Honestly a giant inflatabke dragon i can lay on is just cozy sounding
yeah! and the "anti-rave" sounds so relaxing. dim, quiet, soft. perfect my autistic ass LOL
Inflatables are nice ☺
As someone watching this from outside this community… Ngl kinda weird but man I commend these people for finding light in this crappy world. They unapologetically carved out their slice of paradise and let go of shame…I truly envy that. I think this is a lessons that if it ain’t hurting nobody, you should always do what makes you whole and happy, no matter what others think. Nowadays we are too wrapped up in other people’s perception of us and too hostile to things we don’t understand. Thank you pool furries, today you have opened my mind a little and have broken a barrier holding me back in my own life. Never thought it would be the furry community of all people to do this.
This community sounds like a microcosm of the fandom as a whole. They even had to give the speech about calling it a kink being reductive. It's got the community and belonging and expression. It sounds lovely. That story at the end very much had me tearing up.
i was expecting fetishy stuff, but this was so wholesome and i cried.
Right!? Was 100% expecting thus to be a vore thing.
You cried?
The red dragon fursuit is into it like a fetish it's on his Twitter 18+ account
those big rooms full of people in fursuits playing with pool toys actually look really, really fun.
I actually cried. I’m a furry and although I respected people in this niche before, I have so much more love for them now! The empathy I felt for the interviewies is so deep. Thank you for showing me how wonderful this community is!
10:35 omg his fursona themed pump is so cool... love this documentary. really respectful look at a side of the furry fandom I never really knew much about. so awesome!!
I like that you explored the therapeutic side of this, and how the community supports each other, it's not something that is explored often. Fantastic work!
It’s an interesting time to be here at the start of inflatable furries and I don’t know what the future holds but I’m glad I met some amazing people through this world.
Yooo, Ronin! Good to see you here dude!
Weird to think about us being "in the start", but I still remember tuning into Rawr/Arin's artstreams over 10 years ago now.
Stay safe messenger!
There's quite a few of us still around from the beginning. By the time PuffyPaws started I had already been caught with inflatables twice in the army.
The Interviewer’s and interviewees seems so sweet. I’ve been apart of the fandom since 2017 and only knew small bits of this side of it. I brushed it off as another sexual part of the fandom I simply wasn’t interested in but now I see it’s so much more and I appreciate this documentary for showing me that. I am glad these people have found something that helps them through such tough things. For me it’s plushies so I understand
I absolutely love how wholesome and genuine this doc was laid out! It hurts my heart when docs on niche subcultures are othering and make it seem stranger than it is.
With these documentaries I find out more about the fandom despite being here for a while. I recently found out about this channel and I am so glad I did, great job and thank you.
Glad you enjoy it! I really love making these
@@AshCoyote where this located
I had a "Wembly", which was basically one of those big inflated balls with handles you can bounce around on, that was my utmost favorite toy as a child and thinking back on those memories riding around the yard with it are so comforting. That was my favorite inflatable.
I was taken aback the very first time I went to an inflatable panel MFF 2014. I’ve always eagerly attended these panels every time I see them at cons. I wish we had something of this scale on the east coast. I’d probably cry a lot 😅
It’s definitely a little odd, but it’s still pretty cool. Being able to release your inner child is always fun
So many of my dream inflatables were featured here. Seeing the other people enjoy them motivates me much more to save for them.
Which ones are they ?
Such a awesome documentary! As a inflatable fur myself this was amazing, described so many reasons why I’m in the community and why I love it. Share so many of the same reasons as others mentioned why I enjoy it! It’s a big safe space and a lot of caring people.
I can’t believe theirs documentary’s this well made on yt, good job ash and the other people who worked on this amazing documentary :3
Thank you so much!!! Be sure to check out the first episode as well
You have been on UA-cam at all then wtf r u talking about
@@mrmctasty_760i literally never heard about it until now, not every person would know or understand this, I don’t understand why you think every furry knew about this 😭
I am so grateful that these people have found community, support, belonging and ultimately family in these ways. This warmed my heart.
