The Combo
larp artemis Larptemis
blend (portmanteau) of LARP (live action role-play; broadly, to pretend or perform an identity one does not genuinely hold) and ARTEMIS, the Greek goddess of the hunt and the moon. Coined by Professor Sendy as the flagship member of an extended family of "larp-" wombos, each formed by fusing larp with a second term (carpet, yap, artistry, glow up, locked in, living rent free) to denote a specific mode or flavor of larping.
