Grrl Power #703 – In space, no one can hear you canoodle
So… yeah. Sydney doesn’t have a furry thing per se. >cough< She’s just been through a lot recently and is maybe realizing that life might be short, so when the cute (?) starship doctor is giving you some pretty clear signals, maybe explore that instead of being too self conscious to try new things.
Sydney had to save vs. social insecurities to agree to hop into a bath with a guy she’s known for like 5 minutes. She didn’t get a critical success. If she had, she wouldn’t be blushing so hard she gets a rash, she just squeaked by on the roll.
Xuriel, in case anyone has forgotten, is Dabbler’s actual name. Just thought I’d mention it since I’m the last person who should expect everyone to remember every name and alias ever mentioned in every piece of media they consume. I guess I could have just added her to the Who’s Who, but that seemed weird since she’s not actually on the page.
Frix is assuming quite a bit about Sydney’s relationship with Dabbler. While it could be interpreted as Frix suggesting that anyone who hangs out with succubi becomes increasingly wanton over time, (might be true) he’s simply assuming that a person would need a certain temperament to associate with them for an extended period. Dabbler can certainly be exhausting at times. Of course, we don’t know what his own experiences are with succubi. We know Cora is good friends with Dabbler, and even if Frix has never met her, he’s at least heard tales of her exploits.

SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Doesn’t have a furry thing my ass. She totes love the fuzzbutts! Not that there is anything wrong with that lol
Next scene: Sydney learns that the wet dog smell is a turnoff.
Wet dog smell is only offensive when a dog really, really needs a bath. I’m guessing Frix bathes daily, and so has a more pleasant body odor when wet.
Actually!
Wet dog smell is caused by wild bacteria in the fur activating while wet. Should a sentient with fur possess technology sufficient to brew, /if it occurs to them/ they can establish their own purposeful, benign yeast/bacteria colony in their own fur, causing them to smell at least like something cool. Like beer, or cheese, bread, etc..
And a mechanic fuzzed one would obviously have even less a problem because their fur is likely sterile considering how much nonbiological oil/lubricant their coat would be subject to.
So I don’t think it’s going to be too bad of an issue.
Besides, a wet, freshly bathed cat doesn’t smell bad…nor does a cat that’s only ever eaten dry food. (Wet food & tongue-bathing, yeeuck!! *ahem*) Most beings that bathe frequently, and have access to soaps and other surfactants tend to be pleasant-smelling. (That’s one of the points of soaps, etc.) So I think Sydney will be fine…and might even get to pick out the available scents, too!
Space Wet Dogs smell like hot chocolate with marshmallows.
HORRIFYING! *shudder* (at least to a few races…)
Sydney is being just the cutest thing ever right now.
Agreed.
…I was having a really emotionally shitty day, today…and now I can’t stop squeeing inside in excitement on Sydney’s behalf.
Yes, yes she is being the cutest thing right now.
Nine Months Later…
BREAKING NEWS: Superheroine Sydney Scoville a.k.a Halo gives birth to Half-Wolf Girl
One?
Given who the father is, don’t you mean a litter?
She’s going to NEED the flight orb with how big she’s going to get…..
Human Females generally ovulate only one or two eggs at a time, thus even when millions of sperm are shot into her, she’ll only give birth to one or two kids.
If it was a Human Male mating with a Alien Wolf-Girl, then it’d likely result in a litter of fifteen or so, if that’s how many that Aliens species generally gives birth to at the end of pregnancy
This is Syd we’re talking about, she’s already not even CLOSE to baseline human, even without the orbs, insanely high tolerance for spicy foods being case in point.
If there’s any human female who’ll be the first to give birth to a litter of lycan hybrids it’s Sydney……
I think she started rapid ovulation the moment she laid eyes on our fuzzy friend up there.
Hmmmm… maybe
Maybe this is how Cerberus comes to be?
Take a human egg, give it multiple wolf sperm and then stuff it full of firey spice powers?
