[[File:DCP1_8713.jpg|frame|Sexy demons, BDSM, and a mistress looking for new souls.<ref>From left to right: Victoria, Noelle, and Caley.</ref>]]
''[[Demon Candy: Parallel]]'' is a NSFW bondage-fetish fantasy webcomicweb comic by [http://lorddragonmaster.deviantart.com/ Lord Dragon Master] about an 18-year old man named Jonathan who accidentally sells his soul for a Klondike Bar and attempts to win it back by living with Victoria, the Succubus Queen, for one year, while resisting her attempts to enslave him.
 
The story starts with Jonathan, an ordinary 18-year old human, being hassled by a woman named Noelle. Noelle is is doing a survey on what people would be willing to sell their souls for, and is harassing him about it. In an attempt to get rid of her, he says jokingly that he would sell his soul for a Klondike bar, [[Don't Explain the Joke|a reference to the popular ad jingle for said bars.]] [[Literal Genie|Noelle then gives him the bar and leaves.]] That night, Noelle breaks into Jonathan's room to claim his soul.
Line 11:
* Noelle: A human-turned-succubus. Has finished training to be a submissive, and is now training to be a switch.
* Victoria: The Succubus Queen and one of the leaders of Hell... And owner of Noelle and Johnathan.
* Caley: A fallen angel who occasionally visits. {{spoiler|Eventually becomes one of Victoria's subs, after her master gives her to Victoria's rival, only for Victoria to realize no one's laid claim to Caley's ''permanent'' allegienceallegiance in the form of a demon mark.}}
 
The webcomicweb comic is available in print up to the first eleven chapters in two volumes at Lulu. There are [https://www.deviantart.com/lorddragonmaster/art/Banner-2016-610390577 fifteen chapters] on [[DeviantArt]].

-----
* [[A -Cup Angst]]: Noelle is ''not'' happy when Jonathan's [[Gender Bender|Gender-Bent]] form turns out to be bustier than she is.
 
This [[Web Comic]] includes examples of:
 
* [[A Cup Angst]]: Noelle is ''not'' happy when Jonathan's [[Gender Bender|Gender-Bent]] form turns out to be bustier than she is.
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Chapter 14 focuses heavily on Noelle, whilst guest character Rael recieves some attention in Chapter 7.
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Victoria is ''not'' a nice, middle aged looking [[Housewife]]-type.<ref>Ok, so she is, but...</ref> In reality she's a demon queen, a being who rules a very ''large'' portion of Hell and is one of the most powerful creatures ''in all of existence.'' Jon walks in on her casually releasing her full power (sans any [[Battle Aura]] or emotion behind it) and is immediately stricken with so much terror that he can't even stand up.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: As explained in the title, ''Demon Candy'' is the original series, which revolves around Jon turning into some form of Incubus [[The Messiah|Messiah]]. DCP is a comedic side story with the same characters in an alternate situation. [[Adaptation Displacement|The original series has all but been forgotten.]]
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|Noelle to Jonathan in Chapter 14}}.
Line 43 ⟶ 38:
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Caley. Stupid [[The Ditz|ditzy]] angel bimbo, right? {{spoiler|Bwhahaha, [[Obfuscating Stupidity|wrong]]. She's lived for millennia, spending most of that time watching every single act humanity has done, for good or bad. Every single disgusting, hidden fetish, she's seen done in a thousand different ways. She ''chose'' to give up heaven so she could ''try some of them out herself.'' The stupidity? An act (mostly), because she's [[The Hedonist]].}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: But it does have a BDSM fetish. (Justified in that the non-[[Horny Devils]] seem to be ambivalent to the whole thing, and the [[Horny Devils]] would, justifiably, be [[A Worldwide Punomenon|kinky as hell.]])
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Chapter 14 focuses heavily on Noelle, whilst guest character Rael recieves some attention in Chapter 7.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: What started everything. Compounded by the fact that Jonathan keeps making more deals with Victoria despite knowing that it'll probably end badly for him. Amusingly, Vicki has not tried to make any deals ''[[Exact Time to Failure|extending his time with her]]'', which strikes some in the fanbase a bit odd.
