Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures is a light-hearted AnimesqueFurry Comic originally based on characters on an early MMO (Furcadia) of which the author, Amber M. Williams, was a regular member.It is a well-written and consistently funny series with a surprisingly detailed Back Story (much of it only given in an extended world description presented as a set of separate webpages). However, it's probably best to start with Chapter 6 or 7, or even 12, which leads into a Retool.Check it out.
Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures provides examples of:
Fa'Lina, to the point that some wonder if she's even evil at all. Although, evil or not, Fa'Lina is an utter bitch sometimes. And kidnapping someone "for their own good" is still kidnapping. (Technically she is a complete bitch all the time. Since she's, you know, a poodle.)
All Crimes Are Equal: Albanion is well known for handing out Fae curses at the most minute perceived slight towards Queen Nutmeg. Refusing a hug (even if the spear in her chest would have killed you for accepting), running out of Nutmeg's favorite cookies, sneezing in her general direction... of course, this is pretty much par for the course for his Cloudcuckoolander race.
Arranged Marriage: Wildy has one set up for a certain age and her father has so far found five possible candidate husbands which she finds acceptable. When Dan points out how weird this sounds to him, she replies that not having your marriage arranged sounds weird, backwards and impractical to her.
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Kria's hobbies are "chaos, destruction, hiking" while Regina's are "mayhem, murder, jewelery-making".
Art Evolution: Just look at the first comic and the last comic- you could never tell they were the same artist!
Lampshaded after Dan has become an adult cubi: he is shown a photo album picture of an old strip to demonstrate that yes, his powers have made him sexier.
Asexual: Abel, he claims that he doesn't think he is gay, or straight, or bi, or whatever recent slang he hasn't bothered to memorize. And that the closest thing he has to an orientation is "not interested".
Author Phobia: Amber is frightened by horses, and the main villain is a demonic black horse. One of the other scary characters (Kria) appears to be some sort of zebra with wings. I wouldn't say it's much of a stretch to assume that this is because of Amber's fear of equines.
Badass Normal: Dan, back during his adventuring days. Inferred, from his being called out of retirement, vanquishing Dark Pegasus, and because Regina fears to face him without a weapon in hand. The "Normal" part is arguable, though. Normal for the setting, at least.
Back from the Dead: Dark Pegasus. Thrice prior to the series, then a fourth time that Dan tries (and fails) to stop after killing him for the third time.
Bag of Holding: Matilda has a belt designed to sneak food into movie theaters that can hold a whole lot of stuff. Matilda sells these kinds of things for a living. Mab originally went to her store to find one to LIVE IN. The sword she gave Dan as a gift during that visit also has one in it.
Even Jyrras has shown shades of this. See comic 102
Lorenda Soulstealer, at least early in the series, where she actually does eat people on occasion.
Kria Soulstealer... though, after about the 900th comic, when she stops being so actively depicted as a literal maneater, she's still not exactly "nice" so much as "Affably Evil".
Bilingual Bonus: Debatable whether this was intentional, but... Incubus literally means "I lie on top," Succubus, "I lie beneath." And Cubi are generally considered to be tricksters...
Demons and Fae, at least, amongst the Creatures, both have this going on. Fae are, well, they're The Fair Folk. Demons believe strongly in Social Darwinism and thusly not only are fine with eating anyone too weak to keep them from doing so, are stated to generally not have a concept of "revenge" on the individual level. By their viewpoint, any Demon weak enough to be killed by another race deserved to be killed.
When Kria sees Dan trying to kill her niece Regina, she does nothing to stop him and laments that if she'd only been younger, Dan would have sworn to kill her instead.
Carnivore Confusion: Even beyond the fact Demons and some 'Cubi (at the very least) eat Beings, there are also non-sentient animals running around that are eaten for meat. The author's notes state that there is something of a taboo against eating "equivalent" species (dog-Being eating a non-sentient dog, for example), but otherwise nobody makes a big deal out of it. The Creatures do tend to throw this fact around when Beings object to being eaten by them.
Cat Smile: Since about half of the population is feline-based, they're not rare.
While retaining its comical roots, the strip has become... darker.
In-universe, this is actually an aversion — the secondary arc in chapter 24, likely the darkest one thus far, is actually a flashback to Dan's first outing as an adventurer.
Abel was taught magic by Kria Soulstealer; the two have yet to meet in the main comic.
Dan's father. For starters, it's implied that Abel knows him. Well, he definitely knew his former wife. You know, the mother of his boss... and the killer of his dad.
