Grrl Power #1192 – Cornhole-quan-do
Sydney’s ADHD is such that she can’t even stay on topic when she’s mad at someone. Well, sometimes she can, but the finger-in-the-butt tactic for dogs begs discussion about extended tactical options.
Honestly, a lot of movie fight scenes are fairly boring because they’re all so similar. Two guys slugging it out is forgettable because we’ve all seen it a thousand times. The only things that stand out are unusual moves. That’s why the fight in They Live was so memorable because it was a scuffle, not two guys throwing punches six inches over the other guy’s head. (That’s another thing that bugs me about fight scenes, but I digress.) It’s why John Wick and his point blank gunplay is memorable, why Ong Bak was memorable. Nobody throws elbows in Hollywood films. It’s also why almost everything Jackie Chan did was memorable. Yeah, he punched and kicked, but he also launched wooden clogs at people and fought drunk and grabbed dudes by their ties and dove through ladders and fought with those short Chinese benches. For the love of god, don’t let Jackie Chan near a short Chinese bench during a fight. I couldn’t find a better fight with a bench on youtube, so here’s an actual good fight sans bench. (BTW, pay attention to the fact that there are extras lying unconscious around that scene trying not to flinch while those two go ham five feet from them. They’re the real heroes.)
And just for fun, here’s the awesome fight against his own bodyguard Ken Lo in Drunken Master 2. Which as it happens does have an unusual chin to the eyeball move. Honestly, with just the right amount of stubble, that could be a crippling move. You almost never see eye-gouging, probably because it’s viewed as a dishonorable tactic, so you don’t want the protagonist doing it, and you don’t get the antag doing it because you don’t want the protag getting blinded.
Understand I’m not advocating for more fingers in the butts during hollywood fight scenes specifically. But… it would be pretty fucking memorable.
The new one is coming. I want to do a little add-on comic for it and it’ll be ready.
The July vote incentive is up! There was a disagreement about digitigrade and plantigrade leg configurations. What better way to resolve it than a race?
And in the Patreon variant, what better way to resolve it than a nude race? You know, to eliminate uh… wind drag I guess?

"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Always bet on the guy in the kung fu movies who’s NOT wearing a 3 piece suit with suspenders ,bow tie and dress shoes. seems very limiting to your movements when fighting.
Van Dammage wore all three in “No Retreat, No Surrender” (or maybe it was just the suit and shoes, can’t remember if he wore a bowtie or suspenders… )
《Thinking …》
I can understand how that kind of attire could restrict ones movements (except for the bowtie 《eye·roll》).
Good thing their are (or use to be) people called ‘tailors’ who can make almost any piece of clothing fit correctly for any possible movement, and fabrics that can help with said movement
Can remember a book where the female protagonist had some kind of stretchy fabric sewn in to her inseam to allow her greater freedom of movement to perform kicks and stuff
Parfait’s lucky it’s been a long time since dinner. She’d need an eyepatch, or possibly a Dabbler-brand robot eye.
It burns would be only the start of the pain.
Sydney wouldn’t have even needed to make physical contact to stop Parfait! Just breathing at her would have been enough!
Considering the redness in her eye as she’s recovering from the lick, Sydney’s dinner might still have a lingering sting.
Speaking from personal experience using ghost pepper sauce as a cooking ingredient, yeah, this tracks. Some spice *lingers.*
I mean, yeah. Sticking a finger in an attacker’s butt might be enough to get them freaked out enough to back off of you. There’s absolutely no way it would be effective in getting a succubus to stop trying to have sex with you. I’m frankly a little surprised the eyeball lick was.
My guess is because the eyeball lick both isn’t a thing any compatible species would do romantically, and had zero sexy intent behind it. Something like a butt finger may hit the right nerve endings for Parfait and keep her going because of the attention, but with better self control she would probably be able to say “Wait, this isn’t feeding me that tasty sustenance it usually is…”
Actually, licking eyeballs is a kink with some human beings. Very boutique one, but it exists.
