house of ashes tumblr community if we can just convene and collectively bully push the SMG and/or Dark Pictures twitter account to spill the birthdays of the characters then we would be unstoppable ✊😤

falls to the ground head in hands oh my god I'm so in love with Nick Kay House of Ashes

rambles in bullet points under the cut cuz I'm so tired from moving a lot today and I'm a mess so please bear with me if u decide to read it ahu <33

BUT LIKE....nick kay as a boyfriend....ue ue ue ue

NICK KAY AS YOUR BOYFRIEND COME ON!!!

yes I Know Jason is good enough

yes I am Aware Salim would make a fantastic significant other

yes it is canon that Eric is. a Husband

but let me rot over Nick today ok!! 💥💥💥

it's so funny that one of the starting character traits in his intro is romantic lmao

you just know he's Hella romantic with the dates and how he'll treat you! 💖💖💖

mmm it's not that I want to say that he'd be a living doormat for you but more of that he'll do whatever he can to make sure that a majority of your needs are satisfied!

obviously he values honesty in a relationship. That "no one's giving it to me straight" line got to me somehow and made me think that what he wanted there also applies in having a relationship with him 🤔

uhh man this all sounds so generic when describing '[x] as your boyfriend' but like, idk! Nick just seems so warm and approachable and if I fell underground with the group I would probably trust him and/or Salim with my life first KJDSFNKSDJFSD 🤪

ok anyways that man's super sweet and throws the cheesiest one-liners/pick-up lines at you and would always try to make you smile or laugh or have you (affectionately) roll your eyes

but other times he can just be a doof and sometimes not understand you or your feelings or whenever you're going through something and so he has to do a ✨group huddle✨ with the boys to discuss his next best move idk I like to think this man isn't perfect and can't think of solutions to problems right away but he's trying his best to work on that!!!

uhh what else what else before i completely shut down for the night

love language he wants to receive is quality time and words of affirmation. Spending whatever time he has with you away from marine duties or being deployed is something he really cherishes. Tell him he's doing great and that you appreciate all that he does and his heart is yours forever and ever amen 😌🙏

mmm depending on the person he's with the love language he'll give maaaayyy differ but I like to think that he'll often do acts of service and physical touch! If you need help with lifting bags or heavy stuff he's right there !!! If you need cuddles or hugs after a long day he's got his buff arms ready for a long cuddle session 💪🤗 >:-]]

BIG SPOON BIG SPOON just. likes to feel safe with you wrapped up in his arms as you both drift off to sleep. If he ever has nightmares the weight of your body may help ground himself or so and remind himself that you're here and you're safe with him

man snores i just KNOW IT BAHAHA up to you if you'll make fun of him for it or use it as your personal sleep machine but yeah he defo snores hehehe <333

I get the reason why his character in-game is just not as good as compared to let's say the character development of Jason or the overall nature of Salim being the group's voice of reason, but MAN,.,,i just wanna think that SMG did him dirty <///3 BAHAHAHJSDHFKHSDF 🥶👉👈

I DON'T KNOW maybe I'm insane and think that there really is nothing there but like....Nick DOES have character. He's guilty over what he's done at the checkpoint, he has his limits esp. when your relationship with Rachel in the game is sour, and he willingly volunteered to plant the bombs and possibly face a gruesome death by the hands claws of unknown creatures

idk just give him a chance!!! or not and let me (and the 5 other people here who like him) have him to ourselves hsjdfhksdf or just perceive him for 5 minutes idk!!!

sis is in her nick brainrot era 🥴🥴🥴 please forgive me lmao but yeah thanks for coming to my ted talk the path to the exits are highlighted please make your way out of here safely and never look back ever again cuz I probably won't lmao this is embarrassing *crawls away*

[washidashi]

hgh calling for potential house of ashes mutuals 🥺🙏 as a trade offer i will make funny haha meme art of the characters to entertain you

big plus if you like jalim too hgkggkg

Part 3 of me explaining the Basil Brothers Propaganda

Welcome to Part 3!! of this longer-than-needed explanation on my Basil Brothers Propaganda which is kindly sponsored by the anon who asked about it 😎🔥 I think this will be the last part for now until there are major developments on this movement in which I'll gladly update soon mwehe :3

Here's Part 1 and Part 2 in case you missed 'em and need the full context of this whole thing

[insert disclaimer and spoiler copied from Parts 1 and 2 oK LET'S GO🏃‍♀️💨💨💨]

So the months of May-mid June were my 👌peak👌 of Rowan and Basil content, I would just talk on Twitter nonstop about them and my followers and mutuals had to sadly witness it all

