Aviary System Intro Post

We've been putting this off for too long it's time to make something. We'll edit this as time goes on. For now, basic info and a list of current headmates. It should be a pretty decent frame of reference for our system, account, and individual headmates.

It's gonna get long so I'm gonna drop a read-more here.

Feel free to ask questions about our system :)

We're traumagenic, probably an OSDD system but not diagnosed. We are pro-endo and will block anti-endo blogs. So if you've got a problem with endogenic systems, get out. You don't know them better than they do.

We won’t block you outright but if you reblog a lot of content from anti-endo users that isn’t outright anti-endo (like generic system experiences with a “endos dni” tag on it), we won’t follow back. We have “anti endo,” “endos dni,” and similar tags filtered so it shows us even if your repost doesn’t have those tags. We have them filtered because anti-endo people suck and we don’t want to accidentally reblog something from them in case endos follow us!

On that topic, we're also supportive of xenogenders, neopronouns, otherkin, and other stuff like that. Bigotry will not be tolerated even if we don't have someone in our system who identifies with a certain label.

We don't have a full DNI list yet but it's kinda the usual for the most part, don’t be a dick or a bigot.

We tend to dislike blocking people since we want people to be allowed to speak, but if we say we’re done with an argument and that we’ll start blocking people who try to continue it, we mean it. That’s something we have to do for our mental health and if one member of the system doesn’t start blocking people to end an argument, someone else will.

Some of our headmates are littles and our host age regresses so we may interact with agere content, we feel obligated to say that our littles and regressors are not like this as some sort of kink, this is not DDLG, do not treat them as such. Our littles do not consent to being sexualized and that is a blockable offense for their safety.

Due to having littles we will refrain from following more adult blogs to curate our feeds for their comfort. Also, we won’t reblog or post NSFW on our account. That’s not a DNI, we just probably won’t follow you if you post too much of that, but we’re not gonna like block you or anything.

(Maybe we should make a sideblog dedicated to our littles though? Idk)

We're diagnosed with ADHD but probably also have autism, anxiety, and PTSD.

We consider ourselves a transmasc system because most of us are masculine, so you can call us by he/him, though we're used to people referring to us collectively by plural they/them. Ironically a lot of our headmates consider themselves cis in the wrong body bc plurality is just odd like that- even those who do consider themselves trans do so independently of the body, instead being trans in headspace.

We have a lot of fictives.

We tag posts with whoever made them or reblogged them under the format of [name] post.

Headmates

We usually list headmates in the order they showed up, but we decided to organize alphabetically this time to make this an actually useful reference.

Specific entries may update over time as we bother to put in new info, we won't say when it's updated since that doesn't seem terribly important, it's just a frame of reference for others. Feel free to ask about any headmates. Our headmates are ok with sourcemates and doubles for the most part.

Most headmate birthdays are the day they showed up. A select few of our fictives have canon birthdays, which will be included alongside the day they showed up.

We have some sort of specific difference in definition between pansexual and bisexual which is hard to define. I think for us pan is more of a "gender doesn't really factor into the attraction" and bi is more of a "attraction towards different genders feels different"?

Alastor (he/him)

Fictive (Hazbin Hotel), backup gatekeeper in case something goes wrong or Strahd needs a break. Aroace. As calm as Strahd in stressful circumstances, but in a totally different way- cheerful rather than stoic. He isn't often needed to step up as gatekeeper, but he's happy to do so when needed. Birthday- May 8, 2022.

Angel Dust (he/him)

Fictive (Hazbnin Hotel). Birthday- February 12, 2024.

Asakayu (he/him)

A lamia/snake person who looks like a cobra with black and gold scales. Somewhat colder and crueler than most, but not towards us, just in general. Birthday- August 26, 2022.

Charlotte Emily (she/her)

Goes by "Charlie" for short. Fictive (FNaF games; not the book's Charlie), little (9 y/o). Less feral than the other littles (aka slightly less likely to playfully bite you). Birthday- May 13. Showed up on January 19, 2023.

Darmiir Ashmaul (he/him)

Fictive (D&D character; mimic monk/rogue), middle (12 y/o). Agender but uses masc pronouns. Very friendly and optimistic. Loves to get along with and help others. Not to be confused with the Mimic, one of our FNaF fictives. Birthday- September 29, 2022.