I think the eyeball lick is because just about every species has very strong instincts related to protecting their eyes, and because while eyeball “are” bundles of nerves, those nerves are almost entirely related to either function or pain / damage detection.
… Including reptiles who regularly lick their own eyeballs?
only some of them lick their own eyes, and the ones that do usually do so cause they don’t have eyelids, so they have to improvise to keep the eyeball clean.
Kakashi Sensei furiously taking notes.
I am embarrassed to say 1,000-years-of-pain was NOT my first thought when I read this.
Parfait is SO lucky Halo hadn’t eaten a bowl of spicy noodles before that
still some effect though, her eye is redding up
She still is probably going to need at least succubus brand of antibiotic or penicillin. Human mouths are disgusting even when you use mouthwash and brush every day.
considering they are immune to stds and can even cure some of them if they sleep with the person that has it. I would say she’s good on her immune system. unless it only guards against the stds…… now I feel like I need more info on succubi immune systems.
Sounds like a call for the chastity belt from “Robin Hood: Men In Tights”
And in 200 comics down the line, we learn that Parfait ended up enjoying this particular distraction later on.
That, or Dabbler mentions some other species, or just one person, that is into it. There’s bound to be one out there.
Yeah, reptiles, you know, the ones actually running this planet?
This has me wondering if Dabbler isn’t going to recommend Sydney for the potential master list. “Shut down a runway lust aura without harm to the succubus” is probably a major resume builder for that.
Hmm…I suspect it might be more like “emergency contact in case of immediate need for a safe, temporary holder.”
I don’t think Sydles is really wired for a permanent succ U thing.
Being a master requires her to have regular sex with Parfait though, according to Dabbler. And Sydney seems to be decidedly hetersexual in her preferences from what we have seen in the webcomic.
Oh wow. So, on the one hand, Syd’s clearly just been on the receiving end of non-consentual sex (or attempted sex). On the other hand it seems clear to me Parfait was also not fully consenting either. She lost control and wasn’t in full control of her actions. She did try to end the situation by calling for the potion unaware that Syd didn’t have one and it seems clear that, now that she’s back in control of herself (presumably) she doesn’t intend to continue the actions. The correct solution here seems likely to be a reprimand and to require not only the presence of sleep potions or something similar, but for all future summonings to require prior approval (which would necessitate the presence of said potions) and possibly a chaparone.
It could be argued that all three of Sydney, Parfait, and Gwen were responsible for this incident as well. Sydney is responsible for the summoning of a succubus after all and didn’t have precautions in place. Parfait unleashed her lust aura (even if it wasn’t intentional). Gwen supplied the mana and should have known better and provided both warnings and at least knowledge of said potion.
On the plus side there’s, presumably, no serious harm. Though, hopefully, we won’t be seeing a minor baby boom in nine months time among whoever was in the radius.
You re assuming Gwen even knows about succubae enough to give those warnings or supply potions
Gwen is still a trainee when it comes to magic
She seemed goood enough on the fine details of summoning succubae. Admittedly, she could have applied general knowledge about summoning magic to the specific case of the circle Syd drew, while lacking sufficient expertise on the other necessary precautions when dealing with a young and untrained succubus.
Also remember that Dabbler is a teammember and basically their number 2 behind Maxima. Gwen is the assistant to the head of ArcLight. Knowing stuff about succubus and Dabbler would be part of her job. If she didn’t know…
I’m not trying to throw Gwen under a bus here. At best her role is only minor. I’m just saying she’s probably not going to be off the hook.
If Gwen hasn’t been read-in on succubi, then that needs to be fixed and whoever made that decision should be on the hook.
It’s one thing to know they exist, totally another to know their finer biological needs
Is it conceivable that while Parfait might not be as powerful as, say, Dabbler or Decolette, her Lust Aura is more raw and “scatter blastery” than a fully trained Succubus, and that’s why it was having the effect it did?
Possibly. However, during the Restaurant Brawl Dabbler not so subtly hinted that she could have done the same thing Vehemence did, if they had been tapping a different kind of energy.
Vehemence could selectively exclude some people from his Aura, but it was otherwise huge and scatter-blastery.
