#deep benb

[cuddlecave]

dunno if you still like hl(vore)ai but i had a thought. deep sea benb swimming with gordn in they belly. call that shit a submarine

oh trust me, it still occupies the majority of my vore thoughts

adding to that submarine joke, imagine deep sea benbl with a clear middle. gordos can see outside! submarine viewing window.

[cuddlecave]

OH YEAH hi people who don't follow my main blog. i made deep/leviathan benbl but Real

Leviathan Benry art doll

he's finally done fjalsdj

took me like a month to make, though some of that time was waiting on supplies to come in the mail (and also to be able to afford those supplies).

his head, hands, and wing claws are all made of cosclay, and the fabric is spandex. he has a fuctional jaw that opens and closes! the majority of his skeleton is plastic doll armature, though his wings are a mix of craft wire and a clothes hanger wire, and his head tendrils have craft wire in them to help hold their shape.

he's about 30 inches long from the tip of his beak to the end of his middle tail, and has a near 40 inch wingspan!

his backbone spines, ribs, collar bone, elbow points and hips are made from shaping hot glue on the quilting batting his body's bulk is made from.

video showing off how ~*sparkly*~ he is under the cut!

Hi, haven't been by in a while, vore brain went dormant for a while ♠️

Idea where Gordn is working at a facility where they say they have a mer captured. Said mer is of course Ben.

They do the usual "Gord sees mer Ben, feels sorry to see such a majestic creature in captivity, vows to help him escape" type plot. Except when Gordn gets this scrawny mer to the ocean and puts him in, Ben Changes.

He seems to rejuvenate, his dark scales illuminate with hidden lines of bioluminescent spots, his seemingly withered fins restore and fan out.

He also abruptly grows in size. He used to be smaller than Gordn, and looked so sickly. Now he's huge, and fully revitalized. (Cant decide if he stays relatively humanoid, or if he starts shifting towards your Deep Ben design. Never was a mer, but a restrained eldritch)

Gord is staring at him in awe when they both hear security or soldiers coming their way. Gord had planned to hop onto a small boat nearby and making his own escape, but Ben has other ideas. One hand, now big enough to wrap fully around his rescuer's torso with ease, emerges from the water and snatches Grdn up as gently as possible. He can't say much, he doesn't want to give away their location, but when Gord cries out, suddenly alarmed and wondering if releasing the captive mer was a good idea, he tries to comfort him with a small dose of blue voice. Gordn has only a moment to be mesmerized by the light, and then it dissipates, revealing the rapidly approaching maw of the entity he tried so hard to save. He can't bring himself to fight or cry out, subdued by the blue as he is. He's helpless as those jaws close on him, surprisingly careful, and he's pulled in and swallowed.

Ben hurriedly nestles the confused and frightened human safe away deep inside, curled up in a pouch with an air supply, then heads for open water, eager to escape his captors reach. It won't be the end of their troubles, he knows. Gordn will have to go back to land sooner or later, once the search for Ben has died down a little. But Ben will happily keep his kind, brave little human within, sustained and protected by Bens own body. It's the least he could do, Ben thinks as he cuddles at the weakly squirming form inside. Girdn seems frightened, but Ben projects reassurance, alongside happiness and gratitude. He would never harm him, his favorite little human.

Gord was still uncertain, having been swallowed whole by a giant sea monster(?) But despite his anxious squirming, he was growing more and more hopeful of his situation. He hadn't been chomped, he wasn't dumped in acid, and the air in his little holding pouch had yet to go stale and suffocating. He had hoped and prayed that it meant his holder didn't intend to hurt him. Maybe he was wrong, maybe this being had been deceiving him all along, and that facility had imprisoned it for valid reasons...

