Grrl Power #838 – I’ll have the wedg(i)e salad
Yes, I drew Dabbler’s long tongue thrashing around all over Anvil’s cleavage. They’re not directly interacting, but I’m sure Dabbler won’t be offended if you pretend.
I modeled Archon’s Mess Dress largely after a Marine I found with a little googling. It had a cloak, so naturally I went with something like that, but decided to give it a few tweaks, including jackboots and those epaulets with the tassel fringe. After I drew it I realized that Max kind of looks like M. Bison/Vega. It wasn’t intentional, but I’m super okay with it.
I’m not actually sure what regulation military underwear is. I think I read something about, depending on the branch, everyone gets a few basic standard issue boxers or tighty whities, plus an allowance to buy like a week’s worth of your preferred style or something. And there’s probably a line somewhere about not wearing thongs and shit that’s going to chafe. I don’t know if they do underwear inspections, but they do barracks inspections so if you’re going to get caught in your drawers, that’d probably be the time.
I imagine Lt. Colonels never actually have to prove they’re wearing the right kind of underwear, (I’d like to see the general with the balls to check Maxima) so I’m not sure how valid Max’s protest is there in panel three.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like!
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"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.
In my 9 years in the U.S. Navy, the only time (other than boot camp where EVERYthing is scrutinized) someone even mentioned my underwear was when the red hearts on my boxers were showing through the dress whites. No, I didn’t realize it until I was on shift. THAT was a fun shift, let me tell you.
I imagine the practical reality of “You need to wear these on an all day march in full gear”. Makes people go for something that will minimize chafing pretty quick.
Yea, whites are a pain if you are wearing anything darker than lightish gray….fun times for all. It’s also stupid when you get called out for having a wallet. Like, what do you expect me to do? Carry everything in my hands or a manpurse? Legitimately I’m not sure if I’m allowed to have a man purse in whites and I am very tempted to look into this….didn’t even think of that possibility until now…
When i was in the Navy (geological eons ago; literally – i served in Viet Nam at COMMSTA Cam Ranh) in dress blues or dress whites guys would hook the wallet over the waistband of their pants, and the jumper would cover it.
Get away from maximum encumbrance. Leave most of it locked up at home/the barracks. Carry your ID, one bank card, some cash, and loose keys if needed (key chains and fobs just make them stick out more directions).
That’s why the folds in a cummerbund are meant to be worn with the openings ‘up’…
Originally to hold ticket stubs, coat check receipts, lighters, calling cards, single keys, cash.
Today for ATM cards, flash cards or very thin phones, which should be banned at a Mess Dinner.
Fanny pack is probably right out.
(I’d like to see the general with the balls to check Maxima)
Carring them in a wheelbarrow I presume ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Have you met General Faulk? The man is the non-powered Flag for a Company whose field effectives are all super and whose support personnel are mostly civilians. PLUS, he has to explain to the JCS and POTUS what the HELL just happened – probably a couple of times a month. Wheelbarrow nothing, his have to be big enough they each have their own zip code.
If you haven’t already seen it, check out the South Park episode where the dads all microwave their balls so they are YUGE so they can buy medical weed at the Ex-KFC store! Literal wheelbarrow action plus jumping on them like those children’s toys, large rubber balls with a handle to hold on to….
If not before the inspection, he’ll definitely have to after.
Dave, that’s a really bad background color for those two panels. I had to zoom in to attempt to read it. I wonder how much harder the colorblind have it.
More contrast, dude. More contrast.
Am colorblind. The text was a bit strange, but didn’t really have a problem seeing it. Maybe check the brightness of your screen?
If you’re bored, you could run a SpyderX to calibrate your screen. Only $200 for the cheap one.
Spyder X sounds like if Peter Parker had an unknown older brother who was a masked race car driver and part time secret agent.
I think that was part of the Spider Clone saga…
$200? I’m not rich.
Kinda expected if your screen isn’t calibrated. I was just making a really terrible joke.
The brown panels? Sounds like your gamma or brightness is set too low, anyone that works with colours and draws more then likely are very well calibrated.
