#larp stuff

[siegazpan]

larp larp in case a history buff stumbles across this and wants me dead for it, I apologize beforehand, list of the actual medals from history:

British order of medals, communist east germany - order of germanica that would worn on his collar, OBE(officer of the empire), (OM)Merit, (OG)gallantry, and wounded in battle and order of bravery inspired off of yugoslavia in no particular order

his inspirations r broad and no means historically accurate as it is from various other influences(the link would be communism at most) his canon inspos are already the Prussian helmet pickelhaube and british infantry uniform inspired (may i also add the royal prussian colors) to the mix

"why wouldn't you take inspo from norway since tord is from there?" a friend of mine thought of this, and reasons are norwegian uniforms do not align with his canon colors(the navy blue and red), if i had to, he would've worked for the Norwegian royal family, as only members of the nobility were permitted to use dark blue. Same goes with Britain, excluding the navy. Future tom doesn't have direct sources, hes just there to look pretty, my main reference was this, im not sure where? but thats tomska alright!

and ig regular run of the mill "think of a military uniform rn and what do u see?" and thats the image I thought of for him im not happy with these versions tho, i will try and work on it later are these headcanons too serious? yeah but i sure do love complicating things

I hate that larp is the word folk use to refer to fake fans of something.

It's lazy, does not convey real problem, and encourages gatekeeping, and most importantly associates LARPING, the actual activity, with disingenuous behavior and lying and faking enjoyment of some media or activity and and.

We worked hard to make nerdy stuff cool, now anytime people talk about larping, there's gonna think about the "new" meaning.

We already had a perfectly adequate word for these kinds of people.

You call them posers, not larpers.

In regards to PHM larp accounts

I do fear twitter has won with how many inanimate objects/things have twitter accounts currently. These are the reasons I stay on the internet

Details from my ongoing crochet/knitting/chainmail/whatever coat project

[tindome-art]

I technically didn't have to create an entirely new outfit for a Ninth House cavalier for 2D2F, but it's way too much fun... And so I thought, "I'll show off the details, and maybe that'll help inspire someone else!"

I tied bone beads on a black silk ribbon to the core-less foam dagger, bought a skull rosary and scratched IX into the largest, sewed a slightly wonky pendant of half a skeleton to the leg bag, and put those two daggered skull pins there, too. And hot glued a strap into another skull with a clasp ring. ...the IX button and skull on it are left from when I used it for Deidamia, because I like the look ^_^

More on the costume below the cut!

The robe, which is fantastically flowy and also works extremely well to fight in, is an abaya which I deconstructed. I did round and cut the bottom hem a little, so it wouldn't drag on the floor. Off with the zipper, ripped up all seams and belt holes! Remake, reuse, repurpose; it's the goth way since the 80's!

The holes are covered with jawless skulls cut from a lace ribbon, that also hold the sleeves slightly together. But having them slightly open/apart like the photo shows looked much better than putting the front and back together. Also the sleeves of my silk Ninth robe fits through them because layers, and I can never stop adding juuust one thing more on costumes (Gideon's in this case). I hope Saturday on NärCon Summer 2026 won't be too hot >.>

I'm planning to add more skulls to the former abaya... I like how it turned out, and might use it in everyday life. I know, after all, I will never play Casimir again (which is sad but all stories must end).

The hood is one my mother made and I wore during winters in my late teens. Fine black wool, lined with the same fabric for warmth and structure. I took off the "tail", rounded it off in the back, opened the front and made the veil (sewed onto the lining inside) from some random fabric. The hood is fastened to the robe/cloak with three snap buttons, and those two large metal skull pins. They're heavy enough to keep the robe from slipping back when I wear the hood down, an unexpected bonus! The white dots are some sort of dental prosthetics I drilled holes through and sewed on. Finally I had a use for another of those "this might work for something sometime" things! Also two lace skulls. Should've added more but I plain forgot!

Eighteen bone beads separated by a bone skull made a good clasp/cloak fastened thing when hung on the pins, too.

Oh, and there's the book! Don't worry. That will get its own post, because it contains poetry~.

So much handsewing, because I wanted a particular look or detail... Fun, absolutely, but why do I always?
