Ask A System!

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

Ohhhh we feel this!!

We're fictive heavy, so there's a loooot of songs from our various sources that bring a whole range of reactions! Even my source was a music video (Pokemon Gotcha lmao), so it's a sure-fire way to get me to front! I get euphoria from specific songs since I just,, generally really love Pokemon!

While, on the other hand, our Emmet has a very (verrrry) picky ear with certain songs from his source. He likes the original soundtrack compared to newer themes 'cus he's more source compliant!

Also!! We have a Sans in our system who flat out doesn't associate himself with Meglovania. Like, he doesn't have any positive or negative feelings about his "theme." But, when we've asked him about it, he says he doesn't mind the song. He just doesn't think it's his. However, we have noticed that he does react to the Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans! The rest of the system has collectively decided that that song is his official theme-song haha! It just fits him better; it's goofy and fun just like he is!

Sometimes, our Sans and Chara chill out together, listening to the UT/DR soundtracks for bonding time.

Overall, I think music helps solidify all of us one way or another. Even our non-fictives have certain songs that resonate so deeply that they zoom to the front to listen. (We have mini dance parties with a few songs-- its always suuuper distracting to whoever's fronting, but that makes it even MORE fun hehheh).

Hello, I’m Arceus from ☁️’s system. Today I needed to listen to my theme song and then it got me wondering. How do other fictives react to their own theme songs? For me personally it is a good way to feel myself more in this human body. It’s also another way for me to calm down if my favorite songs don’t work. Since I have a few themes to my name in the source not all of them are enjoyable. Take the original theme from the DS games. Was never a big fan of that version and it was the only theme I had for a long time. I admit, we never liked listening to that one since it’s too awkward to listen to. However, this year I get two theme remakes and both are enjoyable. I prefer the Pokémon Legends Arceus version of my theme the most.

Hello, Arceus (a few headmates in our system have been playing through your source recently). I personally get anxiety from hearing music from Disco Elysium.

Ralsei loves the soundtracks for both Deltarune and Undertale, and hearing music from fluffs source invigorates and excites them. It will also draw soft to the front, so if the body hears any UT/DR music playing, chances are, Ralsei will front.

As far as I understand, hearing Kirby music makes MK feel nostalgic, and perhaps a bit lonely and wistful. Knight has different connotations tied to different songs, however, so his reactions may vary.

We’ll pose this to our followers - how do you feel upon hearing music from your source?

Thank you for reaching out, Arceus. We hope you and your system are well.

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

mhmmm funky colors

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

King Arthur Flour is getting boycotted—after conservatives discover it has a baking program for people of color

King Arthur Baking Company is coming under fire for holding a competition exclusively for people of color-owned businesses and brands.

According to the company’s website, “Baking Pitchfest 2024” offers a product edition geared toward baking brands founded and owned by people of color across the U.S., and a bakery edition, which focuses on people of color-owned bakeries in the Northeast and Washington state. “Half mentorship, half competition, Baking Pitchfest is an accelerator program designed to foster greater inclusivity and creativity in the baking world by providing equitable opportunities for People of Color entrepreneurs,” the website states, adding that winners will receive financial support, mentorship, and exposure. But the initiative has generated outrage amongst conservatives online, who have blasted the competition eligibility rules as discriminatory against white people.

One X user critical of King Arthur Baking’s contest posted an email she received from the company in response to her complaining. “Helping build joyful, equitable communities that celebrate diversity is an important part of who we are as a company,” the email states, later adding: “We love baking with anyone and everyone. Our simple expectation is that everyone show respect for one another.”
