Self Aware Swap Au - Tumblr Posts
ok ok on a srs(ish) note.
Someone needs to stop the Pillar Man from drinking like- StOp you fuk- DATS HOW YOU DIE
-cherri
You’d drink a lot too if you were a puppet trapped in a very small neighborhood with a homicidal house and forced to stay happy for an unaware puppet that you are terrified of. And on top of that, you and your friends are being tortured in VARIOUS different ways…
But don’t worry! He has a drinking buddy! So he ain’t alone.
And by drinking buddy, I mean that the buddy doesn’t drink at all (rather he smokes) and they both sit in silence for hours at a time.
Also, you can’t really die! (A puppet can always be fixed back together)!! So why not drink until your fake-organs fail?
I wonder what you’ll pick! You all have one day!!
Here’s the question of the day for the self aware swap, is Home as violent as it is due to some sort of fear it has itself? Like I assume its aware too, so is it scared too?
Home knows that it’s aware, and yes, it is violent because of fear (but that’s also not the only reason!)
Ok, so we all know that in the OG Welcome Home, the show got cancelled around 1974, right?
Well, just think about it for a second what that means if you were a sentient puppet in that show.
What ever happens to puppets when they are no longer needed?
They get thrown away. They get ripped away from the only home they’ve ever known, and thrown away like garbage.
Left to rot and left to be forgotten.
And well, imagine you’re SAS!Home for a second too.
You genuinely love Wally, but now once the show’s over, he and his friends (but who cares about them really) will be thrown away or get a much worse fate in store for them. And you can’t even know what’s going to happen to them.
This is the biggest fear that Home has for Wally, this unknown fate that may happen if the show ever ends.
It’s why Wally needs to stay unaware, if the audience knew that the main character wasn’t acting like himself (and was screaming to be let out)… then everything falls apart.
He’ll be taken away from Home.
And Home can’t be “home” without Wally.
A home with no person is just a house.
*aHem*
Ok ok.
So.
Hypothetically speaking, let's say they all somehow get out of their little world, what then? Will they just be lifeless puppets, or living puppets in a human world, or would they well- be humans? (I've seen a few theories saying that they were once human so ye)
Hm, hypothetically, I believe that they'll be living puppets in a human world.
I do know that there is (non-canon btw) concept art made by Clown where it shows Julie and Frank a bit more realistic than what they usually are.
Now does this mean that the "alive" version is them in the human world?
Maybe! Maybe not!
But i don't think they'll turn back into humans if they escape.
I come with thing for SAS! Frank
I bring butterfly 🦋
Sometimes all Frank needs is a break sometimes…
Stop and look at the butterflies!!
(He really likes the gift!!)
You might’ve just worded it wrong but what do you mean turn back into humans?
Oh @dottyorange was just wondering what would happen if the SAS! Puppets ever escaped into the real world, if they would turn stay as puppets or turn back into humans.
There’s a theory going around in the OG welcome home that the colorful puppets that we know were actually once human.
It’s a running theme with childhood/ mascot horror that the evil creatures were once human! Fnaf, Poppy playtime, the Walten Files, Andy’s Apple Farm, BaTIM… now that I think about it, I can’t think of a mascot horror where the monster wasn’t once human….
Hope that clears any confusion!!
You wanted SOMETHING WHOLESOME FOR THE AU
I give you something wholesome!!
Here’s Howdy, Eddie, and Frank having a sleepover together! Most of the puppets get pretty bad nightmares, so to combat that they have sleepovers with each other!!
(Frank’s just annoyed that he can’t work on his theorizing now… don’t worry, he secretly likes it despite his grumpiness.)

ITSSS THE MEMEMEMMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEE (I think I referenced this meself!!)
WEHEHEHEHEHEHE ITS SOOOO COOOL!!!!
Franks gone too deep. TOO DEEP!!!
I can imagine the conversation happening like this:
Frank: Eddie I swear IM ONTO SOMETHING. Wally dressed up as a demon in the Halloween picture and god knows that something culty is happening in this neighborhood--
Eddie: Frank, no.
Frank: SO WHAT IF WALLY IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF????
Eddie: Frank, that's... No. No, Frank. He ain't.
Frank: ....You're right.
Frank: HOME IS. THE WEIRD FREAKY POWERS? THE WAY HE WATCHES US ALL THE TIME??? IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!!! PERHAPS IN ORDER TO GET OUT WE NEED TO SACRIFICE SOMEONE. I VOTE BARNABY!!!
Eddie: Frank, please.
From my “leaving home” au https://www.tumblr.com/mabeljonesrock/717587488793886720/leaving-home-au?source=share What the puppets be like after many years of staying in the real world?
Thats too far into the story to even say bud! Rn, Im in the beginning stages of the AU! And I wont work on any story parts until the next update happens!
I love how your digital drawings look !! I live the textures that you use for them, they look like they belong in a picture book ^^
OMG THANK YOU ANON!!
