#the only ones i care are spaceboy and sweetheart

[fried-manto]

What are your opinions about stranger? :)

Game wise? Hella freaky, everytime i see him and his bloody footprints i'll be like, "aw shit, you couldn't give me a minute to enjoy my victory against (a boss i just defeated)?"

Sometimes i kinda hate him, because i'd be enjoying my stroll in game and then there he will be, in the corner of the screen, just staring at me before walking away. Like, bro, please stop freaking me out.

Fandom-wise? I know ya'll are like obsessed with him and will probably try to kill me for this but, i don't really care about him. Plus he's pretty hard to draw in my style, so i don't draw him often.

To me, Stranger is like.. Kim, pretty important to the hidden lore of the story but i already have enough on my plate with the main gangs to pay attention to them.

hey so you know how captain spaceboy's name (obviously) has 'captain' in front of it? and how space ex-boyfriend doesn't? that's because he neglected and effectively abandoned his title of the captain whilst dating sweetheart and when refusing to leave his bed after their breakup. he still values the connection to sweetheart more than he does to his crew; he isn't the captain when he's ex-boyfriend, because he doesn't care about leading the crew. the only thing on his mind is sweetheart. like how when he becomes space (ex)husband, that too replaces the 'captain' and 'boy' parts. he's not a boy with sweetheart, he's a man; a suitor. and he's not a captain. he refuses to be, because he has to put her first, even when they've left each other. stranded on a mountain and slowly freezing to death, spaceboy doesn't care about the pirates, or his father, or his own identity. he cares about sweetheart separating from him again, and the heartache he felt as a result.

sweetheart's impact on him in canon is so huge but i don't think we as a fandom tend to truly understand that. he changes his name for her, has multiple identity crises, would've been ready to die if it hadn't been for omori & co's intervention. spaceboy had his faults just as sweetheart did, but he also had it rough with her. sweetheart expects a partner to give up everything for her and yet is unwilling to sacrifice the same. just look at "sweetheart is for sharing" and rococo's entire thing! she's not something 'girlfriend', something 'wife'. she's always duchess sweetheart. sweetheart is able to prioritise herself to the point where it becomes a problem. she doesn't care about spaceboy because she deserves the best, and she doesn't believe that's him. spaceboy sacrifices it all, and they always end up falling out. and he always ends up more depressed each time.

'captain' is more than just a position. it's spaceboy when he's secure and confident in himself. it's spaceboy when he has friends. it's spaceboy when he isn't destroying himself with a toxic relationship that's only going to hurt him.

his father, captain pinkbeard, knows that, and wants to keep things that way. i'm so glad spaceboy has a (somewhat) secure support structure, because boy does he need one.

Whumptober Prompt List (OMORI)

Prompts/Summaries for my collection of omori fics for Whumptober.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50472622/chapters/127519975

Day 1: Sick - Sunny

Sunny finds out that living off microwave steak can have some negative side effects. Luckily Kel isn't opposed to breaking a few windows to help a friend.

Day 2: Overworked/Exhaustion - Hero

Aubrey, Kel and Basil realise how much work really goes into caring for them when Hero passes out from exhaustion. 

Day 3: Sensory Deprivation - Basil

Basil is trapped in Blackspace for three days before Omori rescues him. During that time he can not see, hear, or feel anything but the dark.

Day 4: Hiding An Injury - Aubrey

Aubrey believes strongly in keeping family business private. It's not like she can't handle a few hits. The hooligans disagree.

Day 5: Kidnapping - Hero

Hero has to do what he’s told. With broken legs and a broken spirit he’s well aware the only reason he’s still alive is because they like how warm he is. Dolls don’t need to breathe, after all.

Day 6: Mind Control - Rococo 

Rococo never did love Sweetheart as a child. Upon further reflection he realises he can't remember when he started. Maybe he never did.

Day 7: CPR - Kel 

Sunny panics when he sees a spider, and ends up pulling Kel into the water with him when he falls. Kel inhales a lot of water.

Day 8: Disassociation - Hero

Sometimes Hero can't remember his own name. He’s been struggling to remember a lot of things recently, it's just so hard when nothing quite feels real.

Day 9: Presumed Dead - Spaceboy 

Spaceboy was never located on Snowglobe in the true end.  By the time he comes down his crew are gone and there's a grave with his name on it. Maybe he can get a second chance like this.

Day 10: Collar - Spaceboy 

Spaceboy realises his relationship might be toxic only after he wakes up wearing a shock collar. By that time it's already too late for him.

Day 11: Paralysed - Mari

Mari didn’t die immediately after being pushed down the stairs. She hears everything. Suffocation is a horrible way to go.

Day 12: Sacrifice/Character Death - Basil

Basil loses everything to keep Sunny safe. Then he loses Sunny. It’s too much for him to bear. He can't keep lying anymore.

Day 13: Mouth Stitched Shut (ALT) - Hero

Medusa firmly believes that Hero is prettier when quiet. Unfortunately he just keeps whining. Marina gives her the perfect solution.

Day 14: Bleeding Through The Bandage - Aubrey 

Aubrey sees Sunny for the first time in four years and the first thing he does is stab her. The injury is much worse than first thought.

Day 15: Experimentation - Mutantheart

Mutantheart is a failed experiment, made to love and be loved. Marina wants to use her for spare parts.

Day 16: Chronic Pain - Mari

Ever since she was little, Mari has been in pain. A lot of her time was spent watching, unable to participate with a leg that tended to buckle beneath her. It hurt in more ways than one.

Day 17: "You Look A Little Pale" - Kel

Kel doesn’t get sick. He’s strong and fit and he eats well. He’s fine. He can go and do his basketball practice no problem! Hero disagrees.

Day 18: Warm Soup - Kim

Kim gets sick and all she wants is her girlfriend to cuddle with her. She guesses soup is alright too.

Day 19: "Why Wasn't I Enough?" - Kel

Kel lost everyone when he lost Mari. He doesn’t understand what he did wrong. He tried so hard. At least the stars were pretty.

Day 20: Dehumanisation - Hero, Kel, Aubrey

Jawsum wins the fight and everyone is put back to work under strict supervision. They discover the true extent of Jawsum’s questionable business practices.

Day 21: Near Death Experience - Basil

Basil stabbed himself with shears in his bathroom. He wakes up. He learns that Sunny is gone. He has to live with the consequences of everything they've done alone.

Day 22: Punishment - Mari

Mari is perfect. Anything less is not acceptable. Anything less deserves punishment and Mari is the only one who can give herself what she deserves.

Day 23: Begging - Rococo 

Rococo begs the gang not to leave him alone again (he is so lonely), not really expecting them to stay. They do. Rococo leaves the walls for the first time in four years.

Day 24: Failed Escape - Aubrey 

Aubrey makes her escape. She made a grave mistake in trying to escape with what's left of her friends. Her punishment for failing is certain to be gorey.

Day 25: Nightmares - Hero, Kel, Aubrey, Basil

A year on from Mari’s death, the kids are having nightmares. They all sneak out and end up meeting at their old hang out spot. They talk.

Day 26: Came Back Wrong - Hero, Kel, Aubrey, Basil

After the True End Headspace is destroyed, but it has always been more than a piece of Sunny’s imagination. Now stuck in a strange combination of Headspace, Blackspace, and something else entirely, the kids try to navigate their world that came back wrong.

Day 27: Locked Away/Immortal Whumpee - Unbread Twins

Biscuit and Doughie have been locked down in the kitchen for so long. Never dying. Names discarded as they become nothing but legend. 

Day 28: Hair Pulling - Kel

Kel is bullied for his long hair. When Kim shows up he's sure she'll join in. Her helping him out is a shock to the system, and they both end up learning a bit more about each other.

Day 29: Forced To Choose - Omori

Omori has to choose between his bestest friend and his god. Saving Basil or protecting the Dreamer. In the end, it wasn’t much of a choice to begin with.

Day 30: Disowned By Family (ALT) - Aubrey 

Aubrey’s mother kicks her out of the house. With no other options she turns to Kel, and she begins to learn that her family was never much of a family at all.

