Monthly Update: July 2021
The source filmmaker animation is picking up some momentum (both in the progression and the animation itself).
I have decided to do one angle with several scenes instead of several angles. And because I'm working with the same elements, I get to learn what I'm doing faster and use more of it. It is getting more comfortable to do increasingly complex animation in the current stage. So it is looking good so far.
The short comic book also now has a draft.
It is planned to be a total of 5 pages with about 3 image strips each and 1 page with a single larger image with a longer monologue.
I have a bit different idea about how to put down the written story in it, though. Instead of me writing the story, I'd like to make it an open writing contest and I pick my favorite one.
One reason is that it would probably take me another month or two re-writing 15 different drafts until something turns out not too overly overdramatic while still describing the "appropriate" emotions in a minimalistic number of letters. Another is because I do often enjoy reading what my audiences think if some of the critical ideas align.
I will make the announcement twice with this one when it is ready. One will be in the description of the said comic book image posts which will be posted without any text in the image. Another will be posted right after as a separate announcement post.
It could be fun. Or maybe everyone will hate me afterward except that one person I picked the writing of. We'll see.
A thought I've been having about the genre:
For me, erotica or ideas that arouse me is certainly more about the idea of it rather than bodily stimulation.
So, a woman-swallowing tentacle monster may be capable of blowing a woman's mind while doing the "all-the-way-through" from every orifice of the body while twisting her into odd shapes and angles. And I think that's generally what's expected of tentacle porn. But for me, with everything I know about human biology and psychology and myself, that's not how it would work, or at least not in any meaningful way to me.
It is a fantasy. So it can be anything. Laws of physic, biology, and psychology can be whatever it wants. So I understand why some wondered why I'm not open to more diverse situations when the monsters I depict are all-capable god-like beings when it comes to handling lust and body masses.
But every fantasy also needs a conduit for some audience, especially the author, to be able to find it relatable, to connect with the story, to be able to empathize with whatever is going on in that fantasy through that conduit. Usually, that conduit is some form of humanity (Not necessarily the "good-in-us" definition of humanity. But more of just "us-being-us". You can find this in any movies or music or etc.)
To me, that conduit is the female lead characters in my stories and the monsters who empathize with her and want to give her the joy that they can.
There are things that are definitely acknowledged as fantasy or fetish that I don't understand such as pain being pleasurable nor why I would want to un-do (devour, absorb, dissolve) the one who loves me. It's not like I hate them. I just don't see why they are pleasurable, the same as why I'm not making any pedophilic content nor elderly transgender orgy.
I know tentacle erotica is considered one of the most extreme and weird types of fetish. And as a creator of such content, I am expected to be open to pretty much anything that's more commonly accepted. I'm pretty sure that's not how sexual preferences work though. There are certainly a lot of more common things that are not for me.
But I do understand that the pleasure from being dominated by another often comes from being able to relax and be comfortable with it because of how much they trust each other and share the joy for the theme. And I also know that it doesn't take much to get a woman the arousal she wants, maybe no more than two fingers or some delicious vocabulary, if she's in the mood for it.
The grotesque and horrifying monster, the tentacles that can penetrate and tear through her body if they wanted, the slime to let her know where the monster is tasting her, the poses that it is making her take, and bounding her to that inescapable flesh of lust, they are all to set for that said mood.
The monster just needs to show that it likes her. Anyone who went in there willingly and knowingly should surely like it when it does as well. And the dominant one only needs to lead just a little bit ahead for her so that she can pace with it and feel good doing it.
It is like a dance, not so unlike tango, but in between two very different types of beings, and somehow achieving perfect harmony with their passions.
That is my approach to my monster fantasy.
