TW: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM AND HALLUCINATION

Also, let's just address the song 'My Time' for a second.

Close, your eyes, you'll be there soon.

The song takes place as Sunny has decided that the only way to escape all his trauma, to escape the truth, to escape Something, is by ending it all. By pretending that everything is okay, by tricking himself so much he might just believe it.

These lyrics represent Sunny running away and escaping to headspace, where nothing bad has to or will happen.

Ichi ni san shi go fun (3 minutes to position)

Tokidoki, hontou ni netai (sometimes I really want to sleep)

Demo, kono waado dekinai (but I can't add this sum)

These lines just show us so much about Sunny's life. Sometimes, all he wants to do is go to sleep and run away to headspace where he can hide from everything bad. But he can't add up this sum. Nothing in his life makes sense - he's lost, confused, and it's preventing him from hiding in his happy place. He's exposed, and has to face the truth - he has to face real life, or leave it for good, and never return.

'Oyasumi' meaning 'good night' in Japanese - it's as if Sunny is saying goodbye. Goodbye to his friends, goodbye to his life. He's leaving now, going off to stay in his happy dreamworld. 'Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream' is really interesting too. In this bad ending, we're shown Sunny fading away immediately. He drops his violin almost instantly, representing how easy it is to just give up. Omori has taken over now, and dreamspace is 'the real world', as far as he's concerned. Omori has lied to Sunny so much that he's tricked himself into believing that the real world is just a false reality, and that his happy comfort world is where he's meant to be.

I could write an essay on this song but I won't because I think that would drive me to the brink of insanity.

… OKAY so !!

I think SUNTAN shippers tend to get annoying since a lot comment on how “SUNFLOWER IS SO PROBLEMATIC!!!! ANYWAYS SUNTAN BETTER!!!!” especially those on tiktok. They also do tend to spread lies of SUNFLOWER being toxic and that they’re codependent (they’re not really??? I mean, you could interpret it as such, but please do realize that the signs are present in almost all BASIL ships as well. None of his interactions in-game are “good”, especially the ones with AUBREY. and SUNNY.). SUNTAN shippers also do tend to get annoying with like… stuff like the pinwheel placing. You could take that as SUNTAN proof yes but like… BASILHERO and stuff like that does also exist… And like, the dynamics are almost the same every time. It’s just sad wet depressed cat and happy dog. They also do tend to not acknowledge that KEL might be the one to forgive SUNNY and BASIL first. It might be HERO, AUBREY even. Just because KEL is the way he is, doesn’t mean he’ll forgive them first. Also like? Make KEL sad in a situation that isn’t just SUNNY killing himself. Please.

PHOTOBOMB shippers…. They’re actually pretty okay!! The only thing I dislike is when they call the BASIL in other ships “watered down” or misinterpreted for a totally wrong reason. I saw a take where one said that BASIL wasn’t concerned about SUNNY and instead was concerned about what SUNNY can do for him and put SUNNY’s needs second which isn’t the case. It really isn’t! BASIL was hallucinating in that fight. He genuinely believed SOMETHING was there. He wanted to protect him, because he truly believes that SOMETHING is there. BASIL is also scared of SUNNY leaving because he was one of the only ones who actually listened to his vents and rants enough to know almost everything about him. He’s panicking, and for a good reason. He doesn’t know if the truth will ever be revealed. The guilt eats him up alive everyday, the lies, the deception, it eats him up and leaves him paranoid. Which is why he acts the way he is in the fight. It’s his last chance to at least get the truth out, to see SUNNY again, but because of his hallucinations and delusions, the fight ended up happening.

That being said. I do also have a problem with the ones that don’t recognize that bullying is in fact abuse. I’m not calling AUBREY an abuser, but she Did do fucked up things. She was a horrible person, but she wasn’t evil. He’s not calm because he understands, he’s calm because he thinks the one at fault. He thinks he deserves it. He understands, yes, but that’s not why he’s calm. He’s calm because he genuinely thinks there’s something wrong with him, and that he’s the one who needs to adjust. Technically, what she did Is abuse, since bullying is considered abuse. It doesn’t matter if it was verbal abuse at first, it still counts as it. Verbal bullying is STILL bullying. It’s a pretty gray area when it comes to AUBREY, because I don’t want to be too harsh and call her an abuser, but yeah. She was a horrible person, not evil, but one with many mistakes and one who needs to actually atone. Words and feelings don’t matter without actions, much like how actions don’t matter much without the words. They need confirmation that you actually mean it, much like how they need confirmation you’re doing it because you’re sorry.

