#thats sunny's outlet for his grief Not some fantasies he makes in his mancave™ about the world revolving around him..

[katzehunde]

is it just me or is the "aubrey is reduced to being omori's fangirl" take kinda,, wrong,,, there's only like 2-3 minor scenes where's she's shown to have a crush on omori and her main characteristic is that she's the strong one with the bat and a literal hard head. she's characterised as a normal child other than that. if the headspace characters seem simple then there are explanations for that that don't involve sunny being a jerk or whatever . sunny hasn't seen them in years, he presumably made them up when he was a child himself after mari's death so he made them the same way a child would, without accounting for complex personalities. hero is the caring older friend that cooks, aubrey's the strong one who looks up to mari and has a friendly rivalry with kel, kel's the hyperactive kid with a pet rock, basil's the shy friend who grows plants and takes pictures, and mari's the caring older sister that shows up with a picnic basket when needed, but is safe and unharmed otherwise. the headspace's a happy place where omori goes on adventures with his happy friends and comes back to his living, happy sister when he isn't punishing himself by staying in the white room and stabbing himself in the stomach. literal trauma response, he feels guilty over killing mari so he stays in the white room most days, all alone, rarely spending time with his headspace friends and when he does meet them they're happy to see him and there's nothing wrong and his friends include him in their group even when he stays silent most of the time. he doesn't get 100% closure or comfort from this but it's better than killing himself over and over again in his dreams. he's buried his memories so carefully and his headspace falls apart so quickly despite him trying to avoid everything, all his friends suddenly got jobs under a worker-exploiting shark to distract him from how ugly and wrong the real world was so that he'd bury himself deeper into the headspace and forget the real world exists, with him moving away from his hometown and friends and his house already sold to someone, mari dead, aubrey supposedly a bully and a thug with awful loser friends, and basil picked on and desperate to get his album back from aubrey, and it gets worse and falls apart more quickly as time goes on and the headspace turns into a terrible, unbearable nightmarish place until sunny finally comes to terms with his life.

#omori #omori game #omori sunny #omori aubrey #omori mari #omori kel #omori hero #also idk how to explain this but. the characters see their headspace selves and get mad about how theyre imagined au is so insidious....... #thats sunny's outlet for his grief Not some fantasies he makes in his mancave™ about the world revolving around him.. #if he isnt 'safe' from others in his own mind then whats the point of him being a hikikomori and having a headspace. #this game's really effective at making you feel what it wants you to #come to terms with maris death and get hope that all of you can live a happy life again and have it all fall apart at the seams #when you realise you accidentally killed mari and that basil helped to make it look like a suicide to protect you but that made it WORSE- #-for you. if the truth had been out to your friends from the beginning then you probably wouldnt have suffered as much mentally #its a great game if you understand that its about grief #point flying over audience's head png but the audience's view says 'wow fun headspace! you should invite the friends you cant face irl'
