Welcome Home Hyacinth Theory 🏠🪻🐛

Hello Tumblr! Most Welcome Home theories are just little bits and pieces or “Wally is evil, guys look!”/”Wally is not evil! He is a goober!” etc.

This theory is fully fledged and provides a plot and evidence. I call it the Welcome Home “Hyacinth” theory, after the myth that it is based on. This will be a very long post so here is a TLDR: Julie kills Eddie while they are playing croquette-bowling out of jealousy because he is getting too close to Frank, who is supposed to be her boyfriend/best friend within the show. Either just Eddie or everyone involved gets replaced, except for Wally, who witnessed everything. This is why we have all of those videos of Wally dissociating.

I have been sitting around in my toom rambling to myself about this theory like a madman for over a week so I decided to share it.

Please reference this post from @/partycoffin (the creator of Welcome Home) when discussing Welcome Home and be respectful in the comments and reblogs.

Extra information on exploring the website from @angel-lyah:

Welcome Home Website Secrets

Alright, let’s get into it! I have evidence to back up every single one of those claims, and I will include it in this post.

I want to be very thorough with explaining this. I’ll start by establishing that there are three main plots within Welcome Home (that I have noticed, anyways):

The plot of the late 60’s - early 70’s TV show, Welcome Home - only related to published episodes, books, audios, etc. that would have been shown to the public at the time of airing Welcome Home

“Behind the show” - feelings and actions of the puppets outside of the show (such as Frank and Eddie being a couple, or Frank being nonbinary)

The Welcome Home Restoration Project - people working to restore the TV show, Welcome Home, and find any and all information related to it and who made it

Okay so for the rest of this essay, when I mention BtS, it is related to the “behind the show” plot. I will color these things blue. When I write WtS, it is related to the “within the show” plot. I will color these things green. When I write WHRP, it is related to the Welcome Home Restoration Project. I will color these things pink. I will also mention things that have been said either on Clown’s Tumblr blog, Clown’s Twitter, or old streams. I will say CS, meaning “Clown source” to denote these things and color them orange. Clown source and behind the show areas often overlap, so Clown source information is dominant over behind the show information (if it is both I will just color it orange). Good? Good.

Now let’s establish our characters (only the ones related to this theory) and their relationships to one another. We’ll go alphabetically, starting with Eddie, then moving onto Frank, Julie, and Wally.

I’m going to assume that if you are reading this, you have already visited the website (clownillustration.com) and have a basic understanding of who Eddie is. So I will only focus on the elements of his character that will be relevant in this theory.

Eddie (WtS) is clumsy and overworks himself. He is often dragged into Julie’s games. His house (post office) looks like this:

Note the hyacinth flowers and the butterfly. Eddie (BtS) loves Frank. (CS) He is married to Frank in one art on Clown’s Tumblr. BY THE WAY IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIND THIS IMAGE!!!! THEY ARE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER!!

Frank (WtS) is Julie’s boyfriend as it is implied that they are a couple within the show (I know a lot of us don’t like hearing this, but remember the three plots) (also for everyone that is going to argue with me on this, go look on their little profiles in the neighborhood section of the website and come back to me) and best friend. His house looks like this:

Note the sunflowers. Frank (BtS) loves Eddie.

(CS) As I said before, in one art on Clown’s Tumblr, Eddie and Frank are married (you can tell by the rings on their fingers in that image) . Frank is nonbinary but uses he/him pronouns (Clown refers to Frank on his blog with only he/him pronouns, so that is what I will use. Nonbinary people do not have to use they/them pronouns! Pronouns are not equal to gender!)