It is possible that Parfait, being very young and in need of advance education still (finishing school does not exactly finish your education these days), could not selectively exclude some of the people caught in her aura. But regardless, neither Vehemence’s, Dabbler’s nor Parfait’s aura seems to be particularly subtle.
Is that a cameo of Astarion in panel 6? O_o;;;
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT!!
That’s what I was thinking! How come no one had mentioned it???
… Haven’t found the first page of comments then… or the second
Certainly looks like him, I agree. ^_^
Just had me a showerthought.
I know it’s a long shot but sweet buttf***ing jeebus I really hope this whole thing isn’t solved by Dabbler nailing everyone with her memory erasing spell hammer (“b-but it doesn’t delete them, just makes them fuzzy!”). That would be horrifying.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-310-dabblers-happiest-meal/comment-page-1/
We know that succubus sorcerers developed that spell to prevent their casual partners from being driven to deem subsequent sex with non-succubae lacking, boring, and unsatisfactory in the comparison. It gets used on a voulntary basis. I suppose that Dabbler might be willing to use it for the subjects of the incident that are aware of the possibility and willing, but I struggle to think of someone that would qualify. Sydney almost surely not, and so the other members of the main cast that were affected.
You know, i read Andre the Giant used to do that while wrestling just to mess with the other wrestlers. His fingers were bigger around than an egg…
It’s actually a commonly taught move for wrestling, which doesn’t help the perception of wrestling as a “gay” sport.
Is it weird for me to want(need) in the wrap up of the “parfait aura incident” for Sydney to say something to the effect of “…and people [say I’m dangerous]/[call me a nuisance]”?
Maybe I’m just coming from a different set of life experiences but the Sydney /Parfait interaction reads like a couple of youngsters early in their first intimate relationship. While the lust aura affected Sydney she may have also been into it at least a little. But then it got uncomfortable. It’s not rape but it still calls for assertively setting a boundary. Sydney is correct in escalating her objection to get Parfait’s attention, but jumping straight in to call it rape seems over the top.
Yeah being “into it” doesn’t actually matter, they didn’t discuss the subject and consent to that kind of intimacy first so that’s borderline rape and the life experiences you’re referring to were also cases of borderline or actual rape. :/
No offense but going for some therapy related to that might be a good idea if you’re having a hard time distinguishing intimacy from rapist behaviour.
How lucky that there are still lots of people out there that understand and are OK with dating, romance, and sex often calling for consent to be established and boundaries to be managed on the fly in the context of an intimate encounter, not necessarily through the lawyerly negotiation suitable for agreeing to a business contract or surgery.
>No offense but going for some therapy related to that might be a good idea if you’re having a hard time distinguishing intimacy from rapist behaviour.
Sure, let’s send people to the radical-feminist re-education camps to brainwash them into believing that dating, romance, and sex always need a duly-notarized, 10-page form extensively discussed and filled in triplicate, with a couple witnesses.
I might suggest that this amount of rape paranoia by itself seems to call for some therapy, but I know this is as likely to be ideology as much as personal issues if not more so. Therefore, I keep praying that I shall always be able to recognize the people that subscirbe to it and shun them or keep them at arm’s length.
How about you just don’t try initiating dating, romance, or sex without asking the other person if they even want to do those things with you?
I know I sure don’t after this rant of yours.
Because we are not mind readers, it is impossible to know who may or may not be interested in such things without making a honest and polite attempt at courtship. Rest assured, I am not any interested in interacting with those who are prone to interpret that as a threat if I can avoid it. Heck, putting aside the dating stuff, I rather prefer not to deal with people who are prone to take friendliness, being effusive, and physical contact in the worst of ways if I can avoid it.
Yeah, this is Jorbless Peterpoppins wailing “we don’t know the rules,” because it was suggested that unwanted advances aren’t okay.
I’ll break it down to preschool level for you.
Use. Your. Words.
“Hey, ah, I wondering if you might be interested in going out some night? Dinner & movie, maybe? Or dancing?”
