I think there is more to come

Post by Murph »

I think there is more to come, especially based on this: https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/imag ... kiss04.jpg I think was there was some foreshadowing here. I think Beryl is interested in experiencing human interaction.

I think people are conflating a diplomatic situation/'being-stranded-in-a-steel-coffin-behind-enemy-lines' with a sleepover.
As I recall, president Obama didn't consummate his meeting with prime minister Netanyahu with a pillow fight and a blow job, and I'm not sure getting shelled by the egyptians during his visit would have encouraged such behavior.

If a young BB was on the shuttle, I think the Loroi present would have already been seduced, lol.

I dunno, he looks like Beaker but with a lopsided face. At a time and among a people with their level of biological knowledge, do you really think such genetically unhealthy people wouldn't have been fixed? Unless it's the image that's jacked up.

Sorry for my ignorance, I don't recognize the face, and BB is more associated with a female actress for me.
Who is that?

Also, the way he looks on that photo makes me believe he would have aswered Beryl's question differently than Alex.....

Ah, thanks.
I only know images of the current look of Mr. Netanyahu, but my face recognition algorithms are poor anyway...

But then, why "BB"?
Is that a common abbreviation for him in Israel?

edit: google it... Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyaju...
Now I see...
Still, the person abbreviated as "BB" I think of first is also known for her "DD"...

This seems to be a running theme with many folks posting here, which is why I've pulled back a bit from participating. There are probably better places to find blue elf porn anyway. As long as it doesn't creep into the story as some fan service, I'll survive. But it does take some enjoyment away from the forum, IMO. Besides, I recall that particular image (Beryl/Alex) as a commission, not any sort of Outsider universe canon.

Lets admit it, we all are (or should be) human beings. Human beings are silly. Humans that want to entertain themselves will think silly thoughts. One of those silly thoughts is imagining good looking people getting along all lovey dovey. One other silly thought is a paraphrase of Zapp Brannigan: If there is one thing that man has dreamt off since looking up the sky that is making out with a hot alien babe.

Blame Futurama but it's Alex's duty to fulfill this most ancient of dreams within the hearts of men.

I don't think "we're all just base animals so lets rut in the mud like degenerates" is the natural state of mind, at least not in my people.
It's bad enough that this lewd comic has already indulged in the hedonistic practice of hand-holding between members of the opposite sex, rather than the superior gentlemanly endeavor of walking arm in arm down market street discussing the finer points of architecture, but now I have spotted naked calves as well. Very improper.

Yeah. I like to see the cultural interaction. If I wanted ... other stuff, I think there are other websites for that.

As someone put it elsewhere in the forums, “I hope he’s gay.” I hope he’s gay, or ace (asexual) or in a committed relationship or took a virginity pledge or something. That’ll give the loroi a learning experience.

We know of Alex he's neither gay, nor took a virginity pledge.
Ellen was more than just a friend, but they were also not in a commited relationship.

I don't think that's confirmed in the comic or by Arioch, some fanfics have dwelled on it.

Oh, sorry. My bad. Must've mixed something up in my mind.

But we do know from Arioch, that this comic will not turn "that" way.
He will neither show nor hint at inter-species physical relationships.
(Which is one of the reasons why I continue reading, an important one.
If I would want to be reading smut, I w/could find better suited comics in these interwebs.)

Smut no. But as the story develops would I mind seeing Beryl learn to admire, respect even perhaps develop feelings of genuine affection for Alex because of his intellect, charm and heroic actions to protect his race and help the Loroi survive the onslaught of an implacable enemy when less courageous or self-serving actions might protect himself or his race in the short-term?
You bet! As long as its a two-way growth of mutal developed affection supported by a growing relationship based upon deeds and a growing closeness.

Romance is not a BAD thing in space opera, if its approached with a maturity and good story and character development.

There is a difference between romance and smut and this comic is nowhere near, nor likely to get close to that line. That does not mean that deeper relationships and the like could not form or happen.
