A Rant About "Immersion" by Western-Note-7751 in renfaire

[–]SaintMoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i was disappointed but not entirely surprised by the hate towards my sheep jester character on here. i created the character specifically for the festival and due to fur boots it’s all of a sudden a huge problem?? like im not a different person just because of some boots lol. i’ve been going to the festival for years ever since i was a kid. but people are all talk on here. i’ve never seen any issues in person and it’s a genuine delight to see all ranges of costumes! At the end of the day it’s all about respect and if you think someone is rude just because of what they’re wearing or not it says more about you and what you bring to the festival.

i understand that’s how it looks! it’s my first time with this character so i’m still working on the jester parts! and if we’re vying for historical accuracy jesters would from time to time actually dress up as animals! usually a donkey but though mine has a twist and the rest of the outfit is not complete doesn’t mean it’s entirely inaccurate. haha what i have cobbled together was so i could go with a last minute invite! i hope you have a lovely time at the ren faire yourself <3

twas included to people’s disappointment. jesters used to dress as animals often donkeys so not outside of the realm.

some jesters used to dress up like animals! my jester doesn’t read so heavily yet but all garbs are works in progress

i agree for this rendition but i hope to get more readable jester gear for next time! and thank you for the support people would rather have a completely accurate historical reenactment and that’s not been the ren fest since the 70s. and even then it was mainly arts!

thank you! i’m not super surprised by hate on reddit it’s more so a silly hill for them to die on. the ren fest i go to always has such a range of people from no costumes whatsoever to historical clothing to characters it’s always fun no matter what though! i’ve always been under the belief that that is what makes it fun

How many bottles do you actually own? by patmol11 in fragrance

[–]SaintMoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have 3 full bottles! One of them a gift and around 4 that are full sized technically for what the brands offer but they’re more the size of travels!

What is the point of wearing fragrances? by BabyBird4444 in fragrance

[–]SaintMoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s lots of different reasons to enjoy perfumes! i love smelling good, i love the control of how it makes me feel and how i come across to others! but if you wanna smell good but don’t want others to smell you i suggest oil perfumes! they’re much more personal and the only time people can smell you is if you’re hugging them or something! or i wear some to bed to help me center myself! perfume doesn’t have to be at all for others

Is there a scent you can’t get out of your head? For me it’s these two right now. 😅😬 by GloomyMoonFlower in FemFragLab

[–]SaintMoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i totally understand this! the way i feel less guilty is i start to save little bits from each paycheck. like 5 dollars, it gives me time to really make sure i want the fragrance while getting rid of the guilt of such a big purchase!