(WtS) Julie is a rainbow monster. Her thing is that she likes to make up and play games. She seems to be very strong (perhaps related to her being a rainbow monster), as she can easily lift Wally and is indirectly referenced to [throw a baseball very well] by Barnaby in the Live Interview audio. She also incorporates bowling into a lot of games where it is unnecessary. She seems to be immature, which is usually used to make her a playful character. Her and Frank are a couple. In several arts, her horns are different shapes or even nonexistent, implying that she has some ability to change her form. Her house looks like this:

Note the heart motif throughout the design. (BtS) Julie is best friends with Frank. (CS) She is genderfluid (she is only referred to using she/her pronouns on Clown’s blog, so that is what I will use).

(WtS) Wally is the main character in Welcome Home. His house is alive and is named Home. Home is often considered to be a ninth neighbor. Wally often communicates for Home. (WHRP) Wally signs Home’s name in the guestbook (as Home does not have hands) (please stop with the tentacles I have seen the art please stop for the love of god where did that even come from). (WtS) The other neighbors frequently ignore and talk over Wally, but he doesn’t seem to mind, saying that he loves all of his friends in the live interview audio.

Okay so now that that is established, let’s look at some promotional art. Promotional art is not necessarily canon and may contain outdated designs, but may hint at the plot of Welcome Home.

There is one more artwork that I would like to add, but it is on Clown’s KoFi. Here is a link to it that you can look at if you are subscribed to Clown’s KoFi:

[link to Clown’s KoFi here]

I won’t describe the image because some of you may not be subscribed to Clown’s KoFi. But if you are, you will see that the image supports my theory.

While we are discussing that image, I would also like to say that I believe that the puppets are some kind of biological organisms. I don’t have much evidence for this right now, but I may make a theory in the future.

We will come back to those promotional arts soon. Right now, let’s look at Frank and Eddie’s houses and discuss some symbolism and mythology.

Frank’s house has sunflowers outside of it. Sunflowers are a symbol of Apollo. Eddie has hyacinths outside of his post office, obviously a symbol of Hyacinthus. Hyacinthus and Apollo were lovers, but Hyacinthus tragically died. Let me tell the story so we have context. (I am really into Greek mythology by the way, it’s always been a special interest since middle school but I am also a Hellenic pagan, you should follow my witchcraft and paganism blog, creatively named @maxiswitchcraftandpaganblog)

So Apollo, god of the sun, art, archery, and LOTS of various other things, loved Hyacinthus, who was a mortal Spartan man. And Hyacinthus loved him too, by the way. The god of the (west? don’t feel like googling it) wind, Zephyrus, was jealous of Hyacinthus, because he also loved Apollo.

One day, Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing discus (like frisbee but the frisbee is giant and made of metal, kind of like a shield). Apollo threw the discus to Hyacinthus, but Zephyrus blew the discus off course with the wind, causing it to hit Hyacinthus in the head and kill him. Apollo created the hyacinth flower from Hyacinthus’ blood as he died, but in some myths made him a god. (read more on Apollo and Hyacinthus here)

I’m going to draw some parallels here. Frank = Apollo, Eddie = Hyacinthus, Julie = Zephyrus. Now Frank’s and Eddie’s parallels make sense because of the flowers, but where did I get Julie=Zephyrus from? Recall that (WtS) Julie and Frank are supposed to be a couple. Now, (BtS) Julie may or may not like Frank in that way, but she certainly enjoys being close to him as his best friend. Since she is already established as an immature character, it would make sense that she would be jealous seeing Frank get closer to Eddie.

Pause. So WtS, Frank and Julie are together. BtS, Frank and Eddie are together. If these are separate, then what is Julie jealous about? (WtS) Frank has been seen getting closer to Eddie even in the official material of the show. An example of this is him telling Eddie that he works too hard at the end of the “Eddie’s Big Lift” storybook record. So his BtS love for Eddie is leaking into the WtS canon. That is a problem for Julie, who is supposed to be Frank’s girlfriend WtS. So she comes up with an idea to fix this, much like the jealous god, Zephyrus.

So what does she do? Let’s turn our attention to the “Just So” song demo. This song was never finished with instrumentals, and for a reason. The puppets function as actors in the show, as it is obvious that they have their own free will, and Julie does something that the writers do not expect later in this episode. So the song was never finished because the episode was ruined.

