chat I’m considering making an ask-Basil blog bc I’ve seen a few of them and it looks so incredibly fun but like- aifhvnsjchfhdjfu

should I? 😅

Exactly!!! There’s just no way for Basil to have just figured out how to tie a hangman’s knot (thanks for giving me the slightly-less dark term for it :P) on the fly like that… and now that I’m thinking about it, without practice. I tried to use a piece of thread the other day that I’d found (strange ik but eh) to make that knot, just to see if I could, and I didn’t use a guide or anything. Basil wouldn’t have had a guide with him- the chances of that are INCREDIBLY unlikely. And it’s not like he could’ve just googled it with ease, given the time period. Which probably means he’d tied a hangman’s knot before :C My poor little beannn 😭

So I feel like it’s not a leap to conclude that Basil had probably either attempted even before the incident with Mari, or he’s seen someone else do it. Either way, it means he’s probably seen death before, or tried to go to it T^T

Ughhhhhshfyyvdyyfyf and this is why I hate it when people say Basil is terrible

(<3 You’re awesome-ER!!! :D)

So- Omori rant rq since I'm listening to some VAs play through it cause I can't sleep.

Spoilers Below, obviously.

So- it's canon that Sunny was daydreaming of his little headspace FAR before Mari's death. It's in one of the books in the Forgotten Library (the place you fall into after defeating SweetHeart).

Headspace was an escape for him so that he could have his friends back, before they gave him the violin- hence why it never happened in the headpace timeline. To escape the pressure of not wanting to let them down, he created Headspace- but he got addicted to it and started to use it to avoid paying attention during school or whenever he was feeling pressured.

When Mari passed, Headspace took over his life- his parents split up, he was wracked with immense guilt, he couldn't bring himself to leave the house or even bed at first. His mother was forced to withdraw him from school since he had missed so many days, in order to prevent legal action being taken and her risking losing her only child left to his father or to CPS (logical guess, no actual proof other than he was taken out of school).

Sunny dived so deep into Headspace, that he was forced to create his Omori persona when he had gone too far and his brain created BlackSpace once it ran out of ideas- the place his guilt, regrets, and grief went to die everytime he allowed himself to sleep.

Sunny was always a maladaptive dreamer, but it steadily got worse overtime. As a maladaptive dreamer myself- I sympathize heavily with him and his coping mechanisms. His friends and family failed to see the signs that he was losing touch on reality, and when his big sister died- by his hands no less? He lost himself entirely. You can see when it happens in the photos you see of the truth.

When he realizes Mari isn't going to wake up? When he realizes she isn't breathing? His world shattered and he was paralyzed in his guilt- since he was so unresponsive, Basil did the only thing he could think of and tried to protect Sunny. In the process, gaslighting himself into having seen Something pushing Mari instead of Sunny.

Which, honestly, is also highly concerning. Why did Basil previously know how to tie a noose when he was only twelve..? My thoughts immediately go to his neglectful parents- maybe he had attempted before and that was the whole reason he was sent to live with his grandmother? To keep an eye on him, until she got sick and they hired Polly. Idk but that'd make sense.

ANYWHO- if anyone would like Omori oneshots, send in some requests. Be it tooth rotting fluff or heart wrenching angst- send it my way, I need a break from my books.

CHAT THE IDES OF MARCH IS TOMORROW LETS GOOO- :DDD

anyways here’s a knife for no particular reason or anything 🗡️

booped so hard i accidentally unfollowed omc

LMAOOO XD

EXCUSE ME WHAT??? AHHH THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! 😭🫶🫶🫶 I LOVE YOU GUYS :3

Gladly! :3 they’re all incredibly disorganized half-formed thoughts btw, sooo fair warning that it’s a bit chaotic TvT

Each character has attacks related to their flower and likely either has their assigned flower in their hair or a flower crown of said flower. Personally, I like to imagine that Sunny and Basil would be the only ones to have flower crowns. 

Basil’s headspace is very different than Sunny’s. All the characters are their current ages. Aubrey is a frequent character Basil has to battle, though you always end up losing to her, or refusing to do damage. Depending on what’s happening outside of headspace, Kel sometimes aids in battles and is the one who urges Basil to fight Aubrey back. Hero is elsewhere in headspace, doing his own thing (idrk what to do about him, but he probably comes back when he visits from college). Mari isn’t exactly gone, but she’s not there as a normal character. Sometimes, her spirit is glimpsed, just like how it is in Sunny’s headspace. 

Unlike Sunny’s headspace being warm and happy and friendly, Basil’s is much darker. As if how Sunny couldn’t think of the Mari’s death and repressed it entirely, Basil could hardly stop thinking about it. Maybe the entire thing is monochrome except for his flowers. 

All the other characters have lost their flowers, and have either grown monochrome or a different color than their own. Each boss defeated (and the bosses aren’t fun and cool like Sunny’s; they’re more like the Somethings/phobias), Basil collects a new flower; one for each of his friends. Kel’s cactus is first, then Hero’s rose, then Aubrey’s gladiolus. 

I’m just gonna come up with some plot points for the three days from Basil’s POV if he had a headspace. On the final night, Basil’s headspace goes full nightmare-mode, partially why Basil is still awake on the final night. The nightmare kind of bleeds into reality as hallucinations, aka the Somethings. If Sunny doesn’t save Basil, the nightmare takes over, and… Well, you know what happens next. If Sunny DOES save Basil, Basil sees Sunny as Something, and Basil fights it, trying to stab the Something in the eye. Of course, he ends up stabbing SUNNY’S eye. Basil realizes what he’s done, and stabs himself. He ends up in headspace again. Headspace Sunny finds him, and leads him to the orchid flower, which is guarded by Something (both his own and Sunny’s, though kind of merged and shifting forms). They try to fight it, and eventually Basil realizes that he can’t. The way isn’t to fight the Something- instead, it’s just to calm down, hold each others’ hands, and trust in each other. Good ending, Something fades away, and they both water the orchid together with their tears, and the flower blooms. Bad end, Sunny fades away, leaving Basil to water it on his own, with his tears, but as his tears aren’t enough to fully water the flower. 

Hear me out

Basil has his own headspace

Idk, could be cool
