OTHER !!
[Pt. Other!! End pt.]
☄️ We're often blurry and don't (fully) indicate who's fronting unless it has a significant effect on our personality.
☄️ We struggle to respond to messages, so if it takes a while to respond, we aren't ignoring you!
☄️ Please feel free to interact with us, we'd love to make friends! However, we struggle with staying consistent / giving a lot of attention. We will try our best!
☄️ We tend to become detached during periods of high emotion (especially from others), but this by no means indicates that we are uncaring -- it is simply a coping mechanism that we frequently utilize in times of high stress.
☄️ Find our crewmate intros here !

Eridian Grace, as in culturally Eridian, not the species Eridian, is so important to me.
Grace who does jazz hands and taps when he's asking a question and says some words three times like Rocky. Grace who makes chirps and trilling noises when he's happy.
Grace who starts thinking and dreaming in Eridian, who sometimes has dreams that are just sound, no visual. (Grace who, if he ever goes back to Earth for whatever reason after years on Erid, forgets some words in English and speaks in the sentence structure of Eridian because he has to translate from Eridian to English when he speaks outloud).
Grace who does scarification (even if Rocky protests at first) - I've read some fics where he does the Voyager pulsar map, or dots and lines showing his route from Sol, to Tau Ceti, turning around towards Sol, and then the line going all the way back to Erid. Even though he already has the scars from Rocky saving him, maybe Rocky's family crest. A scar showing his rank as Captain of the Hail Mary - maybe something to represent her, too.
Grace who wears Eridian gems, as earrings, in a chain for his glasses, in strings draped over him that clink together when he walks - the most important ones, like the earrings he wears all the time, the color of the blueish-green gems (or spots?) in/on Rocky's carapace.
Grace who wears a bracelet on each arm that have ribbed marks like on Rocky's arm so he can properly say goodbye (not something he had to do, but something that felt right to do, something that made him feel more like himself), sound included.
Grace who considers himself an Eridian!! Grace who IS an Eridian!!
I am so tired... I want to be open about who I am. I want to be open and talk about how I cope with things. But I can't. I have no where to talk about it. Discord restricts me every time. Antis on Tumblr will term my account. I just want to talk about things I struggle with. I just want to talk about how I have found coping mechanisms. I just want to talk about how I found ways to be a safe person. But I can't. I can't talk about how my wife and I genuinely believe we should have siblings. I can't talk about how he helps me cope with my paraphilias. I can't talk about how I am a paraphile and how that interacts with my job. I can't talk about how I have found coping mechanisms. I can't talk about how I have found ways to be a safe person to those around me. How is that wrong? How is it wrong that I want to help others find ways to cope? How is my personal relationship with a consenting adult is dangerous? How is my personal relationship with a consenting ADULT is disgusting?
It.. almost hurts more that I can't be open about it. It makes me feel dangerous. It makes me feel like I'll never be able to escape. It makes me feel like I will inevitably do something terrible. It.. makes me question what the point of me doing all the work is. What's the point of I'll be seen as dangerous anyway? What's the point if people will assume I'm a predator anyway? What's the point? (The point is not hurting another being and being someone safe)
PARAPHILE ≠ PREDATOR
Being a Paraphile does not equal being a Predator. Paraphiles are not inherently predators.
We completely forgot to actually announce the big thing first!
Project Preservation!
Project Preservation is an archival project by The RadQueer Menace Collective and is intended to collect and preserve terms and labels into big pools on interconnected carrds. It's here to make sure they are not forgotten or destroyed.
The main carrd Project Preservation is focused on currently is The Fullest Alterhuman Dictionary, which was announced earlier today.
The carrd for Project Preservation:
An archival project of TRQMC to preserve labels, terms, and coins in an attempt to keep them alive.
Also still in its WIP phase.
Can you support us in this project?
Currently not, we aren't set up for donations and we aren't capable of coordinating volunteers. We are currently working on Projects Preservation for free and alone.
This means the project moves slowly but steadily by hand as we will also not be using AI at any point.
(For context Ix uses Eye/Ei/Ey/Eyne/Eyself instead of I/Me/My/Mine/Myself)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
It is truly odd to Ei how often others will base their morals upon their own personal opinions. This may, of course, simply be because Eye do not allow Ey own biases to interfere with how Eye control Ey life, but Eye digress.
It has been, and most certainly will be, an issue which plagues our community, and which causes Ei significant distress, to say nothing of the others. It near inevitably leads to fighting and discourse ranging from petty and inconsequential to disastrous.
All are biased -- this is an inevitable facet of being that can not be circumvented. To deny this is to deny any responsibility over said biases, and it is an action which Eye find quite distasteful.
However, biases can be controlled, and doing so is something Eye strongly expect from Eyself. Eye cannot, of course, control others, and their own actions, and their own biases. This is a task all must undertake willingly and of their own accord. Eye simply wish to note how prevalent it is for beings to treat their opinions as fact, and if not that, then the opinions which all other's should hold and that are best for the world at large.
Eye implore of thee, whoever may be reading this, to examine thine own standing on this issue. To treat one's own opinion as gospel is to doom those around oneself. What is best for one may not be best for another -- this is how societies have functioned, and will continue to function, for as long as free will is able to be exercised by it's residents.
Live thy life, but do not do so at the expense of others.
I'm actually losing my mind why the fuck can I not socialize normally why do I get really excited about socializing for a few days then ignore everyone for weeks on end what the hellllll
Rocky from PHM is transage (oty) and I will DIE on this hill < guy who has no evidence nor reason to think that
Also Grace definitely identifies as both Human and Eridian like. He is firmly in the middle and wishes he could shapeshift. Transshapeshifter Grace when ?
While I'm at it Adrian is uhhhh. Nullage and transMissingLimb. What the hell why not let's get silly 💥💥💥
pondering 🤔 I feel like radqueer beliefs are actually WAYYY more common and repressed in society than people want to admit.
remember how everyone used to be super para purists and think liking feet was devilish? on twt it's now somewhat mainstream to have a foot or piss fetish, and suddenly hundreds of thousands of "normies" are okay to admit it. isn't it funny how SO many people came around to actually admit they have paras too once it was no longer a judgemental space?
yk how many "normies" I see who WISH they were na'vi from avatar so bad, a species that is based around indigenous polynesian culture? when it's transindigenous they're aggressively against it because that's the popular opinion, but when it's under an "acceptable" format the most unradical of people admit that they have that want.
idk it's just something funny I observe. tons of my "normie" irls or people on my ig feed or twt homepage have said things to me before that I'm certain radqueers voice on tumblr literally all the time. society really is just repressing it and pretending they don't feel that way so that they get accepted more. if everything was accepting I'm CERTAIN so so many more people would admit to have paras or transIDs and being radinclus.
This kinda thing happens SO MUCH with Spock, I'll be typing something casual out and suddenly I'm going "It is of little consequence, of course, however that fact does little to reduce its negative effects." Hello?????
