01/10/10 [DMFA #1075] - Atreyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[ooklah]

it was going to happen sooner or later, someone had to ask for a ride!  

[Cvstos]

[JD from Scrubs] EAGLE! [/JD]

Sorry folks, you all knew there was going to be a Scrubs reference to this sooner or later.

[Baal Hadad]

Heh, "Falcor" I was NOT expecting....   

[!KCA]

In all honesty, I'd probably want a ride, too. Just a short one.

Also, I vote "- Atreyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" be appended to the end of this thread title.

[Anri]

Also, I vote "- Atreyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" be appended to the end of this thread title.

I give the above statement my full endorsement!

I give the above statement my full endorsement!

The motion has been made and seconded.

[tiggertoo]

Eh, what's a little pride and dignity compared to making your gal happy -- though she's really pushing it there - and I don't mean the riding thing. I mean, come on, Falcor? Ugh, why'd she have to pick the most hideous, wussy dragon in cinematic history?

Alexsi and Ducky could have some fun with Able when they get back though -- Alexsi walks in, gives it a minute, Ducky knocks on the door to Inn - "Able, would you go see who that is?" Ah, nothing like opening the door to find an enormous dragon on the other side to wake you up -- be a real topper for Able's evening.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! 

That was pretty much my exact reaction to this comic.  I love poor PDucky's face in the last panel - it's one of my absolute favorite parts of the whole strip.

[Bjalf]

- Congratulations on surviving a difficult dinner, Ducky!
- Thank you, thank you 
- So, how did the rest of the evening go?

[Valynth]

So, how did the rest of the evening go?

The above was probably asked by Fa'Lina via telepathy shortly after the events contained in the strip.  Or via speaking the next time she and Pyroduck meet again.

[LionHeart]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! 

That was pretty much my exact reaction to this comic. 

Mine too.

[ArchTeryx]

Well, in the original novel Falcor was quite a powerful and enigmatic dragon.

Though if she just HAD to pick a rideable dragon, why not Haku from Spirited Away?  In Pyroduck's case, probably alot more apropo!

[AmigaDragon]

Really? It's nothing I would have ever expected.

I believe this is the first we've seen here of any dragon rides (or even carry-away). Sure, not much of a point, but I can't think of much else at the moment.

[bradypodidae]

I mean, really, what else could Pyroduck have possibly thought Alexsi was leading up to? Alexsi does look absolutely ecstatic in the last panel. Big points for Pyroduck?

[Tycoon]

Now I'm getting images of Pyroduck going off to the red light district and hiring the services of an amazon named Shanna...

[Bjalf]

I mean, really, what else could Pyroduck have possibly thought Alexsi was leading up to?

I'd tell you, but the PG rating makes it difficult   

[John Roh]

wait a second ... is Pyroduck naked

[Jasonrevall]

I like how the feather is still in his braided hair as a dragon. Also from Alexi, to me at least, that was a little unexpected, but hilarious.

[Kenji]

wait a second ... is Pyroduck naked

On the plus side, he does have a girl straddling him.

Across the neck, yes.

.. Hey, is that what's called "necking"?

[Lucheek]

...You know I should watch that movie. Because I had to look up "Falcor" on Wikipedia to get it. D8

Also: Have we ever seen a full-body shot of Pyroduck's dragon-form? Because I would very much like to see.

I just thought "Falcor" was something you shouted when you are excited, like "Excelsior", until you mentioned the contrary.

Besides, something in DMFA with Falkor's appearance would most likely be a mythos that's genetically compatible with dragons, rather than a dragon himself, unless there's more variety to DMFA dragons than I originally thought.

A luckdragon mythos, not a true dragon.  Very nice for fitting into TapeWolf's fanon.

Not quite.

[Gornemant]

Size does matter~

By having some of the same fiction in the DMFA universe, that allows Amber to make entertaining cultural references like this one. Trying to make fiction about a 100% foreign universe is pretty much impossible with no points of reference such as common values, desires, etc. 

On a related note, my one complaint about Avatar was that it is a bit incredulous that the Nav'ai natives acted so human in nearly every way, even though they evolved on the moon of a distant world.

[Shachza]

In a dress?  Check.
Not riding sidesaddle?  Check.
"Necking?"  Check.

A whole new level of inappropriate for this thread?  Check and check again!

However, maybe she intentionally misspelled the name to avoid a direct cultural reference.  Falcor =/= Falkor

No, he's still wearing his feather and tail ring.

[terrycloth]

So this is where Alexei spots Dan in trouble on his date -- arguing with Matilda maybe, or just too distracted to notice the ninja demons sneaking up -- and swoops down to pummel him with a hammer for not watching the bar like he was supposed to?

[Silverling]

I'd want to do that too.....
