Why do we need fantasy worlds or movies and things stuff like that?

[Jean]

Mordred,

I am very sorry if my remark seemed to be directed against you personally, while it was directed only against your statement about the Inquisition, which seemed to me mythological - as opposed to historical. I am, however, willing to apologize for whatever inadvertent offense I've made, and I have to beg everyone to reserve any attacks against people's religioins, - even those which might seem mild or based on common knowledge, - to religious threads. Especially since we've just given an example of how explosive the topic is.

Actually, I do enjoy a bit of religious D&D - is there anywhere we can start some here...or would you rather we didn't go there?

There is no such place right now, but you can always create one.

I think we need fantasy worlds to have a place to escape. That's all.
It doesn't mean (for me) that life sucks.

It may be so, but why do we need fantasy for that? Can't any other kind of literature help us escape if we need that? Any story is not the story of our life, so, logically, any writer describes another world where we can go, away from our every-day life?

Some people escape here some people escape there. Maybe I don't have a fantasy world because I write.. I don't know.

[Jean]

Some people escape here some people escape there. Maybe I don't have a fantasy world because I write.. I don't know.

I think that may be the reason. When I write, I notice that the part of my soul responsible for maintaining those fantasy worlds becomes dormant. (isn't it time you wrote and posted something new, by the way?........)

Jean, I cry yer pardon.

[Wuducynn]

Unless it's towards CK, then it's just fun and games.

And good for your health too don't forget!

[Jean]

Jean, I cry yer pardon.

thine is a noble soul, sai!

This pic above Jean rocked my heart.

Damn. Major teddybear cutness. I will die from the cute!!!!

[Letti]

Damn. Major teddybear cutness. I will die from the cute!!!!

Oh please don't.

[Daghain]

But it would be a happy death.

[Letti]

But it would be a happy death.

Cry your pardon, sai but not for me.

[Wuducynn]

Okay speaking of death, the lovey dove-ness and sweetness in this thread is about to kill me.

[Jean]

why am I not surprized???

[Daghain]

Poor CK. Too many warm fuzzies in the world.

Poor Matthew. I am so sorry. *goes to look for an axe*

I need fantasy worlds because the real one sucks so much.

I second that emotion.

[MonteGss]

In our fantasy worlds, things can be like we want them to be. We can feel, live, do whatever we want. No limitations! In my real life, I don't have a frickin choice sometimes. It can just plain suck, as other people have already mentioned.

[Letti]

Can we say that our human mind is not able to accept that there are things we can't get?
I know it's a bit philosophical but I would be interested in your answers.

[MonteGss]

Hmm, I think it can accept that fact. It doesn't mean liking the fact though.

[Darkthoughts]

A weird thing I have sometimes though, is that I try and limit myself in my fantasy worlds too sometimes. Like say I wanted to be able to fly AND shoot lasers out my eyes AND be psychic, I'll find myself thinking "C'mon, you can't have ALL those things! Maybe I'll just go with the flying." Helloooo!! Its fantasy Lisa - you CAN have anything you want!! Does anyone else do this?

[MonteGss]

I would totally want all of Superman's powers (not his weakness though...but shit, there really isn't such a thing as kyptonite, so who cares?) but I would also really dig telepathy. Being invisible would be totally fun as well.

[Letti]

I wouldn't like to have superpowers... I would be able to handle them well. Big reponsibility...
