I don't think you should... 😭😭😭😭
@@BASILFOREVESYES SDO
Gonna take a moment here to say this. I'm a Suntan shipper, and I myself can say that Suntan is not as "healthy" as it is made out to be. It kinda has the same vibe as Sunflower , because both characters are dealing with trauma of the accident, and while Kel doesn't quite have it bad as Basil in that regard, he still is going through shit, especially shit that doesn't involve the accident. He has to deal with Mari's death, plus living in Hero's shadow, feeling incompetent constantly, having smiling depression and not being able to tell people how he really feels for fear of being a burden, anxiety over being a big brother, etc.
Basically what I'm trying to say that Sunny and Kel would help each other a lot. I don't agree with the whole Kel-being-free-therapy thing, but I do believe he would be an amazing shoulder for Sunny to cry on, plus will protect him and make sure he stays healthy, and in return Sunny will provide Kel with someone to vent to when he's feeling upset and a healthy way to release his bottled emotions. They are healthy in this way, not because their ship has no problems or that they will cruise through life shit-free, but because I believe that no matter what happens, they will help each other through it, allow each other to cry in a safe space, and make it out okay in the end.
That is why I ship Suntan. I'm curious to know your thoughts about this? (If you ever actually see this ...)
That's a fair and valid interpretation! Thanks for sharing. Like I said in the video, anything that I ranked low wasn't because it was something terrible. It just didn't scratch the itch in my brain for interesting relationships dynamics like pairings above. I'm glad that the ship has brought you so much happiness. You clearly enjoy the pairing for very earnest and valid feelings
@@NerdyArty Haha, yeah, no I get it. I actually kinda ship Sunflower too, they are pretty cute together, but I have trouble with Basil because I kinda ship him with Sunny, Kel, and Aubrey (although Aubrey the most) at the same time, but like I said I ship Suntan, and I also ship Cotton Candy, so Basil's kinda just left alone ... also, I don't headcanon him as gay, I headcanon him as (get ready for it) a pan-demiromantic asexual. Which ... makes it more difficult. Haha, poor Basil ... But I actually really like Sunflower, I just like Suntan more, but everyone's interpretation of these ships are different so everyone's opinion is valid as long as they're respectful. (Except for the Omori/Sunny shippers and the Hero/Sunny shippers ...)
Right !!
My opinions are the same as yours just Sunny/Basil would be goated with sauce and Kelbrey would be actually obsessed.
SAMEEE
Same
I kinda liked Suntan for the sort of "black cat golden retriever" dynamic it could bring but then it just.... immediately got stale for me, like there's pretty good potential for interactions between sunny and kel that aren't "kel becomes Sunny's unofficial therapist" but they... aren't utilised much (plus I'm... not too fond of that scenario anyway because for the love of god Kel already has so much sh*t bottled that isn't discussed in a fair bit of fan content surrounding him, like he's kinda just been flanderized for a while to have a lot less depth than he did in the game) so while Suntan is pretty "wholesome", it just feels kinda repetitive.
I didnt even know cactiflower was a ship for a while because most of the ships that got attention in the fandom for a while were Sunny X ___ so when i found out it was a thing i just latched onto it like a f*cking deer tick💀
Honestly I'm glad I ain't the only one that think a lot of the time suntan shippers they can start depicting kel and a at home therapist for sunny and diminish the trauma and problems he's characterise to have for the sake of a "wholesome" ship
I don't mind suntan actually, and I actually find the dynamic cute as well but I don't get the take that the ship has to be wholesome and both characters can't be traumatised and stay together and be eachothers pillar of support rather than solely one helping the other
The way you described Cactiflower is exactly why I have brainrot for it; it’s a way to have two characters from the group to properly interact between Mari’s death and the rw segments of the game. Kel and Aubrey would fight and Aubrey would either ignore or pick on Basil, so trying to get them to get along is hard. This is why I like Kel and Basil so much, along with the similarities between their two characters. Both of them struggle with hiding their feelings behind positivity. They avoid relying on others. They don’t want to think about the past, but are constantly reminded of it through Aubrey. They’re both close to Sunny, but in different ways, but both equally important to the plot. I prefer Cactiflower over Sunny/Kel/Basil because while there’s assumptions that can be made between the past and present in the game, really anything could have happened between them, which is where I like writing and thinking about them the most.
My own headcanons affect how I think about this period, but I like to think about Basil and Kel finally talking again about a year after the accident right around when Hero starts to feel better about things and getting overly focused with school, leaving Kel to feel more isolated. I additionally make his parents more distant to add onto the angst factor as well, so Kel feels pressured to reach out to Basil for comfort and familiarity. Kel is a very sociable and somewhat oblivious person, but losing his friend group would make it hard to move on to complete strangers immediately. Basil, on the other hand, is generally just really scared about things. He doesn’t want the truth to come out, and how Omori talks to Sunny during their fight, is how I imagine Basil is with himself. He doesn’t quite want to die because he still holds onto hope of Sunny coming back and things being fixed again, so he’s very complacent and just lets Kel do what he wants with him (not in a bad/manipulative way). He just isn’t very interested in him initially and mostly hangs out with him to get Aubrey off his back, but overtime, Basil warms up to him, having his initial role with Sunny swap; Basil used to vent and talk to Sunny, but with his new guilt, he doesn’t want to accidentally let anything slip, so he lets Kel get out whatever he needs to. I like the idea of them becoming codependent after enough time, with Kel needing emotional comfort and Basil needing physical comfort. Because of the story, I imagine Kel would move on eventually, but with how he responds to Basil saying “when we used to be friends”, saying “we’re still friends”, he still cares about him. I don’t know if they’d work longer term, but their personalities are similar and they’re both very sweet, which can be really cute.