I know this may seem like some bizarre, arcane ritual, but please trust me when I say that just asking works really well. You don’t need to be a mind-reader. Just ask.
He did say “honest and polite attempt at courtship”, but I suspect the conflict is in what falls into which category.
Yet, he phrased it as if that was somehow different than ‘just asking’ (from the post he was replying to).
Yeah this Irioth fucker sounds like he either won’t bother asking or won’t take no for an answer, and thinks he can touch strangers wherever the fuck he likes without asking first.
Seriously fuck off Irioth.
>Sure, let’s send people to the radical-feminist re-education camps to brainwash them into believing that dating, romance, and sex always need a duly-notarized, 10-page form extensively discussed and filled in triplicate, with a couple witnesses.
Wut.
Someone hit a very sensitive nerve or twenty.
>Wut.
Exaggeration for emphasis. Simply put, take Demolition Man. I absolutely refuse to live in Raymond Cocteau’s world or anything resembling it too much. Our current political and cultural trends are already drifting far too close to it for my comfort. If it really threatens to, I’d rather be one of Edgar Friendly’s crew, come what may.
See, if you ever wonder when people stopped taking you seriously, you can point to when you compared asking for consent to a pent-up repressed oppressive fictional dystopia.
Don’t move the goalposts. What I am arguing against is the lawyerly call to ‘discuss’ everything beforehand or otherwise it’s (borderline) rape. What I defend is the necessary flexibility and spontaneity for the pursuit of consent in activities like courtship, dating, romance, sex, or even just friendliness.
The DM issue is another thing. It is the broad model for the outcome I fear society may be headed to, if the bid for dominance of cancel culture continues unchecked. Sci-fi fiction oftentimes provides good models of the potential effects of dystopic social trends, of course with the exaggeration that is intrinsec in the genre.
Yeah, who wants to live in a society where the only place to eat is a McDonald’s (or whatever they retconned it to be), and the only music is some crappy ad jingles?
Don’t get me started on those damn sea-shells…
Taco Bell!
Do…do you not know how to use the seashells? <_<‘
Its a great mystery that had haunted us for decades.
Man, I really thought everyone had been read in on this by now, but…okay, sport, here ya go.

*points and laughs* :)
This is some Jorblox Peterpooper level histrionics.
You seem upset at the idea of treating consent like a contract… and yet you’re the one insisting that it is like a contract when other people are telling you that it isn’t.
Consent isn’t permission, isn’t a contract, and yes, is established and managed on the fly. It’s a person’s internal state, their willingness to engage in a particular activity, for whatever reason, which can be communicated verbally or non-verbally. Someone may be consenting, and then stop consenting. They have no obligation to continue. Expressing consent one moment does not bind them in the future. And once they express that they no longer consent, the other party is obligated to stop engaging.
Yeah, do that enough times, and see how many people will even talk to you
I just need to get a clarification on this: So deciding you want to stop sexy-times after they have started, because you’ve changed your mind, is, in your opinion, cause for becoming a social pariah?
That sound weirdly like a threat.
>Consent isn’t permission,
Except from an external perspective, it works just like that. Yes, it also means it can be revoked.
>Expressing consent one moment does not bind them in the future.
Yes, with the caveat that making a deal or promise about it binds you just like it does in different circumstances. Nobody likes a deal-breaker and ‘I changed my mind’ is not a good excuse for being dishonest.
Safeword = Escape Clause?
Consent IS permission. That is what the word means but it’s sort of irrelevant here anyway.
Dictionary Definition:
Consent – to permit, approve, or agree; permission for something to happen or agreement to do something
Legal Definition:
Consent – Consent means that a person voluntarily and willfully agrees in response to another person’s proposition. The person who consents must possess sufficient mental capacity. Consent also requires the absence of coercion, fraud or error. Consent is an essential constituent of a contract and a defense to a tort. However, consent is generally not a defense to criminal charges, with the exception of rape and sexual assault. In cases of rape and sexual assault, someone’s consent is not their true intent if they are under duress or fear, and can be divided into express and implied consent. Express consent is the consent given directly, either verbally or in writing. Implied consent is the consent that can be inferred by actions, signs or facts, or even by inaction or silence.
