HELLO I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR BASIL BROTHERS PROPAGANDA

this has been sitting for I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG in my asks but to this anon: I see you, I hear you, you are the sole person who has unlocked my infodumping on this propaganda so hERE WE GOOOOOO 🗣️📣💥💥💥

⚠️Disclaimer 1: I don't really know what to call this ..AU?? idea??? bro idk I just love Basil so much and the idea of him having a sibling (or siblings 👀👀 more on that info down the line) makes my heart happy bc god danggit this boy deserves siblings who care for him >:-1 💢💢

⚠️Disclaimer 2 there really isn't much of a formulated story behind all this when really it's just tidbits of me talking about this idea from time to time jskdfds ALTHOUGH! I do have a Twitter mutual who might plan on making an actual AU with this mechanic/idea of sorts, more of that down the line!

((beware of OMORI spoilers and all that jazz btw! with that being said, let's head on to the very beginning of when this all began! apologies in advance that this may be long and if you'll be seeing a lot of twitter screenshots, that's because my propaganda for it started there! 😃🎉))

OK so this all started on the last week of May, which, tmi was also when it was my birthday (yay) and the universe decided to gift me: Rowan 😌💗

For those unaware, Rowan was basically known as the "beta Basil" or the beta design of Basil before he became well, Basil! This art made by Omocat dated back in 2012 features Rowan with rowdy hair (that isn't really as defined as Basil's but, it's there), a sweater vest + shirt combo, and a flower on their head, similar to the present design of Basil

idk where it truly started, but he blew uP on Twitter thanks to user @/znazzysam

It became the talk of the community for a couple days and that of course included mE 💥👄💥 I was just so darn intrigued at the thought of Basil's former design and how people comment on how he looks 'aggressive' or 'emo' and it's just so funny that the identity of Rowan looks and feels so different to that of Basil

And so my brain started to voice out ideas on what or who Rowan could be on twitter and it eventually led to my brainrot over Basil and Rowan 🥴 excuse the barrage of Twitter screenshots below being such examples!

I'm sure there was more but that was most of it. At first I thought of him as a separate entity/character unrelated to Basil and may even be featured as a character in the story (ie he'd gang up with Aubrey and the Hooligans, he's rowdy and mean etc.). Eventually though, I started to see him as someone who is related to Basil and eventually tweeted this:

ever since that tweet I now thought of Basil and Rowan as twins and GAHHH IT JUST ALL WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE /s and now I started spewing more ideas about them living under the same roof ✌️😚

And because I only found out now that Tumblr limits its number of media to 10 per post I'm gonna have to split this into 2 parts JKSDFNKJSDF ^^; Will be sure to indicate it in the next post for your reference, anon!
