WallyPillar is the slash ship between Wally Darling and Howdy Pillar from the Welcome Home fandom.
Canon[]
Wally and Howdy are both residents of the Neighborhood, Howdy works there as a shopkeeper while Wally doesn't seem to have an official occupation. Though their character bios don't mention each other, Howdy's does state that Wally's best friend Barnaby is Howdy's favorite customer and thus Wally's and Howdy's relationship can be seen as mostly existing because of Barnaby.
Merchandise Page[]
In the storybook record for "Eddie's Big Lift", Wally overhears Julie excitedly exclaim that Eddie should lift Howdy, Poppy and finally Home after he just collapsed from trying to lift Barnaby. When Barnaby tells Wally to come along to watch the show, Wally misinterprets the situation as Eddie carrying Home. Thus he muses about all of them going to Howdy's Place later, with Home being allowed to pick out his own hot dog.
In the storybook "Happy Haunting to Boo and Yours", Wally and Howdy are both invited to Sally's "Macabre Menagerie of Monstrous Mischief-Making"-Party, with Wally being one of the first guests and Howdy being one of the last. As soon as Howdy sees his "favorite regular" (most likely Barnaby) he bolts past Sally to join him and Wally. After Howdy tells a very unscary story of him needing to give a bedsheet out for free for himself (as his costume), Wally asks Sally if he can tell a story next, but his story was even less scary. However, Sally takes the turn to tell a genuinely scary story, one that had everyone (even Wally) screaming as Poppy interrupted it to announce that the snacks are ready.
Media Page[]
One of the Mystery Audios centers around Barnaby and Wally visiting Howdy's Place, presumably during a regular episode of the Welcome Home show. Upon Howdy asking what he can do for them, Barnaby orders "the usual" for both of them, which leads to Howdy making a corny joke about giving his usuals the usual. However, Wally does not immediately understand and asks Barnaby why he asked for "the usual" when he thought they were getting hot dogs, leading to Barnaby having to explain that hot dogs are their usual. When Howdy asks for them to pay, the neighborhood using laughs as currency, Barnaby pays for Wally by telling Howdy a joke that makes both him and Wally laugh. When Howdy asks Wally if he's got any "silly yarns" today, Wally says that he doesn't, but does have a joke. Howdy starts laughing, believing Wally misunderstanding him was already the joke, but then Barnaby has to tell Wally to say the joke he actually wanted to tell. Wally makes a pun about Barnaby "relishing" a hot dog to eat it, which causes Howdy to laugh just as hard as he did before and comment that Wally is getting better at jokes. Howdy says that one day, he will be able to pay for his and Barnaby's hot dogs, but Wally says that he likes it when Barnaby pays for them.
Hidden Content[]
Once the website had literal bugs scattered across the different pages, linking to a hidden video filmed from Wally's perspective about him overhearing his neighbors talk to oneanother until one of them notices him, calling his name caused the video to abruptly end. One of them had Wally visiting Poppy while she was getting an order from Howdy. Another has Wally seemingly just idling about in Howdy's Place while Sally was shopping there, the video ends with Howdy noticing Wally and asking him what he get for him today. Another one has Barnaby and Howdy chat about their family members while Wally just stares at the strawberry soda Howdy presumably served them earlier, it cuts off when Barnaby asks Wally what he thinks of the soda. One of the last ones has Wally at Howdy's place again while Eddie visits, nearly making a mess by delivering bowling balls, this time, Howdy tells Wally to hope that Eddie doesn't run into anyone with that order.
Fanon[]
WallyPillar is one of the more popular ships for Welcome Home, being the most popular ship for Howdy and the second-most popular ship for Wally (not counting self-inserts or OCs). A common headcanon about them is Wally stealing apples from Howdy's store while he's not looking, which is sometimes exaggerated to Wally outright messing with him for laughs. This had died down after their dynamic received more focus, but it persists as a fandom in-joke.
