fakendel
anonymously created April 1 2022 through this page
noun ; a delusional mis/identification of the self as a fae, changeling, or other creature that is impersonating a specific human or the human species in general.
from fake (counterfeit, imposter) and Endel (a delusional alterhuman identity)
q&a
Q ; [any question relating to the word Endel]
A ; check out the Endel Carrd and FAQ (the creators of Endel terms are not affiliated with this site)
Q ; what species count as fakendel?
A ; any species or being that impersonates specific people or humans in general, in a way that would make one feel that they are an imposter of a human. the most obvious of these are changelings, fae, and other [human] brood parasites.
Q ; what if my identity isn't based in/heavily influenced by a delusion, or I'm not delusional?
A ; then you can't be Endel (as Endel literally means "delusion caused"), and therefore can't be fakendel
Q ; what are similar non-delusional terms?
A ; just the name of your species, identifying as an imposter or brood parasite, essentially everything fakendel describes except the delusional piece
symbolism
all fakendels may use the Endel flag and strawberry (found here).
all current specifically fakendel symbols are by the anonymous creator of this Carrd and also originate at 4/1/22.
the mock strawberry
the fakendel symbol is an edited version of the Endel strawberry, altered to look like a mock strawberry as a reference to the feelings of impersonation inherent in the identity
the flag
flag with logo; the logo is optional
the simplified/ standard flag
the flag is also modeled after the Endel flag; the left half is identical to the Endel flag. The center stripe that tints the colors grey is representative of the grey area fakendels encompass, with the oversaturated and slightly shifted colors on the right representing both one's true identity and one's human performance.
community
given that fakendel is an extremely new term, there isn't currently a large community.
if you're interested in the label, consider joining Weird Eggshell Tricks, the first server intentionally centered on fakendels (as well as fae, changelings, and similar in general)!
