Collar 6: Difference between revisions

[[File:collar6_8555.jpg|frame|3 girls in latex, what are you waiting for?]]

 

 

 

 

 

* [[Accidental Marriage]]: The side-story "Owned" revolves around this -- a man agreed to a slave contract but doesn't remember it due to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|head trauma]]. The Mistress (who apparently knows him / lives near him) is holding him to it. Complicating matters is that he admits, begrudgingly, that he was always too afraid to explore his submissive side and the fact that the he is the Mistress's first ever slave. They reconcile and decide to give their future together a chance.

* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]: {{spoiler| Trina flat out states that Laura shouldn't be able to enter subspace to help Sixx, as she's not a high enough level slave. Laura then calls the idea of a "slave level" absurd and said she she just did it, and had no idea doing so was impossible.}}

* [[Alternate History]]: C6's history split off from our when {{spoiler| the Roman Empire discovered [[Atlantis]] -- and, more importantly, a hidden repository of sexual magic research therein.}}.

* [[Art Evolution]]/[[Art Shift]]: From [[Black and White]] to color. Furthermore, there has definitely been a gradual improvement in style, as the art became far more detailed.

* [[Author Appeal]]

* [[Author Avatar]]: Wolf has said that Gary is his [[Expy]].

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Sort of done with Laura, although she volunteered for a BDSM relationship, and the experience leaves her far more mature.

** A more serious, and VERY, disturbing example is Trina in [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-06-20-2010 this] strip.

* [[Broken Faceplate]]: {{spoiler|Judiciatrix}}

* [[Bondage Is Bad]]: Subverted and played straight, since pretty much everyone is into it.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Sixx is the owner of an incredibly successful chain of hotels, and people seem quite willing to overlook her gigantic harem of lesbian slaves (although, in the Collar Sixx universe, its not clear whether or not this is unusual).

* [[Call Back]]: In case you are wondering what Sixx meant in strip 146, {{spoiler|it refers to that one time when she thought Laura used her misguided anger at Ginger to shield herself from the pain of the spanking Sixx gave to her: apparently, it wasn't ''just'' anger that protected her}}.

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: [[Safe Word|Halo]]!

* [[Casual Kink]]: Well, it's that kind of world.

* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Sort of. The series started out with gags, then had everyone sit down and spend two months of real time talking about their relationship problems, but now they appear to be going comical again rather than maintaining the serious tone.

* [[The Chew Toy]]: Laura ... and she wants it that way.

** Also Gary, who thinks being hit in the face by a hot chick with an iron paddle is the best thing ever.

** Now [[I Knew It!|confirmed]] as a manifestation of the Dominant Spirit ( http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-06-23-2010 ).

*** [[Elemental Powers]] in the [[The Verse|Collar6Verse]] take the form of Dominant or Submissive energy, based on sexuality as a measurable force.

* [[The Faceless]]: The Judiciatrix seen in the comic wears a face shield with only a single red eye visible {{spoiler|until it breaks.}}

* [[Fantasy Gun Control]]: Due to the world having achieved [[Mega Man]] everlasting peace]], all guns have been banned since the 1900s.

* [[Free-Love Future]]: The setting of the comic, with the exception of some "Puritan" Territories. The Atlantean philosophies directly influenced sexuality during the renaissance, resulting in sexuality losing almost all taboo in the setting.

** For varying definitions of "Puritan" -- Laura's colony, for example, {{spoiler|was "[[Beyond the Impossible|male centric]]." Which means her father had '''70''' wives, was implied to be at the very least somewhat emotionally distant (and possibly abusive, given how he looks like a fairly stereotypical Shonen manga villain), and she had ''at least'' 30 full sisters. Given this data, along with the silhouette of her father with all the women chained to him, alongside the defeated look on her mother's face, it's not a stretch to suggest they weren't submissive because that's where they got their dominant and submissive energy from, but because women on her island didn't have equal rights.}} "Puritan" is more of a derogatory term for anyone rejecting the the Atlantean philosophies.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Sixx. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of several obscure topics, manages a hotel chain, and can knock grown men off their feet.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|Get A Hold Of Yourself, Mistress]]

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Several characters, particularly Trina.

* [[I Have Your Wife]]: {{spoiler|How Butterfly is blackmailing Sixx into telling her about Michael Kappel, using Laura as a hostage.}}

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Ginger's feelings towards Sixx, though she turns out to be [[Not So Stoic]].

** Brutally subverted by {{spoiler| Trina, who has apparently convinced herself that Sixx would be happiest as Butterfly's slave.}}

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-134 Subspace], a term commonly used in BDSM circles.

* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: Used by {{spoiler|Michelle}} on a captive to gain an advantage in the spank-off.

* [[Jerkass]]: '''Butterfly'''

* [[Ki Attacks]]: Dominant Spirits (possibly Submissive Spirit too, but it hasn't been confirmed that that can attack).

