Omori Basil - Blog Posts

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.

Holy heck this is the cutest thing to appear on my fyp ever thank you for this-

I would like to ship out a couple dozen of these Dwarf Bagels to you

Okay so I know a lot of people argue that Basil dying a lot in Blackspace means Sunny hates Basil (I think that was what you were referring to by saying Basil was killed constantly? Sorry if I misinterpreted that TvT). HOWEVER, I actually think there’s a lot of evidence to support that it means he cares for Basil a lot, and can be interpreted as repressed (romantic and/or platonic). In Blackspace, you still play as Omori. I’d like to address the spider-room death first. Basil starts being swarmed and covered in spiders, and eventually cries out to Omori for help. Omori backs away from Basil, and Basil disappears as the spiders presumably consume him. Notably, Omori is the one in control here. In the game, we play as Sunny; anytime we lose control of the Omori character, it presumably means that Sunny also does not have conscious control over Omori. Another thing that might be worth mentioning, is that although Omori technically overcame his fear of spiders in headspace, this is no longer headspace. This bit is more up to speculative, but it can be interpreted that Omori was too scared to save Basil from the spiders because he himself was scared of them. In which case, this death could also be interpreted as Sunny’s own fear causing pain for the people he cares about, something that we see at other points in the game.

Another particular Basil death that might be worth addressing, is the one in the glitched Neighbor’s room, where the headspace friends turn on him, and he cries to Omori for help before Aubrey hits him with her bat. To me, this very much doesn’t read as Sunny wanting Basil to die. It feels a lot more like he’s helpless to do anything- Because yet again, at that moment, we cannot control Omori anymore, and neither can Sunny. He doesn’t want Basil to die; he just feels powerless to do anything about it. Also, the many possibly interpretations of Aubrey being the one to unalive Basil here. I do think that Aubrey hitting him with her bat is likely a nod to the fact that she’s been bullying Basil in the real world. Even more fuel that Sunny feels helpless to save Basil from being hurt for Sunny’s own actions (Mari’s death, scribbling out the photos). Another possible interpretation (and one that is, admittedly, a lot less likely), is that it’s Sunny’s idolized crush, that he’s held onto for so long, is trying push down and get rid of the crush he has on Basil. It could possibly be taken as a sign of repressed feelings for Basil, whether that be because he hasn’t accepted his bisexuality (or whatever your personal headcanon may be), or he’s simply scared of letting go of his old crush.

There’s a lot more Blackspace stuff I could go into, but this is really long already aaand I’m in class TvT

TLDR; Blackspace has a lot of evidence of 🏳️‍🌈🌻

every day the Branch Coral line about Sunny and Basil being tied together with a string of fate

like,,, soulmates? your honour? string of fate??? perhaps the,,, red string of fate?

it doesn’t even have to be romantic, it just feels like a soulmate thing! like Sunny and Basil are tied together after this single incident, they will always be intertwined after that day

they may not have been known it, but they are so heavily intertwined together that even Sunny’s subconscious picked up on it. even coping mechanism calls out how the two are connected.

it’s like - sir, the mixed signals of killing Basil constantly but then essentially using soulmate theory? do you hate him or want to kiss him? (/j)

also, with that joke, i do actually ship Sunflower, and this line speaks to the hopeless romantic in me to some degree - because what do you mean Sunny thinks “a string of fate” ties them together? like it’s super dark, but also kinda gay. just slightly.

anyways, the Branch Coral was super cool and i love the slight soulmate implications on Basil and Sunny even though it’s super screwed up!

(also there’s the line - it’s so minor but like dude-?! the sheer gayness of this is amazing /j)

Be not afraid.

🌸✨

So the other night I had a dream where Basil was a fairy and he kissed me- 😅

Inktober for yesterday; I am running out of motivation AND ideas, yayyy 💀

I miss you, Sunny. You were always someone I could depend on to listen.

