#prodigal omori

[prodigal-explorer]

things basil stan’s have done that make me want to rip my hair out:

1. called me illiterate because i said that basil and sunny wouldn’t make a good couple.

2. told me to cut myself because i said that basil isn’t an innocent baby who did nothing wrong.

3. tried to convince me that aubrey never apologized to basil even though that was a huge scene in the game AND tried to convince me that basil confessed to staging the suicide even though he never ever did in the canon game.

4. justified the actions of the person who told me to cut myself because “well you were the one who mischaracterized basil”.

5. told me that if basil hadn’t staged the suicide then sunny would have killed himself (while conveniently ignoring that there are routes where sunny does indeed kill himself AS A DIRECT RESULT of basil coming up with staging the suicide).

6. told me to kill myself and that nobody would miss me if i died because i said that basil is overly codependent on his friends, especially sunny.

and this is just the beginning!

so if you’re wondering why i hate basil, THIS is why! 😭 because his fans won’t let me have a minute of peace.

I disagree with the idea that basil is unforgivable because the entire point of Omori is forgiveness and grief.

To say that basil is irredeemable is to go against the theme of the game

homie...

hate to break it to you but actually the point of the game being forgiveness and grief doesn't mean that every character should be forgiven. everybody has different standards and morals and values when it comes to forgiveness. some people are able to forgive basil and others aren't, but the people who are able to forgive aren't inherently better or more "right" than the people who cannot. to say that the message of omori is "you should always forgive people no matter what they do to you" is brain-dead.

just because sunny and basil smiled at each other doesn't mean that all that damage was reversed, or that true forgiveness even happened.

the point of omori is not forgiving others.

it's forgiving YOURSELF.

that's why aubrey, kel, and hero's explicit reactions to the truth weren't shown in the game. because it's not supposed to be canon that they forgave sunny and basil. and the lesson is NOT that kel, aubrey, and hero SHOULD forgive sunny and basil.

it's easy for sunny and basil to forgive each other because they both royally fucked up each other and their friends.

what's not easy is kel, hero, and aubrey forgiving them because unlike sunny and basil, they had ZERO CHOICE in the matter when it came to the presentation of mari's death. they spent four years living a lie.

hero blamed himself, believing that he was a horrible boyfriend who caused mari's death by not being there for her and he was extremely depressed for years, which caused him to lose motivation for his number one favorite thing to do:

cook. as a result of hero's depression, kel was pushed aside and ignored by his parents, becoming something like a glass child to them, which led to him viewing himself as less important or worthy of love/attention than hero.

and don't even get me started on aubrey. the whole town turned against her, and nobody cared about her. not even her friends. the only person in the world who truly understood her was mari, and seeing her hung was the worst possible thing to happen to aubrey, a mentally ill little girl who already believed she was bad for everyone who cared about her.

if basil had JUST TOLD THE TRUTH. all of his friends' lives would have been infinitely better.

and i don't mean to like rag on basil without addressing sunny, but i never see sunny stans acting this idiotic and "holier-than-thou". now since you're so up in my business, i will explain myself more.

the biggest unforgiveable thing isn't even basil hanging mari. it's basil blatantly lying, and staying silent for four years, pretending to be innocent, painting himself as some victim, when really, the whole time, he was the reason why everything crumbled and destroyed itself.

it would be fucking stupid to walk out of playing that game saying, "well, aubrey, kel, and hero need to forgive basil for what he did because forgiveness is important."

that's easy for BASIL LOVERS to say because BASIL WAS NOT THE VICTIM IN THE SITUATION. HE WAS THE PERPETRATOR.

and furthermore, the game emphasizes self-forgiveness way more than forgiving others.

things only started to get better for basil and sunny when they started to forgive themselves. sunny's hallucinations were a manifestation of his shame and guilt. and shame and guilt are a result of being unable to forgive yourself. what the other characters did to support sunny was helpful, but it didn't solve the root of the problem. the only thing that really made something go away, the only thing that really brought color back to sunny's world was him letting go of that shame and guilt and allowing himself to keep going forward.

THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAME IS THIS: you cannot control how others react/respond to your bad actions. you cannot expect forgiveness out of anyone, and sometimes, you SHOULDNT. but the one thing you can control when you fuck up is how you pick yourself up and dust yourself off. how YOU move on from what you did so that you can grow and become a better person in the future.

and to me, that is a way more relevant, impactful, and TRUE message than the stupid, idiotic, honestly super problematic idea that "we should forgive and forget when people hurt us because they feel guilty". that's not being a good person. that's being spineless and devoid of values. just because i personally have experiences, traumas, and values that make me unable to truly forgive basil doesn't make me a bad person or someone who failed to understand the game's message. so before you come up in my ask box and attempt to shame me and accuse me of not understanding the game, brush up on it yourself, buddy.

Some info on the Snipe spinoff.

Screenplay by Minato Takano (高野水登); Directed by Nobuhiro Suzumura (鈴村展弘) with Takeshi Miyazaki (宮崎剛) as action director; Produced by Atsushi Yamaguchi (山口敦規) from Toei Video and Takahito Omori (on the show) from Toei. Takano, Suzumura and Miyazaki are all involved with the Brave spinoff as well.

The cast revealed so far includes Taiga, Kuroto, Asuna, Parado, Graphite, Hiro's girlfriend Saki, and a new character named Jiro Maki (牧治郎) played by Masaki Kaji (加治将樹). May be getting the new character's name wrong.

The story takes place 5 years ago, when Taiga Hanaya was a radiologist at Seito University Hospital. He discovers the Bugster Virus hidden within a girl's body, and soon after Dan Kuroto comes forth scouting this prodigal doctor so that he may become a Kamen Rider. However, with his work as a doctor taking priority, he initially refuses the offer. A friend of Taiga's - a pathologist named Jiro Maki - volunteers in his place, but mysteriously goes missing... This spinoff promises to reveal the reasons behind Taiga's ego, and why he was chosen before anyone else.

As was previously covered, the spinoff is a four-part thing which will be told across the four blu-ray releases for the show, so they'll be pretty spread apart. Based on previous blu-ray exclusive stories for Drive and Ghost, they may make use of where the show on TV is at the time, meaning there will at least be a good reason to space it out.

The first blu-ray collection will be out on April 12th, with the second on July 12th.

[prodigal-explorer]

i will forever be an aubrey defender for this reason.

the one person in the entire world who truly understood her, mari, was ripped from her life.

of course she's volatile, of course she's angry.

and i have a personal headcanon that aubrey has a very strong intuition.

i'm not saying she KNEW what sunny and basil did, but i think she sensed something off about them ever since mari's death, and that's part of the reason why she always felt so threatened by them, especially basil.

she wasn't a "bully". she was a scared little girl. everybody left her. nobody cared about her. of course she was mad about that! of course she was upset! of course she hid behind lackeys who followed her command because at least she knew they wouldn't leave her.

she just wanted to be a kid. and i think the hooligans make her feel like a kid while also not forcing her to think about the past. i don't agree with the bad things aubrey did exactly, but i understand why she joined the hooligans and i kind of applaud her for it. she knew she needed space from what happened. it was honestly one of the healthiest things she could have done.

every single thing tying back to the old friend group reminded aubrey of mari. it was so painful because everyone else had someone else who was there for them unconditionally. sunny and basil had each other. kel and hero had each other. aubrey's "person" so to speak was mari. and when mari was gone, aubrey was floating on her own.

the one thing aubrey wanted more than anything was taken away from her.

of course she's angry at the world. it's not fair. aubrey had been so good. she'd tried her best to be a good kid, and it got her nowhere. it just left her all alone all over again.

thinking about how one of kel's first lines is "man, aubrey always gets what she wants". thinking about how aubrey wanted to go see sweetheart's show for hearts, so hero took them all to sweetheart's show for hearts. thinking about how aubrey told molly not to touch omori, and she didn't again.

thinking about how all aubrey wanted was to keep her friend group together. thinking about how aubrey's clothes are too big in headspace, she only has one toy and in the real world, her house is a tip with her room almost bare. thinking about how aubrey wanted to keep the photos of mari and throw the rest in the bin, and how she put them back in the album after kel picked it out of the trash.

thinking about how sunny viewed her as a protector of his as a kid, someone who'd look for for him, and how the hooligans trust her to lead and look out for them, and how hero and mari were like older siblings to her when she was younger, and how aubrey's parents didn't look out for her. thinking about how aubrey is angry and insulted and violent and vengeful, and how she wants the girl she knew as a sister to come back. thinking about how she believes she wasn't enough for her old friends, for anyone. thinking about how little possessions she has, how she pushes away people who care about her, how she's viewed as a "bad kid" by the residents of faraway.

want is such a big theme with aubrey. in headspace, every one of hers is fulfilled. in the real world, we see almost none being.

