B0UNDIARY and a request

Hello everyone! I just want to link this group that I'm a part of that dedicates itself to DiD literature in   many different types of genres. From Anime to Videogames, this one has some great writers and some fun stories to read. Check it out:

B0UNDIARY

(for anyone who doesn't know, the edited picture is by Kachima)

And I'm  thinking of writing a new Spider-Woman fanfic that will be inspired by one of these pics (a SHORT one shot, I hope). Help me make a decision:

Spider-Woman Poll

Also, for anyone who does come across this blog, if you feel like using some of the 'check box' to rate some of the post, please do! =) Would love some nifty unnecessary aesthetics added to my blog!

Well that's about it, later! 

(Variant) Damsel of the Month:

It's been a busy month and let me just say that I didn't have quite the time to invest in a single thought as to who can be the Damsel of this special LOVE month. But I did come up with an idea that can still slide into the idea... so I'm just going to list on who are my top Damsels in mind that I wouldn't mind being my nicely wrapped Valentine! So first in the list:

Spider-Woman

She is one of my all time favorites! Classic costume(although I have no personal qualms with her old one)! Tight. Red. Sexy! Revealing. Sass. And she had one of the best faux chair bondage scene in the comic book! She is definitely TOP on the list of my valentine for sure! That and with a brand new series and a brand new costume, where do we go from here, M.s Drew???

Upside down and perhaps getting into peril(official good one too, please).

Rikku

Spunky little Al Bhed has been a long time favorite of mine as well! When I think of Final Fantasy female, I think of Rikku. Maybe it's her default dressphere that got it going, but man she sure is freaking adorably-sensually-sexy! She's got plenty of energy too so would be perfect for a valentine gift waiting for... you know. And while Rikku has a few more extra costumes, we can't ignore the fact that she first appeared with her Yuffie-like outfit.

Not sure where her role will be in future games, but we do know that she will be in distress a whole lot more through the eyes and hands of DiD fans alike!

Elsa

Frozen Skyrim

Oh and then there's her! Queen Elsa of Arendelle! My Oh MY! Can't let this girl go for some reason. There are a myriad of reasons as to why she is in this category but it is also easy to see that she hasn't gotten her Damsel role yet so... suffice to say... I'll save all that WHEN("whenever that will be" when she catches the DiD fever) she gets her month. Oh, and I'm a bigger fan of her coronation outfit with her 'let it go' hairstyle.

So with that said.... next month it is! 

Damsel of the Month:

Art by: Raffael Martini(check out his deviant art!)

Name: Jessica Drew

Series: Avengers

Some Words: What to say about this gal that I have spoken about a whole heck of a lot of times as it is in this blog. There has even been blog pages about her distress in bondage as it is! While some of those comic pages were convoluted and lacked any sense of coherency despite them having some redeeming qualities. But, regardless of that fact, Jessica Drew here still deserves a month for her Damsel endeavors! So she gains a month fittingly enough in a month that is name sake of a special damsel in the D.i.D. world, why is that? Is there a solid reason as to why? Well, April is a special month for me as it is and Spider-Woman was the first femme fatale from Marvel that I was introduced to when I was REALLY young! So to pay homage to nostalgia and celebration of milestones, here's Jessica Drew in her (not)finest positions and situations! The damsel heroine that she is known for(at least to my eyes she is)!

Forgot the artist; never had the reference! 

Jessica Drew, the Original Spider-Woman needs no introduction from this side of the web since I have more than a few posts about her. In the comic book world, Ms. Drew have had enough duress to make her probably one of the most interesting characters due to the fact that the Skrull Queen replaced her and turned her life upside down! She had all the right ingredients after that event to have such a chilling presence and the motivation to do anything it takes to gain her name, but sadly, writers just pretty much put her on the side lines. There was a lot of things that went on with her like her little love with Hawkeye that never went anywhere as well thanks to the movie partnering of Hawkeye and Black Widow. Not entirely sure what is going on in the present day, but all I know is that her past isn't any better.