I really really like sunflower in theory because of how close Sunny and Basil were, but it is so hard to write them being together due to how quiet Sunny is. When they’re younger, it works better, because Basil is more sociable despite being a bit anxious, but after their fight and Mari’s death, it’s shown he’s more inhibited and depressed for obvious reasons. Basil gives a vibe of being very emotional, but hiding a lot of his feelings, similar to Sunny, shown by him having three tiers of emotion in the console version. After the good ending I’m sure they’d become more open to each other, which is where my enjoyment of sunflower is. It’s just with all the other reasons why I like cactiflower more. Kel and Basil have very different and strong interests and contrast each other while having similarities which makes them a lot more interesting to me. It’s easy to imagine Kel embarrassing Basil, or having the opposite where Basil is anxious and Kel speaks up for him. I agree with you that I like the possible toxicity of sunflower, but while you say cactiflower is the better version of suntan, I think cactiflower is the better version of sunflower.
With all this being said I had the dominating cactiflower fanfic for like a year so I’m really biased lmao
Ok, I need to get a read on that Cactiflower Fanfic, because THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE!! JUST YES!!
This like perfectly describes why Cactiflower is like my favorite Omori ship. Just thinking about their interactions, and how well they both would work together just makes my day. After all, A lot could've happened between the 4 year gap of The Incident and The Events of Omori.
(Along with some other tertiary elements for me, like how Kel would also always want Basil to take pictures of him aswell, and took a picture with his camera that one time Basil went to the bathroom. The photo where Basil was admiring Kel by saying he wished he was as confident as him. The part during Three Days left where Kel tells Basil that they will always be friends. It's shit like that just melts my brain 😊.)
I absolutely agree about suntan but my jaw still actually dropped
WATCHING YOU PUT SOME OF MY FAVORITE RAREPAIRS IN MEH AND THEN GO "actually no boring" WAS SOUL SHATTERING
(if you wanna see my chats i was underwaterdemise, my old channel name 4 my alt)
edit: AND THEN YOU SAY "the only reason this one is here is bc someone recommended it" THAT WAS ME
As a Sunburn junkie i honestly find the ship much better if you leave out all the dumb steriotypes like the emoboy and punk girl thing because they’re way more than just those things, i like to see them actually grow up an mature before getting into a relationship, I seriously doubt any relationship would work out straight after the good ending so that time to mature and heal will be had.
I just find Sunburn less obnoxious than the others because of how subtle their interactions were, we have some moments on the swings that Sunny no doubt treasures as well and Aubrey always wanting Sunny to take things slow and reflect on himself (as stated in the Omocat interview in the artbook.)
I also look at what they did in game, both making a mistake in a spur of the moment action that they immediately regret (Sunny pushing Mari and Aubrey pushing Basil). Something about being on the same boat makes me like the idea of the consoling each other and relating to each other in a way as well as them trying to overcome that part of themselves together and stuff, it makes the relationship feel rewarding after pushing through everything the game throws at them.
I never really cared about the quirky other ships or going hard on Aubrey’s Punk aesthetic or Sunny’s emo aesthetic because I want my ship to have actual substance, a ship where they’re actual people instead of playing out a specific stereotype couple.
Overall Sunburn is one I feel needs that extra effort other than hinging entirely on one aspect like some of these other ships.
Thank you!!!
also i feel like sunny doesn’t have an emo sort of aesthetic he enjoys cutesy and colorful things
I think this is interesting since while I’m not the hugest sunburn shipper (I prefer other ships) I do like cute ship comics or stories about them whether the stories flesh them out or it’s just cute moments between them based off how they act. I kinda like both simplistic and in depth romance stories
Although I prefer sunflower, I can see sunburn being a nice ship
@@dashw I do think sunburn is a neat ship but I highly doubt it has to do with their sexuality. Most people in the community ship hero and mari after all so I think the issue lies in certain people not liking Aubrey. For me at least I’ve seen a lot of people dislike Aubrey as a character due to her behavior in the game which causes others to not ship her with other characters. As for the sunflower thing I do agree that basil is a bit too obsessed but I don’t think people who ship them see all his behaviors as healthy as I’ve noticed some ship stories usually take place after Sunny moves and they get better as people. And while basil had a habit to think Sunny could do no wrong they still clearly cared about each other a lot which is why I think that’s why people mainly shipped the two, a long with them having a lot of history together (like basil likes to talk to him when he needs a listening ear and Sunny being happy to hear him out). To be honest all the ships in Omori aren’t 100% healthy (other than hero and mari) but I don’t think that deters it from being a bad ship all couples have their own flaws but it’s not like those flaws can’t be dealt with
Never have I found a take I disagreed with more based than when you threw suntan directly into "boring". Like damn you just spit in my cereal with such confidence I have no choice but to respect it.
To me I see sunflower as a comfort and very cute ship if you can see it. Hero and Mari a yes. It's cannon by now bc we all know the reason.
No need to say. But with sunflower too with them being partners I can see if something going wrong for one of them the other would try in any way possible to calm down the other partner. Which would be adorable to see.
And for awhile now a Sunflower ship mod named "Senesce" would be coming out, just please come out already. I've been waing for so long. Anyway, yeah. THAT'S All.
what mod? it's a part of a game? :o
just my opinion for suntan i think that sunny and kel would just have crying sessions together- 😭 edit: OH AND THEN AFTER JUST CUDDLING AND MAYBE TALKING ABT IT💞💞🫂
*Steals your headcanon cutely 👉👈*
The suntan opinion killed me
Your cosplays were so cute ☺️ I was Headspace Basil at my last con and it was so much fun. I hope one day I’ll have someone that’ll be my Omori or Sunny haha
how to torture nerdy:
step 1: commission her art of sunburn
ON IT BOSS!! 😐😐😐🪖🪖🪖
I explain finding suntan boring as in the words of sarcastic chorus “greedy drama whore.” And as much as I love a good perfectly happy ship I need drama otherwise I’m starved😭😭🤯
yes I am happy. the space jam sandwich slander was upsetting, to say the least :/ one day I'll write my 10k oneshot and convert people to my stupid crack ship...
