#inb4 i end up with a kink for this just by obsessing over the world

[red-armageddon]

I bumped into the idea of the "cakeverse" today. (massive cannibalism CW)

It's basically just omegaverse, but for cannibalism. (cakes = really tasty to forks, forks = obsessed with eating cakes, for context) and i'm extremely not ~Into That,~ but i cannot stop thinking about this world they've constructed. i need to put it on a slide and look at it under a microscope. think about all the potential plotlines you could do! that HORROR of knowing you taste Really Fucking Good to some people, who will be obsessed with eating you if they ever realize you do. or the angst of "oh god, oh god, i just realized my friend tastes really fucking good, oh god, i'm going to kill them, what do i do?!"

OH MY GOD.

ARE THE TASTY ONES CALLED CAKES BECAUSE "YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO?"

that's fucking horrible if so. i'm guessing not though because i think this started in another language so i assume the terms got translated.

anyways i have so many fucking questions. is it a well-known fact that these roles exist, or does a cake get a wild revelation that they've basically been designated as serial killer food when someone tells them about the cannibalistic secret world of cakes and forks? is it an even 1/3rd chance you're one of each, or are these people exceedingly rare? is it genetic, or correlated to anything else? do forks know they're forks before they exhibit symptoms? does the fork stuff only happen after they taste a cake? do forks just have a magical cake-dar, or do they have to actually taste people to know? how fast does the obsession set in, and how hard is it to fight? does the government try to prevent any of this? is there a way to tell a fork from anyone else other than their behavior? for that matter, how long have these roles existed? do all animals have this dynamic going on? how has it shaped society? what even drives all of this? these wildly change the stories you can tell.

i'm half tempted to look up fics just because i'm fucking enamored with this wild world they've cooked up and need to know more about it. i want to write in this universe, but with 0% horny to it, because it's just a cool idea-space with opportunities for drama. why has this gripped me like this? what's wrong with me? i get why people who're ~Into~ this sort of thing are into it, even if I don't feel the same way, but what the fuck is wrong with me that i'm not and yet have thought about it about once an hour without anything prompting me to do so beyond originally discovering it? why do I have MULTIPLE PLOT BUNNIES about it now? I don't have a kink for this.

Right???
