A Neighborly Solar System

A neighborly solar system

Source for all the descriptions - 🪐

My apologies to y’all for the ramblings in the descriptions lol, if you guys just wanna know why I chose each planet, here you go

Sally Starlet - the sun: is it not obvious? /lh (I decided to not make Sally as bright as the sun, as to show some humbleness in her ego in comparison to her regular counterpart)

Eddie Dear - Mercury: Curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, as Eddie is also very intrigued by what his past life was like (lore drop on god⁉️). Also with the themes of communication and expression, it really reminded me of Eddie’s role as a mailman (or in this au, S P A C E C O W B O Y)

Wally Starling - Venus: As Wally is the newest member to our set of Wish Makers, I wanted to keep him as his creative and perpetually-in-love-with-everyone kind of self, and Venus had a lot more in common with him than I thought

We skip over Earth since no one fit Earth’s description

Poppy Partridge - the moon: Another obvious choice (also like Wally, the description for Earth’s Moon had more in common with Poppy than I thought!)

Barnaby B. Beagle - Mars: This one was honestly the hardest to try and figure out. I kind of had to think of it from Barnaby’s inspirations for this au, specifically with his game show kind of shtick

Also skip over Jupiter since no one fit its description either T-T

Frank Frankly - Saturn: I was simply reading Saturn’s description, and my mind just went “oh yeah, that’s just actually Frank”

Julie Joyful - Uranus: This one was also kind of difficult to place, so I also had to think of it from Julie’s perspective—she’s not afraid to break the rules, nor is she afraid to come up with her own rules

Howdy Pillar - Neptune: For this one I had to actually go to another website to get ideas from. With this variant of Howdy, I wanted to find something that fit both his capitalistic attributes as well as his soft dream-like aesthetic (he’s not as much of a capitalist in this au, but he still enjoys making some dough💸)

Another thing I wanna add to this is that almost all the time, there’s hardly any focus on any of the other neighbors, if at all!

Even with my aus, I like to give time to draw neighbors like Julie, Poppy, Howdy, etc. if I feel like I haven’t given them as much focus

I’m not trying to be hateful, but interacting with Welcome Home content can be painful. Why are there 77 AUs of Wally, and why are HALF of them violently abusive???

Somebody once said it was like a speed run for how to ruin a fandom in real time. I agree.

I understand when it started out, we didn’t know much about the characters so people ran with that, but it’s painful how bizarre half of it is.

I love Welcome Home, and I’m not saying that I think all of the content should be sunshine and rainbows, no it’s a horror ARG (or whatever it’s called when it’s an interactive website.)

But I am saying that I don’t understand running Wally’s character into the mud by stripping him of his personality so he can fit your fantasy. Make your own character?!?

And just know, if you try to argue with me, I will double down or simply not reply.

I KEEP SAYING THIS, LET THE MAILMAN GO BATSHIT CRAZY👏👏

What do you mean by “Mailman”?

Sketch I made with the intent to make Eddie look more ominous. Alternate eye version 👇

PARTYCOFFINNNNNNN, DROP A MAKESHIP PRODUCT THAT ISNT WALLY OR BARNABY RELATED, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS🫵

ALL IN FAVOR OF PIM IN DRAG SAY AYE🗣️💕

I think Pim in drag would serve lethal cunt, actually.

And I was just thinking about drawing Howdy as Morshu last night😭

Howdy: Sorry, Frank, I can't give credit. Come back when you're a little- MMMMMMMM- richer.