Also like. Most victims of bullying and/or abuse tend to feel for their abuser if they were previously close to them. Especially if they had a familial relationship or a friendship relationship. That’s what most people that ship it tend to not notice. PHOTOBOMB will take a lot of months, maybe years even to start communicating as close as they were in the past. They will have a phase where they have to heal. I’m sorry, but if you ship SUNTAN and PHOTOBOMB just because SUNFLOWER is toxic, you uh…. I don’t know. If you ship it for different reasons, I don’t mind, but that specific reason is bullshit lmao.

… I think I’m just a hater.

omori spoilers//

something i love about omori is how it shows every character doing something bad or being an asshole at some point.

for instance, while playing faraway town (at least for me) it's apparent that both kel and aubrey were being kinda dicks at some point. aubrey bullied basil and was just kinda mean, and kel was also rude by barging in on the church service and refusing to understand aubrey.

basil, hero, and mari all did bad things too. basil covered up mari's death and lied to everyone about it, hero shut himself away and ended up snapping at kel. mari pushed sunny far too much because of her perfectionism.

i love this because it's something adamantly shown throughout the game, how people make mistakes and can be forgiven for it. as in, showing sunny that he's not the only one who's done something wrong, and that he can be forgiven too.

Actually, while we are at it, can we talk about how awful a lot of the fanbase treats Basil? My man can’t catch a break because almost everyone misinterprets him one way or another.

Where do I even start? Literally everything he does is taken the wrong way. There’s the people who characterize him as an obsessive yandere who only cares about Sunny and did everything in his power to isolate him. On the other hand, we have people who just remove one of the basic core aspects of him as a whole and make him an empty husk with no real personality.

Headacanon him however you want, but also try to understand him? I don’t know how people can say he only cares about Sunny when it’s clear he deeply appreciates his friends. He has a stronger bond with Sunny, but that doesn’t mean he’s a possessive and obsessed person who is toxic.

He definitely fucked up along the way, but his actions were never intended to hurt Sunny intentionally. He was in a panic and all he wanted was to keep his best friend safe. People constantly treat him as he’s a disgusting person for simple fact he shows mental illness signs, which is incredibly disheartening because there IS people in real life who act this way and can’t help it! What a relief it is to know people will treat me or my friends like this if we dare show an ounce of distress or panic!

Being mentally ill does not justify your actions, but this also doesn’t mean you are allowed to treat people who suffer from them like scum. People like Basil deserve to get help, to have people who support them so they can start healing. Basil clearly didn’t have that support, the only person that was there for him being his bedridden grandmother who he eventually lost.

And on the other hand, we have people who just choose to get rid of Basil’s personality altogether and characterise him as this character who is all suffering and trauma based off things that are NOT canon. It’s true that Basil’s life doesn’t exactly fit a “normal” childhood (having to live with his grandmother for unknown reasons) but that doesn’t immediately mean he is beyond traumatized? Basil is a little shy, sure, but a lot of people are. Basil used to be a smart and lively kid who loved his friends dearly. It wasn’t until AFTER the incident that he spiralled to the point he is where we see him in game.

People either disregard his trauma and paint him as a villain (let’s make one thing clear, there are NO villains in OMORI), or try to give him even more trauma for no apparent reason. All we know is that his parents aren’t really present in his life, and while that may bring some issues, from what we can see in cutscenes and the photo album, Basil lived a comfortable life surrounded by a loving family member and friends who cared about him.

You are free to explore Basil’s character however you like, but there’s a point where it no longer feels like Basil.

There is nothing wrong with showing his gentle side, just as how there’s nothing wrong to explore his unhealthy behaviour. But focusing on only one of the aspects of his entire self just turns him into a one-dimensional character with no redeemable qualities.

In my opinion, Basil is one of the best examples of a person struggling with mentally illness in media, yet people choose to ignore the complexity of his character to have either a selfish and dangerous yandere or a cute and shy femboy who’s only there to look pretty.

