Aetherglade intro
Hi, ae're the aetherglade system, ae are a holocreep ACARMF radeviant system. Ae post about a lot of things. Ae are radqueer neutral and NO-ACT. We're the evil scary paraphile anarchist you were told about in reactionary monster stories. We mostly just make art of fictional characters and write stories and games. We don't pander to bigots.
It's a long intro but we explain a lot about ourselves
I've been feeling anxious and depressed because of the amount of vitriol that gets thrown at transIDs and paraphilias. It feels more important than ever to protect each other from nonconsensual abuse. We keep us safe.
Even if a lot of anarchist antis don't like us right now, that doesn't mean all anarchists hate us. The radeviant community is growing and adjacent communities are also on the rise as well. It's important that we build solidarity with those we trust and build safe spaces. I also worry about transgender and nonbinary paraphiles as well because they are demonised are erased especially hard.
actually wanna die bc I hate having paras and everyone wants me to die for them anyway. Im just a sick freak who deserves to be tortured and mutilated :/ yet im prolly sick enough to enjoy it, i fucking hate myself
I feel like even the peple i look up to find me disgusting and I cant blame them, afterall they have sexual trauma. I have sexual trauma too but they matter more. At least they are not a disgusting freak like me. Yet I so desperately want them to pay attention to me, to realize I fucking deserve their praise. I am a fucked up person but my needs matter. WHY CANT THEY REALIZE IM SPECIAL I FUCKING DESERVE ALL THEIR LOVE AND ATTENTION AND I NEED IT ALL I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DONT REALIZE I AM THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON I JUST WANT TO BE NOTICED AND LOVED AND CARED FOR AND I DESERVE IT
We Felt this so deeply. We know the feeling. It can be isolating when you don't have local community.
IM LAUGIHNG HARDER THAN EVER RIGHT THIS SECOND
Reblogging this again because Chris just made me realize that sheep are so stupid that I can’t even think like them:
These sheep? They are actually running away from the car.
They are so stupid that they’re following each other in a circle around the thing they are running from.
SHEEPNADO
when your group cohesion is set higher than your flee response distance.
This is actually called a sheep cyclone and it happens because sheep don’t have a hierarchy. In most herds, whichever animal is the leader will sense danger and take off running. The rest of the herd takes it’s cues from the leader and follows. Sheep, on the other hand, don’t have a leader. If the flock runs, they run, and they follow whatever fluffy tail happens to be in front of them. Usually, this works out fine for the sheep. Occasionally, however, the sheep in the front starts following the fluffy tail of the sheep in the back so the whole flock ends up running in circles, going nowhere fast.
sheeps are morons lmao
is this what the doggos are for
@gallusrostromegalus
This is, to my understanding, excactly WHY we have both herding and livestock guardian dogs. Sheep are… really amazingly dumb most of the time.
Then, once in a while, you get one sheep that’s Entirely Too Cunning and that’s when all hell breaks loose.
*flies past*

There is a part of me that feels like im not really an anarchist and that anarchists wouldn't fight for para rights, but seeing as paraphiles are victims of state and community oppression, I think the logical position of the anarchist is to fight for para liberation and transid liberation. Being a part of deviant identities can be really isolating and make people turn away from groups that could genuinely help each other and I know I have developed social anxiety around other anarchists because the transid community doesn't have the most fair representation (Oli london was a traitor to the transid community and set the community back).
Many people say paraphiles don't even deserve community which further leads to isolation, despair and stress for paraphiles and potentially even more contact offenses. The lack of community has likely killed somebody or many somebodies
The powers that be want you to give up and play into demonizing stereotypes, do not give them any power over your body or mind.
I know people might say that being a parapunk isnt anarchist, that transids are ableist/racist/problematic. But these are lies designed to uphold the status quo of bioessentialism and bioconservatism that have been spread by safequeer ideology (as opposed to radeviant ideology). It is puritanical and paramisic to exclude paraphiles from spaces simply for the fact that they are paraphiles. We should be working to help rehabilitate those who have contact offended.
I follow the NO-ACT stance and practice RACK when engaging in intimate activities, so I think it's still important to be ethical in how sexual behaviors are displayed.
