Cupid He Rules Us All
2k words
FranklyDear
fluff (and a smidgen of angst)
Frank felt a sting in his throat. No, that was not the time to get sentimental.
But when was it, then?
In the darkness of his bedroom? Perhaps.
The weight was always heavier, though. Up there, his mind felt clearer.
Too clear.
His head fell between his arms, stretched on the balcony.
“Romeo. Oh, Romeo. My sweet, sweet flower-”

still obsessed with the presence of Mihawk in opla s2. he shows up -> roasts Zoro -> is cunty -> doesn’t elaborate -> leaves
I think it’s absurd to have to remind people that this is an adaptation of a manga that’s been running for over 25 years with more than 1,000 chapters. With all the information they already have and everything that’s been revealed in the story, it’s completely normal for them to compress things, move certain information forward, or introduce it earlier, because it makes narrative sense in an audiovisual format.
It wouldn’t make sense to wait that long to start showing the first hints of the Revolutionary Army or characters like Bartolomeo, or to avoid planting seeds about things like Laugh Valley, because these are crucial elements for the core plot of the story. And a TV series isn’t a manga or an anime that can run for a thousand episodes, it’s a different format with a different narrative style.
The people complaining about this clearly have no idea how these things work. We can talk about obvious flaws like the pacing sometimes, or details that are relevant for certain characters (like emphasizing why Zoro is triggered by Tashigi), but setting up certain important plot points for future seasons is a logical and smart decision.
And honestly, I can’t stand the manga-purist dudebros who clearly can’t tell the difference between a TV adaptation and a straight-up copy of the anime. Guys, this isn’t a copy of the anime, and it can’t be one for obvious narrative reasons, so please stop whining about it.
A lot of people are wondering why Zoro is hallucinating Mihawk.
Well, it’s because they did an absolutely incredible job adapting his character and he ended up being peak casting, so they didn’t want to drop the actor since he has all the aura. So they’re using the post-traumatic mental haunting trope to 1) keep him in the story in some way and 2) visually emphasise the constant inner monologue of self-improvement that Zoro usually has, but which they can’t translate explicitly on screen because it wouldn’t fit the tone of the series.
It really doesn’t seem that hard to reach these conclusions, I don’t understand why people are overthinking it so much.

A small theory on a particular parcel…
I was having similar thoughts about this parcel, too!
If "Mail-in-Time Day" used to happen in February, then Julie would not have been present as she would've been sleeping. But she's in the Valentine cards.
Either the cards were just merch that had nothing to do with the canon or "Mail-in-Time Day" was on a different month.
About the parcel itself, my theory is that Eddie made it, based on two details:
it's written "Mail-N-Time Day", an abbreviation that's typical of Southern USA way of speaking
Eddie is often associated with hearts, and tends to draw hearts on his "I"s
Now, both Eddie and Julie have a similar handwriting, but an explanation might be that the same person on the ARG team writes their letters and notes.
That being said...
If Eddie made the gift, and the event happened in winter, how did the gift arrive in Julie's room? Did Julie really hide it? Or did she find it after someone else had buried it? Or did Frank place it there during his winter visits?

Last theory explored the Mail-in-Time cards and their possible origin. Let's add a new piece to the puzzle.
"Rainbow Letters" Eddie Dear Playset
dated 1971, unknown manufacturer
the envelopes are inspired by the characters
probably from an activity set based on Eddie Dear
"whoever enjoyed this playset had a grand time pretending to mail letters to their favorite Playfellow puppets!"
It's clear the last point is meant to raise questions, as it's quite unlikely a child pretended to be different characters using this many handwritings.
So for now I say these are all private letters that Wally received up to 1971, the same year the Mail-in-Time Day cards were probably made.
All that said let's go to Frank's letter, the actual focus of this post.
Three things about this letter:
Frank is very good at drawing
the envelope is not in his main colours
he used coloured pencils
1) Frank is a good artist
We're used to seeing Wally as the artist of the neighbourhood. But here we have Frank depicting details of an in-universe bug, with different angles and shading, too. And that's not a one-off thing either...
Not only is Frank an artist: Wally goes to him when he needs a specific picture, such as the telephone button.
2) The envelope's colours
These are exactly the colours of Frank's house. It could solve the questions around the choice of envelope, if not for what WHRP tells us:
"This array of brightly colored letters seem to be inspired by the equally colorful neighbors of Home, such as Howdy Pillar, Frank Frankly, and Barnaby B. Beagle."
They're right about Barnaby and Howdy's envelopes. So why does Frank have his house's colours instead of his own?
3) The coloured pencils
That shouldn't be a note-worthy detail: Wally uses paint, Julie uses chalk, so maybe Frank is fond of coloured pencils.
Theory Time
Now, I ask you to follow my reasoning: it may look absurd -and it probably is- but it's essential you understand, because it's the first step of a journey. One that will try to give a timeline to Welcome Home. At least, until new updates will contradict all of this...
Let's start with the envelope. There is, in fact, a drawing that would explain the colours:
I've mentioned this picture in last theory, but I also feel the need to note that the coloured version is non-canon material. However, by choosing to use it in the ARG, Clown might have given it some purpouse, who knows...
Regarding the coloured pencils, I have to get back to what I was saying about the Valentine cards: it's possible Frank may have had a hand in their making, since a handwriting similar to his can be found on Sally's card. Maybe he did more than just writing, maybe he also embellished some of them.
Frank possibly helping Eddie with the Mail-in-Time cards in 1971 and the newspaper showing the two carrying mail together in 1969 could be a clue that the two had a different dynamic at first. Then there's the envelope that shares the same colours as Frank's 1969 image. Were those Frank's original colours, since they're the same as his house? Why have they changed, if so? And when?
I -or better, my friend and I- have an answer to that, which needs a separate post. But I'll leave a preview:
"It’s possible that Frank’s existence was ended early in the show’s run or his character had been introduced later on when creative changes took place." -WHRP