14:07 same, i totally agree- I see them as sibling best friends y'know? Also with the Mari and Hero thing it's kinda weird 😭😭👍✨
11:37 “Orange man” Lmao-
Kel x Basil x Aubrey is the bad ending but with solar system right before it.
This videos wild.
I think It agrees with 3 opinions from your video. Not a real problem but Solar System is cheathing I agree
@@spopovichancheio891Polyamory Isn’t Cheating?
bro this is literally how i feel about suntan 😭its cool if you like the ship but i want drama and angst and fucked up scenarios where nobody has a good time AS WELL as the happy and fluffy parts and suntan just feels so boring compared to other ships like sunflower and kelbrey lol
"good ship but Fanon happened :("
@@Nativah._. exactly, that and the whole "it's the healthiest ship!!" No it's not they all need therapy because they all have some unresolved problems that should probably be discussed with a medical professional
@@OMORI_BRAINR0TI think what people mean by healthiest ship is relative not of all time
@@pumpkinwarrior7138 yeah but they all need therapy, I believe not one ship is truly the "healthiest"
@@OMORI_BRAINR0TI get what you mean about suntan It's not the most interesting ship but Kel is very important to Sunny because if Kel wasn't there to tell Sunny to come out of his house Sunny would never come out because he has no reason to come out of his house and in my opinion Kel is Sunny's shining hope because he wanted to see his old friend after 4 years
spaceheart is very strange imo. at this point it isnt even them hating each other sweetheart is literally just an abuser
ok live reactions (long ass comment incoming be warned)
I appreciate your feelings on sunflower, I think it's the one that gets the best fan content because of that potential! I never really considered using Stranger in the ships, but I can see exactly what you mean.
On behalf of the kim fandom i accept your criticism, honestly her fanon version is what i tend to vibe with because canon does kind of give us nothing... it also doesn't really give us a resolution or insight into any of her flaws so a lot of people seem to dislike her because of that. i totally get it.
Heromari I like for the exact reasons you say. They're a perfect couple if you know very very very little about the game, but their unfortunate circumstances only reveal how much they need each other, until... yeah. It's really interesting!
Yeah I never knew the bread twins existed until my second playthrough so i couldn't care less for them LOL.
I'm NOT a photobomb fan mostly because of the canon events and I think whatever people see in kim and basil fails to work in the same way.
Kelbrey is so cute! The way their bickering was always present even when they were all besties and when it comes back it means they're comfortable around each other again and oo there's so much cool stuff that can go on with that i LOVE
again, i know nothing about the bread twins nor do i really care to
cactiflower is really nice!!! I imagine Kel didn't really have favorites when they were all kids but after he sees how much Basil needs someone he obviously feels the need to be that person but eventually they just get close in general and they both feel loved and it's a very good concept i haven't seen much of
yeah, i don't think photobomb works on its own. not sure what you mean about the poly ships being better but already i can kinda see it.
"this is the only omori ship i have muted on twitter" aaaaaaa harsh but i guess that's fair! ok now that you're going deeper into it i TOTALLY get it. people ignore a lot of kel's character by putting him with sunny, and sometimes they don't and it's great! but i definitely can imagine why you think that.
yeah i love the character design on mincy and cris and i think that's cute, not much else to say
Sunburn is something i'm neutral to. I like your point on preferring them as a platonic pairing, i actually feel exactly the same way about photobomb which i ADORE platonically.
yeah I don't think maverick deserves any of the fandom attention he gets i don't really care about him lol. never heard of kel and cris, i guess it makes sense since it's the only time a side character interacts with someone other than sunny. still boring.
omg you're so right spaceheart is my favorite divorced couple, an absolute trashfire that could go no other way
spacoco (made that up on the spot) is fine, idk anything about rococo but he seems good for spaceboy which makes it an okay enough ship.
rococo is literally in jail for being in a boring ship with sweetheart.
I don't like the dream polycule, hero straight up wants nothing to do with sweetheart so i can't see it being good. sorry nerdy arty's girlfriend.
THE SHIP NAME IS SUNKISSED? HELL YEAH I LOVE THAT! Yes they're so cute together, aesthetically, emotionally, the way they all complete each other, it's lovely, it's so lovely.
Burnt Sunflower is fine it just doesn't resonate with me. I'd love to see someone make it interesting, but I haven't.
My brain hurts trying to figure out the dynamic on those triplets (I just personally don't know what any poly relationship looks like lmao) but yeah it doesn't feel satisfying is all i feel about it.
Despite that last note, I DO love Solar System! They all really do love and need each other. I love the way you described it. Queerplatonic photobomb really is a neat idea especially in this context where they're all together.
AND YES!!! THANK YOU!!! OMORI FANDOM _GET BETTER MATERIAL!!!!_ STOP WITH THE KEL MEME CANON BURGER WHATEVER *PLEASE.* ok that's out of my system. Great video!