Its okay to be scared for your life, its ok to not share every detail about yourself, but i think its time I grew a spine and started standing up for our collective rights and future.
Just realized i have developed social anxiety because I'm radeviant and a paraphile which gets in the way of a lot of irl friendships and has the possibility of backfiring. Internalized paramisia is a real struggle. I want to do sfw and nsfw profiction art as a worker owned business and I'm trying to work up the courage to try and take healthy risks.

Translation under cut:
So peak. I've been considering iding as transimmortallolicrona. I might consider becoming a loli cub robot in the future as one of my transhuman forms.
I've definitely had transMAM thoughts and it gives me warm feelings talking about it. I also experience minor attraction as an adult and I'm also attracted to adults (which is not a moral judgement for those who are exclusively attracted to minors).
I feel both like an loli and a crona in a lot of instances and tend to ageslide from 12 to 30
Still a chrono adult so I wouldn't date chrono minor transMAMs

One of my random stinks involves randomly coming up with song ideas that should made in a DAW and trying to do it with my mouth
I wish i could speak colorbass and future house: those are my favorite dialects.
I meant to stay stimms
People need to understand that the point ISN’T “being single is not a failure if you’re aromantic”, the point is being single is not a failure full stop.
You can be allo and be single; it’s allowed. You feeling attraction doesn’t mean your priority NEEDS to be finding romance (it can be! But it also can not).
Being single should be normalized no matter what your romantic/sexual orientation is. It isn’t a tragedy.

I’m curious about what ways you think pro cs can be reformed? I knew someone who tried to talk a pro c teen into not posting suggestive selfies, but they got ignored. The pro c teen ended up turning into an anti.
I don’t understand how to help pro cs change since all the ex pro cs I know had to change their views rather than someone convincing them. I’ve been concerned because it’s hard to sway others into being anti contact, but I keep seeing pro c youth get into dangerous spaces and come out of it hurt and often turn to antis.
I actually changed my position on this as i think community self defense networks and transformative community justice are more beneficial than being Institutionalized. Id probably have to steelman pro contact positions in order to debate it properly. I think a huge issue is they either don't see the harm they are inflicting or don't care. We just don't want to use dehumanization as a weapon against our enemies because it leads to fascistic rhetoric being thrown around. Self defense is justified and sometimes violence against an abuser is the only thing you can do to survive.
We should be considering welcoming ex-pro-contact people into the anti-contact community. I also have thoughts about this that relate to prison abolition. The main one being that we should focus on community justice models that deescalate issues before they arise.
NO-ACT paraphile movement
What does NO-ACT mean? -NO-ACT stands for "Non-Offending, Anti-Contact, Taboo" and is a movement for paraphiles who are against sexual contact with minors, theriform animals, and non-consenting people, but pro-kink and other means of safe sexual expression. The goal of this movement is for paraphilias to be destigmatized, abuse awareness and prevention, sexual education, and risk-aware sexual bodily autonomy. This is also a separatist movement, as anti-contact paraphiles must disassociate entirely from beings who hold pro/neutral/complex contact stances if we ever want destigmatization, acceptance, and abuse prevention.
This movement is… -Against pederasty/youth age gap relationships, child sexual abuse material, bestiality, bestial material, rape, and all other forms of non-consensual sexual contact or creation of sexual exploitation material. -Pro-kink/RACK, pro-fiction, and encourages finding healthy ways to express taboo paraphilias. Everything like roleplay, kink, art, fiction writing, special effects in films, and other fictional outlets. -Pro bodily autonomy in all aspects. Whether it's the right to an abortion, euthanasia, rejecting treatment, or risk-aware sex. -Pro-consang, as long as it is between two consenting adults who do not have a power imbalance. -Anti-non consensual necrophilia, and pro-consensual* necrophilia. People deserve the right to bodily autonomy even in death, and if someone wants to write in their will that they want people to be allowed to have sex with their corpse, it should be legal to do so. -Anti-non consensual somnophilia/sleep sex, and pro-consensual* somnophilia - as long as someone is following RACK principles and being careful, consenting adults should be allowed to decide for themselves whether they want to have sleep sex or not. -Against pro/neutral/complex contact** stances. It is abuse apologism, full stop, and NO-ACT does not tolerate abuse apologism or abusers.