Day 31: Crying - Basil 

What if Basil couldn’t keep what happened a secret? What if he was just a little weaker, and when Aubrey pushed he broke? What if he cried a lot?

other misc omori: reverie (an omori postgame sequel mod) thots under the cut

good:

I like the environments! the original train/metro station was a little bland but alright, and the 'fallen world' concept of the Otherworld crashing into the ocean is neato

overall I like the skills a lot, I'm not sure why I'm being encouraged to keep capt. spaceboy on the brink of death ('YOUR STATS GO UP AND YOU DEAL MORE DAMAGE WITH 'AVENGER', DUDE' i insist, avoiding his 🥺 eyes) but sunny's music themed skills are fun, sweetheart's Heartbreaker encourages me to hum marina and the diamonds every time i use it, and Knead is good balance and character-wise. Combat's as fun as combat in Omori always was, minus the follow-ups and ult. attack so far at least, which i do sorely miss

just the seratonin of running around w/Capt. Spaceboy and Sweetheart in my party is immeasurable

the tagging pictures are mostly very cute

just in the scale and structure of the mod and the clear work put into it, it's very impressive

not so good:

see above about the eyes, and sort of chain that 'shouldn't sunny be visible injured postcanon' with... there's so far no emotional core where Sunny is concerned. Headspace was such a fraught thing in the original game, characterized just as much by elements of the real world and truth leaking through as it was by fantasy, and although Omori seemed like an unengaged character he actually had enormous stakes and goals; Reverie starts off with Sunny just kinda... chilling in an apartment alone, answering the door and popping into dreamland with no explanation, and he doesn't seem Slightly bothered about it. I don't know why any of this is being played out by Sunny, so I struggle to care about anything that happens

.....it's not helped by the fact the plot is as thin as tissue paper, sldjisdj. Doughie's looking for her brother, o hey we found him, anyway guess she's still sticking around. She, Capt. Spaceboy, and Sweetheart all wind up in the first area by... falling in, randomly, and all of them are motivated by 'find someone/just go home', which isn't particularly exciting. It feels very contrived, and while the plots in Omori also felt contrived, it was at least a little more dynamic and yknow, had a reason for being essentially busywork

characterization. oh boy. the mod's page earnestly says they wanted to be Really Faithful to the game, but I'm left feeling like they maybe haven't played the game recently. Capt. Spaceboy is WAY too fucking chill and politely anxious, like we're talking the guy whose boss emotion is first FURIOUS and then ALL OF THEM. If I'd been designing it I would have given him nothing but second-state emotions and higher lol, and Reverie's Spaceboy (bizarrely, not Capt. Spaceboy, even though the only times he left off that honorific in-game was in his Space BF/ex-BF/husband/ex-husband eras) seems to at most get... anxiously sad about things

he and Sweetheart have also now spent 20 minutes+ in each other's presence without (a) trying to kill each other (b) screaming match (c) declaring their undying love for each other (d) vanishing behind a censor bar like Sims in a bush (e) do you see what i'm saying. they're interacting like generic tsundere/awkward ex vibes instead of the glorious trashfire they were in canon

Sweetheart's characterization is also just... thin. like it's less egregious than Capt. Spaceboy just because she is a more one-note character in your encounters with her, but she has so much potential for depth that so far feels like it's Not There because it's easier to just have her call everyone peasants repeatedly and sometimes act tsundere

overall the actions feel very... fanfiction-not-in-a-good-way. there's not much conflict, everyone is sort of generic in how they speak... and because of the lack of connection, there's no feeling of camaraderie like there was in the original Omori gang. I couldn't even tell you what anyone thinks of Sunny. as opposed to Omori, where the dreamworld, by design, revolved around Omori--and, behind him, Sunny--people straight up don't seem to notice Sunny at all beyond a vague presence at the front of the character chain. I don't know if Capt. Spaceboy or Sweetheart recognize him as connected to Omori, or who they think he is or what he wants

overall:

i'm really hoping it gets Deeper and maybe feels less inconsequential as time goes on but my hopes aren't too high. still bothered about the eye thing also. sunny is a whole thing by himself but like capt spaceboy is A Pirate. It's An Essential Part Of His Design

okay i took WAY too long to realize what one of the things that was bothering me about omori:reverie but. why the Fuck do both sunny and capt. spaceboy have two eyes

—The Curse

❝Is this guardian a Jedi?❞

They danced. As the world continued to end around them, they danced together. Y/n still had a sinking feeling in her chest, and as the seconds went on, it got deeper. She sighed. Sloane and Luther continued to sway in the middle of the floor. Allison and Ben sat at a table together. Viktor and Klaus did their own subtle dance. Lila and Diego danced together under the blue dotted lights. 

Y/n felt someone tap her shoulder, and she looked up. Diego was standing behind her, “May I take her away for a dance?”

Five looked down. His chest felt empty without her leaning on it. Y/n smiled, and Five sighed, “You may.”

Y/n took Diego’s hand and let him pull her into a clumsy dance. She watched Five go back to the table. She felt Diego step on her shoes multiple times and chuckled, “God, you are awful at this.”

“Well, Klaus was always my partner.” Diego replied, “You don’t learn much when your partner is giggling and not listening.”

She smiled and took the lead. Diego’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment, but he let her lead him in a waltz. Y/n chuckled every time he would accidentally trip over his own feet. They danced until they were out of breath. Diego smiled before twirling her. Her hair flipped, and she laughed before letting go of his hand to sit beside Five at the table. She could smell the alcohol on him. 

Y/n pulled out the chair on Five’s right and grabbed a glass of water. She knew that if Five kept drinking, someone would have to take care of him. The glass had condensation on it, and it left her fingertips wet. It thudded against the plastic table. Five was eating beside her. Klaus was wandering around with a champagne flute. 

“Cinco! Ocho!” Klaus did finger guns, “Mi Hermano. Mi Hermana.”

“Oh, God.” Five muttered as Klaus sat down on his left, “What do you want?”

“Listen to me. Dad is upstairs right now with a plan to save everything. So what say we pop up to the suite for a little chitchat?”

Five narrowed his eyes, “Are you like Frick and Frack with the old man now?”

“This dad's different. He's a turtle.” Klaus said, “Hard on the outside, but all cute and wrinkly and occasionally delicious on the inside.”

“I’ll believe it when I see it,”

“Klaus?” 

“Yeah?”

Five took a sip of champagne, “Old dogs like me and him never change. He has never had our best interests at heart.”

“So, my only plan for tonight is to get fucked up beyond all recognition,” Five continued, “And make love to my wonderful girlfriend.”

Y/n choked on her water, “For fucks sake.”

“I love you too, sweetheart.”

“Sure.” Klaus clinked their glasses, “Have at it.”

“I shall!”

She shook her head and placed her cup down. Five continued to eat beside her. Klaus looked over at Diego and Lila. Y/n watched Lila come over and mutter something. She tilted her head at them. Then Chet walked around with an old camera. She watched him press the button, and a white flash filled her vision. 

Cameras flashed on every block on the way back to the Academy. A thirteen-year-old Y/n sat in the back of the limousine. Ben sat beside her. He had blood all over his uniform and his hands. Five sat in front of her, and Klaus was on his left. She picked at the blood beneath her nails. Her hair was matted with blood, and it stained her cheeks. She could feel it drying. It made her feel sticky. 

Y/n looked out the window. Fans lined up on every sidewalk with posters, cosplays, and signs. Most fans had Spaceboy, The Rumor, and The Boy posters. Some kids had The Horror posters. One kid had even dressed up like him. Ben was horrified. She saw very few of the Séance and the Kraken. Y/n knew they weren’t trendy. Not one kid or teen had anything to do with her. 

The Curse was precisely that, a Curse. She felt the weight of the pistol on her hip and sighed. She sat crossed-legged in the back as Ben fidgeted. She could hear Allison and Diego arguing in the front. Luther said nothing in the passenger seat. Five and Klaus whispered together. Ben didn’t like to talk. Y/n appreciated it. She wasn’t fond of talking. 

Her uniform was splattered all over. It was no longer navy blue. She had been too close when Allison exploded a man’s mind. Y/n was instantly covered in his blood. Allison didn’t look the slightest apologetic and ran off to Luther. She sighed and wiped her face with her sleeve. It turned darker instantly. She turned to see Five being cornered by a man and tucked her hair away. 

Diego’s knife was left on the ground. Y/n picked it up and threw it at one of the men, and he crumbled to the floor. Five looked baffled as the other collapsed with no warning. He looked down to see Y/n clenching her fist. She looked determined, “What the hell are you waiting for, Number Five? Get off your ass!”

Y/n heard a wisp, and he was gone. She held out her hand, and the knife flew back into her palm. It was covered in blood. She wiped it on her skirt before throwing it to Diego. He caught it seamlessly, “You know, you could be nicer to him, yeah?”

“I saved his life,” She retorted, “That’s plenty nice.”

He snorted. She saw Klaus get distracted. A man was reloading his gun, and Y/n walked over to him. She kicked him on the back of the knees, and they buckled. Y/n grabbed the gun from his hand and shot him in the back of the skull. She looked up and shook the hair out of her face. Klaus had wide eyes, and Y/n unloaded the gun before throwing it out, “Watch your ass, Number Four.”

She whipped around at a gun firing. Behind her, a bullet was flying threw the room toward her. Y/n huffed and turned it around. It penetrated the man’s chest and hit the wall behind him. Everyone stared. Y/n knew she looked ridiculous. Her foot was on a dead man’s neck, with blood covering every inch of her body. She walked away from the man and looked around the room. She heard Diego whistle.

“Thank god, let’s get the fuck out of here.”

Y/n walked toward the entrance and threw the doors open. The flashes blinded her. They were bright white, and all she could hear was clicking. People crowded the gate, and she navigated through them. Everyone followed behind her to the road where the limousine waited. Y/n growled with frustration.

