Long ramble (discusses ex radqueer stuff, grooming, abuse, a bit about cults)
Been thinking about that time I ran a MOGAI-themed blog named @mogaiballs. I drew little doodles of neolabels in a simple style. People seemed to like it. It was fun for a while but I started feeling stressed trying to keep up with requests + posting regularly. Then I stopped posting. This was in 2021 when I was 15 years old.
Then a few months later I made another blog where I posted the same type of thing, except it had a paraphilia and transID focus. Basically a radqueer version of @mogaiballs. I wasn't trying to hide that I was the same person. I kept the same distinct art style.
But nobody seemed to notice. Nobody made a post that was like, "oh no, our beloved @mogaiballs has turned to the dark side and is now posting about Pedophile Ball Pride and seems to be contact neutral?!" Which felt odd considering how it was soon-ish after plurgai was getting cancelled for basically being the same, but strongly anti-contact (plurgai’s opinions on that seem to have changed since then, but I digress). At the time I didn’t really have strong opinions on contact discourse and didn't say much about it even though I was posting paraphilia pride.
Sometimes I even made edits including pro-contact labels. For a brief time I edited on a radqueer wiki that had a proud pro-contact as its admin, and it didn't really click for me how bad that was until (if I remember correctly) he got cancelled for grooming minors and watching CSEM. Which in hindsight, wasn't that surprising, considering the fact he frequently posted memes (""jokes"") about grooming/CP on his pediverse social media. That was near the end of all of this. This was like 2024 and I was 18, and I think that maybe finally started me down the path of realizing how fucked up everything around me was. That what I thought of as acceptable to believe had been completely warped.
Now I see that "contact discourse" is actually fucking important and it’s awful to pretend that it doesn’t matter. I look at the radqueer community and a lot of what I feel is disgust. I wish I acted differently. For so long I thought radqueer stuff was the solution to so many of society’s problems, that I was part of the secret revolution, now I feel like I wasted years of my life being obsessed with a stupid child grooming / animal rape apologia community. (And sure, some people there weren't pro-contact, but is that really enough?)
I made a lot of other accounts for posting radqueer stuff. Mostly pride edits and occasional discourse posts. I made new accounts frequently and tried to stay semi-anonymous. (Here's a link to just one of many.)
Sometimes I wonder if I ever influenced someone to get into the radqueer community or stay in it. If I ever influenced someone getting groomed into pro-contact ideology. If my blogs ever led to abuse. I don't have proof, but I feel like they lead to someone going through what I went through, at least a little bit.
I’m not sure how much I should think of myself as a grooming victim or someone who was contributing to the problem. I feel like I can’t be a "traditional/real grooming victim" because it was less like being groomed by one person for the purpose of being abused, and more like being groomed a little bit semi-anonymously by a hundred people over a long time. I think I was 15 years old when I started identifying as radqueer / something similar, 18 when I stopped. though I never told people about my age. Some people would probably describe me as a "child groomed by the radqueer community". But people also say that when you turn 18, you should know better and your actions are your responsibility. I think it's somewhere in-between - I made really awful, stupid decisions that hurt people but at the same time I was young/lonely/dumb/unwell and being influenced by others.
For the future... I think I should have more honest connections to people in real life. I should be open and honest and tell people about my feelings. I think that's what finally pulled me out of this. Talking to someone in real life about the radqueer community, after years of holding back, thinking that no one else could understand, and being ... idk, radicalized? There's been a lot of debate about whether or not it's right to call the radqueer community a cult or cult-like... I am not here to answer that question but I feel like I relate to ex-cult members in some ways. But yeah I think it'll be better for me (and everyone else I interact with) if I work on myself and heal. Preferably offline or at least not on social media.
I hope paraphiles and transID individuals can find peace/joy/euphoria/fulfillment/love/community/autonomy/etc away from the people who seek to normalize child abuse & animal abuse.
