SO. TO KICK OFF THE WEEK OF SPECULATION BEFORE THE UPDATE DROPS.
last night i had a bit of a Revelation. literally. i borderline woke up in a cold sweat with this realization. the way i lunged for my laptop to scream at friends... ough. lets get into it
so. i do believe I've made a couple of theory posts about Barnaby not being quite as receptive to his and Wally's "forced" best friendship as Wally - since the show wrote them to be friends instead of it happening naturally. i thought it might be a point of tension for Barn. i thought a lot.
YES SO I'M TOSSING (almost) ALL OF THAT OUT THE WINDOW!
the bios state Barnaby as Wally's best friend multiple times over. it had to be regularly reinforced. their colors were chosen to mark them as friends.
but Barnaby - presumably - can't see the bios, he wouldn't know the scripts. the friendship would be natural from his perspective. how would he know otherwise? even if the relationship started out synthetic, i don't doubt that it became genuine. in the context of their world and perceptions, realistically speaking Barnaby probably wouldn't sense anything wrong.
the reminders to be best friends weren't for Barnaby.
they were for Wally.
i'm starting to suspect that Wally is Barnaby's best friend, but Barnaby isn't Wally's. i think that Wally's "best friend" is Home - or at least Wally has a closer connection to them / Home is more important to Wally than anyone else is.
i remember reading this livestream trivia (from theneighborhoodwatch's doc, if you haven't their resources yet what are you even doing?):
and i assumed it was for Barnaby's side of the relationship. but it's not, is it? it's Wally's? and it makes too much fucking Sense! it fits! i can see it perfectly! i can feel things slotting together in my mind due to this shift in perspective, and i'm scared
Barnaby probably thinks the relationship is natural, just like how he thinks he's a real person in a real world. Wally probably knows that the relationship is a role, just like how he knows he's a puppet in a false reality.
that leaves me wondering how much of it is genuine on Wally's side. i don't doubt that they really are friends, but how deep does that connection go? in the interview, Wally sounded excited/proud about having a best friend, but how much came from a place of feeling, and how much came from a place of Fulfilling The Role? how much of it is performative? how much of it is a mask?
i've been seeing everything differently. Barnaby poses for Wally the most because he has good balance and is good at staying still, not because of favoritism or because he's Wally's best friend. in the 14 (15 including the hidden halloween) audios, Barnaby consistently seeks out Wally and checks in on him. Wally seems more casual about their relationship than Barnaby is.
i'm worried that Wally values Home & You/Us over Barnaby. that Barnaby is second or third place in Wally's heart. that Wally means more to Barnaby than he means to Wally. after all, only one of them needed their relationship to be reinforced on a seemingly regular basis.
i'm confident that Wally cares about / loves Barnaby, but the question is how much? to what extent?

So far I think Niffy and Baxter is the only ship I like and care about. And it hasn't even happened yet :{
I like Charlie and Vagatha since they're already an established thing, but other ships I don't really care or even dislike and don't wan't time wasted on it when more interesting things are happening.
Vox and Alastair is funny - I want to see their backstory, but don't wan't to see drama drag on more than necessary.
Alastor and Lucifer - I think fan art is cute, but don't really care about their rivalry or possible relationship.
Pentious and Cherri is alright, but was kind of thrown in haphazardly.
I just flat out don't care about Angel and Husk.
I don't care about Vox and Val. I think Val in general shouldn't exist and has too much importance thrown his way for a nothing character.

Extremely cornball sentence but the only reason I haven't killed myself yet is because I know I'd never get to hear my friends laugh again, or at least know I made them laugh. Hearing my twin laugh at a dogshit joke I made, or seeing him send me HELP or STOP or my friends somehow letting me know that I made them laugh, that I caused such joy in their lives, even on a small scale...I don't want to trade that in.

i think one of my favorite things about chai is that yeah he’s a scott pilgrim/marty mcfly/ben tennyson/generator rex but instead of being solely a power fantasy or the chosen one or some guy you can project on he’s a character that can be enjoyed by anyone, whether you like the previous kinds of characters or whether you just want to watch a lovable idiot smash things with the power of friendship and a trash guitar
