Ever look up at the stars, and know something magical is watching you? Ever wish that you could see what is truly happening out there? Looking at the stars they seem to come alive and unfold before you.
Ooops sorry enough ranting for today ^_^

Wishing Fantasies
Ever Wish Fantasy was real? And imagination was real? Sitting under a tree and just imagining things the way they could be. I do, I love this stuff and wish it was true and wish I was something a little more. Well actually I know I'm something a little more but I'm really kinda crazy. . ..

Wishing Fantasies.
One thing you've got to consider, EVERYONE's a little crazy. Or at least if they aren't they're pretty dull.
Am I a little crazy? Probably. Just don't tell that to the guys with the white jackets though...

ANYTHING is possible...within limits.
Those limits are set on ourselves by ourselves.
The trick is getting around them...

Well see I think I'm a tad crazy is what I think of myself and who I am. And what really exists out there. Well. . .If I said anything I think I'd lose what friends I have, and ones I might make.
I have no desire for you guys to think I'm a freak and not talk to me. ..So I just keep quiet.

Ah sleg, I was typing out this and submitted it and it messed up or something or other x.x; If I can remember what all I put up. . . *Hmmms*
I was always told as a kid (yes I know I am still one
) That everything fantasy was fake and I should learn that it's all imagination. A lot of things support fantasy though. The bible for instance (For you christians like me) States in Job 40 and 41 descriptions of dragons and Leviathan's. So what do you think of that?
And every legend has a tad of truth to it. In Africa in the early 20th century hunters found a very large lizard that was 20 ft long and had wings. They chased this creature and shot it and killed it. Then sold the hide off to merchants in the area (I read this in a book called 'Dragons, modern mythology' I think anyways >.<;)
Well I just like to say that Anything is possible, we don't know what the universe holds and whatever or whoever created it also could have made all of these creatures and beings. So anything is really possible.
Anyways that's my occasional ramble

Fantasy, Imagination, Reality.
Is there really even a border? Who knows. Perhaps we're all something more as this universe unfolds it's secrets one by one. I Just hope someday the secrets I will understand, learn, and remember. Sitting under the stars and just watching. . . You almost feel like you belong.
Why are the stars so important with fantasy and all that kind of stuff? Who knows. Well I think that's my rant =D Welcome to my personal thread? =D

um hehe. Been sorta lazy lately.
Anyways people say to others that have a vivid imagination and are open minded "Your Crazy" Well what if these' crazy' people weren't crazy at all? Just seeing the truth and the ones that think they know what they're talking about are the ones with the closed minds?
Well I think that people should believe what they think. Just as a little kid does with an imaginary friend. And who says imaginary friends aren't real? For all we know it could be an angle or spirit or something magickal.
We know so little about life and it's mysteries we shouldn't judge anyone. But why do we? To feel secure in what we do? To feel important? I dont' know but I want it stopped. Once we open our minds and hearts, things will start to be revealed to us. That's what I think anyways, thanks for listening to my rant.

I think u made some good points Drathorin 
I think if ppl when they got older, instead of completely shutting themselves off from the things they believed when they were children (which unfortunately society does push ppl towards; 'cause ur not considered REALLY adult if u don't), and instead held onto it, we would have a world wide reduction in stress and hopelessness I believe I mean how can u really hate someone for being different if you believe in fairies, or extraterrestrials, or hell, even unicorns? At least when things get tough, it gives u something to lift ur spirits with, and expand ur mind, so when u take a walk down a forest path u can imagine that rustle u hear overhead is a dryad peeking out at u instead of some demented squirrel and since crazy usually has bad connotations i take a quote from one of my fav graphic series "the books of magic :Summonings" by Neil Gaiman-- "My family, we notice things that other ppl DON'T. And they FEEL things. We're FEY...." yup i definitely like fey better

Driving down the city at night you look around and for some reason feel sad as you see all the buildings. Stopping the car and waiting outside you see a cat walk by, it stops and looks up at you and it's eyes tinkle of intelligence. You smile and make a noise like a 'tch tch' and it meows and purrs. Sitting there looking at you with it's head tilted.
Thoughts running through my head on why a stray and wild cat is friendly to me and not running like every other is so wary.
At an uncles and he brings out the baby fowl horse, I go to pet it after everyone else has and it backs up, I see fear in it's eyes. "It's scared of me" I feel it and know it is. I back up and it's eyeing me carefully and the little kids pet it and when I move he panicks a little as I walk back to my seat. He calms down when he sees me laying down and is led back to his barn.
Well thoughts running through my mind I can't sort them all until the break of dawn has come to give me another chance to go again.

You ever think that something was happening to you that you think was out've this world? You know it's most likely not true. . . .Yet you hope it is true anyway?
Dreams, lucid dreaming, daydreams. Don't they all reflect on your soul and what your like inside? If so then it makes you wonder about things. Things that If you told someone else they'd label you insane. Which is just a legal defination of thinking within conformity. Everyone has their little wonderings about things in this world. I know I sure do, but I'm scared to talk to people about them for fear of being laughed at, or being put away by men with the white coats.
So maybe it is imagition, maybe it's not. Because if you take the number of people that think they are something else or think they see things. You only hear about a very small fraction of people who do. Why? Because all the people that are smart don't talk to everyone else because they know they'd be put away correct? But, if it happens to so many people. . .then can it be true? Can the things that people think of be true? Who really knows. *Ahem* Well really I think they know themselves. . .and it's up to the 'normal' people to finally figure it out

Hi
Hi, I'm new, but I've read all the TWOC comics.
I'd just like to say that I like fantasy is better than reality because it doesn't follow the boring old rules of reality, and has more of a point to it's existense. Fantasy can be anything that the mind can imagine, and that what makes it so great. I wish I could visit some of the places that me or someone else has made up. I'd really like to make my own game world, because that's almost as good as actually going there!
Bye!

Crazy or not
It's funny to go on a board like this and find a message like this where you feel it could just as easily be you saying it. I know exactly what you're saying, Drathorin. However, I do believe this:
We don't know all the rules to our world. We only know what scientists believe are the rules to it, and they're not always right. The only one who knows truly what all the rules of the world are is the one that made it, and he could change them anytime he wanted to. Personally, I believe there's more to fantasy than just stories through and through, but you never know.
Don't give up just because someone tells you you're crazy or just what you're thinking is crazy. Sometimes the 'crazy' person is actually the sanest of the group. And sometimes circumstances are so crazy you can't help but wonder. The world we live in can be crazy, which will require us to adapt. So don't let what you think others would say stop you from being able to believe in what you believe in. Or else you may end up just another closed-minded person.
This may or may not be the best way to introduce myself to the boards -- I'm a big fan of the comic, although I haven't said much. :| But I felt it was something I needed to say.