Eventually, it did die down because of a lot of things: I got busy working on my thesis, people were slowly losing interest for Rowan, and times were just changing P-:

Then in comes this amazing artist who drew just as amazing art of Stranger, I don't want to repost their art here but their Twitter handle is @/strange_fl0wer and they just make the most art ever !!!!!!! 💥💥💥

You can head to the Media tab and search through his art and you'll find it eventually, bUT THEY'RE A BIG ENJOYER OF STRANGER AND ROWAN TOO MY HEART SOARED 💗💗💗

I got so inspired I tried to make art of his Stranger design bc it was that good but ofc I can't compare waha :"-]

As you can see by the lower right doodle (aha yeah you do) my brain just started seeing him as an addition to the brothers :-]]

Eventually, my brain went back to its brainrot of Basil and his brother but now with an added 's' to the end bc they gOT BIG BRO STRANGER NOW WITH THEM EYYY WOOHOO 🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

I just went kwazy again now with the addition of @/strange_fl0wer's Stranger as a big brother figure to them. Here, have some doodles on them!

Like with the conception of Rowan I didn't think too much of his concept and identity yet except for the fact that he'd be the older brother to the twins

I'm sure I made some hc of him in my Twitter somewhere but I can't recall kjsdfbkds gl finding them ig..🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but here have some more art to give you an idea on how I visualize their dynamic as brothers!

I think that's all the art I've made on them (for now). So, my objective to dump all that here is accomplished 😌👌 I will just share a few more things tho to wrap this up!

As much as I love to use 'Stranger' I think my mind really wanted to come up with another name for him especially with this human/non-cryptid version, and I just came across some tweet on how he would go under the name Sage in the real world and my gOD it clicked on me so fast you wouldn't know

Verbatim from this one tweet I made on Twitter:

Just saw someone say that Stranger would go under the name Sage if he was in the real world and I'm. Feeling Things 😳 how we feeling about that boys i think it sounds cool and fitting with the theme of them having plant/herb/tree names 🤓

Adding that the sage personality/archetype is often associated with being the "seeker of truth" and is described to be knowledgeable, assured and guiding KEKLRLADK PLEASE I CAN'T SEE BIG BRO STRANGER IN ANY OTHER WAY BUT THAT 😭😭 but idk idk i could be reaching idk idk 🥴

So, yeah!! I'm just gonna refer to Big Bro!Stranger as Sage in any future instances that I'll talk about him with my Basil Brothers Propaganda 😎 and....yeah that's about it for now, dear Anon! I hope this.....explanation helps in a way :'-] thank you for letting me indulge in it skdjfbsdf

ONE MORE THING. while I did say that I'm not planning on making some full-fledged story/AU with these characters, the artist I mentioned above has something akin to it in the works! If you'd like to know more about it I suggest you head to his twitter to find out :-]

[washidashi]

HELLO I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR BASIL BROTHERS PROPAGANDA

this has been sitting for I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG in my asks but to this anon: I see you, I hear you, you are the sole person who has unlocked my infodumping on this propaganda so hERE WE GOOOOOO 🗣️📣💥💥💥

⚠️Disclaimer 1: I don't really know what to call this ..AU?? idea??? bro idk I just love Basil so much and the idea of him having a sibling (or siblings 👀👀 more on that info down the line) makes my heart happy bc god danggit this boy deserves siblings who care for him >:-1 💢💢

⚠️Disclaimer 2 there really isn't much of a formulated story behind all this when really it's just tidbits of me talking about this idea from time to time jskdfds ALTHOUGH! I do have a Twitter mutual who might plan on making an actual AU with this mechanic/idea of sorts, more of that down the line!

((beware of OMORI spoilers and all that jazz btw! with that being said, let's head on to the very beginning of when this all began! apologies in advance that this may be long and if you'll be seeing a lot of twitter screenshots, that's because my propaganda for it started there! 😃🎉))

OK so this all started on the last week of May, which, tmi was also when it was my birthday (yay) and the universe decided to gift me: Rowan 😌💗

For those unaware, Rowan was basically known as the "beta Basil" or the beta design of Basil before he became well, Basil! This art made by Omocat dated back in 2012 features Rowan with rowdy hair (that isn't really as defined as Basil's but, it's there), a sweater vest + shirt combo, and a flower on their head, similar to the present design of Basil

idk where it truly started, but he blew uP on Twitter thanks to user @/znazzysam

It became the talk of the community for a couple days and that of course included mE 💥👄💥 I was just so darn intrigued at the thought of Basil's former design and how people comment on how he looks 'aggressive' or 'emo' and it's just so funny that the identity of Rowan looks and feels so different to that of Basil

And so my brain started to voice out ideas on what or who Rowan could be on twitter and it eventually led to my brainrot over Basil and Rowan 🥴 excuse the barrage of Twitter screenshots below being such examples!

