Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
2, 8, 20 for the ask game :3
2 - Does the host have any other role
Well, we have multiple hosts, so if our permafronters count, then I’m the core/body (more used to core bc we’ve been using it for years), Leo is just a permafronter but sometimes he’s a caretaker when little are front, Reed is a permafronter and considers 🌾self a syskid [🐑’s 17 but considers 🪻self a kid], Kessler, whose role is a mystery even to us [we don’t even know if he’s a permafronter or not] and our current non-permafronter hosts [our hosts switch a lot] would be Victory, who’s a prosecutor, a (possible) anger holder, and a religious headmate, and Nathan, who’s an anxiety holder, and HABIT and RABBIT who aren’t comfy with me sharing their roles, but they have other roles.
8 - Most common role in system
Ough… not sure… we have a high headcount so it’s hard to tell but I think we have a large amount of anger and anxiety holders and quite a few syskids/littles.
20 - Do you have a system name and how did you decide on it
We have a system name! In short, it’s [currently] The Song, The Sea, and The Stars, or just Song Sea Stars if you wanna go even shorter, but our full name is kind of a scene? It’s The Old Song Still Echoes Through These Looping Halls. The Ocean Below Us is Silent and Dark. The Stars Outside Mock Us With Their Laughter.
The name came cause our old one was associated with bad memories (as it tends to be when we switch names) and it has some surface level meaning and some deeper meaning. Surface level, we like music, we like the ocean, we like space. I’m gonna dissect our full sys name and the references/meaning below
The Old Song - Bendy and The Ink Machine reference because it’s been a spinterest for years
Still Echoes - Echoey spaces are so yumby for us, also the barest hint of a reference to Dust and Echoes because Halo spin
Through these Looping Halls - Discreet reference to We Went Back, a kinda shitty horror game we’ve been autisming over since we found out about it (I’d ramble if anyone wanted to listen)
The Ocean Below Us - Thalassophobia/General ocean enjoying and also the thought of those glass bridges but above the ocean, we love the thought but we could never-
Is Silent and Dark - Nyctophobia mention also the idea of a calm sea still being too pitch dark to see into it. Also vaguely thinking about ink ocean because opaque, and the eeriness of an ocean or large body of water being still, the calm before the storm, the creeping dread that something is coming from underneath
The Stars Outside - Omfg I love space so much like space is so cool and it’s just ough /pos, also vague reference to We Went Back because it’s set inside a spaceship-esque thing and there are windows
Mock us With Their Laughter - I kinda just thought it sounded cool and I needed something to finish off with-
