Into the Labyrinthe

From intimate dungeon-delves to massive battles, my experience in LARP.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

it’s too bad there aren’t any socially acceptable occasions in which to capitalize on the sex appeal of being artfully covered in blood

[knitmeapony]

This is why I LARP.

Missy the Larper is the real MVP of the Hawkeye show. Making two new costumes in less than 48hrs is the real superpower.

[into-the-labyrinthe]

I usually go more renaissance recently, but I can see how a more Victorian time period or something steampunk might work now I look at this.

I miss LARP...

Racists Are Threatening to Take Over Paganism

The growing presence of racists in American Pagan communities threatens to tear the faith apart.

This is not news, but it is an important read, especially for people who were previously unaware of the trend of neo-Nazis stealing pagan symbols for their own.

If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist pagan, keep doing what you are doing, you are keeping the fight alive

If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist person who is not a pagan, help us spread the word of this, stand in solidarity with us as we kick the fascists out of our communities

If you are a fascist pagan, fuck off, this faith is a peaceful one

No platforms for fascists.

…and right here is why you see me starting to wear non-viking garb in the SCA. Because I’m really REALLY white and really REALLY not a racist, and I hate that these people have found their way into my weekend nerdery.

[unauthorized-magic-deactivated2]

I would posit that if you feel comfortable doing it, and if you feel supported, you should definitely still wear viking garb and not let fascist nazi bastards appropriate it for their own purpose without opposition. 🖤

Please, for the love of fuck, do NOT give up on either your religious paraphernalia *or* your hobbyist Viking swag because of this.  Y’know what you ought to do instead?  Be vocally and openly anti-racist.  Make it known that all this bonehead bullshit is not what we stand for.

And how do you make something known?  Well, a man by his speech is known to men.

Make fascists afraid to be vocal. Run them out and counteract their evil with overwhelming good. Make donations to charities that help people of colour under the public name and honour of Odin and Freya and Frigg and Thor. Shout louder than they do. I see a lot of fascism and disgusting vitriol in the comments section on videos from wardruna or heidlung - and something I’d like to do is reupload those videos with the express intent of curating the comments section heavily to keep that shit out. Most accounts won’t do that and they don’t notice how much hate is in their fan base. so I get really angry about these people taking music and culture that is expressly open and for everyone to pollute it in this way. If you know anyone personally that uploads videos to YouTube please remind them to curate that shit, report the bastards. Make statements that it’s not okay. Even one small platform is too one too many.

This witch curses fascists. I will not stand idly by while fascists, nazis, and bigots are, well, alive.

They are not welcomed in my church, my religion, my country, or my planet. All fascists should live in fear.

Reblog to send another fascist crawling back into the cesspool they came from.

For those of you who might think this is fake: it's not.

New waffenrock with ridiculous sleeves for my Empire character Danica (whenever I get to play her again). Quite possibly the silliest piece of kit I’ve ever created. 

[ashbless]

An excellent introduction to Empire by Mark Hulmes :).

Description: I hand sewed a pirate shirt using 18th century sewing methods

Bernadette Banner made a video about sewing an 18th century shirt and I know a lot of my followers have expressed wishes that they owned a floofy shirt like the one I have:

Mine was made by machine, but with hand finishing, so for those of you who find handsewing daunting, know that machines will still give you a delightfully poofy shirt to run around in.

When I made mine, I followed these instructions, which are translated into modern sewing terms from Garsault’s L'art du tailleur, published in the 1760s.

Hopefully having visuals and instructions will make it easier to understand the tricky bits, gods knows I would have liked to have been aware of Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner when I made my shirt!

Now, I know so many of you have been longing for the drama this kind of shirt gives, so I implore you: if you at all ever aspired to sewing, just try to make one, it’s not as hard as it looks. Make one and live your pirate/vampire/romantic poet dreams!

unfriendly reminder: this is a sex worker positive space. I will not tolerate the disrespect of sex workers here, and if you cant agree with that without a doubt then you're not welcome here.

[lumberjackloverboy-moved]

sure would be nice if people other than porn blogs and sex workers reblogged this

Too hot for physicking.

It’s not the heat so much as the humidity; I can’t even sweat properly…

Highguard Statues for the Navigators of Virtue camp at Empire LRP by Dale Clarke assisted by @goldenmochi “They’re shop mannequins, dressed, pinned (to create all the dramatic folds in the fabric), covered in resin to harden them off, gaps filled with expanding foam, carved, painted with masonry paint, with weathering added via wood stain. The plinths are handmade wooden crates for them to stand on!”
