To Answer Your Theory About Omori And The Closet, The Black Light Bulb In The Headspace Is Synonymous

Concept: Daisuke comes out as something other than straight (ofc) and the crew surprises him with a coming-out party instead of the shared birthday and it was Swansea’s idea but he’d never admit it

I’m in my US government class rn and the teacher is going over again how we need to be respectful of each other’s beliefs no matter how we voted or who we supported and like. What if someone’s wrong? I’m a VERY open-minded person but I draw a hard line when it comes to someone’s opinions being homophobic, ableist, racist, etc. And Trump is all of the above. So what, they expect me to act like nothing’s wrong if someone in my class says something wrong???

This has to be one of the best-written Omori rants I have ever seen holy heck-

Also yeah I agree that it’s incredibly concerning as to how Basil knew how to tie a n00s3 at the age of TWELVE FREAKING YEARS OLD. A lot of people I’ve met say he learned it bc it’s similar to making a flower crown, but as someone who’s made a flower crown before, it’s not similar enough that he’d know so easily.

I love these characters too muchhh TvT

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.

Reblog this post to ask mutuals to tell you their weirdest theory about u

You ever have that thing where your screen is dirty and preventing you from drawing with your stylus because it’ll squeak

but then you procrastinate cleaning the screen

and so you’re just like

Ooo that’s fair!!! I like this take very much :D

Aight so Poppy Playtime moment of some random rant stuff

Kevin is autistic. Like there’s no freaking way he’s not. He’s clearly a morally good kid, and he seems sweet, and he has friends- as shown in the chapter three tape where a kid named Joseph is asking if Kevin will be okay. I hate when people just depict him as a chronically angry kid T^T during the Doey battle, we hear him say “Too loud”, seemingly referring to nothing in particular. He *could* be referring to the fact that there are three different people making up Doey, but I don’t think so. Personally, that just sounds very much like overstimulation to me. Kevin is considered a ‘problem child’, and also seems to have difficulty regulating and understanding his emotions. As an autistic person, I relate to that a lot, though I don’t have the same response to triggers as Kevin TvT

I like to think that Kevin is autistic, Jack is ADHD, and Matthew is neurotypical just so that it’s like Doey has collected the whole trilogy like Pokémon

Also Kissy Missy is the literal definition of comfort character material. She’s soft and fluffy, helps us even when she doesn’t have to, risks her life and LOSES HER ARM trying to save us at the end of chapter four. Even when Poppy betrays us she tries to protect us. Like my freaking god if that isn’t comfort character material, idk what is

Yeah!!! This is why I love this game so much (same reason I love Fnaf as well- LOREEE) :D plus, it’s really fun to talk about it with people and theorize and infodump! :3

Edit: I found out that apparently Polly says that Basil lived with his grandma since he was a toddler so I did end up editing this post TvT

Currently, my timeline idea of the wilted flower theory is: 

   Basil's parents were never really around. We don't know his exact backstory of history with them, but he’s been living with his grandma since he was a toddler. It’s HEAVILY implied that Basil didn’t have many or any friends until the friend group sort of took him in. As someone who struggled a lot with friendships around the same age as Basil would’ve been, that really does make you feel lonely. He had his grandma, of course, but I can imagine it’d still be hard without his parents. This bit is more speculation, but that might’ve partially led to his apparent fear of abandonment. 

   Little Basil is friendless. Maybe even bullied at the time- after all, it’s a small town that’s very religious, and Basil isn’t exactly the definition of masculinity. There’s a possibility that could’ve led to bullying, though I have no real evidence for that. His parents aren’t around, and he has no friends. Especially at his age in development, that could easily lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. Not to mention, we still don’t fully know what Basil’s relationship with his grandma was like, even if it was a good one. All of this combined could very well lead to su!c!dal thoughts. Big traumas aren’t the only thing that can cause mental illness. 

   So when the friend group takes Basil in, he’s finally found people who don’t make him feel so lonely. They’re people who love and accept him like family. He’s especially close to Sunny, who makes him feel listened to. We can clearly see the bond they have, whether platonic or romantic- in the majority of the Basil’s photos and the scenes we see in the Final Duet, he and Sunny are often shown closer together. Basil shares his hopes, his dreams, and his greatest fears to Sunny, the closest friend he’s ever had. 

   And then... The incident. Basil sees Sunny, that friend who he trusts, possibly more than anyone in the world, arguing with his sister, and that dreaded moment when Sunny pushes her. She falls down the stairs, and eventually it becomes clear that she's dead. Basil doesn't want anything to happen to Sunny; he doesn't want to lose him, to lose the person he cares about possibly more than anyone else. He doesn’t want to be alone again. So he does the only thing he can think to do. The first thing to come to his mind is the n00se, because that's something that is or was frequently on his own mind. And he finally does it- he ties the n00se, but it's not for him, at least, not this time. 

   Soon after, the friend group falls apart. The only friends Basil has ever had, and from his perspective, he was the one who ruined it for them all. Which is why he so desperately clings to Sunny as a friend, the one lifeline that shows he’s not alone. And when his grandma’s condition deteriorates? That made him feel even more alone. 

Not only does this storyline explain how Basil knows how to tie a hangman's knot, but it also explains a lot about his character. Fear of abandonment, and reason that framing Mari's death as a su!c!de was the first thing to come to mind to protect his best friend, because the thought of su!c!de never wandered far from his mind. 

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