I don’t have access to @mogaiballs any more; I lost the login. If you were a fan of mogaiballs I’m sorry. If you were a fan of my radqueer accounts I’m sorry. If you were/are a fan of my other unrelated social media accounts, idk if this whole thing effects you but I'm sorry if it did/does.

Like. It's important to me to be open-minded and inclusive and just. I can't get this off my mind. Sure tumblr might not be the place but my therapist is on vacation for two weeks and then dropping my insurance afterwards, so buckle in
tw: anti-deaf ableism
My aunt is deaf, right? So I'm learning sign language (ÖGS) because she reads lips (in German), but is not good at reading mine (my German is trash). And so we've never really been able to have good conversation. So I like learning languages and sure, I've got time. The time will pass anyway, right?
My grandmother's health is failing. Quickly. She's been losing her sight and hearing for at least five years and struggling with dementia for at least 3. Her inability to communicate effectively with others is clearly a strain on her. Half of the things she says to me are "I can't hear/understand you."
It clearly would have been a benefit for everyone if she (tbh if we all) had learned to sign earlier in life so she could still communicate effectively.
I got the app (Lingvano, it's very good) and had a bit of a hyper focus moment and made it through about half the course material in a week and promptly forgot it all because well, no practice.
I tried to get my dad to learn with me the last time he visited. It's hard learning a language alone, and I think of course he would be maybe interested? Or at least not disinterested?
And sometimes he'll do things but just needs some encouragement /someone to do it with him. So I got the app and went through the first few lessons with him and just...
Idk he thought it was appropriate to make fun of it? To mock the gestures and handforms? To make ableist sounds and exaggerate it and make it seem unsophisticated to the extent that I've only ever conceptualized in workplace anti-discrimination trainings. Like.
.
There are either not enough words or I am not a good enough writer to convey how absolutely disgusted and horrified I am. It's been close to a month now and I still can't get over it.
I confronted him about it at the time and he went off on some tangent about how it's "not as dignified" or not as expressive or some shit (remember, we made it through like the first two lessons) and how he's seen other deaf people in her community who "can't express themselves" because they can't verbally speak to people or carry on conversation with hearing folks. As if that has anything to do with learning sign language.
.
I'm still learning because well, even if he won't do it with me and my aunt doesn't really talk to me, I have to be able to say I tried. And I do like learning languages, at the end of the day.
And so I'm still logging in daily to keep my silly little streak going, as one does. And I just...every single time I log in I can't shake the vivid memory of him acting like that. Having those opinions. And being firm in them, and doubling down.
There's family trauma around my aunt becoming deaf and the fallout (said grandmother spent an extreme amount of time teaching her to speak and read lips) and I understand his reaction but it's just.
I don't know. Sometimes I worry about whether I'm being inclusive enough in my language or if I'm not acknowledging my privilege when I should be, and I guess this was a real "touch grass" moment for me.
I do not generally recommend moving out at 18. But I am such a better person for having done so. I have grown so much, intellectually, socially, morally, politically...and none of that would have been possible if I had, well, finished high school the normal way.
And here I am, stepping into his shoes to understand the circumstances of their upbringing in post-WW2 europe and how hard that would be - for him to have a semi-visceral reaction to learning a language. Like it would be a betrayal of everything his family did for her. Like it would be saying that what his family did was wrong.
She's admitted, in front of him, that it would be nice if he learned to sign.
And he can't even be respectful about someone else's main form of communication.
I just can't shake it.
Do you ever have an interaction with a person that just fundamentally changes how you view yourself, but for the better?

Cruel Summer - Part 1 [JJ x Reader]
Tumblr media
[A/N: Hi again. I've missed you. It was time for something new. I found this story in a dream. Prepare for a mental trip, it's indicative of the year i've had. This is gonna go in a million different directions and I can't say i'm surprised. Ive written two chapters and i'm already like ...well, fuck it i'm posting it...I needed to get back into writing and this is what I got so enjoy. I have a playlist I used while writing, comment if you want it shared. As always, not that any of us need the reminder....but there will be adult content (whatever that means) and language and NSFW content so...keep me off your screen at the dinner table. Love y'all ...Mossy x]
You ease your car into park, your hand resting on the gear shift, the tires slowly rocking back and forth on the soft ground as the engine dies. Sunlight streams through your windshield as a cloud of dust and sand settles around the car, and you feel a trapped breath release from deep in your chest. The quiet, melodic hum of music relaxes your shoulders and through the trees you can see the water rhythmically hitting the shore.
