A headcanon I have for a Moondrop that is stand-offish at first to Y/N! More under the cut~

Been thinking about this but I like to think that Moondrop only speaks in full sentences to children and Sun, and keeps his speech limited around security/maintenance/human workers, including Y/N.

He only speaks in hushed tones with Sun and detests when Y/N is around, he thinks there doesn't need to be a human daycare attendant when he can do the job just fine with Sun. (P.S. I like the whole them being two seperate robots route)

Y/N tries to be friendly but Moon only acknowledges them somewhat on the job, and other times completely tunes them out afterwards. It's his distrusting nature due to the only adults he's interacted with having not treated him as anything other than 'Machine'.

I also thought of him and Sun sharing a code that allows them to essentially telepathically speak to one another, it's amusing from an outside perspective to see them have a staredown for five minutes and then Sun blurts out "THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!! :D"

The silent arguements that could/would ensue of them both cleaning up and Sun shouting "FOR THE LAST TIME I SAID I WAS SORRY FOR THAT" and Moon throwing a (soft) object at Sun.

Overtime I do believe Moon would warm up to Y/N, but he has gotten used to only having Sun around as a constant companion that he tries his way of "speaking" to Y/N and Y/N being utterly confused as to why he's been staring at them blankly for an uncomfortable amount of minutes.

I thought of this while in the shower and we all know that's the best time to think up scenarios with your faves lol

It becomes less frequent of a habit the more they interact with one another, but he'll still do it on purpose to tease Y/N or when they're having a disagreement.

OR there's the other possible headcanon that him and Sun can use "infrasound" that's a low enough pitch that human ears can't pick up on, that's also a fun thing to think about.

Blue Honey Context!

[ In reference to this; (Loser's Corner) where I mentioned it but not really in the tags ]

Fair note; There's context that needs context that needs context! so please bear with me here in my rambling! You're getting some of my LOOOOORE and it might be alittle long! Thus i'll make it a read more uwu

So let's get started! With this;

The "Bee's" you encounter on the Hex are not natives but instead mass-produced badniks called Galaga Bee's (obviously, since when you hit them they give you Animal Friends (Flickys/Cluckys/etc)). There's a lot of 'native' critters that i've made to flush out the Hex since the most you encounter that aren't badniks are bigger Beasts (Sandworms, Swamp Crocs, etc); the Beewasps are just one of them! (In fact theres three variants/palettes depending on the Biome the bees live in!) I go more in depth about all of the Hex Inhabitants in my lore bible, I promise some of you'll get to see that at some point!!!!

When Eggman got to the Hex / the D6's territories and introduced/spread badniks everywhere, alot of the smaller native critters fled in confusion or fear and don't return until after the events of LW / after the 6 (7) clean up what was left behind by the egghead; which is why none are seen during the course of the game except the usual "Animal Friends".

------

Context on top of context on top of Context-

Zenyx is a BeastKeeper, meaning she has a much higher, natural affinity for taming or befriending Beasts and Critters than any of the others; she loves all the critters, but the bee's are just too cute!

Back when Zenyx first joined the group, they were finding things she could do in each biome to “help out”, since she couldn’t be seen or known about outside the group/territories (Offcolor issues) and her own Biome is basically useless. The best she could do was beast/critter related, such as sheep handling in Windy Hill for example, since she was just naturally better at it than the others. When she was introduced to the Sandwood Hive (aka the second stage in Desert Ruins), she immediately fell in love with the little beewasp fluffbutts! And they didn’t seem to mind her at all, even getting extra cooperative after she managed to befriend the Queen of that Hive. Doing so allowed her to collect various honeys from them- so so so much easier than the big silly doofus that’s Zomom, who the bees weren’t as fond of (at the time) due to his size, loudness, and bottomless appetite.

At some point, Zenyx comes across the Blue Honey, and the first person she thought to share it with/give it to was Zom! (Technically theres a few different Honeys that vary in color, it all depends on what the bees ingest to make said batches. Certain flora or fruit may effect tastes and resulting colors, but the vivid Blue Honey that she jared at the time was from the beewasps' going off and ingesting sugary sweets left aside by a nearby (out-of-territory) market setting, giving the resulting Honey a more candy-like sweetness- trust me this all makes sense!) The first few times she gifted the Blue to him, he accidentally kept eating the jars too- 😂 he doesnt anymore though dw! He knows better now and consumes the honey a lot slower now.

----

Finally! Blue Context!

Zenyx likes being food buddies with him, and as such they have little or silly easy names/nicknames for certain things- just between them (sometimes Zazz wiggles his way into their food vocab tho). Which results in both of them just calling the Blue Honey “Blue!” since it’s one of the very few edible things that are such a vivid hue of it.

