I think Johnny sees sex as so beneath him and far removed from himself that he also has to force and condition himself to never indulge in it in any way, he can’t think about it or acknowledge that he can even have sex at all. But he still has libido. There’s his own personal reasons for being sex repulsed (*I drew Johnny with the ace flag because it is a popular fandom headcanon, though i think he is sex repulsed and not asexual. sorry) and deeper reasons to why he avoids it, but another reason is because indulging in these things would undermine his insanity. He is not a crazy man doing things with the intention to be a pervert and the weight of his actions being boiled down to just those things would be frustrating.
He doesn’t like thinking about sex or anything like that but that doesn't stop him from having the compulsions for it which probably contributes to some meltdowns and self disgust/hatred.
And necrophilia is even further beneath him, not only is it a sex act but it is also a sex act done with something that has no real sexual appeal to him. Its kind of like when someone with an eating disorder poisons their food so they have no choice but to not eat it, once they’re dead he has no reason to be attracted to the person at all. But I feel like he’d get sort of intrusive thoughts that make him think he is a necrophiliac when he isn't actually.
With his lifestyle sex is so unnatural and forbidden for him that instead of thinking he can achieve it naturally he thinks necrophilia would be more normal or moral. Johnny can't get along with anyone or keep any relationship and he isn't going to take things by force, it's like it must be a reluctant acceptance he knows goes against himself more than it being a developed paraphilia (and again, he isn't ACTUALLY a necrophile from this) so this also would be the only way for him to get anything like that. If you have no choice this would be your last and only option to do it morally. I guess.
These are just unwarranted thoughts though, they’re brief urges that are thought in passing and vary in severity depending how unwell he is. He’d think it’s what “he” wants and then it dwindles out of mind and he forgets about it.
To be clear I don't think he’s capable of having sex in any capacity. With corpses Johnny wouldn’t ever get close enough to it to realize he can't do it, which also just means he can’t disprove he wouldn’t do these things and that perpetuates these thoughts. The worst it'd be is looking at dismembered body parts and thinking things like “Her legs were sexy” or general thoughts and compliments toward appearance while looking at a corpse. These don’t originate with the necrophilia thoughts though, i think regardless Johnny just says these things for pretty corpses since it is objective truths. It’s like mourning someone so you describe all the nice things about them but since he never really knew them the default will have to be to something he can appreciate upon a surface glance.
With more serious relationships cut too soon the compliments would be a bit more personal like thinking “I wish I could keep loving you” which implies he would if he could but the only thing stopping him is the rules he's got to remember to keep himself in check, so take that as you will.
He’s usually too wrapped up in his mind or preoccupied with stuff to realize how crazy these things are to think in retrospect paired with his necrophilia dilemma, if he did he would beat himself up for it but also it's easier for him to excuse his behavior as “im lonely and crazy” since he knows how he feels and it isn't in a perverted way. It's kind of the infamous Johnny trait of separating himself from the majority.
Not really strictly related to the topic of this post but I think Johnny has few morals he follows and they're not from genuine sympathy or empathy. At some point maybe they were made from those things but as he is currently, his morals are more of like a way to not lose himself. His personality fluctuates too severely to be able to make any new rules without contradicting them shortly after or losing the logic as to why to do/not do them. The only ones that have some validity is ones thought up before he went too crazy, it's like a way to remember how he's supposed to be and his past self is his anchor even if now he wouldn't see the reasoning to care about these things. That's not to say he follows them perfectly.
Are you interested in participating in a fandom-wide project to celebrate the 30th birthday of our beloved maniac’s story????? Then you’re in the right place!!!!!
This is a MAP, a multi-animator project, which is essentially a collaboration of different animators to make something really cool. You might think “oh noooo this sounds cool but animationnn thats intimidatingggg im not good at animatinggggg im not qualified to join” WRONG!!!!!!!!! There are NO requirements for skill or style. As long as youre creating something animated, or even slightly animated like a series of panels or a moving png. You can even do traditional animation if thats your skill!!! This is a love letter to the fans and a showcase of our creativity, not a competition!!!!!!!!
How this is gonna work: Each person takes ONE part. The video shows how many parts there are and where each part starts and ends. Each part is around 9-10 seconds, so be prepared to make your part be around that long! It is FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. In order to not have to manage receiving entries across all social medias, I’ll be linking a GOOGLE FORM to fill out. List your TOP THREE PARTS. It is not guaranteed that you will get one of those if people submit a form before you and select them, but im hoping choosing three will keep that kind of thing happening to a minimum. When your part has been secured, I will email the audio file of your part to the email you provide in the google form. I will update this post AND my youtube caption as often as i can to keep people informed on which spots are available and which are taken.
Youll notice that some parts have a bit of a specification. They are not 100% required but I would LIKE those parts to be within those themes if possible. Otherwise, you’re free to animate whatever you want as long as it is JTHM. If possible, try not to go super heavy into the IFS/S! themes that AREN’T present in the core series, since this is mostly a tribute to the main line of comics. Its not a total ban, I’m not evil, but say if you wanted to animate an entire part about just tenna and devi in the IFS context without really tying it back to JTHM, or animating a part thats just squee and pepito with no sign of nny, maybe steer clear of that?
Sign-ups will be open either until every spot is filled, or until SEPTEMBER 15TH. If i do not have enough sign ups by then, I will distribute the other parts to those who already are part of the MAP. There will be a section in the google form for if you are willing to take on multiple parts should it come to that. ALL SUBMISSIONS AND/OR CHANGES ARE DUE ON OCTOBER 15TH. You have from NOW until then to get them to me. If you have anything you want to change about your submission, please message me with your updates, but again OCTOBER 15TH is the last day to do so. The MAP will be published in its final form on OCTOBER 31ST AT 12:00 AM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.
EXTREMELY. IMPORTANT. PLEASEEEEEEEEE make sure you are COMMITTED!!!!!!!!! If you take a part and just dont do anything with it, then youre robbing someone else of that spot who is ready to be dedicated. If you arent sure if you want to or not, please wait until you are SURE
If you want to really stay in tune, PLEASE JOIN THE TORTURE CHAMBER DISCORD as I will be easiest to reach there and actively talking about it:
Check out the Johnny’s Torture Chamber 🏚🔪⛓🩸 community on Discord - hang out with 38 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
Here is the link to the google form:
Fill out this form to secure your spot in the MAP!!!! (the email textbox below is so you are sent a copy of your responses to this form)
Any questions? Message me through discord, here, or lucid.daydreaming.art on IG
Thanks, and happy animating, freaks!!!

Sorry for not posting at all i’ve been focusing my efforts on artfight lately… when i come back (after artfight) , unfortunately, i will be drawing more furries, please don’t hang me… i’ve also just been generally struggling with drawing jthm because every time i look at nny i want to murder him, he enrages me to an unbelievable degree
A little detail i want to bring more into focus is that Shmee has sharp teeth because bears are sentient now and would probably have an issue with the inaccuracy
can u draw johnny getting manhandled by the tentacles of the wall monsters? the tentacles wrapping themselves tightly around johnnys skinny body….johnny tries to wriggle and squirm out of their hold but to no avail…theres blood all over those tentacles…johnny gets all wet and dirty from the tentacles smearing blood all over him…
can u draw johnny c and edgar vargas makin out sloppy, straight demolishing each others mouths, using tongue and teeth and everything, just fuckin dripping and drooling and slobbering all over each other?