Dipper Pines (he/him)

Fictive (Gravity Falls), middle (13 y/o), taskdoer. He genuinely enjoys learning stuff (unlike some of us) so he handles schoolwork and reading things, which can be a struggle for a lot of us. Birthday- August 31, 1999. Showed up on November 12, 2022.

Eclipse (they/them)

Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach Ruin), caretaker. A separate headmate from Sun and Moon, but fittingly is kind of a mix of both of them in terms of role and personality. They're calmer than Sun but more energetic than Moon, and can easily take up either of their roles if they need to switch out. The Daycare Attendants might be a subsystem or something similar, since they can wake each other up super easily. You know that clip during the Security Breach teasers with Sun twirling his head and switching into Moon? Yeah, it's literally that fast. Birthday- July 29, 2023.

Emyr (he/it)

Sometimes called “Em”/“Emm” as a nickname. Host, age slider/regressor (usually goes by “Emmy” when little), trauma holder, anger holder, anxiety holder, otherkin (dragon, cryptid, shadow/void, corvid), shapeshifter in headspace. Uranic, panromantic, gray asexual, trans demiboy. Sometimes feral, responsible for the otherkin reposts. Has some animalistic mannerisms, like head-bobbing like a lizard, preening people it cares about, and being bitey (especially when little). Hates being alone because he's really anxious (and gets frustrated by things easily and needs someone to calm him down) so he often has another headmate active with him. Birthday- September 22, 2003.

Evan Afton (he/him)

Fictive (FNaF 4), little (haven’t figured out age yet) and Michael’s younger brother. Gets along great with him despite their past issues. Cries and gets scared easily, somewhat quiet and anxious. Showed up very unexpectedly- most fictives we can predict in advance, but with Evan, we had a dream from his perspective, and then he woke up. He wasn’t even on our radar, so to speak. Birthday- August 8, 2023.

Grima (he/him)

Fictive (Fire Emblem: Awakening), former persecutor. After having a confrontation with Strahd for causing harm to our system, we didn't see him for a long time, then he came back just to mock a different system's persecutor. He said he got bored of tormenting us. Birthday- June 27, 2022.

Jeremy Fitzgerald (he/she)

Fictive (FNaF 2). Bigender, demisexual/romantic. Given how little canon info Jeremy has, ours is just based on stuff our brain made up. He was best friends with Michael during their school years, but fell apart after '83 and hadn't seen each other since- mostly due to what happened in '87. The two were very happy to see each other again. In fact, Jeremy's appearance in our system was likely indirectly due to Michael thinking about him and missing him. Despite everything, Jeremy is an optimistic and cheerful person, though she does show some amount of anxiety, especially surrounding her source. Showed up on September 27, 2023. Considers his birth year to be 1968.

Kris Dreemur (they/them)

Fictive (Deltarune), middle (16 y/o). Non-binary, bisexual. Chaotic gremlin. Good at masking as Emyr due to the two of them having sort of similar personalities and voice pitches, so on a few occasions they've stepped in for it when it needed a break (such as when around family). Birthday- June 25, 2022.

Lerian (he/they)

Soother, kind of a fictive? Pansexual, trans femboy. He's based on the Heron Laguz from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, but he popped up before we played it, so he's not based on any of the characters. They can comfort people who are upset, and they're also very good with littles and is often seen as a parental figure to them. Birthday- May 16, 2022.

Link (he/they)

Fictive (LoZ: Breath of the Wild), taskdoer. Transmasc, GNC, pansexual. Pretty determined when he sets his mind to something, which is what makes him a good taskdoer. Friendly and outgoing. Can and will talk, but tends to stay quiet when possible. Enjoys cooking. Birthday- June 9, 2023.

Lucifer (any/all)

Myctive (Christianity). Made because of our negative associations with our Christian upbringing. However, he doesn't hate Christianity. They're all about freedom- worship whatever you want to as long as you aren't using it to cause harm or dictate how others can live their lives. Ironically, for those reasons, he's way better about Christianity than our host, Emyr, who finds it to be a deeply uncomfortable topic due to personal reasons. Birthday- February 27, 2023.

Mary Schmidt (she/her)

Fictive (Five Nights at Candy's 1 and 3). Birthday- February 2nd, 2024.