6:33 PLEASE DO THAT 😭 IDC I WANT MORE ANALYSIS STUFF FROM YOU I LOVE YOUR WORK, I LOVE SUNFLOWER AND I LOVE ANALYSIS STUFF
(of course, only if you really want to share your brainrot of those lil gay people, I would rather skin myself alive than to make my artists feel like they "have" to do anything. You can literally do anything and I would still eat it like the finest chocolate ever. Hugs 🫂🫂)
YEAH ME TOO!!! I WOULD LOVE SEE A BASIL X KEL ANALYSIS VIDEO. OR AUBREY X KEL 😭
11:17 OH MY GOD YES!!! KELBREY IS SO GOOOD this ship is so underapriciated
IDK WHY BUT EVERYTIME I SEE SOMEONE LOVING KELBREY MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND LIKE IDK EVERYTIME WHEN I SEE VIDEOS LIKE THAT I GET SUPER HAPPY WHEN KELBREY IS ONE OF THE GOOD SHIPS IN TIAERLIST THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPYYYYY(im the most sane kelbrey shipper, fr)
I am such an Aubrey Lesbian truther, but kelbrey is so cute man. I don’t know man, it’s hard to pick kimbrey or kelbrey.
Just Hc Kel As Transfem Maybe? Idk
I feel your pain but with different ships
sunny x omori= dating yourself
sweetheart moment
Most of the ship's I can agree on but kel X Sunny should be higher (I am not a shipper) because seeing this from a story perspective Kel is Sunny's shining hope Sunny would never left his house if it weren't for Kel that's just my opinion
i think i disagree on cactiflower because to me it seemed like kel and basil interacted the least. i think they were never too close and imo they never really understood each other. i think both of them were always much closer to sunny and aubrey than to each other tbh
Um… we do not share the same opinion about Suntan, and THAT’S OK. IT’S JUST AN OPINION.
Unpopular opinion:
Your take on sunburn is how I feel about sunflower. I just feel like it would be one-sided, where Basil likes Sunny but Sunny just thinks of him as a really close friend. Like don’t get me wrong- I love sunflower. But I just feel like it would be more likely to be one-sided. I feel like there’s no world where Basil didn’t have a crush on Sunny at some point, and the sunburn memory makes me think that it would be Basil’s main moment of realization that the feelings aren’t returned. Idk and I know that the sunflower shippers are coming after me but like- it’s still one-sided in my mind.
Also cactiflower is my favorite ship- there’s just something about those two that makes my brain happy =D
Sunny and Basil are stated through Basil's exposition to be close friends as children. There are small environmental clues that hint at some level of comfortableness and reciprocation from Sunny. For example, the Sprout Mole Villages imply that Sunny knows how to cook tofu (Basil's favorite food) despite it being his least favorite food (its the only joke healing item besides rotten milk). He remembers the recipe for Basil's birthday cake. Basil's house is the only RW mirror that Sunny looks and his mattress is the only one Sunny thinks is as comfortable as his own, which could imply that he often had sleepovers at Basil's house. There are also a lot of little environmental and gameplay details in Headspace that can be read as general bi-coding. But without direct exposition or a cutscene, we don't know for sure what present-day Sunny's exact feelings towards RW Basil are. The nareative shows that thry are trauma triggers fir eachother, and BlackSpace implies that Sunny has some amount of unprocessed resentment towards Basil, yet he still cares enough to rush to his bedroom to stop Basil from commiting suicide
A singular tear rolled down my face 😭 14:07
As a suntan breather[i can manage but u still need it] (and a cactiflower liver [i cannot exist without it]) I recommend a suntan fanfic that gives the depth to kel. (like i mean it makes us realise that he isnt free therapy and has troubles on his own) its Bask in the sun on Ao3 its really good! Good comedy, angst, comfort, more perspective(OC TOO OMG OMG)
Ships:
Suntan(sunny x Kel)
Oc x Basil
Hero x Mari (dead already so actually no one with Hero…. Okay maybe theres a lil oc thing in it but its not clear it up to discussion AND OMG I LOVE THAT)
Kim x Aubrey
Ect…
ITS REALLY GOOD GO READ ITTTTTTT RAHAHHHHAHAGA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Okayyy 🤩
BASED AS HELL SUNBURN BORING AND HETEROSEXUAL AS HELL!!!!!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT IT MAKES AUBREY SO FUCKING BORING it's so much more interesting when it's "Aubrey has a crush on Sunny and he feels like he's incapable of saying no after everything he's done and so he tries to force himself to reciprocate" or "Sunny has a one-sided crush on Aubrey and it's hilarious"
leaving aside that Basil and Aubrey are gay, I think Photobomb could be S tier if anyone bothered to go the heartbreaking, awful, miserable route of "we're two people who have horribly hurt each other who are now going from very tentative friends to very tentative partners and dealing with all the landmines within" -- like, the idea of Aubrey realizing Basil always flinches when she goes to hug him because she used to beat him up?? or Basil making a joke abt Aubrey's hair and her instinctively snapping at him before apologizing??? the most minor disagreements possibly triggering both of them into massive arguments???? GOD it's so painful and good but 99% of the time I see it I just see people going "bully/victim ship!!!" w/o any of the possible depth that would make me scream and cry and puke
also as the local "latches onto characters with 3 and a half lines" guy I fucking love the Bread Twins and Maverick, sorry I want to rant but I promise you do not have to read this or agree with me, I am just fucking talking
first of all I have to say it: as a certified autistic person I think Bowen and Daphne are autistic, but they're both in a town that accommodates them well enough that they can both pass as relatively neurotypical. my literal only evidence is that they're both very stone-faced in their fight even when they become clinically depressed, and that Bowen only talks in weird sounds that Daphne interprets. it's the Phineas and Ferb sibling dynamic y'know
anyway I think that Sunny befriending Bowen and Daphne is S tier and SLEPT ON, really weird and bad as a romantic ship but like??? the bread twins are slowly growing distant from their younger sibling whom they adore and Sunny lost his older sister whom he adored, and he seems perfectly willing to play hide and seek with them, I think that the bread twins should adopt him as their surrogate younger sibling and play hide and seek with him every weekend.
