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

It's hard to see, but there is a door behind Dabbler's little drafting table, if you need to know where Anvil came from. Anvil obviously can't teleport or anything, but her Sergeant Sense was tingling. It's been a low buzz ever since Sydney became one of her subordinates. Dabbler isn't really one of her direct reports, but she definitely raises the chaos floor, and Maxima has fully authorized Anvil to whoop Dabbler if she's getting truly out of control. 

I'm personally not into the femdom thing... though I don't know if it's really femdom when it's two women. I guess that's lezdom. In any case, it's safe to say that Dabbler has most reasonable fetishes. The word "reasonable" admittedly doing some heavy lifting there, as a succubi's tastes would be considered quite extreme by most people. Their fetishes have both breadth and depth, but usually have hard cut-offs at the fringes. What I'm saying is that there's plenty of stuff on the Terran internet that Dabbler has seen and gone, "Yeah, I don't get it." I won't give any examples, you're all "internet worldly." But we've all seen stuff that 1, we're confused that there's any sort of audience for, and 2, that there's someone so into that very specific, particular thing that they took, in some cases, a lot of time to create it and put it out there. 

Dabbler did change her top since the last page (or really just glamored up a different design - presumably she's just enough clothes most of the time so that if her glamor is somehow disrupted, Maxima won't yell at her, and she changes the style whenever the whim strikes her) because I had the pencils of her in that top panel sitting around from some other picture I'd started but hadn't found a use for. I just liked the scoop neck that shows off the inside semi-underboob if you get the angle just right.

I mean Is it really a fetish if it's normal in your own community

TrixieTurner

It would still be Femdom, since it’s just a female dominant. Lmao dabbler lucky max isn’t here, that’s gotta be a major hr violation. Both what she says and does.

Ebonbolt

To be honest, Dabbler is a walking sexual harassment violation in continuous, rolling effect. They've probably had to write exemptions & exceptions galore just to let her in the building. The fact that half of those exemptions & exceptions also apply to Sydney, for wildly different & utterly baffling reasons, is probably a confusing relief to some law clerk buried in the depths of the legal department.

Nathan Wilson

I'm one of the weirdos into femDom, but not BDSM. The leather and pain aren't necessary for the experience, imo

TRwolf2k

Sometimes the attention to details just stick out to me.... and make me chuckle. The tag under the chair Dabbler got thrown over just caught my eye for some reason. How many comic artists would include such details, who would even know they were there? Also, it's funny how the characters are starting to try and prevent 'red flags' from happening now that Sydney has joined the crew.

Brett Peirce

I don't think, to my understanding, that Dabbler has any fetishes (?)

You_With_The_Face

I'm with Anvil on this one, don't go tempting fate. With that said, man alive it looks like Dabbler had a 10/10 knee-knocker there

Joshua Brumley

It's not el-cabonging unless it's it's a guitar or similar instrument. :)

Andrew Denton

I saw a movie once (I think it was Hungarian) in which what was happening was shot and framed as though it was erotic, even pornographic. I can't remember the content, but I remember ranting to a friend about the dissonance.

Ludu

Dabbler has her own "The List". It is a kama sutra-esque collection of ideas she wants to do/try with teammates. Time to check one off.😈

Woodrobin

I'm a little confused as to how Dabbler is committing sexual harassment by being subjected to a chokehold by a person of superior rank. She didn't initiate the physical contact, she just happened to find it sexually arousing. Dabbler has definitely done things that would constitute sexual harassment in any kind of normal workplace (like walking into Maxima's room while Maxima was undressed), but this doesn't seem like one of them. Then again, in normal workplaces, your supervisor or coworker doesn't usually put you in a chokehold to stop you from jinxing something, so I'd imagine there isn't a specific precedent.

Michael Obert

The list of things that gets Dabbler off is basically a Madlib. Noun. Action. Possibly some adjectives. Though, they all end with a 'sploosh'.

Stephen Gilberg

The "Too Kinky to Torture" trope strikes again.

