The Reboot Wally Animation stems from the vibrant Welcome Home fandom, specifically focusing on the character Wally Darling. This particular animation style, often featuring smooth yet glitchy movements, went viral on platforms like TikTok and Twitter as users began applying it to relatable 'reboot' moments. It typically represents that feeling of mental exhaustion, social battery depletion, or simply zoning out into a repetitive, mindless loop. The meme has become a staple for internet users to humorously depict their internal processing states through Wally's hypnotic and expressive movements, making it a go-to template for depicting relatably awkward or overwhelming situations.
