Every once in a while we will read a fic where it's blatantly obvious that the author is deeply, deeply mortified to be posting A Fic Like This, where the mortification of posting that which they Wanted to write and presumably put effort into writing leaks right out into the fic to the point that it actively dilutes the emotional beats.

Like, you probably know the sort. It pulls its punches, even more so the more embarrassed the author is to be Writing Something, to the point that you can practically taste it in the writing - the author expects you to be just as uncomfortable with this as them, that the mere suggestion of something is so deeply Gross and Offputting and oh, it's weird of them to be even Considering writing this, that they pull back in actually selling the discomfort - that the prose grows oddly detached, telling rather than showing and cutting out reaction and follow-through and anything but the barest sketch of action.

The author's lack of willingness to follow through, their chains to the invisible audience in their head, actively impact the work, and purely to make it Worse - dulling the impact, dulling the edge, dulling the story itself until it says nothing but the echo of that invisible audience. It becomes less about what it is, and more a simple refrain. "I, the author, am afraid that you will read this and deem me strange and offputting and Bad", and that in and of itself offputs you from the story. The same impact as "oh this is probably bad", the same impact as "oh im inexperienced so don't expect too much of me aha", the same impact as talking yourself down for some illusion of Modesty.

It sucks to read. It, presumably, sucks to write. It also knocks us right the hell out of spirals on occasion because whenever we think poorly about our work remembering how much worse it gets if we pull back from what we want to write will knock us out of things enough that we'll start making an active effort to feel less ashamed of stuff we wanted to write or draw or whatever.

We should all get rid of the concept of shame entirely and just start making whatever the fuck is what we're saying we feel more secondhand embarrassment than we do firsthand nowadays and we want that to happen Less.

hi, i'm having Thoughts abt intangibility in vore and i must blabber at someone, sorry.

so intangibility in prey is rare but not unheard of, but i've only ever seen it used in an uncontrolled, accidental way? We can do so much better then that! Imagine a pred just chilling out and watching tv or smthg, when suddenly prey just pops into tangibility on their tongue. Get flavor blasted idiot

or maybe the pred has some difficulty with swallowing bc they're sick or have a throat injury, so the prey just gives their nose a hug and dives straight into their stomach to deliver some Prime Belly Rubs.

hell you could even be angsty about it!, the prey is having a freak out and the pred is desperately trying to pick them up, but the prey just isn't solid enough to be held, so the pred just lays down and closes their mouth around empty air, and hopes that the warmth would be enough comfort

and then stuff with the pred?!?! the prey just trying to walk up to the pred's face to talk to them and *whoops!* that patch of skin wasn't actually there! Surprise tum time.

or maybe they're in a stressful situation, and the prey is freaking out inside the pred so the pred just reaches a hand through their gut to gently pet their head.

also! in either scenario, could you imagine no one knowing about the arrangement, and they're looking all over the place for the prey, and the prey just pokes their head up out of the pred and just "shh! we're trying to nap!"

anyway ye, i suppose this could also be used with a slime pred, but i think intangibility is silly (:

oh like when you s/hade d/ash in hol- *cough* sorry this is not a fandom post I don't need to be dragging my fandom into it hahaaa;;

these are all very fun ideas!! I can't pick a favorite, they all work great and I really would love to see them in more stories. plenty of slime preds around, yeah, but there's so much you can play around with when giving either preds or prey the ability. and sometimes you just.. don't wanna get slimy! not until you're in the belly, anyway, eheh

oh, and speaking of getting slimy, there's the possibility for the prey to just phase all the goop and grossness off as soon as they're out. maybe not as fun as having the pred help them clean up, but certainly a lot faster. works in a pinch

the main thought that comes with intangibility is ghosts, of course, and I've seen a couple ghost preds around, maybe even a ghost prey or two, but for how much I love the concept of ghosts, I wouldn't mind seeing a few more~

and beyond ghosts, there's also the possibility of the pred or prey having intangibility as a superpower, or using magic or potions to give themself the ability! there's so many ways it could be incorporated into a character or story

Burner/Writer Anon here with whatever name you want to call me. I just realized that your name is not a joke on mp (with mph being used as a common term for muffled noises), but in fact a joke on the word nom. I am not very intellectual.

[nompunhere]

consider: bug preds

you want variety? insects represent 40% of all living species. have a cuddly isopod pred or a scary praying mantis, ur choice

having an exoskeleton means their insides are extra squishy! maybe!