Sydney licking Parfait’s eyeball after yelling at Parfait to stop definitely shows a lack of consent, but the main problem with this scenario has been Parfait’s mens rea (guilty intent to commit a crime), not the consent angle by Sydney (or anyone else affected by her lust aura in the building).
I concur that the mens rea aspect muddies this horribly. The issue is that human language in the real world has no term to describe a situation that really can only occur in fiction.
The closest parallel I can think of would be a woman under duress (say, a hostage situation), forced to approach and seduce a man. She is having sex against her will, but her partner, who is clueless about the situation, is not a rapist; I would argue that the person placing her under duress is, even if he does not actually have sex with her at all.
Of course, here, we have a situation where there is no person consciously pushing this conduct. Rather, it’s a natural state of being for a succubus. Thus the ‘rapist’ in this scenario is the biological fact of succubus existence. In such a case, a new term of law would be needed, to address the failure to prevent this occurrence.
It would be perfectly reasonable for the US and other human nations to pass a law that ALL succubi be required to wear some sort of restraint that negates the effects of their auras while in their respective jurisdictions, with limits on when, where and under what circumstances they can be removed. While waiting for such a law, ARCHON’s high command should immediately issue such an order for any succubi on their payroll or in their facilities (so, Dabbler would always have to be so restrained, and Decollete would have to wear such a device while visiting ARCHON HQ, as would Parfait).
If they fail to do so, then they will be responsible for any future incidents that might occur, and should be held liable, up to and including courts martial and expulsion. I’m inclined to say that high command is already responsible for this incident, as well; they were aware that succubi can have mind-altering effects, yet failed to do their due diligence, or they would have already known that this power can become uncontrollable by the individual succubus.
“If they fail to do so, then they will be responsible for any future incidents that might occur, and should be held liable, up to and including courts martial and expulsion.”
Yep! That would create the otherwise EXTREMELY unusual situation of a criminal law involving negligence as an element for a sexual assault/rape, but it does seem like something that legislators in the Grrlpower Universe would have to work on writing up, now that demons and succubi (as well as aliens and supers, who could also possibly fall under similar situations depending on their powers/biological abilities) are accepted realities in that universe among the population of Earth. Although it would only be applicable to any future occurrences, not this current one with Parfait, since criminal charges cannot be applied retroactively, prior to their being laws.
Well, the solution you suggest seems too draconian and likely to create serious diplomatic trouble since a significant risk of loss of control only seems to exist for young and untrained succubae. In all evidence, adult and expert ones such as Dabbler and Decollete are in full control of their powers at all times, including the most stressful situations such as lethal combat. Therefore, the restraint you suggest seems too unfair and burdensome a requirement for them. In their case, the appropriate safeguard seems a certification by an appropriate body (e.g. Archon, the Twilight Council, the Matriarch Council, or a succubus finishing school) that the individual met the training requirements.
A magical restraint or alternatively availability of adequate emergency treatment (such as the sleep potion Parfait asked for) by a chaperone qualified to administer it seems called for only in the case of young and untrained succubae such as Parfait (and Tamatha too in the near future, although at present she likely is so young she has not yet manifested her full powers).
Moreover, this does not extempt Archon from the need to establish its own area-wide defenses from hostiles with aura attacks.
This assumes that ARCHON and the US govt’s understanding of Succubi is even as complete as the readers’ (which is, in turn, far deficient in comparison to the author’s). ARCHON doesn’t really get to read the Q&A strips, after all. And they would only have a limited understanding of this incident, right now. And their only real source of intel on succubi would appear to be… other succubi. That’s not exactly an iron-clad source, given that succubi are, by their own admission, originally created as spies and assassins.
From the PoV of ARCHON’s command, they’ve just learned of a massive liability. The initial reaction might, in time, but able to be moderated, but given what they seem to know currently, anything less than an absolute lockdown on the threat posed by demonic auras would be negligent in the extreme.
