Tribunus Plebis
. . . is a phrase our friend Apostate often uses. It got me thinking: what aspect of the crucifixion process appeals the most to us "crux addicts"? So I made the short list that I hope others can add to. Obviously, ALL of these are appealing. But which one turns you on the most? Feel free to vote for your favorite, and please add any gifs, short videos, and pictures to support your opinion!
1)scourging/whipping prior and/or during crucifixion
2) carrying the patibulum
3) nailing hands/wrists
4) nailing feet/ankles
5) raising the cross
6) removing the loincloth (if applicable)
7) uncontrolled pissing
8) "dancing" on the cross
9) crying out/moaning on the cross
10) panting/difficulty breathing
11) hanging from the wrists in a defeated posture
12) simulated (acted-out) moment of death and/or coup de grace by lance
13) removal/lying dead beneath the cross
My personal fav is # 10 (although 12 is a close second place). Here's an excerpt illustrating #9. (Technical note: I excerpted this from a Makar video using Quicktime Pro Player 7 on my MacBook. It may not play well on a PC. If you don't have Quicktime Pro Player 7, try MPEG Streamclip, NicePlayer, or Quicktime Player--my VLC app doesn't seem to like it. If you get video but no audio, try pausing and then continuing. The audio may pick up then. Sorry for any inconvenience--I'm currently searching for a better editing software!)
