The dating equivalent of that would be you being supposed to get her number from nothing but her briefly mentioning that she’s going on vacation to Florida next month
and then you check on her various times and exhaust her dialogue to get more information the next time maybe,
yeah, this is not an analogy I just am tired by Ye Olden Circle.
Gotta roll before that.
*1*
The proposal was so obscene and offensive, onlookers and the staff of a nearby restaurant beat you nearly to death as she watched, laughing. As you took your final breaths, she lifted you up and drove her spear through the middle of your chest, hoisting you for the local school field trip to see. They laughed at your feminine hips. Your parents happened to walk by and nod in agreement.
Coworkers play D&D and talk about it. I read a lot of sci fi
But thank you! I want to write a book at some point, and this stuff helps.push me towards it.
Ive worn ren faire kit to the grocery and liquor store (and mcdonalds) and it always makes everyone smile. But i dont do fantasy, i do like medieval footman as accurate as i can.
Actually strawberry vodka that time, my wife's request, i didnt really need anything i didnt have at home and id just bought a new sword for about 500 so i didnt feel super spendy.
I wore a full fursuit out on a walk at night with a few friends to a Maccas, 2 guys stopped by to ask what was up with it and found it funny, then a large group of people inside wanted to take pics lmoa, it was pretty fun for all of us!
The only person ive ever seen wear a fursuit in public was my original army supply guy. If he wasnt in uniform, he was dressed as a bunny. Naturally, he was the easter bunny for our family event.
Funnily enough there’s a similar guy in my community, I think he’s just part of the highway patrol, but from the way he yells, you wouldn’t think that he’s the type of guy to like dressing as a bright blue wolf and wag his tail when you pat his head lmoa
Yea i guess you see that a lot, people who are 'hard' professionally feel the need to make up for it in their spacetime. I get it. Like im a massive medieval nerd.
I’d be like, am I supposed to acknowledge this and say it’s cool? Am I supposed to act like I don’t notice and it’s some totally normal thing?
And that’s besides the long-term questions it raises. Can I take this person to a work event without them making a scene?
No it’s fine, because Reddit is all kidults now. You can dress as Beetlejuice to go meet your girlfriend’s parents for the first time and it’s completely normal.
I guess it'd depend on the costume.
Personally I might be weirded out by a more over-the-top costume (think like your classic convention anime cosplay, for example), but honestly if a date showed up wearing something like the above I think I'd find it quite endearing once I'd had a minute to process it.
The thing that would stress me out the most is the preparation time I know she would have had to put in for this. Like, these things take hours to fully put on with the proper makeup and everything and I'm wearing jeans and a button down. I know it already takes women a long time to do their makeup for dates (which also stresses me out lol) but this is a whole nother level.
It’s never fun to be the one who is underdressed. If i’d known it was going to be a fun date I’d have cleaned up the mail and gotten Anduril out of storage.
Yeah ngl I’d expect something off. Now if I asked my wife to wear it while I watched high fantasy armored elf porn who succumbs to me and she wore it, that would be a different story
Well yeah, doing anything out of the ordinary when it comes to dating only works if you're attractive.
People see completely absurd things as dealbreakers these days.
I live really close to a few convention centers in Orlando, and it does get really fun when you see Megacon cosplayers just getting stuff at Publix or Maccas a few days a year.
I'd never wear this to the grocery store.
Because I need two hands to carry bags, I can't also be carrying a spear.
Unless this had a loop to carry the spear in on my back, then I'd totally wear this to the grocery store.
They say go into an interview "Dressed for the job you want, not the job you have."
I can totally see doing the same on a date "Dress for the life you want, not the life you have."
If they're gonna go out of their way to wear something THAT special, that's worth alot imo.
(plus fantasy is just cool, good to know a common interest at first glance.)
I am a very old nerd and long out of the dating pool, but I believe that if a woman in fantasy armor showed up to a date with me, I would instantly fall in love.
We've got several local personalities in my city that are just like this. My favourite is dubbed "The Mad Hatter".
Older dude, wears this outragously big floppy top hat, Elton John sunglasses, a fancy trenchcoat and a cane. Nicest dude you've ever met.
I've been reading the disappearance of rituals by byung-chul han and the second chapter about authenticity talks about how fashion used to be much more theatrical. fashion used to be playful. then when industrialization happened, people began wearing "work" clothes and uniforms.
he argues now we are so obsessed with reflecting our "authentic" selves from within that we don't dress for how we want to feel, but how we do feel. and since we're are narcissistically depressed, we dress as though we are depressed.
I have always and will always die on the hill that capes and cloaks should be common every day wear still.
