56-01 - Playing truant
To reference an old turn of phrase, the left paw and right paw are comparing notes, but the right tentacle wing is under radio blackout. In other news, pour one out for the office door, taken before its time.
One wonders what the left wing tentacle is doing in this scenario...

No no, you're right. I should have reread my original post. :mowdizzy

I'd love to know how he came to that conclusion- I didn't see the two wayward students anywhere near Daxxon or Lady Finch.
56-04 - In which we almost found out what the Epsilon Project actually is
And in which we finally get a mention of Cyra's own Prince Daniel.
56-05 - What the Epsilon Project actually is
So the Epsilon Project is a PTSD Generator. All they have to do is evoke it, and every Cubi in the room will curl up in the fetal position begging for a mercy that they know will never come. This is officially a "If there is even a 1% chance that it'll be used we must treat it as an absolute certainty" situation. Daryil is right. This is cursed treasure of the highest order. Cursed, irradiated, and covered in some sort of toxic dust. The only correct response is to calculate "Minimum Safe Distance" while boarding a spaceship on the exact opposite side of the planet.
56-06 - Ear scritches work especially well on 'Cubi
Is this future-DMFA-plotline sourced from somewhere?
Quote from: Farry on June 19, 2026, 06:06:23 PM56-06 - Ear scritches work especially well on 'Cubi
Is this future-DMFA-plotline sourced from somewhere?
The "dragons created 'Cubi" thing was a fan theory post from way back that lodged in my head because even if it's not true, it plays perfectly into Jakob's world-view of the dragons wanting to get rid of his kind.
Amber has often said that the ending of DMFA would leave several races extinct, and the Biggs-Destania coalition are definitely trying to do that. It looks to be Mab-the-character's plan too.
I did at one point ask Amber for some vague steer in what a post-DMFA world might look like because if the 'Cubi were eliminated or if Tri-Wings stopped being a thing as part of some great reset, it would have nixed the plan for Project Future.
Taking what I was advised then with what we have learned since, it seems likely that Destania's plan will succeed to some extent - but it is worth keeping in mind that I asked my question almost two decades ago and the planned ending may have changed over time. But I can say that with Biggs having fae-given powers, altering things so that the dragons all die or are forced to flee the dimension becomes within the scope of his abilities.
If that ending
does change, Project Future will be an alternate timeline very similar to the original.
If the dragons disappear for a different reason, you'd probably get away with going back and altering a few word balloons.
56-07 - How to make a dragon
So the Professor is basically going to clone Pyroduck.
Hybrid, not clone. The end result needs to be both distinct enough from baseline dragon to survive in this reality, as well as genetically diverse.

I don't know what's funnier about that line: the idea of an emotional support axe, or that it's named 'Susan'.

i really despise ai-generated "artwork". even a little mspaint stick figure would have more charm, life and sincerity in it.
without even getting into how the whole dataset plagiarises from other artists
I'm not angry, just disappointed.

I'm equally disappointed with THIS reaction. I didn't share that to impress, I did it because i figured it was funny. Now you're entitled to not liking things and that's why I even put a nice disclaimer in there and if the reaction would have been to say: "We don't like AI here so please don't" I would accepted that, deleted it and moved on but now you've chosen to immaturely not only insult me and bring my mother into it? Wow.. At least Tape and Merlin showed some constraint and because of that I will be removing the link but you sir, you have shown your true colors today. And I thought you were better than that.
So here's a do over that hopefully doesn't offend as much except with my screamingly bad hand drawing skills.

Thx Merlin, I'm also looking into getting better tech since my current draw pad has me fighting eye hand co-ordination. Lets see what i can add in the future when I'm not frustration doodling ;)
i think you can draw a bazillion times better than AI and should keep doing it!

For starters: I don't even know who you are. The fact you "Sir'd" me shows you don't know me as well as you'd like to think. Also my "true colour" gravitates towards the "#9D6B64" end of the colour hexcodes.
Secondly, i dunno about you or anyone else here, but posting AI
anything in a forum full of creatives is heavily considered "not the brightest of moves" - I don't think you want to to go any further in depth other than that unless you want another insult lobbed at you.
Thirdly, yes, keep drawing. Then you'll be able to yell at people for using AI art. >:3

Thanks for the kind words Merlin, really appreciate it. And noted about Turnsky, I'll keep that in mind.

In spite of the small improvements since the Destania Incident, it says a lot about the state of this land that a forester would casually mention having to cleave the odd bandit as well as trees.

It's the Furrae equivalent of exiting a European forest in summer but instead of ticks it's "Ok, everyone strip and check for bandits." Wait, in hind sight that may be just the 'Cubi version of it.

No joy. It might be because you are linking to the image directly, rather than the Furaffinity page it is attached to. Let us see if that works.

Curiously it works for me, but probably only because I previously pasted the link into the browser with an open FA session.
Furaffinity really, really isn't intended for image embedding and if it works that's by accident rather than design. Either post the actual submission link, or use a service actually intended for linking images. (Keeping in mind Imgur tends to block territories requiring age verification)
Apologies for turning this into a trouble shooting session :B
I've switched to Postimages, let's see if that wants to play along.
