HUH????

Day 3: What moment surprised me?

There were a few moments that surprised me.

1 ) Jerry,

Honestly, I didn't paid too much attention to Jerry while playing the arcs until OFW and Arc 5. I'm like; "ohhhh. The Furry got Aura now."

2 ) Genzou and Orlam were dating??

I honestly thought that Genzou and Orlam just have a frenemy trope but nothing more! Until Arc 5 and the Last Dance, there were brief moments showing me that there was more to that. I'm also surprised that Orlam would even date someone who's been bullying me since childhood tho.

3 ) The Iggy Dolls.

Honestly, I played a few horror Visual Novel, so I prepared myself for a horror looking version of Iggy in Arc 5, at Gidgets route. Turns out it was just a doll version of Iggy. The relief I felt.

4 ) THE FUCKING TOMATO OMPA LOOMPAS-

BRO. Those little shits are the definition of looks can be deceiving because when I first played it I'm like, 'I'm going with the tomatoes. I mean, what could possibly go wrong??'

Fucking gets eaten after a few minutes later. So, yeah, I was about to commit a tomato massacre whenever seeing those little shits-

5 ) The Tree in Arc 5.

I mean. I was surprised about it in two parts. One, that it fucking killed Saydie, a baby. I was so so disgusted and shocked by this revelation.

But omfg. Two, after the tree had freaking pointed out the group's flaw it proceeds to go on and say; "But alas, I realised that, babies can't talk."

I'm like, "You just insulted the entire group but you didn't even know that babies couldn't talk. Are you a dumbass tree or what?-".

6 ) Finally, Saydie being the one guiding Iggy?

Honestly, I didn't really expect a baby to guide Iggy throughout the Arc. How constantly begging him to kill her. Like, I really didn't expect Saydie to help any of them out due to, you know, what happened to her physical form. Also, I've seen that sometimes a child's mind can easily be manipulated by an elder. So, I'm glad but surprised that the tree didn't even try to manipulate Saydie before transferring her soul/mind(?) into Iggy's body.

There were more twists and turns that had surprised me but these six were the mains sooo. 😅

Day 3

What was the biggest surprise or unexpected moment or twist for you while playing OW?

I'll tweak this for myself to be while working on OW haha. I probably couldn't count the number of times the story or chars took things in a different direction than I had originally planned in the game. But if I had to name the biggest... it would probably be Arc 4 in general.

Arc 4 was the first arc that started to veer wildly from the kind of Semi-Plan I had in my head for each arc. Arcs 1 and 2 came out mostly the same. Arc 3 started to veer a little bit (mostly in the extra little stuff that happened in between the larger moments). But Arc 4... almost nothing in Arc 4 went to plan. And the whole symbolism of The Ball being the same as what happened at After-Prom? And that whole build-up? Literally came out of nowhere. I still do not know how it worked out as well as it did and all just kinda fell into place LOL I think that's part of why I also like Arc 4 so much, because it was such a wild ride even for me. And I'm still shocked at how it turned out.

Second biggest surprise was definitely Jerry! Random one-off joke character in Arc 2 who I then brought back for Spooktober mostly because I thought it was quite silly. Then to become a major serious character in Arc 5? And it all somehow worked so well?? I could never in my wildest dreams have predicted that LOL Oh Jerry... you are one in a million.

Buxley (Bucks) at the end of Arc 1, after missing her axe-swinging towards Iggy;

(this meme reminds me so much of that CG/ Cutscene ngl gang...)

Anyways, Iggy x Bucks Axe for life. 🩵🪓🩵

Day 28: Add a new Arc??

Honestly, probably not as I don't think OW needs a new arc. HOWEVER, if there was a new arc, I have a small idea on it.

ARC 4.1: Alone.

An Arc where Iggy takes matters into his own skinny palms. Like, he went to their wonderland alone (on the day Hunar called him.)