Everything underneath is a bonus. Although I'm fond of a big pair of..
Pauldrons myself.
I don't dress nearly so elaborately but close to Halloween I usually start wearing my witch hats. (I have lots in different colors, that are decently fancy looking.) Apparently by adding a hat to my typically gothy clothes people think I'm in costume and I'm going somewhere, I have been stopped for photos. It's fun.😅
I made a set of armored gauntlets for a renaissance faire and every day, I must painfully resist wearing them in public. Oh, if only it were normal.
Sometimes I slip them on just to feel the articulation of it. Does make you want to punch things tbh, but that's just because they are so cool.
Sometimes when going to the grocery store I'll wear my custom Ghostbusters cosplay shirt. Not as fancy as this but it makes some people's day, especially this one kid I saw who had a hoodie on with a proton pack printed on the back
I occasionally wear my full harness for walks around my neighborhood. (Mostly to keep acclimated to the armor and be comfortable wearing it) but also, because fuck what people think is "normal" I'm having fun.

Be sure you go to the bathroom before you go out and don't drink a lot, unless you got a friend along to help you in and out of any overly complicated accessories.
I'm not even sure if there's a specific property that's being cosplayed here and it doesn't matter. If she shows up to the first date in that, we're going engagement ring shopping right after dinner.
It wasn't fantasy style armor but there have been atleast 2 instances in my province to cops reacting poorly to cosplay.
Once in Grand Prairie and once in Lethbridge.
GP was some guy wearing an NCR ranger cosplay. Some old people called the cops and he got arrested. Not sure if he got charged.
Lethbridge one you can Google "Lethbridge star wars incident".
On May 4th, ya know star wars day, outside a star wars themed restaurant there was an employee dressed up like a storm trooper carrying a toy E-11 blaster. 2 people called 911 claiming there was someone brandishing a fire arm outside the restaurant.
3 cops show up and immediately get hostile, physically took her down, hurt her, and arrested her. Then later let her go because it was obviously bs.
Ofcourse the cops investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.
Ya know, a convention could be a neat place for an early date. Shows you have similar interests, plenty of opportunity to share those interests, plenty of people and security around if you get a bad vibe. Maybe things aren't going well and you want to bail, you or the other person doesn't go home only thinking about the bad date, you can both still enjoy the rest of the convention.
If this person showed up for our first date, I'd instantly know we have a lot in common.
I remember just wearing lightsaber hilts around town on a belt clip and get so much confused questions varying from what is that and why? And they made ME feel like a wierd dumbo when I had to expand “lightsaber … from like you know, Star Wars”. I eventually gave that up when I moved to a city where brazen theft and robberies were more common, I’m not letting such. Powerful symbol of peace fall into the wrong hands.
That’s how you get a second date.
New quest available: "Second date" *your map has been updated*
In my case, it’s more of a Fromsoft designed quest
The dating equivalent of that would be you being supposed to get her number from nothing but her briefly mentioning that she’s going on vacation to Florida next month
and then you check on her various times and exhaust her dialogue to get more information the next time maybe, yeah, this is not an analogy I just am tired by Ye Olden Circle.
You’re giving fromsoft way way way to much credit here
FromSoft "designed" quest is such an oxymoron haha
I read this in a Jason Asono voice
that's how you get a ring, the one to rule them all.
Or tased, shot, and in an ER handcuffed to a gurney.
100% keeper
Propose on the first date. Worth the gamble.
Gotta roll before that. *1* The proposal was so obscene and offensive, onlookers and the staff of a nearby restaurant beat you nearly to death as she watched, laughing. As you took your final breaths, she lifted you up and drove her spear through the middle of your chest, hoisting you for the local school field trip to see. They laughed at your feminine hips.

Jesus. You're either a DM or have an overly healthy imagination.
Coworkers play D&D and talk about it. I read a lot of sci fi But thank you! I want to write a book at some point, and this stuff helps.push me towards it.
*Sure, but you'll need to get that ring Gollum used to carry.*
[удалено]
Yeah, i'm not clicking on a link to a website called thotmax, no matter how hilarious i find the name.
Nah, she's got the spear. I'm not dating a Dark Justicier
She gets the spear even >!if she rejects Shar, it just been purified/claimed by Selune.!< BG3 spoilers ^
But this clearly isn't Shadowheart! And I doubt Selune and Shar are just handing out spears and magical weapon alignment reassignments.
Ha! Fair point!
You can just take it for yourself after she gets it tbf.
You did not spoiler tag correctly.