With Syd as it’s parent, even Smaug or a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon would be no match for it.
She’d be feeding it blisterweed and burnwort from day one, slowly turning it into something that could scorch galactic armadas with a look, incinerate planetary empires with a whisper, hell itself would be it’s idea of a balmy vacation spot…….
Fiction doesn’t need to adhere with realities of biology. Just look at all the fantasy works where (human) woman gives birth to a number of goblins or whatever else.
That’s because the daddy was a goblin or whatever else
lets get super freaky…what if Frix is actually a female and has an ovipositor kind of like a sea horse..
Your mind is wondrous, friend.
The larger the brain, the lower the number of babies per berth (racially-wise), and longer the gestation period; this, of course, is in general, and does not exclude the occasional twins-octets. Also add in larger body mass to add more time to the gestation period.
Or we could all be completely wrong and he reproduces in a completely different way…..
He may look humanoid, but well…..
Didn’t Dave say something about spores?
She’s on the pill though.
Not to mention the other contraceptive measures they probably have. Or the species barrier.
It would be funny if it was Frix who ended up pregnant.
“SYDNEY!
Choos got some ‘SPLAININ TO DO!”
i’d say it’s totally confirmed: Sidney is a furry XD
Also confirmed: shenanigan-amenable under the right circumstances.
DaveB’s under-the-comic blog: “Sydney had to save vs. social insecurities to agree to hop into a bath with a guy she’s known for like 5 minutes.”
Yeah, right. Sydney is how many thousands of light years from home right now, so who does she know (socially-speaking) that’s going to find out? Oh, Dabbler might find out, but I’m sure that she can be discreet about it, especially if Sydney threatens…er, admonishes…Dabbler soon enough.
Dabbler? Discreet?
More like https://youtu.be/lQlIhraqL7o?t=77
That link? It no work, even with editing the URL
Clicky works for me. Copy & paste too. Song blocked in your region? Anyway, look up the song “I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon)”.
Now it works, unfortunately :P
My statement might apply if Dabbler finds out from someone other than Sydney herself at first because Sydney is not likely to tell her. In such a case, of course Sydney might have to get an “Oath of Silence” from her. Whatever else you may say about Dabbler, she does seems to live up to whatever “Word” she gives, so it would be a matter of Sydney getting that “Word” out of her.
Personally I think Sydney is going to have a zero chance of hiding she did anything with him. One off comment about wolf boy and Sydney will go bright red again and Dabbler will know in an instant and want all the gooey details.
Pornosense a tingling…
Cause Pornosense is the best sense when it tingles… ;p
Pornosense doesn’t require batteries to tingle.
For those who have social insecurities, it as nothing to do with knowing someone involved, it has everything to do with even the possibility of anyone finding out, even if they are completely alone (you can never be too sure there isn’t a camera somewhere, even in your own room… )
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Appreciate you mentioning it.
Mentioned (explained) it because personally have it
Into anthro stuff and furry are pretty different. As excited as she was for the weres, plus Frix here, It’s a certainty that Sydney is into anthros, but it’s not certain that she’s a furry herself.
Adorables… Question: is that how a furry thing bathes, or humanoid bathes? Cause… you know… one involves a good tongue workout…
I don’t think Humanoids can reach their entire body with their tongue in order to do that.
At least not this one. That’s Slyvyrnus’s thing https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/3075
As Dave’s link above points out (and the page after it subtly confirms), a good tongue workout on fur could still be in the cards for either Frix or Syndey. Or both, because being selfish is bad etiquette throughout the cosmos.
Sydney works even faster than Shepard and Kirk.
Truly, ahead of the class!
…not intentionally.
Is it me, or did Sydney grow in cup size? That has to be a B. At least not small for someone with her frame.
That’s pushing C territory if she doesn’t pad tbh.
The others, excluding Peggy, are at D and up, so there is some chance of art migration.
So Sydney spending so much time around so many Superboobs that it’s starting to rub off on her?