“Get the fuck out of the way!” She yelled, “We would all like to go home now.”

People parted on the steps, and she sighed. Her shoes left bloody footprints all down the stairs. Y/n opened the car door and walked to the back row. It was a twenty-minute drive to the Academy. Everyone exited in number order. Y/n watched them exit. Luther had no blood on him. Diego had some on his cheek. Allison had some splatters on her arm. Klaus had none. Five had some on his face. Ben had some on his uniform and hands. Y/n exited the car covered from head to toe with blood. 

Reginald held out his cane and stopped her from entering the Academy. She backed up from the doors and narrowed her eyes. Then she felt her knees give out. He’d hit the back of her knees with his cane, and the crowd was laughing like it was entertainment. She growled and went to stand, but he hit her again. Y/n was tired, sticky, and annoyed. She looked up to see Ben, Vanya, and Diego in the door window. 

Y/n felt a burning pain on her back and her hands slid against the sidewalk. Her palms burned, and he slammed his cane down on her back. No one complained or yelled for her. No one cried for the villain. No one wanted to save the villain. Her head was pushed down, and all she heard was laughing before everything darkened. 

She shook her head. She felt her heart pound beneath her chest. Y/n pushed out of her chair, and Five furrowed his eyebrows, “You okay?”

“Yeah,” Y/n pushed in her chair, “I’m just going to get some air.”

Five nodded, and Y/n walked out of the banquet hall onto a balcony. The air hit her face. It was warm and soothing. The patio had yellow string lights going across the top. Big rocks made a small railing for the area. She sighed, and her hands trembled. Y/n walked up to the rocks and leaned on them. She looked up and saw the Kugelblitz looming over the building. Y/n grabbed the Rubik cube from her pocket. 

It had been a long time. Reginald stopped the treatment after she came back from the Commission. There were no stars anymore—just orange gas. Y/n looked down at the cube in her hand. It was familiar and felt light in her hand. She remembered yearning for one in Dallas, where everyone thought too much. She stared down at her hands. If she looked long enough, she could see the blood on them. 

It was never hers. Sometimes she wished it was. Y/n turned her back to the rocks and sat down on one of them. It was smooth and cool to the touch. She leaned her cheek against the wall of rock. It cooled her skin. She sighed and closed her eyes. Y/n heard the surrounding noises left. Trees swayed, music played inside the banquet hall and the faint rumbling. 

Y/n felt herself dozing and heard the ocean. She wished she could see it one last time. She looked up to see the stars glittering at her. It all felt like a subtle tease of what could’ve been. It felt nice to sleep. It felt nice to let go of the sinking feeling for two hours while her body dozed. She woke up when someone opened the door again. It was Diego and Lila. They smiled at her and sat on another rock to her left. 

Lila laid her head in Diego’s lap, and Diego leaned back against the rocks. Five was next to stumble out with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. Y/n chuckled, and Five perked up. His face lit up, and he came to sit beside her. She felt him snuggle against her left arm. Viktor gave a sheepish smile before sitting on the rocks. Five offered Y/n the bottle, and she shook her head. Luther and Sloane were next. 

“Hey, guys.”

Y/n gave a subtle wave. They sat between Viktor and Diego. Luther sat on the back rocks, and Sloane sat between his legs beneath him. She felt someone nudging her, and Five was nosing at her arm. Y/n chuckled and brought it around his shoulders. She saw Klaus and Ben exit the building next.

“Oh, no, no, no, no!” Diego shook his head, “No!”

Five grimaced, “Klaus, why are you bringing Ben here?”

“Hear me out before-“

“Hear him out,” Ben said.

“The brother that you all knew as Ben is gone. And not- I don't mean our Ben, the nice Ben. I mean this, Ben.” Y/n tilted her head, “The asshole, he's gone now. Gone.”

Luther furrowed his eyebrows, “Klaus, what are you talking about?”

“And the man that stands in front of you is new new Ben, and he's one of us, and he's a member of the team. And he's part of the family!” They both laughed. 

“And as a welcome gift, I suggest we throw him off the roof.” Five said.

“Yeah. I'll help.”

“You know what? You know what?” Luther replied, “He can stay. He can stay.”

“Why?”

“'Cause, it's my wedding day, man.” Luther retorted, “Come on. He can stay.”

Ben and Klaus exclaimed happily as they sat in front of Viktor. Five took another swig of the bottle. Y/n gently took it from him and placed it on her other side. Five didn’t seem bothered. He just snuggled into her side. She carded her fingers through his hair. Y/n stared at the orange and pink sky. 

“Hey, you know something?” Luther called, “Tonight is all I ever really wanted.”

Diego snorted, “To get hitched?”

“Just… everybody coming together when it really matters.” 

“One big real family.”

Y/n felt a jolt at her side, and Five was standing up. She watched him almost fall forward before catching himself. He coughed. Everyone laughed, “Whoa! Whoa!”

“Oh, I think I'm gonna hurl.” 

Y/n snickered as he looked around cluelessly, “Actually, uh, I think I'm hungry. See ya, guys. I'm gonna hit the buffet.”

Five walked back inside. Viktor looked at Y/n, “Is he gonna be okay?”

“I dunno,” Y/n shrugged. 

“It's Five.” Diego replied, “What do you think?”

She blew a raspberry and got up, “Thank you for tonight. Congratulations, Luther and Sloane.”

“Thank you.”

Y/n got up and walked into the banquet hall. She looked around, and Five was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and walked to the elevator. She clicked floor six and felt it move beneath her feet. It took two minutes before the doors opened again. Y/n walked down to room nineteen and pulled the key from her pocket. The door clicked open, and she locked it behind her. Y/n sighed.

She took off the belt and placed it on a table. Her knife, wallet, first aid kit, and Rubik cube were on top. She unlaced her shoes and kicked them off. Then, she walked to the bottom bunk and pulled the comforter before slipping beneath it. Her head hit the pillow and her eyes closed. The beach was so soothing. She felt the waves at her feet and the sand beneath her. Y/n ran her fingers through the sand and felt it dissolve into the beach beneath her. 

She felt the spritz of water hit her cheeks. It was cooling, refreshing, and sweet. It was like being on vacation after a long year at work. It felt like waking up on a Saturday after a long week. It was a cold glass of water at twilight. It was reading on an autumn day in the shade. It was watching the sun set and rise. It was everything she needed. 

Y/n squeezed her eyes closed when the light drifted in. The curtains had been thrown open days ago, and she forgot to close them. She groaned and threw the comforter off. She slid her legs off the side of the mattress and felt a heavy weight on her chest. Y/n rubbed her eyes and tucked her hair back. She looked out the window to see nothing but orange light. 

She padded over to her shoes and laced them up. Y/n grabbed her belt and wrapped it around her waist. The first aid kit went into her back left pocket, the Rubik cube in her right, and the knife in her front right. She left the wallet. Y/n looked into a mirror and flattened her hair before walking out of the room. She put the key in her front left pocket and walked to the elevator. It took three minutes to reach the lobby. 

Everyone aside from Viktor and Five was in the sitting area to the left of the doors. Y/n tilted her head, “Where’s Five?”

“Outside.” 

Y/n nodded and walked through the revolving doors. He was sitting with his legs hanging off the edge of the world. A bottle was placed beside him. She recognized it as the same bottle from the night before. Y/n shoes made crumbling noises against the broken asphalt. She sat on his right, and he held out the bottle. 

“No, thanks.”

Five quirked an eyebrow, “You don’t drink or smoke. How do you even have fun?”

“You’re an asshole, sometimes.”

“Well, what’s your secret?”

She crossed her arms, “Drinking and smoking are delaying the inevitable. I’d rather get over it than delay it.”

Five took another swig of the bottle, “I saw something last night.”

“I’m surprised,” Y/n replied, “You seemed pretty drunk.”

“Reginald made a deal with someone.”

Y/n tilted her head, “A deal? What kind of deal?”

“I don’t know. I only got the ass end of the conversation, and I didn’t see who it was with.”

“I haven’t felt right lately,” Y/n said, “There’s a sinking feeling in my gut, and I’ve always listened to it before, but right now, I can’t figure out what it is. But, I don’t think this deal will end with anything good.”

Five took her hand in his and squeezed, “I’ve always trusted you. I trusted you as a kid, on missions, in the apocalypse, at the Commission, back in twenty-nineteen, and in Dallas. I will always trust you; we will figure it out together if you think this deal is trouble. You’ve never steered me wrong before.”

“You make it sound like I have you wrapped around my finger.”

“You do,” He took another sip, “I’m not ashamed.”

She chuckled and squeezed his hand. He did the same. Y/n heard footsteps and perked up. An older man was leaving the hotel. He had slick back grey hair and a monocle. He wore black pants, shoes, a blazer, and a tie. He had on a patterned vest and white button-up beneath it. He held a book in his right hand. 

“Reginald.”

“I take it you know why I'm here.”