An odd call echoed around him, sounding almost delighted. Gleeful. He felt gravity shift around him as the giant mer(?) presumably dove and swooped through the water, reveling in this newfound freedom. Gordn flailed a little as he was thrown, and he tried to readjust. The movement lessened, and a deep, happy croon rumbled through his entire body as the creature suddenly pressed in around him. He couldn’t suppress a yelp of alarm, worried at the loss of space, and potentially air. The walls squeezed him firmly, kneading him and curling him up further. Dozens of fears darted through Gordns mind, worries of being crushed, suffocated, or trapped forever, but all those fears were soothed by a wave of more strange light, and a voice echoing from all around.

"Thank you. You helped me. Now I will help you. You are safe with me."

(Ends up similar to the main Deep Ben concept, just that when Gord asks to be let go, Ben only says "not yet, not safe" instead of "nah, I'm keeping you." This Ben knows how it is to be trapped against your will, he would never do that to the guy who risked so much for him)

eyyyyyy welcome back!

and dohohohohohohoho

[cuddlecave]

thinking abt giant benb and gordn. its like the middle of the day, benbs been out for errands (they're at the point in the relationship that gordn trusts him not to be a public menace) and gordn hears a knock at the door. he's like 'o shit boyfriend's home :)' and he opens the door to be greeted by snoot. full on sea creature muzzle in his fucking doorway (benb got lonely while shopping and wants noms)

knock knock, get the door, it's your boyfriend!

[cuddlecave]

oh yeah, I decided that leviathan gordn deserved some bioluminescence. so his spots and the ends of his barbles can glow now

[cuddlecave]

hey remember when i drew that design of gordn in the “deep benb” AU after benb gave him some aquatic augmentations, and said that i’d also thought up a more fully “ascended” big sea monster form he’d eventually end up getting to be more on his big sea monster BF’s level? over a year later and i finally fuckin’ drew it 8^y also, size comparison. he’s not quite as big as benb, but is still Very Fucking Massive.

[cuddlecave]

♠ nah, wasn't with any specific variant in mind. Just want Shenanigans, silly mode active

well good because

l o a f

[cuddlecave]

the mention of the nautilus got me thinking of somethin entirely different.

gordn is a deep sea scientist, and is sent in a one man mission in a submarine to previously unexplored depths. there's been wierd sounds and seismic activity recorded here, but BM doesn't tell him that. he's just there to test the capabilities of their new manned submarine and take readings.

except that things start to go wrong. he loses contact with the surface. and he keeps hearing strange sounds, seeing strange sights in the cameras. then the alarm blares - the protective casing on the sub is failing. as well as the navigation. and the motors. this thing is going to fall apart and he's going to die at the bottom of the ocean.

and just as water starts leaking in, the casing on the sub breaches in, and gordn flinches - panic overwhelming his mind just as he thinks he's about to die.

except he's not.

because benr, a massive underwater creature, has been circling this little interloper for the better part of 4 hours. there's something alive inside, but he can't tell what. and then it starts to shriek - stuttering and falling lopsided towards the ocean floor, its alien lights flickering out and leaving them in darkness (which benr prefers, and it allows him to swim closer)

there's something in there, and he wants it. he's got to crack this thing open like a wonder ball. but he's smart enough to understand that whatever's inside may be destroyed by the force of the water rushing in. so he does the only sensible thing:

he takes the whole one man sub into his mouth, and, keeping his lips shut, gently bites it open. what falls onto his tongue surprises him. something warm. something warm and alive and gasping for air.

being a deep sea creature, ben probably doesn't have access to air. so let's say that sweet voice nonsense can generate air, replacing the water in his guts and mouth.

gordon coughs up water, half unconscious. ben gently pins him to his pallette and spits out the rest of the sub - he has his prize. he swims deeper, back to the trench he calls home, to curl up and prod at the warm little creature in his mouth.

ben knows what a human is. but humans aren't supposed to be down here. he closes his eyes and lathes his tongue gently over his little captive, building an image of him in his mind through touch. so, so small. but strong for a human. thick around the middle. long hair. tastes like sweat and neuroticism. something about it - him - interests ben, even though gords not awake yet.

