This is the relationship page for Satanick and Ivlis.
== Canon Timeline ==
=== Overview ===
 Satanick and Ivlis have a complicated relationship. When they first met, Satanick treated Ivlis without any thought, frequently torturing and sexually assaulting him to feed into his own sense of superiority. Ivlis in return loathed Satanick. However, as of now, Satanick is madly in love with Ivlis, and always seeks ways to romantically pursue him without taking no for an answer, whether it is regarding sex or other matters. This twisted sense of love is one Satanick seemingly learnt from his older brother Fumus.
Satanick and Ivlis have a son together named Licorice who was conceived during the events of Seaside Dispatches 1.
=== Meeting ===
After Ivlis suffered his defeat at the end of The Gray Garden, he was taken into captivity by Reficul. Reficul ended up introducing Ivlis to Satanick in supplementary artworks and mini-comics. Together, the two devils tortured Ivlis in a variety of ways as shown throughout the Devil-based comics. The first time Satanick saw Ivlis, he immediately fell in love, though he did not realize it at the time. Satanick originally thought Ivlis was the perfect toy to satisfy his spirit of sadism, so it took him a while to realize his actual feelings. Deep-Sea Prisoner plans to draw their first meeting. At first, Satanick is shown to relentlessly bully and insult Ivlis and his intellectual abilities. However, when Reficul permanently handed Ivlis over to Satanick, Satanick started getting more physical. Their first kiss was not a happy one; Ivlis was covered in blood and scars. Satanick was Ivlis' first sexual partner. Deep-Sea Prisoner further commented, "Ivlis was a sheltered man, so perhaps it is significant that he had never met anyone who would go for virgins." Satanick put himself on a higher moral ground than Ivlis, condemning his intentions of destroying the Gray Garden for his own selfish reasons. At first Ivlis tried to rebel against Satanick, but soon enough his spirit was so crushed he became akin to an emotionless doll. Ivlis reached his breaking point during the events of the comic ATTACK! Devil-ish Style, in which Satanick forced Ivlis to meet Siralos again, who took the chance to crush Ivlis' spirit, bringing him to tears.
Satanick used to call Ivlis pathetic, often addressing him with scornful nicknames such as "BuriBuri" and "Roach." When they first met, Satanick would also typically speak to Ivlis in a casual and rough manner. He would also refer to Ivlis with "omae." Seaside Dispatches 1 shows after Ivlis' breaking point, his self-loathing surpassing his hatred for Satanick. After this, he tried to assassinate the other devil, but Satanick was quicker and stopped him. By then, their relationship mainly took a more sexual turn. It is after these events Licorice was conceived by the two of them which was said to be consensual. . It has also been said Satanick fell in love with Ivlis throughout the events of Seaside Dispatches 1. 
=== Confession ===
After gaining his newfound romantic feelings, Satanick is seen grappling with them. Throughout Distorted Love 1 and Distorted Love 2, Satanick is seen disgusted and confused at the nature of his feelings, particularly ashamed by how he had developed a dependence on the very person he used to humiliate. He was having a hard time dealing with his sudden change of heart and seems to acknowledge the possibility his feelings were going to grow. Satanick appeared particularly uncomfortable at the idea of confessing his feelings and to earn confidence he attempts bringing the conversation up with Ivlis. However, Satanick wasn't able to confess and only grew more frustrated. Amidst his anger, he ended up hitting a clearly confused Ivlis. Afterwards, Satanick is seen in the company of his subordinate Yagi at the bar. Satanick is also seen drinking heavily, eliciting curiosity in Yagi, who asked him if something bad had happened with "the smoky bastard" - most likely referring to Fumus. However, Satanick desperately admits he is seeking for ways to make "the guy he tortured" like him. Yagi looked taken back, but nonetheless, suggested to drug and brainwash him. It was at this point where Satanick admitted he wanted Ivlis to genuinely reciprocate his feelings.
Later on, as Satanick tried to sleep, he became irritated with himself and decided to visit the Flame Underworld to meet Ivlis once again. There, he ends vomiting purple blood - with purple roses blooming around his horns - and passing out on Ivlis' lap. At that point, Satanick was unable to further ignore his feelings. Desperate and not knowing what to do, after much denial and contemplation, Satanick ended up confessing during the events of Distorted Love 2. This earned confusion from Ivlis who internally questioned the confession, stating he has "never been loved" in Truth.
=== Post-Confession ===
Over the course of the Rainbow comic, with the help of his wife Lil, Satanick seems to have finally accepted his feelings for Ivlis, deciding to indulge them. As such, he is often seeing acting shy and bashful around Ivlis, easily blushing if Ivlis takes the initiative or keeps up with him when something romantic is involved. Curious to know about Ivlis' feelings and sexuality, in the Truth comic Satanick asks his robot 4545 for help, resulting in the revelation Ivlis was still thinking about his father and creator Siralos. Satanick started having many doubts, fearing his love was going to be unrequited. However, 4545 reassured that Ivlis' heart has began "changing" since he met Satanick. To this day, Satanick is still trying to win Ivlis' love and their relationship has been shown to have changed. In the mini-comic Bone, Ivlis gets drunk and is more upfront with his feelings, sharing his genuine thoughts with Satanick. He confesses he does not believe Satanick's confession because "who would ever believe the words of a demon?" Furthermore, Ivlis tells Satanick that he is devoted only to Siralos, and if Satanick's words are true, then he could understand how Ivlis feels. However, Ivlis gets cut off by Satanick who, instead of revolving to violence like he used to, kisses Ivlis to make him stop talking. Satanick questions Ivlis as to why he no longer resists his sexual advances. Ivlis admits he cannot help it because Satanick made him this way. Ivlis retorts if Satanick is implying that he has feelings for him, he should not get ahead of himself.