What's even more appalling is that as much of a bad times way back when things were with her story and the continuity of her character, her D.i.D scenes weren't that eloquent either! One moment she'd be bound and gagged, the next moment she can snap the ropes like nothing. I mean if there is any confusion or anyone who tries to refute that, just check out the past few issues of Spider-Woman from way back when!

 

 

 

I did a quick blog on some of these issues(Issue# 4, 5, 8, 24, 25, & 27). I'm sure there are more since I don't have ALL of the first 50 issues of Spider-Woman. They're vintage, but again, they aren't exactly high in price since her story was... convoluted and pretty sad in terms of just how lacking it was in writing coherency. The past was so bad that they just pretty much brushed them off as Hyrda brainwashing! Smooth! Wish it was better! And I wish even more that her bondage scenes were better!

I can't find this artist's page! But it pays homage to a certain cover

Despite all of that, Spider-Woman does open up a whole hell of a lot of fantasies in the D.I.D. community for her sassy and vibrant red costume. Just that chair bondage alone in issue#5 spawned a plethora of drawings that are trying to depict her helplessness in a much more 'true' distressing situation for her! Not a lot of them are good, but at least she is actually really helpless in the artist's depiction and we can tell that was the intent. I mean in the original comic book that her infamous chair bondage came from, she was literally not helpless at all! I mean, if you can break out of the bonds at any moment, why spend that much time struggling and looking all sexy? I mean, does she like it secretly? 

Oh snap?! But her distress(pseudo, mind you) DiD come with a great comic book issue that paved way for many false bondage advertisement in the comic book realm:

Yes, that comic cover is indeed the biggest fallacy in the comic book D.i.D. world! But it did influence Adam Warren:

Truly a great homage! In fact, Emp is a homage to Spider-Woman! By Adam Warren

Regardless, there are a lot of artists that tried their hand to make Spider-Woman's bondage a bit more realistic and far more enamoring.

So, suffice to say, Spider-Woman does need a bit more bondage love and trust me, she will. Why April though when this month is meant for a great Damsel like Ms. Oniel? Simple. She introduced me to Marvel a bit more. A special dame like that deserves a special month that is MORE than just a fool's month or a regular 31 days. There is a lot of things about this month that makes it special and might as well honor a special femme fatale!

And for 'current' D.i.D.'ing of Jessica and fellow 'spy-der' gals:

Damsel of the Month:

Name: Elissa Megan Powers aka Empowered/ "Emp"

Series: Empowered

Some words: Adam Warren DiD something that was blunt, daring, fan service, whimsical, and just downright great when Empowered came into the scene of the comic book world. Okay so maybe she's a bit more underground and most likely making sales off a lot of fan service and bondage lovers, but beyond all of that, there is actually more to Empowered than the poor gal writhing about in her bonds and 'mmppphhh'ing' through her cleave gags. I promise! While I won't sit here and completely spoil out every nook and cranny of this 8 volume story, I will say that it does have a lot of parodies to some of our well known Comic Book lore. Some of the characters introduced and even the metropolis often mentioned has so much Marvel and DC influence but twisted so much(in a dark but humorous way) that it's sometimes unrecognizable. The story of Elissa becoming Empowered starts a little after the beginning and right into the core of her distress that the origin of how and why she got her powers remains a mystery! Even with what is revealed now, Emp is still a mystery that it leaves me craving for more!

Yes, this is part of the 'freedom of speech'!

Now while saying that, there is a lot of personality put into Emp and her rapport with the characters. In the beginning all she has are hateful and pricks that she even calls 'teammates' but eventually she gets her own support. And support is what she'll need since her life is a 'living hell' with all of the crap she has to put up from her teammates and when she isn't being ostracized or ridiculed, Emp goes through an entire week of feeling MANY different positions of super heroine bondage!

