#headspace swap au

[hikkikoaubrey]

Okay, well I finally made a concept design for a Omori au I've been working on for a while.

Introducing: The Headspace Swap au (might be a temporary name, might not be)

Basically in this au the Headspace exclusive characters swap with the Faraway town cast with the main focus being on a introverted shut-in version of Sweetheart who spends most of her time on the internet. In this au the names of many of the characters will also change to fit this.

Sweetheart has a lot of mental health issues especially involving loneliness and her own appearance, often using the internet, video games and her group of loyal followers who blindly adore her as a means of ignoring / coping with this. Sweetheart has also become pretty egotistical because of her fanbase, being unable to take criticism and often starting arguments online.

Sweetheart often wishes for a life a luxury where she is loved and adored by others, having tons of servants who will do her every whim and being as pretty and cute as she truly wants to be.

Additional info and ideas on Sweetheart: Is a streamer with the website she streams on being based on the keeper of the castle, either lives by herself in her own apartment or lives with her 3 grandma's. In this au she is transfem (which also affects her self-esteem issues about her appearance)

Other ideas I have for the au so far are: Space boy will be the leader of a biker gang, The Slime Girls are a part of their own small band, Humphrey is a pet fished owned by the slime girls, Rococo is Sweetheart's adoptive brother who is off to art school and his original family died in a housefire when he was really young. Mari is the equivalent of Sweetheart in this au, being named Sundai and taking inspiration from the scrapped ice cream princess character from Omori.

Anyway I hope you guys like my concepts for this au and please tell me your thoughts about it if you guys want.

1) What if, rather than Sweetheart trapping Rococo in the walls, Rococo trapped her?

The timeline begins the same way it does in canon. Sweetheart finds the Keeper and gets her castle. It bends to her will and takes the form of her deepest desires- one of which is to be adored by everyone. Naturally, this extends to the boy she grew up with.

She invites Rococo to live in her castle with her, and he's a mixture of happy and uneasy at the offer. He's never been outside of Orange Oasis, and he knows that being alone with Sweetheart is far from sensible. Still, he moves in with her, and the Castle soon starts to affect him.

He falls in love with her, and he falls hard. He's completely infatuated, the Castle molding him into the ideal husband in Sweetheart's eyes. All of his attention is on her, and even if they fight sometimes, he still loves her immensely. They get engaged and it's the happiest day of his life.

Then her fanbase grows, and the whole "Sweetheart is for sharing" point comes up, and Rococo's never felt more hurt. He doesn't remember when he fell in love with her (or even why), but now she's his everything. Angry at the lack of reciprocation, he hopes to teach her a lesson about how much she'd miss him by locking her away in the walls.

Only, upon Sweetheart's imprisonment, Rococo becomes the new owner of the Castle. He's "defeated her" and it is no longer subject to her fancies and desires, but his. His love for Sweetheart wears off and he finds the Keeper, who explains everything.

Naturally, he's devastated, deciding to keep Sweetheart in the walls for good so she can't hurt anyone else. He feels awful about it at first, but over time, as the Castle gives him everything he could ever want, he starts to care less. One immoral decision spirals out of control as he gains the spotlight that Sweetheart's claimed all their lives. There's no more running, no more hiding, no more arguments.

He's praised and applauded, recognised and appreciated, and he revels in it. Rococo's always been dramatic, and as newly-declared Duke of Rococo Castle, he's able to put on a show whenever he likes.

His main goal is still to repopulate his species, so he sets about searching for a suitable mate. He hosts a show titled 'Rococo's Quest for Romance', where ladies vie for his affection and he rejects each one. Somehow, it feels like there's something missing, like this isn't really what he wants. None of the women on his show seem to be right, and he gets angry at the Castle quickly.

Rococo becomes callous, prone to makeshift tantrums and fits of anger. The Castle's made him rather entitled, far more self-centred than in canon as he dresses himself in the finest clothes, his hair kept behind him in an elegant bun as he wears a golden crown atop his head. He has everything he could possibly want (except for a girlfriend), but somehow, he's still miserable.

Then, he meets Captain Spaceboy, and something shifts. Rococo finds himself laughing again, an old ache in his chest starting to mend. He spends more time with Spaceboy than anyone else, out in his garden of red and yellow roses, planting an orange one together, or travelling the stars. Spaceboy helps him write a song with him, and they spend plenty of nights just being together, enjoying one another's company.

Eventually, it clicks. Rococo likes Spaceboy. Like, like-likes him. And he's terrified.

What does he have, if not his purpose? What reason is there for him to be alive, if not to repopulate his species?? As far as he knows, it would be impossible to do so with Spaceboy.