* [[Death Course]]: Of a sort. Chapter 13 revolves around the Pandora, a [[Magitek]] device built specifically to test and break recalcitrant subs. It is [[Bigger Onon the Inside]] and contains a medley of devices and challenges, and can recalculate after measuring the reactions to any test in order to adapt itself. According to Noelle, nobody has ever beaten it. [[Oh Crap|And now Jonathan is inside it.]] {{spoiler|He doesn't beat it.}}
** {{spoiler|And yet he vows to fight on even though his denial has been shattered. His reserve of determination seems endless.}}
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Inverted with Caley, who could watch every single element of human culture, even the dark parts, but couldn't join in. The boredom drove her a little bonkers, and she decided to voluntarily fall from grace so she could ''join in'' on the Decadence. This also adds an element to her character -- she acts like a ditz (and might indeed be one), but she is ''very'' wise about ''every'' dark aspect of the human soul, as seen when she gives Jon a lecture on why otherwise ordinary guys enjoy [[Wholesome Crossdresser|crossdressing.]]
Line 51 ⟶ 47:
** {{spoiler|Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the latest chapter, where Jonathan insists he's going to keep trying to get his soul back even after being forced to admit that he enjoys his current predicament.}}
* [[The Dragon]]: High ranking demons have both a Right and Left Hand, [[Co-Dragons|their two most loyal followers]], in this position. Victoria already has Noelle as her Right, and would clearly love to have Jonathan as her Left, if Chapters 10 and 11 are anything to go by.
* [[Dragon Withwith an Agenda]]: It has been repeatedly hinted within the comic (and outright confirmed by [[Word of God]] outside) that Noelle has her own agenda where Jonathan is concerned. Indeed, Noelle went to the human world on her own initiative and not because Vicki ordered her to.
** It's heavily insinuated that the "agenda" is that she fell for Jon at one time or another, and wants him as her own personal slave / boyfriend.
* [[Dressed All in Rubber]]: [[Running Gag|We finally have a trope for it.]] Jon literally hasn't worn anything ''but'' latex since the start of the comic, even the ''dog costume'' he was forced into was made of it. The latest chapter has Caley and Jon literally dressed in nothing but [[Fetish Fuel|skintight latex footey-pajamas]] / [[Space Clothes]] as they're sent to their latest adventure.
* [[Enemy Within]]: The latest story arc has Jon being placed in "Pandora", sort of a VR Simulator designed to test submissives in training. Inside of it, Jon faces [[Theme Park Version|Theme Park Versions]] of the various trials and experiences he's been put through. Except the last one, which is a [[Mirror Match|mirror image of himself brought to life]], with the one difference that Mirror!Jon is openly accepting of every dirty little aspect of their psyche that Jon is desperately repressing.
** It then turns out that Mirror!Jon was {{spoiler|Victoria hidden by an illusion}}, who lectures and points out that, for all his complaining, [[I Choose to Stay|he chooses to keep his collar on]], when all he would have to do is take it off and leave... which means that deep down, he enjoys the goings on at the mansion. Jon makes the mistake of looking back at the past few months and realizes [[Oh Crap|Mirror!Jon has a point]], which leads to {{spoiler|Victoria and Jon's first kiss.}}
{{quote| '''Jon:''' "It's... All true..."<br />
'''Mirror!Jon:''' "I know Jonathan... but [[I Am What I Am|I needed you to know]]..." }}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards|Even Horny Devils Have Standards]]: Victoria might be the queen of all the [[Horny Devils]], a literal anthropomorphic personification of lust and perversion, but doing something BDSM related with a 5 year old Jon never even enters her mind. (She does, however, daydream about leaving him that way to take [[The Slow Path]] back, allowing her to raise him as a submissive from the ground up. She declines, [[Noble Demon|cause that wouldn't be fair to him.]])
Line 63 ⟶ 59:
* [[Fantastic Arousal]]: Jonathan's tail is apparently very sensitive. Noelle enjoys pulling it on occasion.
* [[Fetish Fuel]]: Every. Single. Panel. We have bondage, cross dressing, pet roleplay, gender bending, female domination, rubber, D/S, and much more. Each chapter focuses on a specific fetish and/or interpersonal relationship. (Chapter 13, for example, is Jon/Caley, Chapter 14 is going to be Noelle's first chance to "tame" him solo, etc.)