Genesis (Jen) and Merlitz' former adventuring party.
The Chessmaster: Mab, of all people, who, as a member of an immortal and nigh-omniscient and omnipotent race, appears to be running atleastone major gambit with some very sneaky behind-the-scenes and direct manipulation. The true motives and goals are yet unrevealed, as is if these gambits are even linked. It appears that the plot is mostly to do with keeping her friends alive as long as possible. Just how far this will go, and for how many friends, is yet to be seen.
Comic Book Time: Though the strip has been going strong since the beginning of the 2000s the strip implies itself to have only really progressed by days, weeks or months at a time rather than the many years it has been running.
Dan is twice mentioned to have a stash of high heels under his bed "to improve his balance". In a flashback of his first adventure, Dan sprains his ankle while wearing high heels and decides to find a way to keep that from happening again.
Contractual Genre Blindness: Dark Pegasus isn't so much genre blind as he prefers the "classic ways" of doing things whenever possible. Not being a stupid villain, however, leads him to only fall in the cliches when facing Dan, as he knows that Dan believes in a fair fight. This is probably why Dan has managed to kill him before the series started. Twice.
Conversation Casualty: During a flashback to the first meeting between Dan and Dark Pegasus, Dark Pegasus kills a girl with a blast of magic in mid-sentence.
"I offer this advice to you two: If you're going to destroy something... do it mid-dialogue. They always expect you to finish talking first."
Crapsaccharine World: While fuzzy, comedic and with pastel colors (see image above), the world is flat out one of the most brutal, depressive, unfair settings you will ever find. 9/10 of the Complete Monsters are free to rape and torture as they please, casual murder is routine and is treated as comedic, an entire race of Jerkass Gods run around creating havoc with impunity and the Demons roam Furrae unchecked to torment mortals for eons. Winterweir is freaking Equestria in comparison. This strip states that the vast majority of races don't live to die of old age because Furrae is such a tough world.
Cursed with Awesome: Dan seems to think Fae curses of vengeance fit this. Makes sense, since a Fae curse discourages anyone else from harming the target — Fae really don't like kill-stealing. Fae are also capricious enough that they tend to forget about their targets for years, and the eventual "revenge" is usually little more than a harmless prank. Dan once had such a curse.He abused the hell out of it. But then the Fae called in their revenge. So now he loses all his feathers whenever he eats shellfish.
Even Dan has shown some skill with this trope: He has to fake being somebody's boyfriend? He tells his real girlfriend all about it, preventing possible misunderstandings.
Dating Service Disaster: A dating service file sorting error matched Jyrras' parents for a date because it failed to tell apart regular kangaroos from kangaroo rats, leading to a Tiny Guy, Huge Girl match that was also Love at First Sight. They are still Happily Married. Not only that, they got pregnant again in their sixties. The subsequent Parental Sexuality Squick got Jyrras reaching for the Brain Bleach. His sister seemed just fine with it though.
When he's not The Unintelligible, Pip shows traces of this. Maybe. A rare example seen here, hinting at being far more than we've been let on to believe.
As noted above, Dark Pegasus just won't stay dead. Of course, this is largely thanks to his sister reviving him with the ritual he developed. Kria points out that he would stay dead if they just cremated the corpse. It's also arguable how "cheap" death is, since Kria says he comes back slightly more wrong every time.
A Degree In Useless: When Fa'Lina explains to Abel that he's following Dan back to Lost Lake, he objects that he will miss his classes. In golf and grass growing.
Detached Sleeves: Apparently these have a fanbase in Furrae; a number of characters wear them, most notably Abel.
Distinguishing Mark / Glamour Failure: Most Cubi have a Clan mark, which they cannot conceal with shapeshifting. They can, however, cover it with clothing or even make-up.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Dan, with his long hair, fluffy wings, and dress robe, gets mistaken for a woman all the time. Sometimes he hates it, but sometimes he uses it to his advantage...
Despite her protests, at first Lorenda seems almost as dangerous as her mother, meeting Jyrras after killing some predators stalking him, moving in with him after being evicted for killing and eating everyone else in her building, and as soon as she's settled in killing two door-to-door salesmen for being door-to-door salesmen. Contrast to when Jyrras is under the Fae curse, and she harmlessly knocks out the paparazzi. It was suggested in that early story arc that Beings followed the normal food chain, and the Soulstealers' demonic heritage only explained why a cow and a horse eat meat, whereas it's later established that all Beings are omnivores, preying on non-anthropomorphic animals, but only Demons and other Creatures eat sentient beings, and indeed, even this is later downplayed.