“How 'bout we save you some time? Give you the ‘no’ upfront.” Five replied, “We’re not interested in this bullshit plan you've been cooking.”

Reginald deadpanned, “It's not, as you so colorfully called it, bullshit.”

Y/n rolled her eyes and grabbed the bottle from Five’s hand. She took a swig before putting it down on the asphalt, “Mind if I join you?”

“I’d prefer you didn’t,” Y/n said as he sat down, “However, it seems like you don’t give a shit regardless.”

Five handed Reginald the bottle. He took a small sip and grimaced, “Dear God!”

Five hummed, “Louis XIII, it ain’t.”

“I've had worse,” Reginald replied and looked forward, “It is impressive, isn't it?”

“All the ways we could have screwed the pooch, this way is the most complete. I'm relieved, actually. This time, everything goes.” He took his hand and put his arm around Y/n’s shoulders, “There's no Commission, no leaping away. No life spent going mad with the desperation to see a familiar face.”

“I've seen worlds end in ways that would knock your socks off, old man."

Five deadpanned, “Wow! Reginald Hargreeves, you never cease to surprise me.”

“That is some comfort.” Reginald said, “You know, they all run together after a while. But you never forget your first. Your home. Your original sin. You never stop wondering, ‘Did I do enough to save the people I loved?’”

“Did you?”

“No, but I was hoping you children could help me out with that.”

Y/n took another sip from the bottle, “And there it is!”

“Sorry, Reg.” Five replied, “I got a message from the future.”

“What future?”

“My future self told me very explicitly not to save this world.”

Reginald laughed, “You are an arrogant son of a bitch, aren't you? ‘Future you.’ ‘Present you.’ The past is as much a mystery as the future.”

Five took a long sip from the bottle and held Y/n closer to him. Reginald narrowed his eyes, “You ruined your life once before by not listening to me. Are you prepared to do that again?”

“Hey asshole,” Y/n spat, “Maybe if you weren’t trying to hold him back or gave him the training he needed, he would’ve listened.”

He kissed her temple and sighed, “Fine, I'll attend your stupid meeting.”

“And you?”

“I’ll listen.”

“Excellent!”

Reginald stood up, and Five glared, “If you tell me what happened with you in the Buffalo Suite last night. Whom were you talking to? Was it Klaus? Was it Ben?”

“No one. I was alone.” Reginald said, “Though I doubt you were in any condition to remember.”

Y/n narrowed her eyes. Reginald gave her a subtle smile, “We should go. Don't want to be late for the meeting.”

Five looked forward, “I would move if I were you.”

“What,” Five asked, “Are you threatening us?”

Y/n felt the ground beneath her shake, and she stood up. She pulled Five’s arm, and he was pulled back. The land they had been sitting on fell from the earth. She heard him sigh and looked down at where they had been sitting. Her heart pounded. Reginald smirked.

“Shall we?”

She shook her head. Five followed Reginald into the hotel. Y/n followed closely behind them. She let them walk through the revolving door together and followed behind them. When she walked in, she heard everyone cheering from the same place they had been. Diego, Lila, Sloane, and Luther sat on a couch together. Viktor was seated on a chair to the right of the sofa. Ben and Klaus sat together on a round couch. Allison sat on a luggage cart. 

“Woo! Five! Yeah!”

Luther clapped loudly, “Here he is!”

Diego snickered, “That speech last night! Wow!”

“Brought me to tears, you big softy,” Lila said.

“I especially liked when you referred to us as a family bound by destiny and love,” Viktor replied. 

Y/n tilted her head, and Diego smiled, “Oh, shorty, you missed it! Five made a fantastic speech last night at the wedding-“

“Okay. Enough.” Five said, “It was the booze talking. In the light of day, you're all still deplorable.”

She coughed, and Five turned around, “Not you.”

Five walked toward a cushioned chair in the back. As he passed Lila, she jumped up and held her arms out. Five ignored them and walked to the chair. Y/n walked around the other side and sat beside him. He put his arm around her. Reginald stood before them, “And your day's about to get worse.”

“The Norse had eight sleepers. The Blackfoot, eight stars. As a boy, I heard the legend of the eight bells.” He explained, “All these stories are the same. The village is under threat by flood, by fire, by a night that never ends. A shaman brings his disciples to a sacred cave. He tells them if they can ring the eight magic bells, the village will be saved, and all will be restored just as it was.”

Lila raised her hand, “Reggie? Can we get a little less Brothers Grimm and more ‘What the hell does this have to do with us?’”

“There is a truth to these myths. None of you can deny what's going on around us. All existence will be gone by the end of the day, but whoever or whatever wove together space and time left a way to put things back together if the universe ever faced total annihilation.” Reginald explained, “There is a portal in the universe. I built this hotel around it, and on the other side is the answer.”

Y/n leaned, “Klaus never gets to pick the hotel again.”

Five shook his head with a subtle grin. Luther sighed, “And… we're supposed to, what? Just stroll in there, ring some bells, and fix this shit?”

“Sarcasm aside, you are mostly right.” Reginald replied, “Except for the guardian.”

Y/n tilted her head, “What kind of guardian?”

“Kinda guardian that does this.” Diego held up his hand, “He had a sword.”

“It is a force to be reckoned with.”

“A force?” Y/n snorted, “Is this guardian a Jedi? Cause if he’s not, he is not to be reckoned with.”

Lila snorted, and Luther rolled his eyes, “See? Yeah. This is where you lose me.”

“This is where he loses you?” Lila replied, “I checked out at the sacred cave.”

“Why would the builders of this ‘back door’ need to have a guardian?”

“Ah! To protect it from people who want to use it for nefarious means.”

Reginald smiled, “Correct, Sloane.”

“So it's gonna take all of us to defeat the thing protecting the bells.”

“You're actually buying his crap?” Five asked.

Allison deadpanned, “How is a guardian and bells any crazier than time-traveling briefcases and assassins with cartoon masks?”

“Actually, she's got you there.” Five sighed.

Ben stood up and walked to Reginald’s side, “I'm in.

“Me too.” Diego stood up, “But I think some of us should stay back. Like Lila.”

“Uh,” She stood up, “Or you can stay, and I can go.”

“No. This is much bigger than all of us.” Allison said, “Nobody can stay back.”

“You, my children, are all that stands between us and oblivion. Are we ready to go?”

Viktor shrugged, “Well, I say we vote.”

“This isn't a democracy.” Ben spat, “Dad's calling the shots.”

“I'm with Viktor. We vote.”

“Me too,”

Reginald looked appalled, “The world is ending, and you want to count hands?”

“You're asking us to risk our lives. I think it's only fair you give us time to discuss it.” Luther said, “Privately.”

Y/n heard Reginald scoff and walk away, “Why don't we meet back here in an hour?”

“Agreed.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Whatever.”

Five stood up and pulled Y/n up with him. She led them back to the elevator. She pressed floor six and took him to room nineteen. The key went into the lock, and the door clicked open. Five closed it behind him, and it shut with a thud. Y/n threw herself on the couch, and Five paced the room. Y/n pulled out the Rubik cube and started twisting it around. Five’s tension eased at the familiar noise. 

“I think this is a trap.”

“I believe you.”

Five turned to her, “What do you plan on doing?”

“I don’t know yet.”

She continued to twist the cube in her hands. It didn’t take long for the cube to be solved. The older she got, the easier it was. Five turned an armchair around to face the couch and sat down. She threw the cube, and he mixed it up before throwing it back to her. She started to solve, and Five rubbed his face, “We should warn the others.”

“I agree.”

Y/n stood up and put the cube in her pocket. She followed Five out of the room and walked down the hall. At the end of the hall was Luther and Sloane’s suite. It was nicer than room nineteen. It had a full-size queen bed. It had a couch and armchairs around the room too. Five knocked on the door and opened it. Y/n followed. Luther was sitting on the bed. Sloane was nowhere to be seen.

“Hey.”

“Hey,” Luther smiled, “How long do we have left?”

Five made a so-so gesture, “A couple of hours. Could be more, could be less.”

“Where's Sloane?” Y/n asked.

“Raiding the wine cellar for our end-of-the-world party.“

“So I guess you guys know which way you're voting.”

“You're more than welcome to join us.”

Five paced, “I'm still on the fence on that one. I saw something last night that I was not supposed to see.”

“Diego and Lila.” Luther said, “Yeah, they do it on the stairs sometimes.”

“What the fuck.” 

Five rolled his eyes, “No, I saw Dad. He was in his room with someone. He was making some kind of deal. Before you ask, I don't know what the deal was or who it was with. Everything is a blur.”

“Wasn't Sloane or me.” He replied, “We were, uh, busy doing other things last night.”

“Yeah, I get it, Luther. Thank you.” Five sighed, “Everyone was boning everyone last night.”

“Wait, you two-“

“Focus, please.”

Y/n face palmed, “That story about the bells? There's something Dad's not telling us. Think about it. When has the old man ever been straight with us?”

“I don't know. He was ruthless in our performance reviews.”