So he pushes him away, reverting back to his arrogant, cold persona as he pretends he's fine. His rejections grow harsher, Rococo imprisoning those he sees as unfit for courting him in his dungeon. He takes up art as a hobby, painting portrait after portrait of himself- and sometimes, when he feels at his lowest, portraits of Spaceboy, too.

Omori & co show up and try to free Sweetheart, learning that she's trapped in the walls, but he can't have that. To them, he's a tyrant, locking them away in the dungeon too. They navigate the walls anyway, without his knowledge, and meet Sweetheart.

Now, Sweetheart... Hasn't been faring well for the past year or so. She's a mess, furious about her imprisonment and seeking revenge. She hasn't changed clothes or washed herself in months and it is torture for her. There are no mirrors in the dungeon, only the same walls every day, and it's infuriating to hear him living in her castle while she's trapped in its walls.

She's rude to the Omori & co because of course she is, she's Sweetheart. She demands they take her back to her castle so she can get it back and get revenge on her 'evil ex'. Omori & co are worried, but as far as they know, she's just a victim caught up in all of this; a childhood friend and former lover of Rococo's who he imprisoned in the walls out of jealousy. There's something a little off about Sweetheart, and she's certainly not what they expected- plus, her flirting with Hero as they travel makes things very uncomfortable- but they help her nonetheless, asking if she's seen Basil. She hasn't, and does not care about their mission.

Rococo, needless to say, is shocked to see her again. She tries to attack him, so he fights back, using the castle to his advantage. Omori & co rush in to defend Sweetheart, getting caught up in battle too. There's a big fight before it's interrupted by someone Omori & co helped out earlier: Captain Spaceboy.

After being abruptly kicked out of and banned from reentering Rococo's Castle, he falls into a state of depression. He's just lost the closest friend he's ever had, and had even begun starting to develop,,, other feelings towards him before he was inexplicably pushed away, Rococo cutting off all contact. Spaceboy's really upset, lamenting that he never confessed his feelings, angry that their relationship seemingly meant nothing to Rococo, and spending every day bedridden.

Then Omori & co show up and play the song, encouraging him to march into the Castle himself and force Rococo to talk things out. Their encounter with Spaceboy means that their opinion of Duke Rococo isn't exactly good even before they meet Sweetheart, so they believe he's a bad person from the start.

Spaceboy overcomes his anger and decides to take some time to think, rushing around to buy a ring and plan a speech. He's waited for too long, and he refuses to wait anymore! It's time,,, to propose.

He shows up at the fight in his spaceship and confesses his feelings for Rococo. Omori & co watch, appalled, as the two of them fly off into the distance together to get married back in Otherworld, and the Castle passes back to Sweetheart. She offers Hero the chance to stay with her, but he declines quickly for obvious reasons.

There is no Ex-Husband arc, just Rococo & Spaceboy searching for a house and preparing a nursery for all the children they're going to have. Spaceboy helps Rococo start to care for others again and stop taking things for granted, while Rococo assures Spaceboy that he is loved and helps him with his emotion problems.

Duke Rococo's... A bit of a jerk, but he gets a marriage arc and becomes less of a jerk so it's fine <3

This is Part One of a series called The Rococoverse: a collection of Rococo-centric AUs with plenty of angst, ridiculousness and variety. From a Rococo who never left the walls to one who's never even met Sweetheart, there are plenty of different Rococos in store!

☀️ Welcome to FARAWAY TOWN! ☀️

"The sun felt warmer when he was here"

This is my omori 'Tainted Garden' au ^^

More info under the cut! vv

- In this au, a lot of the roles are swapped. Henry is filled with silent resentment and rage, mostly towards Basil, tho keeps it bottled up. Mari is the positive and optimistic one who's trying her best to keep everything together, Sunny was grieving in his bed for a year before Mari managed to pull him out of it, Aubrey is the cause of the incident and Basil is the witness.

- Aubrey lives with her father since her mother had passed away, Basil lives alone with occasional visits from Polly, while Henry, Mari and Sunny all live together!

- Henry works as a therapist and Mari is a vet technician, Sunny is a freelance Artist who is currently in college for his art degree. Basil owns his little at-home plant shop where he sells any plants he grows.

- Kel died at the age of 17, the authorities dubbed it as a 'suicide'. 4 years later, it's now the summer of Aubrey and Sunny's 21st birthday. Aubrey's father, Mr. Youn, left for one of his yearly weekend business trips which gave Mari the perfect chance to knock on the door without an obstacle in the way.

- The photo album still gets ruined but it's only Kel in the photos that's scribbled on. Henry was visiting Basil shortly after the funeral, after finding the photos, it caused a major one sided fight between Henry and Basil. Before Henry took only Kel's pictures and left. Mari and Sunny feel betrayed by Basil after finding out what happened, they only want an explanation but Basil avoids them.