A joke is made early on about Mab being caught up in in eighties nostalgia, when later knowledge about the history of Furrae ("guy" is an older word than "man," a flashback to the seventeenth century looks very much like the twentieth, etc.) makes the similarity in eighties fashion seem essentially pure coincidence, and a date of 1991 making the nostalgia joke seem odd. And Mab's Sailor Moon doll is much more recent than the eighties.
When Aaryanna first appears, it seems Succubi are a kind of Demon (indeed, she even calls Destania a "Demon" at one point) who act like typical Horny Devils and necessarily feast on the innocent. All this flies hard out the window when we meet Abel and Fa'lina...
Easter Egg: A number of secret pages have existed on the site at one time or another, with a warning that mentioning them on the forums would result in a ban, containing plot-relevant future information, including a bio of Rose with a number of insights into the Fae, and Fa'Lina's bio before it was posted officially. However, likely due to the attention from outside sites such as these, all that haven't been posted openly have been taken down, with one exception (a page on human/creature hybrids, found via the grey arrow on the "last" page of the hybrid sequence, confirming that humans once did exist and hinting that their fate would become relevant later on).
Eccentric Mentor: Fa'Lina fits this trope perfectly, as her semi-omniscience gives her the desire and opportunity to play a very odd mentor. While she always tries to help those involved with her, she prefers teaching them lessons in the most ironic ways possible. And muffins.
Fa'Lina, while not voicing any objections to a whole class around torture, squelched Destania's plan to get children involved. There was also a memorable moment where she punched Anizrepeatedly for his bad, bad parenting.
Even the Guys Want Him: Less an in-story development than a local meme: Everyone is gay for Abel. Everyone. And now everyoneisstraight for Abel. Well, except girls, who are all gay now. Fugit. Everyone is now Bi for Abel.
Everyone Is Related: Almost everyone in the series has deep connections to the Ti'Fiona and Soulstealer families.
Evil Brit: Dark Pegasus is voiced by a British man in the DMFA Radio Project. Why? "Because the villain always has to be English".
Exact Words: Mink telling Dan that he will never want for another bed after spending a night in his room. Possibly Mink's room is the reason why most Cubi don't sleep.
The Fair Folk: The author does a good job showing that the Fae, rather than being expressly good or evil, are utterly alien to the rest of the setting. Visiting their realm indeed qualifies as a Mind Screw to non-natives.
Fan Fic: There have been numerous stories posted by fans on the forum that take place in the DMFA universe. Fortunately the most prominent ones barely qualify as the first type of Elsewhere Fic.
One of which is being adapted into a webcomic (note that it doesn't have any canon characters and takes place over a century later).
There's a lot of tension between Beings (effectively humans) and Creatures (everything else with magic powers) from a long, not quite over history of Creatures considering Beings to be prey. Different kinds of Creatures have had outright racial warfare.
Dark Pegasus despises the Undead and considers them his greatest mistake. Seeing a fashion article that considers the Undead to be popular hits his Berserk Button, and he decides to put all of his other ambitions on hold to finally deal with the Undead once and for all.
Fantasy Gun Control: "I mean, who knows what kind of device one can make with a fully natural material?!" "Bang."
Four-Fingered Hands: All the Beings and being based races have them. Averted sometimes, such as when Dan was turned into a human, he had five fingers, and Maltilda has two (no thumbs).
Gag Boobs: Fa'Lina. It's a rather subtle progression, but Fa'Lina's breasts gain a noticeable size increase between her first appearance and present day.
Gambit Pileup: Several factions — most of them with nebulous motives — are known to be making plots involving the main cast, including Destania and Biggs, the Creature Council, Fa'Lina, Mab and possibly Kria and Pyroduck. And Dark Pegasus, while he's alive anyway...
A few times, most importantly when Dan was pretending to be his sister. The characters treat it no differently from crossdressing, even though the art makes it clear it's..."total".
Not to mention Abel a couple times.
Genius Loci: The SAIA Librarian is bound to Library in all possible ways...
Gilligan Cut: Comic 597, Abel: "I don't want to go. And I know you won't force me, so unless you have a trick up your gloves, this matter is closed." Cut to Abel walking down the hall with his luggage.
Glamour Failure: Fae and Cubi can both shapeshift, sometimes imperfectly. Jyrras has tried to synthesize it with his Patches, with varying success.
Cubi can't hide their clan markings by shapeshifting, although clothes and makeup work.