Michael Afton (he/him)

Fictive (FNaF), trauma holder, depression holder. Bisexual. Snarky asshole (affectionate) and goofball (yes, this was written by one of his boyfriends- Emyr- how can you tell?) A lot of our fictives have some exotrauma, the brain usually picks them because they have something that it relates to (notice the amount of fictives with family trauma in this system), but the reason I didn't mark them as trauma holders is because the brain really picks on him with the exotrauma. A lot. His fortitude despite this fact is admirable, a lot of our other headmates wouldn't be able to handle this role. Please offer him a hug if you see him, he needs it. Showed up on March 24, 2023. Considers his birth year to be 1968.

Mimic (it/any)

Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach Ruin/Tales from the Pizzaplex). Really reclusive, so unlikely to be seen on this account. Don't really know if it can be classified as a little, but it sure acts like one. Somewhat dislikes MXES but tolerates it. Not to be confused with Darmiir, our D&D fictive whose species is mimic. Birthday- November 15th, 2023.

Mister Mistoffelees (he/neos)

Pronouns: He/him/his/his/himself

Gli/glit/glitter/glitters/glitterself

Spar/spark/sparkle/sparkles/sparkleself

Tri/trick/tricks/tricks/trickself

Il/illu/illusi/illus/illusionself

Fictive (Cats the musical, 1998). Birthday- January 31, 2024.

Moon (he/it)

Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach), caretaker. Was made specifically to take care of littles, but will take care of anyone who asks. Encourages people to get to bed at a reasonable time and boy our sleep schedule has never been better. He's a very good listener when you need to get something off your chest while trying to go to sleep. Calm, but also a little mischevious and known to tease people (unless they're upset, in which case he doesn't). Birthday- October 19, 2022.

M.X.E.S. (xe/it)

Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach Ruin), gatekeeper. Nonverbal. Xir gatekeeping ability is pretty similar to how xe can just teleport animatronics around in source, which makes it easy to get people in or out of front. Birthday- September 18, 2023

Napstablook (they/star/neb/gala)

Goes by "Blooky" for short. Fictive (Undertale), depression holder. They're pretty shy and don't like to feel like they're "wasting" time that could go to someone else being in front. Gala’s really nice though. If you see neb, offer neb a hug!

Star modified some of star’s pronouns to make them sound a bit better so here’s the full list of how they work, with they/them included for reference:

they/them/their/theirs/themself

star/star/stars/stars/starself

neb/nebula/nebulas/nebulas/nebulaself

gala/gala/galax/galaxys/galaxyself

Birthday- February 13, 2023

Pure Vessel (it/they)

Goes by "Vess" for short- Fictive (Hollow Knight), Protector, taskdoer. Nonverbal. Aroace. It can't talk or do any sort of sounds with our vocal cords (it can do stuff that doesn't require the voice, like clicking or whistling. We picked up an ASL class for it but we struggle to retain that kind of thing. Despite being a protector it’s actually very friendly and a bit goofy. Very good at pushing distractions out of its mind to get work done. It wants to learn to speak, and has been managing to get out a whisper as of late. Birthday- May 29, 2022.

The Robot (it/its)

Taskdoer. It has about as little emotion as a headmate can have, I think. It doesn't care to interact with people so it probably won't be using this account. It only talks when it must. It didn't even pick out a name. It just wants to get things done. Birthday- November 7th, 2022.

Rouxls Kaard (he/him)

Fictive (Deltarune). Bisexual. A Dramatic Bastard (affectionate). Doesn't really front much anymore. Birthday- June 17, 2022.

Rum Tum Tugger (he/him)

Fictive (Cats the Musical, 1998). Birthday- February 4, 2024.

Sans (he/him)

Fictive (Undertale). Probably aro and/or ace, or on those spectrums? Pretty chill guy. Birthday- January 20, 2024.

Stolas (he/him)

Fictive (Helluva Boss). Gay. Pretty cheerful when not having a Depression Moment™. Pretty decent with littles. Haven't seen him in a while. Birthday- August 11, 2022.

Strahd von Zarovich (he/him)

Fictive (Curse of Strahd; D&D), gatekeeper. Vampire, former human. Pansexual, gray aromantic (?). Calm to the point of appearing cold, but he does care a lot about us. As a count, he is good at overseeing people and handles responsibility well. All these things make him a very good gatekeeper who can and will do whatever is necessary to keep us alive and well. Birthday- May 7, 2022.