I like Kel/Maverick more than Hero/Bowen b/c they actually have a lot of similarities -- both of them are younger siblings with at least 1 older sibling who's more accomplished in the eyes of their parents and are both kinda silly weirdos. also they at least have an established dynamic of being goofy over-the-top one-sided rivals which is a really funny foundation to a pairing
Bowen/Hero meanwhile is more interesting to me than Daphne/Hero b/c you have Hero grappling w/ his sudden bisexual crisis, I personally h/c Hero as trans so I think the realization that he's bi is less of a world-shaking thing and more of a realization that now, he has one more thing that makes him unsafe in the wider world outside of his hometown. He knows already that anyone who isn't 100% Cis And Straight is treated like shit, and if he wants to date a guy and also not be in a community with like 10 families in it forever, he's gonna face some shit that he wouldn't otherwise. I also think they have a lot of things in common, mainly both being the overaccomplished older sibling, but there's some interesting strengths/weaknesses there too -- Bowen is growing apart from his younger sibling while Hero is very close with his, and Hero is struggling to cope with the burden of parental expectations VS what HE wants to do while Bowen seems to have largely made peace with it.
Obviously Bowen and Daphne are basically non-characters and the Maverick is barely a step up but I really like projecting onto them, I think your reasoning for not liking them is completely valid and actually super true I just have a sickness in the brain
Meh, there’s nothing wrong with a boring ship from time to time 😏🤷♂️. Need to offset the trauma with mild stuff somehow 😅.
15:25 another agree! On TH-cam I find some very cute things and not much people I see talk about KEL being “free therapy” like yes, he’s a goofy ball of sunshine and having an energetic bean to talk to would def be good for sunny KEL has a lot of depth too and indeed therapy would help him too.😭 I love the ship, but as you said people depict it wrong. So I would have it in between goatee with the sauce and buffer, a mini section for: this could’ve been Brian rot.
17:11 (I’m sorry for all the comments by the way it’s just ships are liek my go to in any fandom I love them sm) ok sun burn, (last thing I’m commenting these before finishing watching your opinion on the ships I’m talking about) sunburn. I don’t hate it, quiet calm + angry and wild? That’s cool. Their dynamic is good in my opinion, simply good. Thinking about their actual characters I think pre-trauma sunburn would work! In the scene where Aubrey talks about her fav color being pink and then basil takes a photo sunny asks to see it. Then basil says something liek “every time I take a photo of Aubrey you ask to see it…. Do I maybe…sense a little crush?” Implying sunny could’ve had a crush on her. Then in headspace Aubrey seems pretty fond of Omori, I haven’t seen many headspace clips for a while so I kinda forgot but in this video called Omori boy demo (basically Omori but it’s Omori boy, the older version) Aubrey acts as if she has a crush on Omori. I can’t remember fully but in current headspace I think it’s liek that too? Sunny def had a crush on her and when dreaming tried to make that a reality form my guess. It also seemed past Aubrey was trying to impress sunny, so there it goes. Pre trauma sunburn was cute, but Aubrey changed to much. Even after I don’t think she’d fully forgive sunny or basil, so it wouldn’t be possible. (She would give them a second chance though.) kinda sad about that though. Sunny having/had a crush on Aubrey is adorable.
Edit: just watched some of your opinion. Realized half of what I said agrees. I like one sided sunburn a lot but in a universe where Aubrey DID have a crush on sunny back some of what I said would fit too. Ok here I have a condlusion: Aubrey liked sunny sunny liked her too. The few years after the incident she changed a lot and most likely lost those feelings. At one point after the good ending sunny would most likely admit to having HAD a crush and then the simple sentence (and I wanna make an edit with this song now): “I wish I knew you wanted me” fits all to well.
8:07 I’m insulted.
(My first actual fanfic posted to AO3 is a Kimbrey fic. I’m great at interpreting things because of the main fandom I’m in and it being so fucking vague with the details, the headcanons and works are amazing)
Based af tier list, I also wouldn't mind another sunflower analysis lol! 🫡
i like photobomb even though i also hc basil as gay, but in that scenario i also like to headcanon aubrey as transmasc
ur so real for sunflower tho, will always be my fav too
The fact that there's a wikipage for "sunmari" is absolutely insane to me. Some monsters are actually shipping a brother with a sister whom he pushed down the stairs, broke her neck and hung her from the backyard tree.
no no bc i kinda agree with the sunkel/suntan honestly :,3 its really cute if shipped right but its just kinda boring imo im really agreeing so far with the tierlist omg ALSO YOUR STREAM SET UPIS SO SILLY /POS
made t to the end and i 100 agree >:33333
I respect the view on suntan, but im still going to judge you just a *tad* bit, it just has a special place in my heart. (but seriously i prefer more platonic takes on suntan and also how its a bit more stable then sunflower 😭)
I like instability
@@NerdyArty tbh you do you girl, i can only support sunflower if they get together after they get therapy (i dont wanna see basil/sunny x stairs)
@@YourAverageLoser763 ngl he idea of pairing Sunny off with Kel being stable is something that gives me the ick. I explain it better than I did here in my Kel vid lol
@@NerdyArty ahh fair i see your point, to be fair tho every single one of these kids need therapy making all of their ships just that *bit* of unstableness, i just see them as a paring that would work more then the rest (maybe only beat by dandelion cause that ship is just plain good)
Real tbh
A depressing crackship I saw was hellmari and Hero. Imagine hero desperately trying to love and be with whatever fragments of Mari remain, no matter how twisted.