Disclaimers: -*True consent relies on the ability to revoke consent, and since dead, sleeping, and drugged people cannot reliably revoke consent, there will always be a risk factor to having sexual contact with them. NO-ACT is dedicated to advocating for bodily autonomy, and thus supports those who wish to have these experiences in a risk-aware context. -**Anti-contact has always and will always mean being against sexual contact with minors, theriform animals, and other non-consenting beings. This is not up for debate, NO-ACT is strict on this and does not accept pro/neutral/complex stances. -NO-ACT was made partially as a way to prevent anti-contact symbols and flags being appropriated by pro/neutral/complex-contact communities. Due to this, I try to avoid using explicitly pro-contact symbols as much as possible. -NO-ACT is inherently anti-xenosatanist and radqueer-critical, as both ideologies encourage or allow pro-contact stances.
Flag variations and more below the cut
I don't like how the description sometimes uses the name of the paraphilia to mean an action, but otherwise this is cool!
We support this movement! We think that pro contact people should be rehabilitated in a transformative justice model. We support all paraphiles and their human rights just not all contact stances and we're very aggressive about defending anti contact stances. We think it's necessary to teach consent, boundaries, and comprehensive sex education at an early age to prevent grooming.
"This is_" Blog ideas:
This is deathism: a blog calling out anti immortality and anti life sentiment
This is bioreactionism: a blog calling out bioreactionary and bioessentialist rhetoric
This is transidmisia: a blog calling out anti transid rhetoric
This is carnism: a blog dedicated to calling out carnism, antiveganism, and animal abuse
I get that people find value in religion, but when people say they atheists live a meaningless life without religion i find it disingenuous because I find that meaning is something we build from the ground up and embody in our lives. I feel that life is what you make of it and what you find meaningful is different from what others find meaningful. Personally i find a lot of meaning in art and gaming while other people think those things have little meaning.
The idea that an immortal life is meaningless fundamentally fails to grapple with existentialism and the fact that meaning making is a core part of being alive. Nature and artifice is a false binary with a lot of granularity and grey areas. I assume an immortal life would be full of more meaning, not less.
Vegan cooking
I’m transvegan.
In fact, I met my first (real live) vegan yesterday. She’s the new office coordinator at my school, and she’s been vegan for 4 years. After blushing and trying to contain myself from asking a million questions and wanting to pour out my heart about all the reasons I’m transitioning and the progress I’ve made, I felt a little embarrassed that I still struggled with showing self control at work. I don’t punish myself or shame myself for not having 100% vegan days. Instead, weirdly enough, I have this deep underlying absolute confidence that I WILL be vegan by the end of this year. It’s just a matter of building small habits, since the mindset shift and the conviction are already there.
For example, nowadays eating meat is just a non-option. It’s like serving you plastic. You’d never eat it, no matter how delicious everyone around you said it was, or how normal everyone made eating plastic seem. It’s plastic! Gross. For me, being a vegetarian is that obvious. Meat is just NOT a food choice to me and, therefore, choosing a vegetarian diet is very easy. I realized that that only happened after I had a serious mindset shift, when I noticed that I really don’t believe in eating meat at all, and I need to put my money where my mouth is (or… put my mouth where my values are?) and stop being such a hypocrite. I call myself an environmentalist? I love animals? I hate factory farming? I think abusing animals for man’s tastebuds is criminal? So I can’t eat meat. Done, simple. And, honestly, it was simple (in hindsight, at least). It was a transition, it took me 6 months to slowly eat less and less meat, and for a 3 months period over the summer I rarely ate meat at all. Then, in the beginning of September, I ordered a salmon roll. I ate it, and then I felt immense guilt. Like I had cheated on myself. That was the last time I ate meat.