So during LW, when Zom comments on Sonic’s color [ “Blue! My favorite flavor” ] he’s actually being serious- bc Sonic's color reminds him of the Honey! We’re told his favorite food is meat... and bc Blue Steak is a thing, (its essentially just Extra Extra Rare... nothing to do with the actual color)- It's completely possible thats what he was talking about- BUT to be less morbid and bc the idea of Zom having an inside joke with Zenyx about calling the blue honey just "Blue!" (and him thinking about it just by seeing the color elsewhere) is way cuter/funnier! I like to think his favorite flavor in general is more candy-like or sweets... 👉👈 So during that moment when Sonic/the Player probably think Zom’s just being silly/stupid or something, the whole “Blue” thing now has proper meaning (at least for me!). --- That being said, in the Losers Corner drawing; Zenyx gifted the jar of Blue Honey to Zom as a reward for trying (the tourney) so he didnt feel so bad about losing (bc she cares)- before she conked out next to him to catch some Zzz's of course.

--- I rambled about the whole Blue Honey thing FOREVER ago with the lovely @galionne-speeding (-vibin/-digin) (luv u lilllyyy) and we both agree it's adorable and mayhaps adds just a smidge of depth to Zomom even if it's silly; I swear if I didn’t ramble off most of these little things with her, at least half or more of them would be lost bc I’m brainless at keeping notes sometime-

And thats the Blue Honey Context ramble! 👍✨

hihi!! sorry if this is weird kr whatever but I just realized I'm a system!! but the issue is I know next to nothing about roles and headspace(?) and everything. how do you find that stuff out? is there a beginners guide?? pls there's silly little people in my head and idk what to do about it -☁️🌱 (tag with ☁️🌱 so I can find this ask again pls? <3)

We can definitely try! Each system is different, so our experiences might also be very different. We're also still learning about what being a system entails ourselves (as we like to say, we're not a doctor, we're a patient lol).

Anyways! As we understand it, roles describe what part each alter plays in a system and can also just provide insight for others about that alter. They're not mutually exclusive or rigid, so they can overlap and even change over time.

An important distinction is between the ANPs and the EPs, that's a good place to start.

ANPs are "Apparently Normal Parts". Otherwise known as alters who take care of day to day life and usually have little to know recollection of trauma. They may have high amnesia and identify heavily with the body. A common alter type to fall under this are 'hosts'. In our system, I (Cat🐈‍⬛️) am the host and I have alot of amnesia around trauma. I'm an ANP.

EPs are "Emotional Parts". These are alters who hold onto trauma, are usually formed to keep the trauma hidden from the system, or alters who have been formed to handle specific experiences. A good example of this in our system is Ren✨️, who is a trauma holder and split to help with that specific trauma.

From there they can be placed into a bunch of other roles. Keep in mind, alters tend to be fully formed personalities and may not take to kindly to being placed in boxes. Assigning certain roles takes cooperation, communication, and time. All of which are difficult for some systems to form, don't worry if it doesn't happen immediately and don't try and rush it.

The headspace is generally what systems use to refer to the place alters exist when they are not fronting. It can be a safe place that became internalized. Each systems headspace will look different, and some don't have one at all! Ours for a very long time was just a black empty void, but over time it's changed to a black empty void but with a library.

At the moment, sysblr is very focused on endogenic vs. traumagenic. (Note we are neutral on this discourse and prefer to stay at minimum 10ft away at all times, please dont ask us our opinions on it cause it stresses us out) So alot of our sources will be outside of tumblr blogs.

Essentially endogenic systems are systems formed without trauma, while traumagenic is formed from either an incident or long term related trauma (very simplified). Keep in mind, systems are usually formed to protect from trauma and you should not go looking for evidence of trauma without guided assistance from a professional such as through therapy. Honestly, my advice is to avoid this discourse until you get a better grasp on being a system. (It can be kinda a cesspool and just not a safe place for new systems)

My best advice is to try and set up communication with your system. This can be a very long process for some but it's a good step.

Anyways long post rambling aside, I asked a few other systems to help me gather some good resources for you. I hope these can be some bit of help! Note: alot of these resources are dedicated to DID specific systems but can also be useful to other types of systems. CW: there may be triggering topics mentioned, please read with caution. Here's some that we all gathered together:

A Book about living with alters (explains headspace and developing communication):

Book describing dissociation:

Blog full of multiple coping mechanisms to help with being a system. (They also have a list of more resources on their blog)

An online list of common Alter Roles and Terminology (not conclusive and some are outdated):