> Of course, here, we have a situation where there is no person consciously pushing this conduct. Rather, it’s a natural state of being for a succubus. Thus the ‘rapist’ in this scenario is the biological fact of succubus existence.
This is further muddied by the fact that there is someone who is responsible for this biological fact: The long dead mage(s) involved in the creation of succubi who decided to build this feature into their artificial servant race.
I suspect that a “restraining device” of that type wouldn’t exist in the Grrlpower universe, because DaveB stated at one point that he doesn’t particularly like that as a plot device. I also think such a law would seem a bit dystopian for the tone he’s trying to set, where he’s assuming powerful people don’t need to be preemptively registered or restrained. It’s not illegal to have superpowers, and anything that is already illegal is still just as illegal if you have them as it is if you don’t. So there’s a presumption of trust in the setting.
This storyline certainly would be an opportune time to address the question of accidental harm or uncontrolled super powers, and how they intend to handle it going forwards.
My impression was that there were no generic power dampers for supers. Other beings might still have their natural powers suppressable.
For example, we know that mages can be disabled by draining their mana.
Could be the same for succubi, if their aura require mana to build.
If this doesn’t work, it’s still a specific, magic effect – might well be able to build a magic item that can counter it, by putting up a frigidity aura or something like that.
This. Generic power-dampers and specific counter-magics are two separate things.
You’re making a mechanical argument. I’m making a narrative one. My impression is that the author doesn’t like “black box” solutions, he likes to have an explanation on how exactly the thing works.
Except Parfait just violated that presumption of trust, by displaying an extreme lack of control over her powers.
Controlled powers are one thing. And for the most part, from what we’ve seen in the GP universe, powers are controlled almost immediately after acquisition–you get one or two startled reflex reactions, and from that point on, you’re good. So the trust-first attitude makes sesne.
This incident is light-years from that, though. This is a case of an extra-terrestrial species that has, as an innate aspect of its biology, an innate inability to NOT affect others with a lust-aura. And judging by how flat-footed everyone was caught by this, it’s clear that the command structure had no idea of any of the risks here. So, yes, the initial response is very likely to be draconian, and arguably should be, until they can narrow down the risk factors involved.
I’m a little surprised DaveB introduced an uncontrolled power like that, because it does open the door to upending his rather unrealistically optimistic perspective. What do you do with someone who can unintentionally cause significant damage, for which there may not be appropriate safeguards? But it’s certainly a question worth tackling.
But it boils down to: you can’t give consent under the influence. Succubi are like a psychic roofie.
And I acknowledge there are all kinds of levels and subtleties to this, like both partners being under the influence, “consensual non-consent”, yada yada. And the longer people have been together and actively partnering, the more consent is taken as a given unless specifically called out. But even a partner who seems to consent at first can withdraw that consent when they “sober up”, as Sydney did. Especially when it’s their first time and she doesn’t have the knowledge or experience and never gave consent in the first place.
Is it me… or is Sydney getting cuter?
I think the succubus might be affecting you. And me.
I recall seeing a fight (Kevin Spencer, S3E1 “Homeward Bound”) wherein a death match was won when the titular protagonist shoved his hands up a pair of monkey’s backsides and aimed their enraged and panicked state upon a much larger man whom he would not have been able to beat even with his normal sociopathic lack of restraint.
As the announcer stated, “You’ll probably go your whole life and not see that again, folks”. Even though the death took place off-screen, it was memorable and unforgettable.
Bruce Lee did good fights, if only because of the sheer skill displayed, and having the use of weapons. And, you know, how dang GOOD he was at it.
Completely unrelated, apparently they think they got the guy who shot Tupac. 0_0’
Apparently!
Damn, Parfait. You’re good at what you do.
Pretty much everyone else who was involved has died off.
Combs is still alive. Seems Keefe is gonna finger him for putting out the hit.
Well, hopefully. The family’s been left hanging for long enough.
I know for a fact that licking an eyeball is not painful. had a friend that would get something out of your eye by licking it. strange I know, but it worked really well.
