I’m curious as to what you guys would make uncanon?
Decisions… decisions…
Hmmmmm…
nah fuck leafy get the hell outta here
Make sunny not have to move away immediately honestly.
Mari plays drums and Sunny plays an electric guitar. Final Duet but just really fucking metal
Honestly in my head I like to think that after the hospital scene, Sunny’s mom decides against moving away and he gets to stay with his friends.
The accident never happened and everyone live a happy and fulfilling life .
The scene where Kel(the most athletic person in the group) encourages the boy with a drowning phobia to save Basil. I mean, why.
The truth album descriptions (dark album). If I had to critique one point of the story, are those descriptions because it leads to basil being misunderstood as someone that suddenly suggested doing that thing to Mari out of nowhere, but that isn’t the case in my opinion/ head canon /interpretation.
WARNING ITS VERY DARK
“How bad it could be?”
Answer: very bad. I warned you.
! If you look at the game’s symbolism, basil is shown to be the only one that gets lost in black space. Black space being the headspace where sunny’s dark thoughts reside. !<
! The black lightbulb literally is in sunny’s mind. But the idea isnt exactly his. !<
No.
! The reason sunny suffers and the lightbulb is there was because sunny had the idea of unaliving way back. This idea had appeared at the very beginning where sunny actually threw the violin out of frustration, unable to keep up, the “something behind him”. !<
!Basil watched that in horror when the “something behind him”, his desire to commit the bad as he felt he wasn’t good enough, causes Mari to fall as sunny raged, feeling Mari didn’t understand.
This obviously makes things worse, and as things unfolds sunny mumbles hiding the crime once it came crashing down to slowly realize what he had done. !<
! Basil horrified and knowing sunny the most, had unfortunately witnessed it all and basil got afraid for sunny. He didnt want sunny to die, and caused him to suggest to hide it, like basil himself had imagined sunny would attempt to die. !<
! Sunny wasn’t in any shape to think and agreed, and when he realized he made it even worser, he became aware of something, which now was mixed with Mari, a reminder of what he had done. !<
! A nightmarish twisted guardian that would not let him die because it would remind him what he had done to her. !<
But this is somewhat of an interpretation, trying to fit the descriptions as best as possible, but idk. Also I can interpret this into other theories, but this is the one that makes more “sense” to me.
Would match Basil’s personality than the “horrible suggestion out of nowhere” interpretation I saw for a long time.
Da violin, it all led to a disaster
!The incident happens but Mari doesn’t die, she just gets injured and it puts a big strain on the friendship of the gang. The game is about patching things up for the short time Mari and Hero are back home from college.!<
Genuinely can’t think of anything and I’m not sure how much of that says something about the game vs something about my creativity
Hero being missing from half of the Real World segments. Surely there’s a way to integrate him into the story earlier! Most of what we learn about his Real World self comes from Kel instead of Hero himself, except for his conversation with Sunny in the piano room. It just sucks that he didn’t get much time with him. Just 1 DAY LEFT and the end of 2 DAYS LEFT.
this is hard. maybe the fact that aubrey’s mom straight neglects her kid, maybe give her some backstory on why.
Sunny moving away or Mewo died
Sunny’s mom. I think it would be more fucked up if she just abandoned him like his dad.
This one is really specific and a nitpick but it has been bothering me for a bit, especially after chapter 1 of the manga
Sunny’s pupils should not have been filled in the group hug scene.
If you look at the group hug scene with everyone in the real world, sunny has white pupils in his eyes.
I have a bit of an issue with that.
Pupils are never seen on omori and never on current 16 year old sunny until the good ending. This gives sunny a blank and depressed stare the entire game.
Pupils can be seen on sunny during memory lane, aka the flashback scenes in the past before >!the recital!<. Sunny was still an innocent kid who was not yet depressed and traumatized. Sunny has pupils after the >!final duet with Mari,!< when he finally grappled with the truth of what happened 4 years prior and finally was willing to accept it and tell his friends the truth.
He essentially got his humanity back and the pupils were there to show that. During the entirety of the game whenever you look in the mirror sunny has pitch black eyes. He is barely human, just a walking pile of regret and grief ready to go back to sleep and deny reality more in his dream world.
I find it really really powerful that after all the shit he went through he finally had pupils in his eyes in the end and a normal look on his face, he finally looked alive despite crying and eventually telling his friends the truth. I also burst out crying when in memory lane you look in the mirror and sunny also has pupils in his eyes, so innocent (that and his upbeat narration compared to the objective third person narration for most of the game broke me).
So to have the group hug scene just casually give him his pupils back when they had such powerful symbolism before, just like thay during the hug, when his issues are not yet resolved. Idk man it just rubs me the wrong way… still my favorite game ever though
I know it’s kinda a big part of the game, but… HUMPHREY THAT FRICKIN WHALE
Hero being named after a sandwich (ik it isn’t his real name, but I’d like it more if he actually did something heroic).
I’d let Sunny be more expressive like in the manga, cause certain scenes would be better with a reaction, like the lake scene for example, bro didn’t even back up like at the tree stump, yet that’s exactly how Mari died.
A certain room in blackspace that involves a cat and a knife.