I register the brown background for the text as Red=61 Green=35 Blue =20, giving a sum of 116. Color blindness means that you effectively have two color channels, with one of them being the sum of two of the primaries. So color-blindness wouldn’t affect viewing. My experience has been that the amount of contrast needed to read text varies widely between individuals, and I have found that having a brightness of 116 for the background is marginal. The need for contrast goes up as you get older. Also mainly people keep the brightness of their displays down to make the battery last longer. I tend to set brightness near maximum for my laptop and smartphone. Artists typically require less contrast because they are better at distinguishing colors and shades. I would probably find it easier to read if R+G+B for the background was over 190.
It’s supposed to be Kenya’s skin color, I think. Looks bad to me, not unreadable, but not particularly easy to read.
Can confirm: Contrast between the characters and background is lacking in panels 1,4, and the final panel.
I can forgive panel 1 (dark cape, night view…)
Panel 4 is partly covered by white highlights on the cape, but the gentleman in the suit is hiding against a dark background.
In the final panel, Anvil’s shirt is a close match in brightness to the wall behind her.
This isn’t really a colorblind thing, or even strictly a drawing thing. It’s a visual art thing (includes photography, television, etc). Contrast is important, and can be used to convey mood.
Mood hmm?
In that case: Mission accomplished
This entire page screams: I so do not want to be here, do this, and give me one excuse and I will level this place with extreme prejudice on the least provocation :)
Umm, something is seriously wrong with your monitor: Panel four, the dude is wearing a grey suit against a brown background (not even remotely close in colour), last panel, Anvil is wearing a green top against a grey wall
Surprised you were able to see the thong in panel three!
1) colorblind is a thing. It pays to look at things in greyscale – if it works there, it works for anyone who’s colorblind.
2) Camouflage works in part by minimizing contrast between the person wearing it and their surroundings. (It also breaks up outlines, irrelevant here).
When a scene has one or two characters, and one or both are effectively in camouflage, one would hope that effect was deliberate. None of the scenes here call for cammo.
Does anyone else see hot female M. Bison in panel one?
Hot, female, COPPER M.Bison, maybe. Like a bronze statue of gender-swapped M.Bison.
Mr DaveB mentions he noticed that detail after finishing the drawing & doesn’t mind. I don’t think I mind either…
I know from previous panels the answeris no, but it looks like Xuriel is wearing a tongue ring. Like, a ring ring.
Those are Kenya’s fingernails
They could’ve tried to talk her into the skirt instead of slacks version of the uniform. :p
When you build dress uniforms for people that fly, I don’t imagine skirts are going to be a thing in a Dress uniform.
Fun fact – the uniforms they wear the rest of the time on duty? They are (or can be) called UNDRESS Uniforms. But considering they have Dabbler there… probably not.
“Dabbler don’t suck, Dabbler Scrape and lick”
*Gla-la-la-la*
“Scrape and lick”
*Gla-la-la-la*
“Scrape and lick”
*Gla-la-la-la*
Freakin’ Dracula.
Love the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy reference!
You win three boxes of thin mints.
Sadly, Kenya is wrong about the underwear.
That only makes evenings interesting if you both entertain and appreciate the notion that (a certain) someone migh see them.
Max … does neither.
i think the point is that while Max has great pride in her physical strength, the thong is to make her more conscious of her body, and thus the sexual power she has as well.
Daniel here. Personally, if I somehow ended up in that situation (Female [genderbent?!], superpowered, being asked to wear a G-String), I would take it like Max does but then NOT put it on! Closest I’d do is stash it in a spot where it would be contained, but unlikely to fall/get pulled out. No pockets, how many TV shows have THAT as a comedic chain of events? Maybe inside a shoe, or something like that? That way, I can honestly say they are ON me, but won’t be wearing…
It’s all about the wording… :D
Yeah, I promise if you handed me a thong like that, all that would happen is I’d be very uncomfortable all night long. I’d be more likely to rip it off and dump it in the feminine hygiene disposal box shortly after arriving because it would only take me the trip over to realize I was NOT happy with it and that going commando was more comfortable.
And going commando is not comfortable either.
