Becoming a "Larper" Has Brought Me Insurmountable Joy
The word larp, or "live-action role-playing", has become something of a tiktok buzzword recently. It pretty much just means 'poser'. I and I'm sure many others have seen content bashing people who 'larp' various media, and for a time, I agreed. Who likes posers anyway?
That was, until I discovered the sheer ecstasy of being a larp.
Due to circumstance, I'm unable to watch The Boys. However, I was introduced to it by a friend, and since then, my whole fyp has been about nothing but the show. Slowly but surely, I came to love it. I revel in the larpery. All I know about the actual show is tiktok common ball. And I LOVE IT. I LOVE LAUGHING AT THE CONTENT WHILE KNOWING LITERALLY NOTHING AT ALL! I LOVE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT WHILE PRETENDING I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING! Maybe my life just sucks lately, but this new lifestyle of mine has greatly improved my quality of living.
The thing is, I haven't been caught either. No one has questioned me at all. These people yell and scream about larps all the time, yet can't even tell when one is in their midst. I'm not planning on stopping the larp anytime soon. I'm in my prime, after all. The moral of the story is, thanks to this new discovery, I feel such happiness and joy every time I pretend to know ball. I recommend larping to anyone who needs a little joy in their life! 😁