gord is gently coming to in the warm confines of bens mouth. the cold, cramped interior of sub and the frigid water spilling in has been replaced with bone-deep, humid warmth. and something warm and plush keeps pressing against him, moving him around. the jostling rouses him and he opens his eyes to ... darkness. is he dead? it takes him a moment, but only a moment, to put several things together - his sub breaking. the humid heat. the strange pulse against his skin and the movement of his surroundings -

he's inside something living. his sub broke, he didn't die, and something fucking ate him.

his first instinct, of course, is to panic. he thrashes in bens mouth, not really thinking about the fact that the deep sea is outside, just - acting on instinct. he doesn't want to die like this, swallowed alive by some unthinking monster.

Ben is taken aback by the sudden movement. he can't talk to gord and tell him to calm down, so he pins the tiny creature with his tongue, trying to still his movement. he's also just... curious. about the way the movement feels in his mouth, different from anything else he's ever eaten.

the attention only makes gord panic more, though, so ben decides the only thing he can do is swallow him down so that he can use his mouth to speak. Then maybe he can get this little guy to chill out.

this is getting long and im tired, but ive got more ideas for what comes next :)

I've seen similar kinda stories/aus like this where they just have benb as a giant mer, but.

I'm thinkin more along the lines of Deep One benb

grats gord, you just got rescued by gamer bro cthulu!

[cuddlecave]

in which gordo’s new sea-dwelling eldritch friend gives him a tail and he’s not really sure how to feel about it ha ha. i’m prob gonna go back and shade this later and post that version to my main first BUT!!! i wanted to share the “sea buffed” gord design already so’s y’all could know what i keep picturing. ...i’ve also thought of a more... ascended version, but i’ll have to maybe get to doodling that up tomorrow or something. also don’t ask how his swim trunks are staying on with that tail. weird eldritch bullshit or something idk

[cuddlecave]

🍄 when gordn gets his aquatic upgrades from deep benb, it probably means that he's got to get digested and reformed, huh?

gordn's still recovering from the deal w BM, huddled in a warm fold deep inside ben, when ben suggests it. that ben can heal his arm, and, if gordn wants, give him some eldritch style aquatic upgrades. make living down here easier for him, share some of his own power w gord to make him stronger, more resilient.

gordn thinks on it for a while. he's tired of how much the surface world has hurt him. ben has saved him, time and time again. he's made it clear that he cares abt gordn. gordn wants to be closer to him. so he accepts bens offer, whatever that entails.

he isn't really sure what will happen. and ben has a bad habit of not explaining things. ben knows already that it won't hurt, so he doesn't feel the need to explain anything as the pouch gordn is curled in squeezes in, suddenly firm and unyielding. thick ooze seeps from the walls, warming and numbing his body. gordn squirms, and ben only tells him to relax. so he does his best to still his beating heart, and lie still.

the walls squeeze gordn tighter and tighter, contracting more with each undulation. he feels hot, and the slime around him is thick, and he suddenly can't tell where he ends and ben begins. right before the lack of air begins to hurt, gordns consciousness is pulled away from his body, and he falls into a deep sleep.

ben has to focus on remaking gords body now that it's fully absorbed. but he's also cautious and protective of gordns mind, now held within him as well. he can't expose gordn to all of his mind, all his sensations - it would overwhelm him. ben can sense so many things gord can't. so he very carefully limits what he shows to gordn, and gently wakes him up.

gordn wakes up in darkness. he isn't cold - but he's not warm either. in fact, he doesn't feel any temperature at all. but what he can feel - and it is feel, not see - are stars. all around him, a shimmering nebula. and then all at once, all those stars focus on him - oh. those aren't just stars. they're eyes, too. they're ben.

and before he has time to be intimidated or scared, he's filled with a sense of love. love, and adoration, for him. he can feel just how much this eldritch god cares about him, like the feelings were his own. it's overwhelming - to know the depth of bens affection. to know he actually cares so, so much for his little human, that he'd go to any length for him. ben pulls back just a little, but not before gordn can internalize just how much he's cared for in these depths

bro that is so so sweet. that's another thing i love with the whole "big powerful eldritch monster falling for regular ol' human," is when said human realizes just how much this basically-a-deity cares about them.