It can be seen in various comics after the events of Distorted Love the relationship between Satanick and Ivlis has slowly started to change, with Ivlis trying to oppose Satanick more. He looks less frightened than in the past and is seen voicing his displeasure more often - although Satanick rarely takes it into consideration. Furthermore, Satanick does not seem to get as angry as before and seems like he has developed a soft spot for Ivlis. Their son Licorice also takes note of this change in Like Mother, Like Son. As of late, Satanick claims to be Ivlis' "understanding boyfriend" - a status he has bestowed upon himself. 
After Satanick realized that he loved Ivlis, he began using overly affectionate and clingy speech when addressing him. 
=== Daily Life ===
Concerning Satanick and Ivlis' daily lives, they are said to be "doing the do," spending a lot of time together. Satanick also seems rather possessive of Ivlis with it being said if Ivlis got another lover, Satanick's feelings "probably wouldn't end at just jealousy." Satanick is tolerant of his mistresses having affairs with other people, but he will not allow Ivlis to have a relationship with anyone other than himself. 
During Deep-Sea Prisoner's 17th drawing livestream, she stated Satanick loves Ivlis and Licorice very much. Satanick once proposed to have another child with Ivlis. When he was rejected, he reassured Ivlis by offering to be the one to have the baby. However, this has not occurred because Licorice does not want another sibling. Satanick frequently takes Ivlis out on dates, relentlessly pursuing his love through both romantic and sexual means. Furthermore, Satanick is often seen visiting Ivlis' world to spend the night together, sneaking into his room and declaring his wish to "make love with [Ivlis]". Satanick calls Ivlis "good boy" and continuously whispers to him "in bed," annoying Ivlis. Instead of pillow talk, Satanick whispers in Ivlis' ear the whole time. Some days Satanick will force Ivlis to wear "sexy underwear" and "make him do everything." He also likes to steal Ivlis' underwear and collect them. Satanick often buries his face in Ivlis' chest and takes a deep breath. Satanick also likes to use Ivlis' horns as handles; this results in fingerprints on Ivlis' horns and him frequently having to clean them. Ivlis can breathe fire like a dragon and once burned Satanick with it, almost burning his face off. While in Ne-no-Kuni, Satanick takes Ivlis on a ride in his flying car. 
 
 Satanick has been seen torturing Ivlis in various ways especially with medieval instruments. At some point he also ripped off all of the scales and claws of Ivlis. When asked why Satanick uses a knife to catch Ivlis when he is in a melancholic mood, Deep-Sea Prisoner commented he could easily catch him in a more efficient way but uses the knife because he is excited by and dependent on the sight of Ivlis being hurt and frightened. He feels secure when threatening him, thinking, "I'm able to move your emotions!" Ivlis had never been attacked before with clear malice until Satanick threatened him. It was traumatic and frightening, generating more excitement and dependence from Satanick. If they fought, Satanick would win. When asked if Ivlis knew about Satanick's other lovers, Deep-Sea Prisoner commented she would like to draw this in the future. When earlier asked how Ivlis would react to them, it was stated to be "left to imagination." When asked in a livestream comment if Ivlis would become Satanick's concubine, Deep-Sea Prisoner responded Satanick plans on making Ivlis into "official wife #2." Satanick plans all of this on his own, and Ivlis' opinion gets ignored. Ivlis is completely unaware Satanick has a wife or other lovers. He has had extremely little contact with people and is naïve. Satanick is described to be a yandere. Satanick also routinely plays naughty pranks on Ivlis. 
=== Future ===
When asked whether Satanick would ever apologize to Ivlis, Deep-Sea Prisoner speculated perhaps he might one day genuinely apologize for his past actions. She added Ivlis has complicated feelings regarding Satanick, but at some point, he might accept Satanick's apology. Furthermore, she stated, "In this world, there are a lot of relationships in which two people can be together even if they don't always completely forgive each other." However, if Ivlis were to refuse Satanick's apology, Satanick would likely become severely depressed.

=== Oiran (AU) ===
The Oiran AU features Ivlis as an oiran named Buriran. Having incurred the wrath of Siralos, who is a shogun, he was sold off to a yūkaku called Mogewara, a wordplay on Yoshiwara. While Buriran grieves, Satanick, who is a daimyo, meets him and takes a liking to him upon first sight. Satanick begins to travel to Mogewara again and again to meet Buriran, eating and talking with him a few times before sleeping with him as per the custom. Eventually, Satanick pays a large amount of money to take Buriran as his wife. Licorice is later born after the two are wed. 
In this AU, Ivlis is not forced into anything as Satanick and him are "lovey-dovey" with each other.