Write him like the mess he is. He is unstable. He is resentful, he is paranoid. That’s what makes Basil’s character so loved. That’s what makes him feel so relatable and human. Ignoring one side of his self takes away all of that. OMORI is a game about acceptance and forgiving. Why shouldn’t we apply those terms to their characters? It’s rather hypocritical for the fanbase to treat Sunny as a poor boy who only did what he did due to stress and trauma and then mark Basil as a psychopath with no redeemable features as if he wasn’t also a scared child who witnessed his very best friend push his sister down the stairs.

The pitfalls of every Sunny ship

Diving straight into the hot coals with the first post. But it has been on my mind lately.

The setup in Omori is naturally quite mentally (and in some cases physically) taxing on every main cast character, and a shipper can very easily be overenthusiastic about getting a "happy ending" for their preferred pair, glossing over inconvenient problems and dynamics. I think that it really is rather contrary to the game's themes that this occurs, but it is also understandable that not everybody does a full psychoanalysis of every plot point in their story. I'll list some "common" problems I've personally encountered with people making content about sunburn, suntan and sunflower. I'm more familiar with the dynamics common on ao3 than elsewhere, so if you have any other observations or things to add, please feel free to do so.

# OMORI SPOILERS BELOW #

Sunburn

The "canon" ship. The fact that the ship is explicitly mentioned in game means that the ship is viewed as the "default", and it can lead to some lazy dynamics or lack of justification. You have to remember that no matter what headspace says (and headspace says a lot of things that aren't true), the first thing Sunny and Aubrey did after four years is beat the shit out of each other. Sunny knows nothing about the Hooligans, even though we do, and Aubrey thinks Sunny abandoned her (which is a feeling unlikely to abate after the truth). There needs to be basis for the ship as well - they aren't going to just pick up where they left off (presuming they had anything to leave off in the first place) right away. Which leads us to the first common problem:

Basing the relationship entirely on the past

This is the default reaction and requires the least writing creativity, so it is not surprising that it is common. Simply porting the HS dynamic or the swing scene to the future and copy-pasting is fun and cute and all, but it ignores the fact that both Sunny and Aubrey have changed massively. There's a lot of guilt that is going around, both with Sunny for obvious reasons and Aubrey for pushing Basil in the lake, and Aubrey has a bunch of new, closer friends whom depending on your interpretation are either theatre kids or delinquents. This is not really just going to get talked away on the swing set - they involve third parties.

I would venture to argue that this is actually a very problematic pitfall, despite it being generally not a very serious transgression in real life. Omori, as a game, is about moving on from the past. If you write a fic where the characters forget about bad things in the past but hang on like hell to the good things... that's Headspace. You've just put Sunny in a new Headspace.

Getting Basil out of the way

Even among sunburn/suntan shippers, it is pretty generally accepted that Basil was somewhat attached to Sunny even before the accident. So if you don't want to do sunflower, how do you deal with that?

You can write angst, where Aubrey and Basil end up fighting over Sunny. Weirdly, I've never seen this actually happen (probably because it's too heartbreaking). You can have Basil go to therapy, and get rid of an unhealthy attachment. You can also go the seriously angsty route of Basil hating Sunny for abandonment, Sunny hating Basil for his role in the incident, or a less intense version which just puts a barrier between the two. You can also have Sunny reject Basil. Or you can argue that the attachment was platonic, which is entirely fair.

What you cannot do is have Basil be romantically interested in Sunny, but "get out of the way" for Aubrey "so that Sunny can be happy". Or, well, you can do that, but you can't frame it as anything but serious angst from Basil's POV.

Unfortunately, many, many "pure fluff" Sunburn fics do this, because "pure fluff" fics don't want to untangle the whole thing as most methods involve some degree of emotional turnmoil. This is no ordinary infautation - Basil has waited for Sunny for four years. Nursing unrequited love like that is really, really painful. It is certainly not something that someone with Basil's character and history can do with a smile on their face. If you need any further convincing, I point you to Note to Self: Don't Be Gay in Faraway Town by witheredahlia.

A version of this which I think is a lesser sin (because it is at least framed with some nuance), but a sin regardless, is Aubrey getting annoyed at Basil for "stealing" Sunny's attention from her. This gets dangerously close to the reddit comments you see about "the friend group will be better off if Basil never joined".

Suntan

Despite sunburn being the "canon" and sunflower being the natural alternative, I actually think that this is the default. After all, Kel was the one to bring Sunny out, generally saving his life, and is his first friend, etc. Kel is also a clean slate character, with nothing anyone can particularly hold against them, and as a result suntan is the "healthiest", "least questionable" ship. This commits the customary mistake of believing Kel's parents when they say "eh, it's Kel, he'll be fine".