“He always gave me five stars.”

“Really?”

Five took a deep breath, “Look, I'm old enough to trust my instinct, and it's telling me this is a trap. Food for thought.”

Y/n walked out of the room and exhaled heavily. Five tilted his head at her, “You all right?”

“Yeah,” She said, “I think I’m gonna ponder my decision in the lobby.”

“I’ll see you at the voting then.”

She smiled before she walked off. Y/n took the stairs to the lobby. It gave her more time to think. For years, they had trained for this. She had become Reginald’s weapon for this. The thought made her want to vomit—every hit with the cane, palm, and shoe. He had wanted her angry. He knew she could do unpredictable things while angry. He wanted the public to hate her, and they did. 

Y/n sat down on the last landing. She could hear the people’s taunts down the street. Even after the Academy disbanded. Her face wasn’t forgettable. People threw things at her on the road, called her names, denied her service, and assaulted her. She’d walk around with her hood up and look down at the sidewalk while she walked. She denied herself the scenery to keep the people around her safe. 

She was eighteen years old and just needed her medication. Meritech wasn’t a far walk from the gym. It took her years to finally get help. Diego had pressured her into it. She was thankful for him in more ways than one. He was her saving grace. He was scheduled to fight that night at the gym, and she told him she’d be there. She just needed her medication. Y/n’s hood fell. 

Y/n didn’t think twice about it. The sunset was beautiful. It was purple, pink, and slowly turning orange. She passed a bar and continued to walk. Y/n heard footsteps behind her, but that was common. People walked the streets all the time. She turned a corner, and a man gripped her by the very low back. She grabbed his wrist and flipped him around. He chuckled at seeing her face. 

“Ah, one of the Academy kids,” He smiled, “You’re Number Seven, aren’t ya’?”

She didn’t say anything, “You’re the Curse.”

Y/n rose an eyebrow and lifted her leg. His forearm broke with a snap, and he cried out in pain. The man reached for her hair, but a pain in his leg made him crumble to the floor. Y/n released her grip on the man once he had melted onto the sidewalk. She spat to her right into an alley, “Next time, don’t fucking touch me.”

She sighed. It had been a long walk to Meritech that day. Part of her still yearned for her pills. Despite Five being back, somedays she wished for the white pill to dissolve in her body. Someone knocked on the stairwell, and she looked up. It was Viktor. He gave her a small smile, “We’re ready.”

“Thanks.”

Y/n followed Viktor out to the main lobby. He sat down in the center of the main stairs. Luther and Sloane sat together on the right. Diego and Lila stood on the left side of the stairs. Five leaned up against a pillar, and Y/n leaned against it on his right. Ben was on her right. Allison stood in the middle of everyone, and Klaus leaned on the opposite pillar.

“I think you can all guess which way I'll be voting. We've all been through a lot. We've all lost people.” Allison paused, “Mannequins… But their deaths have to mean something, which is why I'll be voting to go with Dad.”

Lila jumped off the stairs toward Reginald, “Let's go save the bloody universe!”

“Woo-hoo!”

“All right, well, since she said yes,” Diego sat on the stairs, “I vote stay.”

Lila scoffed, and Diego shrugged, “How's that for nice?”

“You're not being serious.”

“It's his vote, Lila.”

Allison turned to Klaus, “Klaus?”

“I am with Father.”

“Okay, that's four to one.” She said, “Viktor?”

He sighed, “Look, I wanna believe, okay? I really do. I just can't shake the feeling we don't know what we're getting ourselves into.”

“No, but we know what we've got if we don't. We have to go into this together. Viktor. A family.”

“You can't just keep throwing the word ‘family’ around. It isn't enough.” He replied, “I vote stay.”

“Luther?”

Luther rubbed Sloane’s shoulders, “Sloane and I talked, and, well, we're out. Look, we wanna spend whatever time we have left together and not fighting some guy with a sword and ringing bells and stuff.”

“Well, dead even. Four in, four out.” Viktor said.

“That leaves you Number Five and Y/n.”

Five sighed, “I saw the future, and it told me to sit this one out.”

“I vote stay.” Five said, “It's time we accept our fate.”

Everyone turned to look at Y/n, “We’re 4 in and 5 out. Looks like it’s up to you, little Y/n.”

Y/n felt their stares. She shivered. It reminded her of the whole city, watching her get beaten with a cane. She looked down at her feet and crossed her ankles. Her hair covered her face like a curtain. She felt Five staring at her with strong intensity. They felt piercing and made her cheeks run hot. She tilted her chin back up. 

“I won’t go down without a fight.” Y/n said, “I was born to be a weapon. I might as well die being one.”

“Shorty,”

“None of you get it, okay?” Y/n chuckled bitterly, “You all were the good ones, okay? You all were the heroes. I was never a hero. He,” She pointed at Reginald, “Made me a villain, a weapon, a monster from the moment he gave us our alias’.”

“No one ever thought-“

“That I was a curse?” Y/n chuckled, “Yes, you do. Everyone thought I was a fucking curse. You guys talked and acted like I couldn’t hear. You pretended like I didn’t have emotions and didn’t care. I was completely swallowed in my grief at thirteen years old, and none of you gave a shit. None of you!”

“And you know that boot camp Reginald sent me to?” They all looked intrigued, “Wasn’t a fucking boot camp. I was sent to become a fucking assassin because my grief was consuming me, and if I didn’t get it out somehow, I’d end up killing you all.”

She hesitated, “Just like when I killed Ben.”

I forgot that i should've been more specific. How were the Ligtner-version of Spaceboy and Sweetheart when they were togheter?

Just going to copy and paste this response from @a-queer-kitkat because my brain just bluescreened lol:

Susanne (Lightner version of Sweetheart) wasn't necessarily as bad as canon Sweetheart persay, namely in that she's just a person rather than an evidently fictional character with unrealistic amounts of power and ego, but she was still incredibly toxic.

She'd usually ignore Spaceboy when it came to any topics she didn't care about, she'd ditch him at random times without warning while also getting upset at him if he ever suggested not being available for something she wanted to do, she'd break up with him for petty reasons only to get back together with him soon after, she'd appreciate the euphoria of receiving gifts only to throw them away the second that initial euphoria faded- she sucked a lot.

She only dated Spaceboy for the benefits of being in a traditional romantic relationship with someone, without actually caring about who Spaceboy was as a person or putting much effort into the relationship herself. And Spaceboy.. well, he's pretty much just as head-over-heels as in canon. Even when he was able to recognize that Susanne had done something wrong, one compliment or peck on the check from her was usually all it took for the rose-colored glasses to slip right back on.

Eventually, Susanne got bored of him, and dumped Spaceboy for good (likely to get with someone else). Spaceboy was pretty crushed for a while, but as of the events of the main Deltarune plot, he's at a point where he's able to function normally on his own, though he isn't quite over her until the end of chapter 2.

Overanalyzing the OMORI Soundtrack because I said so (ALSO: SPOILER WARNING (and in tags))

So...the OMORI soundtrack is a bop but...I feel like there’s some hidden meanings in these somewhere, mainly in the names of the tracks themselves, anyways, here it goes

(003: Lost at a sleepover): Is this foreshadowing for the Sunny route where the main four end up sleeping over at Basil’s house? Plus, not to mention, Sunny is completely lost on what the truth is

(005: By Your Side.): As in Mari’s spirit is always watching Sunny

(007: 100 Sunny): Sunny possibly trying to convince himself that he is indeed still Sunny

(011: It’s okay to try again): Sounds like something Mari would say to Sunny (plus not to mention the piano variant of this song)

(019: Space Road 1979): 1979, I speculate is when Captain Spaceboy was created in the real world in OMORI

(020: See in your fantasy): Pretty much Omori exploring his dream world, his fantasy

(021: Sugar Star Planetarium): May foreshadow the fact Spaceboy and Sweetheart were together considering Spaceboy is associated with the galaxy and stars and Sweetheart is a donut, something made out of sugar thus Sugar Star Planetarium.

(022: Lost, then found): Foreshadowing Sunny finding out the truth if Sunny route is played

(023: THE VENGEANCE OF THOSE FORGOTTEN IN DARKNESS): Either refers to repressed memories coming back to hurt Sunny or Basil being upset Sunny didn’t come back if Hikikomori route is played

(024: Recycling is a concept): Sunny’s tagged term for his repression

(025: Lovesick - 80,000 Lightyears): 80,000 lightyears actually refers to a song in Jami Lynne’s musical album “Bug Spray (Never give up)” when she was under the alias Space Boyfriend

(026: I Will Catch Up!): Possibly Sunny saying he will catch up in life and that everything is okay (when it isn’t)

(029: Good For Health, Bad for Imagination): Sunny possibly being aware facing his trauma is good for his health but it’s bad for Headspace so he continues through Headspace like nothing is wrong.

(030:��Snow Forest - A Single Flower Blooms): The flower in this case is probably Basil with the Snow Forest being the truth, something cold. Basil is surrounded by the truth and remembers it well, thus he’s freezing in the coldness of the truth.