Didn't think I'd be watching an in-depth video on a furry sub-community in my lifetime, but I'm glad I did! This was unironically very sweet and very emotional to watch. Excited to see more videos going into the niches of the community, in the future!
This is amazing! I'm not a furry but I never understood the scrutiny for the fandom. Learning about stuff like this from a respectful insiders view on youtube is such a nice thing to see
Beautiful documentary. While I'd never heard of this part of the fandom prior, as a toy collector myself, I definitely felt a major sense of kinship with the lovely people you spoke to. I hope these wonderful toys continue to bring them joy, as they definitely brought joy to me. ❤
When they stopped to hug the guy that was crying due to the fire 🥲
Listen, it's not for myself personally, but seeing those people as happy as they are without hurtin anyone? Goal. Be happy fellas
I really enjoyed the “anti-rave” at FWA, I’m not particularly into inflatables but loved the calming underwater/deep sea feel to that room.
(I’m French fur of 28 yo living in Paris)
Thanks so much for all your documentary works on UA-cam 💙
It’s help me for explicated what’s the furry fandom to my family,friends etc...
It’s a safe space and it’s so cool really 👍🏼
This feels like a a theraputic, cosy subculture of the furry fandom which sounds lovely.
It sounds like a shared and community enjoyed hyperfixation, knowing the furry fandom is all about self expression, and holds a large demographic of neurodivergent people for that reason, I love that.
Okay NGL that anti rave looks so comfy lol
I haven’t finished this video yet but I feel the furry fandom in general lends itself to different forms of coping and expressing oneself. Even fursuiting lends itself to escaping from our reality and being an cartoony animal similar to cosplaying does to characters in stories. And it makes me so happy to see it embrace other parts. I also relate as someone who’s part of something that others might seem as a “weird fetish” but for me isn’t even close to that. This story also reminds me of a pink and purple princess bouncy castle I had growing up. I lived with my grandparents due to some issues so they spoiled me and I started tearing up while watching this because I remember the joy from being able to have friends and invite them to a bouncy castle.
this is kinda my fault but that "how do some people exist without having a kink" line kinda hurt lol. like im ace, so i dont have any kinks cuz i dont like sex, but im not that boring >:T
i wouldnt consider myself part of the furry fandom (more so furry adjacent than anything) but i was expecting this documentary to make me cry. it was so, so good. thank you!
I loved this so much. If it weren’t for squeaks I’d likely not be part of the fandom so it’s great to see them being showcased in this way.
Ash Coyote always makes the best Documentary Vids! I can’t wait to see this! >w
For many years I struggled finding an identity within the fandom that I felt truly happy with. That was before I discovered the inflatables community and changed my 'sona to a full time squeaky foxy! This documentary does a wonderful job of highlighting the appeal of these adorable squeaks and the wonderful community built around them.
I was there at Califur when someone broke QuiteFire's tiger. I legit teared I was so sad because I know how much that probably hurt.
My mental state have pet in this but man did I tear up watching this. It’s nice seeing documentaries that are this wholesome. Can’t wait to see more of your documentaries!
this video brought me to tears, the furry fandom and the inflatable community never fails to amaze me. when he said he owes the community his life i felt that in my heart ❤
This was so cool. As someone who loves inflatables, this video feels like the definitive take on our little corner of the fandom. I hope to go out to a convention someday and see some of the bigger ones that are beyond my price range in person.
I own stuffed animals because of my ptsd they really do take you out of the flashbacks
8:01 homie has his air pump in his sona's colors 😭💙
I’m a big plushie nerd and I love inflatables for the same reasons I love my plush babs, it’s amazing to have a tangible character to hug and play with! Tho I’ve never had the opportunity to attend an inflatables panel, one day 😤
(If y’all do an episode on plushies HMU! I do plush photography and do work for Emotional Support Plushies! 👀🤙)
Every furry is equally as strange, doesnt matter if its fursuits, inflatable toys, petplay or whatever else.
Its okay to be weird. Not everyone has to like you or think what youre doing is cool. You just have to be happy doing it.
An intresting insight into the community. I've only been a part of it for a short time as a 3D artist but it certainly gives you a perspective of what other people in the community are after in it.