- Both Basil and Aubrey suffer from nightmares and hallucinations, Mr. Youn refuses to let Basil visit Aubrey so Basil keeps to himself and hopes one day that Aubrey will come to his aid...

- The typical omori content in this au, I do have headspace designs planned but haven't started drawing them yet ^^;

Thank you so much for reading! 🩷

[hestiviea]

swap au but i can't draw

I hate when they de-age Matthew just so he can be in knives role, I hate when swapaus just change the characters and their names instead of making an actual AU of what happens when the other character's events

to me, I don't want Scott to be the one skating around Ramona's headspace

I don't want Envy to be in gideons role or add two other characters to fill in the katayanagi twin's roles

I want AUS to be its own, not some kind of copy-and-paste from the source material

My swap AU is closer to the actual source

In my swap AU,

Ramona is still skating around Scott's head space but she is the one who gets obsessed instead of Scott, Scott works as a pizza delivery man

Scott in this AU is still an autistic nerd but is clueless about everything around him, he's just keeping a cool head in comparison to the source materials, he's still the bassist of Sex Bob-Omb but doesn't reveal that to Ramona yet cause he temporarily quit after Gideon became their producer

the seven evil exes are not Ramona's version of Scott's friends cause fuck that, instead the 'seven evil exes' are more just exes that are not evil and overly obsessed with Ramona cause Gideon ain't there to join forces with them

(In my head, Gideon is the reason why most of the league even took revenge on Ramona, since he was the one that said it, katayanagi twins just followed with it cause damn do they have it rough, despite not being evil, Lucas also went with it, todd is just angry that ramona has the audacity to leave after he punched the moon for her, Matthew and Roxy are the only ones that genuinely are sad and angry)

The League of Evil Exes are just the same 5 with Lynette for support, they are not in any of the OG league's roles, they're on their own

their name will be, Vv cause V is the Roman number 5, and v as in victims

knives are the first V but she's still 17, she keeps coming back to fight Ramona until finally realising it isn't worth it

Kim is the second, they met after a Sex Bob-Omb concert, they're not Clash of the Demon Heads in a sense by the way, they're much more different, Kim explains the whole thing to Ramona, and they fight for a bit while also talking as they fight, then they stop and just decided to go out for a drink

wallace is the third and doesn't actually fight with Ramona physically, rather using psychic powers thanks to his current boyfriend, but after the fight, they're still hesitant cause it turns out that Wallace was the one that made the Vv and Ramona is genuinely jealous of Wallace but they later just become buddies

next is Lisa, at first Ramona doesn't even know what to do with Lisa, originally Ramona thinks Lisa is just a friend who is getting too close for comfort with Scott, then boom, big reveal that Lisa is actually one of the exes, they start to fight, but it ended up alright

last is envy and Lynette, the reason for this is that I like to believe that Envy was the one that wanted to take revenge on Scott, but nobody truly wanted to fight other than knives, Lynette is there to help cause they have a much healthier relationship compared to the comics, also envy's reason is cause she's jealous over Scott and ramona after hearing the fact that todd is now living with ramona and Scott is dating her

but what happened to the seven evil exes you may ask

well

Matthew and the twins would probably be the only people that Ramona talks to daily, i like to think Matthew lives nearby and that the twins are not as rich as Gideon but still have enough to have a house up in Toronto

Lucas after another flop movie (blame it on the writers, Lucas did nothing wrong) gets broke and starts to live with Ramona at first, Lucas is kinda like Kim in terms of his relationship with Scott, hot take that maybe Scott and Lucas have a better bromance than Gideon and Lucas

todd would be Ramona's roommate, but unlike Wallace, he's this self-destructive asshole that made himself sympathetic after Envy dumped him and he had nowhere else to go other than to Ramona, which just causes Ramona to feel like she's once again with a prick like Gideon

Roxy comes by every week or so to talk with Ramona and clearly is still hang-up over ramona. also has the best wlw/mlm solidarity friendship with wallace

Gideon would still be a billionaire and he's Sex Bob-Omb producer, and at one point forces them to fight against Ramona by using the glow but they manage to break free and turn against Gideon

basically yes the same thing with the comics and the anime, but Ramona is the one being paranoid and self-conscious about things but trying to act like she's not affected by this, and Ramona is the one who has to fight with Scott exes plus confront herself

and everything is not in the same chronological order as the comics

this swap au focuses on ramona and her ex, while Ramona and Scott realise why Vv was even made in the first place

young Neil, Julie, and Stacey would be Ramona's friends before Ramona gets to know the others

part two of this!

[moog-enthusiast]

Since there's emori daisybells

How do you think daisybells would work in the little mari au?

