Ren Fest - Tumblr Posts
If you're an author/writer, a maladaptive daydreamer, alt, a cosplayer, into DnD/Roleplay, enjoy fantastical fashion, or generally just have a love for fantasy fiction... you HAVE to attend a Renaissance Faire at least once in your life.
I'm most of the above and it was an amazing experience for me. Entirely liberating. I forgot my job, my disorders, my responsibilities. Completely tossed aside my stress for an entire day. There were freaks everywhere; unusual humans of every lovely variety. My friends and I met so many great people. Anti-facists, anarchists, goths, punks...
I'm from a small town and know next to no alternative people. The X's on my gloves, safety pins, the yellow laces on my docs- people don't understand it. There I was able to speak the lingo and made friends in the process. At one point or another I was offered alcohol by a new acquaintance. Told them I was straight edge. Instead of looking at me weird, they GOT IT. Even apologized and asked if it would be disrespectful for them to drink in front of me. I'll tell ya, punks supporting other punks... nothing better.
It was like coming home.
quick self portrait while I get hyped for Ren Faire season
Confession time.
When I was in jester training as a child I used to stand outside shops at Ren fest to try and bring in guests-- I would often sing opera because my teacher worked at one of the corset shops, but I was selling programs and maps or something one time and there was some dad with his family i managed to pull off the road and i told him "ill give you a good deal. You buy ONE of these for the PRICE of TWO, I will give you the SECOND ONE for FREE, because you paid for it." And it worked.
Am I still in act one of bg3 because I’m a lil scared to move onto moonrise towers? Yes. Is it also because I want to make sure I explore everything thoroughly. Maybe. Is it because I want to boost my ratings with certain characters? Most definitely
On a separate not I’ve been thinking about going to the next ren faire if I get the chance but I’m a bit unsure
Makin things for renfair :]
