird) was cast as the opposition to Wally, and included in a relationship with Frank. This work in particular comes to mind:

Clown has stated that they removed Sonny from the project due to the story changing from one with a hero, to one without, as that wasn't the story that they wanted to tell. What if, though, instead of Sonny being written out for the hero reason, there was another reason? What if we are seeing Frank taking on being the neighborhood's savior? He is just snarky enough to make it seem less like a hero situation and more because it was impacting his garden.

Who the Welcome Home Guys Remind Me Of!

Wally Darling: Yellow Guy from Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared

Barnaby B. Beagle: Blue from Blue’s Clues

Eddie Dear: Postman Pat from Postman Pat

Howdy Pillar: I can’t think of anyone! Maybe the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland?

Julie Joyful: Star Butterfly from Star Vs The Forces Of Evil

Frank Frankly: Mr Robinson from The Amazing World of Gumball

Poppy Partridge: Big Bird from Sesame Street

Sally Starlet: Sundrop/Moondrop/Sun/Moon/Daycare Attendant from FNAF Security Breach

BTW this is not me saying that the creator of Welcome Home is copying anyone - I am really excited by Welcome Home and I really want to see where Clown takes the series! My little ADHD brain just made some dumb little connections and wanted to share them :>

[nohomie]

Hey what are the relationship/how the characters feel about each other in the hunt vs. hunted au ? I love your au by the way :)

I think I can answer this properly now.

Info below the cut

Basically the main characters are separated into two groups:

There's the Hunter's side: Howdy, Eddie, Barnaby, Home, and sliding my own oc, Dolly here.

They all have a more professional relationship with each other if not having met each other at all.

• Howdy and Dolly are close friends that gradually grew apart after they both started focusing on their professions more.

• Eddie is Howdy's assigned work partner for the week™.

• Dolly is Home's direct affiliate, acting as Home's direct assistant and spokes person when it comes to work stuff.

• Barnaby hasn't even talked to any of them yet except for Home and by extension Dolly.

And there's the Hunted: Frank, Julie, Sally, Poppy, and Wally

Their relationship is more of a found family situation.

• Poppy is like the mother figure to all of them.

• Wally is like the angsty kid that would keep himself locked in his room and sleep for years, occasionally going to Frank for mental and physical check ups.

• Frank acts like the tired private physician/older brother, he's closest to Julie because she pesters him often about his work.

• Sally is the second most energetic person in the group that would give unsolicited advice to people and set up plays to entertain everyone in their shared space, she's closest with Poppy, who she confides in with her own troubles and secrets.

• Julie is the last person to join their little group, hyper excited to just hang out with everyone. She just immediately tried to be everyone's best friend.

And then there's Y/N who initially has no connection to any of them. They're just a fella that got tangled in the middle of a crossfire

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

So in your most recent ramble on Theories technically isn't Frank being atheist slightly concious of what's going on cannon since artwork of him being aware of other puppet parts was in the recent update? What if some neighbors really know nothing but others actually do know of a little bit of what's happening but Wally doesn't realize they do so he tries to keep face?

Though I'll admit with your idea of that not being the "Real" Barnaby in the Interview may explain why Wally went really quiet during the interview even when being directly asked things once Barnaby showed up

Kind like he was so focused on the "That's not Barnaby. Why do they Look like him? Who are They??" That the Interviewers questions got completely ignored as "Barnaby" answered the question instead until Wally snapped out of it.

Just thoughts on your thoughts of many thoughts- Thoughts!

sorry i Did Not See This!

for a moment i was very confused as to what you meant by "athiest" but i see - you meant "at least!" yes, i've been tentatively believing in Frank being a bit aware because of your stated reason, and also purely based on vibes and how he's been shown to be more, ah, cynical than the others. or... knowledge seeking? nosy but in a technical way. mild example is when he mused on how he's never seen a blue dog before in his bug audio w/ Barnaby.

