One of the nice traditions I’ve enjoyed in the last decade or so (minus Covid years of course) has been to take photos at the local Nerd Parade, put on by the Sci-Fi Bookstore in Malmö, Sweden, to celebrate the inner nerd that resides in all of us. This usually manifests in cosplay from various sci fi/fantasy properties, many of which I do not have a clue about. Many of them are from various anime and manga universes, which I have yet to explore. That’s perfectly okay with me, I just enjoy seeing how multiple generations get to enjoy shared interests and not be mocked or ridiculed for an interest in a certain character, genre or story.