"Kel's fine"

No, he's not. He's spent the better part of four years trying to forget the happiest times of his childhood, and has been going around doing nothing but fixing and saving other people, putting others' needs far above his own, for the entirety of pre-canon and foreseeably for a good part of post canon as well. Suntan, especially with Sunny still in a vulnerable state post-canon, can very easily be written into Kel being Sunny's unpaid, untrained therapist, and his mood/health being Kel's only/majority source of validation. Kel's self-worth independent of his friends needs addressing and development, and without a lot of development, Sunny alone is not really equipped to provide that.

In all fairness, while I would be somewhat confident in saying that the majority of canon-compliant sunburn fics run into the problems above, suntan fics do usually handle it better. That might just be because there aren't that many suntan fics though.

Sunflower

It goes without saying that sunflower has the highest potential to be unhealthy. But precisely because of that fact, people writing sunflower are usually very careful to address it. Either the fic is written as a work exploring codependency/attachment/trauma/other general unhealthiness (which you can make your own judgement on whether it's a legitimate art form or problematic), or there is at minimum an attempt at pacing, therapy and general juggling of the various mental issues the game leaves Sunny and Basil with (for a shining example, see These Days Without You by Smitty1899, my go to answer for when anyone says "but sunflower toxic!!1!").

The issues that can make sunflower unhealthy and problematic are generally pretty obvious - shared crime, codependency and attachment, commitment and abandonment issues, and the whole "getting together before their friends forgive them" thing (which can still be done well, but from the POV of especially Hero can be kind of eh, and unlikely to be conducive to a healthy relationship given that it kind of depends on their friends' pending "approval".) As a result, there aren't a lot of works that don't address them in one manner or another. However, I do think there is one major pitfall that some fics fall into in the other direction:

Having everything in the relationship be dependent on someone else's approval.

In an attempt to make sunflower as healthy as possible, some authors make it so that Sunny and Basil effectively never make decisions on their own. There's always a third party present to psychoanalyse them, tell them what's fine and what's not, etc. and every step they make in their relationship is with the express blessing, support and help of the rest of their friends. The problem is, that's not healthy either.

I feel that the value of sunflower is greatest in the context of the themes of the game of moving on and forgiveness. Making it so that Sunny and Basil hang on to their guilt forever and robbing them of any "right" to decide for themselves what makes them happy is very much contrary to that - they're on crutches for the rest of their lives, and the point of the good ending is the hope that they won't need to be. It also is just not a good thing for any third party to intervene so extensively in a relationship.

Conclusion

Omori is emotionally deep, with many, many themes to explore. Ships in Omori have unique meanings and themes, which in a canon compliant context is quite hard to simply wipe away. Rushing into a ship with insufficient pacing and development, which works in "cute" fandoms, generally leaves lots of outstanding holes in Omori.

This post doesn't necessarily mean that I think less of any particular ship mentioned - to reiterate, every ship has unique meanings and themes which is interesting to explore and form a part of the message of the game. It is however true that some pitfalls in some ships are easier to fall in, and overlooked, than others, and the obvious problems get a lot more bashing than the non-obvious ones. (Yes, sunflower bias. Sue me.)

And of course, in a plotless or AU context, cute art is cute art.

this is just kind of a big tangent but like I fucking hate when nerd ass losers see a game with even vague similarities to another game and go "ERMMM. HOW ORIGINALL (SARCASTIC). THIS IS JUST ANOTHER GAME IN THE STUPID TREND OF-" and then they list every genre/label under the sun to try and discredit the game as unoriginal by comparing it to other games. 90% of the time they haven't even played the game they're complaining about. they just see pixel art and get angry ig.