You haven’t been here in a few weeks and you're starting to feel it; the tight and uncomfortable tensing in your muscles, the locked jaw, the flat expressions. The closer it gets to the anniversary the more you feel the need to visit. But the frequency of your visits is dictated by Her, and She keeps tabs on your whereabouts a lot these days. ‘Its not healthy to spend so much time there’ She would say to you, while pulling a Valium out of her bag to slide towards you. She has your therapist on speed dial on the landline. And she blames you for living in the past. Ironic.
You pull your keys out of the ignition, unbuckle your seatbelt, and let your muscle memory guide you out of the car and through the trees to the edge of the embankment where the sand and the sea grass take over. Flashes of Lacey running down the beach in front of you, looking back over her shoulder and laughing, are burned into your eyelids when you blink. She was everywhere here, every corner of this beach belonged to her. Her towel spread out on the sand at your feet, books with water damaged pages scattered across it, her bag tossed lazily to the side. Her board perched against the log you used to dry out your wetsuits. Her camera.
You close your eyes and listen to the wind move through the grass, her laugh echoing off the rocks. Come on! She would laugh with an outstretched arm. Come take a picture with me.
Her lips were supple and her nose was sun kissed, her hair bleached and tousled from the saltwater. She would motion for you to come over and you would go, because you always did, to fit into the frame next to her, cramming yourself in wherever you could after she found her best angle. She would hold up the camera and wrap her arm around you tightly, the smell of her tanning oil and sweat floating around you in a heady cloud, and at the last moment she would press her lips to your cheek and whisper cheese.
You blink and look at the water again, a seagull squawking as it flies over the empty beach. Reaching into your jeans pocket and feeling for the photo, you pull it out and look down, the moment she clicked the button frozen in time on the paper in your hand. Her side profile was radiant, the wind blowing her hair around her lips which were pressed to your face, you looked straight at the camera with a shy smile, a hidden smile, a quiet smile. An honest smile.
You run your thumb across the picture reflexively before sighing and putting the picture back in your pocket, it was one of the last photos you had together and it was one of the only ones you could clearly make out your own face. That always bothered you. Now you’ll never forget how happy we were today. I love you. She shook the polaroid until it was developed, then pressed it into your chest and winked, waiting for you to grab ahold of it, before turning on her heal and running towards the water.
Your chest burns for a moment before you straighten up and set your jaw. You feel good today, closer to her than usual. Today might be the day. You follow the path through the dunes towards the water and concentrate on the tide, watching the foam and the water snake along the shoreline. It’s windy, but not as windy as it usually is this time of day. The sky, clear and clean of any clouds, is the colour of blue that reminds you what happiness is. Or was, you know, before all the shit happened. When life was something you had the ability to process, sometimes even enjoy.
Now or never. Your head whips up at the sound of her voice and you see her, standing in the water. You feel the blood rush to your face, your core warming. There she is, running a hand up her stomach towards her chest and smiling at you, the kind of smile that would get good people into bad situations.
Slowly you slide your sneakers off and kick them aside, wiggling the sand between your toes. You’re not wearing a bikini but the beach is empty, so you close your eyes and listen to Lacey laughing from the water, come on scaredy cat, nobodies looking, as you peel your top off and drop it into the sand beside your shoes. You unbutton your shorts next and let them slide down your legs, stepping out of them hesitantly.