[prodigal-explorer]

also because this is interesting here are the mental disorders i think each omori character has based on my experiences with them:

(this is just for fun! i’m not an expert diagnoser i’m just someone with a lot of mental illness who had to take that long ass test like 200 times)

sunny -> depression, gad, hallucinations, maladaptive daydreaming (i know headspace is technically his dreams at night LOLLL but considering the escapism aspect i think this is still the right term for it?).

aubrey -> social anxiety (developed later in life), autism, anger issues.

kel -> adhd (i also think he has a bit of an inferiority complex but i don’t think it’s severe enough to be considered a part of the list).

mari -> gad, and there isn’t really an official name for this but i think she struggles a lot with being a parentified older sister.

hero -> extreme gad, autism, depression (developed later in life).

basil -> hallucinations, gad, social anxiety, depression, anger issues.

(also since i know some of y’all are gonna say it, DO NOT reblog this and say “oh aubrey has bpd, not autism!” or “aubrey doesn’t have social anxiety!” or “mari doesn’t have generalized anxiety!”. shut up. as an afab person who’s seen regular misdiagnoses, i know what i’m talking about when it comes to common misdiagnoses. y’all misogynistic idiots love to slap bpd on a girl just because she’s angry sometimes. y’all love to deny that girls have anxiety because it doesn’t present as them stammering and running away from everything. so think before you speak. this post isn’t an invitation for medical misogyny.)

[prodigal-explorer]

can basil stan’s stop being fucking idiots

“basil wasn’t a bad person he just did bad things that doesn’t make him a bad person tho! but aubrey is a bitch and a bully and she has no excuse for what she did.” DO YOU REALIZE HOW STUPID YOU SOUND.

“basil was twelve he didn’t know any better he was just trying to protect sunny! but it doesn’t matter that aubrey bullied basil to protect herself and her friends from the damage that BASIL ACTED LIKE HE CAUSED!” how was aubrey supposed to know basil lied? it was basils own fault for saying he did something that he knew would make aubrey mad!

you CANNOT whine about how basil should never be criticized ever because he has reasons for what he did and he wasn’t fully in the wrong and blah blah blah and then condemn and demonize aubrey when she was in an extremely similar situation EXCEPT SHE HANDLED IT WAY FUCKING BETTER THAN BASIL despite having NO adult role models and NO place of true safety except for with the hooligans.

if you’re going to defend basil to the death i better see you doing the SAME DAMN THING to aubrey or else you hate women and i hate you and you don’t get omori.

[prodigal-explorer]

“but basil was just a kid he didn’t know what he was doing!”

mari was just a kid too. she didn’t deserve to fucking die and have her dead body disrespected to the point where it ruined her boyfriend and best friends’ lives. they were ALL just kids. and what basil did fucked these KIDS up.

so womp womp. i don’t really care that basil was just a kid. it’s the fact that every single thing he did from hanging mari to staying silent for four years to pretending to be a victim was a CHOICE.

you know who didn’t get a choice? fucking mari.

so yeah. kid or not, basil had a choice. and they were ALL kids. it’s an even playing field here. and aubrey and kel, despite being KIDS, still are much better people than basil. they didn’t have nearly as much choice as basil, but with the choice they had, they chose to do the right thing most of the time and when they didn’t, they OWNED UP AND APOLOGIZED. wow, what a concept. couldn’t be basil.

and don’t even pull the mental illness card either cuz it’s obvious that all of the main six have some sort of mental illness going on. also since when is mental illness a good excuse for someone framing a suicide? do you know how absolutely wild some of y’all sound??

