I really feel like there’s an interesting way to tie demonism to wh but not in the “THESE PUPPETS ARE LITERALLY DEMONS” way but in the “unfounded satanic panic” way
#welcome home spoilers#wh spoilers#the timelines don’t add up bc satanic panic happened in the 80s#but there is an idea there if we pair it with show sentience theory..#wh characters (Wally mostly? Home too perhaps?) show that they are sentient. show producers let their fear over shadow their reasoning#satanic panic esque pandamonium ensues. puppets are all written off as demons. insert Christian religious trauma metaphor here#in their fear the show’s producers go through with a ritual to exorsize the show’s entire concept from our world#now nobody remembers this show (except the question answerer apparently but well this theory is just a brain exercise really)#previously mentioned characters are still sentient but they are trapped. ideas cannot die. they are forever#they are stuck in stasis for 50 years until the whrp begins. they can finally interact with the outside world again#etc etc July 22nd site update you get the point. whps is a sentient idea & relies on memories (physical or mental) to exert its presence#& gets written off as evil/demonic bc people do not care to truly understand it. there’s an autism metaphor in there somewhere I think#txt#welcome home#welcome home theory#don’t take this too seriously bc this is more of a mental exercise#than a theory. like I’m just fucking around here#lrb
