shirts, socks, underwear, and shorts are the “meat” of an outfit because you feed them to the washing machine after one use. jeans, jackets, scarves, and some hats are cartilage because you use them a few times before washing them. shoes, belts, and jewelry are bones because the washing machine cant digest them. this concludes my TED Talk
You telling me the washer vores my clothes
okay listen im fucking SICK of how this site treats “vore” as a synonym for “eat”. vore is SPECIFICALLY when you can see the outline of the person being eaten and/or see their distress as they travel down the throat and into the stomach. just eating something isn’t “voring” (not a verb by the way) it any more than calling someone a dickhead and punching them is BDSM. i hate that you put me in a situation where i had to write this paragraph and i hate that i knew enough to actually write it
I came here for an amusing analogy of clothing and food and now I must watch the struggle and anguish of a someone having to explain vore properly just so that it can’t be abused on posts like these.
instead of thinking about it in terms of predator and prey, I think it’s easier to view it as a preference for devouring, versus being devoured. just because you want to devour someone in one situation doesn’t mean you can’t yearn to be devoured in another, right?
but let’s consider the ouroboros for a moment – the snake devouring its own tail. in that kind of situation, the snake has become its own prey. it is being devoured to the precise degree that it devours. you could say that it has achieved vore equilibrium – the point at which the desire to destroy is equal to the desire to be destroyed.
and why do people generally find vore appealing? for those who want to be devoured, it’s the fantasy of returning to the womb, melting away into physical unity with the devourer, dying as an individual and becoming food for something greater, yielding totally to authority. for those who want to devour, however, what is the appeal? desire for the beloved so strong it could kill them. the fantasy of total dominance. the desire to possess totally. demanding that the lives of others be subordinate to your own. the thrill of hunting and overwhelming something weaker. the fantasy of being the ultimate apex predator. sadism that is willing to kill.
but it isn’t always clear-cut like that. there’s vore in which the party being consumed is dominant – for example, a goo creature oozing down the throat of something and using its body as a vehicle/controlling it from within. there’s also vore in which the devourer is submissive. the line between “eating and being eaten” almost vanishes altogether in the niche branches of vore (anal vore, unbirthing, etc). instead of devouring or being devoured, it’s about the desire to be full and the desire to fill.
but what about the population that identifies with both?
what if the predator and the prey have no boundary between them? what if the devourer and the devoured are simply competing sides of the same organism? we started out discussing the predator as the Other/object of desire, and then we spoke of the prey as the other/object; but what if both are the Self, struggling against itself – two halves of the same inseparable nature?
which brings us back to the notion of the ouroboros.
just moving along like everyone else