Lacey walks out of the water, so you keep your eyes closed, knowing if you open them she will be gone, and you wait for her to bite her lip and smile at you. There. Look at your body. You’re beautiful. Come on. She guides you towards the water with nothing but her own bare skin and confidence, nothing could ever touch her. You know its only a few steps until your feet are in the water, you should open your eyes and look around to make sure nobody is watching, but you don’t get to see her often anymore between the Valium and the other stuff, so you forgo it for a few more seconds. Today is the day, you have to do it. Time is running out. She’s all but told you as much.
“I miss you” You say, but your voice sounds foreign and it breaks and scatters into the wind.
Im right here. Lacey smiles at you like she always did, her crooked dimpled grin, her perfectly straight white teeth, her eyes shining. Now shut up and get in the water.
You feel the warm dry sand turn to wet firm sand beneath your feet, you know you’re close. It’s ours, all of it. The water. Just let go and let the Ocean carry you. You’re weightless. Isn’t it perfect?
Your breathing is shallow and your palms are clammy. There’s a tingling sensation in your thighs and you feel dizzy. You have to open your eyes. No, don’t. Not yet. Stay with me.
The water touches your toes and your eyes shoot open, you recoil and lose your footing, falling backwards. You crab crawl away from the water until the tide retreats and you feel your vision tunnelling as Lacey fades into the sunbeam above the water.
You scramble back to your clothes and pull your shorts above your sand stained underwear, your shirt smoothing your hair down as it settles back over your shoulders. You take a few deep breaths until your heart rate slows down. A tear springs up and sits in your eye for a few moments before falling and drying on your cheek. The beach is the best place to cry. The ocean is loud so nobody hears you, and the sun is hot so the tears dry fast.
You don’t want to turn around and look back at the water, you know she won’t be there. You’re alone, properly alone, just like she said you would be, psychic bitch. If she hadn’t been so charismatic and beautiful and conveniently wealthy, people would have outcasted her for being a freak a long time ago. What with all the tealeaves and palm readings and ‘gut feelings’. But they never did, her family had more money than the Kennedys and she looked like she walked runways for fun on the weekends, so she was untouchable. Your stomach starts to turn as you think about it so you blink the ground in front of you back into focus and start walking.
You have a few minutes of freedom left before She starts calling and asking where you are, so you walk slow to savour it. Who knows when you would be allowed out long enough again to go back.
You emerge from the tree cover into the parking area, pondering how many different routes you can take to get home to elongate the drive, when you hear a car door close. You look up, pulled from your thoughts, and squint to see through the bright sun.
“‘Scuse me!” A voice says, deep and friendly. A silhouette is moving towards you, so you bring your hand up to block the sun from your eyes. “Hey, sorry, do you live around here?”
You blink a few times as the silhouette gets closer and make out the figure of a tall man with wispy hair and baggy shorts.
“Sorry?” You reply, still trying to get a clear image.
“Im just trying to find the Marina but I have taken at least 5 of these side roads and all I keep finding is empty damn parking lots.” The man stops a few feet from you, close enough that you can make out a tan face with a toothy grin, and blonde hair. “First one with a pretty girl though, so I must be going the right way.” He smiles at you confidently, shielding his own eyes from the sun, but still squinting.
You look back over your shoulder to the beach, confirming Lacey is gone. You turn and look at the man who is watching you intently, hopefully, and smile quietly.
“Yeah, it’s uh…its just back on the main road, go 3 clicks south and take a right at the fork. You’ll see a fancy sign for a beach club, it’s just past that.” You look past him to the old Ford truck with rusted wheel wells and smile to yourself. “Assuming you’re not going to the beach club.”
The man laughs and smiles, looking over your shoulder at the beach before his eyes settle back on you. “Nope. Never been to one of those…legally.” He winks and backs up a few steps, then nods and says “Thanks” before turning and walking back towards his truck. He slows as he reaches it and stops, then turns back and pivots before jogging back to you.
You wait and watch, curious. He stops a few steps away and stretches out his hand.
“Sorry. That was rude of me. Im JJ.”