And the world of Empowered also adheres to the modern (real) world factors like social media where someone like her will find her failures, her bondage moments, and such posted online and well… free for anyone to make memes, videos, and so forth. Imagine that! Failures of bondage and such always plastered online for anyone to see including yourself and then being ridiculed by your so called teammates! Yeah this girl doesn't have it easy at all despite her being a great fan service to us(so stop liking bondage then so poor Emp won't have to suffer!!!).

Powers? She is the parody of Spider-Woman in more ways than one. She has the 'venom blasts' which is called 'vorp'(or the sound affect anyways). She eventually learns to crawl/stick to walls, she has super strength, and her outfit has a VERY distinct similarity with Ms. Drew's costume design. Of course Spider-Woman doesn't walk around with torn up suit all the time! Which brings me to the next point! It's because her suit is torn up all the time that she ends up in bondage! She basically loses a ton of her super powers if she even gets a small rip! And it's not like the suit is durable, it's VERY fragile! Basically, Emp's entire aesthetics is a whole lot of skin! The trademark triangles on her chest and forehead are obviously prominent(Spider-Woman influence!) but without her tears she is just plain blue! Hate to say it but without her all battle damage, her suit is pretty insipid. Further more, without her ropes, she lacks her true nature! Sorry Emp! You look good in ropes!

The bondage has a reason as well as the last volume explains but to ground it to a more plausible notion, there is an unwritten law for villains to NOT murder 'capes'(super heroes). I'm not sure how I completely buy into that but it works in this world. And believe me, there is enough dark tone in the volumes that death is not scarce! While it's not entirely the most gruesome and visceral deaths, it does leave an emotional scar if one just thinks about it. People die in this world!

For a comic book/graphic novel, there is a lot of text. There is a lot of reading and a lot of good conversations! Some characters are unique(actually all of them are) because of the way they talk which makes certain parts just plain and simply entertaining to read! Oh, Emp does a lot of gag talk and the dialogue is sometimes translated for fun!

Character chemistry, somewhat enigmatic origin, whimsical humor, and above all things it has a main chica who is costume design has a lot of Spider-Woman love to her, so why oh why is she the Damsel of the Month for the new year? Well as a fan service icon to the D.i.D. community, she gets a hell of bondage scenes that are almost matching(or perhaps surpassed) Wonder Woman's bondage debut! Emp deserves the month for whenever a new volume arrives because she is always in some enticing bondage scene with a whole hell of a lot of bondage taunting, ridiculing, cleave gags, so on and so on! But to say that, she would just be a simple and everyday D.i.D. and not worthy to start the new year! So what is it then? Well, think about how often she does get bound and gagged, then think about how much she just gets up right after that and does her humiliating crime fighting life. That right there is perseverance.

Victory is an obscure term to her and more of than not she has her own failures to remind her that she is inept and the laughingstock of the superhero realm but despite all that she gets up. She tries. She fights. She does so with joviality, with positiveness, and she is also a smart ass! She has badass moments don't get me wrong! She has awesome friends and as the story progresses, there are changes to the characters as well. Sometimes certain characters ARE the main focus of a volume! So while it is about Emp's bondage and her often gagged mouth that makes her a Damsel worthy of a month; but the fact that she is a BRAVE new take on the often frowned upon(on the mainstream) bondage innuendo… she is a beginning!

There was a reason why Emp also got a Femme Fatale moment and a Damsel of the Month dedicated to her. She is a symbol; a bound and gagged symbol that is! So with that said….

To 2014. Hopefully we get another volume this year! If none of you EVER read a single Empowered, please do so. If it's not for the bondage, the art, or whatever, it's the humor in it that makes it worthwhile. Though… why would you pick up Empowered and NOT like the D.i.D. genre?

----EDIT-----

And... We have ourselves a commission with a particular awesome DiD heroine who shares some similarity with this month's damsel!
