Hm. Lesson Learned About Myself; I Am Just As Prone To Walls Of Text As Everyone Else In This System Is So Far - Tumblr Posts

It took a while for there to be a situation in which I was comfortable fronting to be able to respond, especially since we're so new to this, but I wanted to respond myself! I'm the Enderfolk in question! Ranboo^^

I didn't even think of platform boots!! We've wanted a pair for a while but now that you say it that would be really nice, especially since our body is so short. Even by human standards it's short, by Ender standards it's just one of those humans that you'd look at and wonder if you'll break it. All the clothing tips are super helpful, thank you! Even though I'm black/white split, there's ways to show that in clothing as well. (We even have a hoodie that technically is a Monokuma hoodie from Danganronpa, but I'm stealing it for black/white reasons.) I'm hoping someday we can get those little ear cuffs that look like longer ears, since jewelry is good but earrings feel especially Ender to me. Definitely the gold, too. For me personally it's because in my canon so many of us get sort of adopted into Piglin villages after getting just plonked into warped forests backrooms-style. (In case the reference doesn't make sense: in my lore, we just sort of "teleport" unwilling out of the end and into the warped forests at random. It's a one-way trip.)

I might also have to start walking some, since we've been wanting to walk more for ages but have never had the time/energy/etc. Looks like another headmate and I are likely to be in charge of that so far :D Thank you so much for the response, and such a well-thought-out one at that!! Some things will take some time to work on, such as our clothes (we all have distinct styles and no money lol) but hell if I wanted to I could paint my nails tonight. This was really helpful!

Oh and as a final note I don't find it odd to say good luck with our plurality at all! It's a new thing we're still figuring out so it's definitely a bit of a maze to walk through. /lh And yay for there being other Endermen on the internet! Have a good day as well^^

Now that I've posted about it I can send you this ask without worry: I've absolutely adored your enderkin posts for some time, to the point that I started questioning if I was otherhearted but it just felt very wrong/like there was more to the picture. Turns out I'm plural, and one of my headmates is Enderfolk/an Enderman. Much to my amusement, I followed you for draconic content and now the enderkin content is suddenly MUCH more relevant.

That part was just because I think it's silly and might entertain you to know, but I did actually want to ask- are there any ways in particular you affirm that part of your identity? We're looking for ways to sort of affirm each other as individuals and I'd love to see what you have to say!

akdfjsjdh it makes me so happy to hear that, you have no idea!!! i'm always blown away when people tell me that my posts helped them realize things about their own identity; i never ever thought that my little blog could have such a big impact on others. so thank you!

and congrats on the headmate(s)! another enderman friend, yay!!

oh, good question. well youre in luck because today is what I call an "enderman day", which just means that im more enderman than dragon today (having two kintypes means that one will inevitably be more prominent than the other from time to time, and that's okay), so here are some tips that may help you!

okay this may seem a little obvious but, wear clothes that affirm your identity. on enderman days like today i like to wear darker clothes and tall shoes (black converse or platform boots are my go-to for enderman euphoria). i also have purple sunglasses that i wear from time to time, that also serve the purpose of protecting my eyes from the sun as they are pretty light sensitive. padded fingerless gloves are great if you have paw pads, and you can paint your nails black if you have claws (you can sharpen them as well, but i personally prefer to keep them short for sensory reasons). you can also wear jewelry as that feels very enderman-y to me for some reason; i personally love earrings and rings (especially if theyre golden!).

appearance aside, other things i love to do as an enderman are walking and people-watching; you can even combine them for maximum effect. if i know one thing about endermen is that we love to watch, especially humans. i personally like going for a walk with some music or a podcast, and just look around to see what i can find. i sometimes pick things up from the ground and carry them around, or even take them home. it sounds silly, but wandering around is an activity i really enjoy. endermen are wanderers, after all.

another behavior that i like to do are vocals. i make enderman-like sounds such as vwoops, little clicks and purrs; these are the ones i like the most and are easier to do with my human mouth, but you can experiment with the ones that work for you!

and finally, just playing Minecraft on my tablet is a very good source of comfort. i like to visit my hearthome, the warped forest in the nether, and just chill there with the other endermen.

thanks for the ask, and good luck with your plurality (is that something people say? no idea :D). have a good day!
