Description

As you can see, Red here is engaged in some strenuous activity with Vaporeon—all the while brandishing a Pokeball in his direction, a devil-may-care expression on his face.
Now, is this a fetish illustration? They're furries, so it's a fetish by default, technically.
And yet, if you were to show this to Aunt Meredith, would she perceive what's going on here? She might nod and say, "Sure, I see it. He's going to catch the Vaporeon. Vaporeon, like on the Internet." She has eyes to see, yes. But would she recognize Mt. Tai?
Or suppose you had to explain this to your boss. "Why did you make this, Ratarang? Why do you keep showing me your weird crap?" I think we can all agree that no answer would satisfy the unspoken question.
Maybe I'm overthinking it. Sometimes you just want to make a picture of a guy going "oh no, whatever will become of me," while the other guy is like, "heh, I got you now." I don't think that's too much. That's valid.
And you really can't go wrong with Vaporeon, can you?
But what is our hero doing with that Pokeball? Very specific thing to do to someone. It's not the sort of thing you do, generally. There must be some kind of motivation behind that. You wouldn't go whipping out your Pokeballs willy-nilly. And he's got a little bit of a look, doesn't he? "I might do something crazy. In fact, it's on the table. We could go down that road."
And there are no doubt questions you may have for fish boy, the first of which is, "How did you end up in this situation?" To which he would say, "I'm just working through some stuff, okay?" Do not press him further.