Unfortunately, daisybells would not work in the little mari au without some adjustments— Basil would have to be older, so Flower could complete the age swap too. However, if Basil were the same age as Sunny and Kel, I imagine it’d look something like this;

Flower in headspace wouldn’t be a party member, but would probably be running around all the time, getting distracted by pretty flowers or butterflies etc. She is often found running towards Mari and the party, trying to catch up!! Although this Flower is more energetic and extroverted due to being the younger sibling this time around, she is still very caring and worried about her loved ones. She carries lots of of water bottles and juice to add to Mari’s inventory- she doesn’t want anyone getting dehydrated!! She very clearly has a crush, but she never acts on it. She doesn’t know how to flirt even in Mari’s dreams lol

In Faraway, Flower would probably start a book club. Presumably no one joins, but she tries to invite Mari anyways! Even if it’s just the two of them, Flower is desperate to reconnect- and what better way than through shared interests? Mari won’t open the door, so it ends up with Flower always making an extra copy of whatever she’s reading to leave on the front porch with a sticky note. Flower hears the piano every night, which she finds comforting since it proves she’s still alive. When Mari does eventually come outside though, Flower would immediately try to cling to her side, showing her all the changes she’s missed, asking lots of questions, and trying to buy her lots of food and treats and what not around town hoping it’ll make her stay.

Although of course Flower couldn’t be canon due to pre-set ages and also the fact she’s not real, (lol), this was fun to think about and draw, so thank you very much for the suggestion!

Little Mari au belongs to @zipsunz , be sure to check it out!

[tosteur-gluteal]

have you ever thought of a swap au of your mlb au where sunny has the cat miraculous and basil has the ladybug?? i’d love to see what you think their designs may be ^^

Sorry it took so me this long anon!! But yeah, I've been trying to work on some designs to show you how I envision a miraculous swap! In fact, not to spoil too much, but I do have a swap "episode" planned for the AU: Sunny would get the cat miraculous, and Basil the Ladybug miraculous. I still don't have any idea for the names, and the designs are... pretty much unfinished, but I figured it would be fun to show you guys the main ideas i've had (also, thank you @pennpenn and @theokusgallery for your ideas!!) Also, I still don't have any idea for the hero names; feel free to give me some suggestions! Sunny with the cat miraculous:

He's wearing a cat porcelain mask, and as you can see, his color scheme is very different from Catmint's. I'm still unsure about his outfit (Im only good with the upper body haha) but yeah, here he is! And here's Basil with the ladybug miraculous:

He's really giving Gumi huh bueeheoio I had multiple ideas for this dude, but im still indecisive. However, the main inspo here is his Headspace design! The color palette here is, in fact, very watermelon boy.

I'll work on these design later, because i still have to finish Ladybug and Catmint's. But yup, tell me what you think!!

[daisythesilly]

I know haven't posted some art in a long while, and I've been sort of gone for awhile. I've been dealing with alot of mental health issues and motivation to draw is a struggle ;0; But here's some doodles of more au stuff when I was bored!-

The first two doodles are actually from an au I'm working on. I made my oc into a Stranger because its kind of like a swap au(?) So my Headspacer oc is a Blackspacer now. The au is about Basil being the one to die instead of Mari, it has more creepy elements with Kel having an imaginary Basil following him around (which some parts of his character and their dynamic is inspired by The Summer Hikaru Died, 'cause I read all 3 volumes and totally arent hyperfixating on it now— ^_^) The third and fourth doodles (as you can tell they match with eachother) are more of my friends and mine's omori blackspace ocs. More Sunny Supression au stuff!

[basilbots]

Swapped Sun and Moon AUs, but the human companion also switches from being an insomniac to sleeping a little too well. Sun is screaming in the headspace because they let their friend take a nap in the back and it’s been “foreverrrrr” they must be slipping into a coma if they haven’t woken up on their own yet

[dreamii-krybaby]

Y’all remember my raspberry swap au? Which is basically a doll and uzi role swap

Here are like some main ideas

Fist of all, Khan WAS the assigned colony leader but after getting murdered by the disassembly drones (N *cough cough*) alongside Nori, in his will he gave the role to one of his trusted friends, “Adán” (which is Doll’s father btw)

Adán is much more younger than Khan and didn’t have much experience, so getting the role of leader of the colony, plus the fact he is grieving Yeva’s death deeply and has to deal with Doll’s antics takes a heavy toll on him

Adán tried to give the job to someone else but no one wanted and he felt he would be disrespecting khan. So what’s up with his relationship with doll?

Its strained, due to Adán being new to the job and having to manage so many things, he is overworked and burned out and is not in the right headspace at all. And is in deep grieving, which has let him to not pay much attention to doll’s needs, he occasionally seems to be in his own bubble not paying attention to anyone or anything.

Doll is also grieving but in a different way, it has mostly affected her academically. And since her dad hasn’t been paying attention to her emotionally she occasionally lashes out, which lets to arguments which lets to her getting ground and things getting progressively more complicated.