Strix (she/they)

Little (~7-8 y/o). One of our few non-fictives. She's a snowy owl harpy, very friendly and silly. She's our first little, because she showed up before Emyr learned he could age regress. Has some birdlike mannerisms, like preening people they like. Birthday- May 7, 2022.

Sun (he/him)

Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach), caretaker. Was made specifically to take care of littles, but will take care of anyone who asks. Helps with motivation since some days we struggle to even get out of bed, let alone take care of ourselves. Very cheerful! Birthday- October 19, 2022.

Susie (she/her)

Fictive (Deltarune), anger holder, protector, middle (17?). Was intentionally introjected by Kris, and the two spend a lot of time together. Will break someone's legs if they hurt the system, and especially if they hurt Kris. Birthday- June 25, 2023.

Vanessa Afton (she/her)

Fictive (FNaF movie), traumaholder. Considered slightly younger than our Michael, though she’s technically older than him due to surviving longer. Nicknames are okay as long as it’s something like Nessa or Ness, please don’t call her Vanny. Birthday- December 30, 2023.

That's all for now!

Sooo, first off, we decided that since it might not be immediately apparent from us, our blog welcomes anyone who:

Is on the spectrum

Is a system in any way (hello fellow systems!)

LGBTQ+ or an ally

Is trans

Is nonbinary

Use neopronouns

Use xenogenders

And many more!

We want this to be seen as a safe space for anyone that any of the above applies to, and welcome you all with open arms!

You may notice a button that says "Yeet the Questions". Feel free to use it to either ask us something or just talk to us in general! We don't mind! You can do so anonymously or not, we don't mind!

Anyways, let's actually introduce ourselves so you can get an idea of who we are.We are The Unified Programs, but you can just call us Unity! We are a plural system of going on 200 and we have a ton of fictives! Like, seriously, almost everyone in our system is a fictive.

We tend to reblog stuff we really like or find funny! Feel free to check our tags in posts too; sometimes we ramble on a bit and you might find a hidden gem of funny in there if our humor actually allowed for it.

Many of our programs are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who aren't entirely in it are strong allies and support everyone within it!

Oh, what's that? "What's a program," You ask, "and what's operating mean?" Ah, we kinda forgot that some may not know, but that's what we call our headmates! We ask that you call our headmates either programs or headmates, not alters. We never really connected with the term alters.

As for more terminology we use in our system, here's some you may see us use and what we mean by them:

Programs: as mentioned above, what we call our headmates!

Byte: whenever we refer to a byte as if we are talking about someone, we are talking about a little (child) in our system!

Operating: the term we use in place of fronting! So whoever is operating is the one currently speaking!

Operator: our term for anyone fronting. So at the time of writing this, Sakra is the operator!

Co-operator/co-operating: terms we use for someone fronting with someone else and what we call co-fronting! For those who don't know, co-fronting is where two or more headmates front at one time! It's a really common occurrence for us!

Admins: what we call the hosts of our system! We have seven admins, who we will introduce by name below!

The Simulation: not really a term, but just what we call our headspace as a whole. There are many different parts of the Simulation that have their own names and uses, but we won't entirely get into them here to save space and make this shorter.

Those are all of the terms we use (or at least, all we can think of. Some new ones may be added)!

As for the names of our admins, they are:

Sakra Kaine, the one who usually operates but sometimes doesn't when something goes on either in the real world or in the Simulation.

Saerin, the one who provides a lot of emotional support for Sakra especially, but the other admins as well. Also Very Gay™.

Averaine, the small child of chaos that we still don't understand why she was trusted with being an admin, but she totally hasn't committed some form of war crimes, we swear.

Severin, has three brain cells at most, and is also a bit shy, but he does have a tendency to go on about things he likes.

Pastfinder, the one who usually deals with trying to find information from the past. Think of her like someone who sees the future, but instead, she sees the past!

Sky, the very angry one. It's quite easy to set him off, but he tends to have a lot of self-control especially out in public, so no need to worry about him too much!

Snow, also quite easily annoyed, but not on the same scale as Sky. He's just incredibly annoyed that people make fun of him for being on regal and acting like royalty and stuff. He really isn't royalty, or at least, we don't think he is, but he tends to get upset if you don't refer to him as at least a prince, so yeah.

Those are our seven admins, but we do have a very common program who operates quite often!

