Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Teahouse was an adult (18+) yaoi webcomic from Emirain, two professional comic artists. First issue is online at the Teahouse comic website.(NSFW) A fuller version was also available for purchase.The webcomic illustrates the lives of the owner, courtesans, and clients of a brothel called the Teahouse, located in the fictional country of Ivore. The country itself has a rather rigid class system in place, and the courtesans belong to the brothel's owner, much like slaves. The main source of drama is the three couples of the series: Atros, the brothel's owner and Linneus, his childhood friend, now his courtesan, Rhys, the crown prince of the country and Axis, an easily-irritable high-earning employee of the Teahouse, and Rory, a newcomer and virgin to the Toyhouse and his first employee, Reed, a high-ranking lord and Rhys's best friend. Surrounding these couples is a wide variety of personalities, keeping it all interesting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And, you know, the Fanservice.The art is impressive, especially for a webcomic, and it ran in a weekly format (just barely though, as the authors dealt with a lot of real life issues, thus putting the comic on constant mini-hiatuses, resulting in a lot of Fan Dumb and white knighting), and occasional double update months.On November 26, 2014, the series abruptly ended. Five chapters were published of the projected fifteen to twenty. A full summary of the unpublished plots of the three couples and the additional characters is available on the webcomic's Tumblr. | |

| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Axis' early outburst "The day you replace me as top earner is the day I give a shit about what you think!" Axis seems to realise this, as he adamantly insist on bringing Rory down every time they are in the same room. The bit with Axis blushing (NSFW) after Rhys pushes his hair aside when he fails to respond to a snarky remark, screams Tempting Fate in regards his eventual relationship with Rhys. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: In Chapter 5 Atros tries to sell Linneus's contract to Liard, Linneus's longtime client. When Linneus yells at him for treating him like property and not like a person, Atros levels him with an accusation that Linneus chose to become a courtesan eight years prior instead of being with Atros, when Atros's father gave him the ultimatum. Whether or not this accusation is true or not is still unclear, as Linneus ran away from the argument without refuting it, and then is shown in Chapter 6 still entertaining clients and still not have resolved this issue with Atros. | |

| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_1ec3eb0a | comment |
Take Our Word for It: The extent of Mercutio's kinky appointments used to be only ever described/alluded to until Chapter 3 was released in print. That said, what is said in the free online content (including the revelation of his extensive sex toy collection) and others' reactions towards him makes one wonder what kinds of appointments he takes. | |

Slave Brand | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_25093f95 | comment |
Slave Brand: All courtesans are branded with a tattoo of their brothel's insignia on their feet. (Apparently repeatedly, as tattoos there last a month or so. Ouch.) Axis has several brands, which seems to indicate he belonged to other brothels before coming to the Teahouse. It's also possible that he ran away and was rebranded as punishment... But seeing how much he loves his job... | |

Sex Slave | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_362461f6 | comment |
Sex Slave: Or in the comic's terminology, courtesans. Terminology aside, they are all legally owned by Xanthe, they aren't allowed to leave the grounds without specific permission, and own no property apart from any tips or gifts they may be personally given by clients. Xanthe gets all the money they earn, and at least in Linneus' case, he also doesn't shy from taking over gifts for "lost profit". | |

Bait the Dog: Introduced not drastically different from any others, Gilder was the only person to be unconditionally kind to Linneus. Then in chapter 5 he's seen killing a rich man and robbing his corpse to pay for another session with his favourite courtesan. This bodes not well for the future. | |

Anchored Ship: Atros and Linneus... it's clear that Linneus loves Atros very much, but Atros' emotion towards him ranges from cool and polite to downright frigid and uninterested. In the latest installments Argent (in one of her only lines in the comic) states that a line was crossed when Atros called Linneus his "whore", resulting in even more tension between the two. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: boy, is this loaded with tangles. Everyone who's involved in the main arch (Linneus, Xanthe, and by extension their other lovers, wives, and customers) is screwed by the simple fact that whatever happens, including nothing happening, most of them will be screwed over. The only characters who don't perform dickmoves are the few who are either detached or high enough on Cloud Cuckoo Land to not notice or not care about other's issues. | |