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Victoria is ''not'' a nice, middle aged looking [[Housewife]]-type.<ref>Ok, so she is, but...</ref> In reality she's a demon queen, a being who rules a very ''large'' portion of Hell and is one of the most powerful creatures ''in all of existence.'' Jon walks in on her casually releasing her full power (sans any [[Battle Aura]] or emotion behind it) and is immediately stricken with so much terror that he can't even stand up.
* [[Gender Bender]]: Jon puts on a pair of ''succubus'' horns as a favor to Vicki, after some foreshadowing of horns turning whatever half-demon who wears them into the same general body shape of the original owner of the horns. Enter Joani, who ''really'' wishes she had paid closer attention to that last bit...
* [[Getting Smilies Painted Onon Your Soul]]: What Vicki is ultimately aiming for with her plans for Jonathon. Whatever the methods, after Chapter 11 it's clear she has his happiness as her primary goal.
** Which is a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you realize that since Vicki owns Jonathon's soul, she knows ''explicitly'' that he is submissive at heart, what kinks he enjoys, etc. She just has to get him into a place where he's willing to admit it all to her.
* [[Go-Go Enslavement]]: See the [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] entry.
* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: Victoria's goal is to show that not only is this possible, but desirable in Jonathan's case. So far, [[Determinator|she's]] [[Heroic Willpower|not]] [[Static Character|having]] [[The Immune|much]] [[Defiant to Thethe End|luck]].
** Nevertheless, he's slipping and has nearly given in once or twice. [[Oh Crap|And he still has four months left...]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: Jon, who as of the start of Chapter 13, slept through Victoria stripping him nude and dressing him inside a full body latex catsuit. (Although it should be noted that, as we saw during the [[Gender Bender]] chapter, Vicki does have magical Liquid Latex potions.)
* [[The Hedonist]]:
* [[The Hedonist]]:* Caley. She spent so much time watching humans have sex from heaven that she decided to flee paradise so she could try out some of the fetishes she had observed.
** Everyone except Jon due to it being part of the [[Horny Devils]] package.
* [[The Hedonist]]: Everyone except Jon due to it being part of the [[Horny Devils]] package.* Jon too, due to him being (technically) an Incubus... but he resists. Making him open up to this lifestyle is Victoria's main goal.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Jon gets several, mostly when he finds his resistance slipping. {{spoiler|Chapter 13 results in him looking back and realizing that he actually has been enjoying himself... which leads to his biggest one so far.}}
** {{spoiler|He has another one later on in the same chapter after forcibly leaving subspace. It's actually quite nightmarish and not played for comedy, and Vicki has to help him out of it with a [[Cooldown Hug]].}}
Line 79:
** [[Chekhov's Gun|Comes back in a big way during Chapter 13.]] {{spoiler|The reason she changed the subject is that he hadn't gotten enough experience being submissive yet, once he had to the point that he couldn't deny it once it was brought up, she ''then'' let him face the cold fact that for all his complaints, ''he's still choosing to stay.''}}
* [[I Love You Because I Can't Control You]]: Vicki's fascination with Jonathon stems mostly from this. He's lasted the longest out of anyone...so far.
* [[The Immune]]: Jonathan is immune to direct [[Mind Control]] and highly resistant to conventional sub training. Turned into an actual superpower in full demon mode, with physical injuries [[Ret -Gone|dissapearing after a few seconds]].
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: All of the clothes are based on real life fetish wear, albeit dialed up to 11 in some cases. Anything in the comic could be cosplayed at the worlds most kinky comic book convention.
* [[James Bondage]]: Hahahahhaaa... '''''Jon.''''' In a twist, he's ''never'' in any danger while in his situations, due to Vicki being a [[Noble Demon|consumate professional.]]
Line 99:
* [[Oh Crap]]: Any time Jon is caught enjoying what he's being made to do, surprised by someone catching him do something on his own, or when he realizes exactly what the current game will involve. Special mention for the look on his face when he walks in on Victoria unleashing her full power for the first time, she dials it back before he has a breakdown but even the few seconds of it he sees leaves him a simpering, terrified mess. Double special mention for when Noelle catches him and agrees not to tell Vicki for an unspecified favor later on.