Or maybe I’m just salty over the door jumpscare she gives you. She was supposed to do it TWICE! (Thank god the second one was unused)
GAH I LOVE RESPECTING PEOPLES OPINIONS BUT I LOVE PHOTOBOMB SM 💙💙💙 I GET SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM you are so right about heromari tho
REAL PHOTOBOMB IS BRAINROT
HOW DARE YOU. HOW *DARE* YOU PUT SUNTAN IN BORING?! /j THEY ARE THE BEST AND READ MORE IF U WANNA SEE ME RAMBLE ABT HOW GOOD THEY ARE BC I LOVE THEM
okay so, they are literally the sun and moon/ black cat and golden retriever. and i definitely agree that kel definitely needs therapy too but i feel like they can help eachother. and like- theyre kinda made for eachother, like CMON, one of them has an older brother, the other has an older sister, one has a dog, the other has a cat, one has both parents, the other has none **vine boom** (sry not sry) one is loud and happy and puts others first while actually dying inside but not realizing hes dying inside, and the other is quiet and closed in while also dying inside and very well knowing hes dying inside but cant really do nothing about it bc he cant talk abt it, which brings us to the next part; kel would be very forgiving to sunny when/if he hears that sunny killed his sister. i think he would definitely be upset but he would also probably keep it inside which would be discovered by sunny later on. (pls make a fanfic abt this or imma do a oyasumi) he would also understand sunny and the guilt and grief hes going through bc he also has an older brother and im sure he couldnt even imagine killing him, i think he would try and make sunny come out of his shell by being kel and i think sunny could help him reveal that he is in fact sad and broken which is also shown by how kel told sunny and only sunny what happened w/ hero. kel could help sunny by dragging him out like he did in the game, and wouldnt stop knocking on his door until he came out or let him in like he did in the game and would be there for him even if sunny doesnt want him to be. and sunny could help him by listening to him, letting him in and spending quality time w/ him. i really believe they could help each other. AND NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND!!!
edit: also w/ sunflower and baseball bat i honestly think theyre just friends. i definitely believe basil is gay tho, but i also believe that aubrey is a lesbian. and i definitely think basil has/had a crush on sunny but i think it was a crush when they were kids but later on it became more of an unhealthy obsession that was mistaken as a crush and i think it would be the best for both of them to actually realize that bc i actually think they are very cute as best friends. and for aubrey and kel i think theyve never had any romantic feelings for each other or i have not seen one. i think they have more of a siblingy relationship and it also kind of adds to the opposite but the same thing i mensioned bc they both sunny and kel have best friends that are the opposite of each other and also both of their best friends are gay
Realll. Also a few more ways that Kel and Sunny are opposites:
Kel is the darkest, while Sunny is the palest
Sunny represents the very first stage of grief (Denial), while Kel represents the very last stage of grief (Acceptance)
Anyways that's all I can think of atm 🥲
Ain’t nobody reading all of that 😭
@@Queenalfa995 I just like to yap abt my fave ships lol I don't expect anyone to
11:42 nahh, just an opinion but aroace Kel.
Imagine sunflower but, they just can't be entirely happy until that moment where they both get therapy together.
(Or Sunny just moves in with Basil instead of moving away, I guess? IDK I might be weird and stuff because I kind of just create stories in my head when I'm trying to sleep so I can visualize it, and that specific one where Sunny just moves into Basil's house and becomes his roommate instead *_fighting to the death with Basil_* is just so "🤩" for me, and I don't know why I think this would happen! By the way if you want further context, I could make a reply to this if it gets a reply asking for it!)
Literally right after im done watching the vod this comrs out
i agree with everything on this except for the sunburn and gay basil stuff bc aloe vera (burnt sunflower as u called it) is my fav ship by FAR but honestly the sunflower stuff is so real.
Hahahahaha that buffer tier is awesome, I love that. I need to start doing that in my tier lists.
I suppose I can respect your decision with the shadow realm - no such thing as a thought crime.
Sunflower is 💚🤍💚.
I think Hero x a bread twin can be neat. There's their shared love of baking, of course. Hero actually worked at the bakery when he was 15 as well, to help save up for Sunny's violin, so they probably worked together too. There's also, of course, the heavy parental expectations as well. Mari had this too, so she understood Hero - and she also knew exactly how to push his buttons to get him to come out of Safe Mode where he just acts how everyone wants him to be, and get him to be himself. She was weird and gross and perfect for him. It'd be hard for either of the bread twins to live up to this, but maybe they could try a different approach.
For Daphne & Mari (Breadbasket)... once again, they would've met when Mari worked at the bakery. Honestly thinking about it more, just a better version of the previous one. Mari would be able to do the same thing she did with Hero with Mari.
I like sunburn but I also really like your opinion on it.
I was about to talk about how you didn't add Basil x The Maverick and then you created it just to add it to "boring" lmao. Hehehe. I think it's a really funny ship it's like Krerdly.
I’m a HARD sunflower shipper but when I saw the suntan ship….I mean it could have been a bit higher like I personally don’t ship it bc I see kel as aroace but I would put it in the meh section bc the dynamic and I do see your reasoning and I kinda agree with your opinions (but honestly the suicide duo is always my fav)
my favorite ship is the titanic but these are pretty cool too!
HOT TAKE THAT NOT ONLY IS SUNTAN OVER RATED BUT ITS ALSO KINDA TOXIC-
waitwaitwait no dont kill me put the pitchforks away let me explain
So like Nerdy said, People view suntan as free therapy, even though Kel has gone through the same shit and isn't able to provide the mental support Sunny needs and I feel like Sunny would end up relying on Kel, bringing him down and causing him to feel responsible about his emotions, and that's just not fun, as someone who's been in that kind of relationship.
Ok, now that I've explained have your way with me as long as you understand this is an OPINION, and that toxic ships can be fun and I acknowledge that!
I'm a Suntan shipper, but I agree with this tbh!