(038: Space Boyfriend's Tape - I Want Nothing More): The tune of this song is of Jami Lynne’s Space Boyfriend song “Bug Spray”

(039: Trouble - NEVER/ALWAYS): Also refers to two song titles from Bug Spray (Never Give Up)

(040: You Were Wrong. Go Back.): Refers to a lyric in one of Jami Lynne’s Space Boyfriend songs in Bug Spray (Never give up)

(044: Where we used to play): Where Sunny and his friends used to play before Mari’s death

(046: Woof): Considering the dark tone of the song, makes me wonder if Sunny has a slight fear of dogs

(060: It means everything): To Aubrey, Mari meant everything. To Aubrey, her friends being there meant everything. The fact Mari died, it meant everything. The fact no one was there for Aubrey, it meant everything. It all devastated her and made her angry considering her friends and Mari was the only real love and care she was getting when she was younger.

(066: Fade): repression

(072: Those who forget history): Again, may refer to Sunny’s repression

(076: Sweet Paralysis): Can technically refer to the fact that Sunny hasn’t moved on from his trauma like he’s stuck, like he’s paralyzed. But where’s the sweet part? His dream world, headspace

(081: Splintered Sweets in the Castle): Probably refers to how toxic Sweetheart is, her being a splintered sweet

(082 & 083: Wandering Rose & Stationary Rose): Rose, referring to Sweetheart, Wandering, referring to her quest of love, Stationary, referring to how perfect she wants her suitor to be which stifles her quest for love and only leaves her stationary despite her wandering

(085: I definitely promised you a rose garden): Probably refers to how much people who fall for Sweetheart would give to her

(086: World’s End Valentine): Sweetheart sees herself as the ultimate person, even if the world ends, she shall be the perfect partner for who she chooses thus World’s End Valentine

(087: I just love the 50s!!!): Makes me speculate that Sweetheart in the real world originated in the 1950s. Either she was a live action show or an anime if I had to guess

(091: Swirly 1000x): Probably refers to Sunny feeling stressed in the situation he’s in when having to fight the hooligans to the point where he feels dizzy. The 1000x may also refer to the fact that Sunny is aware of how powerful Aubrey’s feelings are

(110: Numbers): Okay, I just wanted to point out that the voice in the song is actually counting in German which may be why the song is called Numbers

(111: Sinking): Refers to the memories Sunny is repressing thus sinking

(114: But I wanna see it all with you): Someone definitely said that to Sunny before

(123: Fermentation Disorientation): Again, repression. Fermentation being a break down relating to food (thus where it plays in the game) and Disorientation is probably how Sunny’s thoughts are (especially when referring to Black Space)

(126: Recycling really is a concept): Probably refers to repression again (which is also touched up upon in Black Space 2 as well)

(127: Remember to be patient): Again, someone probably told Sunny this

(129: You cannot go back): Sunny has gone to far in his dreams and repression and can no longer go back to how he once was. Perhaps he has even repressed his own name at this point too.

(131: Welcome Again.): This isn’t the first time he’s been in Black Space

(132: Fleur): Basil is represented with flowers, he even has flowers that remind him of his friends and there’s even the White Egret Flower represented with Mari as well. Perhaps the White Egret Flower haunts Sunny in some way since it makes him think of Mari

(144: Come and See): I feel like this refers to Basil telling Sunny to confront the truth

(145 & 146: Friends & Friendsssssss): Sunny doesn’t know if his friends are his friends anymore thus why the songs are corrupted

(147: Orchard): Most likely refers to Basil again since Orchard relates to plants

(149: Look): The horror of what Sunny and Basil saw on that day

(153: Do you remember?): Sunny now knows The Truth and has decided to accept what had happened. Do you remember? He does.

(154: Playing Forever): Sunny can not handle what has happened and thus has decided to play forever since he can no longer handle the circumstances of his reality

(156: Save): Sunny can no longer handle what is happening so Omori “saves” him

(160: Normal.): EvErYtHiNg iS gOiNg tO bE oKaY

(161 & 162: Your Catastrophes & Your Catastrophes - Procession): Sunny is blaming himself for what happened to Mari. Basil is also blaming himself

(013, 062, 158 & 165: A Home for Flowers (Tulip), (Empty), (Daisy), (Sunflower)): A home for flowers refers to Basil, however, Tulip refers to Sunny/Omori, the flower Basil sees as Sunny/Omori. Basil sees Sunny as a great friend so it makes sense that this song sounds more cheery compared to the others. Empty refers to there being no emotion or thought, just...emptiness...just like depression. Daisy is a flower that can symbolize death. Mari is dead and thus could be what the song is referring to. Sunflower refers to Basil himself. If anything, the Sunflower version of the song sounds like Basil’s current state of mind, completely broken and in agony.

(175: Clean Slate): Sunny wakes up, ready to move on and start over on a clean slate.

-

So...that’s all the songs I have overanalyzed just by their titles alone

Anyways, have a wonderful day/night!!! :D

[ashen-laguz]

Basil and/or Spaceboy for the ask game!! My dashboard is crazy for them but I have not heart you speak about them before... ehe

lets go with this absolute nerd first because i have significantly fewer thoughts about him. i just think he is an absolutely pathetic wet sock of a man in the exact same way as kazuaki-kun. (albeit in a way where i'm not nearly as invested in spaceboy's character tbch) so easy and funny to bully. i need to microwave him right now to see what will happen. gotta stick him right into the blender. :)

that being said tho i do feel bad for him as well. seeing his "room" in sweetheart's castle, and all his dialogue in the space ex-husband fight... Oof. i want him bullied but Not Like That. lets get him away from that bitch.

(but also it is funny to see him go back to her to repeat Bad Life Decisions after you go through sweetheart's castle i'm ngl)

creative drive is marked specifically cause i rlly wanna voice-act this bitch one of these days. flipping from being so depressed to so Pissed Off, back to just nice ol' spaceboy, and then back to the lovesick bitch... i just think it would be fun =w=

basil on the other hand, i am putting under a readmore because OhNo Spoilers

tbch i'm not usually super interested in characters like him. i'm known by my friends to see that brand of meek/shy/soft character and AT BEST ignore them, at worst probly wanna see that little bitch burn.

basil is the only major exception to this tbh, and a lot of Why boils down to the realization of "oh he fucked up" when you find out the truth. I think one of my favorite things about the whole story and tragedy in the narrative of Omori is how all of the friend group is somehow at least a little bit in the wrong, in a way where it's not great to not hold them accountable, but also in a way where like... It's really easy to see where they're coming from, why they messed up, and they're still super sympathetic about the whole thing. and i think basil is the perfect embodiment of all that tbh.

like in the whole situation with Mari's death, i do not think it's hard to realize that basil defo was not thinking clearly. obviously an anxiety ridden child who sees his best friend shutting down over a horrible tragedy is not gonna know wtf to do. he's obviously not gonna wanna believe his best buddy did anything wrong, he's not gonna want anyone else to think his best friend did anything, he's gonna be way too panicked to really make any good decisions... and realistically speaking, was there really any good decisions that could have been made??

but at the same time, the option he took was definitely one of the worst ones he could have made! covering it up as a suicide left a huge lack of closure, it fed into sunny not accepting the truth for so long, it fed into basil's own denial... we know hero directly blamed himself for not noticing anything to lead to that "suicide" and i sure as hell don't think he was the only one. basil's decision made everything so, SO much worse then it needed to be.

but he was also just a child. a panic-ridden child who just walked in to see one friend's corpse near his shut-down best friend. i'm a grown ass adult and i know i wouldn't be able to handle that well! like hell a KID is gonna know what to do!

i marked the bad takes thing tho cause he's one of those charas where a lot of fandom interpretation really just gets under my skin. i hate a lot of the "uwu he's such a soft sweetboi" treatment he gets from fandom cause that's simply not true, it's erasing the fact he Very Much Did Fuck Up, and that kind of behavior towards characters has always made my blood boil if i'm being completely honest. i also do not care for the people treating him like a monster/like most of what happened is his fault, cause!!!! no!!!!! he's just a scared kid who fucked up! he's complex! he's an incredibly well-written character and by god do i have many thoughts about the lad. i could probly go off a lot longer and a lot more comprehensively if my brain wasn't currently mush tbh.

[piss-bread]

Who wants to see an Omori + DSMP crack AU Because it's gonna get made

I need to work on it but

Ranboo = Sunny/OMORI

Ok I joke about this a fair amount because they're both characters that are black and white, but it kinda fits? Memory issues man.

Fundy would also maybe fit because he has nightmares, but nah.

Aubrey = Quackity

Ok besides the fact Quackity with long pink hair is a wonderful image, it again, fits. His character has gotten a lot more violent, and he's kinda always been an outcast. Mans would 100% push a child into a lake out of rage.

Hero = Philza

He's the dad of the friend group. I don't- really have much more here.

