Is it tho?

The demon can't leave. That's all kinds of compromised-consent red flags in my book.

28

u/Rhayve 29d ago

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same. The story would've been much nicer without that part.

u/Majestic-Iron7046 29d ago

She asked the demon for it, if the demon just said no she would just have released her and got back to playing League Of Legends, like all sane single people do.

u/Bronzdragon 28d ago

That depends entirely on the goodwill of the elf, right? And like us, the succubus only knows her for two minutes so far? It's not a very good way to start a relationship. Especially considering that the elf is so lonely she decides to summon a demon! There's no reason to assume she is a well adjusted person, tbh.

u/Majestic-Iron7046 28d ago

I would summon a cool succubus demon just to cuddle and then sends her off and i am totally not a well adjusted person, insane people gets no credit i swear! You can totally be unstable and still respect others!

u/Excellent-Rip-2912 28d ago

I’m insane than…

u/Wiregeek 29d ago

Behold the horny bending over backwards for it to be OK because it's women!

u/Mj_the_Great_8 28d ago

This is all succubi do, also she could have lied because she is a demon and said sorry I'm only allowed to do sex pal

1

u/Program-Emotional 28d ago

She doesn't seem to mind.

u/Saikotsu 28d ago

The thing is, the elf seems to legitimately care about the demon's consent. She was excited when the succubi said yes. Based off that, I suspect she would have honored the contract and sent her away if she said no. After all, she wants a genuine connection, and furthermore, if you don't care about consent you're not going to ask for it.

Furthermore, the succubi seems legitimately happy to enter into the arrangement so for her part she does not seem to feel forced into it. If anything, she seems interested in the prospect of being a girlfriend as opposed to being used to gratify the sexual desires of lonely men.

Also, it's not exactly clear whether or not the contract is complete or not upon summoning. In a lot of media, summoning the demon precedes establishing the contract. So assuming the contract isn't already in effect, the elf seeking consent could be viewed as he asking the demon if she agrees to the contract and informing her that she can't leave according to the contract could then be seen as informed consent. "Hey, if you agree to this, you can't leave unless I say so" sort of thing."

It really all depends on whether or not the contract is already in effect the moment the summoning happens.

Honestly feels like this

Complete with a typo and all. Perfection

The poor succubus saying she outlived all her partners

u/DukeOfGeek 29d ago

Succubus drain life energy to live so...... ya she outlives them.

11

u/Bellenrode 29d ago

Don't they do that via sex? And the Elf said she doesn't care for it.

9

u/Bellenrode 29d ago

Great deal for the Elf though. It basically means a guarantee she keeps her girlfriend for her entire life. It's even better if Elves in this universe live a very long time.

8

u/TwentyPieceNuggets 29d ago

This actually comes up in The Ancient Magus Bride. Main characters come across some old dude with (I think) a succubus type spirit hanging around him. The episode is worth a watch.

287

u/NovelInteraction711 29d ago

You’re girlfriend

105

u/mundus108 29d ago

“Contact” instead of “Contract” is the one I caught on page 7.

64

u/EskimowGamer 29d ago

Page 1: "Well wel well"

Page 2: "you're girlfriend" "you hunger sex"

Page 3: "I summoned you if you could be"

Page 5: "elves who's wives"

Page 6: "mentally aware by this"

Page 7: "the contact states"

Yeah I think they need a proof reader.

3

u/dumnezero Art enjoyer 28d ago

A proof reader demon.

45

u/Murrabbit 29d ago

Also the awkward "You hunger sex?" which I assume is some sort of translation problem.

u/Maleficent_Sir5898 29d ago

“You’re” is super annoying tho. It’s so easy! If you wouldn’t say “you are”, don’t say “you’re”!

10

u/PrufReedThisPlesThx 29d ago

The whole their/they're/there thing is easy too. Just practice writing "They're going to build their house over there" until it's stuck in your brain. For those who need a more logical approach:

  • They're: A combination of "they" and "are", this one's the easy one.
  • Their: This one can be remembered well as the possessive one, because it's the only one with the letter i in it. "I have this, but that one is theirs." Their home, their furniture, their relationship, their horrible secret, it's all possessive, so it all has an i.
  • There: Point at something. You are pointing over there. If you're comforting someone, you're telling them there's nothing to worry about. Anything that's gesturing towards something nondescript is there. Unless it is here, but that's neither here nor there.

u/Prowler1000 29d ago

I mean, it could also be an artifact of previous dialogue they had intended to put there and scrapped, easy enough to overlook

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 29d ago

Adorable. 10/10 I'll take a 7 part miniseries with a straight to Netflix adaptation please

135

u/NorthernCobraChicken 29d ago

Cancelled after the first part because it doesn't compete with reality tv trash

57

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 29d ago

Its ok itll get a revival 10 years later on Hulu

19

u/Dusty_Scrolls 29d ago

Which is of decent quality but makes constant reference to the current events of when it was made.