M. Bison/Vega nothing, that’s straight up Yasonori Kato, the character Vega is a DIRECT reference to! I even thought you were literally referencing him at first since it looks so shockingly near identical, the sole differences being that the coat is unbuttoned and the pants and cape are embroidered. (And a different symbol on the cap). If I recall correctly, he’s one of the most famous villains in Japanese literature.
He’s not nearly as well known in the west though since, although the series he’s from (teito monogatari) is allegedly iconic in Japan (I’m not Japanese myself so I can’t really say what is and isn’t iconic over there with any authority after all, only go on hearsay), the series has never been translated.
Seriously though look him up it really is just a slightly dressier version of his outfit, down to color scheme (although he doesn’t have purple iirc, but I don’t think people would bat an eye of a redesign gave him that color).
Good pop-culture catch. Although actually, it has seen a bit of a release outside Japan–the anime OVA series Doomed Megalopolis (released by Streamline *way* back when, more recently on DVD) is a particularly dark adaptation of the base story.
Based on a fair amount of contact with Japanese culture I suspect it’s one of those things that was very popular in its day (the ‘80s) and influenced a lot of things since, but not many people remember the source material anymore. I’d bet money *far* more Japanese people would make the same Vega/Bison connection than would think of Teito Monogatari’s villain.
I actually have Doomed Megalopolis on my Anime shelf and have had it for decades; right alongside other anime classics; and even I thought of Bison before I thought of him.
also yes, I have found as time goes on I have taken it for granted fans of anime have become less aware of the influential classic series as anime has become more mainstream and common. Just like movies and anything else; it makes you feel old to point out Demon City Shinjuku, Slayers, Tenchi Muyo, Ranma 1/2, Vampire Hunter D, Fist of the North Star, ect…and get that blank expression as they say “oooh, like Jo Jo’s Bizare Adventure, Naruto, Bleach, ect…)…actually even some of those are going back into memory.
I feel out of teach as some rattle off some name and I’m like…what?, they describe it and I’m like “Oh so its like Gundam” and they just look at me like I asked it a computer was like an abacus.
Does Maxima even feel that kind of discomfort? Her skin has got to be more tolerant to stress even at the base level right?
So, not only does it ride up, it also tickles
tolerance is not the same as numbness.
You don’t feel the pain or receive any damage while grabbing the spinning chainsaw, but you still feel a sensation to let your brain know something is touching you and how often, and maybe a variant on how fast.
actually it might be even more irritating, like that sensation of a fly walking on your arm.
Oh no the eyes…the most dangerous thing in a persons arsenal known to mankind.
Daniel here. Screwball once overheated from that kind of look, apparently he thought it was a positive reaction, not the manipulation attempt it was. Me, I tend to just give either a -_- or o_O expression. Needless to say, it is not that effective on me…
*Chuckles slightly evilly…*
Oooh, Kenya dug that out of the “Max’s 3rd Date” bag, didn’t she?
Au contraire, this is clearly first date materiel, seeing how this particular thong is manifestly crotchful – albeit the “ful” part comes in form of dentist floss, giving definition a stretch – while the unmentionables from the said duffel are decidedly crotchless.
When I went through Army basic, they gave us brown underwear that looked like tightie whities, the reasoning was that we shouldn’t have anything that could be used to wave a “white flag” for surrendering. After basic, I didn’t know of anyone that actually wore them afterwards.
I wore the browns all through my service. I never heard the justification about white flags though. I thought it was more for practical washing reasons. No need to worry about dirt or er, other stains when the fabric is already brown.
It was actually so you could toss everything in one load and not worry about white fuzz everywhere.
Not to nitpick, while I’m sure it wouldn’t be as funny as the “date prep” scene, considering the reason Max wants to talk Deus about, I trust she had an equally long and equally tedious meeting with all of the Geopolitical and military experts at ARCHON before she went.
Also, is Max even able to “minimize” her stat levels enough to even notice if a thong is riding up?
If she has a sense of touch at all—which presumably she does—she’d be able to feel it just fine, and it could certainly be uncomfortable.
Just because your skin can’t be punctured easily doesn’t mean it can’t detect something on the surface. Bit like a vibration sensor on an inch-thick piece of steel—you can pick up somebody lightly tapping on the outside, but you can’t damage it even with a bullet.
