Duloc Dungeon

Decided to organize the torture instruments and devices in the Duloc Dungeon. Might as well share here, if anyone's curious or can give any more interpretations

(These screenshots are really dark on mobile)

We were in a real dungeon from the 16th century today.

I thought this would be of interest for the whump community.😄

5th CZ & SK Fannibals meatup

Some Fannibals met July 19th to visit sadly-not-Hannibal’s exhibition of torture instruments. You maybe remember, Hannibal was a curator of Atrocious Torture Instruments at the Palazzo Capponi in Florence, so we took him with us to have a look at it, to get that old scent again 😊 (and look, a “ghost” joined our group photo!)

Seeing things with which Hannibal was familiar in Florence, there surely were some things he would appreciate even nowadays. Like the Flute Of Shame - a medieval torture device used to punish bad musicians:

Or, clearly, this boiler to cook people:

If you will be able to visit by yourself, I’m totally recommending to do so! Also, you can buy fake noses, ears, and eyes there! :))) But I guess the most of you can’t go, so here are some pictures for you to enjoy <3

Innocent manga’s torture instruments

In chronological order:

The chair chair to tie up people:

I love the attention to detail. One thing that is noticeable immediately is the chair has things to restrain the torso, the knees and the legs. The background of the pannel is a lovely detail, showing this place was not originally built to be a torture chamber. If it would, it would have architectural elements to accommodate a strappado, which the room here clearly does not. On the other pannels, it is shown to be quite close to the wall, but not on the wall and it is not nailed to the ground. The room is also equipped with what seems to be a chamber pot. The proportions also make it pervertible as a spanking chair for OTK. It’s functional. Only worry would be if the victim can probably thrash hard enough to tip the chair, since it isn’t affixed to the ground. However, with the amount of brainwashing they do, it would probably counter this issue.

Next...

I think this is a strappado, although because probably the sealing isn’t high enough to use it to full effect, it has been repurposed as an immobilizing device.

The branding irons here are perfect. 

We have another spiked collar, I think Subyss just wants to show his collection at this point, what looks like ferulas, an axe, a rapier and I think this is a sword of justice. We also have a rectangular metal spoon. Some bizarre bird cage is here on top. Okay, I think Subyss might deal with juvenile delinquants from time to time and cannot be bothered with taking them off the wall I guess. However, WTF the magistrates would store their self-defense weapons in the torture chamber, that would remain a mystery. 

Damien’s restrain bed is perfect to historical depictions and functional. 

We have here a chastity belt, a knee breaker, I think a bridal scold and a hammer. As well as WTF items that are decorative and meant to scare the prisonnier, although here I doubt they are for that as Damien probably saw them a billion times already. 

I think these are thumbscrews, manacles and spiked collars. They look...Barely visible. 

Witch pricker. Perfectly simple and functional.

Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments

I went to a museum with torture instruments on a school trip one, but I forgot to post it.
