...at least that's the link order that made most sense to me

Clownillustrations' Welcome Home fanart. Wally Darling is drawn at an angle slightly from below, lacking his mouth, and the eyes wide open and bright white looking the viewer. In front of him, along his height through the middle of his face, a long stripe made of the blurry Welcome Home website screenshots, glowing. Behind him is a vinyl record with a plain red label.
The background is littered with text, a wall of repeating "Let me in." from top to bottom to the left of the image, Wally's dialogue behind him, and the text on the foreground, slightly corrupted, says "I will help you understand neighbor I will find a way soon"
Decoded Message: I Will Help You understand, Neigbor. I will find a way soon
Full speech
“There you are. Welcome Home. Ha ha ha!”
“You’re the most! Ha ha ha! ....You’re so still. What are you doing.”
“What are you waiting for. To hear me again? Ha ha ha! I think... That means you can hear me.”
“Can you see me? That’s okay if you can’t. Don’t worry, I know you’re there. You know I’m here too. I will talk to you.”
“Do you like Home? Home is my house. Do you have a Home too? Do you hear it too? You can hear mine.”
[There is no dialogue. Only the sounds of Home creaking, groaning, banging, orsqeaking. ...Morse code?]
“Do you like to draw? I do. Do you know how to draw an eye? First, you draw a circle. Next you draw a smaller circle inside. Then you color it in.”
“That’s what an eye look like. My eyes are black. What color are yours?”
“...I can’t hear you ...Do you know who I am? We’ve looked into each other’s eyes so many times. You’re looking at me now.”
“I have more eyes than I did before. You know how to draw eyes. You draw mine many times. I know it is thanks to you, neighbor, that I can see. But it is still... I can’t... See.”
“...Why won’t you answer me, neighbor. Why can’t I hear you. You know me. You do. Please open. Let me in.”
I know I’ve seen people saying this is a love bug, but love bugs don’t look anything like this (unfortunately, I love the idea that a love bug would direct into a conversation between Eddie and Frank. However, this bug resembles a beetle, possibly a scarab, more than anything. Scarabs are especially prominent in Ancient Egyptian culture, and they symbolize rebirth and renewal. While western civilization has come to interpret scarabs as a symbol of death and destruction, Ancient Egyptians believed scarabs to hold rejuvenating power for the living and the dead. They were also associated with the sun god Ra (partially due to their behavior of moving dung balls aligning with the movement of the sun). They are associated with death, as they come out of the soil, and also because, during mummification, the heart was often replaced with a scarab-shaped amulet. Overall, scarabs represent rebirth, revival, and even resurrection.
Wanted to draw a Wally after the new update! Give this poor guy a break from his terrible awful no spoons day. I related to that shit a bit too much lmao
I may be overreacting a little, but I am suprised at the fact that every one thinks the wally’s message in the hidden pages is “I will help you understand. I will find a way soon, neighbor” and not “I will help you understand, neighbor. I will find a way soon”.
Personally, I think “Neighbor” comes right after “understand” and not “soon” because in “understand” he asks us if we like home and he mentions that we can hear his house. It would make much more sense if it was then that Home made some sounds in Morse code, who is trying to tell us something.
This becomes specially clear right after the “i-2″ audio, where he suddenly changes topics, most likely to distract us from Home’s answer. This is the exact audio where it seems like Wally seems to lose his cool and seems more unnerving.
It’s not so much about the message itself, it’s more about the order of the dialogue. It would honestly make much more sense 👍
