06/01/08 [Hybrids #6] - Crossbreeding with the Fae

[RyuuYareYare]

Damn. And i thought DanxMab wouldve worked out.

im a little sad now

[The Darkless]

I think we need Emo fan service. Hollow wallpaper!

How thinly would you slice them, though?

[Victoire Épique]

They are pretty much vegatables.

Om nom nom.

So how many servings of veggies does eating a hollow count for?

I assume quite a lot if the crossbreed was fae and dryad.

Eww, Dryads.
Too bitter for me. Maybe a fresh Mythos would be a better-tasting specimen for crossbreeding?

Looking at the picture of the Hollow you can make it more or less disturbing by deciding if her eyes are open but blank, or closed as if sleeping (Or see both for a even better effect)

[Goatmon]

This comic has given me some twisted ideas which I will not be sharing on this particular thread for the sake of maintaining a PG rating.   

So what happens if you stick another soul in the hollow, after it's born? Is that possible? Does it turn off the counter to eventual death?

Souls dont work that way I am afraid. And the fact the hollow are magic immune sort of makes it pretty impossible to try.

Souls are magic-based? 

[Brunhidden]

and now i have the chilling mental image of a fey, curled up in bed on a stormy night, seeing a ghost inside their head of the hollow child they had slain years ago. true, they obviously cant have ghosts, so its just severe guilt and depression causing hallucinations in an Edgar Allan Poe kinda way.

oh yes, to make it complete the apparition would be singing "gollum's song" for triple extra creepiness



yeah, i can see how a fey would consider something so depressing to be anathema to them, their normally cheerful existence reminded of mortality and, merciful Odin, CONSEQUENCES for their actions!

Where once was light. Now darkness falls. Where once was love. Love is no more.. Don't say goodbye. Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry. Are falling rain. For all the lies you told us. The hurt, the blame!. And. we will weep to be so alone. We are lost. We can never go home

So in the end. I'll be what I will be. No loyal friend. Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye. We say you didn't try

These tears you cry. Have come too late. Take back the lies. The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep. When you face the end alone. You are lost. You can never go home

[Wanderer]

Souls are magic-based? 

They don't have to be. How else is one going to move a soul into another being except by magic? Even if a soul itself isn't magic, magic would have to be used in transferring it, assuming such a thing was possible at all.

So. Hollows. Looks sad, on the surface, but thinking about it it isn't really. This is completely different from a person who is rendered a "vegetable" through brain damage or whatever. In that case there is still a person there, they just can't do anything. But here, there's nobody inside the body at all. There is NO person. Just a body-shaped mass of flesh and organs and such.

[Azlan]

So Azlan and Neni don't get to have kids then...

[Turnsky]

So Azlan and Neni don't get to have kids then...

lest they adopt

[Tapewolf]

Or one just falls out of the sky as happened to Mab.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

"... and that was the last time I got Neni pregnant!"

ROFL.

Oh, the morbidity!

[Madmann135]

that leaves one question in my mind.
Since Fae souls are recycled (ultimate Fae recycling plan, they don't throw anything away, even their sous) what would happen in the one in a galactic chance that a Fae decided to die and randomly send said soul out while at the same time a Fae and a non-fae made a 'mistake.'  As a result of their error the non-fae was pregnant and at the same time that wayward Fae soul made its home in the womb of the pregnant non-fae.  Since the non-fae child (possible fae 'hollow') would have a fae soul would that still make it a hollow, or would the Fae-to-be get bored waiting to be re-born and move on.
Don't answer it, it's my dirty mind thinking in overdrive.

I must say this puts an interesting twist on the crossbreeding scene.  Yes the hollow in the pic has an interesting look to her but the fact that no brain activity nor-any activity other than survival would really be a downer.  I wonder if the white hollow look catches on with the goths.

Oh the horror...
I can't believe someone posted that.

[Jack McSlay]

The fact they have no brain capacity to learn how to walk on their own...much less fight...would likely sway anyone from thinking they are a valuable source of soldier.

That is until they capture Jyrras and force him to create artificial brains to be implanted on hollows

To be expected from a guy with your humor.

[Lucheek]

Well....gee. Thats sad. 

Now I can't get the image of a crazy-Fae mom taking care of their hollow kid.

"Would you like some more poridge dear...?"
"..."
"Here you go. I painted your room, don't you like it?"
"..."
"I love you."
"..."

As the slow pitter-patter of rain hits the outside window. The mother's clothes are moth-eaten rags, and dust collects on the door, never opened.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Oh, the morbidity!

Well, duh.

Oh the horror...
I can't believe someone posted that.

Someone had to, otherwise someone else would have gone nuts tearing the idea to pieces. Or doing other, unsavoury things to the idea...

To be expected from a guy with your humor.

I have much better humour than that. Just you wait and see...

Edit:

Actually, here's a quick question: Why is the Hollow stored in a padded room? It's not like she's going to hurt herself, is she?

[Raffe]

RealDoll (tm)!

Now, that makes me think of something.  Would a quarter fae have a soul? An eigth? Would the quarterbreed just be whatever other parent it had, no part fae? Or how about a three-quarter fae?

That's what I thought of immediately, as well.

How sad they are.

How would you get a quarter breed, since you can't get a half-breed to breed with? And if you do get a half-breed, you can't breed with it anyway?

Come on, people. At least smash the two lonely brain cells together sluggishly. Sheesh.

[MT Hazard]

I don't suppose it is necessary in a world with magic but they could be a good source of replacement organs, blood, etc. (Ever see the 'vampires final solution' in the blade films?)

[Amber Williams]

One really needs to consider how old the Fae are, and how much experience they have with dealing with other worlds/dimensions/realities.  The average Fae can often live longer than the average civilization.

Part of the reason the Hollows are so depressing for the Fae is because despite this, its something even they can't quite "fix".  And believe me, they have tried.  It can go without saying that at some point it was likely every suggestion you guys have given has been tried...each time with the same result.

Thats something I keep needing to remind you guys about the Hybrid Genetics page: Fluffy isn't giving hypotheticals, she is giving straight up facts. If there was a chance for an exception, she would have added "with a rare exception of..."

[Alondro]

The sex doll idea reminds me of "Ghost In the Shell: Innocence".  I think Ink would desire a supply of them to perform bizzarre experiments upon.

And an implication that souls are magic-based in Furrae... hmm... what of souls from other dimensions?  If they are all the same, that makes an intriguing transdimensional continuity.  A link through which all worlds could be dominated!  Yes... yes... YES!!!   

On another note... It's a Hollow!  Like "Bleach"!  Bleach, Bleach, Bleach!   

One question though:  What is the significance of 21 years old?

[Sunblink]

"... and that was the last time I got Neni pregnant!"

Llearch, you are a magnificent box.

PS: On a totally unrelated note, Turnsky, I typically hate spiders, but your avatar is oddly adorable.

Om nom nom.

They'd be empty calories.
