I'm really happy you enjoyed nitw so much. That game was the first time I truly bawled my eyes out over a game - It was the first time I ever felt really understood and that I wasn't uniquely bad or wrong.

yeah!! it's so awesome. the dialogue is wonderful—every character feels like the product of so much love. mae is honestly such a good character and it's a blessing so many people see themselves in her

Since you have a lot of opinions about Sunflower fics, do you have any recommendations :p? I do generally agree with you about the derth of good works on them - kind of hoping for something I've maybe slept on.

Okay, I'll try,

First of all — I want everyone, and I mean everyone to read Coda for a Crestfallen Caitiff by MercuriallyApathetic, who also wrote The Strange Summer of Sunny Whatshisface (still one of my favorite longfics to this day but a lot more lighthearted). Coda is a masterpiece, it makes me insane, it is criminally underrated, I want to inhale its essence, and when I first read it it gave me a panic attack and a mental breakdown that lasted three straight days (/pos). Definitely read the tags and prepare yourself mentally but JESUS CHRIST I need everyone to read it. Please. You will regret it for a few hours but it is... an experience. To me at least. And to the two people I recommended it to who gave me feedback.

Then there's sunflower seeds in the rearview mirror by @andrewwtca which remains probably my favorite multichapter OMORI fic of all time (you might spot my essay-comments in the later chapters, I love this fic so much. I didn't end up writing one for the last chapter but man did it hit me hard). Very intriguing with a captivating style and an unreliable narrator mechanic that I am absolutely in love with. Everything by that author is excellent.

We have, of course, literally everything by BetweenDisorders. Arsenic is partly inspired by one of their fics ! (you know the one.) Their characterization of both Sunny and Basil (but especially Basil, because I'm gay) makes me froth at the mouth. Their style is very recognizable and honestly one of the best I've ever seen. But more generally, they have really original and intriguing ideas (like communication, in which Basil and Sunny are two computers... Did I mention how I'm a sucker for original/unique plots and premises enough yet) and everything they do is something you've never seen before. It's amazing.

Note to Self: Don't Be Gay in Faraway Town by witheredahlia is also very, very good. It's a lot lighter, but it still made my gay little heart ache, because I'm a sucker for misunderstandings done correctly (fight me).

Detective Sunny by Det_Sun is genuinely one of the most creative, fascinating OMORI fics I've seen, and also way too underrated. It's an excellent read, and there's a bunch of ideas in it that you know go deeper than what is shown, and it makes my brain go at the speed of light. Many many thoughts about this one. (Side note: I fucking love it when there's unexplored ideas in fics. Makes my brain go brrr. Not everything has to be shown and when I see hints of "behind the scene" thoughts and character background that isn't discussed much but still implied, my brain becomes a feral animal. I don't know if that makes sense...)

Saying an Omori ship is t4t is redundant, they're all trans already

I'm sorry if you've gotten this ask before, but I'm curious what Loop's deal is in the Ageswap AU, if Bonnie's the one looping?

just bundling these up to the same response. well!!! their deal is pretty much what it is in canon!! a simple wish and a horrible outcome!! baby in the timeloop... i suppose this time around the universe was kinder with the choice of the next looper though..

ooooh headcanons, uuhh

I'm really attached to the idea of the the king having been like ... not really a parent, but like a mentor or teacher for Siffrin back before the country got vanished, maybe even as the person who taught them how to use wishcraft properly. Maybe partly because part of the king's role in the game is to explain stuff, but in particular the conversation they have if you give him a flower really gives me the vibes of like, a half-remembered conversation that's been had before.

OHH.OHH I RLLY LIKE THIS IDEA?? i think thatd be very cool.. i like 'king being siffrins dad' really only for jokes but i think this is rlly neat... MAN.. teaching him how to use wishcraft especially.blows up

started reading the Omori Manga and like ... yeah i dunno about this. I don't know if there's anything else I can add that hasn't already been said, but it just feels rushed and poorly paced. Can't help but feel disappointed - I wanted to stay optimistic but man there's so many red flags that I'm not sure if I want to keep on going.

YEAH,,, i think im gonna keep reading it out of sheer curiosity (its not like im giving any money so.) but. i cannot see myself enjoying it at all even if it does get better from here