Uke | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_83446c8a | comment |
Uke: Gets played with more than Seme. Linneus follows the archetype faithfully, being very effeminate and a gentle personality, while Axis is a tempestuous ladies' man, very loud about his heterosexual preferences, and not happy at all about submitting to Rhys, only to turns into a stereotypically blushing, if not built, uke in an instant during some sex, or when he's careless enough to think of Rhys with less than fervent contempt. | |

| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_870bbf64 | comment |
Show, Don't Tell: Occasionally, the scenery speaks for itself. Special points for Atros' dollhouse-like mansion, which feels both too small and too big. It's stuffed full of teddy bears, ribbons, frills and many portraits of his (wife Yvette, displaying both her woeful immaturity, her father's money and Xanthe's placelessness there. | |

Buxom Is Better | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_89295a38 | comment |
Buxom Is Better: Claret's dress especially emphasizes her assets, and Axis does seem to prefer her for this very reason. Rhys also makes a point of stating that his fiancee has a lovely (massive) set. Inverted or averted when it comes to the tastes of the customers - although she is the most well-endowed of the female characters, she is the lowest earner in the house. | |

Barbie Doll Anatomy | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_9d1cc720 | comment |
Barbie Doll Anatomy: Now and then, due to that explicit content is kept out of the web version and some panels have alternate versions in print. Usually nakedness is simply clothed and explicit sex scenes omitted altogether for the web version, but sometimes nakedness is necessitated by the scene, resulting in hollow groins. For instance, when Reed is naked with Rory. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Alt Texts aside, this does happen in the work proper as well. For instance, one scene ends with Rhys leaving his grieving sister with his dying father, either to escape the anxiety and the depressing athmosphere, or to bang a whore, or perhaps both... Then in the next scene there's a lil' blushing Rory being all naive and silly. And cupcakes. | |

Happiness in Slavery | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_a58802b7 | comment |
Happiness in Slavery: Although the exact terms are unclear, the courtesans are slaves with their titles being held by Xanthe, which can be bought or sold at any time. They are branded on the feet, are not allowed to leave the Teahouse without permission, and don't really have the right to refuse a client. Despite that, at least Mercutio seems happy doing his thing. Claret doesn't seem to mind either, but she's not having many clients and those she's shown having are handsome young studs who compliment her. For Axis, Word of God confirms whoring as his dream job. Linneus on the other hand seems to be unhappy, although that may be due to his Unrequited Love for Atros (or Atros treating him like an object via domestic abuse). Lilith takes pride in being a top earner, but whether she actually enjoys or dislikes her job is anyones guess. | |

Idealized Sex | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_af3ff126 | comment |
Idealized Sex: as is standard for not-so-serious erotica. No lube, ever. The closest the work's come to using lube for lube-dependant sexual activities (and there have been a number of those) was a dab of spit, once. To set the mood, probably. Easiness and enjoyability of anal stimulation with very, very virgin debutant whores. | |

Uptown Girl | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_c3286b8e | comment |
Uptown Girl: Gender-inverted. Atros is far higher in status than Linneus, who was given to Atros' father in lieu of payment for a gambling debt. Rhys is about to become the King of the land, and Reed is a wealthy merchant if not nobility or related to rich, so their respective relationships with Axis and Rory fall neatly under this. Linneus rakes in the chips as a high-charging boytoy, whereas Gilder lives from commission to commission and likely owns little else than his tools-of-trade as he blows his earnings on booze and whores. Cherished pet in gilded cage versus rugged stray anyone? | |

Monochrome Casting | |
| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_ce0b2b21 | comment |
Monochrome Casting: Most of the characters are light of skin, or at the most, a bit tan. Two or three very background characters look coloured, and Word of God has stated that Ivore is a non-Earth location and simply doesn't have as many non-white people as Earth. This has been pointed out, of course, and the creators have given their explanation; so far it seems they have no intention to add more skin colour diversity to any layer of characters than perviously intended. | |

| Teahouse (Webcomic) / int_d72b162f | comment |
Technicolor Eyes: a wide range, as befits a world with naturally blue-, green- and pink-haired people. Claret's are lavender, Argent's are red due to her albinism, and Xanthe and Axis have golden eyes. Linneus has unique, electric-baby-blue eyes, which are quite striking, but rare in real life. Sacha has one similar blue eye and a light leaf-green one. Rhys' fiance has gorgeous, green-gold eyes. | |