And something doesn’t need to hurt or be damaging to be uncomfortable. The edge of a t-shirt tag can’t penetrate my skin any more than a bullet can penetrate Maxima’s, but it’s unimaginably uncomfortable after just a few seconds of contact with my skin.
The alternative is that her super-skin is so insensitive that she can’t feel anything at all, which is borderline disturbing and would have her accidentally breaking everything she tried to pick up like an industrial claw with no force feedback.
Why am I not surprised that Dabbler has THAT sort of tongue? o.o
It looks like you could use that as a skipping rope…
Indeed.
Ok, maybe it’s because I’m super bi, but the mess dress is 1000 sexier than anything Anvil or Dabbler wanted to put her in. Deus may not agree, but Max WILL get a certain amount of queer female attention dressed like that. Damn.
Bi Trans … well… whatever the heck I am anymore… here… can totally agree that Mess Dress is super-hot. The “sexy lingire stuff” is good for “sub”-hot. The Mess Dress is totally “Dom”-hot.
AND it’s kind of a power move. Even if Deus manages to get it into a proper date, with her in that outfit, everyone would assume he’s on the bottom.
and probably would be… ;)
http://www.misfile.com/hell-high/4320
Guys too.
Guys can firmly attests that a girl in uniform is damn sexy
So what is going to happen for everyone to see this underwear?
Some sort of spilled very corrosive food that only Max or Sydney could eat.
Attack by alien monsters.
Attack by a super powered enemy.
Attack of the Clones.
Dues uses his suspected superpower of “literally knowing everything [or damn near everything]” to realize she’s wearing them, then engineers events to cause them to be exposed…
Deus actually has a special “removes underwear” trick. Probably learned it from Haposai.
I learned it from Sheogorath.
Ladies and Gentlemen, here we have Exhibits A through H of a female-only, mana-active humanoid species’ evolutionary adaptation to pansexual feeding from the tantric field. Lust aura and pheromones, hypnotic breasts, hypersexualized ideal body according to conventional standards of humanoid attractiveness, elongated prehensile tongue, specialized pelvic muscles, tantric awareness (commonly known as ‘porno sense’), body storage of tantric energy, magical proficiency and glamour aura. Other likely adaptations include aphrodisiac (and imprint-inducing) saliva (one of the most plausible explanations for the effects of the succubus’ kiss, in alternative to a contact spell), milk, and sexual fluids.
Recreational intercourse with this species is universally reported to be extremely pleasurable for any gender of a broad humanoid spectrum. Known side effects include short-term extreme fatigue, temporary sexual imprinting for the succubus partner, and desensitivization to sex with non-succubi partners (short of courtesy selective memory erasure).
Open questions about succubi sexuality include:
Do female lovers of succubi face the same risk of getting ‘ruined’ for human partners (short of partial memory erasure) that males have (imprinting is already known to happen)?
Is sex between succubi as nutritionally fulfilling (and pleasurable) as with other humanoids (and tentacled beings), or do they need partners from different species? Succubi seem to have evolved on their original world in parallel with several other ‘demonic’ species, and later to have spread across the galaxy, so either alternative seems potentially feasible.
The species is known to be strictly female. Reproduction apparently requires males of other species and somehow ensures conservation of the main racial traits, moderate phenotypic variance, and possibility of hybridization.
Is group sex with multiple succubi liveable? Anectodal reports of pizza delivery drivers having threesomes with two succubi exist, but the outcome is unknown.
Inquiring minds need to know… for science, of course!
We’ve already had Word Of God DaveB state when 2 Succubi first met that 2 Succubi “feeding off” each other would gain no energy from the other, which I can understand. They’re both trying to feed from their combined energy pool, with no external source, so all they’ll do is burn through that energy pool until they don’t have much left. At which point they probably go hunt other partners to “feed off”…
Narratively speaking, this seems more consistent with succubus feeding from the partners’ life force (like the supernatural kind of vampires, but using sex instead of blood as a medium) than from the tantric field caused by a sexual event. Yet we know succubi can also feed from the latter as witnesses, as well as tantric batteries. The combination is not exactly straightforward, but I bow to word of God. I suppose we can blame flaws of succubi biology creating this awkward combination of feeding means. Evolution often is not a precise process that yields streamlined results if the outcome is good enough for fitness.
