Can we be friends? /hj It’s just that you describe my feelings for the fandom perfectly! I used to like the AUs that came up but eventually I feel kind of worn out about it. After all, there’s so little of the original project that came out so naturally the AUs felt just like headcannons instead of like, adding on another layer of canon, like most AUs do. I do like some of them! It’s just that there’s so much of them that I have grown…kind of tired of it.

I also wish for more people to make theories about the actual project! even though it’s clarified to not be an ARG, because it’s fun to speculate about stuff outside of how characters would act in “_” scenario, and idk I feel like the fandom is a little lacking in that area.

HAHAHA yeah that's the kicker isn't it. AUs straying far from canon is a tale as old as time, it would be a non-issue in most other fandoms. but in welcome home i feel like it's like, 85% of all fanwork so far? so it's easy to get burnt out if it’s not your thing to begin with.

and i think welcome home invites plenty of speculation already! it may not be an arg but it is definitely Some Kind Of Unfiction so far, which by nature is a method of storytelling that thrives when paired with genres like mystery/horror/etc.

This feels WH-core but specifically, the post with the second picture of the house about how the dogs are always warm.

Feel free to ignore if you disagree!

SEE. i almost did put this in the queue - honestly i might still throw it in if i can't find any other posts - but i think the reason i hesitate to Immediately label it as WHcore is bc the central horror of this post is the repeated insistence that this set of circumstances that you find horribly unfamiliar and isolating and even distressing is, in fact, familiar to you. that it knows you better than you do. and like the refusal to take no for an answer. meanwhile WH is more like, a set of circumstances that were familiar to its inhabitants once but have since warped into something unrecognizable, either via the passage of time or by simply gaining more awareness of the rest of world.

although i suppose those can be two sides of the same coin.

...you know maybe i Will put this post in the queue actually.

EDIT: forgot that this is also gonna look like a Whole mess with my custom theme but whatever we got dashboard view.