She eventually makes a friend at school, lizzy :3

Meanwhile Uzi kinda goes the same path as Doll does in canon. She plans a whole revenge plan on prom night. On everyone favorite’s boy, N. Who takes more different personality.

Oh and Adán and Doll speak english! But with a very heavy russian accent, but there are scenes where they actually speak russian. Meanwhile Uzi speaks japanese! She got it from Nori.

Also Uzi’s home is similar to doll’s but different aesthetic as in the composition and colors. Also her parents corpse’s are on the living room (get it- haha)

She also has countless of gadgets and weapons littered around and buckets and bags full of drone parts and oil. Also, yes her house is infested with insects but like i was thinking that instead of roaches its like moths or spiders.

Also instead of Uzi bringing knifes she brings many little gadgets, but one of my ideas is that she carries a purse that actually turns into a sort of weapon but still thinking about it.

As for Doll, her equivalent of Uzi’s SAH railgun would be maybe a crossbow or a dagger with poison but am still thinking about it. May go with the crossbow

Also since Doll and Uzi are based on highschooler archetypes, i was thinking that Doll takes more on the “quiet true crimes artsy kid” meanwhile for Uzi, am still figuring her archetype, but definitely am thinking that she is that one kid who gets the highest marks without even trying.

As for Yeva and Nori, their personality wont change that much, as for now. Yeva is more unstable rather than unhinged. As in constant breakdowns, anxiety attacks and dwelling in unhealthy coping mechanisms (Smoking and drinking). She tried her best to make Doll think everything was ok but she became dependent a bit on Adán and all of this happened when she started getting the visions. And I was thinking that instead of doing drawings its maybe something with photography maybe, like collages maybe. But idk

Adán was there for Yeva but things got complicated as he couldn’t deal with how unstable Yeva became. And he blamed himself deeply after Yeva was murdered by the disassembly drones, by being shot in the head.

Also character design wise, Adán is almost the same as his canon design, Doll gets a wardrobe change, Uzi does too. Am still thinking about the rest.

If you have any ideas pleaseeee tell me. I would greatly appreciate it. Also you can ask me anything regarding this AU

Also Yeva’s and Nori’s and Khan’s death didn’t have a big time gap btw, maybe a few months apart.

Also I was thinking of Uzi trying to restrain N by building her own contraption :3

Edit: when the whole “leaving your kid to die” shit happens. When V and Doll team up and beat J’s and N’s ass and win. Adán immediately goes to hug doll and try to apologize but Doll shoves him away and call’s him out, telling him that she feels like she is being treated as nothing but as a burden. Then the rest plays out like in canon mostly

This let’s to Adán trying to find ways to cope (in a healthy way) and get some sort of help with managing the colony and his grief

Edit: Nori’s and Khan’s corpses display nanite acid and have parts that are completely burned or melted off.

[clegfly]

I’m a major sucker for swap AUs when they’re done right, but one of my biggest pet peeves about them other than the horrendous mischaracterisation is headspace.

the idea of exploring another character’s headspace seems really interesting and fun at first, but when you really think about it, it’s not really in character for anybody else than sunny.

He’s established in canon to always be lost in his own worlds and imagination, so of course something like headspace would be totally in character for a coping mechanism for him. But it doesn’t really work with anyone else, and that’s the problem.

Most people don’t even get too creative with their alternate headspaces as well, which I personally think would be the appeal of giving one to another character in the first place. Like, none of the other characters except maybe Kel would really have headspace’s narrative play out like a video game. That’s a sunny thing, because he’s shown to like video games. For someone like Mari in the OMARI AU, there’s no way she’d have a video game like world in her head. You could get away with comics or something since she’s shown in canon to be interested in that type of media, but there’s no evidence of her having any attachment to games.

So my proposal, and how I’m probably going to approach headspace from now on in any further aus, is to explore it from SUNNY’s perspective. It stays in character and gives a lot of room for character exploration as well. Like, take it from a “hikikel” (I think that’s what that au type is called?) perspective, just as an example. Now we’re no longer exploring headspace from the perspective of someone who did the crime but of someone unrelated. As well as that we’re seeing it from the perspective of a sunny after hero’s death. How would he take it? What choices would he make in his headspace to honour hero’s memory? Thought it was fun and now boom I’ve been distracted all weekend trying to think of things for this. I came up with about doing this the other day and was very happy about it SO I’m putting it on tumblr in case anyone else would like to do that lol anyways I’ll probably be back with new stuff for this au so yeah fun time

[ask-the-mikeys]

Hey guys ima start doing art requests of the sillys for funsies.

Here’s things u can request:

Ur oc and with an alter (out/in headspace)

Ships (platonic or not, just no romantic with Chester or Mal, and no romantic Mal x Mike or Svetlana)

Just fanart of the alter u choose.