In the “Just So” song demo, Frank and Julie are about to play croquette bowling. It was supposed to be just croquette, as Frank put on his croquette bow tie, but last minute, Julie added bowling to the mix.

Wally knocks on the door and interrupts their song, saying that Home wants to play croquette bowling too. This implies that Julie told someone else that they would be playing croquette bowling after she added bowling. I feel like Wally and Home overheard Julie telling Eddie that they would be playing croquette bowling. This would make sense, as Wally often stands by and listens while the other neighbors talk. It is not unusual for Eddie to participate in Julie’s games, either, as we see from Julie playing “business woman in the big city” with him. [add a photo]

The song recording ends before we see them playing croquette bowling together. But I have a piece of evidence to tell us how it ends. Look at this promotional art again.

You probably assumed that the figure in the back was holding a hammer, but that could actually be a croquette mallet!

It’s covered in some gory-looking stuff, probably from Eddie. Now look at the flower. Whose eyes look like that? Almond-shaped, round pupils. Only one character: Wally. Wally was a witness, which would make sense for him, since he often watches on as the other neighbors do things.

Julie is holding the flower in front of her, looking innocent. This is a stretch, but I think that this might be symbolism for her saying that she didn’t do it on purpose, Wally saw the whole thing, ask him! And Wally doesn’t know what to do. I don’t know what he does from there.

Maybe this image is a clue? I genuinely don’t know. Once again, promotional art is not necessarily canon, but we can use the concepts from it in theories.

This next part is also a bit of a stretch. The neighbors having a memory of something like that happening would ruin their “acting” (I think they are just being recorded as they do what they would naturally do). The show can’t have that. The solution? Replace everyone involved.

Now go back and look in the promotional art section and look at that art of Frank. It looks like Frank is laying among extra puppet parts. They have extras!

And this is why Wally is dissociating in the videos we see when we click on the bugs. They did not replace him, because like the neighbors, they didn’t even notice he was there.

Okay yeah that’s the theory. It was really hard to get this into a coherent Google Doc and gather all the links. I was just rambling to myself about this in my room over and over pacing around for like a week. But yeah here you go, hope it's a good theory, sorry if it's not lol please be nice to me

laurie have you ever pondered on what jarty might look like in your boxer au. i’m just very curious about the dynamic between those versions of them in general (i wuv u 🫶🫶🐛)

SAINTS SWEETHEART HI <333

yes i have!! mostly bc they interact a lot in the fic and also bc of all the foursome talk there was about jeggy + rosekiller a while ago!!

james and barty hate each other with a Passion in the boxer au. it's raw and visceral and personal, even though there's no History between them. they didn't have a fight that made them become enemies or have some sort of diagreement. they just don't like each other, fundamentally

sirius and james also heavily dislike each other in this fic, but it's not as bad. they argue a lot but they can still pretend in front of the cameras, even if it can feel slightly strained occassionally. they're also Respectful when they get on the ring. sure, they taunt each other and fight with all their might, but neither of them plays dirty or breaks any rules. between barty and james is the complete opposite, they can't do interviews together and their matches tend to get cancelled midway through. that, or they both end up straight disqualified

i think they have more in common than they think, but their core traits or like . the strongest parts of their personalities clash very directly, and the personas they wear publicly kind of represent what they both hate the most??? like, james is arrogant to the point it's obnoxious, but he's charming and extroverted and loves having everyone's attention on him. while barty is also arrogant, but doesn't brag as much as james does, he's more reserved and . aggressive, doesn't do well with ppl and he doesn't give a fuck about what other think of him or about curating his image to appeal to the masses. james thinks barty is an asshole and not really a good person and barty thinks james is fake and hollow and a liar. but they don't actually Know each other

