Went to the Ohio Renaissance Faire on Time Traveler’s Weekend as Crowley and Aziraphale. Got knighted by the Queen, met many Doctor Who’s, and overall had an amazing time.
it was pirate weekend at the ren faire last weekend, so here’s me and my brother as Nami and cabin-boy Shanks :) (faces redacted for privacy lol)
also shoutout to the other one piece cosplayers we saw, including:
- somebody in a full Franky bodysuit in like 90 degree (F) heat
- vice-admiral Garp, (at pirate weekend) complete with dog hat
- some guy who might have been Mihawk but also might have just been wearing a black hat with a feather and a cross necklace??
and last but certainly not least:
- a tiny little Luffy who barely came up to my hip when we took a picture together, did the iconic Shanks + Luffy pose with my brother, and when I saw him later in the day I heard his dad say “look, there’s Nami!” and he waved at me… it was so cute I literally almost cried 😭
To regale you all with my lovely experience at the Renaissance Festival—
I sat in a strange large human transportation device for a total of two hours, because my delicate stems would not fare well walking all the way there. The sun came up as I was carried along, and the light was very pretty.
My companions helped me take some photos of myself when we entered! It was a magical place. So many of my kind there, I felt at home.
I crafted some lovely trinkets the night before (top) and got to trade with some very kind fellow fae! Look at the pretty baubles I’ve amassed in exchange! (Bottom)
I got to speak to a band of skilled musicians called Saxon Moon! The lady Violet is a fire dancer. It was a compelling performance.
And, perhaps most excitingly, a strange little creature alighted upon my staff suddenly and decided to stick around. I’ve named them Arinne! Say hello! Does this mean I have a familiar now?
They should invent reverse Ren faires where everyone pretends to be Renaissance nobility badly role-playing modern humans. Out of date slang, interpretations of modern fashion that look straight out of a sixties sci-fi movie speculating what the twenty first century MIGHT be like, anyone who's "out of character" has to actually act like they're from five hundred years ago, the works.
Hello, fellow hellsite weirdos. Assistance is needed.
I travel for work 8 months out of the year selling swords at rennaisance faires around the US, and for those 8 months I live out of my travel trailer. That has now been smashed into a thousand pieces like a piñata at God's birthday party, some black ice the bat, my worldly possessions the candy.
I was heading home for Christmas and hit some black ice and the trailer ended up flipping into the median. I didn't hit anyone, my truck my cats and I were fine, and I was able to recover a decent amount of my stuff, but I'm homeless(er).
I'm aiming to have my trailer replaced by the end of the Arizona Rennaisance Faire, so in about 2 months. I'm still talking to insurance and I'll be saving myself and selling my crochet work but if anyone could spare even a couple bucks to make this as smooth and quick as possible or even just reblog this it would help immensely.
i went to the ren faire today with a big group of friends and i was with one other person waiting for the rest of the group when the other person shouts
“STELLAR!!!!!!! JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
and points somewhere past me
so i turn around and look where they pointed and i SEE JESUS, AN ENTIRE JESUS, IN A TREE
JUST FUCKING CHILLING THERE
AND SO THE REST OF MY FRIEND GROUP SLOWLY GATHERS BACK. EVERY TIME WE’RE LIKE “[NAME]!!!!! JESUS!!!” AND POINT TO THE TREE. EVERY SINGLE FRIEND HAD THE SAME REACTION OF “what- HOLY SHIT TREE JESUS”
NOWHERE ELSE WILL YOU TURN AROUND AND RANDOMLY SEE TREESUS