In an au (this can be one like genderbend or swap, or ur own au!)

My take on the alter meets a different au of themselves. (Like ur own:D)

Or something else!

However, here’s things I will not be doing:

Certain nsfw. (I’m not drawing something utterly disgusting guys)

!ncesßt ships. (If u don’t know who’s related then u can look further down my blog)

Adult x child (no.)

Anything completely rancid.

But that’s that, if u wanna ask me to make fanart then go ahead!

Genshin 'Littles are known' Classification AU (Part 1 - basic info)

*warning long post*

---

So here is a quick rundown on what this is for those who are unfamiliar with what this kind of Au is. A’ littles are known’ classification AU, is a type of alternate universe in which individuals take a test or examination of some sort which figures out the type of headspace/behaviours the person being tested will develop and display throughout their life, in other words their classification. 

There are many different versions of classification AU’s that focus on different dynamics. This version is specifically based around and is for age regressors.

—-

Disclaimer before we start- 

This Au explanation will be split into parts. Part one will be this overview of the base concept, part two will be information about the nation's treatment of littles as well as information about the Fatui’s treatment of littles. Both parts will have links to one another but it will take a moment for me to get them stuck together like that upon initially posting them.

I made my best effort to keep the classifications of all the characters open to interpretation but some were specified for various reasons that I will try to explain in a concise manner.

You may see some things that are inaccurate to the games canon either because I changed it to work with the AU better or it’s because I didn’t remember things correctly. I’m only human after all and there will be mistakes.

Please remember that this is my take on this kind of AU and it may not line up with other iterations of the same concept that you may have read.

Without further delay, here is my genshin ‘littles are known’ classification AU!

—-

Overview-

This section goes over the basic information about the Au and how things work on a general scale

Testing:

Depending on the nation the tests go a little differently and their accuracy fluctuates. Most of the nations use naturally occurring objects that have special reactions to the hormones in the systems of Regressors and Caregivers. Best way for these tests to work is through blood samples.

Every person from every nation gets tested at 16 years old, the actual behaviours/habits won’t start to show up until at least 18 which is when it starts to manifest. It takes about a year for the behaviours/habits of a classification to form completely.

Classification information:

Littles/Regressors - those who regress into a childlike mindset with mental ages ranging from a few months old to 14 depending on the individual.

 A healthy Regressor will typically regress 1-3 times per week. They can be in headspace for as little as a few hours to as long as a few days depending on their age range. The younger a Regressor is the longer they tend to stay regressed for at a given time. 

Caregivers - those who care for Littles and help keep them safe like a parent or guardian. They exhibit above average strength which allows them to carry Regressors with ease.

Flips - those who don’t fall perfectly into Little or Caregiver but instead swap between the two. People with these split classifications are rather uncommon. Flips need to work to find a balance between regressing and caretaking to stay healthy. Most Flips lean more towards one side of their dual class than the other which can make balancing their classification more difficult.

Neutral - those who are neutral don’t fall into any of the above classifications and experience no changes in behaviour.

Risks:

Like all things related to our bodies and minds, there are health risks. If someone does not maintain their classification properly then there are significant drawbacks

Littles/Regressors who refrain from regressing for too long begin to develop a condition known as regression sickness. It starts out like the common cold but progressively gets more severe the longer the Regressor refuses their headspace. Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, mood swings, intensified emotions, lethargy and weakness may occur as the sickness progresses.

The only way to recover from regression sickness is to regress. Littles/Regressors who are affected by the condition will inevitably drop into their headspace. Upon doing so they will be unable to surface from their headspace until they have fully recovered which can take upwards of a week depending on the extent of the headspace repression.

Caregivers who do not have a Little are far more likely to develop mental health issues. Most Caregivers are recommended to buy a plant or a pet to look after to help mitigate the chances of such a thing happening.

Flips have the task of learning to balance their dual classification. Failure to find a semblance of balance can result in more minor forms of the above conditions 

Headspace management:

It’s not uncommon for Regressors to regress spontaneously. These sudden regressions can be at very inconvenient times or put the Little in danger. Most of the nations either make their own or import medications to sell to the citizens to help them manage their headspace and allow them to be functioning members of society without putting themselves in danger.

 Headspace suppressant medication can also reduce the symptoms of regression sickness but it won’t cure the condition and in fact makes it worse. Doctors will tell Littles to stop taking headspace management pills if they’re showing symptoms of regression sickness.

Archons and non-human individuals:

The archons and other non-humans do not fall into the classifications (the outliers to this rule being individuals with animal features like Tighnari, Gorou, Lynette, etc).

-Archons are not any one class but in fact are all of them at once. They get to pick and choose when they exhibit/experience the effects of a classification.

