During our murder mystery commedia dell'arte "The Unusual Suspects" at Pennsic 2025, Players of the Patchwork Elio Fidelis and Larisa West entertained us for the first intermezzo!

You can catch the full video of the three-act performance on our YouTube.

And now for something completely different (and yet hauntingly familiar)... The Agincourt Carol (not all carols are $winterholiday; this one is about St. Crispin's) dates to the 15th century BN(*) and thus is definitely Period for the SCA... the _alternate tune_... is decidedly younger.

(*) Bede's Notation: using this instead of CE so we're clear about _whose_ Common Era we're using; there _are_ several...

What I <3 with the #SCA. I showed up at the local meeting and was welcomed with open arms.
One person and I had met before; neither of us remembers it, but the timeline makes sense, and we have a ton of common friends.
Bonded over fabric hoarding, panic sewing and dogs.
I also picked up a book about Överhogdalstapeten (not the same one that @mi already got) and some smaller books in English

Cold outside and an icy wind. But it was sunny when I went to charity shop on the same tramline as me. I got some pokemons, and an ironing board that you put on your table. It's for my youngest, who moved out this summer.
Then I decided to put my over twenty year old hand written class notes from an overview of the history of Western learned magic, into a more organised, typed version.
And THEN I finished the medieval letter (we call them scrolls) that I started yesterday. Did I take a photo before sending it with my friend Alfhild to be brought to the event where it is to be used? Of course not. I will ask Alfhild to take photo.
She was here because of my bi-weekly sewing meeting, where her husband, as you can see in the fourth photo, got help with his Iron Age trousers.

A smiling white middle aged woman is standing on a bridge over a small river. The river is edged by willow trees. The sky is bright blue, and the sun is shining. She is wearing wool coat in checks of various Browns, a knit red scarf, an a fair isle knit hat in blue and teal. Her hair is long, light brown, and wavy from being braided. We only see the upper half of her body.A small, deep blue, river. The river is edged by willow trees. The sky is bright blue, and the sun is shining.A white small and low ironing board is placed on a table with a green table clothA middle aged man with grey hair and beard, and black rimmed glasses is sitting in an mint green armchair, in front of an old Oak cupboard with a black TV om it. He is wearing knit jumper in dark grey and natural white wool. In his la lap is a piece of houndstooth check wool in two shades of blue. On the armrest, being petted by the man, is a smallish blue tabby cat.

Calligraphy and illumination project for my medieval club, the #sca
Trying a 16th century Central European hand. I am not particularly good at this, it is a service for the Society, not my chosen art form. But I think that it will be pretty.
In the center on the table is a cream coloured paper with som Pencil sketching on it, and a text started in calligraphy. To the left is an open book with calligraphy alphabets, to the right a white paper with printed text, some trials with the pen, and a pen. There is also an ink bottle

Still stoked about our recent trip to Osaka/Japan for #SCA/HPC Asia 🇯🇵

The OWS team got to present research and results in poster sessions as well as in one on one talks at the booth plus in a showcase presentation on federated HPC Workflows for Large-Scale Web Indexing, presented by Michael Granitzer from University of Passau and Martin Golasowski from IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center.
Arigato to all who came by!

There is a new SCA shire in Östersund. They happen to have a gathering tomorrow at the local museeum. I have decided to pay them a visit to ease some of my SCA abstinence. <3

To celebrate Global Commedia Day later this month on Wednesday, February 25, here are three facts about commedia dell'arte!

➤Commedia originated from the 16th Century Italian Renaissance
➤Unlike most masked theatre from around the world, commedia uses half face masks which allow the actors to emote with their mouth and jaw
➤Despite his sloppy look, Pedrolino was the most clever and tricky servant of earliest commedia

As we in The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company celebrate our 20th anniversary of being a commedia troupe, of course we must mark Commedia dell'Arte Day 2026!

Was told by a friend to make an intro, so here I am! I’m Triapze, he/him, and I’m super gay but in like an ace way lmao

I’m a self-shipper, but I like to keep that side more private I guess.

I recently got into #jrock and #JMetal I particularly like ICDD, Unlucky Morpheus, and Galneryus!

I also play a lot of games, in particular #Arknights (+#ArknightsEndfield ), #warframe and #ffxiv .

Really into #yaoi . Always have been (aside from that weird phase where I thought I was straight), lol

I also do #digitart and #writing and have published a few short stories! I mostly write queer #horror , where the main character is the villain. I’m tired of victim protagonists, personally, so that’s why I started writing!

I’m also a #medieval #reenactor (#SCA ) as well as being into #lolita / #egl / #ouji fashion. Weird combo, I know.

Did I mention I really like (fictional) men? Because I do. A lot.

That’s about it tbh. I don’t know if anyone will actually see this? But if anyone does, I’m always happy to chat! (Please I’m lonely)

An example from one of our commedia dell'arte farces to describe how old we all felt at the start of January 2026 versus how old we all feel now at the end of January 2026.... seventy-eight weeks later....

Don't be a grouch! January 29 is Curmudgeons Day 2026! Or should we say... Pantalone Day? For being a curmudgeon is so tied to this old miserly man il Magnifico stock commedia dell'arte character we even used the term in the title for the earliest commedia performance (21 years ago next week) that lead to the creation of The Confused Greenies!

When times are stressful, remember that laughter and joy not only help us move forward but also are a form of resistance against trouble. One of our mottos is making the world better one laugh, one smile, at a time.

"Trouble knocked at the door, but, hearing laughter, hurried away." --Benjamin Franklin
