Shoutout to the LARP & Cosplay side of Tumblr:

I’m getting back into things and want to get a few armor pieces that I can build several outfits from, but I’m a little lost on sources for good quality armor/clothing.

Where does everyone get their thick leather belts and waist cincher (??) pieces from? The leather pieces that wrap around your middle?

And what is the name usually used for the below piece of cosplay that sits on one’s hips? I’ve seen them in a few inspo pics and think they’d be especially useful but I’m not sure on the terminology??

Also, if anyone has any hacks/lists/YouTube they would suggest for someone (re)starting out, I’d gift you my eternal gratitude and an elixir of your choice.

Some progress as I worked on my outfit for Winterheart (our in world holiday event). The leather shoulder piece (based off a wheel of time design) has been so much damn little detail work but its finally about 60-70% done ;-;

I went larping this weekend with @wyrdnis (Midsummer Disco hosted by the good folks from poltergeist larp), and I'm still finding my way back to the real world, and sorting through everything that happened with me there.

I played Domovyk, a snake badger fey with badger primary model that was a) in a very happy, very intense, and very functional romantic and sexual partnership for centuries, and b) a firmly established and integral part of a very close-knit, hierarchical group.

Or in other words, we were the fey mafia, and me and my partner were the consumate professional executioner/cleaner duo that got shit done. Real badasses, if I do say so myself ;)

As some of you might know, I am not only a slowly unburning snake primary, but also a late to the party asexual (meaning I only found the label in my mid-twenties). As you can imagine, I have lots of baggage sourrounding intense, intimate relationships, and especially physical intimacy.

Experiencing exactly the kind of relationship I want in my life for two glorious days in a safe environment with a complete stranger blew my mind. I know how it feels now, how it works, and most crucially that I, lil' old me, can do this. Can have this. Want this. I have no words for how grateful I am to my play partner, to @wyrdnis, to the orga team of poltergeist larp, and to all the awesome and kind people who were there and created the safe space with us.

The other astonishing experience I was not expecting was playing, and being played up*, as a lynchpin and high-status member of our Squad. Two other Squad players told me later that they basically equated what I was doing with what 'The Squad' was doing, and our leader said their character just knew they could depend on Domo to care as much for the Squad as they did. While I was playing, I realised none of it, I was just doing my job (hi there, badger sec^^).

But now that I think about it, I know where this feedback comes from. There were characters in the Squad that Domo had personal beef with, or found ungrateful and illoyal (worst insults they can think of). And yet, when they had beef with other kin, or got hurt (unfairly) by one of our own, Domo didn't even think twice about jumping into the frey with all they got. And, most astonishing for my own snake primary self, prioritised things that were important to them over what was important to Domo.

As my double snake self, it was deeply weird to see these instincts develop more and more. I had a bit of trouble in some situations, but fortunately my play partner recognized what I was trying to do, and gave me exactly the right impulses when I needed them. And even now, as I am myself again mostly, I feel a special bond to everyone who played Squad members, no matter if I have played with them or not, or if I personally like them or not. It's very, very weird, and a little bit special.

And yet, there is no denying that under all those badger experiences, Domo was snake through and through, and there is one moment at the very end of the larp that tells you exactly why:

The larp was situated in the 80s, and the elevator pitch was 'fey kind comes together for one last party before the world ends in a nuclear holocaust brought on by the Cold War'. Pretty heavy stuff, but it allowed us to go wild, and ramp up our play intensity as much as we wanted.

In the final moments before the explosion, our Squad performed a ritual to save us, and only us. And quite a few Squad members chose to break out of it at the last minute. There was no question for Domo that these characters will die, and I was 100% Domo in this moment. And then I had a split second of player disconnect: 'do I have to play affected that these people/characters chose to die?' and both Domo and myself answered 'No' immediately, because our partner, our person, was with us.

That moment settled some deep emotional thing in both Domo and myself, and it is also something that sparked an important discussion with @wyrdnis afterwards, that untied a few philosophical and political knots I had gotten myself into.

All in all, my second ever larp was a raging success, and a huge step not only in my own unburning, but also in my understanding of a sorting that has always been the biggest emotional mystery in the sortinghatchats spectrum: badger (secondary or primary).

*Playing someone up in a larp means when someone is supposed to have an effect on others, the others act like the effect is happening. For example when a character catches you alone and tries to frighten you, you act like you feel the menace coming from them. In theatre there's a saying: 'The king is played by others', which means basically the same thing, that the audience will only see you as the king if your cast members react to you as if you were.
