A page to talk about what I like in great detail. A counter-balance to the DNW page. What does my freudian ID crave about huge sweaty knockers?

I like exploring characters as different genders. Not just male or female, but sometimes a third secret thing.

My genderbends are not cis-swaps, nor necessarily trans headcanons.

Genderbends appeal to me in two main ways:

• Character design exercise. It's fun to add a lil estrogen or testosterone (or both!) and think about how it would shape the body. Would a buff dude be a buff woman? Or would the hyper-masculinity translate into hyper-femininity so they'd be a big booba lady? Neither is wrong. I usually prefer to retain the same body type on the character, and just distribute the fat differently.
• Joker society exercise. If this character was treated as x, y, or z gender, would their personality differ? Were they treated differently growing up as another gender? What do other people expect of them? How does that affect their self image?

I usually turn boy characters into girls. I think I have more fun with the girl gender expression's clothes and hair. I also LOVE making yuri between characters by zapping one or more of them with the genderbend laser. I don't mind f/m or m/m genderbends either.

I like stories focused on older characters. Older is relative, but I do really enjoy narratives on 50+ characters.

I don't really find interest in kid characters, especially in school settings like Hogwarts or like… Naruto ninja school. I find Peter Parker more interesting, for example, when he's struggling to pay rent with his crappy job.

Older characters tend to be more interesting to me, because the older they are, the more life experience they have to play with in their personality and interactions! And it's fun to contrast their personality against younger characters. Especially if you know what the older character was like when they were younger.

This is one of the appeals of stories like DragonBall to me actually! Watching the characters grow up, get older, develop their personalities, and have dynamic relationships with other characters. It's also why I like music RPF a lot, it's partially character development and partially historical context.

I also just think older characters are fun to draw! I like drawing defined faces, wrinkles, sag, bones, and all the affects of time. Espcecially if I get to contrast that with their younger version.

There is something very visually striking about just a person's head that I like. It reminds me of hunting trophies, or the Jungle Predator ripping out spines, or Vlad the Impaler's grim totems. There is a lot of symbolic resonance to play with.

In a fantasical setting, I really enjoy conscious talking heads. Even after being cut off, they don't stop yapping! You can carry them around, you can keep them in the fridge, you can cuddle them to sleep. A head is a good size! And the head is the part that retains the character's appeal if they don't die during decapitation - the brain is the personality, and the face is their identity! And through horror magic, their neck stump has vocal cords and will be their voice ❤️

Notable talking heads:

• BLU Spy Head
• Dr. Hill from Re-Animator
• Lollipop Chainsaw boyfriend

I like the visual contrast of a relatively small top, and a bigger, taller, or wider bottom. Muscular, fat, or just lanky is all cool.

There is something that tickles my brain about being “allowed” to top, since the larger person can more than likely simply push you out bounds with their ass. A confident bigger bottom is cool! Snoo snoo!

In darker contexts, it tickles my brain for a more physically imposing character to give in to a smaller person. Especially if it involves emotional turmoil, guilt, and shame on the unconfident bigger bottom. Especially if all the larger physical presence doesn't matter when their emotions are played with.

I like the high gloss black shine of latex and leather.

Leather is texturally tougher, and I enjoy the contrast of the tight spots with the gathered flesh. It is a better, more sturdy material for collars and harnesses because you can pull them harder. Leather is more casual than latex, and implies a certain music associated subculture to me. It makes for cute outfits for metalheads, glam rockers, and biker characters.

Latex is slick and smooth. I like the inhuman, dehumanized look. Especially with full-body latex and latex hoods. It is more deliberate than leather, because it takes effort (and a lot of baby powder!) to put on, and can only be found from specialty vendors. So it says something about a character who has latex clothing. It is a delicate, high maintenance material, so it fits more with fancy dress events and special nights.
