This final speech centers Anatomy's most painful acknowledgement that bodies shaped by conditional worth, abandonment, and isolation will long, and wait, and hunger, until the need itself becomes hollow and destructive.

"Anatomy"

[reference picture used: x ]

Fanart made in GIMP for the videogame "Anatomy" by @kittyhorrorshow. I used a photograph from unsplash as a reference.

Inspired by the Jacob Geller video "Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House". The premise and idea of Anatomy immediately caught my attention, but I didn't really know what to do with my fascination for the longest time. Until a few days ago (at the time I am preparing this post), when I suddenly had a few ideas for art featuring houses, and this game was one of the things I immediately thought of.

For this piece, I wasn't quite the satisfied the whole time I made this. Lots of little things that annoyed me or didn't quite turn out how I planned. Might be I am (at the time I am preparing this) having a bit of creative exhaustion perhaps. Still, I like the end result overall.

I really wanted to make the windows look like glaring eyes, and reference the ending of the game with the 'mouth', while also showing the decay of the house. I initially thought about including a casette or tape recorder, but couldn't quite figure out the best place for it.

(Btw I have no idea what the artstyle for this should even be called. It started as pictograms, but it also kinda reminds me of FAITH The Unholy Trinity? Idk. Does anyone have an idea what this is?) (Also, note 2 - at the time of preparing this, FF3 has just come out. Which also includes a house. I also still have another WIP relating to houses. Weird how similar things sometimes seem to appear in high frequencies huh?)

[ID: screenshot of the transcript for I am in eskew episode 19 Bug:

Time passes, and the bug does not stop. In fact, it manages somehow to push itself back up onto what must be it’s front, screeching and whirring in triumph as it slopes a single inch through the mud, agonisingly slow, towards my shoe-

I stamp down again, and harder still, and I shout it this time.

“Stop it. Please stop it.”

Nothing stops.

And the fireworks break out again, the same pattern as before, and I know in my bones that I am trapped, somehow, in this park, in this moment of time within this park, that Eskew could trap me in a thimble, that there is nothing that cannot be made a prison.

[ID: screenshot of the transcript for kitthorrorshow's Anatomy:

Have you not been paying attention? Did it not occur to you that as an organism existing within a greater organism, your intrusion would be felt? And still you harass. And now, like the wayward spider who witlessly settled on a sleeper's tongue, you will be swallowed. Because the truth is this. When a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth.

END.

End ID.]

'the earth churned, and the house is what came out. gruesome little cluster of verandas and spires, gables and windows. the earth kept rising, like a tick filling with blood. drank from the earth all around it and in that way laid claim. all to feed the house, up atop that hill like a queen on a throne, surveying.'

'I won't be alone anymore. when they come to visit me. and I've let them in and they've come to see me and I've chewed off all their skin. I won't be alone anymore. it'll be so nice not to be alone. I won't be alone anymore. I hope someone visits me soon. I won't be alone anymore.'

'you used us up. we are angry. come back tomorrow.'