(and just so y’all don’t send me death threats i DONT THINK BASIL IS EVIL. he’s a really cool character whose contribution to the narrative is amazing. he is just irredeemable in my eyes and the people who constantly try to defend him with these shitty excuses annoy the fuck out of me. he’s a bad person. BASIL IS A BAD FUCKING PERSON. deal with it.)

rating the omori characters by how stinky i think they are

(don't get mad at this, it's just a joke! also 10 is super stinky, and 0 is not stinky at all. also this isn't meant to shame anybody's habits, although i do think the whole "white people don't wash their ass" thing is really funny and unfortunately true)

sunny -> 10/10. this guy has not showered in weeks. it isn't just a depression thing, he just doesn't like it. the water is always either too hot or too cold, and the shower floor always feels too grimy beneath his feet, and the smells of all the different soaps make his head hurt. he just struggles with the sensory side of it too. and he thinks about how mari used to help bathe him when he was little, and it's just too bitter.

basil -> 9/10. i think he showers more often than sunny does, but definitely not enough. he's also one of those "all natural" bitches who uses crystal deodorant (nasty) and washes his hair like once a year. also he's probably never washed his ass or used a washcloth in his life...sorry gang i'm just dropping truth here you've seen how white both he and his guardian is.

aubrey -> 7.5/10. see here's the thing: aubrey is a teenage girl. she's going to be extremely insecure about stanking, but considering her home situation, it's very hard for her to be smelling fresh. she has to steal money in order to buy basic things like deodorant and soap, and the water is never on at her house consistently, and the bathroom is just disgusting. so she's stinkier than she wants to be, but it can't really be helped. usually, she just sneaks a shower after school in the locker rooms, though that isn't possible during summer vacation and such.

kel -> 5/10. i was going to make him stinkier because he's just always on the move, always playing sports, so he's always sweaty, but i think kel would have a pretty decent shower schedule to wash all that off, especially because he looks up to hero. and he shares a room with hero, and hero definitely WOULD NOT let kel stank up the whole bedroom with his stench. so i think kel would be mildly stinky, but he showers enough that it's decently mitigated. also he likes to steal hero's products sometimes.

hero -> 0/10. this man does not stink whatsoever. he cares so much about hygiene, he's that guy who brushes his teeth after every single meal/snack, he has like seven different products that he uses in the shower, and he'll stand in the steamy hot water for an hour. it's a form of self-care! he was also the one (alongside mari) who taught the others in the group how to shower properly, though they don't always listen to him (especially the white ones LMAO). he's constantly telling them that they actually do need to wash their asses and that a washcloth is actually an essential and they have to scrub their legs and feet because the soapy water running down them is not enough.

mari -> -100/10. it's physically impossible for mari to stink. not only does she have a lot of similar habits to hero, but she got the asian gene that makes her not have body odor, and she has a tiny little perfume collection that she uses regularly whenever she goes out, which means that she's always radiating a gentle scent of flowers or vanilla. her favorite scent is jasmine, and sometimes, she sprays it in sunny's stinky room when he isn't there.

Bonus thought about the church: it's where Mari's funeral was held. Aubrey would've last seen Mari at the front in her coffin. Aubrey's safe space is Mari's final resting place :')

holy shit.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT that's so true homie.

i actually cannot that is so insane.

every piece of aubrey, every single part of her, is still tied to mari. i think people tend to forget how much mari meant to aubrey. yes, she was sunny's biological sister and yes she was hero's boyfriend, and those relationships are extremely important too.

but mari was aubrey's REAL FAMILY. mari was the one who understood aubrey more than anyone, mari was aubrey's safe space. it wasn't aubrey's parents who comforted her when she cried, or told her funny jokes, or accompanied her for lunch at the park. it was MARI.

mari cared for aubrey, defended her when she needed it, scolded her when she needed it.

and you can see even in the present day how much of mari aubrey clings onto. the PINK HAIR in order to mirror mari's plan for purple hair. the whole thing with the photos. and like you said, the CHURCH. it's all attached to mari because the one person aubrey desperately needed more than anyone after mari's death was mari herself.

after all, after mari was gone, everyone else abandoned her. the entire TOWN abandoned her.

maybe aubrey secretly wondered if going to church would feel like mari protecting her again.

can basil stans please give me a fucking break.

just because i don’t like him doesn’t mean i don’t understand the game! get the fuck off my ass!

i think ironically i would like basil more if his fans weren’t so fucking obnoxious and entitled.

After suffering with forgetting everything I like except the vampires, deep consideration, and also fighting for my life against the "but what if the people who've seen me talk about sexual gore and incest think I'm cringe", here is the poll I was tagged in by @what-a-bastard!

(yes Viv and Vex count as one option. they are a pair, do not separate)

Everyone please clap and cheer for my ability to remember four things other than The Suckening that had characters I really liked in them.

Now to tag: @pulchrasilva, @anxious-mess19, @gearbox-doll, @jupiteriota, @pumpkin-padparadscha, and anyone else who wants to.
