Voretober 2024: SPACE

505 words, slow digestion, implied fatal

Stars twinkle, amidst the darkness. Well, not real stars, of course. The darkness is real, though. You were lost deep in the caves, when you felt the warm, humid air of summer blowing from one tunnel. Following the warmth back to its source, you were surprised to realize that it had already become night, a canopy of stars shining above the dark, unclear landscape. You were even more surprised when the ground changed not to grass and soil, but to the squishy firmness of living flesh pulsating beneath you. The massive tongue flicking you upwards against the roof of a mouth dotted with bioluminescent sparks pretending to be stars, before quickly and unceremoniously tossing you into a gullet far darker - and much harder to escape - than the cave system you just made your way out of. 

Dragons come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with all kinds of bizarre traits and specifications. You’ll never learn this, but this particular subtype of dragon specializes in stealth, disguising themselves against the night sky with more of those same bioluminescent specks. Nobody really knows whether the adaptation started on their outside as camouflage first, or on their inside as a lure, but the glowing white lights spread across all of their surfaces both inside and out a long time ago. 

One thing you will learn about this dragon species is that their digestive processes are, in a word, slow. Their hunting process is “hold mouth open in front of a cave entrance and wait for something to walk in”, and their method of escaping from those who would try to hunt them down is to stand completely still and blend in with the night sky, and then fade away mysteriously under the sunlight. They have no breath weapon that needs to burn vast numbers of calories for fuel, merely a very very subtle, very easily broken mental effect that keeps you from realizing that the stars are in the wrong places for just long enough. As such, with no need to quickly break prey down, they just… don’t. 

The adventurer’s guild will notice that you’re missing, sure, but they noticed it a week ago when you got lost in the caves. Nothing in particular will point them to the suspicion of a constellation dragon, there’s plenty of reasons one might never return from delving deep in the caverns. Even the dragon itself will forget about you quickly - it never even saw you, after all, it just felt something heavy stepping on its tongue and swallowed it immediately. 

So, for now, this is it. The acids slowly tarnish your armor, though the gold coins will of course pass through unharmed thanks to gold’s immunity to acid. There’s nothing to do but sit in the warm, damp puddle at the bottom of the dragon’s gut, and watch the stars twinkle from the gastric juices distorting the light they emit. Make some constellations, just for yourself, and pretend you’re somewhere far away from here. It’s the best option you’ve got.

This is the final article in my little series and I hope you guys enjoy these! I’ve been thinking of doing some more just for the fun of it so stay tuned!

The Anime We Couldn’t Stop Talking About

By Kaitlin Meaney

           No, seriously, we couldn’t. Myself and the other admins of the Trent Anime Society have been obsessing over this show for the whole of this winter’s anime season. I hope you’re willing to check it out as well because it is well worth the watch. I’m only going to be telling you my thoughts so far since the first season hasn’t ended yet. By the time I am writing this article, we are up to episode eight.

           Scum’s Wish (Kuzu no Honkai) has a very simple premise. Two students, Hanabi and Mugi, are both in love with people they can’t have. Hanabi is in love with a teacher at her school, Narumi, who has been a friend of her family since she was very young. Narumi in turn is in love with the music teacher at the school, Akane, whom coincidently is the person Mugi feels unrequited love for. Mugi and Hanabi bond over this and pretend to date in order to have intimate relations with one another while pretending the other is the person they are in love with. As the story goes on we find out that there are two more characters, who feel unrequited love for Hanabi and Mugi respectively. Ebato is Hanabi’s best friend who is in love with her and Noriko (aka Moka) is Mugi’s childhood friend and is in love with him as well. What we deal with here is a love sexagon (because six people are involved). That’s pretty ironic since there is quite a bit of sexual things in this show (I’m so funny I know).

I’ll say it once: this show is heavy. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever watched an episode of an anime and thought about how much I needed to take a break, but yet still yearned to see more. It’s emotionally draining because these characters are so relatable in their struggles in high school, and adulthood, dealing with unrequited love and the recklessness that comes along with it. It is very emotionally intimate and I found myself pitying these characters for what they were putting themselves through. It’s very relatable in its subject matter.

This leads me to explain about the sexual parts of this show. They are not explicit though they will make you feel uncomfortable. This is shown in the way that the mood is set between any two characters that engage in sexual acts in this show. There is a sense of uneasiness and insecurity instead of fluffy intimacy. It doesn’t feel like a loving atmosphere, it feels like two people having sex just because they can, not because they love each other, which is something they must learn along the way.

I will also say this about the characters: you will either love them or hate them, there is no in-between. There are many reasons to like most of them but you might find that, much like one of our Anime Society admins, you hate them all. No character is exempt from mistakes and flaws in their personality that they in turn hate about themselves. There is a reason this show is called Scum’s Wish; these characters all think of themselves as scum. The bottom line here is no character is perfect and all are to blame for some issue or another based around their thoughts or personalities. That’s very refreshing in an anime in my opinion. Each character gets just enough attention that’s needed to understand their motivations and feelings towards the events happening in the show and the people they love. It sheds a new light on each character than the one we see in the very beginning and it works for this show and its characters. The characters get deeper and we see more of who they are. Hanabi hates herself, Ebato is self destructive in her love for Hanabi, Akane longs to be loved, Narumi is thick as a brick, Noriko believes she can be with Mugi but knows it’s not meant to be. These characters might do bad things but they are not bad people. The show has a very serious tone to it and everything contributes to it. The colours are somber blues and greys, the music is subtle. It creates the perfect mood for a show like this.