(For all of you who have been contemplating GrrlPower fanfic, you’re welcome for that mental image)
We all know that Sydney and Peggy started this comic as members of the A-Team. Perhaps there is an allergic reaction taking place due to Grakz or those “spicy flakes” she added to the Grakz, some localized swelling in certain glands. If so, she is consulting with the appropriate crew member.
I thought it might have been a reaction to the atmosphere of the alien planet. She had the shield orb up but has to make a small hole to shoot out of, so maybe she breathed in some atmosphere. I do like the idea of the new food causing it too. She was worried everyone will think she is a fake when she gets back do to her change in attitude but she may change physically too. Peggy will want Sydney to take her for lunch to see if the reaction can be reproduced, you know… for science.
That ‘hole’ is not a hole she shoots out of, it’s a reticule for her to aim (or adjust the size of her burst)
You maybe getting Peggy (the Osprey-flying sniper) mixed with Dabbles?
Say what you want, at least Shepard romances first
OTOH, look how Sydney has buffed up with ARC training. That would certainly make an A cup stand out a bit. Now, where did she put that bik\\\swim-suit?
In the insinerator :P
Working out the pecs also can increase cup size- not to mention that Syd’s probably been eating a little better, now that she’s the Queen of Salt and having strenuous workouts every day.
This was actually discusses a bit obliquely, Sydney got very upset when Peggy said some variation of “the a team has to stick together” referring to how only they had a small cup size. Sydney’s response indicates at least to me that she is at least a b cup.
Found it. https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/876.
She does look a lot smaller there or here https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1583
But if I take https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2145 as a reference she has a bigger size then Peggy. So a B would be my guess. with her frame and being smaller then 5’4″ that is still quite a some.
Personally took it to mean she was that self-conscious even implying it publically was too much for her, plus, she’s only just met Peg, and surrounded by near-naked glamazons, the hug was probably too much
That’s how I also took it. Also, as a sniper, I’m guessing Peggy has a good eye and didn’t misjudge Sydney’s size.
Peggy is more used to seeing objects downrange, through a scope. Maybe she could make a misjudgement, similar to what they print on those sideview mirrors: “Objects up close may appear smaller than in the scope.”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
* bigger size than
Could be just a trick of the light. Direct overhead lighting and underboob shadow can add a cup size.
Breasts can increase in size due to sexual excitement, plus, she’s arching her back a bit, another sign of sexual excitement. Body-blushing is not just a sign of embarrassment, but can also be a sign of sexual excitement. If Sydney’s nipples tend towards the perky, when excited, then her bra is definitely padded and performing a heroic service.
She is arching her back due to leaning on her arms
There’s also how her shirt is being pulled up tightly on her underboob too. Same effect.
Nice to know I wasn’t the only one thinking that. She does look notably bustier in the comic than in the Patreon pic, although I suppose that could be partly due to posture.
Nah, just posture and a clingy t-shirt highlighting her natural figure. Plus, I think we’re all so used to DaveB downplaying her femininity that actually seeing it “really out there” is unusual.
Yes, there does seem to be a notable difference, and while her team companions still make “flat” reasonable terminology, she does seem suddenly more “mature”. To speculate on this important point[s?] we still have one unidentified ball. Could it cause a reaction when she is near an “interesting” partner?
Now *THAT* would be interesting.
Her ‘furry attraction’ seems more like ‘I want to pet the cute puppy/kitty!’ kind of thing, at first, but after the initial reaction she sure seems open for more.
I think there are soon to be mutually-consenual shenanigans afoot.
@LordViking
An earlier strip references her familiarity with furries. With a note at the bottom stating she “was onboard the day she got online.” So nah, she’s DTF (Down to Fur.)
DTF = win
*hands you your internet prize*
Get it, Sydney!
1. Good for you girl! You needed to relax (and get some stories to tell back home).
2. When I read this, Frix’s voice was gentle with a little growl to it, something like a young Sean Connery.
BaveB, thanks you so much for letting us in on your world!