I'm sure there was more but that was most of it. At first I thought of him as a separate entity/character unrelated to Basil and may even be featured as a character in the story (ie he'd gang up with Aubrey and the Hooligans, he's rowdy and mean etc.). Eventually though, I started to see him as someone who is related to Basil and eventually tweeted this:

ever since that tweet I now thought of Basil and Rowan as twins and GAHHH IT JUST ALL WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE /s and now I started spewing more ideas about them living under the same roof ✌️😚

And because I only found out now that Tumblr limits its number of media to 10 per post I'm gonna have to split this into 2 parts JKSDFNKJSDF ^^; Will be sure to indicate it in the next post for your reference, anon!

[washidashi]

Part 2 of me explaining the Basil Brothers Propaganda

HEYA this is Part 2! of the lengthy answer I am giving to the lovely anon who has shown their interest in it LET'S GO 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

You can find Part 1 here!

[insert same disclaimers and spoilers etc. etc. if you don't know the plot of OMORI, well, you better know before getting under the cut okAY grrr 🤨😡 /nm /nsrs]

I did end up making art of Rowan and him with Basil as a result of this brainrot and ofc since the idea/concept of Rowan was still new at that time, people were still figuring out how to exactly draw him lol. I remember this was the first art I made of him as I was still unsure of his color scheme and all that so there was still some sense of ✨~artistic freedom~✨

Blue eyes because of course you gotta show that they're related somehow /j wearing a long-sleeved cardigan and a pointier flower on his head mm yeah yup that's Rowan alright

I think at this time people were trying to solidify his design and I remember there were 2 people who had remarkable color scheme designs on Rowan which are from Twitter users @/znazzysam who is also running a Rowan acc on twitter gO FOLLOW EM @/QuotesRowan (left) and @/38mb_ (right) !

Ideas on forming his identity were still being tossed around and whatnot so I just drew what my mind would come up with when I think of Rowan! :-] keywords: unhinged, a bastard :-]] KJSDBFJSKDHAHA

There came a point where I was so trying so hard to be deep in thought on how Rowan would fit in if he was canonically placed in the story as Basil's twin so I vomited this twitter thread out! warning: it is edgy it is yucky but it is there 😃🎉 feel free to read it, or not!

I even played around with the idea that Rowan could be considered as a "glitch" or a character that was nearly put on the game but the devs last minute decided otherwise and just put him in the game's files. With this, I liked to think that he could have represented the meaner, more angrier/aggressive side of Basil that wanted to come out especially when it came to that showdown in Basil's bedroom (look I even made art for it the brainworms were THAT bad! :D) CW: glitching and flashing images

have some art (feat. Polly!) in closing for pART 2 BC I STILL NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE GROUP IN PART 3 OWOWOWOW 🥴

[washidashi]

it's only the middle of the week and the only thing keeping me going is the image of jason and salim kissing and holding hands uyjvfyf

[washidashi]

supermassive games please give us the birthdays of the house of ashes characters so we can celebrate them or i will riot outside your building <3

[washidashi]

the next couple of color palette requests being either jalim or kingkay which, LOVE LOVE LOVE BAHAHAHAAA 👌🔥💥💥💥 but I apologize if I'm taking a while with them! ugly things in life happening to me rn (everyone say "I hate you mercury retrograde 🥰💖") but rest assured I'll work on em soon ! 🤠

[washidashi]

a good portion of the content in the hoa tag being incorrect quotes just gives me +10 years of life thank u all for supplying the goods 😌👌

[washidashi]

not a majority of gaming guides telling you that the "best" way to make sure all 5 characters survive is to call in air-support and let Salim be captured as a POW in the end that isn't a win in my book chief 😕

[washidashi]

aha i haven't really touched this app (or made just a text post in so long kjdfsdf) aside from passively posting art and surfing through some stuff I'm into and it makes me 🅱️ig Sad that I haven't engaged much with followers or people here 😔

that being said, how exactly do you spark engagement as a tumblr user kjsdfn 😖

[washidashi]

sob sob what must i do to expand my babil brothers agenda to tumblr dot com and gain a circle of mutuals here 😔 til now i still use this place as an art dump instead of actually yanno, exploring a community or interest here ue ue 😭

i get easily overwhelmed by tumblr's interface and ux despite being a lurker for years ;;
