Hello! It’s not overwhelming at all, I love answering questions! Sorry if this has been sitting in my inbox for a bit, I keep forgetting to check this account.
1) I don’t really use plural pronouns! If I was to describe myself in system terms, which I don’t I usually just say I’m plural, I would say that I’m a monoconcious median system with little to no amnesia (though my memory isn’t great). That’s to say that there’s less distinction between all of my personalities, let’s call them.
2) There was a factive in my old system (the one that went through a collapse) and I usually just thought of the person she was based off of as her source.
3) I don’t have Netflix, and I don’t remember what’s on there that I’ve seen in the past
4) mhm! It’s pretty good and was a part of my childhood
5) not really, all of me are mentally fucked so the only silliness we get gives a similar uncanny feeling (at least internally to me it does)
And thank you so much!!! Today is Saturday which means mask making day for me :]
Also it doesn’t bother me when other people have the name zephyr because I’m very detached from that name haha
hey! i saw that you wanted us to ask you stuff but these are just a bunch of random things i was wondering 😅 (no pressure at all to answer any of them)
what’s your favorite show?
do you have any media recommendations that have therianthropy/alterhumanity themes? (i’ve been trying to find some but no luck so far)
where’d you get your fake teeth? (i’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned having some before but if i’m wrong my bad)
are there any specific foods that help you feel more connected to your altertypes or that give you species euphoria?
what’s your favorite season?
is there anywhere specific that you’d want to travel if you had the chance?
again, absolutely no pressure to answer any of these. i hope you have a great day/night :)
Hiii! I can do my best to answer :3
I don't really have a favorite show right now, to be honest... but my comfort show is Bones :]
I've found that a lot of therians- specifically canine therians like wolfwalkers and from the bits I've seen it's pretty good! It's on apple TV I think :>
I made my fake teeth! They're made out of this thermal plastic that becomes like a moldable goo when you heat it up, but it dries white.
I find that certain fruits allow me to tear into them and that feels pretty wolf-like to me.. I'm not a huge fan of meat or other "canine" foods so fruit is a good alternative to me.
My favorite season is fall! But later fall that's close to winter, so like November-december.
And I've always wanted to go to England or Egypt! Though I don't think I'll ever do either...
Not culture. To preface this, I am NOT canceling anyone. I am discussing my personal feelings as someone who is Native American and a sex worker.
I personally have issues with pupyzu (the coiner of endel) because pupyzu (I forgot pupyzu's pronouns, so I'm just going to use pupyzu's username like a pronoun) previously coined a panindigenous gender related to dreamcatchers when pupyzu is white, and dreamcatchers are not in every indigenous tribe, so it is disrespectful.
I was also thrown off by the fact that pupyzu had kinks in pupyzu's DNI. I'm a sex worker, as said before, so I am very much pro-kink. Even if a kink squicks me out or triggers me, I'm not going to tell someone with the specific kink to not interact with my blog??? That just comes across as puritanical and kink-shamey. Someone else's kinks don't matter unless I'm going to be intimate with them, period, end of story. Having kinks in your (not you specifically, you as in the general sense) DNI just makes you look weird and kinkphobic.
Essentially, I'm not comfortable identifying with endel, and I wanted to ask if it would be acceptable if I coined an alternative label for myself? I'm not going to pressure other people to stop identifying as endel if they find it useful. I personally just can't separate the label from the coiner. (Kinda similar reason people use different lesbian flags because Emily Gwen was aphobic and bilesbophobic. Just as an example.)
Hello! I don't know how old this ask is but I JUST saw it!
Had some native friends explain to me that first bit and YIKES!!! Holy shit
Also hard agree, 0 reason to put kinks in a DNI unless you're a kink blog and that's your way of saying 'not interested.'
Anyways! Yes please give us an alternative! And make sure to @ me!:) I will switch over whenever it's made tbh.
HELLO!! I’ve followed u for a while now both YT and tumblr and just wanted 2 let you know that the term endel/endelic was coined by an account who has also coined racist/stereotyping terms. There is a post about it on @endelculture where an asker goes into detail about it.
To my knowledge an alt term hasn’t been coined yet,but I’ll keep looking.

Oh tysm for sharing this! I personally have never used the endel/endelic terms but this is still good to know! I’ll go check out the post.
I use foam clay! For canines, I form the clay into a relatively smooth ball, squish it onto the mask, shape it, then glue it on. For felines, I make a ball, the make it into a kind of triangle, then mold it on the mask and glue it. I have a little sculpting tool that I use for the holes on the canine noses. And I use water and some patience to smooth everything out.
Edit: I use dishwasher safe glossy mod podge to seal it after painting it, which is why they are shiny!
Helloooo!! Do you know what species of wolf you are,or is it just like generally wolf? Or even every species of wolf? :]
/gen
I'm definitely a Grey Wolf, but I'm not sure about my subspecies. My hearthome is somewhere like a taiga (or generally icy forests) but very likely Alaska. So I have a feeling I'm an Interior Alaskan Wolf or a Northwestern Wolf, but it's hard to determine for sure.
