Down that Yellow Brick Road

[Jose Carioca]

Walt Disney opened Disneyland with a promise that it would be a source of joy and inspiration or all the world. Ten years ago, Fantasmic Kingdom, for me, became that promise. One year ago I felt myself overwhelmed with too much inspiration and yet not enough joy. I wanted desperately to do everything at once and that lead me to giving up on RP and try to focus on myself. It felt selfish but now I look back and think it was a good idea.

Until several months ago when I clicked the link to this site and was hit by a wave of nostalgia and memories. I think I might have cried in my own way when I realized just how much I missed this place; these people that I spent so many years with. My RP drive was coming back and I was slowly returning full time to all my games. Now I'm ready to come back and I know I've missed a lot, both game wise and in the lives of several of you. I apologize for that and hope I can fix it now.

For those who do not know me, I am Moony the Sly, just Moony is fine. I joined Fantasmic Kingdom back when it was still on the old Admiral Arms forum page. I originally played Simba, Iago and Ze. For now I'm sticking to Ze, just to get my groove back. FOr those who do know me, I'm still at the same AIM and you guys have no idea how much I have missed you all. I've been sort of stalking the game for the last month but as always I'm willing to plot and plan for anything!

...I hope you guys can forgive me my Exodus....

Woah! Well this is a surprise!

I know how you feel, Moony. I tend to get easily overwhelmed when it comes to roleplaying, myself - in fact I'm still on a bit of a semi-hiatus here, haha. But I guess there's just no resisting its siren call, eh?

I never got to know you that well or roleplay with you that much, but the threads we were in together were definitely some of my personal favorites - Mozenrath attacking Merlin and Archimedes, and Tink taking Louis to Neverland. At any rate you're a fantastic roleplayer, and it's great to see an FK veteran back. Hopefully we can get to know each other a little better.

Oh, about Simba, if you want him back just let me know. I haven't done much with him at all to be honest

Son of a building block! It's Moony!

I think we've all felt what you did at some point, or at least most of us. I know for a fact I almost gave up on the hobby altogether a few times. But I'm very happy to see you, and not just because you're back RPing. I'm very happy to have a chance to talk to you again.

I haven't really talked to you in a while, and, believe me, I can explain why. But that's a private matter. lol Welcome back, Moony! I missed the living hell out of your RPing.

You did return when things are kinda quiet, but don't worry. I'll try and shake this place up again to get things rolling, especially now that you're here.

FOR GLORY!

Well, well. It's been some time!

I was on a rather lengthy hiatus which lasted over a year, until the Dream League came into being, and I jumped on that. For some time I only did that, but since then I've also returned to MU, and a couple of non-canon FK threads. Then I went on hiatus again (and deleted all of my accounts, hence my inaccurate join date)... now I'm back again.

The point being that... it happens. Forum role-playing can be a very enjoyable hobby, but as any of us can tell you, it can be immensely frustrating, too. For a plethora of reasons. But just so long as the good outweighs the bad, we'll keep on coming back to it, I suppose.

Welcome back, sly one.

HEFFY-LUV! DINGLE-KINS! COLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

I missed you guys ;+; and yes, I know that it's something that happens a lot I'm just glad it's over and I get to be with my favorite Disney-peeps again! I don't mind the slow, it'll help get me back into the swing of things.

LOL Yes! Mozzy vs Merlin! That was a fun thread...mayhaps I will re-make Mozenrath if he has not been taken yet :|a

Moony I've stared at this thread for a long while now and as a writer I'm truly at a loss for words. Nothing seems to fit the emotions I've been going through to see you here again and finding an old and familiar way to re-establish what I know has been a phenomenal connection. I still hold your visit close to my heart, it was one of the happiest times of my life and I've been thinking of you over here in England (I saw the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens today and Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow costume last night)! I'm so happy to see you back here and I'm definitely looking forward to rping with you again.

Love, love, love, Kris/Sexkitten. (<_< >_>)

Moony! Good to see you!

It's totally understandable that you felt like that - role-playing can be amazing, but it sometimes ends up as a bit of a difficult thing to juggle along with real-life. It's great to see you back though - I always thought you were a brilliant role-player and I cherished the threads we had together.

SEX KITTEN! Kris!!! I have missed you as well ;-;. You pop into my head a lot, especially over the summer. You have no idea how much you helped me during that time ><!

My Hannah! *hugs* Yes, I loved our interaction a lot, we need to do more! All the interactions! All of them!
