So okay there's some arguments i hear from people why Home x Wally is not valid ship, so i decided to explain these and try to counterargument them! If you have an argument of your own feel free to write it in the comments :3
1)"This is incest! They like father and son to each other"
Canon of the show is that Wally didn't know Home before the he moved into him and also he like. A Building. If we're going to build on the show's lore Its would be just popular headcanon. Just because you see them as parent and child doesn't meen everyone does ăâ ăłâ :â 彥
Some people are like to thing that Home is a creator of the show/his soul in there. I get it too, this theory KINDA makes sense, but still... We didn't see Wally acting like Home is his creator/getting revenge on Home for make their life hell (you can count worshiping as a sight but evidence is too weak), they are pretty chill with each other! Plus, it doesn't explain why Home is doesn't like humans, and from new update we learn that Welcome home is another world, so this theory is 99,99% is false i think
2) "Home is a building!"
Eah. LIVING building. With emotions and fears. Home is fully aware and sentient, it just so happened to have a different body then the rest of the puppets
3)"Home is abusive/evil!"
I understand why some people see them having Dynamic like this, but honestly I never saw it as inherently abusive? Maybe Wally is actually obsessed with Home, or maybe itâs the opposite, or theyâre both crazy about each other, but it could also just that they act the way they do because of their self awareness. I do also think theyâre overprotective of each other as well.
I just canât see them *not* having any kind of close relationship, I mean Wally literally takes care of her, serenades him, and even blows them kisses and Home does similar gestures back at him! The feeling is mutual here.
3)"Wally is worshiping Home! Its unhealthy"
The only evidence of Home being worshiped by Wally is "so bellow" page.
I know technically it couldâve been used as evidence as Wally worshiping Home as a god but I think there are many other ways to interpret that drawing on the site⌠Like, I donât think Wally is viewing her as some powerful entity, I think Wally is just obsessed with he. Not in a worshipping way but more like in a âyou mean everything to me and I wouldnât let anyone come between usâ way. Also because of how Homeâs eyeâs are, the drawing couldâve easily been outside just as it couldâve been inside (we canât really tell since itâs all black). And even if it was inside, I donât think that means Wally canât leave Home, honestly I donât even think heâd want to anyway. Theyâre both mutually bonded to each other
3)"Wally/Barnaby is canon, so you can't ship Wally with Home"
First. Wally/Barnaby isn't confirmed canon. Yes, there have been many, and I mean MANY, hints at this ship. I personally think that in fact in near future it is going to be canon. Second. Im still allowed to do whatever i want with them. They are my comfort ship, they make me happy and it doesn't hurt anyone.
So, what's conclusion?
People like to think that their personal disliking of the ship is a valid point to bully shippers. They would make TONS AND TONS of excuses just to make others dislike it too. "They like son and father!", "They are abusive!", "This is proship, its gross!' despite not having evidence at all. Idk why ppl so scared to say "I don't personally like Home/Wally, its not for me" and go with their lifes. It much easier then to digging internet searching for art of them two and then show it to others saying: " LOOK HOW GROSS IT IS!!! SHIPPERS OF THIS SHIP IS TOTALLY UNHINGED!!!! How lucky we are not to be this stupid đđđ"
It hurts. A little.
Life is so much better when you just not interact with things you donât like, wish more people realised that tbh. Especially in fandom, because people get so mad over ships and headcanons when they could justâŚ. Not interact? The more you seek out the content, the more itâll appear in your feed because itâs how a for you page works. The algorithm shows you things it thinks you will like based off previous posts youâve viewedâŚâŚ
Like Iâm just shipping these silly little puppets together and making headcanons Iâm not hurting anyone đ
Thanks to @serillian for helping me with this one -â áâ á´Ľâ áâ -