Like, Iggy completely ventures alone into Our Wonderland without calling Genzou, Gidget or Orlam. Where he would go through the same process, a little, until he finds Bucks (which he doesn't until later on). Though, I wonder what types of trouble he'll get into, with no help whatsoever.

ORRR, if somehow Iggy gets corrupted himself, due to their Wonderland time working differently and how the trio (Genzou, Gidget and Orlam) would react to Iggy being corrupted.

Honestly, if Iggy does get corrupted, I'd imagined him as some White King. I would imagine trying to force everyone to stay in Wonderland to keep them all happy, until Genzou would try and snap Iggy out of it. Though, due to the Wonderland's influence on a corrupted person, I think Iggy would snap. Not in a 'Oh my lord, what have I done' snap, more like a 'are you fucking kidding me? After everything I did for you guys' snap.

Hmm.

Iggy being corrupted sounds a bit interesting, at least to me.

Happy Birthday Gidget!!

Random Thoughts:

I am still surprised that I played Our Wonderland for free..

Like, before I even downloaded Our Wonderland, I was like; 'ah, a Queer visual novel with problematic 30 year Olds going into Wonderland? Sounds interesting enough. This would be a piece of cake-"

Bro, Our Wonderland touched yet beat up my heart like there's no fucking tomorrow. I HAVEN'T EVEN CRIED AT A VISUAL NOVEL (only internally BUT NOT OUTSIDE) UNTIL PLAYING OUR WONDERLAND.

Like the characters!?!??!?!? The plot!?!? The humour- 🫶👌- THE ANGST!?!? AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ENDING. LIKE I WAS FUCKING BAWLING MY EYES OUT WHEN IGGY WISHED HE NEVER EXISTED. I'M LIKE; "WAIT, WHAT, NO, NO, NO," until I saw that it wasn't actually the end of the game- just the arc.

BUT GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. THE ENDINGS AT EACH ARC WAS LIKE KNIVES STABBING INTO MY HEART-

And when I finally finished Our Wonderland. I slowly laid back down on my bed and cried both tears of joy and sadness-

Like, I played that visual FOR FREE. WTF.

Also, when first playing it, I thought Cecil was like an alternate emo version of Iggy-

Anywhizzle, that's all of my yapping.

R.i.p five tissue boxes, for sacrificing their lives while I played Our Wonderland.

Please, be our hope. Be our voice. Be the ones who save us from despair. Don’t ignore us. Donate, even if it’s just $5 .

There are so many people reading this post right now. I beg anyone who sees these words to donate if they can, and if not, to share this post. Please, don’t leave us behind.

The latest Broomtail chapter

Yes. Hi. I really really REALLY need to talk about the latest Broomtail chapter. As you may know, we get to see a glimpse of Genzou's past through flashbacks he experiences. Perhaps the physical pian of his illness brings out the mental pain of his heavy backstory, so let's try to understand what's been going on.

One of the first things we see is this. A text that says "I must perform a thorough examination" accompanied with the image of someone smiling. Now, a few things may draw our attention, here. If the sentence is indeed connected to the character shown here, then there is a possibility that said character belongs to the medical field. They appear to be smiling in a really disturbing manner. The person's smile is too wide, the proportions feel odd and give off this creepy effect regarding their teeth. In fact, this reminds me of how Gidget, Orlam and Bucks's face expressions were unnaturally distorted in Wonderland (OW). This character, and potential doctor is likely meant to appear creepy, uncanny, and overall uncomfortable to look at in this specific picture. Perhaps they have bad intentions, or at least, that would be quite easy to assume. This hints at Genzou having some medical trauma and will likely make dealing with his illness even harder. (poor guy, seriously).

The second image shows a terrified Genzou. But look at him. Isn't he missing something? The scar on his eyes. This is a shot of him before he lost his eyesight!! The next sentence shown is a hesitant, half asked question : "Wh-what did you...?" implies the person asking that question is scared to even be asking it. Is scared of the answer. If this is related to the previous (potential doctor) character, then they seem to have done something that horrified Genzou.

