Not sure if this theory makes any sense at all but I'm starting to believe that there's no time skip between Wally's phone calls and what we see/hear in the show's Media/Merchandise. If we see the Toyland call being made before the Homewarming episode then it would make sense that Wally's expecting Barnaby to come over soon. As well as the Homewarming sketch from the prior update. (I don't know, still kind of brainstorming this perspective)
that theory Does make sense and i've been considering it! the "timeline" is such a nebulous thing right now because we still... don't really know! there are too many variables and too many Maybes for any solid answer.
maybe the reality that the neighbors live in exists outside of time like you say, and like half of me suspects. there's so much reality fuckery already present, but I'm also... unsure of how much merit this holds given what we know / can infer about how time passes in Home. i'm putting this theory on a low shelf to look at but not prioritize
maybe it really has been 50 years, and Barnaby is either still around / Wally is still in contact with him, or Barnaby... isn't there. who knows, maybe Wally was just verbalizing some Wishful Thinking. i mean, Wally is a bit of an unreliable narrator, isn't he? we can't assume that everything he says is entirely accurate or truthful. and i mean, if it's been 50 years it makes sense that Wally would be pushing for connection / to revive WH. who knows how long he's been trying.
hm... i mean. it could be a mix of that and the Outside Of Time theory. who knows, maybe W is receiving calls from different points in the timeline - Wally may have started out just calling, and has just graduated to invading the WH website / getting pushy with the envelopes and media that's been sent to the WHRP. maybe Wally got tired of waiting for W to respond before W was even born. who's to say!

the ‘power of friendship’ trope will never get old because there’s just something about seeing any beloved character get pushed to their limits and then The Friend(s) arriving in the nick of time to save them.
At that point, I am shouting and screaming.
Alternatively, characters getting a deus ex machina power up at their ‘last’ moments. (when done right, I will also be shouting and screaming)
(this is also a shoutout to cliches when done right.)
(creators first hook you in with very lovable characters so you are much more compelled to cheer for them in a pinch)

as a swiftie, i dont agree with them at all 😭😭 everyone does wrong things and we shouldn't defend her no matter what she does!!
yes! yes, exactly! damn, i am so glad that there are more of us here. it's possible to love someone's music but also see their flaws at the same time. your fave is problematic, deal with it.

I love you systems who's trauma is 'unrealistic' and/or 'too extreme'. I love you systems who physically can't share their stories due to programming or any other physical barrier. I love you systems who don't want to use labels that could reflect this. I love you systems who went through/are going through RAMCOA. I love you systems who are cult survivors, who have been trafficked, or abused with drugs.
I love you. You are safe and welcomed here. Thank you for being strong.
