Hi, Ryonalovers! This is my second post after all this time.
Yesterday I tried to make my own superheroine costume, since I think it’s too
expensive to buy a new costume again and again. You just need a cheap gymnastic
suit, styrofoam and glitter styrofoam, and some satin fabrics.
So here’s the result, and in my opinian it wasn’t so bad for my first trial :)
I also give the link as the references for
making this handmade costume:
Ryona (リョナ), is a Japanese term for a sexual complex where a
female character is, usually sexually, attacked or tortured by either a
man or another female character(s). The term "ryona" comes from
"ryonanī" (リョナニー), a portmanteau of "ryōki" (猟奇, "Seeking the bizarre")
and "onanī" (オナニー, masturbation).
Ryona as a fetish revolves around a victim, almost exclusively a
humanoid female, being physically assaulted or psychologically abused by
an offender. It differs from sadism in that it is a voyeuristic fantasy
fetish with focus towards fictional characters from video games, anime,
comics, TV and movies that include battering, abusing or otherwise
killing women. Characters from movies and TV series represented by live
actresses are becoming more common as less stigmatism is attached to
violence being inflicted to women in media. Because the fetish is so
broad it often incorporates other, more common, fetishes such as
humiliation, rape, and BDSM depending on the preference of the
individual. Often the victim is any combination of physically fit, well
trained, or strong of will as many find ryona more appealing the greater
the gap between the victim and offender's usual power.
In case the victim is male it is often labeled as gyaku-ryona (逆リョナ).
Fairl popular among females, and even some males especially when the
assailant is a female.
When ryona is taken to the point of lasting physical harm resulting in
bleeding or death, it is generally referred to as guro (グロ). This came
from the word gore, so seeing guts, inner entrails or organs and parts
is expected.
Ryona is also sometimes tied to Vore or Vorarephilia depending on the
context. Vore (捕食) is usually associated with creatures that swallow
victims (mainly females) whole.
Another form of ryona is Onna Zako (女ザコ, "female cannon-fodder"), which
generally means 'weaker' generic female enemies or 'cannon-fodder'. This
can be doing the attacking and the receiving as well.
