succubus are female. if you're saying "he", that's an incubus

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

Eh. Depends on the setting. They are usually shapechangers anyways which makes most labels iffy anyways.

According to the forgotten realms wiki:

In fact, with their shapechanging powers, incubi and succubi could both change their sex with ease, though most had a preference for one or the other.

I would therefore say that (at least in the forgotten realms) if this instance of fiend prefers he/him pronouns but is presenting femme or they consider themself a succubus and prefer being feminine but are currently presenting masculine the combination of pronouns he/him and label succubus seem perfectly normal.

Yeah but what really happened was OP fucked up and we're politely covering for them.

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

AFAIK in actual mythology they are also considered sexless spirits that can incarnate as either male or female depending on the situation/target. There's even tales about such spirits seducing both sexes after each other in order to cause impregnation, since they cannot actually procreate themselves.

While that is traditionally correct, I prefer to think of succubus, incubus, and concubus as relating to whether they top. My demons are very progressive.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

But what sort of demon is the power bottom

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

A popular one.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

Your moms an succubus

[-] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

It started out as a succubus, but it defeated the rest of your party and turned into an incubus.

[-] tgirlschierke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

well technically the succu- suffix essentially means bottom, and anyone who has a female demon as a bottom is doing something wrong

Reminds me of this Oglaf strip (NSFW, of course - it's Oglaf).

[-] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

Sign me up twice. Maybe they can share their arcane knowledge too.

There's an epic tale of adventure to be had and a plane of existance that needs saving... but fuckit, look at all this garlic bread!

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Still the best D&D Beyond has to offer.

Reads like they wrote incubus and then panic swapped it to succubus

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 18 points 1 month ago

Sure, that's a certain kind of scary, but imagine the experience of being forcibly given a desire you've never known. Imagine you've been living as a more or less average human your whole life, and suddenly this creature turns up that instills a mind-warping hunger for something essentially mundane but culturally, slightly embarrassing or inconvenient to satisfy, like a growing need, only temporarily satiable, to have someone else's finger in your mouth. You can fight it, sometimes holding out for days at a time, but you experience a continuously intensifying, survival instinct level drive to lick, or suck, or simply hold in your mouth, someone else's warm, living fingers.

'We call this creature The Dentisubus.'

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

Not a succudigitus?

[-] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

Succubi are female. You're looking for an incubus. Also succubi are dominant while incubi are submissive.

[-] melmi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago

Where's the second part from?

[-] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago
[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

I think the succubus knows their name, smh colonizers

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

You mean demons that personify seduction would know how to exploit your weakness beyond just carnal desire?

[-] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 10 points 1 month ago

Remind me that larp when my character ended-up being an Eunuch. Use it as a resistance against a mass orgasm spel, that was a hilarious moment, and didn't changed much the outcome

[-] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Sounds like an... interesting session

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 1 month ago

Im all for tropes where the 'desire' branches beyond the most base of drives. (Sex and wealth).

I feel like there's a really great example from a video game that's escaping me right now. It wasn't Dragon Age, because Origins and 2 definitely leaned on the sex angle. And I don't recall Inquisition's 'choice spirit' to be particularly memorable.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

an incubus finds an asexual person. the incubus asks "would you rather: unlimited bacon, but no more video games, or games, unlimited games, but no more games"

the person is killed by the incubus for not understanding the question

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Also should be a succubus. Not an.

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Congratulations, you found a typo. Now what? Are you going to fine OP for it?

If there's also chicken wings on the table... My body is ready

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I’m asexual IRL and can confirm arcane knowledge is irresistible. You can often find me reading dusty old tomes from the past. The dustier the better.

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds like something Raphael from BG3 might do.

[-] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 month ago

Is this how the first warlock was made