Nutmeg screws up her impersonation of Albanion, and Mab catches it.
Invoked by Destania when she impersonates Biggs. He calls her out for using his old hairstyle and she mentions she meant to give Dan at least ONE clue he wasn't talking to the real Biggs.
Inverted (thankfully off-panel) by a SAIA combat student. Judging by the instructor's reaction, this isn't even the first time it's happened.
Hair Wings: 'Cubi have miniature “headwings” (as well as a regular pair) in their default form. Dan discovered he was one by having them grow in. Instantaneously.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Fa'Lina's agenda is so well hidden we can't even be sure if she's a good guy or not. Of course, that all depends of whether you consider her actually evil or not.
Horny Devils: Largely averted with the Cubi race despite the name — they're not really demons, and while they feed on emotions their (clan-dependent) affinities for specific ones range all over the map. It's explained that the clan Nact'larn, who fit the trope much better, have a tendency to hog the spotlight. Kria Soulstealer on the other hand definitely plays with the trope every now and again, though mostly for laughs. Aaryana, who was introduced before the rules for Cubi were really developed, also plays it more-or-less straight.
Hot Amazon: Dan's favorite type of person. Gets a bit disturbing in light of his half-sister being one.
Hyperspace Arsenal: Dan can hide BFS in his clothes. Alexis hides a giant mallet in hers. Though somewhat justified by their preferences for loose, baggy clothing (though usually a robe in Dan's case).
Hyperspace Mallet: Alexi has one, she sometimes uses it on patrons who try to skip out on their bill.
If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Her: Before leaving for SAIA, Dan makes it clear that if anything happens to Alexsi, Pyroduck and Abel will die; he's not worried that they will do anything to Alexsi—Pyroduck and her are already dating—it's that Dan is very protective of his sister, and with him gone for a month, is passing responsibility for her safety to them.
One of the reasons Beings and Creatures don't get on so well is that Creatures are often quite willing to eat Beings. Lorenda and Kria Soulstealer both eat a number of Beings in the series. At least, during the early strips.
The last time someone killed a member of Piflak's clan, she killed them, turned their bones into a pipe organ that to this day hasn't needed tuning, and the rest were baked into pies.
Mink: They were the most delicious pies ever created...
They're not actually immortal, but pretty much every species of creature seems to stop aging in their mid to late twenties.
Fa'Lina seems to be a bit older.
Cubi can shapeshift. Cyra explicitly shapeshifted to fit Dan's expectation of his grandmother, even though she first appeared around Fa'Lina's age and hundreds of feet tall.
Cubi Clan leaders, while not truly immortal, are unable to have children of their own.
The Fae have their own version: no Fae can have children unless auctioned/given the soul of a voluntarily deceased Fae to "recycle" for their own child, keeping their population at a constant number at all times. It's not that the Fae can't have children without the donation of another Fae's soul. It's that they choose not to, since without said donation, the kid is... well... soul-less. The result is not pretty. Or, at least, it's horribly depressing: without a soul, the kid has no emotions and no magic — and no motivation to do anything. They're termed Hollows, and the only one shown so far shows up in Demonology 101, in what looks like a padded room. To quote Demonology 101, "they're more or less, empty husks". Also motivating the prohibition of Fae/anything relations that would lead to kids being born is the fact that Hollows always die on the 21st hour of their 21st birthday... as if having a kid who is magically null, and also void of all emotion weren't depressing enough.
Lampshaded Double Entendre: "Most likely because all adventurers are known for their impressive swords! Now... I have not seen his sword in action myself... but I can assure you that it is most likely of fine quality".
"You two like to get a little 'yiffy'! Don't ya? Eh? Yiff yiff!"
Fa'Lina is the last of her clan — and due to the Immortal Procreation Clause, that's not changing any time soon.
When attaining Tri-Wing clan leadership status, a Cubi loses the ability to bear children or change other Cubi to make them part of their clan. Lacking a regular Cubi to create more clan-affiliated Cubi usually drives clanless leaders insane, though Fa'Lina seems to have staved off madness by taking care of the SAIA students as her own clan and loving Pyroduck as her own son.
Late Arrival Spoiler: It's difficult to talk about almost anything in later chapters — including the existence of three or four major characters — without giving away a major twist in Chapter 14. In fact, seeing pretty much any single strip since that so much as features the main character will give it away.
Let's Get Dangerous: Dan got called out of retirement to vanquish Dark Pegasus, again.
