The tragedy of my life is that I keep acquiring and displaying fetish art and having to be corrected by my friends.

Most recently, a friend came over my house and saw my computer background and went, "Wow, um, I didn't know you were into that." To which I look at the picture of the well drawn muscular female minotaur in historically accurate Greek clothing and I start geeking out about how I love the detail the artist did with the clothing and I point out the period appropriate folds and pins, how the artist even inserted the native plant that was used to dye the clothing this particular shade in the background, and even how the belt has technology AND historically accurate weaving patterns on it.

Then I start explaining how I love the muscular choices of the minotaur, that I was so impressed with the artist's anatomically correct depiction of the muscles converging into the neck. That many people get an upright cow's neck wrong because cow's don't have collarbones, so it can be very difficult to merge the upper arms and a chest of a human with a cow's body. I draw her attention to the beautiful way they've merged the pectoralis major so smoothly while also staying true to how muscular they've depicted the rest of the body.

I finish up with my thoughts on the artist's bold choice to depict the minotaur as a female, and despite the underlying themes of a minotaur being violence, child murder, strength, and muscles. I segue into how unlike bulls, cow are perceived as mothers. That they are the major source of milk in human culture, and that idyllic depictions of them in a field usually depict calves frolicking nearby, yet the minotaur kills and eats children.

I finish and there is a long pause.

"Urban, this is fetish art." and she takes me to the artist's twitter and god dammit it's fetish art, not a bold statement on cultural perceptions of women and violence throughout history. I have been tricked again.

I took a quick shower before bed. I was sleepy and needed to get up early tomorrow, so I just brushed my teeth, set my alarm and slept. I woke up the next day with my family next to me, promptly informing me that I was late to my very important appointment. I started getting stressed and panicking, and just then, I woke up. Again.

My brain reenacted everything I did before bed, told I'd fucked up and then woke me up a full hour before my alarm, just for me to see everything was alright.

u ever have a stress dream so crazy u wake up feelin like scrooge being given a second chance at life

evryone is so seethingly jealous of my simulacrum. "it bears relationship to reality" they say "its a faithful copy of a unique original." yet they cannot trace its ontological lineage back to a prototype 😂

Do you... Do you mind it? Not terribly. But you do enjoy it sometimes? The whole deal, I mean? Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