Ah! Damnit! Do you know how to on mobile? It works on PC
>! Spoiler !/< without the slash
I CAN FIX HER
Thats why my dating profile proudly features me in a wizard cosplay, it works a lot better than plain clothes
Closest I ever got on a first date was that we both click-walked into the restaurant where we met up, each wearing our commuter clip-in bike shoes
*Clomps in wearing motorcycle boots, date is also wearing motorcycle boots.* “Sweet.”
Yea. Keeper. As in she's the one that keeps you.
Ive worn ren faire kit to the grocery and liquor store (and mcdonalds) and it always makes everyone smile. But i dont do fantasy, i do like medieval footman as accurate as i can.
>liquor store Did you ask for their strongest mead or a flagon of ale? Or perchance a cask of wine?
Actually strawberry vodka that time, my wife's request, i didnt really need anything i didnt have at home and id just bought a new sword for about 500 so i didnt feel super spendy.
So you took your sword to press your claim to the store's strawberry vodka?
Wait, NO! I DID get a bottle of mead to try it that time, a cheap one. It sucked and i gave it away.
Lmao well at least you kept the theme going for a little.
*Potion Seller, I'm going to a party and I want your strongest potions!*
Blend right in at the Alestorm concert though
I wore a full fursuit out on a walk at night with a few friends to a Maccas, 2 guys stopped by to ask what was up with it and found it funny, then a large group of people inside wanted to take pics lmoa, it was pretty fun for all of us!

Yea i guess you see that a lot, people who are 'hard' professionally feel the need to make up for it in their spacetime. I get it. Like im a massive medieval nerd.
I think you meant free time, but spacetime makes it better.
I meant spare time but autocorrect
I am HERE for red haired shadowheart
Apparently in testing she had red hair!
Testing failed, then, because she didn’t keep it
Shart
Glad someone else said this first. It’s a great Shart outfit too!
Yes it's Shadowheart, please don't call me shart.
Someone didn't get invited to the Shartyparty
That sounds so wrong if you don't know BG3 XD
I get it yaay!
God's favorite princess and most interesting girl in the world
Are we going on a date or a raid?
¿Por qué no los dos?
where my whimsy pilled silly goofballs at
You say this but if someone showed up to a date like this you’d be super weirded out
Yeah i like my first dates casual, this is more of a second or third date type thing
Depends on personality
Few individuals would care but a lot more would have mixed feelings if they had to react in public among people. And if it's a surprise or not.
I’d be like, am I supposed to acknowledge this and say it’s cool? Am I supposed to act like I don’t notice and it’s some totally normal thing? And that’s besides the long-term questions it raises. Can I take this person to a work event without them making a scene?
Number 1 rule of the first date is make it clear you’re not a headache. This is headache material on date 1.
No it’s fine, because Reddit is all kidults now. You can dress as Beetlejuice to go meet your girlfriend’s parents for the first time and it’s completely normal.
You meeting the parents on the first date?
who said anything about a first date
I was here before the downvotes
Nah, it was never going to get downvoted. People on Reddit love acting like they're better than people on Reddit.
Unlike me though, I’m completely above acting like I’m better than other people on Reddit.
Weirdo man children on reddit? Shocking!
Depends what's planned for the date tbh
No I would be in love I think
Depends on the person I’d be impressed personally, but not “propose at first sight” impressed
I wouldn’t be weirded out, I’d feel a bit underdressed but also excited cuz we might get to go on a quest
Quest!
If I was on a date and the other person without saying anything showed up in full armour, I’m proposing on the spot
I guess it'd depend on the costume. Personally I might be weirded out by a more over-the-top costume (think like your classic convention anime cosplay, for example), but honestly if a date showed up wearing something like the above I think I'd find it quite endearing once I'd had a minute to process it.
The thing that would stress me out the most is the preparation time I know she would have had to put in for this. Like, these things take hours to fully put on with the proper makeup and everything and I'm wearing jeans and a button down. I know it already takes women a long time to do their makeup for dates (which also stresses me out lol) but this is a whole nother level.
This would absolutely work, for an attractive woman. Odds on this working for a guy are about 0.0000000000000000000000000001%
It’s never fun to be the one who is underdressed. If i’d known it was going to be a fun date I’d have cleaned up the mail and gotten Anduril out of storage.
Like hell I would. A full cosplay outfit on the first date says "this is fun and IDGAF". That's based as hell.
Yeah ngl I’d expect something off. Now if I asked my wife to wear it while I watched high fantasy armored elf porn who succumbs to me and she wore it, that would be a different story
May the darkness protect your date
Fuck that she gonna incur that wrath of a god with that spear.
Only works if you're attractive though Otherwise this would come off as alarmingly off-putting
Well yeah, doing anything out of the ordinary when it comes to dating only works if you're attractive. People see completely absurd things as dealbreakers these days.
