Ah, imagination, my good old friend. Where have you been for all those long years? Hiding in the deep caves filled with horrors, traps, treasures and heroes who somehow, no matter what happens, never lose their lucky hats? Or perhaps you were in kingdom faraway, weaving wonderful stories which one day would be passed down over generations in form of myths and legends? Stories of untold bravery, forbidden love or borderline stupidity which somehow led to a glorious success? I guess it was highest time to reunite, you're mine after all.

So yes... I've decided to start expressing my fascinating opinions (I think it was the sound of my sarcasm meter in nearby room exploding, but I'll pretend I didn't hear that) and stuff concerning roleplaying.

Why?

Well, mostly because that's probably one of my favorite things to do in MLP community. I have no idea what drives me to do that. I honestly have NO idea (that's an utter and complete lie) what's so special about becoming a... pony, unicorn, pegasus, *insert whatever you want here*, creature and pretending you're *something* completely different in a completely different world. I guess to some extent we all feel a need to cut ourselves from this world and forget about it for a moment. And as long as I like roleplaying, I probably would never want to forget about my current life. It might be that my roleplaying sense is dictated by the fact that I'm a rather good actor in front of people. You'd all probably surprised how ridiculously unbelievable stories I pulled in front of my friends, and a lot of them actually believed that. I'll say it straightforward: When it comes to TRIVIAL issues, such as boasting or stuff, I'm able to weave an illusion of trust-worthiness and create a fair image of myself. Just to manipulate people into believing some odd things later, because... "Why would he lie?" :3? Of course, I never use those traits in important daily matters. [Worry not, the internet is the last place I'd like to pull stuff like that. I usually do this so that my friends may have some fun irl. Laugh at me or with me, doesn't make any difference, I can laugh at myself.]

Anyway, back to the topic. I believe that roleplaying is a mutual activity. I often read roleplays in search for some entertainment, because I am convinced that roleplaying is a form of... uhm... let's call it art, of writing fanfics/stories for ourselves in cooperation with other people. We write something for them and we expect them to stand up to our standards in order to write something that'll satisfy us too. It's something akin' to a good ol' trade system. I could even make a step forward and say: Touka Koukan.

If we want to read through one's words, we must first present him with words of our own of same quality. I somehow find this a fitting representation of my views. Still, let's put our little Ed and his awesome bro Al aside.

Why am I creating this blog? Purely for myself. I need something to blow the steam off, since I'm kinda stressed lately. And sharing my thoughts etc with others, plus writing, seems to relax me. So yeah, it's just an egoistic approach this time. But who knows? Perhaps you'll find something interesting in those ramblings of a young man? I know I'll be covering things about OC creating, OC roleplaying, Cast roleplaying, various traits, RP style, etiquette... I don't know. In fact, it was something I wanted to do for a looooong time. Even though I'm a relatively new roleplayer. But I learn fast, and this for sure will help me to get my ideas straight finally.

"Because roleplaying is dem' serious business."

It still wasn't a long entry I guess, since it's not some kind of story to tell. But if you've read through all of this... well, 'huzzah'? Hopefully I won't tire anyone and won't create new entries to fast :>