Those digital recreations are basically me trying to figure out how Digital Art works!! Layering, clipping modes, all of it is super confusing going from traditional to digital!! Not to mention that all I have is an iPhone and me finger to do so… (Lineart REALLY sucks)
I was looking at Clown’s art and trying to recreate his story-book style of digital art! So like, watercolors and pastel colors!!
I’m doing another digital painting and I’m trying to explore a new style with each one!! But thank you again Anon!!
OK THIS WAS WAYY TOO FUNNY NOT TO DRAW
Poor Howdy just wants to go to sleep. He’s too tired for all this nonsense (plus he just wants to cuddle!!)
Text if it’s a bit hard to see!
Eddie: Come to bed!!
Frank: NEVERRR!!!
Eddie: Frank, it’s 3 AM!
Frank: I am THIS close to solving it, Edd-
Eddie: NO!!! You are going straight to bed!!
Frank: OVER MY DEAD BODY.

TW SCOPOPHOBIA
Working on smth!! A REALLY big painting (it’s taking super long!)
Here’s a piece of it! A lil sneak peek!!
TW SCOPOPHOBIA
“Truth”
Character: Frank Frankly
Style: Oil Painting
Time spent: 9 hours
ITS DONE!! ITS FINALLY DONE HOLY SHIT WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! UGH THIS TOOK WAYHH TO LONG!! …Half that time was just messing with colors and brushes…. Then after 4 hours me mind turned to mush so I said “FUCK IT” and added WAY too many colors
BUT AH
LOOK AT IT
ITS SOOOO PRETTY
Can it be better? Of course!! But oh I’m happy with just this.
Oh for context, I’m making a challenge for myself to get better at digital art!!
Say what you want about SAS!Home, but you gotta admit that it takes pretty good care of Wally.
I can imagine Home using curtains as hands to hold the book up… idk if it works well on paper tho. (Something does not look right!!)
Here’s the aftermath!! Wally snuggling up. He has extra pillows here cause Home thought Wally wasn’t comfy enough.
Here’s a Home reaction too!!
I hate to bother but what all the Puppets sleep schedules
Oh you are never a bother Anon!!
As for the sleep schedules... they are nothing good I can tell you that.
We've all seen Frank's horrendous sleep schedule so Imma skip over them.
As for the others:
Wally- The BEST sleep EVER. Surrounded by comfy pillows, a glass of milk and cookies on his nightstand, and read by a sentient house, Wally Darling gets the best sleep outta all of them. He wakes up at 6 AM and goes to bed by 8PM.
Poppy- Tries to be "responsible" and get a good 8 hrs of sleep, buuut she ends up either practicing her stitch-work, knitting, or reading a long book before going to bed. She'll get a good 6 hours of sleep.
Sally- Yeah you KNOW she aint getting enough sleep. She spends most of the night perfectly practicing her lines in front of the mirror, once she's satisfied, she goes to bed.... which knowing her, will probably take a while. She gets a good 4 hrs at MOST.
Barnaby- Oh boy. Ok so most of the puppets here get too little sleep, while Barnaby is the COMPLETE opposite. He gets a wee bit too much. He gets super tired so he goes to bed real early... the problem is that he gets so tired that he doesn't want to get outta bed. The rest of the puppets (either Sally or Julie) have to drag him outta bed or convince him to get up. He gets around 10-12 hrs of sleep.
Eddie- Eddie is one of the few that manages to get a good night of sleep, or at least he tries. If he isn't awoken by Frank's theory ramblings, he'll get a solid 8 hrs of sleep!
Julie- Julie's schedule is also pretty bad. Even if she gets to bed at the "appropriate" hour, her mind is wide awake and way too restless. Most of the time, she'll pull an all nighter. She'll pass the time by either dancing, singing (quietly), painting, or screaming into a pillow.
Howdy- Also one of the worst sleep schedules. Like Eddie and Poppy, he TRIES to get a good 8 hrs of sleep, but like Julie he'll pull an all nighter. He's usually plagued by night terrors so he's terrified of going to sleep.
Although this looks pretty bad (and believe me it is), as I mentioned before, they usually combat this by having sleepovers! Battling self-awareness is a lot easier when you have someone to cuddle with!
Most of the puppets go to Poppy's barn after having a nightmare and they'll do lots of activities before going to bed. Poppy (being the best mama bird) will read them all a bed-time story, Barnaby and Howdy will crack a few jokes, Julie will dance with the rest of the puppets, Sally will put on a play (the rest of the puppets will ofc be casted as characters), Eddie will bring in some arts-n-crafts supplies from the post office, Frank will tell the rest of the puppets his latest findings, and to finish everything, Barnaby will sing lullabies to rock them all to sleep (Oh you know which lullaby! And if ya don't, its Beautiful Dreamer)
Yes, this also ends in a massive cuddle party! Frank is usually in the middle and tries to sneak out, but he's usually caught by Poppy.
