((OOC))

Well, after I’ve had some time to digest my decision, I’ve found that this is the right thing for me to do.

I’m going to let Basil sleep now. After all he’s done, the guy deserves it. I’ve said all I can say. Basil’s story has been told. He’s been through life and death struggles and moments of extreme happiness and grief. But now, it’s time to let sleeping dragons lie.

It’s been a hell of a ride.

8 months, one of the longest running ask blog around here.

All those memories are going to stick with me for a lifetime.

And it’s not over.

I’m not leaving tumblr.

I’m not going to stop RPing just because Basil has run dry.

I want a fresh start, a character who is completely different, a whole new well of possibilities.

And that is why I am going to be running my Pinkie Pie blog in full force from now on.

That is where I am going to be.

If you like reading what I do here every day, if you’re one of those people that keeps me going, that’s where I’ll be.

I love each and everyone of you guys, everyone who’s ever clicked the follow button.

“They say dragons never truly die. No matter how many times you kill them.”

I can not go any further

I know many of you would expect a long, written farewell.

Something to leave you with, to think about.

But I am terrible at farewells.

All I will say is thank you.

And good luck.

For now, I sleep.

I am not too sure if Rarity deserves you Basil, you are a dragon, and you have your needs, as does Rarity, and it seems to me that you have sacrificed far more for this relationship to work than she did, maybe it's time to move on...

That is…not true…

The pony I thought her to be…always deserved me.

Always.

Never forget that.

Every ounce of my blood I have shed for her and every tear.

I gave up nearly everything that made me happy to be with her.

Because she was all I needed.

We lived in her world, with her friends, with her customs and her preferences.

I had nothing but her and my hoard, just a stranger in these lands, for her.

The Rarity I mated myself to, I still love.

I just do not know if that Rarity still lives, or died some time ago.

Her voice is the one I need to hear and that is all there is to it.

If it's about what she feels, and she hasn't said anything, why are you so quick to believe it is over? Or has she already said it - with actual words, that is?

Her silence speaks volumes.

My ears are open, but no voice speaks.

It has been this way for some time.

The particular quote I had in mind was "Love makes fools of us all," Basil.

It would explain all the foolish things I have done.

But what does that even matter anymore?

It does not matter what I feel, it never really mattered to her.

It is about what -she- feels.

Do you recall what Shakespeare had to say regarding love and fools?

If I recall, that was a common theme…

Do..you have a specific quote?

At least ask her if this is what she wants.

She does not want me laying more of my problems upon her.

If she…cares, my cave is open…as much as I would rather not see her again.

Too many…feelings.

askobsidian replied to your post:

I am sorry great one. I am not sure what else I can offer if her heart is not in it as well.

There is nothing to offer.

She would be happier without me.

And that…that is all I want.

For her to be happy. 

How do you know that normalcy is what she wants?

Because, I could tell from her eyes.

Maybe, she was just in love with the idea of me as well.

And even that went away some time ago.

Being normal. That must be the worst curse imaginable.

It..it is not even that.

She would be happier without a greedy, meat-eating, socially-inept, braggart around.

And everypony else would as well, having a dragon around, just makes you all suspicious and angry.
