Strangling Scene

I remember when I first saw this preview pic. I was excited for a chair garroting featuring this new actress; Blackbird restrained and tortured via breath-play. Many of the preview pictures looked to be of that suggestion. The red ribbon strangler being a familiar character too. That wasn't the case. I wasn't disappointed at all though. I loved Cara Swift's acting and the pace for the story was good too. Some witty banter, exposition, and an overall well-choreographed fight scene. My only complaint; I'm not keen on bear hugs to weaken an opponent. I don't know, just not my thing really. We did get something somewhat similar with the conclusion video when she was garroted while sitting on that bench. The other idea, semi-hope, was to have her restrained to that cross and strangled. Haven't seen an element like that in a video for a very long time now. I guess that wouldn't be part of the super heroine genre as it would lean more toward the fetish side of things. Still, she's one of my favourite new actresses and hopefully we can see her return in a future project. If not, the videos she was in were awesome and I'm glad to have them in my library!

Thanks for that ArcRaven, if you want more chair strangling and breath-play you have to tell us, and to everybody keep communicating on this board. It always makes me scratch my head every time someone has a go at us because we didn't do a certain want of theirs right, we do not mind read and we are only human, if we miss something you said then remind us if you want something in our videos to talk to us. In other words keep the FF active - there are hundreds and hundreds of members here, yet only 15% talk to us. TALK TO US!!!!

Oh no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that comment as a complaint. Both you and Blue really try your best to fill everyone's needs when it comes to these videos. I do have elements I prefer over others, but I like to think we all do. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy the videos that have been made. I try to take in each one I purchase, each story I'm watching for what it is. I agree that more does need to be said on here, I feel at times that people don't get how much creative input from the community matters.

Yes, indeed! That was a short but very good segment. I thought that Lena's performance was just perfect throughout the whole film but that part was my favourite! I loved that sudden reaction she has to the pressure when he harshly pulls the cord taut, biting it into her neck. That gasp and the following struggle was a nice touch. <3

Oh yes, another great attack sequence and another great film! What I like about this form of restraint is that it's somewhat cruel. I know that sounds sadistic, but hear me out for a second. From a fantasy point, it's more of a struggle for the victim when their arms are trapped; locked by the arm of their captor. The enemy not only has control by applying as much pressure on the ligature as they desire but they also control the victim's body too. The victim can struggle all they want but that just makes it worse. There isn't much they can do, almost any direction they try to move in will increase the amount of pressure against their neck on top of what the enemy is trying to do. I've kind of wanted to see a video where the victim is only killed this way but there are downsides to that scenario. For one thing, it's hard to imagine the killer having the strength to hold on to their victim long enough to murder them. At least, not without already weakening them or applying further restraints first. (handcuffing their arms behind their backs, ect.) Also, depending on the character typing for the victim, the amount of their struggle and fight makes a difference. If it's just a normal person with no proper combat skills or survival experience, then that's somewhat plausible to think that they would move around too much and therefore die quicker. However, the will of a human being is a strong factor in survival no matter who you are. Though, we take liberties in media with that but still, you know what I mean. The more experienced person- an agent or heroine of some kind; that's a different story. People make mistakes and can be killed no matter how well trained they are but that doesn't mean the process itself will be easy for the killer. In these kind of stories, the enemy usually needs to break down the victim first in some way. (a long fight, chloroform, other drug ect.) Aside from the obvious task of restraining their victim, focusing their stamina on controlling the ligature, they have to account for the energy of their victim. Many can argue that males are built more solidly than a female and therefore should be in better control but honestly, that really means nothing. The strength and overall ability of a person and their desire to live has no proper measurement amongst people, let alone any gender. As their victim starts to weaken, their body will become heavier to deal with as well. So that's a thought.

There are a few other things but those are some of the factors that always have me on the fence with this kind of method. In that way, I'm almost more partial to a killer just holding their victims hands far away from their neck. Usually that's done with one of the killers hands as they maintain the ligature with their other one. Sure, it would take a while to kill them but that adds to the hopeless tension of the scene. The killer is still in control and can pull the garrote harder at their whim. Having the victim already on the ground from another kind of attack sequence of some sort is a plus too. The other type I appreciate in some way- when a killer is sitting on a couch using their legs to hold back their victims arms back. The victim is sitting on the ground in front of them of course. You can say that it's much in the same as if the victim were restrained to a chair and garroted, but in this case the killer can take the convenience of sitting back for extra leverage. Using their own weight to pull the ligature higher up their victim's neck. It takes longer to kill someone that way, medical and forensic science tells you that. My only complaint, it seems like an oddly lazy killing from a story point of view. The fight on the victim's part is limited too.

Yeah, I put too much thought into things but that's my two-cents anyway.
