Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is object v0re and a misunderstood pred.
Somebody who has a reputation. Maybe they're physically imposing, have a resting scowl or "dead eyed" neutral expression, or were put in a situation before where people saw them act aggressive or voracious. Whatever the case, there's rumors, and those are only exacerbated by the constant belly they're sporting. Almost never seen without a heavy, stuffed gut, people assume they must be picking off prey on the regular or keeping some poor soul longterm. No squirming from inside spotted even, so they must have really strong digestion, how brutal! Dangerous, unapproachable, cruel, try to steer clear of That One.
But all it takes is someone close to that pred to gently, casually ask "Who's with us today?", for that person to shyly mumble something like "Kuromi...". Because the truth is, that pred can't handle going anywhere without one or more comfort object plushie in their stomach. Being able to think about that character holding them from inside through the hard parts of every day is pretty much the only thing that gets them out the door. They're also too nervous to correct any of the assumptions about them because somehow it's more embarrassing to admit you're a plushie carrying adult in public than a big, mean, scary jerk.
The pred's closest friends do know the truth of course, and make an effort to treat the plush as part of the group and totally acceptable for pred to have. If someone is really, really trustworthy, they might even get to meet the plush companion themselves during a trip into the pred's belly.