Kel = Tommy

Hyperactive traumatized child.

Basil = Tubbo

Likes bees? Check. Would help hide a body? Check. Would be in a platonic relationship with a person who accidentally killed someone? Check. Traumatized? Check. Absent Parents? Check.

Mari = Wilbur

Ok hear me out, Wilbur is canonically his Brother-in-law so that fits. Ghostbur is Something.

Captain Spaceboy = Fundy

Sad man. Would be a simp. Hates when people call him names. Has cool jacket. Sharp ears. Trans.

Sweetheart = JShclatt

Fundy used him as a father figure in the real world so it got twisted into him being a simp.

Pluto = Foolish

I don't know, okay? It just makes sense to me.

Slime Girls = BBH, Ponk, and Antfrost

Tentacles? Blood Vines. They tried to feed people to the Egg like the the Slime Girls tried to feed the gang to Humphrey.

Jawsum = Eret

Jawsum was actually kinda a cool guy? Plus, he has style.

Giant Yellow Cat = Michael

The favorite.

Abbi = Dream

You see his influence everywhere. Even when you don't know exactly who he is. He used to be the wisest, but he went too ahead of himself and lost his wisdom. The original problem. He's been here forever.

Hector = Slimesicle

Well the last one was heavy. Get it? Since Hector's a rock? I'm hilarious.

He's been gone for most or the time, but he's still one of the best characters.

Humphrey = Skeppy

A silly blue idiot. Only difference is that Humphrey was made to be hated.

Mailbox = Techno

He has a lot of stuff. He hides it. He likes Philza.

Kim = Sapnap

He deeply cares for Quackity. Plus, I can totally see Kim commiting Arson.

The Maverick = Mexican Dream

They have similar energy.

Polly = Mumza

Low-key adopted a child.

Vance = Purpled

He isn't a super important character but that might just be because how little we know about him.

Jason = HBomb

He's there! He is there! But who tf is he?

Angel = Nikachu

She tries so hard but still has no idea what exactly is going on.

Aubrey's Mom = Punz

What is he doing? Who knows. How many fucks does he give? Also unknown, but probably none.

Don't know about the rest.

[theannaredfield]

Final Omori Update (8 and 9/9)-

•So HeroXMari is canon right?

•Kinda getting SunnyXBasil vibes, I think it would be cute

•Hero. I simp. Mmm. Yes. Simp.

•Okay but like this photo album is so god damn cute omg. I love it so much.

•So... Aubrey’s mom is neglectful and she lives in a pigsty huh...? I can understand the feeling honestly... my house is the same way cause of my mom -all the trash. I mean there’s trash but it’s mostly just clothes. So.. I can relate to that and how she feels. Her room is the only decent place, and even then... mmm... poor Aubrey...

•So we can assume Mari’s leg wasn’t always bad because she was able to carry Sunny home off the bus. We can assume it didn’t drop them off right at their house because it seems their house is at the end of a road? So it probably dropped them off at the beginning of the street. Buses don’t usually go down roads like that.

•Okay but Mari and Hero are just too dang cute omg. I really feel bad for Hero, he really lost the love of his life. Also Sunny in the sand is. So cute. He’s just a vibing little dude. Also Hero went straight for laying in the chest.

•Also also we can probably assume Mari has self esteem issues, because she didn’t think her flower crown was great while everyone else did. So this could also hint toward her depression which might’ve caused her to Kermit... also that was.. the last nice summer...

•SUNNY AND MEWO IN THE BOX ONG MY HEART- Also “Kel’s next victim” also also, the giant stag... I can only think of ACNH.

•1.) I want Mari’s chocolate chip cookies 2.) So Captain Spaceboy and Sweetheart are based off fictional characters from their universe, which makes sense. A child’s imagination will bring their favorite fiction to life. Trust me. I know.

•So Mari is... older than Hero? Or are they the same age and she was just preparing for college more?? Also... she died soon before their recital... :c

•I’ll take a hug Hero!!!

•Okay, so them visiting her grave hit me right in the feels, and I feel terrible for all of them because her death was so hard, and like Hero still blames himself and Kel regrets not visiting more and just... the picnic was so nice... god this episode is gonna make me sad... Also I feel bad simping for Hero because of all this. Like omg the mental toll that must have on him.

•Hero is me when there’s a spider. God I wish I had someone like Kel.

•FINALLY someone addressed that Sunny might’ve had it the worst when Mari died, and that someone should’ve worried about making sure he’s okay. I’m glad it was Aubrey too because she was the one who was like “you guys weren’t there for ME!” Like. No one was there for Sunny either, and that was his sister! Also... I’m starting to get the implications thay Sunny might’ve developed an eating disorder from the depression caused by Mari’s passing? Because this is the second time they’ve mentioned he’s gotten thin.

•.....oh my god.... hold on... I... need to go cry....

•Sunny has finally awakened in Omori’s world! So Sunny and Omori are two different parts of him! And Omori’s the bad part! Yes Sunny! Revolt! Break free! You don’t need White and Black Space anymore!