[cuddlecave]

Reread thru the deep Ben au and I'm having angsty ideas for when Gordn got taken.

Suppose constant exposure to Ben, being literally inside him, has changed him some how. Its subtle, neither of them noticed, but he is slowly adapting to this new life. An alteration in his skin, changes in his eyes, etc.

BM definitely notices tho. They have data on Gordn from before, taken when he went to routine physical exams before the mission, and the differences are quite obvious when comparing both sets of data. They decide to take samples. By force.

Gordn does not cooperate in the slightest, so instead of taking small, reasonable sized samples, they get angry and just take his arm. At which point Gordn panics.

He reaches for anything, searching for Ben's presence. The eldritch always spoke partly in his mind, so he could be easily understood, and after spending so much time together there's a small bond forming. It was strengthened a little when Ben would occasionally call out to Gordn while the human was on land, asking him silly questions.

Now, Gordn subconsciously digs for that bond and desperately reaches back, crying out in pain and fear.

Ben, who had recently notice Gordns absence and was still debating on whether he should just let the human go if he wanted away so bad, is not expecting the call. The terror in that mental cry shakes him, and he reaches back without hesitation. He sees Gordn being held down and effecticely maimed, and he reacts violently. Not with Gordn, his human is snatched away as carefully as he can manage, tucked into a poich for healing and comfort cuddles, words of reassurance whispered directly into his mind.

As for everyone else in the room, they're suddenly choking on lungs full of seawater. Not just their lungs, actually. Every cavity in their bodies is now overflowing with ocean sauce, straight from the depths of the most concentrated brine pools Ben could find. Not a pleasant way to go, but nothing less than what they deserved.

With his immediate fury temporarily abated, Ben divides his attention for a more gentle matter. He's still consoling Gordn, the human has gone nonverbal and is just trying to bury himself in a stomach fold. It pains Ben's heart and stokes his anger back into a burning rage, but he needs to think long term. Gordn mentioned at least 4 people that he still cared about within the Mesa walls, and for his sake, Ben will be genuinely merciful. Given all Gord said about them, they aren't hard to find. He doesn't grab them too, but he does whisper.

Something's wrong. Something's happening. Maybe leave for a few days, take a vacation. You don't want to be here when tomorrow dawns.

Tom and Drnld get the bad vibes and clear out quickly, only slowing down enough to help Harold sneak Bbby out too. It's easier than it should be. Anyone who should have stopped them always seemed distracted. They don't question it, they just get out and get as far away as possible.

Now that he's certain that his wrath upon BM won't harm Gordn even the slightest, physically or emotionally, Ben is free to wreak havoc.

oh i LIKE that. i wonder if after havoc has been wrought, ben reaches out to the sci-team again, give them word that their friend gordn isn't dead actually. and uh, the reason their old workplace isn't really a thing anymore is because 'mesa was trying to make gordn's alive status not a thing anymore (or at least, that it seemed like to ben). they can't see him yet, he needs time to recover, but yeah he's okay. and in literally the safest place he could ever be. when gordn does show up again a week or two later with this weird guy they'd never seen him with before but who gives off the same weird vibes as that voice they collectively heard in their heads, they got SO many questions.

[cuddlecave]

Soft thoughts for the Deep au.

Gordn has to stay on land longer than either of them really want, but he has to clear up some legal issues, if not for his own sake (he basically lives w Ben by now, no need to participate in Legal Matters) then at least for his family.

When all is said and done, he makes a beeline for the sea. Ben has been observing him for a while, making sure he's okay, and he perks up when he sees Gordn approach the coast. He keeps watching him, so intently, making sure he's certain Gordn is coming to him, not making any pit stops to do human things.