** Happens to Vicki too, when {{spoiler|she realises who Lilith is using as a sub for their little duel...}}
* [[Older Than They Look]]: A magic clock makes Jon into a cute little boy. And since [[The Mind Is a Plaything of Thethe Body]], he has to constantly remind himself not to ''act'' like a cute little boy.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Victoria, who instead of living in the main part of Hell as properly befitting the leader of the Succubi is living in an Earthlike area with an Earthlike mansion, ignoring her responsibilities and hordes of [[Horny Devils]] and Slaves in lieu of training 3 hand picked ones. {{spoiler|She's specifically called out on this by Lilith, who actually gets half of hell's ruling council to agree that she has to go.}}
** {{spoiler|Fortunately, upon getting to know Jon / "Joani", they agree that he's interesting enough to warrant the personal attention she's giving him.}}
* [[Property of Love]]: A clear instance of Type C.
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: The first few chapters had the occasional typo and mis-chosen word, which turned into the author's personal [[Berserk Button]] pretty quickly. Later chapters are much better, the impression is that the artist is no longer typing directly into his image editing software.
Line 107 ⟶ 109:
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Well, duh. (The only trope more common in the comic is [[Bound and Gagged]].)
** Ok, it's less [[Spy Catsuit]] and more "Kinky Rubber Fetish-wear", but [[Reality Ensues|we don't have a trope for that.]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Here and there, the Peter Pan reference from chapter twelve being the most obvious.
** Not to mention a few [[My Little Pony]] references in Chapter 14.
* [[Static Character]]: An actual superpower of Jon's unique type of soul -- he bounces back from anything done to him (in this case, a magical whip cannot leave marks on his body for more than a few seconds). This makes him an unbelievable prize to a domme, as by definition it means he submits out of his own will, no tricks needed.
Line 113 ⟶ 115:
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Victoria is a Type 1, nearly always keeping a tight rein on her emotions. It takes a lot to put a dent in it, like {{spoiler|geniunely hurting someone she cares about.}}
* [[Take a Third Option]]: In Chapter 15, Jonathan has to decide which outfit (male or female) to wear to the ball, [http://lorddragonmaster.deviantart.com/#/d4uk5fw and he decides to wear both.]
* [[The Hedonist]]: Everyone except Jon due to it being part of the [[Horny Devils]] package. Jon too, due to him being (technically) an Incubus... but he resists. Making him open up to this lifestyle is Victoria's main goal.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Victoria, who instead of living in the main part of Hell as properly befitting the leader of the Succubi is living in an Earthlike area with an Earthlike mansion, ignoring her responsibilities and hordes of [[Horny Devils]] and Slaves in lieu of training 3 hand picked ones. {{spoiler|She's specifically called out on this by Lilith, who actually gets half of hell's ruling council to agree that she has to go.}}
** {{spoiler|Fortunately, upon getting to know Jon / "Joani", they agree that he's interesting enough to warrant the personal attention she's giving him.}}
* [[There Is Only One Bed]]: Jon is somewhat dismayed to discover Vicki's guest house only has one giant bed. He's actually lucky that he's given a bedroom to himself in her mansion in Limbo -- although given that Victoria has threatened to take away his ''clothing and underwear privileges'' if he misbehaves, privacy might be the least of his worries.
** Fortunately for him, he was a girl at the time (long story), so it was completely a-ok! ... [[Les Yay|right?]]
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: Very rarely, Johnathan will escape whatever surprise Victoria has prepared for him. Like the transformation potion that Caley ended up drinking instead. [[Failure Is the Only Option|He still got punished for wasting one of Vicki's potions, though]].
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Caley, being a fallen angel, has trouble differentiating between pleasure and pain, leading to this trope.
** This was actually shown to be extremely dangerous for her, since she wouldn't know when enough is enough and that [[Bastard Girlfriend|Lillith]] isn't quite as caring as [[Noble Demon|Victoria]], so inverted trope.
Line 130 ⟶ 129:
* [[Weakness Turns Her On]]
* [[Whip It Good]]
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 13. {{spoiler|Jonathan realises he enjoys bondage and BDSM, and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|is kissed by Victoria.]]}}
** Chapter 14. {{spoiler|Noelle kisses Jonathan, and confesses that she specifically targeted him due to a combination of [[Love At First Sight]] and recognizing a kindred -- and lost -- soul in him.}}
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: This happens to Johnathan in one chapter. Almost caused him to give in to Victoria, but [[Determinator|managed to hang on by the skin of his teeth]].