Another interesting topic of succubi biology is their reproduction. A female-only species as complex as the succubi needs regular sampling of genetic material from partners of compatible races to stay viable. For succubi the mate spectrum seems to involve humans, other kinds of demons, and more or less all the sci-fi/fantasy humanoid races that DaveB cares to include in the setting. In all likelihood, this most simply means taking sperm from compatible males by the usual means. Some kind of fertility control is unconfirmed but seems extremely likely to keep sexual feeding and reproduction separate.
Taking gametes from female partners too (succubi as well as other species) is also potentially feasible if somewhat more complex; it suggests another possible use for those extra-long, prehensile tongues. Parthenogenesis (the mother cloning herself in her womb) is yet another possible option that can only be used sparingly, since regular reproduction by cloning quickly becomes a lethal genetic trap for any complex species.
Somehow the mating process must account for variance between ‘vanilla’ succubi such as Decollete/Tamatha and confirmed hybrids such as Xuriel being born. Maybe the former involves mating with sufficiently humanlike/demonlike partners (or perhaps another succubi), and the latter concerns more ‘alien’ mates.
When I was in the Airforce, ‘nylon clothing’ was specifically not allowed around A/C, and particularly when loading weapons, it was part of the checklist and read immediatley before every load.
“No rings, watches or nylon clothing ?” with a response of No” required before proceeding.
That said, the dress and work shirts of the era were nylon…highly staticky (new word invented) nylon.
I also watched an Army Captain get escorted out of a Hanger in his sock feet, being continually ‘corrected’ by the Sqn Commander, a LCol, because the ‘clickers’ on his shoes were expressly verboten.
All that aside, and not counteing safety reasons, we weren’t issued with undergarments other than T-shirts although you could buy them at Supply and had to after the initial issue, we had a monthly ‘clothing allowance’ as part of our pay to cover such things as underwear, boot polish, etc. females got a much larger allowance than males, so even back in the dim recesses of time, there was a gander-gap in wage parity….women got more ;)
I do remember that due to the translucency of the shirts, not really much more opaque than one of today’s tinted recycling bags, the dress regulations stated that women were to wear white or neutral coloured brassieres at all times, black was specifically forbidden and it was apparent at a glance if worn.
For that matter, even with the extra layer of fabric on the pockets, men should probably have worn t-shirts under them except there wasn’t an issue white t-shirt other than the crew neck PT ones with dark rings around the neck and cuffs which would have looked ridiculous.
Nothing really changes though, before I retired for good last year from a different Department, the ‘official issue’ black t-shirts we wore with our uniforms had sleeves about two inches longer than the short sleeved duty shirt. Back to buying my own again, with no allowance this time.
Max’s ‘Mess Dress’ seems to be a modified version of the USMC one, the boat cloak was a nice touch, but where’s her sword ?
Rather than a Marine style Mameluke sabre, she could make a Zweihander work..or a gladius…
or even a basket hilted braodsword…with a purple tassle ;)
Actually black counts as a neutral color for some. African skin comes in lots of different shades depending on where someone is from. African-American skin is usually lighter/more mixed, but by no means always. There are more than a few American GIs to whom clothing marketed as “black” is not even as dark as their own skin.
And if you’ve got skin like that, you’ll get called out for wearing the same beige that’s considered a neutral color for the white girls.
Hence the ‘neutral colour’ in the orders.
Oh wow, Dabbler is also a practitioner of Tongue Fu!
Dabbler’s face in that last panel reminds me of Happosai from Ranma 1/2… Panties! Panties!
The Mighty Bison vs THE MIGHTY HALO …
He doesn’t stand a chance!
Exactly WHAT was Dabbler going to say before Anvil grabbed her tongue?
It’s Dabbler. Whatever you can come up with that’s inappropriate, square it and double it.
Something that would make Max change her mind immediately.
With that context, do you really want to know?
Yes.
I can’t get over Dabbler’s tongue. O_o It’s making me think lewd thoughts. :P
Succubi tongues make a lot of Watsonian sense. They are a pansexual, female-only species, regularly feed from females too, use sex as a means to establish a pecking order (probably bonding too), and need an easy, effective means to milk super ladies dry of all that yummy energy.