I re-read the last two pages, and Frix works amazingly well voiced by a young Sean Connery. Which other voice actors do you have lined up for DaveB’s characters?
In previous comics the consensus was Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor) for Deus and Ron Perlman (Hellboy) for Vehemence.
Do not forget that Frix is also going to have a few stories. Specifically I bet he is going to find it interesting that the human had another tuft of cute fur matching the color of the hair on her head.
I see that Sidney can sped up her heartbeat till it looked like it flatlined, just like the Flash.
Or more like she can punch precision electronic until it stops working. Granted, that’s a common power.
I’d say that Sydney is familiar with the Engineer’s Emergency Procedures for when machines act up.
EEP #1: Hit it (thump it one in Scottish).
EEP #2: Kick it (especially if you’re wearing regulation steel toecaps).
EEP #3: Hit it with something, like a large spanner. Good for especially recalcitrant technology.
EEP #4: Defenestration. Only for advanced Engineers. (Literally through it out the window, preferably when on the 3rd storey or higher.)
Exactly the abbreviated ritual for the Adeptus Mechanicus (though step 4 is highly discouraged).
Not really. It doesn’t mention any of the chanting, use of blessed machine oil or holy incense required to appease the machine spirit.
No, step 4 is not discouraged, it is recommended to only be performed in a building that is not located in a vacuum or similar (you don’t want to quickly follow the object you just defenestrated)
In the case of the window facing space-vacuum on one side, a suitable alternative ritual for “throw it out the window” involves impromptu computer debugging with a very large ax…Zaphod Beeblebrox-style.
I understand that reference. I even have the VHS tape of that reference.
…Poor Eddie, having to put up with that kind of s**t…It’ll all end in tears.
This is related to, but very different from the Fonzie method.
The Fonzie method is more about being so cool that the laws of physics adhere to your will.
Sidney applied a reverse Fonzerlelli.
Fonzie could start AND stop things at will with his rap.
Fonzy could even select which record would play on the jukebox with his rapping.
Steps one-three are all encompassed by the term, “Technical Tap”.
Laddie, up here we call it bench-thumping.
EEP#5 – If Russian and on board a Shuttle. Repeatedly hammer on it with a wrench bemoaning where all parts are made regardless what country ended up making it.
EEP #4 has to be slightly modified when in deep space to use an airlock rather than a window. Otherwise you might accidentally defenestrate more than you intended, possibly including yourself.
Some of us call EEP4 “Gravity-utilizing hardware acceleration”
Have referred to this technique as “percussive maintenance” for many a year, as inherited form one of my dear friends who used to be an Air Force tech in Alaska during the SR-71 years.
Gonna also suggest, this probably counts as foreplay with Frix. A talent like that needs to be explored.
It seems more like Sydney suddenly became radioactive. The “geiger counter” increased & even her cheeks started glowing…
ᗒʖᗕ
Oooooo, Sydney just Looooooves this doctor’s bedside manner.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope she has a Scooby snack or similar to share :)
I’m sure Frix knows exactly where and how to nuzzle her for a snack.
Although, it occurs to me that Sydney might taste quite a bit spicy. Usually I have to worry about it the other way around. If I eat habeñero (or similar) peppers, I have to make sure I don’t kiss anyone … anywhere … for at least several hours or it sets off fire alarms and can result in a trip to the emergency room. For me.
In Frix’s case, he’s a doctor. Probably has an antidote at hand should he need one.
Just casually popping in to mention that Habanero is not spelt with a tilde over the N, since that would denote a Ny sound like in Jalapeño.
THANK you! Saved me the trouble.
Well, looks like Sydney’s going to get her furry Frix sooner, rather than later.
For those who remember the “underground comix” of the 1960’s, I would’ve said “her Fabulous Furry Frix, Bros!”, & then I’d toss-in a reference to “Fat Freddy Scat”, just for good measure.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Freddy%27s_Cat]
Sydney going to have a looooong hoooooot and furry “bath”
Oh man, I can’t believe she’s going to go through with it.
