One of the more interesting people I’ve met in my life, a now deceased professor from my alma matter, LARPed (for a very long time) as the reincarnation of William Blake (had an entire designated church and everything) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aethelred_Eldridge https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aethelred_Eldridge Perhaps LARPed isn’t even the best word. There is a lot of debate on whether or not he decided to keep up a bit his entire life or genuinely believed he was Blake’s reincarnation. He was incredibly smart, not outwardly schizophrenic (you could say a schizotypal personality, but I think those labels are mostly bullshit - I digress), and didn’t really have any other reasons people might just think “he’s fucking nuts” I wonder how many other kooky Blake admirers there are in our world…
