[#786, 05/11/07] Oh Those Crazy, Crazy Backstories...

[King Of Hearts]

Im seeing more of Mab with a beret with a Che Guevara moustache.

[thegayhare]

LOL
sorry I was playing Heavy Gear right before I read that so I have mecha on the mind

I do love the design of the Gears

[kaskar]

           Albanion said that Mab's parents were going to die tonight . They have not died yet. What zany acts can be fitted in untill their final curtain call ?

[King Of Hearts]

Tell Mab she was adopted? Or that she has a long lost sibling and that they like him/her more? Or That there is no spoon?

[thegayhare]

they could always marry her off

"Hmm Mab dear,  o you remember that Adventurer you wrote to us about?  A Dan?"

"Oh yes Daddy he's one of my best freinds."

"Ohh thats good because your mother and I decidded you should marry him,  the wedding invitations are already in the mail."


Or they could give her a ring and tell her that she must travel to mount doom and cast it into the furnace from which it was forged destroying it's evil for ever...

"But mom thats your wedding ring"

"I know dear, I know"

or they could spend all there time planning there elaberate and embarrassing funeral

were every one has to dress in yellow rain slickers , and waltz with penut butter in there boots while polka music plays...

[Kasarn]

Poor Jyrras, if it wasn't for his hair, I wouldn't even know he's there...

Jyrras is too short to participate in this comic. SHUN

[Zedd]

Oh we gotta wait till maybe later then..After all Amber still has those papers

[kaskar]

                                 Do we see in it's full glory, the tidal wave of feelings that exploded out in #544

[127.0.0.2]

If DMFA were a TV series, this would be the exact moment the commercial break kicked in...

[Zedd]

Or the moment where Ambers brain plays Tijuna Taxi by Herb Alpert

I don't know if Neni is even a fae so I dont think Neni and Azlan will get mabs father
hmmm also I think the friend is a fae so that rules out all non-Fae
and maybe Queen Nutmeg will offer Mab the title as Queen and free travel between the fae realm and Furrae in offer for the soul of Mab's mother

Actually this was brought up once before in another thread and I believe it was said that we can't really consider all the wallpaper stuff canonical because Azlan and Neni were/are owned by real people and that particular wallpaper was drawn based off of the actual Furcadian characters.. Neni in the Comic's continuity is most likely a fae...

Shere THIS STRIP

Azlan says "As a Fae, We have a more blahblah" The we Implies they are both Fae.

[rabid_fox]

Yet I can't help but wonder...is Dark Pegasus still dead?

Ooo.

Seriously though, this is ace stuff. I am enjoy the happening happenings.

The tragic backstory of Mab... thrown out for possessing a Bloodline Limit of nuclear detonation when her antennae are pulled!   

There is much emo involved and sad Japanese-style music as Mab walks alone in the snow, crying and sobbing and chowing down cookies-n-cream.

AGH!! NO!!! No DBZ/Naruto pacing, please!  It should not take 3 full episodes for a 5-minute timer to count down.  I like the pacing here as it is!

Amen to that..

[Prof B Hunnydew]

Now, This would be a Twist (maybe).... Mab's Mother tells Mab that her father and mother have a solution to get Mab back into the Fae realm.  They have to die, but Mab can only be allowed to re-enter the kingdom, IF Mab forgives Queen Nutmeg and let's the Queen have one of her parents' souls...

But frustrated Mab gives Azlan and Neni both souls....Just to get the Fae to shut up, and stop buggy her for the new souls.


PBH

Oh boy, I have been waiting for this a long time..... "FAIRIES!!!!"

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Yes this EXACT point was brought up in an older thread... by me, no less. But thank you for saving me the trouble of having to re-explain it myself, or resort to necromancy...

[Zaon]

yeah but you must also remember he was trying to come up with an excuse as to explain why he was married yet had no ring

[techmaster-glitch]

I'm pretty sure the "excuse" was somewhat valid, or he would have been lying through his teeth. And Azlan isn't that kind of character (I think... )

[Zaon]

...he was trying to get out of saying he lost it and from what he says is a violent person

[Rafe]

Mab and Nutmeg are characters taken form Shakespeare's plays,  Fairies if I remember correctly, but they weren't in the same play. Heck they weren't even in the genre; one was in a poem spoke by Mercruscio, in Romeo in Juliet; a tragedy, and the other was a lesser character in A Midsummer's Night Dream, a Comedy.

Now I feel like a nerd for knowing all that.

If you were really a nerd, you'd know the guys name was Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, who gave the speech on Queen Mab (act I, scene 4).  Mab was taken from Celtic legends, and is associated with sleep and dreams, and is sometimes described as the Queen of Fairies.  Mab is alo mentioned in A Midsummer Night's Dream (no Nutmeg isn't, but Titania is), and because of Shakespeare, Mab ended up in countless fairy paintings, and even music.  There's a "Queen Mab Scherzo" in Hector Berlioz's "Romeo and Juliet Symphony"  But back to Mercutio's speech - It has some great lines:

"I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone
On the fore-finger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep..."

And

"...And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies straight,
O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees,
O'er ladies ' lips, who straight on kisses dream,
Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues,
Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are..."

Probably the all-time best (or at least the longest) Mab-related work is the poem "Queen Mab" by Percy Bysse Shelley.  It goes on for two hundred seventy-seven lines.  An excerpt:

'I am the Fairy MAB: to me 'tis given
     The wonders of the human world to keep;
     The secrets of the immeasurable past,
     In the unfailing consciences of men,                           
     Those stern, unflattering chroniclers, I find;
     The future, from the causes which arise
     In each event, I gather; not the sting
     Which retributive memory implants
     In the hard bosom of the selfish man,
     Nor that ecstatic and exulting throb
     Which virtue's votary feels when he sums up
     The thoughts and actions of a well-spent day,
     Are unforeseen, unregistered by me;
     And it is yet permitted me to rend                             
     The veil of mortal frailty, that the spirit,
     Clothed in its changeless purity, may know
     How soonest to accomplish the great end
     For which it hath its being, and may taste
     That peace which in the end all life will share.
     This is the meed of virtue; happy Soul,
        Ascend the car with me!'

For some reason now I'm seeing a giant Mab Mecha with missle pods and a lazer cannon

Makes you think Mabs a Princess. I think she's royality that's what I think

[nikename2]

Well seeing as how the Queen is Nutmeg and not her mom, I kinda doubt it. It could be possible though through some weird switched at birth thing, or Mab's mom is really her adopted mom. I just don't see that happening though.

DBZ?  Naruto?  Heck no!  This is ONE PIECE pacing!  Where it will take 40 episodes to get through one fight on a bridge!

  at lest we know why Albanion is here...

Just be happy it's not Inuyasha pacing, in which you'd be fighting the same bad guy, who almost gets destroyed then comes back over and over, for virtually the entire story without end.

It'd be like Dark Pegasus resurrecting again and again and getting more power each time so Dan has to keep getting new powers, but be careful lest his ebil cubi blood take control... uh-oh... I may have given Amber ideas with which to torment us!
