Love Is A Place Where Your Innocence Goes When It Dies

So some time ago, we heard of somebody headcanoning Shuichi Saihara from DanganRonpa as having Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD. We were shocked about it since our perseption of the illness was still rooted in the idea of the sufferers lashing out in anger and pain. And while that is true for some, it made us look into BPD & find out about Quiet BPD.

Long story short is that Quiet BPD is still Borderline Personality Disorder, but most of the destructive symptomes are internalized. And while we've yet to fully reconsume NDRV3, we do think quiet-BPD!Shuichi can be very fitting. Another character we think would have (quiet) BPD is Basil from OMORI. Both characters seem to latch on to one or few people, revolve their worth around their thoughts & feel often intense self-critique.

reposting my artwork from my Pillowfort cause IDK how archives work on that site.

[idk if needed; but both characters are 18+ in this]

So a WHILE back; we saw a post an a tumblr-esc site that roughly went;

Pairings of characters that the fandom thinks are either siblings or dating
*insert photo list of ships here*

On that list, Sunflower/Sunny X Basil from OMORI was included.

We don't know when we saw this, we might've not even been into OMORI back then. So we assume the post was made early on when OMORI was just released cause, otherwise I'd have to say

"WTF are you talking about OP? Nobody views Sunflower as sibling-esc!"

The only fic on AO3 that we found that portrays Sunny & Basil as siblings, was a joke/crack-fic about how Hero adopted the entire main cast post-good ending, it was even joked about in-universe. And while it wasn't the case back then, Sunflower now is the 2nd most popular pairing on AO3 (and with how anti-allied the fandom is, I doubt anyone views them as both).

You know what OMORI ship DOES fit that descriptions though?

Photobomb/Aubrey X Basil.

I have seen on AO3 both fanfic that portrays Photobomb as either romantic or sibling-esc. The tags "Polly adopts Aubrey" & "Aubrey and Basil are Siblings" are not common, but are canonical & used.

The reason I think about this is cause I remember watching a video of some cinderella-based movie, & the reviewer called the teenaged protagonist moving in with her boyfriend's family as "pseudo-incestious". Which, okay those 2 are clearly meant to be late-teens, calm down. But I wonder if in a fic, Aubrey dating Basil while moving in with him would be viewed as "pseudo-incestous". I personally wouldn't think it like that, because they're both likely 16 in-game, and after the good ending they'd would likely need time to come to grips with the truth & become friends again, meaning they could be 17-18 when they would start dating &/or Aubrey moving in. Which at that point who should actually care???

Do you ever just, think up AU stuff so much that you stray so far from canon that it's basically an original work now? I'm not really talking about rewrites / fix-it fics, but moreso next gen fics. Especially for fandoms that are moreso rooted in reality and / or have a largely small cast.

OMORI is a media that's both (even if a huge chunk of the game is set in the dreams of the MC). I personally have fun creating fan-kids & general fan-family for whatever reason. And while OMORI's cast have parents but they generally have so little personality that I can just, slide in my own characterization. At some point all this OC making and making minor characters into basically OCs. It can make it seem more of an original work with OMORI characters to me.

IDK; just a thought I had.