Karma Houdini: The second cornerstone of the setting. An example: A female cubi for thousands of years had systematically raped, mutilated, slaughtered entire families and untold inoccents left and right without a single shred of empathy. Then she got in to teaching and she had to be forcefully restrained from torturing children's to death by the Headmistress as a form of education. Who is this demon that makes Mr. Rictus look decent? Dan's mother, who is in quest to eradicate the Dragons. And she is treated sympathetically or at least with slapstick comedy. OH DEAR MORALITY.
Killer Rabbit: The Mows can digest any non living matter, though they usually stick to fabrics and such...
Mad Scientist: Jyrras. Who has created, among other things: the aformentioned Deathbringer, a Griffin-shaped Humongous Mecha, and the Mows. (Well, it was in his lab, though he wasn't there at the time...)
Abel. Abel's Story implies that this is significant
According to the relevant Clan Leader page, all Cubi belonging to Clan Quoar also have these as a common trait, though none of them have been seen in a major role yet and it can occur outside the clan. (Abel himself is an example.)
Having either the eyes or the feather/bat combo wings are considered a good omen, and any Cubi born with both are rare and highly idealized.
Mood Whiplash: The dark, grim and moody Fae arc is immediately followed by the general wackiness the cast is known for.
Kria cares about her family and immediate acquaintances, but tends to randomly kill other people on a whim. She's also extremely protective of Lorenda. Most other demons apparently consider her to be applying the correct morals to the random strangers she kills, and to have a moral lapse for the people she knows, but in practice, it's a common lapse.
Aaryanna, likewise, goes around killing Beings for fun, and knows that Destania at least has no moral qualms with torturing children, but still accuses Destania's alleged killer of Van Helsing Hate Crimes. Unlike Demons, most Cubi aren't like this, although they do tolerate it.
Motor Mouth: Mink, frequent purveyor of panel-filling monologues. Also Cyra, in her first opportunity to talk with her grandson. While the former is canonically androgynous, the latter is undeniably female: the author gets in some Self-Deprecating Humor with the caption.
Polearms are probably not even a class weapon for Fae.
No Bisexuals: After coming to terms with his crush on Dan, Jyrras immediately becomes convinced his attraction to Lorenda was just a mechanism of denial. For what it's worth, Abel's choice of language suggests he doesn't entirely believe him.
Offscreen Teleportation: Fa'Lina pulls one off in Abel's Story part 2. When Abel wakes up in SAIA's infirmary with Fa'Lina on the bed next to him, he tries to slip away while she's ranting about her Gag Boobs; he makes it as far as the door, and finds Fa'Lina already on the other side.
Omniscient Morality License: Fa'Lina comments that being nigh-omniscient has the side-effect of turning you into a sociopathic Jerkass. With what little we know of Fa'Lina, though, she could easily just have been that way before she became so powerful. Considering her signature emotion is hope, she may very well just be putting on an act.
One Degree of Separation: The entire cast seems to be connected through Fa'lina, Kria, and/or Destania.
Deebs, especially if she gives aforementioned Puppy Eyes.
Chibi Abel. And deliberately so.
Amber: I will not rest until I kill a diabetic with this website.
Retool: Chapter 16, building on The Reveal in Chapter 14, makes Cubi almost as central to the strip as adventurers, introducing such central characters as Abel and Fa'lina.
Adding that someone has a cute butt when describing what one likes about somebody.
Sarcasm Mode: Abel's switch is fused in the "on" position.
Saving Christmas: Referenced in a non-canon bonus arc. Rather hilariously, Deebs wants to save Christmas so much that she gets Jyrras to kill Santa (again) just so she can do it. Given her name, it could be considered sinister...
Schedule Slip: The Author is frequently sick. Doesn't seem to matter as her viewers are addicted to the comic, but it's noticeable. Amber also suffers frequent obnoxious computer breakdowns preventing her from working on the strip. Recently, she started posting rough colored strips that lack fine shading and background details to give the fans their fix of updates sooner than her production schedule would otherwise allow, posting the finished page once completed. The community reaction has been positive to this initiative.
Schizo Tech: According to the background, Furrae has widely varying technology levels, where modern cities and medieval towns can be a short walk away from each other. Then there's Jyrras and his Humongous Mecha and Magitek, but he's been advised by some to not release his best technology too soon...
Sexy Backless Outfit: Expect any winged Creature to wear one of these at least once, though the purpose for wearing is generally not for Fanservice. Fa'Lina may be a more traditional example, however.