Credit where credit is due, not many people can fight off a succubus in full …ummm …. “automatic internal response”. Parfait going full blast, setting everyone in the area off, just means a good time was had by those people, since they could choose their form of release. For Sydney, she actually fought off a full blast succubus lust power. (Yes, I am sure a fully trained succubus would be harder to “shrug off”, but the same power is at play)
I wonder if Arianna’s booycall made it to the building before this lust aura gets broken.
panel 5 right hand guy in the funky shirt. isn’t that one of the characters for Baldur’s gate 3?
Moreover, it was Sydney that brought Parfait into what was supposed to be a secure facility. Parfait is in multiple ways an attractive nuisance. Most of the personnel were not expecting random succubus lust auras to be a thing they’d encounter that night. As the person who set up all of this, Sydney could be the one in trouble.
Dabbler has mentioned that succubi have very broad ideas about what are acceptable tastes.
Here’s a random thought. What if Parfait really… didn’t do anything wrong? What if someone else did something to intentionally set her off and make her lose control?
Someone like… Tom? Under instruction from a certain President Douche Ferret?
Nah, El Presidouchey would never do something so underhanded…
*shrug* I dunno. It was just a random thought. Parfait seemed to be in control for a while so the thought occurred that, maybe, someone else saw her and took the chance to cause some chaos and set her off. I suppose it wouldn’t be TOO hard to do, all things considered, just a decent enough spike in vitamin T. So, I dunno, maybe she really isn’t the one at fault?
WHatever you think of Tom, he has always seemed to be good about his master/slave relationship, according to Dabbler, and doesnt seem to do that sort of manipulation with the succubi bound to him. He also seems to be proud of when Parfait learns how to CONTROL her powers (just like Dabbler is proud of it, like when she used her boob hypnotism thing) – he’s not someone who would want her to slide BACKWARDS in her control of her powers.
I think Tom is too nice to do something like that. Dabbler wouldn’t like him is he wasn’t.
Note how mentioned “under instruction”, meaning, if (and that’s a tiny ‘if’) he did, it wouldn’t have been willingly (not if he knew what would happen) but being tricked or forced is something that has already been established as MO for El Presidouché
Ummm…It seems like it took Sydney a while to regain her own composure, maybe because she was already at “ground zero” for Parfait’s aura. Not only is there a distinct lack of clothing on both of them but Sydney is already densely covered with the kind of markings that seem consistent with people who were attacked with octopus tentacles.
I mean sure, Parfait is likely to have been wearing lipstick but there shouldn’t have been enough of it on her lips to leave *that many* marks; Mind the fact that DaveB isn’t even showing us a lot of Sydney’s surface area either. So many markings would mean either Sydney took her own sweet time to stop Partfait (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) or Parfait must be *really fast* with her lips.
…And I need a cold shower, but that’s beside the point…
In 2007, when Adam Warren wrote the first encounter between Ocelotina and Empowered, he said that the goal was pretty much the standard “two cute girls”.
By 2016, he had recognized the whole thing as a wildly terrible “Bad Touch” incident. He also said that he seriously considered not reprinting the story at all and that he only went ahead because a couple supporting characters get introduced. Still, it’s a story that he deeply regrets doing and it’s not one that he would do again today.
I kinda feel like DaveB is going to feel the same about this particular storyline in 9 years as well.
Still, if it serves no other useful purpose, it has revealed which of the commenters couldn’t be trusted with an uncovered drink in a bar.
Summon a succubus, you get the horn.
She has 2 boyfriends already, half of uber nerd, and counting woof as 1.5.
It’s not sex, without a vial of Organ Scooch, in stores now! Organ Scooch, mount that hog!
Organ Scooch, when your Hampster needs a banana. Organ Scooch! At your local CVS and Walgreens.
Bruised cervix? Battered lung? Put that in the past…hell, put that anywhere! Organ Scooch!
Took me a couple repeat viewings to spot the purple kisses all over Halo–nice touch. :D From the look of things, seems like Parfait didn’t get a chance to go /too/ far, even if neither of their tops survived…