As soon as Gordn sets foot on the sand, Ben snatches him. Uses eldritch nonsense to cover up the vanishing act, straight from the beach to his tum.

He was too impatient to wait for Gordn to make the swim down, he wants to hold his bf now.

Gordn is dizzy at first from the sudden jump, but he laughs it off as Ben starts cuddling him, welcoming him home.

VERY cute ;v;

[cuddlecave]

🍄 thinking abt the time Gord spends getting used to his new body, while he's still not confident enough to leave Bens body.

He's got access to way more chambers now. As he swims down, squeezing through cramped passages and swimming through open caverns, all made of bens black and glimmering flesh. The paths split and merge, creating a massive maze - it reminds gordn of an underwater cave, with its twists and turns and endless depth. But whereas underwater caves are frigid and hard, bens guts are warm, safe, soft.

While exploring deeply, brushing against the warm walls that thrum with life, breathing in water that has its own gentle warmth - he feels a spike of panic. Wait. He wasn't looking where he was going. Is he lost? He's seen this fork in the tunnel before. What if he's lost and he can't find his was back up -

And all of a sudden the walls squeeze in around him, pinning him in place. He gasps, tensing, before bens voice rumbles through him. He felt Gord's heartbeat pick up. What's going on? And the walls relax a little, but still gently knead at gordn in what Ben hopes is now a familiar, comforting gesture.

It takes a minute for Gord to come down, but when he does, first he chides Ben for startling him (though it did stop his actual panic) and then as he admits he was worried he got lost, he realizes something. He can't get lost. He's inside of Ben. Ben is always with him, and can easily squeeze him back up the right channels if he wants to return to his little personal chamber. And more than that, the entirety of Ben is his home now. No matter where he wanders in these dark, warm tunnels, he's home, and he's safe, and he's loved.

Gord starts to nuzzle up against the walls as he explores, to hear bens pleased rumbles and trills echo around him and remind him where he is. If he ever gets tired, he can press himself into any fold and it will collapse around him, kneading him to sleep.

can't get lost when your friend always knows exactly where you are! (because you're in their body and they can feel where you are) this is so sweet omg

[cuddlecave]

🍄I can never get mobile home ben out of my head... So here's some thoughts

After living inside Ben for so long, what comes to mind when Gordn thinks of him changes a bit. When he thinks "Benr", it isn't always Bens smug little face that comes to mind. Sometimes it's warmth, and darkness, and pressure. Organ walls that glow dimly and press in. A feeling of safety. A feeling of home. He spends so much time inside, surrounded by organ walls, that the concept "Ben" becomes intertwined with "Home". Bens insides are as familiar to him as Bens face, moreso, even. Rather than missing seeing Ben from the outside, Bens insides become part of who and what he is to Gordn. He cuddles up to plush flesh with the same relief as someone hugging their SO after a long day - bc that's exactly what he's doing. When he's been out for a while, and he gets homesick, he yearns for darkness and warm, strong muscle kneading at him. To him, that's what home is - and that's what Ben is.

I think this would be especially apparent in deep benb au, since gord can hardly see true form Ben all at once, and only sees his human form sometimes. It's kneading walls and welcoming folds that Gord knows best. He falls in love with a great living cavern that holds, surrounds, and adores him.

this is........ so very good.............

[cuddlecave]

rly like the phrasing in the last ask, of ben deciding to Keep gordn. bens not human. he's an very powerful, eldritch beast. he doesn't really have human morality - as far as he's concerned, this little creature that fell from the surface all the way down to his depths is his for the taking. and he did take gordn - he crushed his submarine between his teeth and swallowed him down. anything he puts in his mouth is his, and that includes gordn.

gord doesn't really get it at first. he's scared for his life, then this creature starts talking to him, telling him he's not supposed to be down here, but that's ok, because ben will protect him. he isn't sure what to think, as he curls up in the folds and lets himself be held.

