The Torture Meme

[shocksock]

CONTENT WARNING: this meme contains extremely graphic content.
if you are not comfortable with drastic violence, please don't proceed.

i. self-mutilation. for whatever reason, you're your own worst enemy. can another character save your from themselves, or are they in the same boat? maybe it's neither and they just like to watch.
ii. otherwise inflicted. one character is the torturer, one character is the tortured. state your preference or assume the top commenter is in the tortured position.

1. DISMEMBERMENT/AMPUTATION: You should never get too attached to your limbs. Who knows when you'll lose one? Or have it taken from you. Hands, feet, arms, elbows, if it sticks out, it can be snapped, sawed, crushed or pulled off. Better staunch that stump quick, unless life isn't worth living without your favourite foot.
2. IRREVERSIBLE SENSORY DEPRIVATION: See, speak, and hear no nothing. While temporarily muting a sense can heighten the others and make for a fun time in the short term, it's probably not an adjustment you'd want to make permanently. Too bad. Perforated eardrums, plucked eyes, and cut tongues fall under this category -- and don't forget those other senses you could always do without, like touch and smell.
3. FLAYING/SKINNING/SCALPING: People are layered. Time to find out exactly how much. Peel, shave, or pull the flesh off yourself or others and maybe you'll expose their true nature. Or organs. Probably that second thing.
4. SCARIFICATION/TATTOOING/BRANDING: Make your mark. Ritualism, boredom, or for any number of reasons, it's time to claim what's yours. Brand it with red-hot iron, slice it with a scalpel, write it in permanent ink -- make sure you're never forgotten.
5. BLUNT TRAUMA: Stop the blood flowing and keep the fun going. Blunt trauma involves any painful force that doesn't break the skin. Hitting, kicking, beating with brass knuckles or bats, and breaking bones. Nobody said anything about internal bleeding, did they?
6. TRAPS: From medieval torture devices such as iron maidens to the infamous reverse beartrap of the Saw series, isn't technology fascinating? Push your face through knives to activate the switch that releases your bonds, or stretch yourself thinner on a rack. For more implements, check the instruments of torture page.
7. PERFORATION/LACERATION: The opposite of blunt force trauma, this option is for those that prefer to dig a little deeper. Cut the skin with knives, suspend it with hooks, lash it with whips. Shallow or mortal wounds, see red red red!
8. EATEN ALIVE: A body is a terrible thing to waste. Perhaps you're the guest of honor at a cannibal's feast, you've been thrown to the dogs, or zombies, or there's always the good old brown rats ready to burrow through your bowels with a little incentive.
9. TEMPERATURE: Burned, boiled, frozen, drenched in wax, it's uncomfortably hot or cold in here and taking off all your clothes probably won't do the trick this time.
10. PHARMACOLOGICAL: You're the guinea pig in this ethics-committee-bypassing experiment, lucky you! Injections are the name of the game. Induce pain, pleasure, hallucinations, sleep, sleep deprivation, the sky's the limit. Or just toss them into a pit of hypodermic needles. Cause you know. That's cool. Oh and don't forget about withdrawal!
11. FREAK-FOR-ALL: Don't see it above? Don't worry about it. If it hurts, it belongs in here, so let your imagination run free, you twisted wild thing, and wreak a little misery. ♥

[ Bring on anything, the more gruesome and gory the better. ]

[not_so_delicate]

(OoC: Brutal trap path that punishes both?)

[blazearang]

[ ooc: I'm down for that! ]

Kyoka Jiro | My Hero Academia

[ Anything is good. ...only girls if it's horny torture though. ]

Mairon ( SAURON THE DECEIVER ) | Tolkien Legendarium

[aringonit]

[ definitely the torturer with very few exceptions, I think you know if you're an exception. ]

Eyyyyy 1/2

[songofstaying]

Obligatory prefs because, like, torture, ya know?

✘   Not really into threading 1, 3, 8 (even though getting eaten by wolves is canon lol), but feel free to threaten.
?   2 - Fine with the concept! My only worry is how it might impact my tagging logistically, and I am trying not to be too slow, so I guess ask?
✔   4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, + all the psychological torture - bring it! \o/

Finrod 2/2

[songofstaying]

I will not scream.

