!Omori AU Dump! pt. 3
Part Three of A Bouquet of Rotten Diphylleia's AU, part one can be read here, and part two can be read here.
This part details the co-dependency between Sunny and Basil. Mostly how it developed, and how it has affected one another in the long run.
(AU dump below cut)
Continuing from Mari's Commitment
Sunny ends up shutting himself in like he does in the main game. This is mostly because of how badly his emotional stability had just ended up crashing after the incident. Aubrey becomes less of her innocent self, further pressuring Sunny to keep inside. Kel reaching out and trying to be more forceful with everyone hanging out, also does not help.
Basil ends up breaking himself off from everyone from this fact, telling Kel that he's not being considerate for Sunny, and that he wouldn't understand the turmoil Sunny is going through. For Aubrey, Basil berates her for being selfish and self-centered.
Since Basil and Sunny had both seen Mari before anyone else had, they both rely on one another for support. This need for trust also stems from the fact that Basil had been aware of Sunny's situation, Sunny trusting Basil enough to even confide in him in the first place.
(There are more nitpicky things to strengthen this bond between them, but I won't be detailing any of that here.)
Basil tries to visit Sunny after the incident, and because Sunny hasn't exactly found escapism in sleep or really developed WS, GS, HS, or BS yet, Basil is able to reach out and worm his way in.
For the first few weeks Basil visits Sunny rather often, keeping him updated on school and bringing in his schoolwork/homework for him.
After a month and a half or so, there's a day Sunny doesn't answer, and Basil gets worried. He keeps coming back every day, eventually going earlier in the day to avoid Kel and Aubrey (and others) from questioning his actions.
After a week or two of this, Sunny does eventually answer. Basil is really worried and starts crying. Sunny expresses confusion, to which Basil explains that he thought Sunny might've committed to. Sunny explains that he hadn't heard the doorbell.
This is supposed to highlight the point that Sunny has now developed WS and HS and has slept through the doorbell every time.
Essentially this turns into Basil visiting about once a week, very early in the day, on Fridays. Basil eventually stops bringing schoolwork for Sunny, but he does tell/teach the fundamentals of what they had learned that week. (This is to help serve the factor that Sunny does eventually graduate high school, and moves onto college, where ABoRD takes place.)
Sunny and Basil don't really talk openly to one another, usually sticking to basic topics. It's become a routine for Basil to visit, and for Sunny's body to wake him up around 3 am on Friday mornings. Sometimes they play games together. Sometimes they watch shows. They both don't discuss Mari, or what Sunny does when Basil isn't there.
Basil has suffered throughout this whole time too, so when Sunny eventually gets out of the house, it makes him feel overprotective. Basil still isn't a huge fan of Aubrey and Kel, but he more or less "tolerates" their presence as long as Sunny is there.
This leads to the fact that Basil doesn't really talk to Kel or Aubrey throughout ABoRD, and is more or less just focused solely on Sunny. Sunny has taken the observer stance as well, kind of reciprocating Basil's toleration, but in a friendlier, more quiet way of doing so.
Basil and Sunny's co-dependency in ABoRD has been made to highlight the grittier details of their relationship. Basil and Sunny love each other, but it definitely is NOT a healthy relationship. Really the only thing holding Basil back from doing self-mutilation is Sunny. And the only thing keeping Sunny attentive and active is Basil.
Example for Sunny: Sunny never really focuses on himself throughout the entire time of his POV, and in some way it always rounds right back to Basil. (He's only got two somewhat major emotional scenes throughout the entirety of the fic.) If you pay attention to the fact that every paragraph could actually be from Basil's POV, you'd realize just how focused Sunny is on Basil.
Example for Basil: All the gross shit he says about himself, he doesn't use for Sunny. And if he does, he never really means it. It's always in a choked fit of rage where he's throwing fit. It's like a child having a tantrum. They'll say they hate something when they don't actually mean it. They just don't want the other to be right, or smug about it for that matter. This is a little harder to pick up, but the cues are there, I promise you.
(Part 3 of 5)
Part 4 - Whitespace, Grayspace, Headspace, and Blackspace
Part 5 - Official ending for the AU, and official explanation of ABoRD's significance to this AU.

