[a-beautiful-automaton]

Hello! I suppose this would be a system blog diary thing? May dabble in system comics later. We don’t really have a system name, but Automaton System is kinda fun, so you can use that if you want a name.

Members!

Stellar - she/fae/faer, upbeat, did most of this LOL (the one literally writing this post), magenta

Navy - they/them, rational and logical, navy (who could have guessed)

Cen - no pronouns, just use Cen, often comforting, dark green

we’re bodily a minor, but don’t mind adults interacting with us!

feel free to send asks

we’re not bringing syscourse here, but we’re pro-endo

we’ll be using “____ talks” as tags to indicate who’s speaking! sorry if this overlaps with someone else, everything has already been done lol

we generally prefer “y’all” or “you all” rather than “you&,” but we don’t really care that much

nonhuman plural culture is wishing the mechanical headmates came pre-installed with cooling units because fuuuuuuuck this heatwave we're dying. why are none of us equipped to deal with heat 😭😭😭

This is nonhuman plural culture! We're not particularly robots but we also would like pre-installed cooling units. we are all used to the cold weather of space it's too hot out

also we hope you folks are doing well with the heat!! somehow it didn't occur to me at first that this was mentioning a heatwave i hope y'all are doing okay!!

As a psychological plural we are so very interested in metaphysical, spiritual , gateway and soulbond plurality.

Please tell us more, we'd love to know more

Nonhuman Plural Culture is trying to make picrews of everybody but then you realize picrews aren't for your nonhuman-heavy collective.

This is nonhuman plural culture! Fair enough actually, I think if picrews add more nonhuman things it would be so awesome

reblog if you're ok with your singlet friends asking you questions about plurality and/or your system

’Round & ’round the identity goes

[🌠/🕊️] "I want my wings!"

[🗝️] "I want my ball joints!"

[🎭/🕳️] "Can I have my formless being back?"

No 🫶🫶🫶

This is nonhuman plural culture! Unfortunately it may not be possible to get the formless being back :(

💚🟣🟫❤️‍🔥 for the ask game!!!

Ooo thanks for the ask!!!

💚does your system have introjects of any kind?

Yes! we have exactly 1 introject, Winter from Wings of Fire. specifically Winter between books 7 and 11 (as in after 7, but before 11).

🟣do you get frontstuck often? what do you do to try to get 'un-stuck'?

I don't think so? We're honestly not sure what constitutes being frontstuck. Plus, we can control switches pretty well.

🟫how did you pick your system name?

Our system name, Automaton system or A Beautiful Automaton, was because we misremembered the lyric "a dutiful automaton" from Human by Flavor Foley and decided it worked much better (we're not very dutiful). Plus, automaton just fits! It's like we're a mech!

❤️‍🔥are you 'out' as a system to anyone? (online friends/partners etc. count!)

We are!! We're out to a discord server made up of primarily online friends. We even made one of those friends realize they were plural by coming out, lmao.

Again thank y'all for the ask!! We like y'all's blog a lot :D

a walk on the beach B)

this doesn't rlly make sense it's just like . getting thoughts out lol

SORRY for the shit quality 😭🙏

[musithical]

we just wanted to say thanks for being so openly and unapologetically plural. And for being vocal in being nice about non-traumagenic plurals and introjects. Your community gave us the space to realize/explore our plurality, and you being nice about MCYT introjects (in general, not necessarily regarding specific ppl) made us comfortable enough to start using pluralkit. Thank you!

this is exactly why talk about it so openly. if it can help people feel more confident in just being themself, that makes it all worth it.

A Fictive Ask Game

Anyone can reblog this, we just wanted to make this to have one with questions we were more comfortable with being asked.

What is your source?

Do you have any doubles and/or sourcemates in-sys?

Is there anyone in-sys you get along with that you think your canon counterparts would get along if they ever met?

Is there anyone in-sys you get along with that you think your canon counterparts wouldn't get along if they ever met?

Is there any relationships with your sourcemates in-sys that surprised you?

What do you think of fanworks?

Does your identity (orientation, gender, pronouns) differ from source in any way?

Do you have memories from your source?

Is there anything you remember that differs from what's shown in canon?

Do you get memories if you see/read/etc. more of your source, or if there's new information about it that comes out?

What's something you like that you don't think the fandom would think you would like?

What do you think about the fandom?

Is there any ships the fandom ships with you that you like?

Is there any ships the fandom ships with you that you don't like?

Is there anyone in canon you remember liking the most?

What about anyone in canon you remember not liking the most?

Are you alterhuman in any way (therian, kintypes, hearthomes, etc)?

Does being a fictive affect your alterhumanity?

If you were explaining your source to someone, how would you explain it?

Is there anything else about being a fictive that you'd like to talk about?

[unidentified-plural-is]

unidentified plurality is using ANY excuse to cover up your symptoms and being like "oh I don't have alters" and then when you begin looking you realise "fuuuuuck"

literally any excuse tho it’s like “oh why am I hearing a voice sometimes? It must be that everyone does this to some extent” “oh why can’t I remember things? Well humans are famously awfully designed, I’m sure it’s fine” -Dean

[unidentified-plural-is]

unidentified plurality is "Did I do (thing I definitely did)?" And having another voice go "yea we did that dw abt it man" and just going "oh ok cool thanks" and NEVER EVER thinking about it again.

For us it was/is always “oh crud did I do that thing I needed to do??” And then ten minutes minimum of agonizing over it before we either get a little snippet of a memory that confirms it or nothing happens and we just go about our day worried about that thing -Ry
