What I see when i talk with furs and AB's
10 years ago
This was to be a reply to a friends journal, but it seemed like it would hijack his topic (doing that would be rude) and this journal grew out of that intended reply.

It is just that i very closely link and see a persons furrsona/ponysona that they present as the person that is speaking to or with me, like there is no separation between the character being played and the person playing the character.
A few examples of that;
1. say for instance gemma/sammy/toddlergirl/babystar, when i very rarely speak to her, (my fault there is little convos, i am too shy and bashful and ashamed of myself and actions of my own when i met her) when i read what she says in one of her journals and what I see in her art on one of her two FA accounts. I do not see a human girl who is (33 I think), I see a little furry squiggle or a Lynx. Those two animals are a part of her, they are who she is inside or at least a huge part of who she is and that is who I in some manner connected with emotionally.
2. Another example is with my former "momma" when i would spend hours upon hours speaking and playing with him i did not see him as being ryan, sterling or whatever other character he portrayed. To me in all those wonderful times he was a pony, the momma of my little colt "Amethyst Apple", my little side, the one I became when i was in as Gemma calls it "headspace."
3. this example is when i talk and play with either one of my closest friends emerald radiance or ticklevine, I do not see a 21 year old or a 17 year old person living in Europe or someone living in Oregon, USA. I see one as a pony, who is as far as RP (and strictly RP) goes is not only the wife of one of my main pony characters "Moonbloom", but also the mother of their now 6 little ponies (those two sure like to get buzay *giggle*) and i see the other as my sweet and cuddly sister.
4. The final example is when i talk and play with my little ones
TFFox and
glacero when i speak to them I see myself as their mother, I love them as a mother would and want them to have happiness just as any parent would.
Is thinking the way that i do and seeing fellow furs, babyfurs, AB's, or those who interact with me in that way delusional, deviant, strange, weird, a freak, a total loser or possibly a sign of a serious psychological issue that I may or may not have? I have no idea if it is or not.
I see it as me having a very active, vivid, full and colorful imagination, just as a small toddler or child would. I even find myself more and more playing with my pony toys as if they were living creatures.i know that those molded plastic pieces that are dyed different colors and have synthetic hair on the tops of their heads and on their rumps are not living and real horses, but to me they are as I play, brush those manes and talk to or hug them just as real as a actual horse.
Yes i do know that those i speak with, play with and love are not ponies, dragons, raccoon's, types of felines, canines, or any other form of animal. I know that they are people sitting at a keyboard, typing what is inside their heart, what the desire, what they wish they could be and most of the time what and who they are in their heart.

Yes, you're just imaginative, and that's good, it means that your brain is constantly turning it's gears, and over the years I've found that children who tend to play pretend often have greater intellect further down the line, imagining is vital for brain development, and it shows as you continue to age.
Taking role in our imagination world is a second nature for us, and i did not see it as a psychological issu.... actor play role, giving ther body voice and mind to portrait ther charactor... ok in most of the case they act acording to a pray writed text, but they have to put ther feeling in it to make us beleive in it.
People who create thos lovely cartoon charactor like little ponies have to put them self in the shoe of ther charactor went they are writhing story... Personaly i have a fursona that represent me but also a charactor that is not representing my self, but someone i will like to have in my life, and she as real for me then other people i know, i know she a product of my imagination, but who care as long as it only a part of my life and not the center of it and event more it helping me to pass difficult part of my life...
