Omori Flower Thingy

Block of text Coming up

So, I really like the game Omori. There is a lot of symbolism in the game and I want to break down the flowers that basil says reminds him of his friend in both their real world and headspace counterparts. (Spoilers for Omori) (Also keep in mind the game this is from. Possibly triggering stuff.)

So as a basic rundown of the game if you have never played it or heard of it, Omori is a game about a kid named Sunny. The game switches between him as Sunny, in the real world, and Him as Omori, in the headspace. All of his friends have a counterpart that he made up in the headspace. We have Basil, Aubrey, Hero, Kel, and Mari. Basil (In both headspace and the real world) is known to grow flowers. When you visit his house for the first time in the game you get shown six plots of flowers, one for every main character. I want to show how, in opinion, these not only represent them in the headspace but the real world.

“Basil: These are sunflowers. They're called that because they always face towards the sun.

That’s how I want to be like… someone who always sees the bright side of things”

Basil In the headspace lives alone from all of the others, with Omori living in white space, Mari on a picnic blanket, and the others in Neighbor’s room. In headspace he is shy, cheery, and empathetic. For most of the game he is missing in the headspace after finding a photo that showed the whole big plot twist we learn towards the end of the game. This leads to the whole story plot of everyone following Omori around to try and find Basil with them slowly losing their memories of him as they go along until only Omori remembers.

In the real world Basil is extremely anxious. He also knows the secret but unlike headspace Basil he didn't just find it out. He has known for 4 years and had to deal with the knowledge alone because Sunny didn’t leave his house for 4 years and made a whole new fucking world in he head. 

Sunflower symbolism can be for loyalty. Sunflowers at funerals show that a person brought people close when they were alive. It can also apparently mean life after death.

~Real World~

Basil is a person who is extremely loyal to sunny. Due to an accident that resulted in the death of Sunny’s sister. Sunny accidently pushed his sister down the stairs in an argument resulting in her death and Basil helped him cover is up by making it look like Mari hung herself. Basil kept this secret even after Sunny locked himself in his house. He even willingly took the blame for things Sunny did, causing him to lose one of the last friends he had while Sunny locked himself away. 

In one of the endings Basil kills himself. I feel like this could result in one of the same ways as Mari, where Sunny hallucinates his dead best friend resulting in a “life after death”.

In one of the routes he is the reason all of his friends rejoin and start to get along? He is the reason his friends are brought together therefore begin someone who brought people together in life 

~Headspace~

In the headspace we don’t get as much time with him due to him being missing most of the game here. I will do my best to prove my point with like the 30 minutes max time he got out of the 21-71 hour game. I would say he is in life after death and brings people together in the way that even when his friend could no longer remember his name they knew that they were looking for someone.  

Loyal is a bit harder here. He does however protect some people who show him kindness despite the fact that he is a pacifist. That's all I got on this point.

And in both worlds they blindly follow the Sunny/Omori even when it hurts them. They follow the sun even after it results in headspace getting killed a shit ton in black space and real world his friends about to keep the secret and protect Sunny.

I always like eating mushrooms till it tastes like im eating mushrooms

Maybe playing with what is basically wax covered sparklers with only a paper cup of water is a bad idea

Update: HOLY SHIT, LET GO (But also, john please, I want a vigilante arc)

I think reading the new chapter of UnOrdinary sent me into fight or flight
