What, you thought liquid girl was all fun and orgasms? Without proper controls, it’s a nasty, squicky mess.

Found at (where else?) Disturbing and Provocative Art.

Oh dear, trouble. And trouble of a familiar kind if you haunt mad science enough.

From Youjuu Toshi’s Wicked City, and found at the tumblr World Apart.

Two scenes start close in place, identical in time.

Naturally one of them is a shower scene. In tribute to which, a vintage shower illustration.

It is from Hoodoo that Voodoo, a very fine tumblr I am proud to say I follow.

A colloquy over the stolen potion ensues.

For my part, the cultural tastes of my girl Tricia are rather appealing. Here’s a real-world version of the poster on her wall.

I mean, it’s a movie containing a forty-minute gunfight inside a hospital! What’s not to love? Poster source here.

And he’d have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling parents.

The Korean dialog is pure Google translate, so don’t hold it against me too much if it’s actually gibberish — I think it’s meaning should be clear enough from context. I don’t know if it would be any consolation to Aloysius, but he’s at least not alone in fiction in having his life dicked with in undesirable ways by his parents.

Tricia adopts the classic Venus pudica pose, which suggests either an impressive familiarity with Renaissance art or a limit to how strong she’s willing to come on. An example of the pose from art.

The “woman wearing only a towel” is of course a classic trope, especially in advertising. Here is an example.

Found at the tumblr Vivat Vintage. I’m sure that the makers of Lifebuoy soap were mere trying merely to provide a thoughtful symbolic context for their hygienic product and not crassly attempting to exploit anything.

In which our new, improved Aloysius goes a-bathing, and attracts favorable attention.

Hercules and the showers brings to mind a truly heroic piece of sculpture, the Farnese Hercules from the Baths of Caracalla.

Impressive, but I cannot help but note that Aloysius, thanks to applied mad science, is better hung.