Though if I were in the same position and it was a similarly furry but female alien I would be hella hard pressed to say no even if it was just for a bath and groom. I can totally sympathise.
I suspect even Dabbler is going to be surprised when Sydney gets back. “Why are you setting off my porno sense? What did you do? More importantly, WHO did you do? I want details — all the details!”
Strangely enough, I find it a bit odd that a doctor would have the space-tech equivilent of Dabbler’s Porno Sense detector in the Sick Bay…Then I remembered that these ARE Dabbler’s friends, after all.
I’m wonder when is going to connect the Xuriel Dabler dots and realise just what frix was implying…
I’m sure she’s already connected those dots — which is why her pulse rate suddenly went turbocharged….
Her heart rate went nuts cause frix was about as subtle as the fight at the restaurant..
You realise that that is simply a heart and vitals monitor, right?
BIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIPBIP
But, does he have machine that goes ‘ping’ ?
For the few non-Python fans in the audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKodtNFpzBA
Forceuser: Oh man, I can’t believe she’s going to go through with it.
Me neither. I think Frix is going to decline.
“Sorry…it’s a cultural thing. We don’t share our bio-fluids with just anyone we meet. It’s supposed to be… Special.”
I think the virgin in today’s installment is Frix.
Saving his space-bucks until he can afford to have
a mate and offspring of his own species.
It is a standard trope that when the girl is interested, the boy is not, and/or that when both get down to serious business, there will be some minor interruption, such as a shipload of space pirates.
Then again, the act of grooming is also a hughly social ritual that both offers & receives expressions of mutual trust & certain levels of affection…As well as ridding oneself of nasty parasites. Even though Frix was first startled by how direct & forward Sydney was, we can see in panel #3 by his expression that he’s quite empathetic & sincere with his own mutual offer.
Even though his return-offer doesn’t really state anything beyond mutal grooming, I’ll bet that as a doctor, he knows full well what what that machine is indicating…
Wow goes from normal heart rate to overdrive in just a few seconds, this will be interesting. :)
To the Kirk Adventure! AWAY!!!
Doggy-style, hur, hur, hur.
But seriously. I didn’t peg Sydney as the type to have a sudden interspecies fling in the depths of space. But some light canoodling (and heavy petting, hur, hur, hur. . . sorry) doesn’t strike me as out of character either.
Ooh, ooh! Addendum: I just noticed on his forehead. He’s a _horn-dog_ .
Oh, gawd, you’re just awful and I’m a terrible person for laughing at that.
I can confirm from my younger days that a evening after a revel can be well spent just giving mutual back rubs, and (in her case) a long hair grooming. She had very long red hair >sigh<
A long kiss good night, and we went home separately.
Just remember that in space no-one can hear you scream…
Also, what happens on the away mission stays on the away mission
Remember also…Sydney has just lived through a pretty serious solo combat, not to mention all the off earth shenanigans before and after. And the fight that kinda blew the top off the mountain. And getting lost in space.
Sydney is going to pass out in the bath and possibly wake up snuggled up to a big blue teddyfrix.
And she will be very upset or depressed she missed out on the fun because of exhaustion..
Wonder if she will get his number for potential future hook ups?
You’re right. Given what she’s been through, she’s probably just waiting for an appropriately inappropriate moment to pass out.
Heh. I guess it might be harder to come by a fuzzy guy who will not make you one of them (if all body fluids can transmit the virus), so why not enjoy the moment?
Also: It might be mean, but Frix also cleans the ship while going into all the crawlspaces, like a feather duster… So he is not only the medic and engineer – but also the cleaner/’cabin boy’?
No, that only works with theriothropes, not aliens who are born fuzzy
That’s what they’re saying – That Sydney aught to make the most of this encounter because all her earth fuzzies come with a price.
