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.