I had no idea anything about inflatables and only knew about the panels, I'm so glad i watched this cause now i can have an appreciation for it :]
YESSSSS I am already so hyped for this video! Ive been so fascinated with this part of the fandom for a loooooong while 👀
Those things must cost a fortune
Some of them do
Heres to hoping more people get into the inflatable fandom side of things. All custom inflatables come out so cute thanks to them ^^
As a non-popper, I hate to see some getting popped for their owners' pleasure sometimes cause the inflatable that I saw is not even available or even possible to get delivered world wide
LOVE the consept of that "anti-rave"
I like inflatables
I own a intex unicorn float
She’s so cute I love her
They are especially great for the summer time
this was so sweet 🥺 one thing i really love is learning about people's niche interests and the community and inner workings that comes with. very cool, interesting, heartfelt, and so well crafted! i honestly teared up 🥺💛
This was such a beautiful documentary. Thank you for handling various furry subcommunities with such care 💝
A lot of my friends love inflatables and interacting with them. If they are looked after well, they can last for quite a long time
humans just want community and a sense of togetherness
thats why when someone likes sports; they do sport... when someone likes music; they do music..
the list goes on but we're all searching for other with our same interests and loves
After watching this I seriously cannot see why some people think inflatables are weird. I love Inflatables I think their so adorable and amazing looking. If I had the money,time and opportunity I would so commission an artist or proper amazing group of my own Inflatable 💗💗 Ash and everyone in this episode did a phenomenal job 💕💕
I really love humans sometimes, their passion and creativity and dedication to making the world a better place to be in.
I didn’t even know this community existed (other than some who like it for nsfw reasons but I have a feeling there’s a big difference) and now that I’ve seen this I kinda get it. There’s something really cute and satisfying about the look and shape and feel of a big bright inflatable animal. I’ve always loved pool toys because they remind me of Summer and I just like the bright colors and fun memories they bring, and this sort of thing reminds me of that. It’s also fun to collect niche things.
What an odd and fascinating side of the fandom! We are blessed to have a space to pursue whatever niche we want with full support and care.
Did I just get PBS intro'd at the very end?! X3
But seriously, I wish could have found the furry and pool toy/inflatable community sooner in life but also there is no time like the present! I want to thank you for this video and for all that you do Ash
This is so fascinating and wholesome! I can absolutely see the appeal in having a BIG huge inflatable critter that can hug and hold you while you sleep on it lol!
This was brilliant work folks, really well produced and gave a great insight into the Squeakie World - Keep up the good work - Sypheryan.
Fancy seeing you here! :D
@@louislamp indeed! what a coincidence! hehe
Rewatching this today because I love it just that much. This is beautiful ❤
I’ve never thought about this, I guess, “niche” and community before and honestly it does sound really nice sensory-wise.
This is really an excellently put together video, thanks for the time and effort to share this!
"Inflates you making you big and round"
-some racoon guy from twitter
Wow awesome inflatables
They are really epic when you take a look at them up close
@@AshCoyote that's true and I have Special Needs Autism and Sensory Needs as well. I have whale 🐳 sharks on my bed makes me sleep well
Great work Ash! You rock! It was awesome seeing the event through your lens. Thanks for all you do for the Fandom.
Also...thanks for making me feel like a movie star!
After seeing Odin’s video on it, I became pretty interested in this part of the fandom! I’m glad that it’s getting even more recognition 😁
this documentary genuinely bought me to tears, I loved watching people experience such happiness and such kindness... thank you for filming this :3 made my night
Nice to see my Red Dragon getting some love at 10:41 with Draz. I got the OK from Aaron, to get a version of one of his designs made into an inflatable. And that was the result.
I thought this was gonna be super strange at first, but then I saw the bouncy house and now I change my mind.
How do these always manage to make me so emotional
"Inflates you nice and round"
I'm so happy you covered inflatable furs so quickly for Beyond The Fandom! I've loved inflatables for such a long time and when I really opened up about it, it was incredible to see how many others there were despite the inflatable scene in Australia only being very small. It really helped to see how others talk about inflatables and to hear that they see inflatables the exact same way. They've always been something so unique to me as a way comfort and happiness. This really made my day!
