      Hell yeah, these kinds of festivals are the ultimate expression of people genuinely having authentic fun while being themselves. And I love how inclusive it is, as long as you're having fun, you're welcome there and there will be people to connect with. it's absolutely awesome.

    Like, I've always been obsessed with the history. For a long time, since I was little, I'd have daydreams of adult me gathering a group of similar history fanatics so we could build a medieval village and live there. To see it actually existing feels... unreal. And the fact that you can build a summerhouse there? One day, little, your dreams will come true.
    And the leaders speech, although very simple, was ridiculously motivating. I was sitting, feeling the adrenaline rush through me, with a strange thirst for war and action. I always was competitive as hell, bur this was new. Unexperienced bloodlust. You better bet I'll be learning French just for the sake of increasing my experience there.

      I drove ten hours to a place I had never been, with a stranger, to tent with strangers, and I didn't know french lol.
      My carpool stranger is now one of my best friends, the guild I stayed with are all dear friends I only see at Bico.

    Common misconception I've noticed is the use of the bows. I know it's not important but medieval archers didn't use quivers. They usually held their arrows in either their bow hand or their shooting hand and shot from the right side of the bow so they could ready their arrows quicker. It's not important but just interesting ^^

    • @Poodleinacan
      @Poodleinacan Před 4 lety +4

      They did both.
      They could hold a bunch of arrows in a quiver then they could take a handful and fire arrows while they are holding on the arrows they just picked up.
      That sounds more logical then plainly holding on arrows until they can be fired.

    Waited for this video for soo long. I want to go to Bico as soon as possible. I'm working on my character and ideas, might have to buy a couple of weapon, learn 2-3 medieval song with the violin and yeah !
    For anyone who is scared about the french province of canada, don't worry, we all speak a bit of english, some from yes-no-toaster, to others being perfectly bilingual. We just have laws haha .... Surely the reason why Bicoline website is in French and not in English (which would be best) is because of Quebec law 101. Since Bicolline is considered a quebec company, the first language they use should be french if not, they pay tickets to the province.

    Oh, hey, I just had a thought. I've taken a few years of French and I'm more or less somewhat decent at it, but I'm just realizing, I don't nessecarily know how to say Larp-related things in French. Like, how would one even say "Larp" in French? Like... 'un joue de vivant action' or something? I assume there's a different abbreviation in French. And then I got thinking, I bet MoMo's picked up at least a few French Larp-related words at Bicolline. So, I was wondering, would you be able to do a video on Larp-related French vocabulary, like useful French words and phrases for Bicolline? Just an idea, but I think it would be super cool to see!

    I honestly wish I could attend these, be apart of the community with people who love and enjoy the things I long for.
    But sadly, even food is something I struggle with, maybe in the future I suppose but hopes aren't high, I've always read about these events, seen photo's, and this video just makes my heart swell, how beautiful the people and stories are, how unique and so creative the games and backgrounds.
    The strategy of battle is even more amazing, everyone seems to be so immersed in this, it's become a living breathing, and gorgeous place.
    I came across your CZcams video and saw "Mo Mo " ( Which is my childhood nickname as well haha ) and I must say that you're putting in perspective of how awesome things like this are, and you're letting this world of fantasy come to life and be show in the light of those who have never done it and want to, or have and are looking back on these memories.
    And don't even get me started on how fucking cool the outfits and armor on, especially the giants, and monsters. Know that old ass video with the guy morphing his face saying " I literally cannot even. " Me right now. I've seen a lot of costumes on Instagram with how fascinating they look, but to make something so simple and easily wearable, for a week. Talent. I can't even imagine how hot it must of been.
    ( I've subscribed! Can't wait to watch more c: ! )
    Anyway,
    I hope one day I'll be able to go, and maybe I'll see some of you there.
    Sorry for the long comment, I just get a bit to passionate haha.
