ALLRIGHT HERE'S THE ANNOTOPIA POST!!
First off we've got day 1. I hopped out of bed at 9:30 and got ready and we rolled out at around 11 with my bff being the driver
We did our initial tour of the festival grounds to see where everything is this year around, had some good old curry sausage for lunch and then watched the opening parade at 2pm which you can see on the following pictures
and after we went out little aesthetic walkie walk, we spent the most of our time in the post apocalypse camps, they had a really cool punk rock stage show there going on and also (most importantly) a slushie booth
and then we did some chilling and tomfoolery at the pond of the park. My bff took some cute pics of me there, I also took some cute ones of her but she wants me to cover up her face if I post them but I think that ruins the pictures so youi'll just have to imagine my cottage core sweetie princess in your little heads uwu.
and with that we ended day 1 because I had to be home in time for raid night.
On day 2 I drove and we all went in a more casual look so I didn't bother with a fit check, we also spent most of our day actually spending money there and taking less pictures so there aren't that many. Basicly we arrived at around 2pm after we picked up our buddy who some of you know as hiyuu shiyuu from my ffxiv fc and raid posts.
We did our tour of all of the shops, got hiyuu a cute top and a hat, my bff got herself a set of runestones, a tarot deck and some jewelry. about 3/4 of the way around the market place we got to witness this scene
caused by the dark lord (the poor bastard in a full black plated metal armor in 32°C summer heat) accusing jack sparrow of owing him money, followed by the vikings, the pirates and the post apocalypse running in to help jack, only to instantly get knocked down by an earthshaker spell.
Once we were done shopping we all got ourselves a slushie, chilled by the lake again and then went to our traditional dinner at mcdonalds in full fantasy get up.
Here is my loot from this years festival:
I got myself a set of snake themed runestones and a little fairy bunny from a shop called AnnkasAnderwelt on instagram and these two sword-hairpins from a nother shop that I didn't get the name of sadly.
The runestones are made from resin and some of them have real snakeskin (from natural shedding, no snakes were harmed in the making of these) and pages from what I believe to be the german classic the golden pot in them (the book features a character called serpentina who can turn into an emerald snake).
The runestone set also came with a pendulum, a pentacle charm and this random wooden stick....yeah I'm not sure what the stick is for so I have it to Fluffels (the bunny, his full name Sir Fluffles McFluffington the Wolpertinger) as a chew toy.
and i got this black canvas two piece
the grey pattern is hand printed on with these lenoium shingles that you have to handcarve, roll the paint on and then stick it on the fabric, according to the shop owner they were going for a pagan witch meets viking fantasy kind of vibe and I guess it checks out. I'm not sure if I'll ever use this for any larp character but I for sure will wear this at home, it's super comfy.
Also eveyone please apreciate my one again random pile of stuff behind me. I have offically given up on not having a pile on the guest bed so it is what it is now. Right now it's just all my larp stuff that doesn't need to be washed but still needs to be put away or have some other kind of maintainance done on it.
My bff is thinking about going post apocalyse next year, I'm not so sure what I'll do or if I can even make it next year because of my apprenticeship but I guess we'll see.