i have a hard time seeing them working romantically. i wouldn't say it's impossible, but it'd be . very complicated and frustrating and it wouldn't be healthy at all. they also wouldn't have a conventional relationship i feel like. they're always trying to one up each other and they fight over literally everything and james lets himself be controlled by anger way too easily, while barty, despite being sort of?? comfortable with conflict?? and enjoying chaos is a lot better at keeping his cool and getting the upper hand in that way. there would a lot of imbalance between them and that would drive both of them up the wall. both of them want to be in control at all times

that being said, there is a certain sexual tension between them. they hate each other so bad that it turns into Want sometimes, they just repress it or deny it to themselves, bc that's basically their arch nemesis, they're supposed to want them dead, not bent over a table you know?

if reg or evan weren't in the picture i feel like that sexual tension would remain unresolved for a lot longer, but they'd still fuck at some point. maybe even become some sort of twisted fuck buddies idk. they do have a lot of sexual chemistry, but they're both Proud and Stubborn so it'd be a long, exhausting process to get them to a point in which . they find their footing when it comes to sleeping together

evan and reg being there completely erases the possibility of their dynamic turning romantic, but it makes their possible Fucking more accessible?? surprisingly lmao. bc their respective partners give them the excuse to seek each other out (reg is down for either a foursome or a threesome, simply bc it's barty, and evan isn't actually interested but gets off on barty being turned on + watching him so he'd agree too). and having intermediaries would also help to keep them in check and aid them in finding how they can work while having sex aka barty tops, but they switch it a bit when it comes to dom/sub dynamics, since they're capable of both but have a clear preference to being the dom (that's another thing, until reg doesn't top james for the first time and he finds out he's actually very into it he would've never allowed barty to top him. that, or it would've taken him A While)

#and im shutting up now bc this is so ridiculously long WHAT THE FUCK #i didn't know i had . so many thoughts on the matter #i do enjoy the jarty dynamic in the boxer au quite a bit #it's gonna be very fun to write #i'm used to writing them hating each other bc that's my truth but #this might be the story in which they have the most romantic potential..#not like that's saying a lot #but i don't think i have any other stories in which they lowkey want to fuck each other badly despite all the hatred #anyways i hope this satisfied ur curiosity saints MWAH #asks #saints tag #jarty #boxer james agenda

Next Major Life Change 🐛 September 2023 - Sagittarius

What It Is: Protected By Angels 😇, Miracles 🌟, The Sun & Ace of Swords

This could be regarding a work situation or a family/home conflict, both apply with this energy. Your next life change is illumination, waking up to something or realizing the truth of a situation that may not be exactly how you thought or assumed it was. There has been conflict, competition, and you’ve given up on the matter entirely because it’s sucked the confidence right out of you and left you feeling sad, left out, and disappointed in how things have played out vs. how you wish they would have. You and someone else both seem to feel that the other person is uncooperative, which is what has caused this difficult situation. You’re realizing all of the details & specifics that I can’t see, and it’s ultimately a positive thing.

Why It’s Happening: 5 Cups, King of Cups, 4 Cups

Sadness, disappointment, feelings of not being chosen, respected, prioritized, there are a lot of sad feelings that this King of Cups holds inside and doesn’t share openly. This could be you regarding work or family, or someone else at work or in your family towards you, both of your oracle cards show you as being safe, protected, divinely guided, on the right path, and for some of you - as a healing source or a living guide/mentor of some kind for someone else. They call Temperance “the Earth Angel”, it’s your energy, and for some of you, where this is someone else, that’s what you’re being called to embody. Consciously, purposefully, Ace of Swords is clarity & truth, and The Sun is illumination.

Someone either feels you haven’t been cooperative with them, they don’t feel important in your life or they think you don’t care, essentially they feel let down. Or you do. There are a lot of emotions in this King, but the strongest one is love, over everything. You could be seeing a softer side of a typical hardass. Or all of that can be switched too, and you feel like everyone is against you, you haven’t had help and haven’t understood why.