I also loved how they included a homosexual character without beating the audience on the head that they are homosexual. Ebato is unique in this way. The over arching tone of this show is too complex to bring in any kind of mention of the taboo of homosexuality and I think it works for the show to use it as just another relationship in the show.

The sexuality in this show is treated with a certain kind of delicacy. Its used between Hanabi and Mugi as a way for them to take advantage of the relationship they have agreed on, using each other as a place holder for their unrequited love. On the surface, it feels very weird since they have agreed to use each other for sex, but there’s a lot more to it than that. They are finding a way to act on their desires towards other people that they can’t have. Performing sexual acts while imagining the person is someone else is not something one would normally be proud of doing. This relationship is a very unhealthy one and it is clear from the get go. I admittedly “shipped” Hanabi and Mugi (hoped they would be romantically together) despite the clearly bad setting. The show gave them good enough chemistry in their moping over crushes. I hoped that if they couldn’t be happy with them, they could be happy with each other. I hope for these characters to find happiness in their own lives, whether it be with their object of affection, together, or learning from the experiences they have. The two characters find this part of themselves shameful, but the show doesn’t actively shame them for it.

I also love how the relationship between Mugi and Hanabi isn’t the focus of the show, it’s the characters themselves. We see more than just the two in the back stories and character development of the side characters. I love how the side characters re just as important as the main ones. It really makes the show feel like a whole with every character connected in one way or another.

I will issue a content warning for this show and state that this show is not for everyone. It can be pretty NSFW so I wouldn’t recommend watching this in a highly public place but I do recommend you watch it, that’s the point of this review after all. I hope you do check it out and enjoy it just as me and my Anime Society admins have this anime season.

Introducing: Abgrund

Abgrund is the first character I'm introducing to this blog, mostly because he's the one I've been mulling over for longest. His name means 'Abyss', which is both where he's from, and a description of his stomach. Abgrund is a 24-foot wide manta, which makes this infographic from a chart comparing different sea animal sizes very relevant.

He can swim through shadows as easily as he does water, causing his shadow to glide along the ground like the Manta Storm from Mario Sunshine. So don't think you're safe just because you're nowhere near a beach...

He's got the standard sea-creature counter-shading, with a deep navy blue back and a pale grey underbelly. But his back is covered with a set of overlapping rings, like ripples from raindrops hitting still water, and these rings are bio-luminescent. If the shadow he's casting on the ground has those rings visible, it means he's close enough to the "surface" to reach up and grab you. His stomach is pretty roomy, able to fit about three regular-sized humans in it comfortably, though that's 'comfortable' for him, not for the prey. If he's going on a full binge, he can pack about six or seven in before the bulge they make is too unwieldy for him to swim around with. Once you're down his gullet, you're gonna be digested - he physically can't bring anything back up his throat because it would cause acid reflux on his gills.

Digestion is slow, but usually painless. His stomach acids contain a weak paralytic to suppress struggling due to the same acid reflux problem, but that paralytic also has a numbing effect. The sensation is very similar to the pins-and-needles feeling of lidocaine, slowly growing stronger over your whole body over the days you remain inside his - surprisingly cool - gut.

Between the inability to hear him breathing (due to having gills), the lack of physical sensation from the numbing, and the fact that his stomach is pitch-black, being swallowed by Abgrund is like being submerged in a sensory deprivation chamber. Even the feeling of your own weight fades due to the buoyancy of his body swimming around. The only sense that isn't taken from you is smell, a mix of something so sour that it's almost bitter, and the salty scent of fresh fish.

He's a nice person if you get to know him, really. He's a huge fan of stargazing, and loves to play with SCUBA divers when he's spending time in the ocean. He just has the fish instinct of "if it's small enough to fit in my mouth, it's food". Wearing any sort of diving gear is actually a pretty good way to protect yourself, because he hates the feeling of the air tanks and random metal/plastic junk sitting in his gut for weeks, so it causes you to automatically be classified as "not food". He'll even let you pet him, feeling the soft layers of blubber made from countless previous meals.

Hello, all!

Here's my pinned post to talk about the stuff you can expect from this blog. Most of it's vore, but not all. I am an adult and I expect you to be as well - if you are a minor, gtfo. Things you will see on this blog: Vore, Weight Gain, Bellies, Digestion

My own writing about vore, ranging from a few paragraphs to (maybe) full-on stories.

It's possible that I might choose to record some belly audio, and post it, but it might not happen. Still, I'll mention it so it doesn't catch anyone off guard.

Various Other Things?? Generally this is just where all the nsfw posts I reblog will go, so it might end up being a bit catch-all-ish, but I'll try to stay on top of tag organization.

Things you won't see on this blog:

Gore, Blood, Hard Vore My Tags:

vore, v0re, v.ore, all the classics for voreposts

churning cauldron - digestion

gurgling guts - belly noises

long way out - full tour

womb service - unbirth

secret sauna - bladder vore

sexagonal content - anything that i'm the original creator of

Hope that helps make things clear.

And, one last time, MINORS DNI I WILL BLOCK YOU ON SIGHT. Blogs that don't mention their age ("20s" "30s", or something like "20+" are acceptable) in their desc are on thin ice.