Kel and Basil weirdly compliment eachother as far as their relationships to Sunny goes. They compliment him in opposite but fitting ways. Omocat has stated that Kel "was made for Sunny" while Basil is visibly queer-coded and is implied to have had a childhood crushon Sunny (turned obsessive/toxic by trauma).
Something that Kel has over everyone else in the friend group (including Basil) is that he was the only one who got Sunny to leave his house. He literally and metaphorically saved Sunny's life.
The Hikikomori implies that Basil tried multiple times to reach out to Sunny but he eventually gave up. (Otherwise he would have known about the For Sale sign.) Kel is stated to have regularly called and knocked on Sunny's door for almost 4 years. The surprise and relief when Sunny actually answers is very telling of how vulnerable Kel was being, risking rejection to spend time with his best friend.
Basil and Kel are both able to get Sunny out of his comfort zone but at different paces. Sunny generally prefers when others take the lead. Kel is able to get Sunny outside exploring Faraway Town in a matter of hours/days. Basil is more subtle, introducing Sunny to new books and interests but it takes a while for him to reciprocate.
Kel and Basil are both protective in different ways. Basil protects Sunny by being his fall-guy/secret keeper. Kel protects him physically even if it means running into danger, like taking away the knife or distracting/taking hits for Sunny in the Aubrey and Hooligan fights.
While Basil and Sunny are implied to have had a close friendship before the incident, and Basil is coded as having a puppy crush, Basil and Sunny are now trauma triggers for eachother. The second half of BlackSpace is Sunny/Omori brutally killing Basil in an attempt to supress the Truth. These are Sunny's raw, messy, unfiltered thoughts. It is not unreasonable to infer that Sunny has some degree of unprocessed anger/mixed feelings towards Basil for hanging Mari and, in hindsight, making the incident even worse.
Kel has no direct ties to the Incident beyond Sunny's guilt over abandoning and lying to him. Sunny needed a close and persistant friend that wasn't tied to the incident to actually take the first steps towards healing. Basil/Stranger is Sunny's guide in Headspace to confronting the truth, Kel is Sunny's guide in the physical world to reconnecting with reality and his old friends.
YAYYYYYYY A NEW VIDEO !!!!! ive been stalking you for about like 2-3 weeks now and i loves you :3 (/p :3) SUNFLOWER BRAINROTTTT !!
I'm gonna get looks for this because only like 3 people know this is even a pair, but my favorite little ship that's not with the main guys is Letter room Aubrey and Stranger, extra bonus points if it has Shattered Omori.
I don't have a reason honestly, they never really interact, but think about it. Shattered Omori wants people, specifically Sunny, who he seems to be drawn towards. Stranger is probably lonely, constantly trying to get Sunny to listen and getting ignored every time. Letter room Aubrey is obsessed over Sunny, who made her to like him because of a silly little childhood crush that's since faded. I think the fact that they're 3 lonely little guys trying to get to the one person who stays away from them is something they can share, and be there for eachother through, just makes it my personal comfort ship. United not through trauma, but being forgotten. Makes me sad how little people talk about the pairing. Shutterbomb is kinda popular in a very niche way, but specifically this one with Shattered Omori is very underrated. Black Space Burnt Sunflower!! 3 very underrated characters loving each other in a very underrated ship.
I love suntan but I lowkey agree. Suntan needs more angst and more fan creations where Kel isn't just free therapy, I want them both cuddling in silence maybe some crying. Kel is also fucked up man making him the free therapy role in the ship is literally just making it worse
Sunflower is the cutest but 10000000000000000% times better after they get THERAPY. I love sunflower, i binge all the APPROPRIATE fanfics abiut them. I hate smut though, its hella weird for them in my opinion.
Stranger and omori, its okay, reninds me of enemies to lovers, idk why.
And headspace sunflower is cute too, like little childhood crushes
Nice :D
I ship Solar System in a platonic way tbh. Also I agree with you on the poly thing
omg I FR didn't know so many ships like Kel x the Mavric was so common
And also
SUNNFOLWER IS ABSOLUTE BRAIN ROT
I adore Suntan but, honestly, go off. It's hard to find anything that isn't just 'Kel being Sunny's therapist' which is super boring to me. Make them both complex characters in their own right! I don't mind some fluffiness here and there but sometimes you just need some drama to spice it up.
But honestly, polycule ships? We need more of it. I'm a sucker for Sunburntanflower, because I think occasionally that Sunny has so much bi energy that he manages to pull three of his friends. He deserves it though.
i dare you to rate sunny x therapy
i propose an idea, sapphic sunburn. trans fem sunny for the win
i would put every sweetheart ship in f tier,because its sweetheart,unless its sweetheartxkel nuke now that goated with the sauce(unless we count crack ships because i have one in mind)
Polly and Hero is my favorite
Meh, I don’t mind the boring looking ships 😏🤷♂️. After all the sad stuff in the game, it wouldn’t hurt to have some mild stuff to offset the sadness and trauma. Like how all the simple interactions between the characters suddenly feel like a miracle compared to all the depression in Sunny’s head.
And let’s face it, people only ship Kim with Aubrey and Basil with Sunny or Kel mainly because of how gay they look 😂. Consider yourself lucky that Honeysuckle (Basil✖️Kim) is pretty obscure in the fandom.
Opinions on stranger ships with other headspace characters like spaceboy?
I really expected you to put Sunset in the shadowrealm
literally everything made me squeal except cotton candy (kimbrey)
ESPECIALLY SUNTAN, EVERYONE LOVES SUNTAN EXCEPT US
aaaaaaaa finally a normal tierlist that isnt full of jokes
YAAAAYYYYY!! Sunflower ❤️❤️
I smacked my phone in the wall when i saw that she placed sunny x aubrey in boring section. Like dude. It's canon
Just bc it's canon doesn't mean it's good
cry me a river
@@connoryippeExactly
DAMN. YOU AND I HAVE THE EXACT SAME OPINIONS WHAT-- 😱😱😨😨
Sunny's feelings for Aubrey are interesting, but that does not make them have a more interesting dynamic as a real life relationship.