🖤

Stranger my beloveddd :3

A) I have no idea why I did this

B) Yes I did reuse the model for eye-straining babil because I do not have the mental capacity to exist anymore

C) I hope you’re having a lovely day! :D

Sunflowers- They always face towards the sun. That’s how I want to be like.

Sorry this is so late; this is the inktober for yesterday TvT also so sorry if it’s hard to see! 😭

A Basil-inspired poem I made a few months ago :D

🌻

Sand bags Piled onto my shoulders One On The Other On The Other On The Other On Me Needing it to end I drop one of the sandbags But it falls Into my garden Of dreams Suffocating my plants Crushing my flowers But at least The weight is gone For now Until the next sandbag Is placed On my shoulders

Tending to my garden Watering the flowers Pruning the leaves Waiting for the blooms Of the flowers that are long dead Crushed by the weight But Continue To try to save what's left Of the dead flowers The withered white tulips The sunflowers that have gone Too long without the sun's Golden rays Until the sun returns And warms the garden again But the dead flowers Are gone So maybe it's time To plant new seeds In the soft soil And begin again

I wait patiently Tending to the seeds Waiting for the first sign Of soft green leaves Emerging from the earth And eventually As the sun shines And I continue To water The small seeds Of hope Eventually The seeds Turn To Sprouts And my garden Begins to bloom And to thrive And the flowerbuds bloom And the white tulips unfurl Green leaves And the sunflowers Face the sun And all is right And the garden grows Once again

I had no idea what I was doing for this but here’s inktober day 20 TvT

the drawing for yesterdayyy; I attempted some shading, though I have no idea how to shade TvT

🌻

Drawing for yesterday; I’m running behind on the days so this is an older drawing TvT

:P

Yesterday’s drawing (I’m too lazy and tired rn to add a description with actual value 💀)

A string of fate ties the two of you together

🏳️‍🌈

They are so gay istg- THE FACT THAT HE CANONICALLY BRIDAL CARRIES HIMMM 🌻🌻🌻 (this is the drawing for yesterday btw TvT)

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

Is this an old drawing? Yes. However, I literally could not make myself draw yesterday for the life of me and was mentally feeling like sh!t and also I wanted to post this at some point anyways TvT these are the Headspace Sunny and Headspace Basil designs for my fanfic that I haven’t updated in months! 💀

Basil from my fanfic AU; this is the inktober for October 10th. Apparently, my WiFi time limits are sticking, so chances are that most of my posts are gonna be the morning after the day that they were made TvT

Sunflower discord server!!!

If you’re a fan of Sunflower (Basil X Sunny) from Omori, I made a server you can join where you can join me in my hyperfixating over the sillies! :3

Not for Inktober, but a lil doodle of the sunflower child that I think one of the devs made the pixel sprite for! I named them Daisy :D

This is my own original art; please do not repost without crediting me! :3

This is the cover I made for a sunflower fanfiction I’m working on! It’s called Dreaming Of You on Wattpad. It’s an AU that takes place after the bad end, mostly from Basil’s POV. Only about 5 chapters out, and progress might be slow because of school TvT

Here’s the description of the fanfic:

It's been one week since Sunny was found dead near the entrance of the hospital building. Basil's 'Something' has disappeared. He forced himself to tell his friends the truth, even if Sunny hadn't. But he's far from relieved. His best friend is gone. And then, as Basil drifts off to sleep one lonely night, he begins to dream of something unexpected. He enters a world full of adventure; with starry purple skies, bright colors, friendly faces, and someone he thought he'd lost forever. This story follows Basil as he journeys through Headspace with Sunny and their friends, exploring the dream world he soon learns once belonged to Sunny, but has now evolved into something more. All the while, Basil learns more about the mysterious shadowy figure, always out of reach, that endlessly begs for forgiveness. But the longer he stays, the faster his physical form deteriorates in his hospital bed. And although Basil knows he's just dreaming, he can't help but notice that while the invisible threads that bind him to the waking world seem to be thinning, the single red thread that anchors him to the dreamworld always leads him back to one person.