** Specifically, dominant and submissive spirits can only protect against other [[Ki Attacks]]. {{spoiler| Except for Laura, whose Submissive Spirit manifests as a physical shield when she's upset.}}

'''Sixx''': I said I worked ''in the hotel business''. [[From a Certain Point of View|By which I meant I own a few...hundred.]]}}

* [[Legacy Character]]: Apparently, the title of Mistress Sixx, which was previously held by Michelle's mother.

* [[Loophole Abuse]]: How Sixx plans to win the bet. {{spoiler| Sixx, aka Michelle, surrendered her title as Mistress Sixx to Laura, then became Laura's slave so that ''she'' will face the spanking. All of her debts and agreements transferred to Laura.}} Mistress Butterfly, who had never realized this was a possibility, was stunned.

** Subverted in the same event, since Sixx had taken Ginger as a second personal slave. Both Butterfly and the audience expected Sixx to exploit ''that'' loophole -- the audience because we've seen it; Butterfly because she had bugged Sixx's house.

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Appears to have happened with {{spoiler|Trina}}.

* [[Meido]]/[[French Maid]]: First Ginger, now Stella and Claire.

* [[Ninja Maid]]: Sixx's new maids are perfectly capable of apprehending a trained intelligence agent. Ginger knows how to [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-143 throw a punch, too].

* [[Not Brainwashed]]: Trina claims she took Butterfly's collar willingly.

* [[Not So Fast Bucko]]: [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-148 Here].

* [[Not So Harmless]]: Butterfly in spades! Compare her [http://collar6.com/2009/expensive-toys-10 early appearances] where she seemed simply bitchy to the sheer [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] that is [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-06-20-2010 this].

* [[Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality]]: The unnamed male character in ''Owned,'' who always wanted to enter a submissive relationship but was always too scared of the [[Real Men Wear Pink|implications]] to do so. He opened up to a dominant woman<ref>who it is implied he knows or lives in the same building as</ref>, who enters into a slave contract with him. Unfortunately, immediately afterwards he walks into a metal bar, causing him to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|forget the entire evening.]]

** It's show in page 4 that she's [[Not So Different]] -- he's her first submissive, too.

* [[Prehensile Hair]]: The Judiciatrix's metal ponytail.

* [[Property of Love]]: ...virtually all tropes related to BDSM at any level apply to this comic, let's just leave it at that.

* [[Safe Word]]: "Halo" for Laura and "ginger ale" for Ginger. Sixx, aka Michelle, has one, but we don't know it yet. In a [[Guest Strip]] "Red" was used by a girl [[Art Shift|who may or may not be Trina]], but ignored by Butterfly (who was clearly identified by her insignia).

* [[Schedule Slip]]: Not a huge amount, but a bit.

* [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains]]: Subverted.

* [[Series Hiatus]]: The author took a week off after completing his 100th strip.

* [[Spank the Cutie]]: It's a webcomic about S&M, what exactly did you expect?

* [[Spirit Bomb]]: [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-129 This strip].

* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: {{spoiler|Trina.}} [[More Than Mind Control|Or is it?]]

* [[Strip Buffer]]: Wolfe was working without one, but has recently gotten ahead.

* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler| Instead of sending Laura or Ginger into the spanking contest, Sixx sent HERSELF!!!}}

* [[Time Skip]]: It was more or less a necessity. The first year worth of strips took up a single day, and the contest was three weeks off. So, we got a [[Gonna Fly Now Montage]].

* [[Unobtainium]]: Paixao riaz, a fictional and strangely powerful drug which may be plot critical and is incredibly rare.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Trina and Butterfly have given mutually exclusive versions of events leading up to the spanking contest. [[Word of God]] has confirmed that {{spoiler|that both stories were correct: Trina did take Butterfly's collar willingly, but Butterfly broke her with torture nonetheless, just because she is a bitch like that}}.

* [[Vague Age]]: The entire cast.

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Well, Mistress out taking her slave for a walk.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: [http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-6-11-2010 Spanking Contest!!!!]

* [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises]]: Often, usually to indicate surprise, fear, or as part of your run-of-the-mill [[Face Fault]]. When paired with [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|glowing eyes]], these indicate a character going into Subspace or otherwise manifesting the Submissive Spirit.

* [[Worf Effect]]: {{spoiler|Judicatrix seems to have been introduced as an implacable enforcer for the Association exclusively for the purpose of being beaten by Butterfly, showing off the latter's strength.}}

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Laura and Ginger early on. They since seem to have melded together with Sixx into a [[Nakama]].

** Happens again when {{spoiler| Butterfly attempts to hit Sixx while she is channeling Laura's submissive aura.}}

** The author posted in October 2010 that the length of the "spanking contest" arc had made him realize he needed to work on his pacing.

* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: Set up in-world -- on Sybion, it is assumed to be the woman's fault if she does not produce a male child, even though only the man can contribute the Y-chromosome necessary to make this happen. This is deliberate, since on Sybion men are held to be [[Double Standard|above reproach]].

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Blonde, Red, Black, Blue, Purple, and Green.