•... Sunny... killed Mari... and framed it as a suicide... he didn’t mean to... she broke his violin... And the eye thing... represents her dead body, with eyes open... and Basil... knew... So Mari wasn’t depressed... and if Sunny’s friends knew what he did... they’d never forgive him...

~~~~ (9/9)~~~~

•Basil no... my baby boy...

•Okay so in the bad ending since Sunny doesn’t overcome his trauma of killing Mari, and Basil dies, he.. well doesn’t overcome it and let it go, which is why the something follows him into the car, because he hasn’t let go or vanquished the trauma at all, he hasn’t come to terms with it so now it’s going to follow him to the new place, and no matter what it’ll haunt him forever. He isn’t free. The sirens at the credits could allude to Sunny having a.. similar fate to Basil or to the ambulance going to get Basil, or any of the other friends who might’ve fallen victim

•SPEAKING OF SUNNY HAVING A SIMILAR FATE. Uh. Fuck. I don’t even have a comment why are they all dying??? So in Bad Ending 2 Sunny... also Kermits and it’s most likely because of the guilt caused by both Mari and Basil’s death. He inadvertently caused both. White space could no longer keep him going. It pushed him over the edge you could say.

•Okay the one thing that annoys me about all the Sunny dies endings is that his mom like. Just calls. Forever. Like you’d think adventuly she’d go inside and realize somethings wrong but NOPE. Just chill in the car. And the movers don’t even say anything if he’s dead IN THE LIVING ROOM. Wtf. Like I get it’s suppose to be creepy but I would’ve liked to hear a scream of horror? Just change it up a bit?

•Okay so the deciding factor on if you get a good or bad ending is saving Basil.

•Okay this ending has a lot to unpack. So Basil is angry and Sunny for leaving him alone to carry this burden, but also for running away from it. Basil has also been driven to madness because he’s had to keep it all to himself, and he’s trying to convince himself that Sunny wouldn’t have killed Mari and destroyed the pictures. So all this is just weighing on Basil and causing him to get aggressive. Sunny left Basil alone with this secret and the idea of him being completely alone is maddening to him. Sunny is the only person who saw what he saw. The only other person who knows. Basil is also suffering hallucinations as he tries to convince himself that something else did all this bad stuff. He really doesn’t think his best friend could do anything wrong... seems.. kinda toxic actually. Like Basil has been manipulated and gaslighted except he wasn’t.. at least, not by Sunny.

•I love the idea of like. Omori and Sunny having to duke it out, Sunny is fighting his bad and inner/dark thoughts. He’s overcoming them. He’s believing in his friends and he’s not letting his depression control him anymore. Omori is all the bad parts of Sunny. The part that feels the most guilt, but also the side that views him as a killer, and that he killed Mari. He’s the one who thinks he’s irredeemable. In short, he’s Sunny’s depression, and if Sunny is ever going to be able to move on and let what happened in the past go, and forgive himself, he needs to overcome Omori.

•As someone who struggles with mental health problems, it’s really uplifting to hear the friend’s words, even if I don’t really believe it. They’re caring people...

•Main concern is if Sunny and Basil are okay. They were just stabbing each other.

•Yet another ending where Sunny basically succumbs to his depression, and let’s Omori take over.- Okay was not expecting that though...

•Sunny: *gets into position to play the violin* You Lose. (Honest that was really awesome!)

•Okay so this time Omori dies, showing Sunny has overcome his anxieties and has come to terms with his past. He accepts it. He won. OMG DID HE JUST DO A LITTLE TRUMAN SHOW BOW!?

•So Basil really did stab him...

•And he’s finally letting his emotions go, he’s finally crying over his loss and his pain... he’s allowing himself to emote.. I’m so proud...

•TOBY FOX WORKED ON THIS-

•So Basil and Sunny both attacked each other out of defense because of their growing anxieties and shit from keeping this huge secret, but once they came forward with the truth, the burden vanished, they were okay. A weight was lifted off their shoulders and they could try to be happy and be friends again.

Final thoughts- Now I thought this was a really cool and interesting game! I hope it gets more traction because, like I said, it’s very interesting and definatly can throw you for a loop. I went into it knowing there was a twist ending but I wasn’t even correct, and I’d say I’m p good at figuring shit out. But yeah I really liked it! I’m def gonna look up a bunch more just so I can see what I missed, or to just hear other peoples ideas, get a clearer view on the story! Also I’m so looking at the fan art now, omg I’ve been waiting for this.

I’m a little sad Sunny still moved away but I know they couldn’t just not... and I wish we could’ve seen everyone’s reactions. But yeah I still got a few more questions but as for watching the game, that’s it. That’s the end. And I’m happy about it honestly. I can’t say it enough but I really enjoyed watching it and figuring the stuff out! It was cool! (Also the music is a bop.) I’m just glad my children could be happy at the end.

i don’t know if you where asked this yet- but opinions on each character?

If you meant each character, theres only really like, *counts fingers*-9 characters I care about in the OMORI game-

So I'll just give you a run down of my opinions for these 9 lucky peons starting from my least favourite to my favourite I guess.

.. its complicated.

My feelings about Sunny is so turbulent that I honestly don't really know how to feel about him most of the time. This is the best I could describe it.

He's cute, and his flower crown is so fun to draw and colour.

But I hate him. And love him at the same time. Most of all, I genuinely pity him for living.

She's just too... she hits way too close to home.

Aubrey, like me, is a hypocrite who does things impulsively. I hate how I'd probably do the same thing if I was in her shoes.

And Headspace Aubrey just has this pretentious tone of speaking that I definitely have (no matter how sincere I try to sound), so I can't even tell if she's kinning me or I'm kinning her anymore

Also fanfic writers, except for the few exceptions, cant for their lives write her right. Like do you guys just write Aubrey in there for the Sunburn????

Now on to my top 3

I draw her so much... way too much... 大姐我爱你。。。

TOP 2 is tied between

SLAY. QUEEN. SLAY.

Even tho she got her heart sweeped #heartsweep she's the queen in my heart 🎇

I'm probably like the #2 Sweetheart fan, right behind @lesleyn lmao

EUGH, IM CURRENTLY IN A HERO OBSESSION AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHHHHHH AJSBWUJSNDNSKDJEH.

OH HERO YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. YOU DESERVE TO GO BATSHIT AND YOU DESERVE TO GO INTO A YBM PHASE, BECAUSE I WILL STILL LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU. 💔💔

Oh Hero... someone please feed me some Hero content PLEASE.

NOW ONTO THE TOP 1 WHICH TIED BETWEEN THESE THREE.

So I didnt really care about him all that much in the begining BUT THEN

Hikikomori route.

S P A C E - E X H U S B A N D

And then there was this Spaceboy centric fic that's about him stumbling into blackspace and realising the truth and i-

AND I FELL, HEAD OVER HEELS- COMPLETELY IN LOVE, LIKE MARRY ME PLEASE TYPE OF LOVE.

You are too good for SWEETHEART, my queen is mine and you are mine as well.

K E L

Just Kel.

The core of The Gang (sorry Mari, you got outshoned here)

Reblog if you agree.

And then there was one. The king of headspace and my heart 🖤🤍

I actually dont know why I love him so much, maybe he really is just the better version of Sunny (IN MY OPINION) he just gives off this empty, empty, depressing feeling that I love oh so much

and maybe one part of me is just super bitter with the fact that A03 writers always write Omori as this villain.

OMORI AI-less Whumptober 2023

Contents Page:

DAY ONE: Sick Summary: Aubrey falls ill, unable to leave her room. Her mother doesn’t care, and certainly won’t let her friends come visit.

DAY TWO: Overworked Summary: Hero uses studying to cope with Mari's death. Unfortunately, staying up all night studying can lead to passing out at the most inconvenient of times.

DAY THREE: Isolation Summary: Unlike Hero and Sunny, Aubrey didn’t isolate herself. Her friends and family did so for her.

DAY FOUR: Hiding an injury Summary: Mari’s supposed to be perfect, not go running for help. Hero’s got enough of her worries on his plate without her bad knee too.

DAY FIVE: Held at gunpoint Summary: Someone’s got a gun at Hero and Kel’s school. Kel should be concerned for himself, but all he can think about is his brother.

DAY SIX: Mind control Summary: Under Bossman, Hero is a puppet. He has no say in what his body does, and no way to resist when it starts to hurt his little siblings.

DAY SEVEN: Flatline Summary: Basil hears his grandmother die. The sound of her flatlining sticks with him for hours afterwards.

DAY EIGHT: Panic Attacks Summary: Aubrey deals with things using anger. She can control that, but the panic rushing through her is a different matter entirely.

DAY NINE: Presumed dead Summary: In Black Space, he gets constantly ripped apart, and Omori doesn't seem to care. When he returns to Headspace, Basil learns that his friends ended up giving up on him completely.

DAY TEN: Collar Summary: Molly always treats him like he's less than human. Still, Omori really could've done without the constant reminder around his neck.

DAY ELEVEN: Paralysed Summary: Upon a mountain, freezing to death, Spaceboy can't move a muscle. He's beginning to dislike the numbness.

DAY TWELVE: Sacrifice Summary: The Recycultists have never been a threat, not really. Things change when Basil ends up in one of their rituals.

DAY THIRTEEN: Drowning (ALT Prompt) Summary: He's not a strong swimmer, and hasn't been since he was little. Still, Sunny jumps in after Basil, and wonders if he meant for this to happen.

DAY FOURTEEN: Grief (ALT Prompt) Summary: Unlike Mari, Hero leaves a note. Kel finds it just minutes too late.

DAY FIFTEEN: Transformation Summary: Spaceboy tries to fight the anger that threatens to overcome him every single time. It never works, and hearing that tape again is the last straw.

DAY SIXTEEN: Hospital Summary: Mari is familiar with hospitals, especially this one. One place she's never visited before, however, is its roof.

DAY SEVENTEEN: Hypothermia Summary: Maybe climbing a huge, snowy mountain in only her too-large nightgown and with no shoes wasn't the best idea. Aubrey's certainly starting to feel the chill.

DAY EIGHTEEN: Warm soup Summary: Sunny hasn't eaten Hero's food in years. Now, starving as he is, it tastes even better than ever.

DAY NINETEEN: "Why wasn't I enough?" Summary: Locked in the walls, Rococo's starting to go insane. He still doesn't understand what he did wrong.

DAY TWENTY: Stockholm syndrome Summary: Hero, touch-starved and grieving, craves even the tiniest scrap of love. Finding it in Sweetheart was inevitable, really.

DAY TWENTY-ONE: Near-death experience Summary: After Humphrey, his friends seem fine. Omori knows better.

DAY TWENTY-TWO: Punishment Summary: The guilty must be punished. Sunny can tell no-one, so the only one left to inflict punishment is him.

DAY TWENTY-THREE: Forced to watch Summary: When Kel is about to be strapped down to the dissection table, Hero begs to switch places. Kel hears every broken cry that follows as his older brother watches him get cut open.

DAY TWENTY-FOUR: Failed escape Summary: Hero tries to escape the basement. The man who took him films his punishment. (Inspired by @charismabee's 'found footage' one-shot in our Hero-centric Febuwhump earlier this year)

DAY TWENTY-FIVE: "Why didn't you save me?" Summary:  If Basil had been there even a minute earlier, he could have helped. Instead, he made everything infinitely worse.

DAY TWENTY-SIX: Curse Summary: Biscuit used to be able to talk. Now, the only person who understands him is his sister.

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN: Immortal whumpee Summary: Mari was supposed to be dead. However, looking at herself in the mirror, she sure didn’t look like it.

DAY TWENTY-EIGHT: Oxygen deprivation Summary: On a mission through the stars, something goes horribly wrong. Before he knows it, Spaceboy is struggling to navigate the way back as his lungs run out of air.

DAY TWENTY-NINE: "The easy way or the hard way?" Summary: Mikhael’s cocky attitude and overall lameness lands him in a bit of trouble when he gets on the wrong side of a group of delinquents at Closeby High. He only hopes the Hooligans come to his assistance soon.

DAY THIRTY: Mind games Summary: Rococo owes Sweetheart his everything, and he knows she loves him… Even if what she says sometimes doesn’t completely align with that.

DAY THIRTY-ONE: Crying Summary: Kel hasn’t let himself cry in years. After seeing Basil’s body in the bathroom, it’s all he seems able to do.

And so, the time arrives! I will be posting each of the above one-shots to AO3 under "Whumptober 2023", as well as here on Tumblr in a series of posts. I will add links to each day once completed, as well as a 'previous' and 'next' to each day on Tumblr. I hope that you stick around and enjoy this month, because it's going to get whumpy!

(In addition to this, I will be doing a collaborative work with @charismabee centred around every alternative prompt for this event. Each day will be set in a different Omori AU that we've created. She is also doing her own version of Whumptober alone, so check her out if you'd like to see more! <3)
