Theme Dance: Kidgore
Ok, this one’s more meta than a full story, but I am such a metanerd. So this will be me brainstorming on a theme, and exploring it with tiny story tidbits. Just letting the imp in my brain run wild for a while.
So WTF would kidgore be? I have no idea, but I originally thought it up as kidcore execution. But Kidgore makes a more fun genre name. it’s such a dumb word like toyetic I immediately fall in love with it. So how would I imagine it: It’s a very ‘toyetic’ execution. Like, what you’d see if Saturday morning cartoons would do one. Also some ideas of sissification and punishment. I guess Ero-Guro is that perfect line as well, erotic gore. It’s very ‘snuffie’ usually, but you don’t have to assume people somehow come back. But often a bit of a ‘extra lives’ vibe, hence why would you do these ridiculous things otherwise =3
So some ideas. One is that the punishment has a very elaborate stage. It can be something like a military base’s hangar a la Metal Gear Solid, chunky and set like. A sort of kinky execution roleplay as villain and hero in either direction in a cartoon style or fanfiction is always a cute way to get some kidcore vibes. This might really be called Cartoon Peril. Cause you know, that dip scene was kinky wrong >.>
The other thought I had instead of a ‘action cartoon’ is a very, sissified, pampered, slight humiliation play kind of vibe. Somewhere kind of public. You get the full spa treatment, hair done up, makeup, the works, and then padded up. Often with ridiculously elaborate, overpadded diapers. Lots of lace and stockings and gloves, maybe even a little kids style princess dress. Pretty cuffs with rhinestones and a princess castle ala fisher price vibe. A colorful plastic cover over the metal support beneath it. Comes with winching crane action. Have a hangmom in big dress attending to you as she ushers you up a flight of stairs and past the yellow warning stripes of the trapdoor.Plastic coated metal warm under bare feet as you’re ushered to the edge of trapdoor in your ridiculous waddly princess outfit.
Whether it’s private play like some sort of silly second life instance, or some sort of public-humiliation punishment is a diverting point. I like the public-humiliation punishment. Especially ridiculous things like “Lost a library book” sign around a hanging corpse. But the equipment should feel like, some sort of weird thing like if The Addams Family sold yard play equipment. But always a dom sub relation. The sub pet is being punished and going to be set hanging by their supernatural master, so they can enjoy watching you strangle to death in public. Sometimes with just, kinky perverted overtones. Naughty kids get the punish chair.
Of course, on inkbunny for theme naming, so yeah, can be kids. School gallows action is always a popular Dolcett motif. Which this is, I suppose, Faerie Dolcett. Yes, I TV Trope often, and must OCD my kinky snuff smut.
How cartoonish you want is the probably the biggest choice. Some of it can go real casual, even into LitRPG: see your life meter go down one and respawn in the morning. But a kinky dolcett execution dance as a perverted cyberpunk crime lord is a way to make it ‘serious’.
There is always ritual to the hanging itself. Very slow and relaxed pace, sometimes even openly fondling the victim. But Also making sure the victim knows that yes, they are really going to die here, and very shortly. About to crinkle dance your way to heaven wearing ballet slippers and a tutu over huge crinkly overstuffed diaper. Tugging on actual plastic toy cuffs, but props designed to be strong enough to hold up to some struggling. Typically all the BDSM props. Ankle cuffs, knee straps, cuffed hands behind back, chest straps holding upper arms to your sides. Gagged, noosed, and hooded. Hood designs either being designed to your specifications (get measured up the day before and watch it be sewn) or something thick and big enough to work for the usual furry head. Cartoonish, Tshirt like designs can be fun, like, what you’d expect in a 90’s amusement park.
But the silly detail I love to fixate on the most is the sort of, faux realism of the toyetic design. Think of those plastic coated metal grates in colorful neon patterns. Little grip pads and handrails. This thing could exist if you were hilariously twisted enough to make a little metal gallows arm built like playground equipment. Make sure it holds your weight! But for me, having a sense of place makes a fantasy about hanging more grounded and ‘real’ instead of the ghostly gallows of somewhereness.
A few more subthemes are ‘education of punishment’, adding a very school-like or bureaucratic vibe to it. Having to wear a tag that you’ll be hanged in a week. Get measured up and weighed. Have to watch a half hour cartoon special “Mr Noose and you!” as the tagline says “Help! I’ve been sentenced to death for my crimes! What should I expect when I’m strung up like laundry out to dry for my sins?”
Waiting punishment is another common theme I think up with this. Being guided to a waiting room. Maybe that cartoon is on loop as you sit naked and cuffed for a few hours. Waiting for your gallows to be cleared and opened for your execution. Of course it’s on the other TV ^.~ or maybe even window. See some naughty princess hanging limply with one slipper dangling half off a paw. Gonna be you in about an hour, as in 47 minutes and 42 seconds they’ll start removing her corpse and make room for your turn. Reseting the platform as your dom starts leading you down the hall by your collar. Time to do your last walkies.
Air walkies is another fun tease term, helping tease the petplay aspect. And maybe the messy part. Though you can very much skip that. It’s just a fun mean way to rub in you’re so dead you soiled yourself. But skipping or just peeing is fine. It’s the punishment and peril that’s the point of it.
One other twist, if you take petplay to weirder places, is mascot costume hangings. Bound in a big colorful cartoon mascot animal costume. Noose around your neck. Looks like that registered trademark of nintendo had it coming to them ^.~ Big costume head tilted funny as big padded feet waddle around. Why you’d hang a mascot? I mean, why not ^.~ noose suiters, the newest craze on the internet!
Though if you wanted some idea on why not, there’s always a gambling aspect. Go squid game. Get put into a fat panda fursuit, waddled blindly into a noose, and 50/50 you get 50 mil or you hang for 50 min. I mean, that’s above 0 percent, coinflips are good odds, right?
Death games are another one where I need to really, explore and poke around. There’s a ton of fun weird minute a a weird adhd goblin like me lives for. MTG Lawyer rules for ante’ing your life and how to commit suicide if you lose. In that dry, MTG rules lawyer text in the verbose rules.
And a last ramble, cause I love this silliness, is bureaucratic executions. Enter a plain white hall and taken to a small room to strip and get cuffed. Then walked to a waiting cell and await someone to escort you to your gallows trapdoor. Just kind of like waiting for the doctor anxious. A sort of strange, consented non-consent. By playing these games of chance, you may forfeit your life and have to submit yourself to the center of inhuming to have your life ended. Like, squid game video poker in a futurama suicide booth.
I’ll see about slapping some flash fiction here in a bit as well, but at least get the journal half posted.