He had first told himself the lie after waking bound in the dark of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, bones aching with the cold of Helcar and ears ringing with the echo of spell-song, when the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps, then a key.

He had. They had, too.

Now, the only shallow breath he hears is his own, and he thinks all the others are surely dead. He hopes so - for their sake. For his, so he need not hear their cries.

Sauron regards him with a piercing gaze.

I will not...

[coppercrowned]

Roman Sionis | DCEU

[ewwww]

((ooc: torturer. open to any of the options. Roman is gay, so any sexual interactions where he's actively attracted to his partner will have to be m/m, but I like m/f threads too!))

[dontcallmejay]

[YO. >.> Should we make a mess of these two?]

Ivy Pepper - Gotham - OTA

Abigail Hobbs | Hannibal

[souille]

[ I'd love a scenario where someone with more experience in this area has taken Abigail under their wing and is teaching her how to effectively torture someone. ]

Jin Guangyao| Mo Dao Zu Shi

[turmoiling]

[I'll go either way, torturer or torturee!]

Dean Winchester | Supernatural

[righteously]

[ Maybe some mental-spell bullshit making him do Hell flashbacks, maybe actually in hell, also cool with being on the receiving end tryna convince his brainwashed CR to chill. Open to other ideas. I'll get dark, fam. Cas for shipping all day long, otherwise ask. ]

Bucky Barnes | MCU

[freightcars]

[ I'd love to get creative here and not to another The Winter Soldier era 'Bucky suffer weh' rehashing. Instead, maybe make it a mental thing, nightmare scenario, whatever — or have him doing the torturing Winter Soldier style or mind-fuck style.

Steve or Nat for shipping, open to cross-canon for gen. ]

[ms_unknown]

[Care to torture Nat? ]

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock BBC

[desecrated]

[ooc: canonically. Make it worse if you wish (took them longer to find him/tormenters got creative, etc).
During, aftermath, or just nightmares that he has problems talking about properly are all open plotpoints.]

oswald cobblepot / penguin | GOTHAM

[hobblepot]

[The question isn't really who has Oswald pissed off, but rather, who hasn't he pissed off by now? I'm cool with 4, 5, 7, as far as the list goes, though I'm open to ideas if you had others in mind. Oswald is very sensitive to humiliation and ridicule so you can lean hard into that if you're feeling it, esp. if emotional torture is more your bag.

Available as canon Oswald or vampire!Oswald, who can recover faster from cruel [and unusual?] punishment but has the usual beef with sunlight and silver. For better or for worse, he's not the instantaneously combusting type so much as a slow cooker. What doesn't kill him only makes him all the more pissed off, or something like that.]

Natasha Romanoff | MCU

[ms_unknown]

[Would someone like to torture a spy?]

Eleanor Shellstrop | The Good Place

[az_shrimp_horny]

[What if she ended up in the Bad Place permanently?]

Kylo Ren/Brianna Solo • r63!Star Wars • ota

[umbraeternam]

[ the one inflicting the torture. not interested in 6 or 8, any other prompts are potentially on the table. 4/7 (basically anything involving a blade - be it metal or plasma) is an arguable fave, as is torture via Force abilities. interested in exploring 9 (temperature) and 10 (drugs/chemicals), likely mixed with other elements. scene could be outright torture, interrogation involving - or devolving into - torture, or some sort of wildcard situation, I'm flexible. fine with 'plain' violence/torture or sexualized, even if just the implication (ie. "I can do whatever I want to you"); also okay with scenarios ending in death, that being the end goal, or using it as a threat/motivation.

very open to canon and verse mates, as well as cross canon/AUs, and new or established CR. if she's interrogated/punished your character before and they want a second round, I won't judge. ]

Tony Stark | MCU

[doesntpaint]

[ No 3/6/8, mental tortures are fine, and physical ones too, of course. OTA for gen, some chatter beforehand preferred for shipping. ]

Kain Highwind | Final Fantasy IV/Dissidia 012

[dragonsgrasp]

[Go ahead and torture him in any way. No real limits based on what's on here!]