and i do believe in the idea that everyone - or almost everyone knows somethings up, but they're not sure what / it's an easy feeling to ignore. like how i've talked about Howdy potentially knowing that he's selling props / inedible objects as food, but everyone can eat it anyway. so he's just like "fuck it yeah sure, i'll sell soap as mashed potatoes", yk? then of course in the Halloween update - which i know this ask was sent before it, apologies again - Sally knows there's somethin' the fuck up in the neighborhood at night. i wouldn't be surprised if everyone has a little Something they've noticed that bothers them deep down...

and Wally... honestly i'm starting to suspect that - again! If there's a time discrepancy between "official" audios and the secret ones or at least all audios vs his interactions with the whrp/qa/You - Wally in the official audios isn't quiiiite up to speed? like, he probably knows what he is and the like, but he's still figuring out everyone's places and the nature of his existence. like how in the Halloween "secret" audio 00, where he eats part of Barnaby's candy apple - it seemed like it took a great effort, like Wally was just trying it out. like a "i think i can do this... i'm trying..." it strikes me as a "new" thing for him there. he's not accustomed to it? idk... but whatever the case Wally certainly knows that he has to keep Secrets! can't tell the others about literally anything!

as for the interview - tbh i don't think Wally was quiet because he noticed that Barnaby was (potentially) just a person in a suit. several reasons! i have a feeling that Wally being Aware means that he understands, at least on some level, what a puppet is and the nature of it, so it wouldn't really disturb him? or maybe it would... apple pie and all... SO! another piece of reasoning! it's possible that Wally had no idea that that Barnaby "wasn't" Barnaby. After all, how could he tell?

personally, i think Wally was just quiet because, well, he's not much of a talker - at least not around Company it seems! in all of the audios where he's with other neighbors, he fades into the background and defers to them, only chiming in occasionally. and the Interview appears to be set in the early days of Welcome Home the tv show, so Wally would still be uh. for lack of a better word, fresh outta the box. if Barnaby starts talking, naturally Wally would sit back and let him lead. Wally takes a beat too long formulating a response and Barnaby barrels on - well what would Wally do? interrupt? that would be rude...

Watch "WALLY VS HOWDY||An Animatic(Welcome Home Arg)" on YouTube

I like to think that this is just a game Howdy and Wally play.

Show the animator some love if you like it!

Lol why does Gangsta Wally hate Howdy so much

😂 What did Howdy do

There’s a lot of things Howdy did but one of it is flushing him down the toilet

Hunt Vs. Hunted AU

(a.k.a Vampire Wally AU)

Meet the cast Part 1 || 2 || 3

Barnaby and Eddie

Home and Doll

Ok so Home may be out of place from the rest and they may look like a picasso rubiks cube object head, but it's for a reason, trust me

Info below

Barnaby ★ Warewolf

Old friend of Wally and Poppy, he was the one who looked out for Wally at his weakest. He was a whole lot different than how he is now, a lot gentler and a lot happier.

In the present, he works under the H.A. as an experimentative soldier out on the hunt for monsters.

Eddie Dear

He's just some soldier. Nothing much known of his past. He joined H.A. for the sole purpose of filling the gaps in his memory. Outside of that, Eddie is fairly competent in what he does, which is mainly patrolling and assisting hunters.

He later on accompanies Howdy as his partner on hunts, gradually becoming the Caterpillar's friend and close companion as time goes on.

HOME ★ ???

Home is a peculiar character, once heavily involved in Wally's past. They are the founder and current head honcho of H.A. with the company's original intention being to look for Wally until it evolved into managing corrupt mythical creatures altogether.

They don't show themselves in public or to just anybody in general, rather passing on the responsibility of relaying orders via Doll.

Doll

Doll is HOME's most loyal servant, being the only who is allowed to be in their presence personally. Want to say something to HOME? Talk to Doll. HOME has an order for you? Doll is there to deliver the message. It got to the point that Doll's face and persona is quite well known in the company, just above Howdy.

She is diligent and quite serious about what she does. She is cheerful in nature but it can often come off as intimidating to others given her affiliations. She doesn't know about it though.

[haru-kuneko]

I call this "The Rise of The Disney Glitch Welcome Home AU"

I have a little free time after work, so I have time to dust off those Photoshop skills (my apologies if they don't look 100% good as I'm still learning myself).

