Mood

Now, whenever people hear the word "roleplay", people tend to get freaky ideas, usually in the realm of creepy sex stuff, or over-obsessed fans of animes and whatnot. Granted, I had a similar thought, too, which is why I tried to avoid the new "RP-ing" trend that has caught on around here. But I've found these guys to be different: in assuming a character, and interacting with other roleplayers, they create their own sort of art, in sub-stories that are created on the fly, and are massively intriguing. I can either read about Akuma fighting robots, or Sir Meta-Knight trying to start a revolution with other Sheezy users, but in any case, they are a blast. It's something akin to radio dramas, with story, action, and whatnot made up as the writers go. It's like these guys are in one large play, as both actors, and writers. And they love it. Anywho, I don't think these guys should get flak from anyone, for whatever reason. Their ad-hoc writing is really fun to read. Besides, if furry artists can get away with their "art", then I'm sure that others are fine to do what they can, too

Now, after that ranty-rant, I've decided to join in on the RP-ing, too. It started as something from boredom, but it's been pretty awesome so far:

Yep, I'm running around as Johnny Bravo. What better way to get into the feeling as someone else than being someone with no sense of shame? Besides, it reminded me of another fun part of roleplay: it allows you to be absolutely ridiculous. Like as Johnny, I can spew cheesy pick-up lines if I feel like it. and it's fun. Also, I get to act like a complete nimrod, which is fun to do from time to time.

Anyway, that's all from me. Farewell, for now