Stephen Gilberg

Harem, you don't have to point out someone's race and gender every time you describe what they're doing.

Michael Altarriba

"Well, ackchyuall..." No, I'm not going to do that. Ew. I would like to note that, last time I looked, a fetish isn't just something you like, but rather something you can't... um.... "enjoy yourself" without. If you like to wear a crotchless rubber chicken suit (I won't judge) on occasion, that's not a fetish. If you *need* to wear a crotchless rubber chicken suit in order to enjoy yourself, that's a fetish. But, all words are made up, language isn't static, and linguistic prescriptivism is as futile & pointless as trying to hold back the tide with a fondue fork. Life is short... so long as it's safe, sane & consensual, do whatever you enjoy.

William Elliott

yeah, I don't think Dabbler would appreciate some of the things I've heard about [like the guy that literally gave himself severe frostbite with dry ice because of an amputation fetish]

Magraal

Wonderbread man confuses everybody, even himself.

Anton Schleef

@Michail Altarriba: Language is only useful so long as people agree on what the words mean. When they give the words different meanings, especially when unaware that the other person isn't using their meaning, then language starts to devolve into just noise.

Anton Schleef

Being put in a chokehold becomes sexual harassment against the person choking you when you find it it sexually stimulating, make it very clear to them you do, and it "ewws" them out. At least, in the US that's how the laws (and thus rules) around it work. It doesn't matter who initiated the contact, just that one of them found it unpleasant that the other found it sexual in nature. However, the severity of the punishment _does_ take into account who initiated and if they could have reasonably known that one would find it sexual and the other would find that unpleasant. Therefore, here Anvil might get away with just a slap on the wrist, since she initiated the contact and, as far as I know, no one around there thought that Dabbler would find that sexually stimulating in and off itself when her 'partner' didn't.

@Dabbler: What could go wrong? Sydney using it to 'bonk' the leader of a government where they declare war on Earth for the insult, even though said leader was totally deserving of it and wasn't harmed. Do I need to go on? This wouldn't be a case of "unintended consequences", but a case of "fully predictable consequences". If you need an example, Dabbler, just ask Cora about Sydney's recent 'princess' escapade. And that one borders on being "unintended consequences" since there wasn't enough known about that race's culture for anyone to realize that the particular gem and cut that Sydney chose would be a problem. Yes, I'm responding to a fictional character in a comic strip. Do remember, one of the other characters is extremely genre savvy, to the extent that we collectively struggle to keep pace with her knowledge of tropes. I'm sure that there's SOMEONE at ARC HQ who can explain that to Dabbler.

Enigma42

Well that is a concerning way to find something out about coworkers and society

MaxBigfoot

I'm actually wondering if Dabbler was gonna say the line just to see who would jump on her. As a highly experienced adventurer, she's gotta know what the consequences could be if she got the whole sentence out.

IHazNoFace

$20 says the “bonked” intergalactic government official will mistake it for some kind of courting ritual where Sydney makes the “claim” of said official.

Anton Schleef

That would be the other side of the "unintended consequences" coin. The 'good' side where things go wrong in a non "Oh Shit!" way.

eddi_TBH

That was a close call. Especially when Sydney is the center of attention.

Eric Loken

It was probably getting drooled on that upset Anvil. Dabbler getting worked up from that should be expected around there, and Anvil should have just sighed and walked away, but someone drooling on you is a bit more annoying.

Mathew Aaberg

Yeah nah, Dabbler is a Succubus a species tailor build for sex, espionage and assassination. Deriviving pleasure from pain is a super easy way to render torture pointless so Anvil should have seen that outcome coming. That is on her.

BoingDragon

Is Dabbler actually rubbing her ear tips against Anvil to get that A.S.M.R effect?

Mark Magagna

If it's really a fetish and not something she was saying to get out of the chokehold, it would probably be quite specific. Fetishes are often like that.

Anton Schleef

A chokehold isn't about causing pain, thus Dabbler enjoying it isn't predictable.