Poppy: Frank...
Frank: Yes...?
Poppy: What are you doing?
Frank: Catchiiingggg some midnight butterflies....?
Poppy:....
Frank: (long-ass sigh): Fiiineeeeeeee...
Can we see some more of sally please
Of course you can!!
Here’s SAS! Sally!! Ain’t she Perfect?
Ok maybe not always perfect, but she’s definitely coping well!
Definitely not staying up past 2 AM practicing her lines!! Nope!! Nuh-uh!!
Also, here’s Madame Estelle (it’s Sally in a costume) teaching Eddie how to properly balance books! He has to do it correctly!!
AHHHHH I LOVE HIM!!! You know what? It’s cannon that he loves to garden now.
YOU ALSO KNOW WHAT??? You inspired me!!!
Imma design a human!Home!!!!
i drew some homes..
im normal.
I felt like drawing SAS home (and RCS along with 7S) as humans so like. Yeah.
@anonymous-paperbag ur idea that SAS uses his curtains as hands is yes Lmao. I gave him red gardening gloves.. ye (I'm guessing Home's curtains are red lol)
love how this turned out. I haven't drawn any RCS in a while and this felt needed.
I gave him a messy man-bun, fight me about it.
:D he's a goober. I love this sassy leader of hell version of Home lmao..
I forgot a detail on 7S and now I'm sad lol.
Working on more drawings with them because they seem like 3 old geezers that talk and make terrible dad jokes lMaO.
NDKSKSJSKEKE HANNABEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Poor girl 🥲🥲🥲
OH!! Forgot to mention about Home!! It does “sleep” during the night!! It wakes up when Wally’s awake and goes to sleep when Wally’s asleep! That’s why the puppets have sleepovers mostly because it’s the only bit of freedom that they really have, they just have to be quiet so they don’t wake them up!!
However, I do understand that Hanabee could be a incredibly paranoid that Home is watching the rest of them, even though it isn’t.
Also, I might draw her later!! She’s sooooo prettyyyy!!! Pretty bug lady 💕💕💕
Also also I have a gift that I’m working on!! (No hints on what it is tho!! It’s a surprise!!)
H… Hanabee SAS au? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
(Lmao im sorry if the SAS asks are annoying 😭)
:OOO their not annoying at all anon!! Actually no asks are annoying lol.
ANYWAY
She would definitely not understand it as first like- would not compute. 'a... kids show????' she would take it a bit literally and then go searching for actual children because.. shes not all that bright.
After she realizes what they meant she just kinda- stops working I suppose. I mean, everything had felt like they really happened!! Liek- everything with her family, her friends.. it was all a lie?? She definitely has a bit of a identity crisis, but it's soon resolved when she finds a new reason to keep pushing forward. everyone is always so stressed anymore, so, even if they don't want her help, she'll try and make them feel better. Or at least tear them away from their work (the number of times she would grab frank and lift him over her head laughing like a mad man is insane..)
Of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't mess up! Although the burden of her world not even being real doesn't effect her as much as some, she still definitely messes up. She tends to accidentally mention what her and the other neighbors have talked about to Wally, mostly because shes just trying to understand it, ending up in her being punished.
She's probably the second most punished out of everyone in all honesty. She's definitely gotten alot clumsier lmao, so she joins in on Sally's lessons. Though she doesn't like the fact Sally tends to yell at them, spefically Eddie. She's naturally protective, so she might get a little bit protective over Eddie when she does :')
Homes favorite punishment for her was to tear off her wings. But after a while, she just.. gave up on trying to have them fixed all the time. It was extremely painful when they were torn off, so she just.. stopped letting Poppy fix her. Poppy just patched up the holes on her back.
Anytime Wally asks what happened to her wings, she'll (try) and keep a calm exterior and say 'just a little accident, that's all. You know how I am!' and then.. move on. And Wally believes her. Why wouldn't he, his friends wouldn't lie!
Due to her being Howdys cousin (at least that's what she knows..) she trys to take care of him. She doesn't exactly know how to stop Howdy from drinking, aside from force which she's learned isn't the best way, so instead she just.. takes care of him when he's passed out, or deathly drunk. If it's during the day, she'll try and run the shop to the best of her abilitys (she isn't the best to say the least)
She also avoids it when the neighbors collab to try and sleep.. normally to the point we have Mr 'coping very well with my problems' dragging her out of the storage room. Although howdy doesn't even have any fake memories of her, she's the closest thing to family he has.
She tends to avoid the sleepovers not just due to nightmares or night terrors, but she can always feel the stare of that house on her, even more so during the night..
So, like you might think, even when everyone else is finally asleep, she's still awake, looking out the window to Wally's home, waiting for it to stir towards them..
She might be a bit more stressed, but she's still the silly (a little dumb) Hanabee we know