Ben decides he really likes the feeling of gordn snuggled up in his insides. he focuses on the little weight as he swims, thinking. if he's keeping this human, he's got to take good care of it. him. what do humans need? air, obviously. well, ben can make that from water with his powers. food? there's plenty of fish in the sea. shelter? bens already providing that! his guts are the safest place in the whole ocean. gord doesn't know how lucky he is. it may take him a little while to consider what gord might want, however.

now here's a fun trope reversal: a human affecting the feelings and way of thinking of an eldritch god, rather than the other way around. it's at first like how you usually hear deep ones viewing humans: tiny, insignificant, no where near the level of themselves. benb's viewing and caring for gord the way a human person might a hamster or something. benb loves his little human, but in the way that you'd love your pet. at first, anyway. as benb spends more time with gord, watching and listening to him, he finds himself starting to care more about the human. about how he feels (beyond just 'safe/comfortable'). about what he thinks. this especially starts growing after the first couple of times benb takes gord back to the surface and takes on a human guise to keep following him (he wouldn't need the guise to keep gord. he can get gord back without even having to leave the ocean, if he so desired. contrary to what others might think, his reach is not at all restricted to just his apparent physical location.) he gets to see gord doing stuff back on the surface, back at his human home. see him living instead of just existing. see him be really happy, happier than benb had seen the human while down in the depths. benb really likes the sound of gord's genuine happy laughter way more than the nervous, bitter or forced laughter he'd been hearing up until now. trips back up to the surface are more frequent. in fact, they're up on land more than down in the ocean these days. benb learns more about humans than he did before, which helps him improve his human act, and realize what does and doesn't stress gord out or make him mad. benb also comes to realize he's developed some rather human emotions, too. most notably, love. he's in love with gord. which is absolutely ridiculous- something like him falling in love with a human- but he honestly doesn't give a shit. what he DOES give a shit about, though, is his newfound crush's health. humans are SO fragile, and their natural lifespans are depressingly short. benb doesn't wanna have to say goodbye forever so fucking soon. and that's when he brings up to gord the idea of letting benb make the human a bit more like him. gord could still choose to look human and live amongst humans and do all his usual human stuff like before.... but he could also come hang in the ocean with benb, no subs or diving suits or mandatory tum time needed. experience the deep sea the way benb does. he wouldn't turn into a full-on Deep One of benb's status, but he'd still be stronger, and tougher, and live longer. buffs of amphibiousness and an extended lifespan. benb really really hopes gord takes him up on the offer. lucky for him, gord's slowly discovered some New Feelings, too.... :3c

[cuddlecave]

ok im awake again so more.

gord is awake in bens mouth. all he knows is he's inside something, and he lashes out, kicking, writhing in bens hold.

bens a little stunned at first. sure, he's swallowed live prey before (although this isn't really prey) but this fragile little guy is pretty strong for something his size. when he comes back to himself, he gently pins gordn against his palate again, which only causes gordn to freak out more.

Ben can't speak with his mouth full. so he does the only sensible thing, and pushes gord to the back of his mouth and swallows.

gord, for his part, is thrashing and pleading to no one, sure that he's struggling fruitlessly against an inevitable death. he's nearly crushed with the swallow, dragged down by kneading muscles with his limbs pinned against his body.

gordn spills into bens stomach, which is achingly warm and plush. although gord can't really appreciate that right now. he's too busy panicking, trying and failing to get a foothold in the soft flesh. his foot slips into a pleat, and he's quickly pulled down into a warm fold, just as the chamber begins to fill with a strange blue light.

gords heartbeat begins to slow in spite of his panic. he feels like his bones have fallen out of him, and all he can do is go limp and be cradled between the muscular folds of bens stomach.

and just when he's given up all hope, he hears a voice rumble around him:

"hey. you uhh. aren't supposed to be down here."

and then gord just thinks he's clearly gone insane or something. "nah bro, you're not gonna go crazy just looking at me. not how that works. though you might go crazy in love ha ha" grats gord, gamer bro cthulu is now (badly) flirting with you :P