I am trying to remember if we have any confirmed cases of female cast members going all the way Barberian-style with Dabbler or other succubi in-story. As far as I know, Harem was seriously tempted but got cold feet about being overwhelmed by the experience.
Jabberwocky got close since it was the easiest, quickest way to treat her imprinting on Dabbler getting stuck and she was vocally asking for it. Unfortunately, Max got in the way and predictably deemed her own prejudices more important than providing the best medical treatment for a teammate.
Vote incentive please DaveB:
Halo in her dress uniform.
Without changing the size (and including the thong)
Huh. Where did Dabbler’s tongue piercings go? She had six! …though with a tongue THAT long…
Maxima descending from the sky in full dress uniform is quite imposing…and the lesser known benefits of super speed keep it that way.
How the heckle did Anvil pull off the Sydney look so well?!
Heh, this very arc confirmed that Anvil is Max’s established close friend. In all likelihood she has long perfected the puppy eyes look since it is Max’s other kryptonite besides waving anything overtly sexual or anti-feminist in her face. Sydney just accidentally discovered its effectiveness on her after really making a fool of herself with POTUS.
Puppy eyes have a saving throw but are safer to use. Provocation of Max’s prudish/ultra-feminist foibles more or less seems always effective to some degree but riskier to use: effects may range from deer in the headlights to berserk rage.
The dress outfit may be appropriate for this evening. She is basically going on an espionage mission to find out what Deus has been up to. The cloak could go well with the daggers I’m sure Maxima will be staring at him all evening.
Speaking for the Canadian military at least;
There was an ill-advised attempt to create regulation underwear for all female soldiers. It failed rather spectacularly, for reasons along the lines of there not BEING a “one-size-fits-all” or even a “one-size-fits-most” when it comes to womens’ bodies.
The eventual compromise was that female soldiers are issued an “underwear allowance” to go shop for their own in regular retail stores. I have no idea how much it is, but I suspect it’s a bit short of what they’d like it to be.
*(My information on this is a bit more than two decades old by now, so if there have been more recent changes, I accept any corrections in advance).
I remember that debacle, FRP’d from RCAF (CAF at the time) in ’94
Joined in ’74 and to my knowledge there always was a clothing allowance (women got more)
although it may have been increased again for just that reason.
I’d say Max’s outfit reminds me more of M. Bison’s. :)
Yeah… the hovering in mid-air helps that impression too. :P
Anybody else notice a slight glow or sparkling where Anvil grabbed Dabbler’s tongue?
It might just be the light but I can’t help wondering if poor Anvil is about to learn through experience, certain properties of Succubus saliva… on her date tonight XD
Saliva: warming agent, lubricant, increases pleasure sensitivity. Some demons can mentally produce various venoms including paralysis to increased pain sensitivity…but…um…stick to the first few things; also anti-coagulant blood thinner…
tongue: elastic, prehensile, can vibrate and alter surface texture *from smooth, to a little rough, too incredibly sharp ripping flesh from bone spikes…er…maybe not use that part with normal humans*
lips: can vibrate and produce an electrical field ranging from a slight tingle too…being tazered…
well, got some range there from soft to hard shell bodied partners.
Great comic, with just one little nitpic… A Lt. Colonel, who happens to be the most recognizable celebrity on the planet, who ALSO just recently saved the world from an alien invasion… walks into your restaurant, and you call her “Ma’am”???
yes because in most circles “Ma’am” is considered a respectful thing to call someone, especially if you’re a civilian.
what do you want him to say, her rank? Sir? Mistress? or some false royal title like Lady Maxima?
Ma’am is perfectly normal in this circumstance.
it looks like Dabbler is Channeling her inner Sydney.
they both have ADHD, Dabbler just also has a much higher libido and IQ so it manifests a tad differently.
Wedgieburger – when your undies ride so far up that you can taste it.
I’m not sure how to count the panels in this one, but, the one where she says, “Just give me the damned thong” is, to me, one of the prettiest you’ve ever drawn of Max’s face, especially with that expression helping(looks like a cross between annoyed and amused. ;-)). :-)
Technically the only non-reg part is the color. Get those babies in, say, black and white and it’s all good under the hood.
