Hey, everymany! While this blog *is* a safe-for-work sapphic safe space, unless you’re over 18 years of age in the prime material plane, ***you cannot be here.***

Sai Furthe (my homeworld) is an all-female planet of anthropomorphi — there’re a *bare minimum* of 21 intemorphic types (blonde / brunette / redhead for Column A, plus any of the 7+ janyati for Column B).

I myself am a lilac / white vixen and a Rhavic blonde. My fur is *suuuper* floofy, and I really like to keep my headfur up in a loose low ponytail. I paint my claws baby blue, and I also wear glasses that are honestly a lot like goggles (Furthelan glasses feature a strap that goes around the backa the head to help them stay on).

As of 22.05 CDT TUE 05.07.02’024 CE GD, I’m more or less the core and host of our system (the Orchards). There’re currently about 90 or so of us in Aethyrcadia, and new walk-ins still move in on a fairly regular basis.

Despite my Picrew as of the time of writing this post, my legs are actually *digitigrade*. Furthelani proudly produce an amazing selection of digitigrade footwear in my source material [1], each specifically tailored to the myriad rainbows of Furthelan types and species.

I understand that my identity might… *conflict* (to say the very least) with what the greater Feminine Empire has stood for historically and still stands for today, but all… “this” ↑ is just me doing my own thing. I realize that mixing these two subcultures together is *the* definition of unorthodox — if not utterly unwelcome, based on OG Femmeworld’s apotheosis of all things “up-to-date” (vintage, from a West Tellurian POV) [2].

Regardless, I’ve identified as an anthro vixen since *at least* late 2002 CE GD, and Aristasia is literally *the* reason I figured out I’m trans (MTF) in Shared Reality. Both Furrydom and Aristasia constitute a great part of who I am in this world, and both have brought the most *amazing* beings into my life — both *on* and *off*line.

[1] My source material’s an anthro AU of “Aristasia”.

[2] In the OG Aristasian story “The Adventure of the Crystal Staff” by Author Unknown, a talking rabbitlike creature known as a chenkireet makes an appearance. If talking animals can exist in canon, it’s not much of a stretch for anthro intemorphi to *also* exist in an AU.

**[Blueberry [Innerstasia]]** -*bows*- Good evening, everyone ^^ Just a small announcement — we [our system] did some brainstorming and had a vote, and we’ve decided to call ourselves **the Orchards**.

**[Yashi [Innerstasia]]** “Orchards” is a reference to Filianism. Filianic “paradise / heaven” (so to speak) is Avala, which is basically where God the Daughter helps you rest between lives. There are a *ton* of golden apple trees tended by celestial maidens (hence, an “orchard”.) Before we realized we were plural, our then-innerworld was essentially just a place we could go to be comforted by Rhiannë, because there were no external means to help us. Additionally, Angry Orchard was our beverage of choice when we finally regained a social life after 10 years of total isolation, and “Orchard” was even the name of our first (and now former) island in “Animal Crossing: New Horizons”.

“She is despised and rejected of maids; a Maid of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Her; She was despised, and we esteemed Her not. Surely She hath borne our kear, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Her stricken, smitten of keres, and afflicted” (cf. Is 53.3ff KJV 1769).

“Know well your own heart, and the thorns that grow therein; for without that knowledge you shall rarely pass through into the temple, nor shall you cultivate the flowers of the Spirit which alone make life sweet with their fragrance. … And truly, all sweetness is the far-blown scent of this sweetness, and all beauty is the pale and dimmed reflection of this beauty … Know then your heart and render it to Me; and I shall lead you to the innermost temple of your heart, whose form is the form of a rose” (The Filianic Scriptures 3.11.10-11; 3.11.15a-15b; 3.11.26-27 NCUV 2nd Rev. Ed.).

Telluryani learned about furry art greater than or equal to 23’000 years before they learned about agriculture. Don’t believe us? Look up “the Löwenmensch figurine”.

“From the mountain’s rayant pinnaclé to the troublèd waters of the sea, O Rayan’, thy rule doth run as coursers of the sun; we pledge allegiance unto thee. We do pledge allegiance unto thee, we do pledge allegiance unto thee, we do pledge allegiance, O Rayanna, we do pledge allegiance unto thee” (“The Aristasian Imperial Anthem”, First Verse and Chorus).

We had a dream last night where anthros once existed in Shared Reality (as in flesh-and-blood anthros living like everyday humans) a long time ago in some remote village, but that we (as a Commonwealth) could never under any circumstances share that knowledge with anyone under some looming threat from some entity.

“For She who governs the endless ages governs also the hour of every action. Let your voice call on Her in pure simplicity, for She is the Lady of the noontide and the Lady of the night, the Lady of the mountain and the valley. … Do not covet the riches of the world, but give forth freely of them. Do not seek more than that shall maintain your body, or give your life to the pursuit of wealth; for the wealth of this world shall vanish as the wealth of dreams, but the wealth of the soul shall be manifest a thousand fold in the worlds to come. Who shall envy the mighty of this world that are the captains of a sinking vessel? The simple heart is heir to wealth beyond all knowing” (The Filianic Scriptures 3.1.24; 3.8.28-31 NCUV Second Revised Edition).

“You shall obey your Lady, though all the world deny Her; and thus obey each lady of the earth whose authority flows from the fountainhead of Her truth … for though in this place you seem only but a few, and Her servants reduced to a remnant, yet in truth the age of the unbelievers is but a moment in the endless stream of time, and this world only but a grain of sand on the shore of unnumbered worlds. In truth you are surrounded by the bright host of Her children, serried through time and space, in whose light the unbelievers are but the remnant of a remnant, and their world but a cobweb in the midst of a glittering palace. And you are one with that shining host; each radiant soul is your sister” (The Filianic Scriptures 4.2.23,25-28 New Celestial Union Version, Second Revised Edition).

The Orchards had a vote. As of this week, our inner world (Innerstasia) is now called Aethyrcadia — this reflects our inner world’s Spelljammerlike aesthetic.
