Sekani wrote:This new angle (women overwhelmed and buried by mud) actually helps me segue into something else that I've been experimenting with from time to time. Every so often I post a batch of images showing what Bob's been up to in Redjak's underground lair. Some of these show the mud monster Bob flowing over and burying the girls alive, using his immense weight to pin them helplessly down and also using his mud smother and suffocate them.
I don't quite where this ultra-specialised niche interest in mud burial comes from within my twisted psyche. All I know is that I find it very exciting. A few years ago, with Dave's kind permission, I began moving away from pure sinking-in-quicksand/mud scenarios, where the women descend vertically into a waiting pit of mud and are swallowed up by it. Redjak began locking bound and gagged girls in drowning chambers where the opposite happened. They stayed where they were and the mud rose around them, pumped in with the specific purpose of engulfing, overwhelming and burying them alive.
But now Sekani, I think you and I might be on the cusp of exploring another new angle of our mud fetish. Where women are threatened with and buried by immense waves of mud. The frisson and the erotic charge of this fantasy seems to be the same (at least for me) as seeing women sinking into deep mud and quicksand. Seeing as you've introduced this new element in your latest video I was wondering if this is something that might appeal to you too?
We're definitely on similar wavelengths.
I've said before that I think of mud as a bondage device, and I do enjoy experimenting with the different ways it acts as such. The unfortunate victims end up trapped in various situations, and the common theme is usually that there's no way out; one way or another the mud will consume them. Quicksand/sinking is the obvious method, but also I've played with burial from above, encasement in which the mud itself immobilizes the victim, and even more supernatural takes like living vines or mud tentacles (or even a Bob). The wave was a new one, and honestly kind of an accident. Such things happen with AI, as I'm sure you know.
Back when I was solely doing images I went through a long phase of "mud prison" themed pics, which had the double constraint of the mud and the cell or cage. The environment itself was conspiring to prevent escape from the mud, and the usual trappings of the Tarzan-style situations wouldn't be of any help. Even now I experiment with various types of restraints or ways to prevent the typical escape paths. The DA link in my sig has a ton of examples if you're ever interested; unfortunately you'd need an account to view since they're all tagged as mature content.
Yes, I recall you saying that, Sekani.
About mud being a bondage device, that is. If memory serves I seem to recall reading somewhere (here or MPV or another QS site?) that being trapped in quicksand or deep mud is the most complete form of bondage that there is. Or at least words to that effect. Rather than being bound, strapped or shackled at a specific location on your body the mud envelops, traps and grips ALL of you.
Your comment about the mud consuming the victim make me wonder if there's a kind of crossover going on between quicksand fetishism and vore fetishism. In both cases the victim, even though she struggles and fights against the inevitable, always ends being swallowed up - either by the mud or by whatever beastie works for the vore fan. In both cases she is taken against her will from daylight down into wet and sticky darkness.
Yes, I also recall your 'cage' phase. I think I did one or two of those myself and I really must return to that idea.
Another point worth mentioning is our willingness to experiment and move beyond what's been called the Plop and Sink dynamic, where a damsel steps or stumbles in quicksand and then sinks into it. While that scenario remains a classic, you and I have tried to move beyond that by treating the mud itself as an active agent in the storyline. Classically it's passive, waiting there to snag, trap and swallow up the damsel. But we've both moved beyond passivity. You mention burial, encasement and living mud. Yep. Done those and like them very much.
Speaking briefly about Bob, he first appeared in my images as a means of upping the ante and increasing the terror and hopelessness of a damsel's predicament. Being trapped in deadly quicksand is bad enough. Being tied up and gagged in it is worse. But how much more terrible is it when the mud itself takes on a vaguely human form, grabs you and pulls you under?
Since then Bob has evolved from being a mud monster intent on simply drowning the victims Redjak gives him to one motivated by the man's dark fetishes and twisted sexual desires. I've been able to show his tentacles orally violating helpless women and to also show specially-shaped tentacles that he uses to violate them in other ways. But I had no idea that I would be taking these new directions when first thought to create him.
I reckon that's one of the hidden advantages of being willing to experiment - you never know where the experiment will take you.
We're also alike, not just in these details but in the wider scheme of things Sekani. The theme of there being no possible escape, a grim ending and certain death is one similarity. The measures taken to actively prevent escape is another. I note your usage of chains, ropes, inescapable drowning chambers and similar. Peas in a pod really, aren't we? We might differ in the details of how these things are done but we agree that they should be done.
Finishing this overly wordy message up and on the theme of preventing escape I carried out another experiment recently. How far can I take this, I wondered? How much bondage can be applied to a woman's body before it becomes insanely o.t.t.? Well, using Grok I found out and created this image where she's 100% wrapped up in rope and 100% vacuum-sealed inside a plastic cocoon.
Madness? Most likely. Practical? Definitely not. Arousing? That depends. Will I use it in a quicksand or mud context? To be decided.
