Discussion: TG/TF for juxtaposition
From: guest (Gnosis) , 3 months, post #1
This has been on my mind for quite some time, but I've been getting curious:

So my favorite aspect of TG/TF (shapeshift, possession, body swap.... all of that), in fact, the aspect that tends to turn me on, is juxtaposition. The mismatch of body and soul/voice/personality etc. So for each TG/TF there are several ways I can enjoy it--I focus on the body on the outside, the appearance of the character, or the actor, that is now displaying the mannerism of another character. I think of that other character (the soul on the inside), now wearing the skin of another character, speaking with their voice, moving in their body, sometimes even putting on a (usually bad) impression of their mannerisms. I watch the interaction between characters, the way the actors have to all interact in a completely different way because they are now playing different characters. Sometimes, even voice swap, voice change or accent change are enough to get me turned on.

It seems I am a considerably rare breed in this community, because as far as I'm aware, many people are here for the body exploration, for the onscreen transformation, for the navigation of gender identities. But for me, it is all about character, behavior, and performance. I like to first watch the characters in their usual environment, get to know how they normally act and their relationships with each other. Then the transformation/swap happens, and then suddenly everyone's changed. It is crucial for me that the actors sell the change, that I can really believe this is another character transformed into or stuck in this body. The more nuanced the performances the better I can savor it. That's why, to use a recent example, It's What's Inside is one of my favorite TG media, while I almost never watch TG porn (over the top, caricature performance, very little display of character).

So... yeah. I'm wondering if anyone here also gets this? Is anyone here like me? (also let's share our favorite TG/TF media too :D)

Oh, and I know I said nuanced, but really this is nothing emotional or analytical. In fact most of the time it's the contrast that instantly gets me. It really is just about how well the actors imitate another actor's character. Even Power Rangers could do that more or less.

Oh yeah, same here, like don't get me wrong having a character explore their body is cool and all, but I love seeing someone act wildly different than their traditional self.

Its why the jamie lee curtis freaky friday movie is one of my all time favorites