(and you feel extra protected inside :) )

crazy anatomy. extra arms, extra legs, the stomach is always in some wacky location

there is something sobering about the idea of being inside a creature most humans consider the lowest of the animal kingdom, literal “pests”. what does it say about your own worth, to find comfort and fear in one of the lowest rungs of existence? what does an ant’s heartbeat sound like? what does-

i like mandibles

THE WORLD'S MOST DATING POLL

As Kabbu's birthday rolls around, the internet turns pink, and people talk about "love" and "romance" and other things like that. Very ironic, considering the man is aroace, but in accordance with the season, we have assembled some very viable bachelors to... date, probably. Dating profiles below the cut, but you can choose from cliff notes if you want, we guess, this is just so the post isn't ABSURDLY long.

Bau (short for Bauplan) - They/any - Dune Cricket - 18-21 (varies based on fic, generally tied to Vi's age) - Bi/pan

When it comes to a date, you can't do better than Bau! Though dune crickets are normally more than a bit antisocial (and cannibalistic), Bau is an exception! Terminally friendly, great at parties, and unendingly loyal - they'll do anything for a friend, and if you can get friendly with them, they'll be more than happy to date if you ever pop the question! You'll have to compete with other friends, of course - not to mention other partners, and their criminal entanglements as a Bandit that often operates as an intimidation detail but really, is it that much of a downside?

Jask - He/they - Ashy gray lady beetle - Late 20s - Gray-ace

If you want level-headed, Jask is your bug! A bandit medic with years of expence under his belt, Jask is well experienced with taking care even the most dangerous of bugs - his boss, for example. Sure, he's a bit busy with patients - but there's a tender heart hiding under that tough exterior. You just have to stick around for... what, five months? Ten?

...more?

...you'll figure it out, we're sure.

Zoza - Whatever the bandits come up with that isn't immediately veto'd (usually she/her) - Damselfly - 70+ - None of your business

The Bandits' second-in-command, a feisty old damselfly with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. She's a bit old to be dating around like you young'uns, but this old woman can still be a loving partner - prove you can contribute to the Bandits, prove that you're strong enough to not die horribly on your first outing, and manage to build enough of a rapport with her despite her many, many vital duties, and you might have a chance... if you're into grandmothers, of course.

(...is GILF a thing? GMILF? Hold on, we need to do some research...)

Marigold - She/her - Death's Head Hawk Moth - 30s - Married to her job

The most eligable bachelor on this list by far, judging by how people have reacted to her! Marigold is a charmsmith with a good, stable job, a good, stable personality, and only a little bit of active torture going on in her basement! We, uhh... aren't entirely sure how you're planning on getting her out of her lab and into the dating scene, seeing as she hasn't really been anywhere near the zone of "dating" since she was... what, sixteen? But we're sure you can figure it out.

Agapanthus - Variable (genderfluid) - Orchid mantis - Older than you'd think - Pan

A waiter(and sometimes waitress) at Club Maenad, this mantis knows exactly how to show you a good time. Charming and attractive, even if they've been banned from bartending for the forseeable future, and flexible for nearly anything you might need in a partner, if you slip in the right compliments between rounds, you might very well have a shot! Just... keep in mind the waiver you signed at the door, and please remember that this is a bar for parasitoids and bugs of species prone to eating their mates.

ZM-32 - It/they - Io moth/cordyceps - 100+ - Fungus

Bugaria's most eligable bachelor! Everyone wants a piece of this, and for good reason! It'll be fierce competition, but maybe, just maybe, if you can evade the deadly lasers and circumvent the persistent hatred for the living that tormented it and its colony for years on end... you could win its heart.

Chips - He/they - Two-striped grasshopper - ??? - Has Better Things To Worry About

Green is in this year - and so are grasshoppers. This one is dateable! Probably. Just be sure to cosy up with him before his gambling debts do, or he might get eaten by a large praying mantis before you get the chance.

ZB-162 - It/its - Cordyceps symbiote - 100+ - Switchboard Operator

...are you into responsible bugs? Are you into fungi? Do you enjoy dating people who are preoccupied with regulating and operating the communication network used by an entire cordyceps colony? Well, ZB-162 might be the bug for you? Though, uhh, often occupied with its job, ZB-162 is a fine specimen of the cordyceps species, and certainly very attractive if you... if you...

...okay, we won't lie to you, this one's a bit of a fixer-upper. Not sure how you're going to drag them away from the communication channels long enough for

The Wraith - ??? - ???????????? - Reported active since Elizant 1's reign - ???????????