like look at this image. look at this and tell me it's not just alphabet soup. what do half of these words even mean. congrats on discovering what a genre is I guess?????????? good for you?????? do you want a fuckin award or something???? a little handclap??? shall I pour you a little glass of wine for being oh so smart and sophisticated for figuring out that Things Can Have Little Similarities Sometimes?????? just say that 7 years later you're still bitter that undertale got popular and leave oh my god "quirky dialogue" oh I'm sorry did you want your dialogue boring and soulless yeah let me just remove the personality from the game. here's your Nothing Burger I hope you're happy. "pixel art" oh so i guess like almost every game that came out in the 80s and 90s is actually just part of a so-called "2010s-2020s trend". These people genuinely think earthbound and celeste are "Basically The Same". it's not even an rpg. You had to throw in platformers in your disgusting word smoothie because otherwise you couldn't even find any real similarities besides "has a story and contains pixels". they think the psychological horror game Omori is just Undertale 2. yeah sorry guys Super Fuckin Mario Brothers is part of the quirky rpg metroidvania fjhksdgjhlkfgsdhkfgh-like diarrhea trend. cant play it now or you're cringe and bad. do you people ever get TIIIRRREEDDDDD.

Reference sheets !

Alright more random info I couldn't fit on there

Nick's sibling is actually Sunny's friend, and the one who introduces Nick to him. Sunny's friend group is just Sunny, Nick's sibling, and one other friend.

Sunny is a demiboy/bigender; Nick is demisexual but has no idea the label even exists.

Nick's first shirt button always being opened is because he feels suffocated really easily, not just because I'm gay. It's kind of his kryptonite.

Literally every single one of Sunny's friends hate Nick. It's kind of a race for who cuts him off from the other first.

They both have very similar mental issues, they just have very different attitudes about it.

Sunny is Nick's first time actually being in love with his partner. He's had previous partners but was never emotionally invested in the relationship aside from extreme possessiveness. He's never dated one of the people he's stalked before.

Nick is Sunny's first partner, period.

Nick is very physically strong ! A lot more than Sunny, at least. Though Sunny has rage in him that could kill someone.

Sunny is constantly, and I mean constantly listening to music. If you start talking to him while he's listening to music, he will kill you. If you are a classmate who isn't a close friend and you try talking to him outside of school, he will also kill you! If you tell him to remove his earmuffs, start running.

Sunny naturally has a resting angry face. To counter that, he's trained himself to smile in public. If you catch him while he thinks no one's looking, he looks like a completely different person.

Nick has almost the exact same thing, except he consciously smiles in an attempt to look friendly, but his smile looks very unnatural and ends up looking creepy instead. (Him being... the way he is also doesn't help.)

Neither Sunny nor Nick have a good grasp on what's considered socially acceptable vs. what's considered creepy. For that reason, Sunny tends to excuse a lot of Nick's creepiness as "everyone thinks like this, it's just that no one says it out loud because it's not socially acceptable".

Nick is an introvert because he hates most people, but he's socially competent and somewhat charismatic. Sunny is an introvert because he is so socially incompetent that talking to people is just more trouble than it's worth.

i have very strong feelings about bisexual + genderfluid sunny and i also strongly believe that aubrey is the first person he comes out to, and the person who helps him make sense of his queerness (post good ending). aubrey is the only girl who sunny's really close with, so when he starts to have thoughts about being a girl, or sort of a girl, he goes to her first. likewise, his gaydar is strong enough to tell there's some kinda spark between aubrey and kim, so he picks her brain about same sex attraction.

there's definitely something noteworthy about how drinking the mystery potion in headspace allows omori to enter the girls' bathroom alone with aubrey, where they discover sunny's idolized version of the feminine: flowers, treasure, festive streamers, graffiti that says YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. sunny is clearly so intrigued by the idea of femininity and gender nonconformity, and he wants aubrey to be the person who takes the first step into that new world with him.

BASIL. I’m sorry but like… He isn’t a scaredy-cat, far from that, actually. He’s braver than SUNNY, he isn’t scared of much. Most of his fears come from feelings such as trusting, abandonment, not stuff like horror, fire, even death, probably. He won’t forgive everyone in the friend group fast, he won’t! Especially someone like AUBREY. The friend group won’t go back together easily, maybe it shatters, maybe it doesn’t. BASIL won’t magically get better post-game either. There needs to be a lot for him to be like that again.

3

I HAVE MULTIPLE.

- The take where BASIL wasn’t concerned about SUNNY and was only concerned for what SUNNY could do for him.

- The take where KEL forgives BASIL and SUNNY instantly.

- The take where AUBREY was punished enough already.

- The take BASIL instantly forgives AUBREY (or forgives her relatively fast).

- The take where BASIL is obsessed with SUNNY and SUNNY is normal.

- The take where BASIL was mentally stable pre-incident.

- The take where BASIL is scared of horror movies.