Advice: 6 Pentacles, Knight of Swords, Temperance

Communication is the strongest message in this whole reading, and the advice for you is to “temper your temper” and eagerness to get your points and messages across. Page of Wands & 8 Wands clarifying, both Sag energy, very passionate (anger is passion too) messages flying at the speed of light, one after another after another *pew pew pew* blasting people with what you have to say. Knight of Swords shows an extremely blunt and sometimes harsh way of doing so. So not only are your messages flying out like crazy, they sting, burn, and wound, like gunshots. Aka, watch your mouth, you want people to hear you. 6 Pentacles is equal exchange, you say how you feel, they say how they feel, things are accomplished. Temperance exists to combine different elements in a peaceful & harmonious way, they have one foot on land keeping them stable, one foot in the water (emotions) keeping them connected, and they’re an alchemist pouring one cup of love from two, mixing elements and differences. Calm, balanced & peaceful. Be careful how you say what you need to say, and focus on the outcome being teamwork, not just proving points for the sake of getting digs in or being right. Others have viewpoints too, and everyone has something to say or offer towards the same long term goals. It’s not you vs. your coworkers/teammates/family, it’s all of you vs. the problems and how to solve them. Oracles show you have a whole spiritual team on your side, rooting for you, and helping you to get there 💚

Whether the problem is you or someone else, communication and how you approach or talk to others is still the illumination you’re seeing as the answer to your issue. It’s possible this King of Cups or a particular person says this to you bluntly too, or you/they could be disciplined in some way for being uncooperative or acting like everything is a WAR.

Dear Magnus,

The calls just ended and I was just thinking about us. Thinking about the future and our life’s and how intertwined they’ve became. I know this is gonna sound so codependent but I can’t imagine my life without you in it.

I love how much you put up with the things I enjoy that in my mind bring us closer, like the quizzes and the random questions. But you’re asleep now and you’ve had a stressful day so I thought I’d answer a few questions for you right now. You don’t have to answer the questions when u see this. Here we go.

What should a healthy relationship provide for the people in it?

Transparency, trust, respect, and open communication are qualities that equal effort and compromise. shared decisions(if either of us can make one) , accept each other's independence, and are free to act independently without fear of repercussions. Love and attention, feeling needed and wanted.

What is one behavior that you never tolerate?

Spitting on the floor. I’m sure u know this one I think it’s absolutely vile.

What did you think when you first met me?

When I first met you I had butterflies the whole way home I don’t remember a lot but I remember looking for you and feeling so nervous I felt sick I remember thinking about how cute and out of place you looked in your suit standing in front of the corner store.

What about our relationship makes you really happy?

Everything about you makes me happy your smile your voice your hair(yes even cut) your soft pretty cheeks your beard I love brushing my face against it. Your eyes. How open you are with me (both domestically and non domestically) I love your presence and just being around you.

If you had one word to describe our relationship what would it be?

Cherish

Sincerely ,

Your bug 🐛

12.48pm. Yes my loves.....

I am just working. Getting machines going while trying to setup a virtual apt tour & having problems. Sigh.

I guess one of those fires that forge.. but sharpen to kill the adversary, not me. Having respect for the crafter, the wielder, the hardships endured.

I keep working because it's the only way to get where I want to go in life. And pray to deserve & be worthy of God's Blessings, Grace, & Mercy. His Wisdom, Teaching, Guidance. And in the end, the Strength & Perseverance to endure thru all the trials of Job.

Maybe that's all the generations before millennials? I don't know. Only the ones I know...head shake. Drama & life handed to them from Daddy &/or mama's hard work. Maybe because I started cleaning house at 6yo? I was washing dishes. Then clean 3 full baths & my own laundry by 9yo. & my allowance of a quarter went into the offering plate every Sunday. I didn't understand why then. I only knew my siblings never did that labor. And I certainly don't see kids nowadays doing it. Mom or whomever has to. I see kids in new cars & bling & new phones. And parents that don't work either. That's the area I'm in.

