Yeah, that still applies.

Things have gotten at least a bit better, but I'm still trying to put together whatever shreds of motivation I have left.

I shall return.

I'm going on a slight hiatus from BMGf. I don't know for how long. I wish I knew.

Reason being? I don't feel like clogging up my blog with self-depreciative rambling more than I do regardless, but let's just say that a whole lot of real-life issues have piled on top of me and sapped most of my motivation to do much of any forum-browsing.

I won't be completely gone. I'll still be active on Skype, and I may occasionally pop in every now and then, make a message or two, and promptly leave. But that's about what my activity has been these past few months, and that's what it's gonna be looking like for a good deal of the foreseeable future.

I really wish I didn't have to drop off the face of the earth as suddenly as I did. But stuff's happened, and I'm trying to put up with it as best as I can.

Stay sharp, my friends. ]]> Oblivion http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/37231/status-update-not-dead-nearly-there-56482/ stitch http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/37231/stitch-56056/ Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:15:29 GMT the mouth shut drown the wound bury the past bury the present bury the future the mouth shut

Never mind the fact that he's only about a few feet tall, he can still kick your ass any day of the week.

Funny story, that. See, I was honestly getting just a tad bit fed up with people misspelling/mispronouncing my previous username, Ombrare, so I decided I wanted a new one. As for the username itself, I actually got it from when an old friend of mine, GodzillaWolf, actually typed in "Oblivion" instead of "Ombrare". From there I just decided, why not?

Assuming that the abilities can be used in an incremental fasion, I'd go with the stretching powers.

The idea is simple. I provide various questions about myself below, and you PM me your answers. You must answer all of these questions to the best of your ability; don't skip any of them. Some of them will be simple. Others, difficult.

1. Name the past two usernames that I have been known by. (Discounting names I had adopted for the ever-popular theme weeks, i.e. Mystery Knight, Ludwig, and Dimentio)
1b. Out of these two names, one of them is a portmanteau of two foreign words. If one were to translate this username in a literal context, what would to

2. What is the title that I have crafted for myself?

3. Who is my favorite character from the My Little Pony franchise?

4. Which section of these forums am I a moderator for?

5. Name the RP character that I consider my trademark. (Bonus points if you include his real name.)

6. What is my favorite Pokemon?

7. What is my favorite character from the Pokemon series? (This includes the main games, spin-offs, Mystery Dungeon, and basically any game in the entire franchise)

8. What is the drink that I endorsed in a particular voice recording, that has now become infamous in reputation?

9. What is the name of my character in the Pokemon Blue Let's Play that I've put on indefinite hiatus due to laziness?

10. What is the name under which I produce a variety of MLP-related music tracks?

11. What foreign language(s) am I prone to using in a variety of different ways?

12. How old am I?

13.

Following the example of @Octy, I have decided to do one of these confounded tests.

Even in the emptiness that can be found in the blackest of voids, one cannot help but wonder that they are in need of a friend, a companion, someone to which they can relate their interests, sympathize in their troubles, and stand upon their common ground with a shared authority like no other.

To that extent, I have formulated a variety of various tests to see who out of those willing to participate would be most capable of standing by my side through thick and thin. (And also out of sheer boredom.) Don't worry, none of these tests will be painful...or, at least, most of them won't be.

I haven't mentioned this, but to those of you who aren't aware, I have been working on a variety of different projects over the past few days. Namely, a variety of somber and even somewhat nihilistic poems, a game set in a bleak, post-apocalyptic setting, a series of songs about cannibalistic ponies, and a fic about someone going insane about the loss of the girl he loved and trying to destroy all of existence, not to mention Trebloome, Azatiir, and various other RPs that have similarly dark tones.

I can't even explain it fully, but when I work on something, the mood or feelings of the piece of work tend to become reflected onto me. And, seeing all of the above things I have going at once, this has had adverse effects on my demeanor. Things that I had once found humorous or joyful have simply lost their meaning. I feel nothing. And no, that isn't just a philosophical statement; I really do feel nothing, except for the depression that I have surrounded myself with.

So, I'm taking a break from BMGf.

I sincerely apologize if this inconveniences anything, but I'm not kidding. Writing all of that stuff is depressing. If I continue on, it's a very likely occurrence that it will stray out of the corner of my mind that I keep it locked in.

Now, don't be concerned, I am not depressed. At least, I don't think I am, and I sincerely hope I'm not. What I'm doing here is me taking a measure in preventing something like that from happening. I know that this seems really out of the blue, me being a self-proclaimed Ruler of All things Dark and all, but if you were working on the aforementioned projects for well over a month, then it might get to you, too.

I don't know when I'll be back. I'm being vague, yes, but considering the sheer amount of depressing works that I have surrounded myself with, it's going to take a while to get them out of the front of my thoughts. Every single day for the past week or so, those things were almost exclusively in my head. And, given the subject matter, I don't think I want to keep it that way. In short, my hiatus will be as long as it takes to get these things off of my brain.

Once again, sorry if I'm inconveniencing anyone by leaving, but trust me, you don't want me to be full-on depressed. If you thought my stuff was dark enough as is, try looking at some of the things that I write when I actually believe in the nihilistic and bleak style I'm known for. It isn't pretty.

Too long, didn't read? I'm taking a break, I have no clue when I'll be back, and it's because I've been writing some really, really depressing stuff. Don't expect to hear much from me, even on Skype and other related methods of communication.

And with that, my friends, I say goodbye until our paths meet again. Mantenere vivo il fuoco, i miei amici. ]]> Oblivion http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/37231/hiatus-42562/ Monochromatic http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/37231/monochromatic-42290/ Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:16:05 GMT Good and evil.

Black and white.

Light and darkness.

These are what many consider key elements in the creation of morality. But, what most fail to realize, is that such terms, in nature, are highly subjective and completely up for interpretation. These are ideals, created by man, to serve as protection for what they think is unsafe.

These lines are blurred, severely so. The most valiant of heroes can have a heart as black as night. The most despicable of villains can be a truly good-willed man. Granted, there are many instances where the definitions we have come to accept have been made apparent, but these are far and few in between.

People have believed that the light is good, and the dark is evil. But the darkness is undeserving of these unjustified assumptions and petty wiles. They are their own world, cast away by the zealous rays of light that strive to wipe them from existence. They are the shadows that we see each day. As much of people as you and I, but unable to communicate with us. Not because they cannot speak, but because we refuse to listen.

Light and shadows, benevolence and malevolence, black and white, they have no meaning. When man gives something a definition, they strip it away of most of the potential it could have, and exposes it to near endless streams of prejudice and bile.

So come.

Embrace the darkness.

Yeah, I play Minecraft, and I have (hopefully) managed to get a Survival Multiplayer server up and running. I would like a few people, not only to test to see if the thing works, but I'd also like someone to actually play the game with. Playing on a multi-player server on your own is not only pointless, but is mighty boring.

So, drop me a line down in the comments section, and I'll see if I can send you the IP.