Here is the next picture. A character, that to me looks shockingly similar to Genzou's mother is laying down, and doesn't seem to be in a good condition at all. If it is indeed Genzou's mother, then her hair is falling on her face and she appears to have splashes of something that looks like blood on her face. Her hair falling on her face would likely indicate that she is not in a state that's good enough for her to remove said hair. She is likely in a lot of pain, perhaps in the worst of cases, she is dead, or dying. If this is related to the likely doctor character from earlier, then perhaps she was a victim of medical malpractice, or she was straight up murdered. Who can tell, really? What's intriguing, however, is the text above that pleads "K-kill me..." Is Genzou's mother begging for her life to end? Or, could this be someone else.....?

The next image is of someone holding a gun, likely Genzou regarding the shape of the hand. He appears to be trembling, which is perfectly fitting to his current mood. Terrified and in pain. Something happened, where Genzou was trembling, holding a gun. Was he hesitating to shoot something or someone? Had he just shot something or someone and was regretting it? Underneath, the text reads "P-please..." which is yet again, another stuttering plea. We can likely say that this is the continuity of the previous one, and that the person asking to be killed is the same as this one.

And, here's the next image. A familiar, familiar face. Gidget, slaying their outfit, leaning on a doorframe. The text near them was likely said by them, regarding the change in tone. They are comparing themself to someone who they are referring to as "cowboy". Already, we can tell Gidget is a pretty important, yet painful part of Genzou's past.

Now this. This is where it gets EVEN MORE interesting. We get to see two intertwined hands, looking a lot like Gidget's and Genzou's. The implications of this could be that Gidget and Genzou were romantically involved with eachother at one point in this universe. That is a VERY interesting thing to explore, as it is not a dynamic that can be seen in any game of that universe. Sure, in Our Wonderland, Genzou seems a bit taken aback by Gidget's good looking appearance from the moment they start presenting themself as more masculine than before, but due to Gidget "forcing themself to be cis" (for lack of a better expression) for most of the game, this dynamic has not been explored before! And I must tell you I was NOT expecting that!! The text reads "You like the soft ones, don't ya?" which could be referring to a lot of things. But I think in this case, that it could specifically be referring to romantic partners, in which case, that is quite the flirty sentence on Gidget's account. Pair that with the memory of their intertwined hands and draw the conclusion you will....

The next image only further confirms this theory. Gidget is leaning into Genzou's ear, whispering "I can be soft..." which is, in my opinion, undeniably flirty. It also looks like their hand is tugging at his collar, or at the very least, pretty close from it. Gidget is also smirking in the picture, which only affirms this. However, the bottom text reads "or I can be..." and simply ends there. What else can Gidget be? And do we really want to know?

The next images are a sudden switch, a complete change in scenery. Genzou is still thinking of Gidget, but this is a completely different memory. Gidget isn't flirty anymore, they actually look rather angry. They are crouching near a lying Genzou and despite their face being hidden by the shadow of their hat, they are clearly disdainous. The text near them confirms the way Gidget feels. They are refusing to kill Genzou (which implies that the person pleading to be killed earlier on, was in fact Genzou from this specific memory, asking Gidget to end his life) and claim that they have gone through so much together (potentially confirms the theory of them being exes in this universe). Gidget is clearly upset by something Genzou has done and the bottom text confirms that they think Genzou deserves to feel guilty about it, which he definitely seems to. The bottom image also reveals that this is the memory of Genzou losing his eyesight. There is blood on his eyes, in the exact place where his scar currently is. Genzou is scared, terrified and he is crying. He regrets something he has done, he feels guilty and he has just turned blind. He is in so much pain that he is asking Gidget to end his life. And Gidget? They are so angry at him for what he has done that they refuse to put an end to his misery, and claim they want his guilt to make him suffer.

