Is that where the word concubine comes from? That's cool, til

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hmm... What about universalserialbus?

[–] Bashnagdul@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

They go on top, then bottom then top again or vice versa.

In D&D lore (and probably other lore as well) a succubus can change into an incubus and vice versa. They can choose however they look and decide if they are a top or a bottom.

So they're really more like a switchubus

I looked it up for you, it's the same in Pathfinder :)

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Succubi and Incubi are genderless. They take the form you are most likely to sleep with in that given moment.

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

I mean, they don't exist anyways and someone made that up at some point so why not make up another cooler version.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The only issue I have with the tops/bottoms interpretation is that at least some depictions incubi/succubi have them as the same demon - the succubus will extract material, then inject it as an Incubus, which is how baby demons are made.

That's just one interpretation of them, though, go wild with it!

Incubus is now a task. I'm incubussing tonight, but sucubussing tomorrow.

About to buss

Nice sucubussy

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What? No.... Incubus is a band, and they Wish You Were Here.

Hmmm I don't speak Latin, but if the word has the same meaning as Italian, "incubare" is more "to hold inside", see incubator.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

The Italian must have shifted in meaning then, since the Latin seems to be "lay on or in". English "incubate" comes from this meaning in the sense of (hens) laying on eggs.

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

How about those who at times lie under and then lie on?

"inter-", "trans-," or "pan-"?

"inter-cubus," "trans-cubus", and/or "pan-cubus"?

(maybe "omnicubus")

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Instead of coming up with labels just ask the demons what they want to be called.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 1 month ago

'Early and Often'

They might be a bit narcissistic.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I always liked "Fuccubus/fuccubi" for gender-neutral sex demons.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shouldn't sides be concubi?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

con = 'with', cubius (or whatever hell-declension Latin has in any specific context) = 'lie down'