Wally & Rapunzel

I think Wally and Rapunzel would be friends. Not only does Rapunzel look similar to Julie and is associated with spring, but she is also a painter.

Aunt Cass & Howdy

I can imagine Aunt Cass and Howdy working together. They both run a store (in Aunt Cass' case, the café) and tend to be the most responsible but friendliest towards their customers. I kind of wish I had both of their energy at my job haha! =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)

Baymax vs. Murder Drones

DISCLAIMER: All images used here belong to their rightful owners. These aren't canon, by the way.

[wispyecho13]

I have finished drawing a Welcome Home OC! Her name is Melody Nightshade! Most of what you need to know is in the image.

As for her relationships with the neighbors, I can explain a bit more in detail.

For Wally: Melody at first was a bit put off, but the more she chatted with him, the more she started to feel something. Wally as also a bit put off, but he ignored that because he really did want to be her friend. It was only when he saw her be flustered when he realized that he wanted to be more than friends.

For Howdy: If love at first sight had to take a shape, it would be definitely be shaped like Howdy. Cause this love bug fell in love at first sight when Melody first entered his store. Melody didn’t at first fell in love, but when he was flirting, she started to become flustered. Melody wasn’t sure how to feel with Howdy’s flirting, cause she never had anyone actively flirt with good intentions. Eventually she started to fall in love with him.

For Sally: Theater and Music as always been paired together. So these two were destined to be best friends. Melody was out of her little walk near Curfew hour when she came across Sally practicing for her play. Once they started to connect and bond over their love of music and fairy tales, they became close friends.

For Poppy: Melody came to Poppy, after smiling some delicious cookies. After their bond of cooking, Poppy had accidentally learned of Melody’s secret, but still supported her. From that day, Melody sees Poppy as a motherly figure she had lost ages ago. Meanwhile Poppy sees her as sort of a daughter.

For Frank: Frank didn’t like Melody at first, due to her odd behavior, while Melody is a bit scared of Frank. But the two started to bond over flowers and books. Frank tolerates Melody at most, but that’s mainly because she is more quiet than most of the neighbors. Meanwhile Melody can see that he’s nicer than he seems, plus she enjoys their talks.

For Julie: Julie saw Melody as new friend material, and is the main reason why Melody started to be active in the neighborhood. Melody sees Julie as a sibling, due to how often she reminds her of her younger siblings. Julie can understand how it feels to move far away from her family, and tries to be there for her. Julie was one of the few to notice how sad Melody is, even when she tries to deny it.

For Eddie: The two don’t really interact often, but when they do, it’s usually due to Melody’s family sending her something or Eddie misplacing something. Despite rarely interacting, they still see each other as friends. Though, Eddie started to feel like Melody knows more than she seems, but brushes it off as everyone being unique.

For Barnaby: These two don’t really get along, but tolerates each other. It could be the good old classic cat vs dog. But Barnaby would voice his suspicions of Melody, as he really feels like she knows more than she seems. He doesn’t exactly trust her either, as he would often see her go on nightly walks (past curfew), and constantly blocking anyone’s view of her face. Melody, on the other hand, feels like Barnaby is becoming suspicious of her and worries if he was going to find out about her secret. But which secret is the question.

Tic-Tac_toe (Part 2)

3 parts to keep you from dying reading this

Edit: 4 parts

Spoilers abound

Use in Welcome Home

Several tic tac toe boards are found on the website. I am going to detail them, who won, who the x's and o's would represent and potential tac tac toe cypher. I moved the order of the paragraphs, so you won't knoe what i am talking about in relationship to using neighborhood locations as spaces on a board

Game:   Frank vs Julie, Julie wins.  There is another line that makes it look like frank could have won, but it is going through Julie’s marker, so probably not.  Julie is X, Frank is O.  I believe that means Julie went first. 

Neighborhood reference:  x’s—Frank, Wally, Eddie; o’s—Barnaby, Howdy, Julie

Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher:  J, N, R, U, X, Z  (incomplete since we don’t see the full board.)