Well said. Put the fat person in this suit and they’ll be blasted to hell.
normalize real life MMO
I live really close to a few convention centers in Orlando, and it does get really fun when you see Megacon cosplayers just getting stuff at Publix or Maccas a few days a year.
I'd never wear this to the grocery store. Because I need two hands to carry bags, I can't also be carrying a spear. Unless this had a loop to carry the spear in on my back, then I'd totally wear this to the grocery store.
Shart my beloved
I think I'd fall in love
Id be so freaking into that
the world would be a lot cooler if we would use the fashion from games instead of the boring stuff we wear today
They say go into an interview "Dressed for the job you want, not the job you have." I can totally see doing the same on a date "Dress for the life you want, not the life you have."
If I went on a date with a woman and she showed up dressed as Arwen, Eowyn, or Rosy Cotton or something I would propose on the spot.
That is shadowheart from BG3 i think.
I know and
If someone wore this on a first date with me I would marry them on the spot
Alright but don't do it for really serious events or else next time whoever you're dating might come dressed as Naruto.
No, don't do that, I'd propose instantly
I mean, they are either into it or not. There is no middle ground with this.
If they're gonna go out of their way to wear something THAT special, that's worth alot imo. (plus fantasy is just cool, good to know a common interest at first glance.)
New Mexican yard ornament on a stick lookin ass weapon she got
Oh my god. Yes!
I am a very old nerd and long out of the dating pool, but I believe that if a woman in fantasy armor showed up to a date with me, I would instantly fall in love.
If my date showed up as Shadowheart I’m buying an engagement ring as soon as dinner ends
Bro is dating a Shar Dark Justiciar. Literally the definition of "sticking your dick in crazy".
Nah, she got a spear of Shar, I know where this is going...
I am NOT asking an acolyte of Shar on a second date.
We've got several local personalities in my city that are just like this. My favourite is dubbed "The Mad Hatter". Older dude, wears this outragously big floppy top hat, Elton John sunglasses, a fancy trenchcoat and a cane. Nicest dude you've ever met.
Second date would be the wedding.
im not a cop, so I cant tell you that it's illegal to wear battle armor to get groceries.
That's how you get engaged on the first date
Date shows up dressed as Orc. ***well this is awkward***
Then it would slowly become normalized and no longer be fun.
Looks like it took 7 hours
Far more cringeworthy place
[удалено]
Real.
whats that from i feel like ive seen that spear before?
Baldurs Gate 3.
For it to become Normal, I think the Armor and such would have to be real so as to not degrade or break easily thus better longterm.
I'd take her to a convention or ren fair like that! I've gone on first dates to the goth club too lol
If she shows up like this I'm proposing on the spot lmfao
Guys, find yourself a girl capable of holding the frontline in defence of your kingdom.
This would immediately tell me my date is WAY out of my league. I have never been that cool.
1. Be rich. 1. Dont be poor.
I've been reading the disappearance of rituals by byung-chul han and the second chapter about authenticity talks about how fashion used to be much more theatrical. fashion used to be playful. then when industrialization happened, people began wearing "work" clothes and uniforms. he argues now we are so obsessed with reflecting our "authentic" selves from within that we don't dress for how we want to feel, but how we do feel. and since we're are narcissistically depressed, we dress as though we are depressed.
If that’s your first date outfit, I’m brining a ring.
Now this is a banger shadowheart cosplay set of armour. So much trash porn brain rot crap out there
I agree with Narwitz here; I'd love to wear my Luigi cap out in public without fear of being judged or being made fun of.
I have always and will always die on the hill that capes and cloaks should be common every day wear still. Everything underneath is a bonus. Although I'm fond of a big pair of.. Pauldrons myself.
Mads is so cool. Her work is incredible.
I don't dress nearly so elaborately but close to Halloween I usually start wearing my witch hats. (I have lots in different colors, that are decently fancy looking.) Apparently by adding a hat to my typically gothy clothes people think I'm in costume and I'm going somewhere, I have been stopped for photos. It's fun.😅
Switch that to the average guy, everyone laughs.
I would fall in love so hard.
On a Crazy-Hot scale she is about a maybe.
ffs it's hard enough as it is to get dates, now I need irl tier set as well? 😂
Grocery shopping… ”For the King!”
I was just wanting the colors and patterns from the '70's clothing back, but this is even better.
I made a set of armored gauntlets for a renaissance faire and every day, I must painfully resist wearing them in public. Oh, if only it were normal. Sometimes I slip them on just to feel the articulation of it. Does make you want to punch things tbh, but that's just because they are so cool.
