I'm going to start with Sunny and do the others in reblogs.

Sunny

A major feature of the game OMORI is Sunny's Headspace. This is a place where Sunny goes to escape. Inside Headspace is Black Space, a place where Sunny shoves down memories he wants to repress.

The nearest area to Black Space is Deeper Well, where you begin finding these... things. They have names that all are synonyms of "nothing." One of them, Null says this.

Humans are bounded creatures. Your limits are what define you. What makes you human?

While this is referring to Sunny's trauma over Mari's death, Sunny's lack of connection to humanity is interesting in how it can come as a result of many things. Even before Mari's death, he's isolated and not particularly talkative.

Some people have seen his actions as reflective of being neurodivergent or mentally ill, even as child before the traumatic events involving his near death experience in the water, and, of course, Mari's death.

His loss of connection with humanity could be due to the trauma of Mari's death. A symptom of trauma is dissociation. It makes you feel unreal, one person described it as feeling in "doubt [of her] own existence," not feeling like, "either a human being or an animal," and instead "a piece of furniture." Additionally it makes you feel seperate from your enrivornment, including other people.

Now that it's 2026, (literally been writing this for years??) I can finally come to my point: Sunny has otherkin vibes. A lot of neurodivergent trans people are otherkin, source: my friend group when I was 14, it seems to stem from being isolated socially and disconnected from one's body. Which Sunny definitely is.

Also there's a potion in Deeper Well called the Mystery Potion which, when drunk, turns Omori into a girl. And one of the ways off is when Omori looks into a mirror, mirroring how mirrors can trigger dysphoria.

I'm not very knowledgable about quantum physics, but I know the basic jist of quantum superposition.

We're heard the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment. If a cat is in a box with something that may eventually kill it, you do not know if it is alive or dead before you open the box. Therefore, the cat is both alive and dead, until the instance wherein you open the box.

In quantum physics, an electron can exist in two states at the same time — a particle and a wave. But, it can only be observed as one.

Gender's weird, right. Quite a few societies and cultures have adopted this binary model of things, which makes sense considering how the vast majority of the time, biological sex is binary — although not all of the time, and that's important to note.

But, the thing is, it's deeply engrained in the Western society that I live in, that people are either male or female. Views can change, but instinctual reactions are harder. When someone looks at you, they'll sort you into a binary box of male or female, no in between, no both, no other option, no write-in.

The Observer's Paradox in quantum physics is what it's like to be both and only be allowed to be one. Get you a particle that can do both. Male and female. Right here and on the other side of the universe.

There are people at Pride who give people "dad hugs" and "mom hugs," it's very appreciated. I've seen stories of people just breaking down in tears at a parental hug.

Although this hug isn't being offered because I'm at Pride, because I'm in a group that experiences much higher rates of parental rejection than cisgender and gender conforming people, it's still reminiscent of it.

And trans wrongs and trans lefts.

[ID: Comic panel of someone holding a baby over a fire and saying, "All glory to 𖤐im/𖤐er."

𖤐im/𖤐er are pronouns that aren't your typical (in english) she/her or he/him, neopronouns, but in universe of whatever this is, they could be all spooky and different. Now, using pronouns that aren't she/her or he/him doesn't mean someone's trans, but it's typically associated with trans, especially nonbinary, people.

The definition of being transgender is identifying with a gender other to your gender assigned at birth. That’s it. If you’re asking whether you’re defined as trans, there’s your answer.

You identify as a gender other to the one assigned at birth. It doesn’t mean that you don’t identify with the gender assigned to you at birth. Neither does it mean you have to identify with a gender at all, hello agender folks.

Now, really, what you’ve got to figure out is if you want to be called trans. And I can’t help you with that. But like, definition based…