Since I am a polymorph. A characteristic given to me by a goddess. Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon. i I am in a furry form, which under the polymorphic spell. Therefore my furriness, is natural to me, if I was in a fish form, my Scales would be natural.
well could also be respectable bath like hot house or mixed bath. so bathing eachother doesn’t mean sexual but can easly lead into it XD
Not the Wolverine of her dreams but close enough. :D
Sydney’s about to have her very own personal “Close Encounter”. :D
And now confirmed, fur and skin-tight suits (hard-light or otherwise) do mix well.
*not
confirmed by this EGS: http://egscomics.com/comic/2012-10-17
And now confirmed, fur and skin-tight suits (hard-light or otherwise) do not mix well.
What is that thing around Sydney’s neck in panel 1 and why is it gone in the other panels?
That’s her communications choker that all archon has. As for why it is missing in the latter panels, I would have to hazard “art error”s
…or the doctor asked her to remove it briefly. Probably gave it a good cleaning.
Or it might gave a voice-actuated recorder built in, and Syd doesn’t want Archon to have a record of the proceedings.
I’m guessing that’s a heart monitor that’s going off like that. Honestly I don’t know if her being friends with cereal has anything to do with her wigging out about his appearance. We all remember how she was when she met Gregor. And I want to say her name was cat why can’t quite remember much about her aside from her trying to rip Sagat move oh and that she was a rabbit.
I like that the ship’s doctor is also the ship’s “doctor” in a way.
I am predicting (would love to be wrong ) that Sydney will fall asleep in the bath and wake up as they arrive back on earth.
Given how long this day has been for Sydney and the high probability that she has been running on pure adrenaline for some time now, passing out from fatigue is not at all unlikely.
Heh, that was my thought exactly!
I think shes too excited for that plus odds are she just got a WHOLE nother Energy surge
One possible scenario is Sydney and Frix together in the ship’s Japanese style bath, doing the traditional wash each other’s back scenario. Sydney starts out enthusiastic, but literally passes out against Frix’s back while she’s washing him. He, being a gentleman of an advanced and enlightened species, does not assume he has permission to go any further with Sydney than she has already allowed. So he simply towels her off and puts her to bed.
When Sydney awakens, she realizes that she and Frix didn’t “finish the task”. She asks Cora to please please please fly around the solar system a couple of times before landing so she and Frix can finish what they started. Cora obliges and puts the shipon autopilot so that she and the rest of the bridge crew can get a little bathing of their own in while Sydney and Frix get to know each other a little better.
That’s when the Squidward armada shows up seeking revenge on Sydney.
It’s good she won’t be left with that nasty gash on her face, it looks like the stitching machine is very fine-grained and the stitches very solid, given that increase in facial blood flow and pressure.
I dunno, she’s missing out on some serious cred with the rest of the team.
Apart from surviving and killing multiple scyscraper sized mobs, thousands of fighters/drones, being able to create atherium gates, traveling through space and possibly time alone, possibly owning nth level tech…
ok so maybe the scar thing wouldn’t have been that big of a deal.
… This suddenly makes me wonder what products they would actually have at this point in technology. What does a “bath” even look like to them and what does it even entail? For all we know it doesn’t even involve water at all and uses a gel like compound that simply absorbs grime while allowing the gel to be cleaned out later for reuse. Even if a bath was water based, what would soaps and shampoos even act like?
Since most earth creature grime/smell is because of body oils and salts, water with soap is actually very effective and efficient. It’s pretty easy to recycle the water. There could be some tech applied to drying off. Towels aren’t so effective or efficient, maybe something like a Dyson airblade, but full body….
If they’re anything like earth life in physiology — and there’s a heavy hint that elder races keep seeding the Galaxy with related species — then it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that many sapient species will enjoy the low-tech solution of “immersion in hot water while having outer skin layers cleaned by very mild detergents.” Not all of them, sure, but surely some will likely prefer it over a more efficient, high-tech method. I mean: many of *us* do, after all.
What happens in space stays in space!
