I’ve been to many ren fests, and I can say that no one cares what you’re dressed as, as long as it looks dope. I once saw a man in a weird mechanical raven-man outfit, giving small colored rocks to children. I’ve also seen Jesus there many times.
My closest ren faire has a “time traveler weekend” when you’re encouraged to wear anachronistic garments.
Many, many Doctors Who, and your assorted Starfleet away team. I think I even saw a beltalowda last time.
Last time I went, I went as a steampunk time traveler, and the group I went with were my “crew” that I had picked up across time, which is why none of our costumes matched and some didn’t have any. My group thought it was hilarious.
One Ren Faire I attended had a bunch of people dressed up as the Attack On Titan cadets.
Didn’t even turn any heads. We’re here to be weird. 😎
Ren faires are just an anacronism stew. Maybe some take historical accuracy seriously, but I’ve been to quite a few and have yet to see one that does. My local one has everything from ancient greece to steampunk Victorians. There’s even a Wok themed after Imperial China where these guys would fit right in. You see more fantasy then historical costumes usually anyway.
It’s just a place for nerds and weirdos to vibe, buy trinkets, drink, eat fair food, and wear cool costumes.
My favorite ren fair photo is one with a star trek away team investigating the primitive civilisation.
Oh that’s great