Mysterious figure from the Ant Kingdom's criminal underbelly. Married, but you can still shoot your shot, we guess...???

Marble - she/they - Wasp - late 20s - It's In There

…didn't this one get blown up? We're pretty sure this one got blown up. If you pick this one, you have to take mandatory bomb safety courses, we think.

Unit of Radioactive Decay - They/it - Iterator - First activated in late Gen 1 era - Aroace

This is... a building, but you can still give it a try, we guess? Honestly, we have no clue how you found this one. We're pretty sure it's not even a bug.

L2tM & Enot - Any u can call us anything u want bb <3 - Former iterator & karmic wyrm slugcats - Gen 1 & ageless wouldnt u like to know - yes

Why are you two here?! Get out of our fucking poll!!!

of course!! to be honest, my B/M/C hyperfixation only lasted a couple months, but I still love the concept and characters! and your AUs, too :> I'd be more than happy to pick it back up for a bit if you start posting for it again, heh

the concept of the S/quip was really neat to me, I've been a fan of the Sharing A Body trope for a long time and he pretty much fits right into it. plus his design (canon but also fanon) PHUCKS. as for his personality... he's a binch but I'm kind of a sucker for those types ngl .///. absolute bastard man but I Just Think He's Neat. in the kind of "study him under a microscope" and "put him into situations" way, y'know?

and then there's Jeremy and Michael and Christine and all the others and UGH I LOVE THEM they're just DUMB KIDS and they deserve to be HAPPY and HAVE FRIENDS. they make bad choices sometimes but they learn from them and grow and they deserve to have time to fool around and hang out and form relationships (be it platonic or romantic) and find their places in the world. learn to be themselves, in all their many different ways

and also eat each other for Fun and Profit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hi!! hello!!! welcome back!!!! you're the one who introduced me to the nonsexual vore community on tumblr!!!!! did you know that!!!!!!

in all seriousness, I found you through your BVC work on Ao3 originally. I had just found out I liked vore and was exploring it via fanfic. and I had been interested in getting into B/e M/ore C/hill, and stumbling across your works was the last push that convinced me to go watch/listen to it, so I could read the wealth of fics you'd posted lmao. and from there, I found your blog, and the tags for the type of vore I like, and now here I am!! you were, of course, one of the first people I ever followed from this blog, if not the first

so I just wanna thank you for all that you once wrote, and for being such a prominent figure in the safe/soft/nonsexual vore community! at least back when I first found it, eheh. in a way, you're the reason I've made the wonderful friends I have here on tumblr, and why I grew brave enough to starting posting art and fanfic. the whole "if no one else is going to make it, might as well do it yourself" thing, since nonsexual vore was rather scarce for my particular hyperfixation before I got here

you have NO idea how excited I got when I saw you follow me back, not too long ago. and you have no idea how glad I am to see you active here again!! so, and I say this with my whole heart, welcome back <3

Ahhh my gosh thank you so much!!! I always feel like I’m just floating out here on a weird little space rock but I get so floored learning just how many people learned they were interested in vore or found a new respect for it from my writing. I’m trying to get brave enough to post my writing again after a lapse of silence and it always makes me happy knowing there’s still interest for sure! And seeing that there’s so many people on that side of the community now; there were barely any when I was around, and now it’s like an explosion of life and color over here. It’s been beautiful to come back to, really.

Just keep doing what you love and others will follow is what I’ve been seeing! And thank you so much for the warm welcome aaa

(And ofc have to ask: what are your thoughts on B.M/C haha? I just got my hands on the book and I’ve been rotating it still in my mind)

Reminder: “Extreme Cuddling” was intended solely for Safe SFW Vore.

Now that I’m back over here, I’m putting up my lil sign again to remind everyone as the original coiner of the term that it was specifically designed as a pocket for folks interested in clean endosomatic content, not as a replacement for the Vore tag overall that tumblr axed. At the time of its creation, this niche didn’t exist, and this was my way of filling it without running into triggering content.

Please respect that and use other tags for hard, fatal, and NSFW content.

And feel free to reblog this as you wish! I’d like others to know as well.

[nompunhere]

have a great day

re: my last post

lol. lmao even

[nompunhere]

Have a good day!

heh, you too anon. thamk <3

[nompunhere]

btw do you have an hk sona? not planning to rp just curious?

I do! Maybe someday I'll even finish their ref sheet. Or perhaps just decide it isn't something that "needs" to be finished and post it as it is

They do actually exist somewhere on my blog already, if you go looking, but I don't think I made a tag for them yet?