Azlan is forced to wear one by Neni at one point. He's also forcedto wear one by Wildy, in exchange for the return of his lost wedding ring. He got it from Neni, though.
Mab gets put in one in an earlier arc.
Ahem. Mink trumps all of them with nothing but a loincloth on.
Abel gets pretty close with his miniskirt and boots.
Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Jyrras's inquiries in magical contaminants in materials have found some highly consistent properties that may lead him eventually to create a theoretical all-natural material with no contaminants whatsoever. Mab is apparently behind this, carefully manipulating towards this goal.
Superhero Trophy Shelf: The walls of Dan's room are covered with weapons displays. No telling how many of these are souvenirs, since it's been shown that Dan appreciates swords.
Lorenda and Jyrras' sisters figured out that Jyrras was gay before he did.
And Abel learned of his crush on Dan simply by proving to Jyrras he could read his mind, though he wasn't trying to find anything specific. He didn't even realize how important that detail was until the terrified Jyrras fainted.
Also, Cubi don't actually need to eat physical food, so most only eat a couple of favourite foods for pleasure. This appears to be the case with Dan and ale.
Dan swears vengeance on Dark Pegasus after seeing him obliterate in cold blood an undead adventurer who had become his friend. This was the catalyst that drove Dan to kill him multiple times and try (unsuccessfully) to keep him dead.
Victoria's Secret Compartment: Mink is terrified of what Piflak is going to do when one of her clan was murdered. First s/he hides in Jakob's shirt, then s/he hides in Fa'Lina. Fridge Brilliance when you consider that squids (Mink's tail and "ears" have suction cups) possess an affinity for squeezing into tight spaces when scared. Many underwater divers have reported smaller ones slipping inside their masks!
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Several races in Furrae have two forms, but 'Cubi are the masters of this. And the Fae are the Grand Masters, but we don't see them using it so much, while Cubi use it for combat and to disguise their nature.
The medal goes to SAIA's shapeshifting class teacher Change who keeps changing forms not only in every single frame she is in, but is in constant fluxwithin severalof those.
Cubi can't dream. Said Abel right before he woke up. If it isn't a dream, then what is it?
Chapter 14. The revelation that Dan is an incubus is so central to what comes after that it's hard to even talk about later arcs without giving it away.
More accurately, wham text, but still, Abel's father, Aniz Siar, is pronounced deceased for twenty-seven years, killed by Quintinga Ti'Fiona. In other words, Abel's father, whom he'd vowed revenge on, although having cryptically told Dan it was "no longer an option," was killed by Dan's father's first wife, Alexis's mother; bear in mind also that Dan's mother was a bitter former lover of Abel's father.
Earlier, "Destania must be so proud to have an incubus like you for a son!"
"Jyrras... known Dan since childhood... came to rescue him... have had a slight crush on him since..."
What the Hell, Hero?: Abel calling out Dan on not staying at SAIA to train properly, pointing out that not learning to control his 'Cubi powers made it more likely that he'd lose control and truly become the menace he feared.
Abel gets one himself in his sidestory, when Aaryana spells out to him that he could've easily defeated Aniz (and, possibly, saved his mother) if he had actually taken advantage of what he's learned at SAIA, but instead he chose to seclude himself and be a brooding loner.
And now Destania's getting in on it too, reminding Abel of just how many people have died or otherwise had their lives ruined because of him.
Writer Revolt: This strip. It's played for laughs, but Amber is definitely making a (valid) point.
Yaoi Fangirl: Wildy, originator of the idea of "Death by Shonen-ai."
Dan: I don't think I can kill him... or want to anymore...
You Never Asked: During the all All Hail Queen Mab story arc, it is revealed Mab has a daughter. When questioned about it by Jyrras, she simply responds "No one ever asked."
Your Soul Is Mine: Cubi have a reputation for killing people and eating their souls. It's somewhat deserved.
Zombie Apocalypse: The Big Bad Dark Pegasus tried to trigger one in the Backstory, but the zombies turned out to be just too nice to work for him. Even the method of transmission is Lighter and Softer: bites and scratches infect you with The Virus, but it stays in remission unless you die before it wears off, which it does quickly, and the bites and scratches aren't any more likely to be fatal than any other injury. The zombies show up once in a while, although they mostly keep to themselves. They do have a representative on the Creature council though.
And nonetheless there's Fantastic Racism towards them for fear of this, and from the aforementioned Big Bad, for the exact opposite reason. Plus they keep trying to turn him into an undead to take his place as their leader. He's not too thrilled at the idea, unsurprisingly.