Here, Gidget mentions "the weight of his sins" and him being dragged "straight down to hell". It is unclear whether they are referring to a literal hell, as this is a very religious time period, (and well, Genzou has a lot to regret and furthermore, he is gay...) or whether they are referring to a metaphorical hell, which is what he is DEFINITELY going through.

The last image reveals Genzou, still lying on the floor. The blood is still on his face, he is staring into the sky, which he likely cannot see anymore. Here it can be seen that there is a gun near his hand. And his gun holder on his belt is empty. Genzou is right handed, and the gun is near his right hand. Regarding the earlier image of him trembling while holding a gun, this raises questions. Did he shoot himself in the eyes? If so, was that his actual intent? Because he doesn't seem to enjoy being blind. Or are there still key elements we're missing... On this last image, we can also clearly see that Gidget is gone, and Genzou is lying here ALL ALONE. The text reads "Don't leave me..." implying a fear of abandonment, especially after he has just lost one of his senses. But Gidget is gone. So is his eyesight. And he feels guilty about something. And his gun, his gun means something important as well. I have much to bet that THIS is the most embarrassing moment in his godforsaken life. He's all alone. He's vulnerable and exposed. He can't see anymore. He has no one anymore. And he is so guilt ridden he doesn't feel worthy of love anymore. The most embarrassing moment in Genzou's godforsaken life.

What I like the most about this chapter is that he starts focusing on that fear of being left alone, right as the image transitions to his present sick self. And Iggy being back. Ready to help and support him. You likely have medical, religious and abandonment trauma, Genzou. But Iggy will never leave you.

Anyway, does anyone think I missed anything? Those are just silly theories, I'm sure Carrot is cooking some delightful story as we speak and I can't wait to see more of it!!

note: you don't have to use your real name. I just used my user, and you can too lol

Could you tell me more about your AU, if that's okay? It sounds really interesting! :3

Sit down dear child as I shall ramble on about this W.I.P au of mine. Also, note that this is like in mid-Post OW (yeah, as I said a W.I.P)

AHEM-

So, in this small Crossover au. Nester and Easter both moved to a small town, wanting to make a fresh start. Well, Nester does. For, Easter, he does try to get used to the new life, living with Nester but still has problems with the locals. Big problems. Nester works at this shitty restaurant, to provide for the two of them.

Nester met Orlam first then Genzou. He met Orlam while working at the restaurant, having a nice small conversation here and there despite the 'invitations' Orlam was giving him. He's like that one friend you make during Adulthood. When introduced to the rest of the group, Nester felt quite welcomed and safe. HOWEVER, when Nester rambled to Easter about it, he wasn't really pleased. Especially whenever Nester talks about Iggy. Easter seemed quite annoyed whenever Nester talks about Iggy, how Iggy does this and that and Yada Yada.

With the beloved injured trio, Olie often stays in contact with Easter, as he works as a teacher in a school for blind people. Totl works at a large packaging business, despite him being half deaf. Mugwort works as a guitarist, only at some local bars. He's part of a band, which the group doesn't really appreciate him much. Mugwort does try and not let that get in his way though. Even if life keeps slamming a crowbar in his face ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ.

Totl and Mugwort rarely are in contact with Nester and Easter. Though, both do try their best but due to stress, Mental health and their work, they barely have the time to. D:

I mean, Mugwort will try and visit the two brothers here and there but that's like once a month or so. The trio hasn't met the Wobbles (the OW group), but does hear slight bits about them from Nester. Easter often complains about them.

There were a few incidents Easter had with the group, whenever meeting them. Mostly towards Genzou and Iggy, which led to Nester leaving Easter at home whenever invited to Bucks Barbeque or anywhere the wobbles were at.

I am considering trying to make a small itty bitty fanfiction bout this AU, especially when I have so many ideas for it. :3

So many. 😶

As I said before, it's heavily still in W.I.P, so there might be a few touch-ups here and there.
