Remember in the early days of the internet how it screamed every time we logged on? We should have paid attention to that.

I have a friend who is going to be in town the weekend of our next LARP and I joked her and her husband could come out and play for the weekend if they wanted. She messages me back to say her jock husband is super down (which surprised her) and was making her watch every video on the website 😂😂😂

The boy is home and high af. Prognosis good, but we’re not out of the woods yet! Just monitoring to make sure things are back to normal for him!

My partner just alerted me that this guy also wrote one of my favorite books, The Uses of Enchantment, about the importance of fairytales for child development. That was a load bearing part of my personality, this is devastating 😭 (The episode are very good though).

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

My poor therapist had to listen to me process LARP feelings this week (there were many tbh) and God bless her, at one point she did say, “are you talking about LARP to avoid something else?” Good catch, appreciate it, but no. I actually just have this many feelings about my pretend game.

A stressful time for anyone who has seen Disney’s Hercules

Good vibes for the orc cat. He’s staying overnight at the vet so they can monitor him after trying to remove the impaction in his colon. Hoping he doesn’t need surgery, but it is looking like he’s going to need extra care and a special diet for the rest of his life.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a power fantasy that goes "What if you could play 5E with a group where everyone knew the rules so perfectly that encounters were fast, the DM worked to integrate backstories for everyone into the plot and your whole incredible gamerthesbian polycule let you be the Main Character"

We could have had a fucking taco truck on every corner

LARP is cool because sometimes our photo team makes me look like I walked straight out of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The boy got an enema but I am guessing we’ll be back again tomorrow so they can manually empty his butt. Pet ownership is oftentimes being very fixated on your pet’s poops.

It's always good to see an elected official who truly represents the people.

I need corporate America to give me Joanns back and close Hobby Lobby instead.

Back at the vet because my goblin son is constipated again

One of the things I love most about my LARP community is people’s willingness to hype one another up, even people they barely know. People are commenting on photos from the weekend complimenting people’s kits, their roleplay choices, the photog’s skill, etc. It’s so refreshing.

LARP photos already dropping and I really love how the new hair and headpiece came together! Seeing the places to do kit upgrades soon but overall? Very pleased.

Please to report it was a really good game for me and was exactly what I needed — some time to play pretend with my friends.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Made a nifty headpiece out of EVA foam! First time working with the medium, really happy with how it came out.

First LARP of the year and it’s hot elf time.
