Am Wochenende waren wir als Meerjungfrauen im Tauchtank auf der #FaRK2026. Wie versprochen plaudern wir heute darüber und ich zeige ein paar Fotos!
Bis gleich!

And there was a lot of nostalgic stuff at #FaRK that was kinda cool.
There was a Herby. A Knightrider plus David Hasselhoff cosplayer. The zombie parade had a headcrab from Half Life. There were a lot of post-apocalyptic cosplays, probably thanks to the local FATE larp. A fantasy club was selling old books from one of my favourite TTRPG universes (DSA). ❤️
So, many reasons to feel nostalgic. But it was more of a "detached niceness" to recognize these things.
On #nostalgia. @futurebird did a bunch of interesting polls and threads on nostalgia a few days ago. They got stuck in my head.

This saturday, I was very lucky to visit #FaRK, which is a huge fantasy and RPG convention in #Germany. It's also not that commercialized (run by volunteers, no entry fee, lots of cosplayers for the fun of it, mostly small artists).
So a place very rife for nostalgia, one would think.
I found these poll results super interesting. I tend to think of nostalgia as something "for old people." Old people have a wider variety of things to be nostalgic about. But, many people responded that they experienced nostalgia before turning 10 years old. @[email protected] wisely observed that nostalgia isn't just about time, it can be about a place or a country. And most seem to find nostalgia less appealing as we age, in the comments the comercialization of the past was a big factor in this.
Wir schlugen gestern unser Zelt auf der #FaRK in Landsweiler-Reden auf und haben viele Projekte mitgebracht. Nachdem unsere Technik den Segen eines Priesters des Adeptus Mechanicus empfing, konnte nichts mehr schief gehen.
Wir sind auch heute da, unter anderem auch als Cosplay Doc. Wenn euch also was klemmt oder zu locker ist, schaut einfach vorbei.
OH: Big Singularity hat ein Problem damit, dass wir eigene Singularity herstellen
