ACROPHOBIA.

This took me forever my goshhh- itās all just different shades of dark blue and I was doing it on this completely white document in notability like an idiot and my poor eyes were straining so hard to see which color was which š
I drew a marigold :P
In flower language, marigolds stand for grief or jealousy. But in some cultures, they stand for divinity, purity, and the connection between life and death! :D
KITTYYY :DDD
Drew some baby Strangers based on kittens from around the internet I really liked, send more kittens to draw
:P
Yesterdayās drawing (Iām too lazy and tired rn to add a description with actual value š)
To answer your theory about Omori and the closet, the black light bulb in the Headspace is synonymous with the rejections of thinking (in the popular mind, a light bulb is synonymous with an idea) therefore the white space is literally Sunny's thoughts as he forces himself to forget what he did (the toy box under the light bulb is off, a sign that he doesn't want to see what he did)
ik, HOWEVER :P I headcanon Sunny as bisexual and just think itās fun to think of Whitespace originally being based on a repression of Sunnyās sexuality! Thereās lots of evidence to suggest headspace existed before Mari fell, so why not imagine a timeline where Whitespace existed beforehand bc Sunny was bisexual and growing up in a small religious town sometime in the early 2000ās and never really learned about these things and then was scared that something was wrong with him?
This entire thing is glorious and I think that every single Omori fan needs to read this āØ
Stranger is as much of a Basil as Headspace Basil is because they're the same guy here's 6500 words explaining why
Ddlc Monika ramble bc my hyperfixation is coming back and somehow settling alongside my Omori one
Alright so like. I hate how many people treat Monika like sheās pure jealousy and obsession :/ especially given everything sheās gone through. Iād like to make a couple of points here, and analyze some of the lines from her poems (not all) to give more insight into what was going on in her mind. All the poem screenshotted are from FandomWiki, I believe.
The first part of this poem is a direct reference to when Monika gains ākernal accessā to her game- or more simply, self awareness. The hole appears a metaphor for a screen- She wasnāt looking into the screen, she was looking out. And the player is looking in. The second part realizing that her friends arenāt even real. Sheās starting to see herself as something else than the others. And I donāt think itās in a narcissistic way- In this case, she IS different now, because she doesnāt have a script that all her actions follow, unlike her friends. The people she cares deeply about arenāt even people; just lines in a script. The part at the end, about her brandishing her pen, is when she starts to edit the script, desperate for a way out.
Iād like to point out first that red, green, and blue are the primary colors when it comes to light- AND the colors of pixels on a screen. I canāt tell what the ānoiseā sheās referring to exactly is; possibly a reference to anxiety, or existentialism? Most likely, in my opinion, is that itās the gameās music. See how she compares the noise to a turntable, and a vinyl? Thatās a direct connection to the music. And considering that the gameās music plays on loop⦠That wouldnāt exactly be fun to hear on loop for god knows how long š¬
The version of this poem from Act 2, I canāt see any meaning to the vowels missing, though perhaps someone else has. Generally, this poem just shows Monikaās mental health deteriorating further. Combined with the fully capitalized words, along with āLike playing a vinyl on a pizza crustā suddenly turning into āLike playing a KNIFE on a BREATHING RIBCAGEā- It really does mostly seem like weāre watching Monika go a bit insane. The words āKNIFEā and āBREATHING RIBCAGEā really exaggerate how much the noise really hurts her. (Also, personal comment is that this sounds a lot like overstimulation TvT)
This poem seems to be more metaphorical than the other two. āThe Ladyā seems to refer to the gameās script- sheās a being who knows everything, knows Monikaās own thoughts and feelings, and she knows everything that can and will happen. Just like the gameās script. The imagery of Monika being a feather on the wind very much gives off the feeling of being helpless, unable to fight against the gameās script. The Lady tells her that there is no meaning, and no purpose- Likely how Monika really does feel. Nothing she does has any impact in the real world. The Lady telling Monika that āWe seek only the impossibleā- Itās directly telling us what it felt like when Monika learned she was the only character without a route for the player to take. There is no scripted world where Monika finds a happy ending with the player, the person she loves, the only thing she knows is real.
This last poem shows that she really doesnāt mean to hurt anyone. She doesnāt have any real malicious intent towards the other characters. She just wants to be happy.
Those are some thoughts I have on her poems. Something else Iād like to be considered is the fact that Monika knew everything her friends were going to say- including some of the harsher words her friends have used, or even thought about her. Along with the fact that her own friends were seemingly the only thing standing in the way of the player, and sheād just learned her friends werenāt even real.
Generally, I feel like people donāt empathize enough with Monika T^T this was a really long rant and idk what it accomplished but yeah-
Would you like to have a picnic? š§ŗ
