!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
#it's not like. explicitly in the score#like I haven't called christophe and michael up and confirmed it with them#but rios theme (the softer part) and Nicky's theme are so similar in my head#yeah. sorry I don't make the rules the score does#croki rambles#agatha all along#agatha score#agathario#like sorry but the softer part of rios theme playing whenever her and Agatha are being soft with each other#and then the darker part playing when she's off doing death things??#yeah the softer part also representing the softer side of Rio (aka life??)#and that part being similar to Nicky's theme???#yeah. she gave him life. it's in the goddamn score#ALSO while we're here#can I talk about how the softer part of rios theme plays after the kiss?? she's doing death things#but because it's Agatha#she's sad and she's soft#ALSO. SOFT BIT PLAYS WHEN AGATHA IS GIVING BIRTH#SHES HERE TO DO DEATH THINGS BUT CANT HELP BUT BE SOFT FOR AGATHA IM GONNA FUCKING SCREAM#IM. I FUCKING LOVE SCORES

Yuma Month: Day 17: Moral Ambiguity
Despite them being criminals that commit murder
their blood is still on YOUR hands…
#Yuma Month 2024#rain code#master detective archives: rain code#yuma kokohead#pixeldoodles#my art#this one’s boring but I didn’t have other ideas#I know the conflict in ch5 is waaay more morally complicated#but I like to be more simple if I can#so honestly every time yuma feels conflict taking the culprit’s lives from the ML#its a complicated issue#do they deserve death? probably not#will the world be safer without them in it? maybe so.#the whole thing is a morally complicated mess and its so good…#but still this poor thing… I really feel for him…#i can’t draw blood well lmao#i like using darker colors for more serious themes#I have NO idea what to do tomorrow’s prompt x-x

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.
#i.e. i wonder how it must be for tlt fans to follow me and suddenly see ponies#I imagine it's a little less jarring the other way around lmao#anyway I love the colorful and light and loving themes in mlp#the focus on friendship and softness and positive aspects#and I love tlt and its dark gritting setting with deep emotional themes of loss mourning pining and the darker sides of love#granted I dont really draw these darker themes - love seeing those parts in fandom anyway#I wonder how many of the followers are exclusively in one of the two and how many are in both#maybe its worth a poll at one point#my posts

dude what the fuck do you mean heroes tend to be the only ones to actually get depowered and they practically sign up for it just by being a hero. what. like i figured it was a last resort type thing and tides situation was complicated but for it to be straight up said its primarily just heroes is crazy
#i mean considering they said s2 was gonna be handling darker themes and it was discussed a little in s1#im not super surprised the government and hero system are corrupt or anything#but its still crazy they’re saying they probably wont even depower the lich yet they depowered tide and who knows how many other heroes#also not saying tide shoulda been depowered btw. but it still seems like it was a complicated thing since he’s a clone and stuff like that#jrwilb#prime defenders spoilers#<- just in case#ghost boy rambles

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.
My semester starts next Thursday and I'm excited/nervous, still need to organise everything and my thoughts.
#it's been a calm week#and a good one#I'm really loving crocheting and working with my hands#seeing the finished project just makes me happy#in other news i haven't been reading much#and we have our first book club meeting next Saturday so I'm slightly worried#but I'll regain focus I'm sure#saw hp and the deathly hallows pt.1 in concert and it was breathtaking like always#but since the themes are so much darker and heavier everything was amplified#i loved it#thank god for musicians#You're all amazing#hope everyone had a lovely sunday 🍂#life#crochet

I can't wait to see your opinions on Twilight Princess tbh /genuine
I can't wait to see MY opinions on Twilight Princess tbh
#I feel like twilight princess can swing pretty hard either way#because on the one hand I really like a darker atmosphere and themes#on the other hand I really don't like needlessly edgy takes on the LOZ series#and most of what I've heard of Twilight Princess so far can be pretty accurately summed up as#'the edgy one where Link's a wolf'#I'm sort of expecting to overall like it but not be terribly obsessed with it#BUT it wouldn't surprise me if I end up having some strong opinions on it either which way#I don't actually know that much about twilight princess. like i've been spoiled for major plot stuff#but beside that? wildcard tbh#that said twilight princess is fairly low on the priority list bc it's a wii game and I don't got one of those#I'm planning on getting one bc there's some wii games I'd like to play and they're pretty cheap where I live#so I'm not particularly worried about being able to play twilight princess eventually#but it's probably not gonna be sometime soon#my posts#asks#loz

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.
#olessan oration#I hate the darker blue and all the other themes#I don't want white white and grey black pink or goth... I want 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.
#incase anyone is curious as to why they do this. it's the same reason why shading exists in art (like to make the light areas seem lighter#and the dark areas darker) so when there's a cheery song to a creepy scene#for example#the cheery music is there to make the creepiness creepier bc of heavy contrast.#and this theme showing up in films and other media is why we now associate a lot of kids songs with creepyness even if it hasn't been used#in media#.#the umbrella academy

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
#sa tw#csa tw#syringe tw#these are really heavily implied themes more than direct imagery but whatever#suggestive tw#idk what other things to include#kiki was here#kiki.txt#my art#i pulled up the courage to post this but i dont want reblogs sorry lol#likes/replies are fine though i appreciate when people like my darker stuff

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.
#i think these cards being so insanely pretty is part of why i want a zodiac themed series for twst too#although i'd want the outfits to have a darker color scheme#because that fits better for twst in general + we literally JUST had the platinum birthday card series#anyway not sorry to all my followers who don't care about this other random game. look at my anime boys <3

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)
