I cannot BELIEVE I am making progress on training Fancy to "sneeze" on command!
It looks sort of like shaking her head no, so I'm not sure what verbal cue to use. Do I use "sneeze" or "achoo!" or do I train it in as potentially part of a funny "dialogue" during a performance? "Ya think?" "*sneezes NO*"
I really like them both!
Here she is looking regal and not like a shop towel, btw:
yes pls recommendations for paid snz content! ive been somewhat interested but not had a clue where to start (as someone who only rly listens to wavs on here)
of course! First off, it depends what your snz preference is (wet n messy, cute n stifled, harsh, etc.) cause tbh, that'll greatly influence your purchase decision more than anything else — but here's a buncha good ones that I like (and most of them are women sooo sorry if you're into guys 😅)
From Clips4sale:
Eliza Bea — super cute and sweet alt girl with a large variety of affordable snz clips, I especially love her scenarios and pre-snz face 💕
Princ3ss Kira — beautifully thicc with strong, spraying sneezes to match. Older clips are on the pricier side, so i'd recommend getting the ones on sale on Manyvids. Her "super sick sneezes" is my fav vid of all time.
Madonna Summers — gorgeous bombshell with bomb sneezes. Literally, cause they're explosive!
Ama Rio — the chhinkni queen, never fails to induce a dizzying fit every time.
Alexis Rain — a studio that gets a variety of girls (and a few guys!) to try vials of chhinkni! Their reactions and interactions are actually quite wholesome haha. My favourites are Tylee, Sushii, and Vanessa :)
From Manyvids:
Blow Mia — has uniquely powerful rapid sneezes, always knocks it out of the park, she even has a free vid up for you to sample!
LuluLoe — definitely on the raunchier side, but never have I heard such desperate, breathless sneezes 😩
plus honourable mention to @debachoory 's patreon, you rock 👏
happy exploring! and some tips — on their stores there's filter buttons to search just sneezing (cause they make other content too), and your best bet is finding clips where they use chhinkni if you want the most bang for your buck. Some peeps aren't good at inducing and only sneeze a few times.
You'll generally know if the content is good if they actually put effort in their previews/branding/scenario descriptions.
having this guy i'm into fake sneeze at me SIX TIMES after I jokingly told him to stop sniffling is NOT helping my humiliation kink. His teasing is relentless and my face is red.
I headcanon that J has beastly airborne allergies to pollen, pet dander, dust etc, because firstly James and John clear their throats a lot (as in more than average for fictional characters), secondly their voice is pretty nasally, and thirdly I want to project my misery ✨
I was fantasising the other day about being fingered by someone as they whisper dirty things in my ear, but ultimately being pushed over the edge by them play-acting a dramatic build up. Doesn't matter that it's fake - just the suggestion of it, and the very specific brand of indulgent teasing would take me out
you know that trick where people hide a fart with a loud noise like a fake sneeze? I think Harry could fail that Drama check in the most spectacularly embarrassing way
I heard of fake sneezes your birdie does; how can you tell the difference between a fake sneeze and an actual real sneeze?
Ooh I love this question!
It will vary a bit by bird and how they decide to fake a sneeze, Newt is a very dramatic man who has made his fake sneezes extremely obvious when compared to a real sneeze.
Here is a video of a big sneeze fit when Newt was sick, these are real sneezes. Some key things to notice are that his entire chest compresses with each sneeze as well as some wing movements and his head doesn't really move aside from the residual momentum of the body itself. The sound of the sneeze is also very airy, his mouth is pretty closed- the lower mandible is just making very small movements with each sneeze as air gets pushed through. With normal sneezes you will be able to feel a small puff of air exit their nares (nostrils), there may also be a small amount of clear discharge in a healthy sneeze. His body is also just a normal level of fluff, nothing particularly sticks out, he doesn't look excited about sneezing, he's just existing.
In Newt's fake sneeze you can see a lot more theatrics!
The majority of the movement is coming from his head, his face and neck feathers are fluffed out with excitement! This 'sneeze' is exciting and fun! he's having a good time! a little odd for a real sneeze to make a bird excited... His entire head is thrashing forwards like a human would to sneeze, now some species of bird may sneeze that way for real but we see that that's not the case for Newt. He's learned to copy a human sneeze gesture as well as the sound. His chest and wings aren't moving to compress air out very much either.
You can also see a lot of movement in his beak, every time a 'sneeze' happens his beak opens wide to allow sound to come out. There's also visible movement in his throat where he would be altering the way air flows over the syrinx to produce this vocalization, as opposed to the actual sneeze where the sound is produced just by air getting forced through the nares.
There are some very notable auditory differences as well, the real sneeze sounds like a puft of air whereas the fake sneeze is very raspy and there's varying tones to it. He's also very eager to make additional sound effects between these fake sneezes, he's already effectively 'talking' and he's excited so he keeps making noises just for the fun of it. With a real sneeze, especially one fuelled by an infection, the throat may be sore or they may be congested which would deter them from wanting to vocalize at all, let alone right in the middle of a sneeze-fit. Same as with people a real sneeze takes all the air out of you, you don't immediately have the breath to talk again - you need a moment to breathe in before vocalizing.
That being said some birds are very good mimics, there's many a case of parrots going to the vet because they were super symptomatic only to realize they were just having fun!
You never even post about fae stuff anymore, you are like a real person and barely a fae themed blog anymore, and that’s sad and wrong and I’m “super judging you about it” instead of “enjoying the things you post because they are genuinely interesting” and how dare you not exist for my consumption?
so you'd like to go on record as being 'pro' 'eating faeries?' 🤨❔
i’ve found that with the kittens shedding my nose has been acting up in the living room & my eyes get all itchy & watery. it’s also been fake spring a bunch here & will continue to be fake spring until may which means my sinuses & allergies will be all over the place… not looking forward to it
If you still wear a face mask in 2024 (in countries or regions where it is/was not a prevalence or norm before covid), what do you tell ppl when they ask you why you still do it? 😅 ngl I be having smartass remarks. Esp toward the ppl it irks unreasonably?