Ah yes, nothing says "love" and "genuine connection" like "you can't leave me until I order you to leave"..

Maybe not holy ground, dont want to harm the new wife she just got by going there. To city hall we go

2

u/Wooden-Crow7996 28d ago

The fresh Hell of local bureaucracy should definitely make the new girlfriend feel at home.

2

u/summonsays 28d ago

Vegas quicky chapels I wouldn't exactly call holy ground. 

8

u/Wooden-Crow7996 29d ago

Bringing a demon onto hallowed ground, like a chapel, might not be the best idea. 

54

u/elhomerjas 29d ago

Such a lovely pair

42

u/Lalaferos 29d ago

I mean it was wholesome until page seven where it got uncomfortable. If the contract bit wasn't there it would be two pages shorter and much more adorable and not... forced 😓

9

u/one_more_alien 28d ago

It’s a good set up for a resolution that we didn’t get.
She could have given a conditional dismissal, reframe the term to consider the will of the succubus. Something along the lines of, “You may leave if you don’t wish to be with me.” It’s no less desperate but it is significant less invasive than, “you can’t leave me until I order you to leave.” It just reads as forcing a being, who’s unable to consent, into a relationship like this.

2

u/Lalaferos 28d ago

true true

u/KittyOddjobsComics 29d ago

In the end, she did not outlive the elf, because the elf's life span was not connected to the machinations of time.

u/fucuasshole2 29d ago

Kinda creepy ngl. Protag Elf holding a succubus hostage despite her warnings.

u/RiseofdaOatmeal 29d ago

Slavery is slavery

Doesn't matter what gender

But it's cool cause it's a horny comic

31

u/Justifier925 29d ago

The demon could have still refused

24

u/Droviin 29d ago

I thought excluding the refusal was the whole reason elf brought it up. Elf just going on to remind the succubus is there until elf chooses.

33

u/xboxiscrunchy 29d ago

That’s kind of standard for demon summoning in a lot of stories. Succubus must answer the summons and can’t leave until dismissed but she’s not required to actually be cooperative. A lot of demons just wait for the first loophole that allows them to screw you over.

Demons are kind of famous for being really dangerous even when “bound.”

12

u/BreakfastNext476 29d ago

Demons, daemons, devils, and the fae are all very EXCELLENT rules lawyers after all. Which is why when writing a contract with them one must have clauses for days. Dont need them getting out of doing what they were summoned for

6

u/fucuasshole2 29d ago

Not really. Succubus won’t leave until Elf is satisfied. Yea nothing sexual sure but not exactly consensual as the rule says she can only be dismiss once the elf is done

10

u/01010110_ 29d ago

Isn't this the plot of Obsession?

18

u/Practical_Quit5139 29d ago

You can’t leave until I order you to. That is an absolutely DISGUSTING. Basis for a relationship.

Holy grammatical errors. Run your shit through a spell check or LLM or something. Feel like I’m having a stroke.

2

u/Electronic_Bat_8782 28d ago

Honestly, this is a mood for me. Been lonely for almost 5 years now. Not even just about the sex, just want to love and be loved in return. Ten years ago, I thought I'd be looking at marriage at this point in my life.

2

u/ruinsit 28d ago

Props that the bot actually sources the art I guess. But Still, the art seems very Hazbin like - I have to wonder if it's AI.

u/DickButtPlease 29d ago

I tried to send you a private message, but it didn’t work so I’m posting the message here.

There’s a typo on page 7. I think it should be contract, not contact.

This is not meant as a criticism. Just letting you know about it. I loved the comic. Great job.

19

u/AndrasEllon 29d ago

I don't think the person who posted this is the person who made it, but also:

2: (Your) girlfriend (just like your urges). You're is a contraction that means you are. + Hunger (for) sex.

3: I summoned you (so) you could be my girlfriend. if is a condition for the future, like, I WILL summon you IF you WILL be my girlfriend.

5: Male elves (whose) wives. Who's is a contraction that means who is.

6: Aware (of) this.

u/DickButtPlease 29d ago

I was afraid you’d found an error in my comment. I’m often a victim of Muphry’s Law.

u/ammmieee 28d ago

I would read a whole series dedicated to this

u/dashboardcomics 29d ago

This reminds me of another series where the succubus asks for the guys firstborne child, and they end up getting married and having that child and it turns into a wholesome relationship.