Pool toys are cool
I don't see why people get weirded out by them
People get weirded out by stuff they don't understand, and I feel there's more to that to explore, I have zero braincells left and its gonna show!
Probably just the look. Like how some people find fursuits creepy.
I mean, my first experience with someone in the inflatable community was them sending some clear fetish work in a 13+ server. And when I mean clear I don't mean, "the character was an inflatable so it's immediately art made for pleasure." I mean... One inflatable furry shooting another inflatable furry with a taser or something, and the one tazed looked dazed and distressed, and the person who uploaded it said, "Ooughh wish that was me." Not appropriate for the server it was in is all I'm saying.
But this video helped me understand this part of the community more.
Because some of these inflatable things have holes in them so you can f*ck them. Maybe not with these now, but just yesterday I saw a channel with a giant inflatable "Goodra" with tits and everything. On some Asian channel.
its the sexual/fetish side that distrubs them
@@Cokepencilpsd Exactly that. I don't mind if you collect pool toys, I also collect stuff that other people might not understand, e.g. "Clipper", but I don't f*ck with my collection.
You do such a good job documenting the furry community. Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos.
I'm sorry that I wasn't a patron until tonight. I have corrected that mistake
While not my thing, it’s interesting getting a relaxed, insightful look into it. And you looked like you were havin fun on that bouncy castle Ash XD can’t wait for the next episode :3
Thank you for making this. I've always kept this side of me hidden because i worried i might look like a softie or like I'm not a grownup but this is really making me feel calmer. Thank you
THIS AD JUMPSCARED ME AT THE TOP OF MY GODDAMN FEED AT 4AM thank you for this ❤
Way before i became a furry, I loved pooltoys so much. Seeing two things combined made me feel so happy and exciting
I took a picture with the blue wolf inflatable at FWA, it's so nice to hear the story of the person who owns it and hear that they're such a chill person!
I've been researching inflatable fashion and started learning about inflatable toy fans in the last couple weeks. It is cool such a well done documentary just came out to learn more. I'd love to do a photo shoot with some of those inflatables.
im not super into inflatables but hearing about these stories was actually really cool. thank you for this!!
I dont get it, but he is a man of war so if he wants Inflatables he gets Inflatables, no questions asked.
Those numbers they‘re quoting-definitely inflated!
😋
Not _my_ niche of the fandom, but it‘s fun seeing others have fun, and it was nice learning a bit more about that subgroup.
Awe, darn! Got too busy and missed the premiere, amazing video as always Ash ❤ the effort you out in these videos is simply inspiring. I adore everything you come up with
This is super cool! It was interesting to have some of the extra background knowledge from watching another recently released fandom documentary about the inflatables community too. Also have to agree with the fact that the inflatable designs are pretty cute looking. Making me give serious thought to adding some kind of inflated blendshape to a 3D digital avatar model should I ever get to the point that I actually make one and release it. (I'm working on my blender skills. Not there yet though.)
I never would've guessed in a million years that there was a fandom for inflatables
I know very little about this part of the community so I'm excited to learn about it lol
As a inflatable toy collecter myself thank you for uploading this
* Insert Marge Simpson "I just think they're neat" *
this is super cool and informative as someone who enjoys pool toys its cool to learn more about the history. shout outs to my friend phenod!
This is a great documentary.
thank you ash for this phenomenal work. we need more & more of this furry documentary stuff in just as many places as possible. I am living for it, absolutely. i might really want a job that is furry-adjacent at this rate
Really impressive work, nice footage and amazing people. Love your work!
i actually have an inflatable of a bird, ind i was minimally aware of this part of the fandom. i love learning about our diverse intrests!
That was so well made, you people did an awesome job! And yes as an inflatable enjoyer myself I can say it all rings true! Thank you
Thank you for this absolutely fantastic episode, Ash! Very nicely done.
Im more of a big plushie fan, but the large scale and designs of these are very appealing ❤
So happy to see this finally released!! Went to the con in seaside and have been waiting for this :)
I have no idea why this appeared as an ad for me but sure, I'll take it
