Soooo... Thoughts on this sort of thing has returned. It’s been some years since last, some reasons why I quit and all that. Starting to look at prices of ordering new stuff and seriously planning on doing some sort of event on this theme for CoT3 if there is one. Already one possible volonteer “victim” and one SFX artist that might be ready to go ^^
Convention of Thornes 2
Well, the larp was awesome! In every way on every day the organizers outdid themselves in every way. All of it was outstanding! Due to my methodacting approach to my character I have experienced "bleed" (a.k.a. character emotionality running over to me as a person after the game) way worse than ever. Not even sure that I have ever had real bleed before at all to be honest. However, that part is over and done with now. Less than a week later, which is a lot better than I expected considering how emotional I was right after and during the trip home.
The one thing I'm having a REALLY hard time with is an out of character issue. Not that I want to because I really don't, but I had a LOT planned with another player. No that's not entirely true, we didn't have a specific script. We did however talk a LOT in the week before the game and seemed to click very well. Or so I thought. We talked extensively on what kind of game we wanted, OOC boundries and everything. It even bordered over into sexual orientation (on her explicit initiative no less).
During the larp, we perform a ritual vaulderie ceremony. I can only guess that this was where I somehow fucked up or something. She did seem excited both before and imediately after, but after that she turned off her phone and didn't reply either ingame or offgame. Not until a full day after the larp ended when she replied about having turned off the phone and being sick. I answered that it was no worries. Then all of a sudden - mid sentence - I can no longer reply.
She has unfriended and blocked me. With no reason what so fucking ever. I e-mail and tell her that it's hurtful as fuck, but okey I guess. If I was that obnoxious I'd just rather she say so waaaay earlier. On the extensive topic on boundries I did ask her for ONE thing. That she not make me feel like a fucking idiot by ignoring me.
ONE thing!
What the fuck did I do to deserve that? :'( Even emailed to shortly explain how that was hurtful as fuck, but okey I guess if I did somehow overstep or something. Don't I even deserve an explanation? Guess not.
Reason for saying this? None at all since nobody reads this anyhow. Just getting it said for my own sake.
Studies show that watching people from afar, frequently touching someone, steering conversations toward sex, showing little emotional expression, having greasy hair, and being tall and extremely thin are the top behavioral and physical indicators of a creeper. Source
So you're saying I'm only 2 out of 7 (28,6%) creeper? Great news I suppose!
There are no words fit to describe the experience! In 20 years of larping, never have I seen anything come close to this blockbuster event. If ever you get the chance to visit a larp by Dziobak - TAKE IT!! Yes it’s way more expensive than what you usually go to, but waaaaay more worth it as well. The experience was as close to flawless as could ever be expected, well aside from being treated like absolute crap OOC by one player (seriously, when we plan ahead carefully discussing boundries the one god damned thing I ask that you not do - I bloody well expect you to, you know, NOT do just that)
After the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, many Civil War soldiers’ lives were saved by a phenomenon called ‘Angel’s Glow.’ The soldiers, who lay in the mud for two rainy days, had wounds that began to glow in the dark and heal unusually fast. In 2001, 2 teens won an international science fair by discovering the soldiers had been so cold that their bodies created the perfect conditions for growing a bioluminescent bacteria, which ultimately destroyed the bad bacteria that could’ve killed them.

What about only one pillow, but it's an orthopedic...?
Context: after arriving in a new city, my necromancer wizard looks through the wanted posters that are around making sure he’s not on any of them..
Rogue: Are you a criminal?
Wizard: Not here.
DM: That is the best reply I’ve ever heard to that question.
Fangirling!
