12/12/07 [DMFA #853] - Unicorns

[e_voyager]

You know, there is a Genus issue all about Lesbian Unicorns.

There's also the story someone wrote - his name's on the tip of my tongue, I swear - about someone attempting to trap a (male) unicorn with a young girl.

As he puts it, "If they'd used a young -boy- I might have been caught. After all, I'm gay..." ;-]

that was in the book spell singer the day of dissonance i remember it because of the white tigress  RoseRoar ( she was and amazon ) whom was attracted to JTM (the spellsinger) and well i won't say any more except that it was book three in a five okay six book series.

well now that that's answered  umh what point was amber trying to make? i seriously missed it.

*Charles fears no horse!*  But I am afraid of rabid Inuyasha fans.   

We do need more "Bleach" however... 

oswari! (muhahhas and vaishs back into lurk mode)

[PurpleCheeseLlama]

Pretty much that unicorns aren't anything special on Furrae.

There is a lot of variety on Furrae...even within the Being class, like the psychologist Jackalope, and the Giraffe-taur from the Mall Arc...

[e_voyager]

ah thanks. i make up for missing things with my willingness to ask about what i missed or don't know. now the only question is are unicorns beings or creatures. probably creatures like the demon mare Kira or a related species more likely.

[Aleolus]

"What's the big deal", Fluffy asks?  The big deal is we've got motherf*'n unicorns in this motherf*n world!

[Janus Whitefurr]

So, is there a Unicron in Furrae?

*Bodda-bump-bump-bump bodda-bump chh!

Bodda-bump-bump-bup chh!  chh!

Dun... dun don...*

Points to anyone with any idea what I just typed.

Dun dun don dun dun... dada dun..~

I couldn't give you the name of the tune itself (does it even have one?) but it's the one that plays whenever Unicron is shown floating is way through space in the original Transformers movie. ("It is the year 2005...")

Tim Curry: "The unicorns are dead, is this not true?"
Blix: "Very true..."
Pig: "Undeniably true..."
Curry: "You lie!  Here... is dawn!"
Blix: "The stallion is dead..."
Curry: "Out with it!"
Pig: "...the mare lives still!"
Curry: "If only one unicorn walks the earth, my power is not complete."
Blix: "She's just a female, Lord... she has no power!"
Curry: "Only the power of Creation!  Get the mare!"

Curry: "Only the power of Creation!  Get the mare... because I have some very high-paying Japanese businessmen on the line who are really into fantasy hentei... "

That's more like it.   

[Manawolf]

I just realized Amber used this strip as an excuse to draw something in a bra.  I have noted in the past how her characters have shown a lack of such undergarments.

[Kenji]

But are you complaining?

[Kuari]

wonder if yokai exist too..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai

if this place fills up with random inuyasha fans and people who go on for a week about kitsune i am so out of here

Don't worry, I think we've got enough chainsaws on hand to keep that from becoming an issue.

Do you have the boomsticks? *picks DarkAudit up by his shirt collar, shaking him*  BOOMSTICKS!!!  WE NEED BOOMSTICKS!!!!

Heh, anyways, yeah, honestly though, I'm more curious about how some of the halfbreeds work other then cubi...

And I pray Fae as a whole are sterile, because a half fae would = end of all of existence...

But yeah, thinking more half-weres...  half angels..  you know...  the races that probably wouldn't completely take ones blood over like a Cubi would

I think Amber's said that you can't have half-Fae.  It stands to reason as their souls - if they can be called such - work in a different and incompatible way to other Creatures, and Beings.  I suspect that if it's possible to interbreed with them at all, you'll end up with something other than a Fae, e.g. a Being if the Mab - Merlitz thing from the earliest strips had borne fruit.

But yeah, thinking more half-weres...  half angels..  you know...  the races that probably wouldn't completely take ones blood over like a Cubi would

Half-Weres are something I've been curious about too, but I have no answers.  You can have part-demons like Lorenda, so at a guess, I'd imagine a part-Angel is also quite possible.

If we need the boomsticks, then it's already too late. The racket of the chainsaws should deter them from even getting in the door, without having to worry about breaking the furniture.

I'm fairly certain Amber's gone on record as saying in DMFA lore there is no half this half that. You either are or you aren't. The only exception to this being seperate species themselves. The demons, fae, etc, all seem to fall into a subclass that's tacked onto said species. Otherwise all the cubi, fae, and demons would all look the same.

[White_Pony]

I'm coming for you Fluffy...

...in fact she does say you could be half-Angel.

[Netrogo]

Ah I see, my bad.

[Amber Williams]

Not that being a half-angel is really all that amazing.  Most half-breeds tend to be watered down versions of the more powerful race.  I don't think there is any pairing that would result in a half-breed that is stronger or more powerful than the parents.

Then again, that might be my cynical side kicking in.

[Netrogo]

Don't give anyone the chance to justify any of that retarded 'Duuurrr I'm pwoerfulz lawl' bs. Characters like M'Lady, as much as I love the comic and all the characters, are completely fucking moronic. They're indecisive to a rediculous fault and I HATE giving them any ability to justify their own inadequacies.

Not that I'm saying all 'halfs' are bad. I've seen many Many good ones. It's just specifically the 'Duuurr I have all the strengths and none of the weaknesses' and the M'Lady's that take it too freaking far. Ones like Lorenda are completely fucking awesome and I absolutely love them.

[Feroluce]

especially Lorendas wings. they still make me laugh

I think you quoted Amber there.

[Naldru]

I remember that my grandfather would never let my mother ride a horse, even a pony ride.  He was a doctor and had seen too many injuries related to horses.  So even though they are vegetarians, horses are large creatures and can cause serious injuries.

I just realized Amber used this strip as an excuse to draw something in a bra.  I have noted in the past how her characters have shown a lack of such undergarments.

But are you complaining?

Are you asking if he's complaining about the presence of bras or asking if he's complaining about the absence of bras?

[Kenji]

Anything and everything involving some sort of complaint.

Also, yay unicorn girls~

[Netrogo]

Okay I can't hold it in anymore...

Does anyone else look at today's comic and picture her at a bar with some drunk guy trying to pick her up with the line "Hey baby, feeling horny?" other then me?

I've got a great older picture titaled "Why Maidens are safe from Unicorns"

Lets just say the hero was painfully suprised

Well there is the tenacity of a mutt
My best dog Zues was amutt from dog breeds not known for there intelegance but he was brilliant

I remember one time my dad wqas sick and Zues was hungery so he brought his bowl to dad.  then he brought up a can of soup, and then went down one more time to bring up the can opener

What about a were with a cubi? :p

[Manawolf]

The right awakening rituals and experience could help though.

Doesn't that basically mean cubi are weaker than angels and demons?

[Amber Williams]

It's only a rumour that Cubi came from Angels/Demons.  In many ways that many beliefs have creation stories. 

However, in terms of scale...yes. The average Cubi is going to be much weaker than the average angel or demon.  If one was to go by Abel Story reference, even Kria with much less experience would likely have been able to wipe the floor with Aniz.  However, the most powerful Cubi are stronger than the most powerful Demons/Angels...so it kind of evens out.

Ah, the spell singer series.

The author is still releasing the occasional book for it, though I think he's focusing more on his Commonwealth universe.

That series has to be one of the first strongly "furry" works I'd experienced (saturday morning cartoons excepted)

I have to admit, I had a sort of a crush on Roseroar for a bit.

Heh, Fa'lina probably scares the pants of Kria I imagine then..
