PIC: Torsten/Laura: The One Safe Haven (softcore, NSFW)

Apr 02, 2016 08:13

Some Torsten/Laura romantic tenderness for a change. Laura takes him in her arms--set during that time in The Fall of Angels when he still has terrible amounts of trauma from what was done to him in prison. And when Laura has to take him, to help at least partially heal that most feminine part in him, that most homosexual part in him that had been so wounded. Looking back, I do think it must've been one of the queerest things I ever wrote, considering. In that Laura turns her own main identity and orientation around to heal that part in Torsten that rarely comes out when he's fucking *her,* because he's usually the top with her, too. So that it's a het scene but the woman plays the man's role and the man... well, it's hard to even call Torsten a man in that scene because it's very much his female self that takes the centre stage there. So it's all kinds of genderbendy, orientation-bendy and sexual role-bendy and very profound at that.



CFB:

First, a closeup, because for some reason it looked way better this way than in longshot (whenever someone's hair disappears into the shadows and/or if their head is covered a bit, it always screws up the proportions somehow, even if they're perfectly aligned with those of the models).






Used a tgirl for Torsten this time and finally got enough femininity into the bodyshot thanks to that. I've used biological women a couple of times recently as well, and that seems to be the only way to get a more Connie-y feeling into the Torsten bodies. But even they aren't as perfectly feminine and sensuous as he was a lot of the time--it's crazy how androgynous he was and how powerfully so. And oh yeah, that is indeed a print of Salome in the background, because of reasons. It still bugs me that it was one of those where the headshot was never right--it was always either too small or too big--so I just left it at the version you see here because it looked ridiculous if I made it even smaller. It's so strange how hard it is to get that stuff right at times. But I do like the mood in this, so...