-The Adepti are affected by classifications but they experience it differently (half Adepti like Ganyu and Yanfei are exceptions to this). They have more control over when it affects them and have no need for headspace suppressant medications. (Adepti do share similar biology to humans as proven by half Adepti being possible)

-Yokai (like Yae Miko, Itto, Kujou Sara, and Kirara) don’t have classifications at all and are considered neutrals (Yokai are technically spirits and do not share the same biology as humans despite looking like them). Certain Yokai that live amongst humans may act as Caregivers despite not having an actual classification.

-The Melusine do not have classifications but they are all considered Caregivers under Fontaine law.

Other non-human individuals like Neuvillette, The Wanderer and The Raiden Shogun, are a more case by case basis when it comes to classifications.

-Neuvillette experiences classifications just like the archons do.

-The Raiden Shogun cannot have a classification since she is a puppet.

-The Wanderer is a Little in spite of his nature as a puppet. (it lends itself well to the reasons why he was discarded by Ei)

🎶I thought of an AU🎶

Okay! So! Role Swap AU with Razor and Scorch

Razor followed Scorch out to the road/thunderpath and ended up getting hit by a car trying to get her to come back to the city with him. Scorch realizes that Razor is either dead, or will die from his injuries, so she takes this golden opportunity and rushes back to the city- crying about how Razor was killed (she brought his collar as proof)

Utilizing this ‘grieving’, Scorch works closely with Ghost- some joking that she’s the one in charge and not him.

MEANWHILE-

Yarrow and Pantherhaze find Razor’s body and brings him back to the clan. No one takes his words about being king and everything about the city seriously cause he got some serious head damage from the monster.

He doesn’t get a redemption arc, in fact, everyone hates him and thinks he’s a privileged asshole. So they’re more than thrilled to send him back to the city when he’s recovered

Ghost hears word of Razor being in RisingClan thanks to his visits with Smokyrose, so now he knows Scorch was lying about being dead- but she twists it so that he’ll also get in trouble since he was meeting with a clan cat, leaving her to butter up his subjects so they’ll believe her over him <3

Don’t know what would happen after that, potentially some silent diplomacy between the clans and Scorch because she doesn’t want Razor, they don’t Razor, so they don’t know what to do with him (Scorch keeps suggesting killing)

Ooo an interesting idea~ I like that even in this AU no one likes Razor XD

It seems out of character for Scorch, in my opinion, but I could see someone finding a way to maneuver her into this headspace somehow. Villain Scorch is definitely a fun idea and it would be one of those things where she's just slowly tearing herself apart from the stress of keeping everything in line. We love to see it.

I woke up after having a dream of Dazai and Chuuya in ur classification au...(Dont ask me I kist be reading it to much) but it left me with a question.

Are roles able to be like swapped in a way? Not completely, but for example is Age regression open to any status as a coping mechanism just without a little scent and involuntary regresssing? Or is it a headspace strictly locked to littles. This can go for the other two roles, can a little babysitt or be a caregiver to another little or would it be borderline impossible.

Dazai and Chuuya for example her (obviously) if Chuuya wanted to just as a coping mechanism could he regress? And if so could Dazai care for him like a CG if he rlly wanted to?

Thanks, this has been nagging me since I woke up 😭-🐝

Hella interesting question and i had to think on this one for a moment. I think in theory yes roles can be swapped, but classifications are usually already what the person needs to cope. Someone who has potential to regress is probably already a little (so I guess yes then headspaces are locked, but only by law of everyone with the potential to regress is a little already), and a little could definitely care for someone else, but it most often triggers feelings of needing to be cared for internally (helping another little regress tends to bring out one’s own headspace as well, unless someone was on headspace blockers). That’s not to say a little can never take care of another person, it just doesn’t meet their needs the same way it does for a caregiver (or even an alpha, I would say they definitely feel a sense of accomplishment when caring for others because it falls under the umbrella of ‘protecting’ and providing for the pack).

Regarding Chuuya and Dazai, I don’t think Chuuya in this universe would regress, but Dazai has definitely been in positions where he has been in the caretaker role. He’s helped take care of Chuuya after corruption, but his headspace blockers helped him fend off needing to regress while doing it (YES fic where Chuuya needs help after corruption but Dazai feels little and tries to just fight through it in the works 😭🩵)

TUMBLR HQ FOR MITAÑO (OMORI AU MOD)

Hi, everyone!! This is a side blog for information and question-answering regarding a new Omori Mod underway (made by yours truly and two others)!! Welcome to the MITAÑO Mod~

Directory:

Kiki - Script Writer - You are here!!

Myst - Artist - Twitter

Red - Programmer - Instagram

Ao3 (Where I post chapter stories regarding the mod) - Here!!

