You know?, it's funny but (unlike somebody else) I like the super-massive physical aspect in this character.
It's by no means my default desire, but many tastes & flavours make up the World and Xenophilia keeps things 'interesting', to say the least...
I like that shes buff & scary and yet comes across as a bit of a girly-girl at the same time...

She said the bad "D" word! She's REALLY peeved off now!
Re: Let It Out 2017-03-02
Considering all the races/species of the various "mythical" people, I'm just wondering how they all keep going. Yes, some of them are created in non-sexual manners, but lots of them do it the old-fashioned way, and that requires a large enough population to maintain a viable breeding stock.

Heh. In Lois Bujold's novel Komarr, Miles Vorkosigan and a Vor lady (eventually to be his wife, a book or two later) fall off a low bridge into a rather muddy pond.
She says (with feeling) "Drat!"
Miles says "Is it possible you're a touch over-socialised?"

Breeding population size depends on how well their genetics can handle inbreeding. For humans, the minimum breeding population (assuming for mostly monogamy) to maintain healthy genetic diversity, there should be 200 unrelated individuals in a 50:50 m:f split. That'd last for at least 10 or so generations.Thor wrote:Considering all the races/species of the various "mythical" people, I'm just wondering how they all keep going.

EDITED to add some specifics I forgot to mention.

Vaguely remember a Star Trek NG episode where two somewhat related colonies had to merge. One was of technological clones, the other an agrarian society. The genetic variance solution was something like every woman had 5 husbands, every man had 3 wives, and crank out at least 8 children, for the next six generations. Something like that.Gyrrakavian wrote:Breeding population size depends on how well their genetics can handle inbreeding.

Boy, just think of keeping all the birthday and anniversary cards straight!

I imagine it could even keep track of each individual's genome, and rate the risk of any given pairing resulting in a lethal or crippling generic illness in any children born to the couple. Or, perhaps, resulting in a child whose very nature could tear down Civilization itself.

This reminds me of an MLP: FIM Episode, where Rainbow Dash was coaching Fluttershy on how to "cheer".
Re: Let It Out 2017-03-02
I think your memory is on-target. Paul had posted this strip on his Patreon page yesterday afternoon, with the title comment "Oh, Fluttershy."ziggy78eog wrote:This reminds me of an MLP: FIM Episode, where Rainbow Dash was coaching Fluttershy on how to "cheer".
Re: Let It Out 2017-03-02
I thought the exact same thing.

Re: Let It Out 2017-03-02
I've always found ST approach to genetics terribly flawed. With the technology at their disposal, identifying and fixing genetic problems should be easy, even if they only had 2 people to start with.Dave wrote:"There's an app for that."

Re: Let It Out 2017-03-02
Yeah, but they had a lot of restrictions against that, because of the gene wars. Remember Khan? That's why they won't take any chances.
(Though I have no idea if they fix genetic diseases on the fly.)
