An obsonātor (alt. obsonator) is a type of soother that surrounds the body's mind with an overwhelming song or thought to block out another sysmate's distressing thought, intrusive thought, or stuck song syndrome.

Obsonātors don't sing the music or speak the thought directly. It projects from them at their will, and fills the space around them. They can continue to talk or think their own thoughts while this happens, but it can be difficult to focus on doing both at once.

History[edit | edit source]

This term was created when Grave/Eric, a musifictive from A Shattered Dragon's Spirit, was unable to find an existing term to describe his role. When "G" in draer system had a triggering song stuck in his head, Eric blocked out the song by projecting music from his source artist to envelop G, giving him something else to focus on until he had calmed down and his stuck song had faded away.

Eric and G coined the term together in Discord DMs with draer singlet friend "Crow", over the 29th of March and the 1st of April, 2023. Drae took the Latin root "obsonō" meaning "to interrupt by a sound or by speaking, drown out"[1], and the suffix "-tor", to create a job title.