sorry but Rio is Nicky's father because
a) she just is, they're lesbian witches who have magic and they're in love, also Rio is death which also makes her partly life (it's literally in her name, river of life) so she used that to give Nicky life
b) its written in the score sorry I don't make the rules

Sometimes I wonder how it must be to follow me for one of my two big fandoms and then suddenly seeing art/posts about the other fandom, which is vastly different in tone and setting.

Snippets of last week 🌿
Crocheted a bandana all in one go and it turned out pretty cute :) I love the colour of the yarn as well, can't wait to wear it when spring comes.
Saw Perfect Days with a friend, loved loved loved the portrayal of the little moments in our routines that make life beautiful.

I disabled New XKit (the one before Xkit Rewritten) because it seems messy to have both installed and something is causing Firefox to eat my CPU and freeze, and I HATE not having Old Blue
I may just keep it enabled JUST for Old Blue.

I love you song irony. I love you cheery songs to creepy scenes. I love you sad songs to happy moments. I love you random love song in a fight. I love you songs that don't carry the same emotion as the action on screen.

i redrew some incredibly ancient vent art also (left from today, right from early/mid 2022), running out of energy now but i'm really taken aback by just how much my art has changed. i guess drawing kaf a lot did something to me lmao
also notable that i'm posting this because back when i drew the original in 2022 i wouldn't even fathom posting it but i guess now i have at least some level of faith that people here will understand this is trauma art/self expression
makes me almost want to explain the meaning behind it but i'll probably leave that up to interpretation for now

actually looking at all of the different birthday card series for a3 i think mankai memory and mankai glitter are basically tied for my favorites. mankai memory almost entirely because of getting to see everyone as kids and then glitter because you just have to admit that these cards are absolutely stunning.

me designing characters: turquoise! purple! black! red and gold!
#there's a reason my spidersona design used black + turquoise + purple + hot pink lol#i did that very consciously#now ... all my OTHER characters...#been thinking about my biases in terms of costume palettes recently just because of the scratchverse lineup#green and yellow are i think the least represented#i am going to be leaning more into blue for novaglow's costume and less teal#esp since i made the purposeful decision to make tj's costume a mix of teal and acid green#but also because i want the colors to reflect angel's updated powers more so i'm leaning into blue and silver and black#vs their foe whose design will be mostly white and silver and very pale crystal blue#mostly white though because i'm trying to make sure they don't look like frozone 💀#weirdly pink is both underrepresented and very prevalent in the lineup ... naomi w rose gold and gem with bubblegum#but there was a reason i wanted to change the tone of seth's first costume with white and pink instead of bright yellow#of course now naomi is like the only one with yellow (then copper) which is again why i gave tj neon yellow green gloves lol#originally it was gonna be more lemony but i realized hi vis would be better for the design#gold doesn't count but i was very conscious about the tones i used for the psykopomp because tama's ENTIRE theme#has been white + red + gold + black since i first designed her lmfaoooo#so lilith i specifically used a darker red#with a bluer black and no white to help keep her visually distinct#whereas tama her main vibes are predominantly white and gold with red and black accents#also usually a slightly lighter and less bronze gold#aaaaanyway#hopefully drawing novaglow and doc wormwood's upgraded costumes soon#also am wondering how to approach diana's older brother because he's very much A Batman Type#but tarot themed lol so i'm thinking about what colors would work best for his costume and also his *checks notes* hyperyacht#jk idk if it's a hyperyacht. it is a speedboat though.#nadia rambles#this got very scratchverse-centric but is broadly applicable#*stares at qela's uniform iterations*#update: scratchverse most underrepresented color is: orange#also warm-toned purple (purple i use is mostly blurple and periwinkle-lavender)