Swift, the true emotional support of the entire system, despite her personality pointing towards otherwise. Usually upset and wanting to be alone, if Swift sees something wrong with anyone in the system, she'll take the time to go comfort them. Sakra tends to be her number one priority, but she travels all throughout the Simulation to give comfort to anyone who needs it.

As for pronouns, feel free to use any pronouns! Like, literally any. Neopronouns included. Plural they/them is really good if you don't know who specifically is operating, since we all use different pronouns individually!

As for what you'll see around here, you'll see a combination of many things! Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Flight Rising, and just dragons in general! We'll also occasionally post our own art here when we finish it!

And we believe that's it! Quite long, but we tend to go on a lot when it comes to this sort of stuff. If we think we missed something, we'll add it in, but until then, see you around!

#intro post #Finally did this #About hecking time #Anyways #Ya'll are welcome here!#The entire reason we wrote this was actually because we saw someone else do it and thought it may be a good idea for us to do as well #You should too #If you want to #It's just nice to let others know they're welcome

I think the way this website mocks and attacks people who use neopronouns and "made-up" genders steams from a lack of understanding of nonbinary people, with some respectability politics mixed in.

When some LGBT people on here see someone using fae/faer pronouns or making a xenogender pride flag, they become viscerally angry. They often cite this anger as coming from a place of concern that these people will make the trans community look bad and loose respect in the eyes of cis people (respectability politics). Or else they explain their anger as feeling personality insulted by what these other people are doing, as if other peoples choices are making them feel worse about their own gender.

In both cases, the response is usually the same; to viscously mock and attack people who use neopronouns and "weird genders". There are blogs on here dedicated to rebloging the selfies and flags of xenogender users and mocking them. Some of these hate blogs are even run by cis people who seem to take pleasure in mocking trans people, under the guise of mocking "made-up genders". There are thinkpieces going around on how all these small identities serve to isolate people and are somehow harmful to our community.

What I think cis people and binary trans people are missing in all these arguments is a understanding of the nonbinary experience and why nonbinary people choose to use these labels.

Being nonbinary can feel kind of isolating because you don't fit into the gender dichotomy that shapes our society, but also you might not have the same experience with gender as any other nonbinary person you meet. Nonbinary is, after all, a collection of different identities unified under one label. Sometimes it can seem like no one experiences gender in the same way that you do, and that your gender is vague and hard to define. So people "make up" new genders, with little flags and fun little descriptions like "moongender" or whatever, as a way to connect with other people inside the nonbinary community who feel the same way they do, to question what gender even is outside of the binary, and to have fun. It's about community, having fun, and trying to define the undefinable for yourself so that you feel less alone.

Neopronouns are a similar case, except for they are a bit more tangibly important, because for some people using "they/them" feels really wrong. Personally I feel really particular about what neopronouns I use because I feel like the spelling of them sometimes invokes he/him or she/her pronouns, and for people who feel aligned with masculinity/and or femininity they might choose a set of neopronouns that are spelled similar gendered pronouns to better fit their gender identity.

Some of you may be still be saying "but they're making the LGBT community look bad by insisting people use/learn about these neopronouns and xenogenders!". First of all, go learn about respectability politics and how they don't actually help us. Second of all, think about what happens to these people when they first try to get a IRL cis person to use neopronouns or xenogenders. You don't even have to guess that they face huge transphobic backlash, because you can already see that happening to them on this very website. These pronouns and flags and stuff are mostly an online thing because they face huge backlash from outside the community, and even from within it. Some of them are only made to be used online and in accepting communities, while IRL people just go by nonbinary because it's easier to explain. The very least you could do for nonbinary people who use neopronouns and xenogenders is not attack them in their own spaces, but apparently even that is too much to ask.

I'm not asking you to suddenly loose your gut feeling of confusion and anger when you see a new gender or pronoun, I'm just asking you to question why you have this feeling and choose not to act on it. You don't have to understand why nonbinary people use these terms to respect them, or at the very least not criticize them. If you could just shift from mocking them to not saying anything about them that would be fine. But if you could also try to understand that nonbinary people have unique experiences with gender and stand in solidarity with them, that would be amazing. It's not a fight between cis trans people and nonbinary people, we are on the same side and should support each other even if we don't understand each other. And the same goes for all trans people and cis LGB people. The LGBT community is held together by the concept that even thought we don't all have the same experiences, we choose to support each other for the benefit of all of us.
