so i finally sorted out my thoughts on why i like being prey (like the fundamental motivation behind it), and i explained it pretty well in dms with a friend of mine, but its something i wanna share more generally, so im also just gonna put it here.
so i break vore down into 4 main quadrants in my brain
fatal pred
nonfatal pred
fatal prey
nonfatal prey
for me, being a prey in a fatal dynamic is all about the idea of giving myself to someone else. knowing that giving someone what they want will kill me, but it will make them happy. that i can help take care of someone whos hungry. that i can use my life to make someone feel more whole or to feel happier (thats why i mostly do willing prey stuff). its almost like a caretaker type thing in that way.
on the flipside, nonfatal prey dynamic to me is about feeling protected, in spite of circumstance. its about knowing that there is someone who was essentially programmed to kill me. who was built to tear me limb from limb without giving it a second thought. as thoughtlessly as youd down a glass of water. i like the idea that, even if im supposed to be insignificant to someone like that. that theyre supposed to eat we without even thinking about it, that someone like that could come to care for me. that i could really mean something to them. that i could be someone that, in spite of everything, they grow to love so that they would do anything to keep me safe. that they would take their stomach, a place that preythings usually go to die, and make it safe just for me. because they love me so much that they want to make that safe for me. and that i love them so much in return that, no matter how big and strong they are. no matter how much their tummy growls for me, i dont doubt for a second that i really am protected in there. that theyd do anything to keep me safe.
i know that there’s also a side of vore that centers around degradation and dehumanization, but even on the pred side, that’s not really ever been my lean, so i can’t speak to that much. i’m the kind of girl who’d cry if i was tasked to degrade someone (or was degraded myself) but would happily carve their flesh. pupys odd like that.
anyways, ramble over. go kiss your preds. and if youre one of my preds, i love you very dearly. yall make me feel so safe and loved <3
