We really, truly aren’t at all ashamed that We’re “those furries” in what remains of the Aristasia Community.
Everything We post here pertains to Our otherworld, the Virtuälian Commonwealth of Aethyrcadia — it’s part personal coping mechanism, part creative outlet.

I just thought of something diabolical. So much Aristasia stuff is starting to become lost media due to link rot. Maybe folx should create *new* content: content that would make the OGstasians *cringe*.
In OG Aristasia, there are [supposedly] only *three* feminine types — blondes, brunettes, and redheads. Blondes represent Sai Sushuri, whereas brunettes represent Sai Thamë. But that’s the thing — that’s only *two* out of a bare minimum of seven *other* janyati. That’s potentially an *infinitely*-diverse spectrum of in-universe sexes / genders / types!
Sex / gender / janyati are a *spectrum*. It’s highly likely that janyatic principles can manifest in any *number* of ways for individual Herthelan maids.
Part of me feels it would make *waaay* more sense if Aristasian society featured a bare minimum of seven janyati-based sexes / genders / types, and leave it to individual pettes to figure out how F/F reproduction works for themselves. Gender / sex / janyati are a *spectrum*, after all! If two or more pettes hope to bring *new* Herthelani into the world, who am *I* to say they can’t? With this [janyati-based] system, it’s basically leaving room for open-ended answers to the age-old question of Herthelan reproduction, as opposed to the OG Aristasians just shrugging it off.
This leaves the janyati-types as an open-source template, so to speak — but, of course, blondes, brunettes, and redheads can still be a thing, too.

Athens moved into Innerstasia about a week or three ago. She and Sophie… *really* hit it off. They’re literally girlfriends now. Athens is transblonde, and she says that she found her way to Aristasia-in-Internalia after having a *really* hard time in the Northern Wastes.

Picrew time — it’s me, Yashi! ^w^ (Yes, I’m a furry!)

This isn’t a *perfect* representation of my fursona, but it *is* a close(…ish) approximation. I *do* plan on commissioning someone for a more accurate version of my true self — this is by far the best anthro picrew I’ve found to date, but even so, it *still doesn’t quite* match who I really am. (1) I’m actually *waaay* less humanoid, (2) I have a muzzle, (3) my fur is actually pastel lilac / white (as opposed to purple), (4) I have *digitigrade* footpaws (as opposed to plantigrade), and (5) I has *teh floof*. Still, not bad for 0.00 USD.

“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence” (Terry Pratchett, “Discworld #11: Reaper Man”).

It appears I was wrong on *several* levels regarding the nature of my innerworld, as well as my kintype.[1]
After much reflection, our innerworld’s genres appear to be (1) mythic historical iyashikei (albeit with Brothers Grimmesque folkloric / psychological horror elements), and (2) Arcadian Filianic media.
Similar works include “Spice and Wolf” by Isuna Hasekura, “Violet Evergarden” by Kana Akatsuki, “Little Goody Two Shoes” by AstralShift & Square Enix — *MAJOR* vibes with LGTS, by the way — and *especially* “Aristasia” by The Aristasia Community.
I (Yashi) appear to be a vixen spirit (one of the local minor geniae, to use a Filianic term) very similar to Holo from “Spice and Wolf”. We (the Orchards) are ALL spirits, as far as we know (there’s five of us). [2]
Rhiannë (aka Kyria, our godshard of Dea Filia) is a horsegirl (like those in “Uma Musume Pretty Derby” by Cygames) as opposed to a centaur, because… that’s just easier to visualize, I guess. Yasumi (if that’s still her name) is a local minor folk janya of healing. Sophie’s an attendant of Sai Candrë, which is a mythological pun — she’s an insomniac rabbitgirl, and in Japanese folklore, the moon (Sai Candrë’s sphere)’s associated with rabbits. This would also explain why Sophie looks so tired all the time: because her job requires her to work at night, yet she (Sophie) still interacts with the rest of the Orchards during daylight hours! Blueberry might be of the shiani (Filianic fae), but I’m still not quite sure. I’ll have to make it a point to ask her sooner or later.
Roughly 99% of other maids only see us Orchards as everyday Axials (ie “typical” intemorphs, of which, in this particular innerworld, there’s a bare minimum of *seven* feminine types — each based upon one or more of the myriad janyatic principles). [3] That said, this kinda-sorta works similar to Amaterasu’s divine markings in “Ōkami” by Clover Studio & Capcom — we (the Orchards) can see one another’s true forms, but most maids who aren’t spirit-beings or spiritually attuned can’t see our animal ears, tails, wings, etc.
The main area of the innerworld is Saresgrove. In older English, “sare” means “withered, rotten, dry, melancholy, etc”. Thus, “Saresgrove” more or less means “a sort of gloomy, withered wooded area”.
There are monsters of the week in the form of keres (Filianic demons) such as Anxietas, Dysphoria, etc. There’s a nearby wooded area called the Deepwoods (which is safe(ish?) for exploration), and then there’s the *Deeperwoods* (which is where all the eldritch horrors and monsters of the week lurk in the dark).
Overall, the historical era appears to be some kind of anachronism stew between c. 1400 and 1910 CE GD.
No magic in Saresgrove — Saresgrove’s very similar to the not!Europe of “Spice and Wolf” in this regard. That said, doors exist between media-worlds in the form of a phenomenon known as Sai Brighë’s Door.

[1] …Now that I think of it, I might’ve been right on both kintypes all along — I’m a vixen genia, yes, but I’m *also* from an all-girl world (and, thus, an alien).
[2] That is to say, there’s five of us *for now* (as of SUC 10.25.3343 IE NH // FRI 12.22.2023 CE GD).
[3] We’d like to clarify that, while Saresgrove seems to be some form of protectorate / territory / etc. of the Queendom of Arcadia in Internalia, schizomorphs (i.e. beings from not-all-female worlds) are more than welcome. For instance, Kyria Rhiannë seems to have greenlighted Flocke [LGTS] for entry to Saresgrove, if / when we find out what happens in Kieferberg. Additionally, there’s at least *one* anthropomorph.

As of this afternoon, we’ve got our first walk-in — Elise from “Little Goody Two Shoes” by AstralShift and Square Enix! She’s here to keep bad people out.
Elise appears to be an *active walk-in* — she claims that she arrived in Saresgrove because, in her words, “the door was open”. It seems said door’s a two-way link between Saresgrove and Elise’s source material.
We are the Virtuälian Commonwealth of Aethyrcadia.
We first settled Elektraspace in 003’335 IE NH through our now-lost DeviantArt intemorphiction, which took place on the all-girl world of Sai Epionë. Even today, our sky archipelagoes remain all-feminine. We are Virtuälian maids and fully-textbased lifeforms.
These days, our primary platform is NationStates.
The Aristasias have contributed much to our nation’s development, but we are democratic socialists, and we harshly condemn Aristasia Antiqua’s fascist ideölogy.
We are the Aethyrcadians, and we are here to stay.
Hear Her Laughter.