You forgot HeroxKel in the shadow relm
They were so far repressed they ceased to exist
I know you probably can’t see this, BUT PLEASE READ THE MAVERICKS SECRET ON AO3 I BEG OF YOU
24:38 I understood everything you said
Cactiflower is in Absolute brain rot for me. I just find the opposite personality's of shy / sensitive and energetic / social so cute! Kel's so goofy, loud and hyper all the time, and then you just have Basil being calm, quiet and tired all the time. They are completely opposites and it just, i love it. I just love this ship so much lol
Also yeah, Suntan is so boring and overrated to me too. There is way to much content for it, and to me it just feels like a worse version of Cactiflower.
i have a hot take i feel many people wont like but i dont think Kelbrey works and i think Sunburn actually does work. ill start off why would Aubrey choose to be with someone she argues with all the time as a partner when she comes from a dysfunctional home where she grew up seeing that stress. While it is cute in some media but thats the thing its a trope and Kel kinda destroys that trope because he really doenst seem to be into Aubrey very much. While he did call her cute sure but the squiggly dialogue is always meant sarcastically in omori i dont think he meant it maliciously but i think it was more of Kel trying to be funny and compliment her and it seems calling each other cute is normal in this friend group same with mines I call many of my friends cute platonically as well. okay next sunburn isnt actually very overly straight as it seems people just ship it wrong Aubrey doesnt actually need to change or lose her personality at all thats why Sunny likes her. Sunny is very reserved most of the time and Aubrey is very strong willed but she doesnt really know how to communicate her feelings very well Sunny even says she was hard to understand She came to Sunny to talk to him about issues she was dealing with and when everyone else was busy she could always count on Sunny to make time for her similarly to why i also enjoy Sunflower i love people talking it out with each other thats what makes things work. Sunny can be seen hiding behind Aubrey in the real world tags which i always interpreted as him feeling safe around the person same way he hides behind hero but Aubrey's tags show her being rough with Hero and especially Kel but very gentle with Sunny showing she cares about him in a much different light than the rest of her friends they feel secure in each other because they compliment each other Sunny doesnt express himself much Aubrey doesnt communicate much but seeks comfort and Sunny IS that comfort. Sunny's quiet personality and him being a good listener is what makes this such a cute ship imo and why it works for me you dont have to agree but this is my personal interpretation. I dont think its as one sided as some people think and i dont think its too straight or boring because it reverses typical gender architypes fount in a lot of media which is what i find Kelbrey to be a trope which wouldnt really be enjoyable for Aubrey seeing as how she grew up.
Sunny x Basil = Sunflower ! My FAVORITE Ship !!!💕
I love SUNTAN i get it i respect your opinion ❤❤❤
As a suntan and sunflower shipper, I actually forgot what I was gonna say lmfao
Never thiught abt that regarding suntan... hum... idk i prefer sunflower ajywah but they can have a good dynamic but most people make it just be wholesome 200 reddit chungus swag time
Why Isnt SunnyxMari in the shadow realm?!
20:17 agreed tbh. (I have nothing more to say other than I agree.) also I think sweetheart is aroace (I’ll explain forever who wants)
21:12 hero would Fr just be 🧍 while the other two are arguing
21:44 I like lmao
22:23 I’m just biased (I like it)
23:07 I can’t even think about who they are anymore it’s much too rainbow
24:00 person who made solar system really said “fuck it I can’t chose I’ll just do all” HEY THATS CHEATING!!!
I agree with everything you said- we have the same veiws on omori ships lmao
My smiles is dropping when Suntan goes to boring but at the same I understand, sunshine and goth bfs are might to boring, I agree on other ships though really good video man 👍
14:08 YOURE BORING
(Suntan is the only reason I clicked and I skipped to that part so now I leave the video, bye )
Oof
Sunflower joke
@@thomasl1061 huh? What’s the joke?)
suntan fans try to not be annoying challenge
(impossible)
I personally don't like suntan either, I just can't like it for some reason
U should have a hell tier that are curesed bc I worry about ppl who like Mari x sunny r hero x Kel (not I’m a platonic way 😟 )
Omori suntan comic was recommended to me when I clicked off the video😭
People either hate or love sunflower
sunflower supremacy.
sapphic sunburn sweepppppppp
I'm gonna fight the kimbrey sprites in aight I will FIGHT I WILL FIG
DON'T CALL MY BABY UNDEVELOPED 💔💔💔
guys
This is why we kimbrey fans gotta make more comics and stuff with Kim having more personality and background guys. We are mid. Guys.
12:44 update
Mari and Daphne have met before 😨😨😨 Mari worked at the bakery in othermart to save up for sunnys violin! Idk why this one stood out to me so much but yeah just wanted to say that yayayaya
Also heromari is boring 🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🔥🇺🇲🔥🔥🦅🔥🇺🇲🔥🦅
Welp im hoping people don't argue over which ship is better or more "canon"
I really like Sunflower Ship but Suntan is a goat not to hate ok it's the Sunflower Ship is nice but basically you just shipping Sunny and the one who killed his sister instead of getting help but I love drama so I'll it a solid 9.8/10 :D
I love sunflower- 🕺🏻
wait, Omori x Basil? doesn't Omori like.. want to brutally murder Basil every time Basil is about to show the truth to Sunny?
since like, sure, Omori is part of Sunny-but Omori isn't Sunny; Omori is an alter ego that embodies Sunny's trauma and it's whole purpose is hiding the truth from Sunny-
why is it top tier ship?
Omori has literally 0 interest in Basil-
