YMMV / Satan and Me

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Premise: This comic is about a girl who accidentally summons Satan. He's then forced to live with her because she refuses to release him on the basis that keeping him captive prevents him from going around causing trouble. Slice of Life hijinks and occasional drama ensue. That alone isn't an alienating premise (unless you're not into demons), but the specific method she unwittingly uses is — she summoned him by menstruating onto a pad that the manufacturers accidentally printed an insignia on. Ironically, the series came about in the first place specifically because some Tumblr users were musing that it'd be a funny idea for a webcomic. The trope's also lampshaded by the username of the Tumblr blog that hosts it — "thisiskindagross".
  • Crack Ship: The chats in the livestreams have a tendency to ship Satan with any and every inanimate object in sight.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: A lot of minor characters get a lot more attention than would be expected, but some notable ones are:
    • Felix and Anthea: They were only going to be very, very minor characters, but Felix at least was popular almost the moment he was drawn. Anthea's popularity came a little later. Now they're both actually pretty important to the plot.
    • The medic angels spawned quite a bit of fanart.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Though it could be argued that Zadkiel's moral event horizon was when they stabbed Raphael, it more likely was when they cut their hand to further poison him with their blood.
  • The Scrappy: Jericho. In a story where there are literal demons, jerk angels and freaking Lucifer, a human is easily one of the most disliked characters in the story. Granted, he entered a relationship with Natalie solely to make it easier for him to kidnap her, bring her to Titus so he could use her to lure Satan and he did it because he felt that Satan had become too soft by being tied to Natalie, so he wanted Lucifer to be replaced by someone he deemed was more worthy of the title.
  • Shipping Bed Death: The nature of Nat and Satan's relationship, romantic or platonic, was originally to be revealed in the final update. This was changed to a Relationship Upgrade at the end of the fourth arc, which kills the more interesting Will They or Won't They? dynamic.
