i think one of the many reasons omori hits so hard and one i dont see talked about a lot is the fact that everyone misses days gone by. lots of people have carefree memories of the past and the fleeting joy and innocence of young childhood and i think headspace is a great way to portray that

even if not everyone had a very traumatic event in their life that made them grow up fast or isolate themselves, nostalgia and seeing the way things were in rose tinted glasses is something that everyone experiences

and so seeing Sunny keepinghimself trapped and desperately trying to bring back the old days, grasping for what has been, even if in reality it was not entirely perfect is very relevant to humanity

I think that Sunny and Aubrey's relationship would've been a lot more interesting had the game established she was envious of how rich his family is. Obviously I wouldn't expect any competent commentary on class relations from a game that has the plot of the route named after the main protag be pushed along by every other character except the main protag, but something like that would've helped to make Aubrey feel more believable (or "human") as a character and shown the friend group's past in general wasn't as implausibly great as Sunny's dreams and the photo album would like you to think.

It'd be a gradual process, ofc. She wouldn't think much of it at first (or would even be ashamed of daring to be jealous of her friend like this), but it'd build up with each stay at Sunny's house. And then, after Mari kills herself, Aubrey latches on to the envy since she has nothing else. She allows it to color her perception of Sunny as a person - maybe he was always a stuck-up scumbag who laughed at her behind her back, actually!

Why did he get to live in such a big and tidy house with all the newest toys and caring parents when she has to live surrounded by garbage? It's not fair. It's not fair!

A Sweetheart Analysis because she might have a god complex

In-game, Sweetheart has always been a narcissist. She literally tries to marry herself, calling herself perfect and beautiful. It's a huge part of her character and personality, Sweetheart clearly believing that she's superior to everyone else, but another part is her laugh. And it was while looking at her laugh that I came upon a realisation:

Sweetheart has a god complex.

Now, I am by no means a psychological expert, but by researching it, I found that some typical traits of a god complex- often associated with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)- were:

Extreme entitlement

Arrogance

An inability to take responsibility

Believing in their superiority to others

An alarming lack of empathy for others

An inflated sense of self-importance

A conviction that one is infallible (See sites such as verywellmind for evidence)

And Sweetheart exhibits all of these throughout the course of Omori. She believes that Hero is obligated to fall in love with and marry her, outraged when he doesn't and saying that the idea is preposterous. She locks Hero and Rococo away when they refuse her/break up, and has a special cell made for Spaceboy after they seperate, refusing to accept responsibility for the falling-apart relationships and completely uncaring of how this affected them. She constantly compliments herself, taking self-love to its extremes as she tries to marry herself and later clones of herself. She's flabbergasted when she loses to Omori and co. in their fight, disbelieving and in denial. Her deepest desires are manifested into a castle where she has everything, from films made about her to an endless crowd of mindless, adoring fans. She's egocentric and shows no regard for others, and apparently has since she was younger, Rococo saying that she 'always won' their arguments and since he 'fought back', he got very good at running. She's ready to and tries to destroy/eternally imprison a group of children because they crashed her wedding.

Not only this, but Sweetheart compares herself to a literal god in-game:

The fact that 'blasphemy' is defined as 'the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk' speaks for itself. Sweetheart views herself as a god, or at least whatever comes closest to it.

Furthermore, I'd like you to look at her laugh:

...yeah. Now, does it remind you of anything? No? How about this:

Both of them use 'oho' as a sound in regular conversation, though Sweetheart incorporates it through her laugh while it is the only word that Biscuit uses to converse. In a way, it's his language.

Now, consider the fact that Sweetheart was raised in Orange Oasis, where the Unbread Twins are known about and respected. Bread is left under a giant carving of them. There are still legends about them. They're treated as gods, because that's what they are. Doughie and Biscuit are actual deities, and one of them only uses the language of 'oho'.

Sweetheart knows all of this, and most likely believes in the twins herself. By imitating Biscuit's manner of speaking at times, she could be interpreted as imitating the language of the gods. It's a stretch, but the connection between 'Ohoo' and 'OHO' is made easily enough.

She considers herself to be so superior to everyone else that she compares herself to a higher being multiple times. She even attempts to bend the laws of nature in Headspace and make sentient copies of herself that are just like her so that she can have someone to marry.

I'm not saying she definitely has a god complex because that's not something that I am able to diagnose, especially not to a video game character. But there's certainly evidence to support this, and it's been fun compiling it!

Bear in mind that Sweetheart potentially having NPD does not mean that everyone with NPD is exactly like Sweetheart! Everyone is unique, and a mental illness/disorder does not define a person. Do not use this as an excuse to stigmatise NPD or take this as me being against it. I am talking about a fictional character who is incredibly overdramatised because that's her whole character- the narcissist looking for a date who serves as an obstacle to finding out the truth. NPD and a god complex are also not the same thing, so consider that when bringing it up!

Thank you for reading my little analysis- I love seeing people's responses, but please be respectful! I'm not trying to start a fight or offend anyone, just have a discussion about a fun character from a game I enjoy :)

Hello hello hello!! ♠️

[ One TW: Memory Loss. ]

I feel like I can't remember who is my childhood friend now, he and I used to hang out before I had to move away to escape my pathetic household.. He always talks about plants, while I listen. It soothes me really, it's sad that I had to never tell him.. but now that years went by? Who is he? What is his name? What does he look like?

Oh well.. I had to stop rambling too much, but I think it's best for me to hide myself for good.

If I had a nickel for every piece of media I love that has a pair of childhood best friends where one of them killed somebody and they both then covered it up, after which the killer loses their memory of the killing, leaving the other to deal with it on their own, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Can we give Cat Omori a warrior name? I feel like DarkDream would be cool! :D (if you don't know what I'm talking about, there's this book series called Warrior Cats)

-Cringefail Anon

Hmph. Do whatever you’d like.

It’s not like that name sounds cool or anything.......
