Wally Darling was one of the 9 Neighbors that lived in The Neighborhood during the 1970s television series, Welcome Home.

Relationships Home Little has been uncovered about Home and Wally's relationship, but it is implied that they were close.

Barnaby B. Beagle Wally was regarded as Barnaby's best friend.[5] They were often depicted hanging out together in official media from the series. Barnaby is also mentioned in Wally's character description from the website.

According to human designs made by Clown, Wally is black. Wally loves apples. Not eating them, just admiring them.[6]. His favorite type is Red Delicious.[7] In comparison to other characters from Welcome Home, Wally's character description was notably shorter, with most of his description being dedicated to Home. Wally's voice was described as slow, easygoing, and monotonous. His voice was likened to that of Teddy Ruxpin. In old conceptual work, Wally had crosses on his cufflinks. Those were later removed, and is non-canonical according to Clown. Wally's character sheet is the only one to say "Goodbye!" at the bottom rather than "Go Back."

Distinctive Voice/Distinctive Laugh/Quotable Catchphrase Wally has a very soft, soothing voice, as well as an unusual, monotone laugh (canon deeper version). Likewise, Wally has a catchphrase: "That's the most!"

Although we are only at the beginning of the project, it is clear that Wally is capable of breaking the fourth wall. He seems to be aware of the viewer, with 'You' being an important part of the horror project. Likewise, Wally appears to be able to interact with the audience via the website's Guestbook.

Wally Darling is the main character (and potential antagonist) of the puppet-themed alternate reality project 'Welcome Home'. A sweet, soft-voiced artist who is always happy to share a smile, Wally acts as the central character of the cancelled 'Welcome Home' 70s puppet show, the object of the project's restoration plans. However, it is clear that there is something dark lurking underneath the surface of this project...and Wally appears to be at the centre of it. In no time at all, Wally has garnered a vocal.

The cast of 'Welcome Home' are all rainbow-coloured, Muppet-esque creatures, but Wally in particular embodies a well-dressed clown. However, it's interesting to note that Wally claims to not know what a clown is. On page two of the guest book, guest Cloudy says "Hello! I love clowns! Show me one!" Next to is is a drawing of Barnaby. This drawing is titled "I do not know what clown is _ I asked frank _ he said barnaby _ here is barnaby" (spaces added for easier reading). Coincidently, Wally's creator is also named Clown.

Wally is enormously associated with eye imagery. The first image we see of him on the 'Welcome Home' website has a hidden eye just below him. Wally appears to be able to 'see' the viewer in some way, and his home has eyes which are always watching. There's also just a lot of art where his eyes are the only thing you can see.

Is a puppet and potentially something much more.

Although the current iteration of the project is new, we know from earlier material that Wally holds some sort of fascination/obsession with You. In an audio test for the series, Wally says that he loves You.

Wally is almost always portrayed as smiling, which may come as a consequence of his Muppet-shaped mouth.

We don't know why or how, but the little information we have seems to suggest that Wally has a great deal of power that goes beyond the rest of the cast.

Wally is known to be obsessed with apples: not to eat them, but just as an object of fixation, which have caused many fans to note the possible Biblical symbolism. Likewise, Wally's early design included cross-shaped cufflinks and one of the concept pieces for Welcome Home has him in the Baphomet pose (although it's no longer canon; it used to be a part of him). He has also dressed up as a demon for Halloween (canonically this time).

Welcome Home is based on early Sesame Street, the works of Jim Henson, and has a 70s theme.

In the first proper clip of his voice, we hear him sing "Beautiful Dreamer" though the fandom has associated Wally and 'Welcome Home' with Tiny Tim's cover of "Livin' in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moon Light" as it is frequently used in TikToks.

Wally is shown in a variety of fine and fancy outfits, often with rainbow-pinstriped pants and a bright red cravat.

Wally's dominating personality has quickly become a fanon interpretation due to his implied power and possible intentions towards You.

This is more fan speculation, as we currently don't have enough information about Wally to know about the specifics of his form. However, his abilities and power imply that something isn't right with him, and that his status as a fictional puppet is no longer a truth.

At the moment, we can't tell what Wally's intentions are, or even what kind of situation he is in. Fanon has quickly interpreted Wally as either being evil, villainous, or at least morally grey.

He pretends to be nice but he's actually dangerous and would Hurt you even though he keeps repeating creapily that he won't Hurt you. He knows that you, the player, exists. He hurts animals soemtiems it seems It gets creeper and creepier. Is this house alive?!

He has actually a very dark and twisted side and I mean extremely twisted

He can eat by blinking with his eyes (yes its Canon)
