Dreamwalk Journal: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

* ''[http://theduckwebcomics.com/NIGHTSHADE_THE_MERRY_WIDOW/ Nightshade the Merry Widow]'' on The Duck (adult login required due to NSFW content): '''No longer updating''' as of April 2016. Archive links still work.

* ''Nightshade the Merry Widow'' on ComicFury: Now the main site, no direct links due to NSFW content

* nightshadesweb on Tumblr: ''Nightshade the Merry Widow'' archive blog (ditto).

Now has a fledgeling [[Dreamwalk Journal/Characters|Characters]] page.

Line 25:

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The original site also featured "Danny's Journal", which gave a lot of background to the characters and events. As of November 2014 there are plans to repost it. There was also a page on Cyeatean anatomy, which was intended to be the first of a series called "What the Hell is That?", but ended up being the only one. Kline later revived "What the Hell is That?" as a Q&A feature on ''Nightshade'', alternating with story strips.

* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Justified by all the different species. Between them they display all the colors of terrestrial insects and spiders, and more besides.

* [[Ape Shall Never Kill Ape]]: Killing non-sentient species is justified as long as it's in self-defense. When it comes to sentients, the rules of the "great game" of life mean that predators can 'steal' nourishment from their prey while screwing them senseless, but causing injury or death is unthinkable. In ''Nightshade'' it's stated that murder and (painless) execution do sometimes occur, but extremely rarely.

* [[Arc Words]]: "Good Hunting".

Line 59:

* [[Genetic Adaptation]]: Although never stated directly, it's heavily implied that this is how Cyeatea's arthropod hybrids originated.

* [[Giant Eye of Doom]]: The [[Living Ship]] encountered by some of the deep-realm rescue party in ''Nightshade'' has an absolutely ''humongous'' eye. And it knows what they are.

* [[Go Mad ~~From~~ the Revelation]]: In ''Nightshade's'' deep-realm rescue story, this appears to happen to bee queen Leonurus after witnessing a violent attack by some of the nasty critters that live in the depths, though it's probably more a case of shell-shock. Cyeateans (with a few notable exceptions) really aren't psychologically equipped to handle violence at all. It's later revealed that she recovers after a healing draught and a little hypnotherapy.

* [[Heli Critter]]: Cyeatean dragonflies are roughly the size of ''ocean liners'' and fly using genuine helicopter-style rotor blades. (The blades also chop up any vegetation they come into contact with, producing a salad rain for critters in the lower levels). At one point the protagonists hitch a ride in a cavity in a dragonfly's head.

** One image by Kline (not appearing on the main comic site) shows Danny and Fleur riding much smaller dragonflies (intelligence level not established) which also have helicopter-like rotors.
