One of the things thingswithwings and I are trying to do with the kink_bingo wiki is to expand the fandoms, and more importantly the types of fandoms, that we depict in the images that accompany the text. The examples I come up with are almost always from my fannish history -- I can think of a Buffy example for anything -- and TVtropes is not always descriptive enough to be helpful.

So, in the interests of expanding the fandoms, I have some questions for you guys! I'd love to hear about examples from comics or live action tv or anime or movies or things you know I've seen or things you know I haven't seen. (Episode or issue names/numbers/plot summaries/some other way to find things would be helpful but isn't necessary.)

1. Animal-people! People who turn into animals, people who have animalistic features, people who wear animal outfits, people who act like animals a la Wolverine.

2. Bondage! Bondage is so easy to do that I always go "oh, whatever, any scene I've seen on tv," but really I ought to expand the fandoms. We'd love all kinds of bondage: straightjackets, handcuffs, chained up, complicated rope bondage, hogtied, tied to chairs, tied to someone else, anything.

3. Mind control! Or hypnosis or amnesia or anything similar.

4. Sensation play type stuff -- people brushed with needles or fur or enjoying their silk shirts or whatever. Or blindfolds! Blindfolds are good.

5. Anything that your fandom is really good at! Like, Star Trek TOS is hugely into mind control, and Veronica Mars is all over voyeurism, but I'd never have known that without watching those shows, so what am I missing from your favorite show?

This is all I can think atm in the Sandman comics.

1. Dream turns feline around Bast. Bast has feline features with a female human body; she's rather sexualized and really into Dream. Matthew is a raven who used to be human and Lucien was a former one of Dream's ravens, but he's not anymore. In the first volume with Dee, there's a scene where he brainwashes a group of people into thinking that they are wild animals and he has two of them fight to the death. There are a lot of animals who act like people if that counts at all.

2. In the first issue Dream spends a human lifetime in a glass orb and later he puts Azazel in a jar and keeps him in his trunk, but I don't know if that counts :D I think the twins Agony and Ecstasy capture at least one demon in their barbed wire rope and they appear in the Hellblazer comics as well.

3. Dream. Seriously. He controls your dreams. Delirium makes people go mad. Desire makes them, well, desire each other. There is also an issue that takes place over twenty four hours where a human Dee steals some of Dream's power and forces a diner full of people to do horrible things.

I can look up issue numbers later if you want the specifics.

I actually haven't read Sandman -- bad fangirl, no cookie -- but IIRC thingswithwings is a fan and owns it, so we can probably track things down! Putting people in jars sounds like a great visual :)

It sounds like Sandman is all over mind control, too! Very cool.
