Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Full disclosure, everything I know about antagonistic sexual relationships I learned from TV. Personally, I don't get hate-fucking. It feels made up. Like, I'm sure it happens, IRL, but it's probably over-represented in media. Though I'm fairly sure it would be difficult to compile statistics on comparative rates of IRL vs. media instances.

That said, I think Deus and Sciona's relationship is fairly asymmetrical.  There's some respect there, but she mostly hates him. He digs the bad girl vibe, but doesn't approve of her... more sociopathic tendencies. You know... I think he might have an idea about reforming her? He already has a bit of a collection of bad-girls. I mean, Vale... inhabits a shell that definitely looks female. Which isn't to say she isn't actually female. Or possibly was, depending on how she came to be what she is. Or maybe eldritch hungering void beasts are all female. If that's what she is. I'm not confirming either way. Cthillia... well, she uses female pronouns. I have a full body model sketch of her somewhere, and I'll just say she's not a candidate for a vote incentive. Not a sexy one. Hmm. Although, maybe that would be an amusing change of pace every once in a while. Lorlara is the most normal female of his entourage, and "normal" is not an adjective I usually associate with her.

I realize that a "hydro-magneto" power generator could very well just describe entirely mundane generators powered by gravity or steam motivated water, but what I was picturing when I started writing Deus's explanation before letting it veer into facetiousness, was something akin to some sort of metallic hydrogen convection dynamo. Metallic hydrogen is one of those theoretical things that seems to have been more or less confirmed, though it's hard to keep a sample of it in a jar, since it requires something like 4 million atmospheres of pressure, or 400 Giga Pascals, at which point it would become (or at least exhibit the properties of) a conductive liquid metal. Why using something like that would be better than regular hydropower is not immediately clear, but it’s weird and exotic, and a power source based on it is (at this point) entirely made up, so no one can tell me it wouldn't work.

How much hate fucking actually happens is up in the air but the feelings for it arise more than you’d think. There is a surprising amount of overlap between the parts of your brain that handle hate distaste aggression and the parts that handle love arousal passion, leading to some conflicting emotions if they fire up at the same time. As someone probably said at some points, “it’s blasphemous and sinful. Hot as fuck though.”

Steve Ronuken

Still curious about Cthillia :) not all patreon pics have to be the sexy.

Michael Obert

Deus used infuriate! It was super effective!

Justin

'cthillia is not a candidate for a bit inventive. ' There is no place for cowardice on the front lines

Michael Altarriba

Came here to say something much like this... Also, he greviously underestimates the... "flexibility" of his audience.

Magraal

The flush on her cheeks is a nice touch. I noticed it immediately and was curious about why it was there, with the final panel wrapping things up.

tsukiouji

So, I don't remember, when did Sciona get this body? What happened to the gangster?

Stephen Gilberg

Wait, was it always "manna" and not "mana" in this comic?

Sir Butcher

I still hoping for a Dr. Frost vote incentive!

Aclys

This is that body, she was making cosmetic tweaks and changes as time and power allowed her to and as she worked her way from where that body started being hers to getting a joerb with the president's clique.

Aclys

It's not consentacles without consent after all.

Aclys

Yep, it's similair to the "villains you love to hate" only without the sexual aspects.

Anton Schleef

That depends on your definition of sexy. Sure, she probably isn't mine, but I've surfed some of the more 'exotic' corners of the web, and there absolutely are people who would want what she's got.

Anton Schleef

For some people, not all of us. I have a very clear and distinct separation between those emotion sets. It's severe enough that while anger, hate, and/or aggression are 'prominent' I CAN'T get aroused. The blood is needed elsewhere for the Fight response, and there's none to spare to 'raise the flagpole'.

Jathby Dredas

I was surprised to learn arousal from frustration isn't that uncommon.

akrasia

It's all over once a woman has a man by the concensus.

Alysandir

They are kind of adorable...in a sinister sort of way.

Enigma42

Are they flirting or are they planning to kill each other

eddi_TBH

A supervillain romance. 🎶Ah, sweet mystery of life. At last I've found you!🎶

eddi_TBH

"Manna" is usually reserved for the Biblical references, but does get past most Grammar Nazis as a variant on "mana". And no spellchecker will catch it since both are in their dictionaries.

eddi_TBH

Even they're not sure. It really puts the libido in turbo mode

Jon Gibson

Why do I get the feeling vale is an aspect/avatar or child of shub-niggurath?
