Author Notes:
Obvious The Princess Bride reference is obvious. I just thought that it fits so well to Commander Rothemd's daughter. I got this idea from the answer I gave to a comment over here.
Furthermore, I thought that a flash-forward to the year 2030 would be fitting for New Year's Eve.
Note however, that this explicitly just a possible future. Sure, the thought of revisiting this scene in ten years (which would also provide that I am still doing Cryptida or at least spin-off by then) is kinda cool - but I don't want a to restrict my story-telling options all too much.
(Also it's probably not the same future as mentioned here. Dr. Deacon's future is more of an apocalyptic
one rather than a cyberpunk one.)
User comments:
Happy new year, dude. \o/
And happy new year to you too. :-)
Does it feed her a steady drip of delectable memes?...I deliberately leave open for now, in order to leave room for future story developments. ;-)
(I just needed a visual indicator that she has physically changed in the ten years between now and 2030 - and I already gave Selene the grey tuft of hair...)
One thing about Deacon's future there. It, too, is only one possibility... :)
(E.g. I still had no clue whom Cooke was talking about in the comments over here!)
Also, I was as surprised as you probably were, when I saw Deacon in lirv's guest comic...
