Dallas is back, and after talking about her allyship and learning experiences on the topic. Then we gush about the Vampire LARP we spoke of last time, discussing my fourth and her second session.
At the end we speak about a topic that needs to be talked about more. After very emotionally intense roleplay sessions, especially when it’s about LARPs, your character’s emotions could bleed over to to you and cause psychologicaleffects that you need to process, and for that to happen, you need the right support network and tools on how to deal with it. Enjoy!
Today’s sonnet is dedicated to Frida’s character Bella, who is no longer with us. We will miss you Bella, Emmy and me both. Thankfully, Frida is till around <3
Bella,
If you would count the stars that light the sky
A crucial thing for those bereft of sun
Cry all you want, but never dare deny
The counted stars now be reduced by one
You gave me hope when hope was but a dream
Undid my chains and showed another path
Despite the dark, I suddenly could gleam
A future brighter than my sire’s wrath
You found me just as I was ’bout to fall
I was so weak until you made me strong
But just as I had learned to stand up tall
I heard a crash and suddenly you’re gone
No longer do I fear the deepest pain
I swear to you, you won’t have died in vain
I am sorry for your loss. I understand it hurts.
I know first hand blead is a strong thing. I larp but I avoid the heavier games because I get affected so easily although I do enjoy the tense situations ingame. I really enjoyed your discussion about larp.
Thank you <3
Yeah it can be very heavy and it does hurt a lot, but I don't regret a single thing. I cried again today when I realized I will never see Frida putting on Bella's make-up again.. but I'm getting there.. It's worth itbecause I love the story and I love the characters, and the heightened emotions just makes life so much more rich, you know? And the care we show each other after this, it moves my heart so much...
I understand avoiding too much of it though, it does really mess with your week if you can't stop crying.
Thank you for commenting and thank you for listening! <3
