I've had this pic for quite awhile. At least a couple weeks now. It's just been hanging out on my desktop as I had the basic idea for it and thought it's look cute as a cap. The basic idea was "He's dressed up by his friend then gets stuck like that when more people come in. He can't even get up because he has a hardon"
There's nothing un-trope like in this cap. But as I learned years ago, just because it's a trope doesn't mean its bad. After all, it had to be a good idea to become a trope, right?
Two things came up in my thoughts while I made this. The images that I choose and the idea of cross-dressing.
In the images that I choose, I mean that I pick images that I find aesthetically sexy. In this image, it's really her ass and her lips. Her pose is sexy too, but it's not showing much else of her. I don't particularly like her hair and I'm not a foot person. Once I thought of it that way though, it made me sit back and wonder if that limits me on the types of stories I tell in these caps. I mean, realistically, this is NOT a guy that's had a weekend worth of makeover. I could buy the face, and I even relented in the story that her hair was a wig... but the curve of her ass? The thinness of her waist? No, those are distinctly feminine. In the stories I tell I work pretty hard at explaining those types of changes like body prosthetics and corsets, but those don't work at bare ass photos like this.
I guess I wonder are the caps better because I pick out distinctly feminine subjects and then make at least a LITTLE effort to explain their femininity? Or would I be better off using images like this for complete changes (magic, future technology...)?
The other thought is about cross dressing. That is, a guy dressing up like a woman. Maybe a wig, maybe some body enhancers, of course some makeup... but no real changes to their body. I mean the whole category of caps is called TG caps. Trans-gendered caps. Cross dressing isn't really TG, is it? They're changing the public's perception of their gender without changing their gender.
I wonder if it's just me over the years, slowly preferring stories that could actually happen to me. I could be dressed up, I could have makeup on, I could put a wig on, I could put a corset on. I could be forced into embarrassing situations to try and hide the fact that I'm a man by acting more like a woman. But with all that I know of gender affirming treatments and surgeries, I find it unappealing to read about someone that is just POOF a woman.
I don't know... it's just something to think about. Anywho, I hope ya like the cap. I do have another image picked out for another cap and this one is overtly completely changed gender so I think it will be fun and sexy.
