Evan is vegetarian, but not in the way a normal person would be. He doesn't eat meat to not kill animals, but because he finds the taste of it disgusting. He doesnt eat any vegetarian meat either, Evan gets most of his minerals, vitamins etc from medication and supplements, mainly because he can control exactly what gets in his body and how much of it. He has a sick relationship to food and has no intention of ever stopping it.

I do headcanon him as cannibalistic tho, if he eats human flesh, then not for food but because of the thrill and high of it. Sometimes Evan looks at people and thinks about how they would taste.

short books recs (under 200 pages)

1. Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa

This book follows Sentaro, who runs a dorayaki stall, and his friendship with Tokue, who makes killer sweet bean paste. It is a heart-warming and endearing story that brings you comfort. I love the friendship between Sentaro and Tokue, especially seeing how it develops. The ending feels a little rushed. I kind of wished it was longer. Kind of sad. I cried. 10/10 would read again.

2. Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

The Funiculi Funicula cafe provides a time-traveling service, and the book, divided into four parts, retells different characters' experiences traveling in time. I always associate time-traveling with angst and regret, and this book has just that. I love how each part explores different relationship dynamics, so the time-traveling experience varies for each character. Very heart-warming, but very emotional as well. Cried a lot. It's a series but you don't have to read other books. But if you want more info on the cafe and the characters' backstory, then I highly recommend reading the other books.

3. Heaven by Mieko Kawakami

This book revolves around two students, who are victims of bullying. Due to their shared struggle, a friendship blossoms between them. The depiction of bullying and its impacts is raw and authentic, the story providing the perspectives of both the victims and the perpetrators. It was a rage-inducing but thought-provoking read.

4. The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa

This book follows Nana the cat as he embarks on a road-trip with his owner, Satoru. Now, cats are my absolute weakness. I love cats. I WOULD DIE FOR THEM. Which is why reading this book was hard and painful. The writing is witty, since it is written from the perspective of a cat. The plot itself is kind of predictable, but it doesn't make it any less painful. Tldr; Shredded my heart into pieces. Cried so hard, I couldn't breathe.

5. Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn

The story follows the main character, Yunjae, who suffers from a rare condition called Alexithymia that essentially makes him unable to feel emotions. Due to that, he couldn't understand social cues so people shun him. The development of the story centers on the people Yunjae are going to meet, and how his relationship with these people develops. The ending felt a little anticlimactic, but I loved it nonetheless.

6. Eartheater by Dolores Reyes

The unnamed protagonist can locate missing people and find out their fate by eating dirt, so people seek her to know the fate of their missing loved ones. It was definitely an interesting read, with elements of magical realism in relation to the protagonist's ability. It is also an intriguing depiction of femicide, a reflection of a system that continuously fails women. I felt rage for the women failed by the system and the sufferings they had to endure at the hands of hateful men.

7. A House is a Body by Shruti Swamy

This book is a collection of short stories, which is a raw and authentic depiction of what it is like being human. I enjoyed certain stories, while some left me utterly confused. The narratives are enticing and poetic, so despite some stories not hitting that hard, I enjoyed the writing.

8. The Vegetarian by Han Kang

After having a bizarre dream, Yeong-Hye declares that she is turning vegetarian, and this sudden change concerned her family. I made the mistake of thinking that this book is merely a depiction of what it's like to be a vegetarian. HELL NO. It utterly deviates from my expectation. I could only describe the book as bizarre and spooky, in an unconventional way. It depicts the complexity of the human mind when the contraint of societal expectations is disregarded.

Shout out to my fellow regressors who don't like the usual foods everyone always recommends!! I'm not a fan of mac n cheese and dino nuggets, which most food rec posts contain, I eat more "adult/healthy" things when regressed and I LOVE to cook and can do so without much trouble, even things like grilling and using a stove/oven :)

I know there's definitely other regressors who don't like that stuff too (not to mention the vegan/vegetarian regressors, and the ones with food allergies/those whose disabilities prevent them from eating certain things too!!) and I just want everyone to know that no matter what you eat, you're completely valid!!

Feel free to share your favorite non-traditional foods/recipes in the notes, I'd love to hear and am always up to trying new things :D

Note from AnonPolls: Anon, normally I don’t comment, but I wanted to give my input. Beyond Meat and jackfruit are my favorites. Soy is good too. Jack and Annie’s is a good brand for jackfruit products.
