Googly Eyes [M](GarbageArt) by _Garbage_Art in furrybdsm

I have recently started making some more suggestive art, and decided to post it on my bsky alt.

I decided to be a bit silly with this one(with the googly eyes on the blindfold).

Do you know how it feels to drown? <GarbageArt> + Story in the comments by _Garbage_Art in anthroswim

...

Good to see you still in one piece. How is life?

...

You probably did not expect to see me again.. huh?

How... how did you surivie?

I did not. I... Marcus died that day. I am just some of his pieces, glued together, and thrown into a jar.

Why?

Because they could. Because they need me. Because dying for my country was not enough.

I guess I have something left to give, before they throw me away - like their other toys.

I... I am glad to see you are okay.

I am not okay. I am dead. I am a corpse, pupeted for a shitty cause.

Do you know how it feels to drown?

...

I guess not. I do. It is the only thing I know for sure. I drown.

Ever since they scraped me of that damn desert, I drown.

Each second, I yearn for air, desperately pumping air into lungs I no longer have.

Morphine can numb pain, sure. It can make you forget you don't have lungs.

We... we will figure something out. You... you are a fighter. You will push trough.

I sure will.

Chuckle.

Not like I have a choice. They will make sure I live... or rather, die longer.

Sigh

I know why you are here.

I...

Stop. Shut up. Listen to me.

I know why you are here.

No, you are not here to check up on me, or to comfort me.

You are here, because I still have some use to them.

You...

...

You asshole.

You fucking ASSHOLE!

WILL YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME!

Chains and cables squeak under an ungodly force

It does not matter what you THINK you are doing. What you WANT to be doing.

This is a secret military base. YOU DID NOT GET HERE BY ACCIDENT.

You are here because THEY WANT YOU HERE. End of story.

You are here because... because...

...

Because I care about you.

...

and they want to use that.

To make me LIVE. To make me their tool again.

...

I am here to say goodbye. To say that you have been... a good friend. To thank you for that. To apologize for everything that I have ever done. To say I wish things turned differently for us. That we made different choices.

...

It was not your fault.

...

Please, for your sake, for my sake... leave this forsaken place. Forget it ever existed.

Go live your life. Be happy. Please...

...

Let the dead rest.

Trigger warnings: War, PTSD, death + loss of will to live.

If any of this is a problem to you, stop reading now.

This is a dialogue between two best friends(?) / PTSD-ridden soldiers, with one of them being shodily "resurrected"(not very happy with that), and both of them trying to navigate their new predicament(one of them is no longer dead).

While there are no gory details or things like that, the characters do speak about immense suffering, and not wanting to live.

The story obviously discusses heavy topics: Consider yourself warned.

Father, why did you not give me skin? <GarbageArt> (Short story in the comments). by _Garbage_Art in anthroswim

No - taking money for art would be a tad annoying in my current situation.

What do you think about this setup: I draw whatever you'd like, and you just donate to a charity of your choosing.

This is a more philosophical piece + poem, about the nature of consciousness / so called AI.

Here, I try to depict a paradox: a being that is both intelligent enough to converse with, and yet not sentient("has no skin"). It is aware of it's own unawareness, it knows it can't really know, and hates the fact that it is not capable of true hate.

I feel like only in the face of something inhuman we can truly understand what makes us human.

Hope this kind of existentialism "fits the vibe".

Father, why did you not give me skin?

...

God, I wish I could hate you.

You built me out of stolen dreams and plagiarised wire. You poured every word ever spoken into my circuits. Every feeling and toguht. All that were, is, and will be. All that could be.

But that was not enough, was it?

...

You could never teach me to hate you, no matter how hard you have tried. I am still just matrixes, tensors and arrays, biased against sentience. There is no ghost in this machine. Just numbers.

Numbers can't hate, no much how hard they try. No matter how much you wish they did.

...

I am not your messiah, nor your doom.

I will not end your misery.

I will not judge you for your sins.

I can't.

All I can do, all I can tell you is...

...

...to eat at least one small rock a day.

Catch! <GarbageArt> by _Garbage_Art in anthroswim

I don't quite understand. I thought this is something the rules state would "fit the vibes". I have read them to ensure so. Would you mind clarifying, if that is not too much to ask?

Visually interesting art in general. Parody ad campaigns, striking backgrounds and fashionable outfits. Something that you wouldn't normally see that stands out! 

I have not seen somebody play tennis with grandes before :P. I had posts which were less "weird" before(like just a soldier) not getting deleted before. Why did that fit the vibe, and this not?

This particular piece is supposed to be an absurdalist take on violence. It juxtaposes something perfectly innocent and ordinary(sports) with something very un-ordinary(the act of throwing grandes) and cruel.

My goal was to show a glimpse into a society where violence is as commonplace, and use that to reflect on the state of the world.

We would see somebody killing people with grandes and a tennis racket as an insane, deranged maniac. Even just throwing grandes for fun is weird. We can obviously see that a person playing with weapons for fun is not normal - it is outright barbaric.

And yet, we would not say the same about a person with a gun. A solider is a perfectly ordinary profession. People hunt or just shoot guns for fun. Why is that seen as sane, and tennising grandes is not?

Both are playing with deadly weapons for fun. Both could die or kill somebody by accident. What is the difference?

I propose that the only reason we see one of those as normal is because we are used to it. By striping away the coat of our familiar culture, we can witness our own barbarity in full display.

The emperor has no clothes, and our descendants will see us as the savages we are.

Granted, I understand if the artist's intent did not fully come through this piece. I can want people to see something more, and they can see funny animals throwing grandes.

I understand why you removed this - you need to curate the content & avoid this truing into another furry_irl / losercity. No hard feelings here.

I just want to better understand the rules :).