…at least until the aliens invade and they make propaganda out of the holotape recordings of the hometown hero’s interstellar liaison.
:P
As for whether that propaganda works against or in favour of said hometown hero, depends on your cultural preferences!
OF COURSE Dabbler can be exhausting, she sucks your energy as she bonks you.
you may have neglected to draw in her collar thing in all panels but the first
And in the next page of Grrl Power we finally find out that the seventh orb is actually Sydney’s Virgin Alarm.
1. Sudden abandonment in a deadly environment. 2. Several near-death events. 3. Belief for a short time that you had actually been mortally wounded. 4. Witnessing extreme violence against others, up to and including physical dismemberment.
Add it all up, and Sydney may be just about due for a major melt-down. We might get a chance to see just how good a healer this guy really is.
a doctor would definitely have psychological under his belt in space ship. so his calm mood and so on actualy helps I probly have same reaction as Sydney to him XD if hes shown to hve voice of morgan freeman but with a growly snarl here there or like rytlock brim stone from guildwars 2 DING or typbalt lightbringer guildwars 2
I think we can tell just from appearances that Frix is a blue healer.
After her recent and extremely stressful adventures, I think that some personal attention and a gentle, but attentive lover is exactly what Sydney is going to need to head off a serious PTSD problem.
She may develop a sudden emotional attachment to Doc Mc Fluffins because of the precededing stresses. Humans form emotion bonds quickly under high stress, life or death situations. Stockholm syndrome is the logical extreme of this human trait.
Laughter may or may not be the best medicine, but your nickname choice for the Doc cracks me up and I hope it becomes canon.
GregorBarkley is probably going to be a little jealous when he hears it, and then a little ashamed of himself for even caring.This would be the ultimate long distance romance. But if anybody could make an Intergalacticaly long distance romance work, it would be Sydney. Having her own personal Atherium Causeway doesn’t hurt.
So Sydney might be checking off another item on her intergalactic adventure scoresheet?
[√] Amorous encounter with an alien.
Artistic license exists and it has been used to waive quite a number of things in the last few months, so many things that the concept of furred lifeforms not wearing clothing to prevent snags, glues, oils, etc really breaks thing. Mechanics, emergency crews, etc wear long sleeves to protect themselves and prevent the long cleanup or cutting of hair process.
I’m guessing you’ve never tried to clean a cat or dog that’s gotten into a sticky sappy mess or other hydrophobic material. Water is not your friend when grooming most things other than dust/dirt. Liking long hot baths has little to do with getting clean. Soap has been around for thousands of years and yet it still is not a wonder cleaning tool as anything abrasive enough to remove “heavy duty” dirt/grime is typically bad to very bad for your skin/hair health.
Except his race didn’t evolve on Earth, so how his fur reacts to such things may not be the same as how terrestrial mammalian fur (even human hair!) reacts to such things.
Right, and that is the point, the fur has become artistic license. A story point supported by “handwave” or “technobabble”, possibly with “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” or “There are more things in heaven and earth”. There are serious risks when artistic license is invoked, a story becoming “wish fulfillment” is one of largest elephants in the room.
How many “handwave” events can/should be used, what is the canary threshold?
The fear is the line has been crossed and we are too close to the event horizon to see it.
I am sooo looking forward to her getting back with the intersteller knotch in her belt and almost everybody looking both shocked and impressed.
Can I just say bravo for the ‘knotch’ pun? That was masterfully done :D
She’s not a furry huh? Oh she’s just an exophile huh? Yeah that’s what they all say. Let’s call it Fenoxo rules, so long as she doesn’t eat any food he offers, she’s not a furry.
I see you have traveled Mareth as well good sir. ;)
Oh dear. She did eat the spicy bowls of food with the spicy food flakes. We don’t know what planet those were from, or what effects they might have… (Though FDA regulations being what they are in most advanced civilizations, there’d be penalties for selling food that can change basic biological structures without full disclosure pamphlets with helpful pictures provided in advance, at the very least.)