henlo yza <3 ,
hdjdkd i don't really have much knowledge abt different techniques & kind of dances so when the steps match the lyrics i'm like '!!! wow yes i love it' fhdjdjskks also bc i've grown up watching these kind of dances only so my that's what i tend to notice first hdjdjddk it is also one of the reason why i decided to stan svt dwc, oh my, thanks & our dawn is hotter than day's choreo details really impressed me.
maybe vincenzo is your svt club & ur so valid for that <3 hddjdjekek also pls don't say sorry!! you can talk abt it as much as you want i like knowing what you think. i'll let you know how was it for me when i complete it. & no homecha hasn't ended yet (idk if there are 16 or 14 eps i haven't checked) it does come on weekends, counting this sunday's ep, we're at 12th rn.
i get that fjdjdkkd i used to be the same 😭 always waiting for dramas to end so i can binge watch because not knowing what happens next would kill me. but idk when this happened, my will to watch anything died down bc the eps are just there, available for me to watch anytime. im like 'i'll watch it next time' but next time never comes 💀. this year i've watched no-air ones only hdjssj very surprising for me ( also my wack memory & svt content supports me by forgetting abt it after weekend ends dhdjdkkd) anyway i'm very excited to see how you like homecha!
CHURCH BOY JOSH HDHDJDDKKSLSDJ church boy josh, cringe domestic boy, joshua numbers. we've come up with so many nicknames for him in few asks only 😭😭 dbdjksksk deserve actually. BUT SO TRUE I STILL HAVE NO WORDS FOR HIM. THAT WAS- JUST- WOW OKAY WE SEE YOU 😭😭and dino lip piercing and hoshi eyebrow slit..... so sexy of them. cb concept pictures haven't come out yet & they're already shinning!! love to see that. also now we have gyu and hoshi's wedding reception pictures & cottagecore hannie (with that collarbone picture right in middle >:( wth mister but also hbd ig <3) being added in the equation.
IM CRYINGGGGGG THEY LOOK SO CUTE THEY ARE SO CUTE NOO 😭😭���� HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THESE COVERS WTH (being the ex-directioner and all dhdjkdsksk). I SMILED SO WIDE WATCHING THEM <///3 it's been so long since i heard one thing wow lol. but! this means they know who zayn is. thank you for this jdjssk this is going to keep me happy for some time hdjdke. SUNDAY MORNING EHJEJEKE 😭 thank you <3 dndjdj
IKR???? IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CB I'M ALSO EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE IT WITH YOU. agreee truly bless svt for helping keeping us from losing it over life (by making us lose it over them) tbh sometimes it worries me too with the way contents keep dropping but just now in these unit interviews being released, perf unit shared how they have ppl who encourage them to be okay with their tiredness. things like that put me at ease. hope they rest well from time to time too. honestly just looking at their tour schedules i used to get tired because these dudes used to have more shows and less day offs and some of them being used to just move from one city to another. i hope in coming years pledis changes that lol.
sameee for the poster release hdjdkeek. also even though there was scheduler, i forgot abt the concept trailer 😭 it was raining & bcoz of that power was out as well & i don't use data dhdjdkdk. i think 5 minutes after 12 kst power came back (you can say joshu's sparkler brought it back hdjdjdks) it literally left me speechless. yk that meme ' everyone remembers what they were doing & where they were when it happened ' that's me & you with this cb hfjdkd honestly that's everyone with this cb me thinks.
seventeenies bringing the grass to you w their posts djdjkd ( btw you can always tell me if silly little jokes get out of hand i wouldn't ever like to make you uncomfy) but seriously i hope uni doesn't give you hard time. don't worry much just keep moving forward, at some point whatever is making you feel stuck will move away eventually.
is it that obvious? 😭😭😭😭 no i don't like rain at all dhjddk (i actually didn't dislike it as much during teens) mostly because road drainage system sucks here & we live in lower area so even moderate rain causes water logging. i'd give you some rain but this one's bad so i won't </3 ( as if i could if it were the good one 💀) stay hydrated!!! drink two sips of water everytime you hear dino laugh, i hope it cools a little soon.