Game:   Wally/Home vs Julie, Julie wins.  The board is pink, Like Julie’s color.  Julie is X, Wally/Home is O.  That means Julie went first. 

Neighborhood reference:  x’s—howdy, wally, sally,  o’s—Frank, tower, Poppy

Tick-Tac-Toe Cipher:  S. Z, X, P, N, L, D, B, I

Secretive tic tac toe board on an apple.  The color is off on this one, so it appears that it is Frank and Poppy, which makes sense, because this is the Frank/Poppy scene with Wally.  Game field is red? There is no winner in this game, it appears to be in progress.  However, Frank cannot win here, only Poppy.  If Poppy sticks with strategy, she is first, since she got the center tile.  This means it is her turn, and she likely would win the game.  Not for sure, since she could make an error, but still.

Game:  Frank vs. Poppy, Poppy wins. 

Neighborhood reference:  x’s—Frank, Wally, Sally; o’s—Julie, Barnaby, Eddie

Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher:  (going on the assumption that X chose center to start)  J, N, L, V, T, NOTHING? The cipher is short a space, F, G, H

In the comments: 

Exchange:  Commenter (Ant) “I know what you are.” Wally:  “You do.  I am so happy!”

Wally/Home playing by themself/es .  There is no winner since there is no opponent, but technically there are three in a row.  The game board is blue, which could indicate that Barnaby is taking part, but he hasn’t moved that we can see.

Neighborhood reference: o’s—Frank, Wally, Sally, Howdy

Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher:  S, B. U, D, W, F, Y, H, I

Kind of hidden tic tac toe in Eddie’s video.  He has been making his shopping list.  I think the idea here is that Eddie is playing himself in order to deal with the boredom, but there are two pages full of tic tac toe boards, as well as a score.  The scoreboard is labeled “E” on both sides, so unless there are two of him, he is playing himself.  What’s weird is the sheer number of wins for each Eddie.  Surely Eddie would be switching off X between the two Eddies.  But I think some people play if you win, you get first pick, in which case one Eddie would statistically win more. 

Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher:   too many

That may be all of the tic-tac-toe.  It doesn’t appear that the TTT code is really working with this material.  I have seen a few people make an attempt at deciphering it based on that code, but there are a lot of consonants and more z’s than anybody needs.

In the end, it may just be Julie’s symbol and a fun thing.

I saw in your last post that you need some ocs for your au and I do have my own welcome home blorbo I’d like to share but I just want to know what each job position entails?

Will the oc work for playfellows or just affiliate with them? What will certain positions do exactly? Should we list what blood type they are? Etc.

(Also god damn your fantastic au has me in a chokehold rn good job 👍)

Thank you so much for the support! I do my best!

The OC (offensive cardinals) team are a small police force put together to solve crimes affiliated with the Playfellow criminal group. The majority do not work with the playfellows. They are mostly against them.

I'm not allowing characters into the criminal group and the reason why I'm not allowing any more characters in the playfellows is that the police team isn't complete!

the job positions are to balance out the playfellows. Or rather mirror them ? but not really mirror them. They're all each their own characters.

leader-type: Wrenly vs Wally Negotiator-type: Conan vs Julie (Conan is an oc by @melancholic-crayons ) Explosion-expert-type: N/A vs Sally Sibling drama?: Anne vs Frank Chosen family drama?: Prisma vs Eddie Weapon-expert-type: N/A Barnaby Medic-type: Tizy, Evie (I forgot their spellings) vs Poppy. Supplier-type: N/A Howdy Puppeteers: [REDACTED] vs Home Viewer(the people who are following the story): Viewer L. Neighbor

If you are to join me and the people who wanted to have their ocs in my au. Then it would be appreciated if you give me all the details of your character. After all, I plan to be covering all the lore of all the characters essential. And even if they aren't so essential I will still be covering their story in the comic I will be drawing.

Ah! I've forgotten to give the invite link to a Discord server I co-own. I and a few others basically own the server. ha! I can be contacted much easier here.

Edit: Gah! I keep forgetting to credit people! Tizy and Evie are ocs created by someone in the discord server.