When you’ve got a management position in a company you’ve been working parttime with for a couple of years and start screening LinkedIn for who else works there (a.k.a. trying to spot your minions before having access to the employee database) - and spot a member of a somewhat famous band you listen to somewhat regularly:
SQEEEEAAAAALL!!! :D
Letting go
Gaaah! Why is it so damned difficult to keep letting people go when you know nothing good comes with lingering? Ex relationships that were good for a long time but turned out to not work, ex lover that kiiiiiind of worked but only for a short time and only physically, ex whatever that was supposed to become something serious but found someone else more serious without telling you until having made sure. Not to mention that actually having an (open) relationship with a lovely and openminded partner - but still lingering emotionally on the above at times even though you don't want to. Gawd damnit, I really need to get out more. Socialize more. Move and start over. Or just about anything that involves a sound sense of feeling
Time off
First night in like, for-fucking-ever that I actually FEEL like there are no musts / deadlines / appointments / whatnot. Sure there have been lots of days where I've told myself to kick back and just do whatever I feel like for a couple of hours. No work, no overtime, no thesis, no homework, no job applications. Just wine and something I enjoy (fallout 4 has been the usual refuge) It's always been with the underlying understanding that it's just a short break so I've enjoyed it. Today though, I just feel hollow. All the failings and shortcomings I've endured for the last year (and more) just leaves me winded. Thinking that I should probably just stop being a dreamer. Stop being a fycking loser and just get real. Settle for whatever shit dead-end job I can get that at least pays decent money. What's the point of trting to reach for the stars of your ambitions when your rational self realizes that for every "take a chance and dare let go ti be all you can be" there are 10 disillusioned suckers that just washed up, whose stories just never get told because they are not inspirational. When do you realize that you're not the 1, but merely one of the 10. At best a supporting extra in the story of your own life.

Yeah okey, some countries should probably stop breeding and others should breed more. Or even better - everybody stop breeding, down to like 25% or so.
it seems so strange to me that the only people it is socially acceptable to live with (once you reach a certain stage in life) are sexual partners? like why can’t i live with my best friend? why can’t i raise a child with them? why do i need to have sex with someone in order to live with them? why do we put certain relationships on a pedestal? why don’t we value non-sexual relationships enough? why do life partners always have to be sexual partners?
My grandmother and grandfather more or less adopted my grandmother’s best friend back in the 50s. After my grandfather died (before I was born, back in 1968 or so) they continued to keep house together, platonic best friends, and they hung together until they died, a few months apart, in 2007.
It’s quite recently, as far as I can tell, that living arrangements like that have stopped being regarded as normal.
It’s absolutely a new thing to find this stuff weird, and it has a lot to do with media pretending that the nuclear family and marriage are the only reasons to live with other people.
I’ve lived in a 3 adult household my whole life. My parents and their best friend. This was never weird to me, even though everyone my age thought it was because the media never portrayed these kinds of housing arrangements. As far as i was concerned, I just had an extra non-blood parent.
According to my parents, it was very common in the 70′s-80′s to buy houses with your friends, because it was financially smart to do so (so long as you were certain they were close friends who wouldn’t fall out with you and fuck everything up). Houses and house payments are much more manageable when you split the bills 3-4 ways instead of just two.
Millenials aren’t the first to think it’s a great idea to just shack up with friends. That’s housemating without the hastle of living with strangers. It’s still a good idea to shack up with people you’ve known a long time so you know how you’ll get on living together, but still. In the current economy, it’s pretty much now our only option for affording anything.
I think, and I’m not researched on this, but I think conservatives probably tried to suppress images of non-nuclear families because they likely thought it would encourage ideas of polygamy, polyamory, open sexual relationships with or without marriage, as well as other relationship types they thought of as un-christian or unsavoury. I could be wrong, but that shit wouldn’t surprise me.
(And i want to make a note that there’s also a disturbing amount of asexual denial around that makes people go ‘if they’re living together they HAVE to be banging because why wouldn’t they?’ and that shit both creeps me out and annoys me no end. People can be in relationships without sex. People can live together without sex. Sex is not the be-all and end-all and people being taught to think it is really need to stop).
Don’t let the media fool you into believing you can only live with a sexual partner or blood family. Someone somewhere has an agenda for making these seem abnormal, when really it’s just practical.
As an aromantic, I would like to bring back living with platonic partners, because FUCK paying for rent alone is hard
I’ve actually had exactly that idea with two of my oldest friends. Mostly it’s just been a “haha, we should do this together instead of...” and all that. But really - why the fuck not? All three of us have decent-to-good jobs. We could live in a fucking mansion...