When I was in, your underwear wasn’t ever “inspected”.
But there were times, especially in basic, that you had to fall out to formation without the time to throw anything on, so it had better be something that won’t get you yelled at, or harassed over for the entire tour of duty.
Dabbles’ tongue reminds me of an erotic story read some years back (long before this webic started) about an alien with a similar length tongue, and how she used it on a female and had it curl around inside her womb
That sounds familiar,
nah,
probably serendipity, I can’t be the only person to have written that scenario.
No. Not erotic. There is nothing erotic about that- do you have any idea how much cervical dilation hurts? And don’t even get me started on the resultant uterine infection. Please keep all appendages/tentacles/elongated tongues in the vaginal canal where they belong!
It was a porn story site, very little ‘reality’ cums into it (specially when talking about aliens)
I still cringe at some of my early erotica like…pretty sure that would be painful. Even how you see some.
but that’s fantasy erotica for ya, helps to establish these aren’t humans but demons, gods, undead, stretchy tentacle slime girl aliens, and what not to just step over that mental hurdle.
There’s a fine line between “intrusive” and “just plain creepy,” and Kenya is NOWHERE EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO THAT LINE right now.
This is serious, hard, psychotic levels of Just Plain Creepy here!
Wanting your boss to wear a sexy outfit for a meeting with Deus <—Intrusive
Buying sexy outfits for your boss on the chance that she might wear them <–Mildly Creepy
Persistent attempts to persuade your boss to wear the sexy outfit you got her <–More than Mildly Creepy
Wanting your boss to wear sexy underwear for a meeting with Deus <– WHAT THE FUCK?! Creepy.
Buying sexy underwear (including implied crotchless underwear) for your boss <–DUDE, I DON'T EVEN — HELL YEAH, CREEPY!!
Persistent begging for your boss to wear sexy underwear for her meeting <–PURE PSYCHOTIC CREEPY GOES TO 11!!
Begging your boss to wear sexy underwear
you are aware they are also friends and have been for a very long time right?
Its a tad, weird, yes, but not nearly as bad as you are making it out to be.
clearly these two have built up enough of an association to be a little less uptight with one another and testing a few boundaries. Also implied Maxima hasn’t always been as uptight as she is now.
Friends have the right, and the responsibility, to test boundaries and push friends out of their habits and comfort zones if they think it is for their friends’ good. This arc confirms Kenya and Max have been longtime friends. Anvil knows Max has been dateless for a year, in a dry spell for DaveB only knows how long, and trapped in a “on duty 24/7” mindset since she enrolled. Workaholic lifestyles are not good for anyone.
This sequence began before Deus’ issue showed up on the horizon, with Anvil preparing for her own date and begging Max to go on one as well. Then Arianna made them aware of Deus’ last shenanigans, Max decide she had to meet him at once to pump him for info, and Anvil (being aware of Max’s ambivalent feelings for him) saw a good opportunity to make her friend just a little less uptight.
> Friends have the right, and the responsibility, to test boundaries and push friends out of their habits and comfort zones if they think it is for their friends’ good.
No, they don’t.
“Friends” who pull that kind of shit aren’t friends, they’re just bullies using “but I’m your friend” as social pressure to keep victimizing someone.
Agreed, this has gone well over the line into intrusive BS.
Seriously, if I were Maxima I would be considering the odds of needing to use a section-8 discharge here.
Of course, you couldn’t respond to Kenya’s semi-psychotic vicarious thrill-seeking that way without addressing Dabbler and her semi-predatory vicarious thrill-seeking too.
Section 8: Housing Choice Voucher
That’s changed then. Guess I’m an old phart. It used to be the non-physical Medical Discharge, for people suffering PTSD or whose particular form of Just Plain Crazy (which might be aggravated by PTSD) was having an undue impact on discipline or duty performance.
If you had a year or less left, it mainly meant serving the rest of your term at a VA hospital before discharge. If it was more than a year, your Section 8 discharge would come through before the end of your hitch. Either way you couldn’t re-enlist unless the Dr. who’d treated you at the VA hospital signed off on it.