- The take where BASIL is a “Facebook mom” when it comes to socmed AUs.

OKAY so like.

… There’s a lot of things I hate about fanon. A lot, really. So let’s start with the first one. BASIL isn’t at all a scaredy-cat. He teases SUNNY a lot for things he fears, but at the same time, helps him through it. He acts as a guide to SUNNY, both pre-incident and post-incident. He isn’t scared, he’s brave, he won’t be that scared of dead bodies, gore, blood. And stuff like that. BASIL isn’t just a cute uwu boy, nor is he an unforgivable demon. He is neither of these. He is not “more feminine” than SUNNY either, SUNNY is a lot more feminine, even having a potion where he turns into a girl in his headspace.

He is not obsessed with SUNNY, either. He’s really not. BASIL is understandably scared of leaving, and Sunflower isn’t a codependency, either. BASIL is understandably stressed from the fact that SUNNY is leaving and he’s the only other one who knows the truth of the incident aside from him and he doesn’t want to be the only one in faraway who knows about the incident. He also doesn’t know that they would reveal the truth at some point, which adds to it. BASIL is not the one obsessed with SUNNY, and SUNNY is most definitely not the normal one. One of SUNNY’s only reasonings for coming out of his house is because the desire to save HS!BASIL did carry over to RW!BASIL. KEL is not the only reason SUNNY came out, and he is most certainly not the only one who kept SUNNY alive. SUNNY also do remembers so much about BASIL. His taste in food, his taste in fruits/vegetables, his favorite food, his opinions on smoothies, his photo album. BASIL is “different” from the rest of the friend group because he looks physically different, and their relationship is different as well.

SUNNY doesn’t hate BASIL. SUNNY really doesn’t! He forgives BASIL, even hugging him after he stabbed his eye out. If anything, BASIL would be the one to have emotions like that for SUNNY, but it does have to be pretty repressed.

… Another worst part of Fanon is where BASIL is portrayed as weak, helpless and needs his SUNNY/AUBREY/KEL to stand up for him. He can stand up for himself, really. The thing is with him, is that he thinks that he deserves the mistreatment.

13

BASIL, I guess? I mean he’s my blorbo but at times he’s portrayed as “soft, cute, helpless, weak, and scared” a lot of times. BASIL would not cry in SUNNY’s arms after a horror movie man. He really wouldn’t. If anything, SUNNY would be the one to.

omori spoilers// (death and hanging and stuff yk the drill)

i feel like mari is always dumbed down in the fandom,, like i understand that she didn't get as much character development or chance to show her personality as she only appears in headspace (not including her ghost) but we do know a lot about her from photos, the characters, her ghost, and how sunny perceives her in hs

cute heromari edit? top comments are all jokes like "hahah mari is DEAD his girlfriend is DEAD shes HANGING 6 FEET UNDER" like mari jokes can be funny sometimes but cmon. it's just so shallow to make every mari appearance or smth about her death

and also heromari, it feels like some people only see mari as a plotline for hero angst. or even other character angst. it's always how it affected hero and the others rather than the fact that she was killed at 15, before she got to live out any of her dreams, and how she probably hated herself and her relationship with her and sunnys parents.

i do wish that they fleshed out mari's personality a bit more😓 i understand why they didn't but yk, i think she has a lot of potential but everything anout mari is either her death or about heromariidk what im talking about

I know this has already been said but can people start rebloging more? Liking doesn't do much to a post and reblogs are tumblr's main source of supporting a blog anyways. A post will die quickly if there is no reblogs. So please reblog more, no one cares what you reblog(unless it's something very gross).

The only fandom I've ever been that is open to all ships (ofc not the illegal ones) is Omori, which is pretty refreshing to see since most people debate on which ship is superior or something , most of the ships with sunny or other charcters are pretty healthy and could work in the long term. People supporting each other's opinions makes me happy.

U can tell me if I'm missing anything important/ feel free to disagree or discuss

I don’t ship Sunflower and consider Basil and Sunny’s dynamic to be platonic but if you not only virulently hate the ship but consider it’s fans to be “evil” or “a menace to society” I suggest you leave this blog and never come back with that rude af attitude!

No shipping hate allowed (Or atleast not hating the fans of a ship you dislike) here only respect is allowed buckaroos! Not that I’m saying this abt all ships, so if u have a ship you dislike you better respect other peoples opinions!
