Continuing our foray into NSFW fan GIF art, I’m really intrigued by the creativity that abounds in the furry fandoms. Their conventions seem to be a flashback to what I’d like to imagine Madchester early acid house to be like: a rave new world, but with frolicking fursuits. Live long, and prosper. Get your yiff on.
Of course, burrowing deeper in the rabbit hole, I have one question about mature anthropomorphic fanart: why are all the canon female characters consistently being penetrated by a floating penis or dildo?
After the jump, we look at the 8-bit GIF work of MawiIes, an Animal Crossing: New Leaf artist on Tumblr who is really into the puppy character Isabelle, and her futanari selfcest potential.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf fan art by Snopia Sketches.
First off, here’s what you need to know about the Animal Crossing: it’s like The Sims, but sans strategy. The Nintendo 3DS video game is a cutesy, cartoony life simulator along the lines of Minecraft where you get to hang out with animals, catch fish, collect furniture, outfit your own town and cultivate horticultural wonders. Your only challenge, in the words of an AC fandom Redditor, is “pay[ing] off your house to the tanuki swindler who makes Shylock look charitable.” (Another challenge may be it’s addicting real-time nature, where game time occurs on a regular seven days a week, 24 hrs a day clock.)

A major part of the game’s appeal is building close relationships with the virtual characters. Isabelle, a Shih Tzu-like puppy who made her debut in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and in the professional service as secretary, assist players in their new role as the town mayor. If you flip on the game in the morning, Isabelle will greet you: “good morning, mayor!” According to her fan wiki, she is absent-minded, and sometimes shows signs of affection for a player, especially on Valentine’s Day.

I don’t really know MawiIes, but according to their Tumblr profile, they love boobs and butts, so it’s no surprise that their pièce de résistance at the moment is the above futanari selfcest. Futanari, a popular shemale fetish among hentai manga fans, puts an interesting spin on a personal assistant video game character — some consider it a so-called “erotical illusion”, where the juxtaposition of the hyper-feminine (boobs) and hyper-masculine (big dicks) is a turn-on, supposedly for the typical heteronormative cisgender male.

Mawiles employs a similar juxtaposition in portraying a 3DS character in an old school 8-bit Nintendo system aesthetic — Isabelle is a plush toy dream, so turning the clock back suggests video game nostalgia, or an artist who has relied on a Deviant Art 8-bit Isabelle style sheet.
There’s also a real commitment in the GIF’s long-play loop — the narrative arc is true to the typical futanari fantasy, which ends with cum geyser sprays. I’m unsure about the selfcest dynamic here — is Isabelle being penetrated by a past, future or even alternate version of herself? — but at the very least, it explains the floating penis and/or dildo.