Going vegan is a very similar process to me. I’m already convinced. The dairy and egg production industries are awful and they inflict as much harm on chickens and cows as the meat production industries, they just don’t get slaughtered in the end (except they do… layer chickens become broth when they’re too old to keep laying eggs, and the calves that the pregnant cows produced milk for are slaughtered for their meat). Additionally, factory farmed milk (and therefore cheese) is just a bunch of fat and often times mucus and, well, I could go on and on but that’s not the point. The point is, I’m convinced I need to go vegan, I believe in it firmly.
But… I’m not there yet. I’ve had a hard time having 100% vegan days. In order, from easiest to hardest, are the transition moments that put me to the test:
1. Grocery shopping. For me, this is easy. I feel no desire whatsoever to buy milk or cheese and I’ve learned that cooking is fun! I’ve LOVED exploring with new flavors and ingredients. I’m learning how to use foods I had never even heard of before and expanding my taste buds infinitely, not to mention learning about the health properties of tons more foods.
2. Picking the vegan option on the menu. Living in NY, it’s actually not that uncommon to have vegan (or can-be-altered-to-be-vegan) options (well, an option) on a restaurant menu. And, when given the choice, I’ll most likely pick the vegan option… but not always. This is especially difficult with pizza or pasta. Today I actually went to a Mexican take-out place and got my tempeh bowl without cheese or sour cream (*self high five*).
3. Snacking at work. OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS SUCH A CHALLENGE?! It’s not even that I’m hungry and I don’t even enjoy the snacks half the time. But it’s so easy and satisfying to go down to the teacher workroom during a prep and GRAB SOME CHEDDAR SOUR CREAM CHIPS or a chocolate chip cookie or a microwaveable mac and cheese (urh, gross). And as awful as it sounds, sometimes it’s just something to do. Eating because I have a free minute in the day and the food is available and free and fuck it, I’ll just grab these chips. NO TATI STOP!
One solution I found to help keep me honest was to bring my own snacks to work, since that’s my biggest daily source of problems with my self control. I’m going to want to snack on chips, cookies and junk? Fine. But it’ll be MY homemade vegan junk. So I’ve been baking cookies and bringing in my toast (and earth butter and cashew “ricotta” and all the things) in numerous Tupperware containers to work. It’s worked, except that it requires a ton of advance planning and honestly space in my backpack. I prefer eating my own snacks over the processed foods junk at work, but if I didn’t have time to make anything then what happens?
So today I tried something new. I’ve been seeing this ring designed by a vegan Etsy seller that says “vegan” on it. I thought if I had that ring and saw it on my finger, I wouldn’t “cheat” on myself. I didn’t buy the ring, but I did write a small V on my finger, and on the inside of my wrist. Lo and behold, it actually worked. I would see the V and remember what my priorities were and realize that I’m not hungry and I didn’t snack. All. Day.
If I end up drawing a V on myself every day, I may just get it tattooed. For now, I’m pleased.
This is inspiring... We're also transvegan, but we had a vegan diet for years before switching to vegetarian due to a lack of a properly balanced diet. We still don't buy leather or gelatin. We're planning on getting a dietician to help come up with a vegan meal plan. Being vegan is not a solo process and it's ok to ask for help. We feel like food is a major way people bond and recreating traditional dishes in a veganized manner is important. We were convinced by a psychotic episode which exposed us to the horrors of animal consumption. We have also been a fan of David Pierce and the hedonistic imperative. We feel that its important to abolish wild and domesticated animal suffering and end the cycle of predation. The intersection of anarcho-transhumanism and veganism leads to very interesting ethics and possibilities such as animal enhancement and species uplifting. We also consider the moral grey area of vat grown human meat to be vegan adjacent but still has some ethical issues, mainly that it still propagates carnism.
I will admit... I have been spewing dysphoria centric takes lately and im sorry for that... People have transids for multiple reasons and euphoria is just as much a valid reason for transition as dysphoria.
Transparas who transition out of euphoria are valid
Transplural people who transition for fun or kink are valid.
People who are transabled for fun or kink are valid.
People who are transneuro for fun or kink are valid.
Transfat people who transition for fun or kink are valid
People who have impossible or "cringe" transIDs are valid
People who are transharmful are valid.
You don't need to have a reason to be transID. As long as you are in good faith you are valid.

I have some legitimate questions about a topic in contact discourse.
