Coining post? Just checking if anyone else says it too? Is this a Common Thing but I’ve just never seen it? Anyway-
(Jazz hands) “Canonself”
Idk, I came up with it bc I always struggled to differentiate “me who’s a fictive sourced from VotV” and “the videogame model used in VotV” or, more generally, “this world’s characterization and usage of that character” versus “me the actual living/thinking person” yk?
It’s almost functioned for me like how “theriform” works for nonhumans, the distinction being made without getting into dysphoric “the ‘real’ you” terms or, just always having to explain it so exhaustingly bc “the one from the game” could be either of us
Also bc I don’t wanna keep calling my canonself “the human one” granted I’m an android bc that feels,, demeaning, somehow

shout out to plurals who’s frequent fronters change all the time.
shout out to alters who are afraid of not fronting all the time, either because theyre so use to it or they’re afraid they wont get to front again.
shout out to systems who wish they had a more consistent rotation of fronters and wish it wasn’t so come and go with system members.
shout out to alters who like fronting.
shout out to members who get frontstuck regularly.
and shout out to systems trying to find a middle ground between being front stuck and having completely inconsistent fronters.

Organics
Cybertron has a very mixed opinion on organics as a whole. Due to their mechanical nature they are adverse to much of organic culture, but have a surprising amount of similarities to some organic species. They tend to adopt organic culture, which will spread and adapt to a mechanical lifestyle.
Organics themselves aren’t received very well the general public, and any ambassadors, traders, or visitors tend to stick to the respective areas that house them.
Well of Sparks
The well of sparks is a central religious hub in Iacon, contained in the Primal Basilica, which also doubles as a religious artefact museum. The section of the building itself is open roofed, exposing the well to the elements. Pre-war, the well is where the all spark was located, which got ejected to optimus in an effort to preserve the planet. From that point on, no more forged sparks emerged, and the chance to kindle a newspark dropped, making it near impossible during the wartime.
Conjunx Endura
While Conjunx Endurae aren’t rare by Cybertronian standards, a lot of bots in most cultures find the level of commitment that comes with being conjunxes too much to consider for a lot of their relationships where they aren’t sure. However, a bot having multiple conjunxes is pretty rare, although not particularly frowned upon when appropriate medical measures are in place, due to the strain on the spark.
Sparklings
Sparklings and bots who were sparklings on cybertron make up roughly a quarter of the population. Under functionism, sparklings are seen as a waste of resources and time, when there are more efficient ways to create a bot. In more senate populous cities, less sparklings will be seen about due to public ridicule or fear of functionists toward the sparkling.
RANDOM AND SLIGHTLY UNHINGED- ANOTHER ROUND OF MY ENDLESS FAVICON COLLECTION (this is a sign to req a themed icon post in my asks)
(ko-fi)
being a system and also being autistic is super funny because like you can so clearly tell what a system's special interest is by looking at how many fictives from that source they have