Not whom I wanna emulate nor "grow up to be."

I think the issue is most say "I want to do better for my kids so they don't have to struggle like I did."

But. I see what that's cost the country.

Kids who think social status on media sites means more than someone standing in front of them.

No. That is why there's an epidemic of childhood type II diabetes & "plus size" clothing, down to size 5t! That's insane!

Take away the phones, tablets, all the computers & get those kids out imagining the world outside. And doing chores! Delegate!

But also allow them to be children.

I think this current world has lost the ability to balance that.

I have never agreed with kids having any type of technology access for other than educational purposes, & I do even less now.

I know families who homestead, [homeschool] & have school time during the day, limit tv & computer usage to 1 hr per child per day. And those kids are happy, healthy, well adjusted & going to be productive members of society.

Is it that the parents are pulled in too many directions then let the kids parent themselves? I don't know.

I just pray that God Guides me & Teaches me. So that when... He chooses.. & I am to be a mom... I learn from what I've seen & see it as don't go that route. Be my own kids teacher. Be the mom. Be the best one I can be.

The wife. The partner. Be the best woman I can be. It is the ultimate Gift of every woman.

I pray to deserve.

Chewing lips shyly bowing my beet red face.

Not sure why God wanted me to write all that.

Just...

Bowed.

I pray...

Please God?????

Get me out & to my soul's mates..... my beloved Bears Angels . . . . .so very much deserve to be loved!!!!! For the waiting to end!

To love... openly...?

To ...love ... each piece..... & no longer have to hide under a bushel anymore. To look... in the eyes..... feel hands..... lips..... bodys..... souls..... & be loved for whom each piece is.

Oh how I long to look into your eyes.....& see.. hear..experience... you . . . . .

Bowed.

I love you . . . . . Each piece. Completely. Unending. Depthless. Fathomless.

I crave you . . . . .

I am.

Yours . . . . . .

~Tijgeress kat Phoenix. 🌺✝️☸⚓🙇‍♀️🙏🤲🌂🔗⛓🧰🐯🐾🐐🦉🐢🐛🦋🌱🌺🌹🌻🌷🌳🌲🧶🧵⌚⚡🌟🌠🗝🔱⚜💝🐻🦌🧩♠️♾💫🧭🕯

thank you very much to @agnesamarantheastwood, my dear lovely v, for helping me figure out what to do for this celebration

🃏 anything that's impossible - choose anything from this list of alice's adventures in wonderland quotes and give me a character and i'll write you a short blurb based on it (around 100 words)

"what is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?"

"very few things indeed are really impossible."

"there's hardly enough left of me to make one respectable person!"

"i wish i hadn't cried so much!"

"i suppose i ought to eat or drink something or other; but the great question is 'what?'"

"when i used to read fairy tales, i fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here i am in the middle of one!"

"it's the most curious thing i ever saw in all my life!"

"speak english! i don't know the meaning of half those long words, and, what's more, i don't believe you do either!"

"i'm older than you, and must know better."

"the best way to explain it is to do it."

"i can't explain myself, i'm afraid, because i am not myself, you see."

"we're all mad here."

"if everybody minded their own business, the world would go round a deal faster than it does."

"everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."

"oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"

"take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves."

"never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."

"you shouldn't talk."

"it's very easy to take more than nothing."

"it wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited."

"really you are very dull!"

"off with her head!"

"if there's no meaning in it, that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any."

"begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop."

"you must have meant some mischief."

🐛 who are you? - tell me about yourself and i'll make you an aesthetic mood board i think fits you (include things like activities you enjoy, favorite characters, favorite colors, etc.)

🎩 we're all mad here - tell me what kind of music you like and i'll give you a song recommendation.

🍄 'tis love that makes the world go round - give me a character and a premise and i'll find a fic i think you'll like.
