Dancing and drinking, feasting and gifting. Roaring fires made from entire tree trunks and cauldrons full of mulled wine, the singing of a thousand minstrels flowing throughout their palace, answered by the bells ringing on the large sleighs pulled by those beautiful white bears.
- The Winter Court's Solstice, A Court of Frost and Starlight
Why do ren faire goers pretend to be anything other than dnd nerds and lotr and acotar cosplayers gallivanting at an outdoor con?

(Also I know there are obviously others that go too, like Shakespeare fans and even potc fans and also just people who vibe with it too but in my head it's all cosplayers lol. This is said with love, as one of those people)
"So... it has been some time, but we are reaching a new threshold and peak within our organization. However, I do not wish to discuss business with my Court today, so much as celebration - It is soon to be a time of celebration as the world reaches the end of the month of December - and as much as no two celebrations are truly the same, there are so many similar celebrations for the Winter Solstice or near it, that it is hard to deny that overlap may be inevitable, or not entirely undesirable in as disparate and varied a group as ours."
"Therefore and thusly, I wish to announce that until the Eve of the New Year, all members, wards, employees, allies, and associates of the Court of the Wanderer - as well as their guests - are welcomed to join a series of ongoing Festivities - Mainly Yule, but all who wish to share their own celebrations and cultures are invited, no, encouraged to do so! Please do not hesitate to ask myself or your department heads if you need help with logistics, planning, or requisitions for any such accommodations for your contributions, and I hope to see everyone merry very soon!"
In September 1971 a group of recruits undergo training before being sent to Vietnam. The training consists of a perfect simulation of what the boys will face in war, and takes place first at Fort Polk and then in Tigerland, a Louisiana swamp very similar to the Vietnamese environment. Among all the recruits, the Rebel Roland Bozz stands out, allergic to the rules, who does not hide his anti-patriotic attitude at all.
Shot on a very low budget and with a handheld camera and in 16mm format. The actors did not have at their disposal make-up artists, hairdressers or any of the luxuries that actors are normally accustomed to. Filming lasted 38 days, from February to March 2000 in Florida.
So if the KingOhger Movie comes out on July 28, between episodes 21 and 22, and this week's episode (17) brings back the Tyrant King Racles Arc, we essentially have 5 episodes of the Ohsama Sentai VS Racles. Which makes sense because so far a lot of the arcs have been 5-6 episodes.
Episodes 1-5 : Intro to each kingdom and their Kings
Episodes 6-10 : New Alliance Arc
Episodes 11-15 : Jeramie Intro Arc
Episode 16 is kinda an in-between episode considering it's part of the God's Wrath Arc that started in Episode 7 and Jeramie didn't involve himself in the Rita story as he was busy with the meeting between Racles and Desnarak. He only joined the fight because Kamejim was working behind the scenes against Gokkan for reasons he's not sure about. (Though I'm curious if he has intel on Karras and Shiron and if his hibernation ended before or after Karras's supposed death.)
Though 16 can be considered part of the King-Oh v. Racles Arc despite the directors changing 16-17 instead of 15-16 simply because of the negotiations actually starting and the first attack on N'kosopa.
Then that would make the King-Oh v Racles Arc be 16-20, 21 being a filler, and 22 being Gira actually sitting on the Shugoddom throne. But only if the movie preview showing his coronation is actually true of him being crowned King and not some dream sequence.
Velaris except it's street food and bazaars that become even livelier during festival seasons. Candles and lamps lining the streets, rangolis everywhere, times of prayer, dancing and parties held en masse across the city.
