I have to say, I’m not a fan of rotting, bloated corpses. I do like the girls a little beat up, but there is definitely a line, where she goes from gorgeous to gory. What
@bobinder would call the tension between beauty and decay, is a line that is snapped after the girl dies. It’s rare to see a proper death on the cross. We only ever see Sabina faint. The climax of her story is a whipping on the cross. Same deal with most Skating Jesus stories, we exit the scene after the girl passes out for the first time. The Long term aftermath of the cross just isn’t as sexy.
I say all of that to say this; in my fantasies, there is rarely an empty cross. As soon as their heartbeat stops girls are taken from crosses to be out of the way for the next girl in line. I don’t really focus on the death part, just many days of torture. But the death and its inevitability is a significant source of the crucified girl’s suffering, so it needs to happen almost all of the time. But when there isn’t a waiting list for wooden crosses, when the girl can go all the way to consummation est, and hang limp then I do love a picture of her defeated body right before or after being taken from the cross.
