Does tentacle porn count as "vintage" yet?
I guess I should’ve gone with “retro”
Oh my GOD you guys, I KNOW about The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife. (And think ukiyo-e is oversold as hentai predecessor.) I’m not talking about the origins of the theme but its currency.
Like… the parallel would be heavy metal. (Which you could trace to Wagner, but shouldn’t.) How once it was big and iconic, the leading style of rock when rock was the leading style of pop, but then faded from the mainstream, kept alive as a minor niche thing. And now is teed up for revival.
I think there’s something interesting in how popular hentai thematics of “sexual threat” went from tentacle-era “insatiable cock demon taking women by force” to the NTR-era “scummy guy who seduces your precious beloved out from under your oversensitive/hesitant nose by giving her the sex object treatment she secretly craves”.

In the beginning there was nothing, so God made everything.
On the first day all was darkness, so God made light, and it was day, and else was night.
On the second day all was one, so God divided it, sky above, world below.
On the third day the world was blank, so God raised up the earth, and made it flower, and else was sea.
On the fourth day the sky was empty, so God made the stars, and the sun, and the moon, and set them in their place.
On the fifth day the world was still, so God made the birds, and the fish, and loosed them to fill the sky, and the sea.
On the sixth day the earth remained, so God made the beasts. Finally God made men, and gave them his form, and gave them the world.
On the seventh day God was satisfied with what he had done, and rested.

Because if the objection is “hey, that’s our respected and beloved savior, only you’ve degraded him by way of the lowest and most bestial human physicality”
then the correct response is
“wait, how else had you been reading the crucifix?”

And *immediately* after this is where it starts getting tricky - I want to incorporate extra-biblical Christian mythology, specifically the angels and the War in Heaven, but where?
If I’m going with Lucifer as the garden snake, and trying to maintain chronology it’d have to be wedged somewhere in Genesis, but hell if I’m a stickler about chronology the angels would need introducing either before or within the 7 days of creation but that’s too iconic to fuck with.
Other possibilities include:
Adversaries - mythologizing the notion that angels were syncretized in from another religion by introducing them in the context of the Exodus or Babylonian captivity. Draw on Ezra, Isaiah, maybe even Revelations?
Fall - after telling the creation and garden stories from God’s perspective, retell them from Lucifer’s, essentially incorporating Paradise Lost in the middle of Genesis. Would set up a theme of dualism that could be promising but also could become a chore to keep servicing.
Cain - jumble them in with the nephilim and the other weird pre-flood shit, intimate that the flood was a divine reboot Titans/Olympians style