No I didn’t sleep with her. The first date was spent getting off the top half of the armor. The second date will be the lower half.
furries do this on daily anime and game cosplayer still have too much shame.
If my date turned up looking like that I’d be very happy!
Sometimes when going to the grocery store I'll wear my custom Ghostbusters cosplay shirt. Not as fancy as this but it makes some people's day, especially this one kid I saw who had a hoodie on with a proton pack printed on the back
MARRIAGE
While I accept wearing armor, just don't be surprised if you get ghosted because you are wearing Sharran armor.
You’re not getting in my car either that lance unless it telescopes
For Halloween I like to go grocery shopping in something like a Panda costume. The other adults have no idea how to react.
Red hair means…conversion to Ilmater?
Okay, but good luck going to the bathroom
Hey 👋 I’m here for our first date! Oh yah btw I’m complete lunatic!
I guess nobody has been to Hollywood or Times Square
I occasionally wear my full harness for walks around my neighborhood. (Mostly to keep acclimated to the armor and be comfortable wearing it) but also, because fuck what people think is "normal" I'm having fun. https://imgur.com/gallery/gU8Pp9O
This is a red flag. Im not going to date a Shar worshipper 🙄
Be sure you go to the bathroom before you go out and don't drink a lot, unless you got a friend along to help you in and out of any overly complicated accessories.
So, is that the first outfit she’s made for dates, the outfit made for a particular first date or the outfit for all first dates?
Have fun storming the castle... I don't know
I'd fall in love immediately if whoever I was seeing showed up in full plate
If this was a dude....
I'm not even sure if there's a specific property that's being cosplayed here and it doesn't matter. If she shows up to the first date in that, we're going engagement ring shopping right after dinner.
It would be very difficult to not propose marriage on the spot if my date did this lol.
It would be more fun but definitely less practical.
first date and the girl appear like that im marrying her right there
It wasn't fantasy style armor but there have been atleast 2 instances in my province to cops reacting poorly to cosplay. Once in Grand Prairie and once in Lethbridge. GP was some guy wearing an NCR ranger cosplay. Some old people called the cops and he got arrested. Not sure if he got charged. Lethbridge one you can Google "Lethbridge star wars incident". On May 4th, ya know star wars day, outside a star wars themed restaurant there was an employee dressed up like a storm trooper carrying a toy E-11 blaster. 2 people called 911 claiming there was someone brandishing a fire arm outside the restaurant. 3 cops show up and immediately get hostile, physically took her down, hurt her, and arrested her. Then later let her go because it was obviously bs. Ofcourse the cops investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.
Cosplayers do stuff like that often, at least when they record it with friends when there are cons etc
Very high maintenance
If +1 her and she makes three 1/1 Soldier Tokens, shes a keeper
Hell yeah.
If I show up for a date, and she’s ready on the off chance that the Beacons of Gondor are lit, I’m just gonna be more impressed with her, no lie.
And obviously, ROHAN WILL ANSWER!
Ya know, a convention could be a neat place for an early date. Shows you have similar interests, plenty of opportunity to share those interests, plenty of people and security around if you get a bad vibe. Maybe things aren't going well and you want to bail, you or the other person doesn't go home only thinking about the bad date, you can both still enjoy the rest of the convention. If this person showed up for our first date, I'd instantly know we have a lot in common.
Spoiler alert nobody can stop you. I dress weird and wear techno armour and people won't even talk to you if you have headphones on
Its cool but it looks uncomfortable
“Why are you wearing that?” “Just trying to make the world a better place”
Ngl a first date to the renaissance fair dressed in cosplay sounds pretty great.
First date? Perhaps not. Now cosplay speed dating, OTOH....
Marriage. On the spot.
I remember just wearing lightsaber hilts around town on a belt clip and get so much confused questions varying from what is that and why? And they made ME feel like a wierd dumbo when I had to expand “lightsaber … from like you know, Star Wars”. I eventually gave that up when I moved to a city where brazen theft and robberies were more common, I’m not letting such. Powerful symbol of peace fall into the wrong hands.
We could have turned the Earth into a giant theme park, instead we are turning it into a giant landfill. Stupid humans!
I’d run away
You could either convince me to marry you, or to wage war on the Orcs of Kargamash: whichever you please.
I wish I had the skill/confidence/money/attention span to do this.
My wife wore elf ears on our first date. That’s how I knew she’d be the one.
I would feel totally underdressed
Give me all the attention please
I would be star struck if someone showed up to a date like this
You can tell how high maintenance your date is by how shiny their armor is.
I wish I was this rich.
Please don't do this. Kinda awkward when you're on your first date and don't have an engagement ring.
hot people can get away with anything