Mod/Blog Description:

This is a complete overhaul mod where everyone is swapped around! I'll be giving you guys updates about the mod periodically. This is a GIANT mod we're trying to make, split between only three people (with very busy lives!!). This will be a very slow process, so we'll update you as we go!!

In the meantime, you guys can send us asks about anything!! I'll answer questions about the story/script (I'll answer them to the best of my ability, but if spoilers are involved....). For questions relating to the art or the programming of the mod, I'll ask the other two and give you their answers! And if you guys ever draw fanart for this mod... PLEASE @ me!! It would make us so happy to see that!!

YOU CAN NOW SEND QUESTIONS INTO MY ASKBOX FOR SPECIFIC CHARACTERS!! And I'll answer them as that character!! As of right now, only the Headspace crew is available for questions, but still... Ask away!!

Since there doesn't seem to be anything written for your Omori AU, how do all the other ex-Headspaceians differ from canon?

first of all i want to genuinely thank you for expressing interest in my silly little swap AU hehe ^^ this is giving me a great excuse to think about ISOLI again and make a few silly little things for it!!

I had some tidbits about ISOLI's main party that I made when I first started developing the AU, I just never officially posted any information I guess... This will be long so I'll put everything under the cut!

The most obvious change from a glance is the character's names and designs. Sweetheart and Spaceboy (who don't have any human counterpart and are instead based on fictional characters within Sunny's world) are now regular humans within the real world, and within headspace as part of Isoli's party. Sweetheart's name has been changed to Stephanie, and (Captain) Spaceboy's to Charlie! The Unbread Twins and Mikal already have Faraway Town counterparts, so those are used for them. Biscuit becomes Bowen, and Mikal becomes Michael. Doughie's name stays as Doughie because of a personal headcanon of them being nonbinary, so in the AU Doughie uses they/them pronouns, and they changed their name to Doughie as part of transitioning ^^

I talked about what Stephanie is like already, so I'll move onto Charlie

Firstly, Charlie is a trans boy! He's always hated being a girl, but doesn't feel comfortable talking much about it with his parents. He's asked his friends to treat him like a boy and of course they happily did so. Charlie loves anything and everything to do with outer space, and often talks about wanting to grow up to study and explore space. He's very intense with his emotions, but his friends help him manage them. He cares a lot about everything, which can be stressful! He may also have a small crush on Stephanie, but she doesn't reciprocate those feelings. They still have a friendly relationship, though, even if they don't always see eye-to-eye!

After Bowen's death and the 4 year time skip, Charlie's found new friends to help distract him from all the Pain And Suffering. Instead of the hooligans, we have human versions of some of OMORI's space pirates! I haven't developed this much yet, but the plan is that they LARP being an evil Space Pirate crew while causing trouble around town. Charlie hides his emotions behind his fiery anger now, but it wouldn't take much to make him crack and start to cry... Stephanie doesn't really understand why Charlie's decided to be so mean all the time now, and Charlie doesn't understand how Stephanie just seemingly moved on from everything that happened so quickly.

Doughie, Bowen, Michael, and Sunny are all family - though Sunny is adopted, while the other 3 are blood related.

Doughie always wanted to pursue a medical degree growing up, but felt somewhat pressured to go into the family bread business (quite literally the opposite of Hero in OMORI!). They're a bit silly, but always seem a bit melancholy even when supposedly happy or content. They've also designated themself as the responsible one of the group, making sure that everyone stays out of trouble. After Bowen - their twin brother - died, they were extremely emotionally distraught, and abandoned their dream of becoming a doctor in order to fill the shoes of the next up in line for the bread business.

The death of Bowen also split the family apart due to stress, with the parents becoming estranged but choosing to still work together for the sake of the business. The dad lives with Doughie and Michael, while the mom took Sunny and moved into an available house in Faraway. The parents get the space they need, while also being close enough to keep the business running. This was also supposed to keep the siblings in contact, but then Sunny isolated for 4 years...

Bowen doesn't have too much information (besides being dead). He planned to go into the bread business because he genuinely loved it, and he's more of a gentle sweet soft guy type than in canon where he's sorta just a Wet Napkin in Headspace and a parrot to Daphne in Faraway. His siblings loved him, Charlie loved him, Stephanie loved him.

Which leads us to Michael... Oh, Michael. He's much more of a nervous wreck in this AU than in canon. He saw Sunny accidentally kill Bowen, recognized it as an accident, and panicked because he didn't want his brother and best friend to get in big trouble. So he helped Sunny cover it up. He feels sad and a little betrayed that his parents split apart and Sunny chose to isolate himself with his mom instead of everyone working it all out as a family. But he can't be mad, not when he feels this is all his fault. He doesn't wear a wig, but he does bleach his hair blond. In headspace, he's probably a bit of a rambunctious kid.
