I Usually Imagine Bastion With Just One Pair Of Chelicerae, But I Saw Someone Elses Drawing Of A Humanoid

I usually imagine Bastion with just one pair of chelicerae, but I saw someone else’s drawing of a humanoid spider monster with two sets of chelicerae and a pennywise-like jaw-split and I was like “Okay but this would actually absolutely work for Bastion” and now I’m kinda torn.

The prey is in a dangerous place where predation is rampant and they could be snatched up at any moment, of course their pred friend can’t stand for that and snatches them up first.

You know I read a Hannigram fic once where Hannibal said he’d eat every part of Will and then sleep in the same bed as his bones. I don’t know how practical sleeping with bones would be but it came off as ghoulishly sentimental in the story.

*whittling your leftover bones into various tools and art pieces*

I’ve been hitting the Hannibal fanfiction again and every time a story just casually has Hannibal contemplating eating Will in a way that implies he doesn’t want to share him with anyone else in complete contrast to his usual MO of feeding other people the evidence. I’m like: “That’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard. You go cannibal man!”

Role reversal but in a scenario where that should just straight up be impossible. Like the species turning it around on the pred? Categorically should not actually be able to. The society? Totally sided against the “prey” to the point you’d think it wouldn’t even occur that they could fight back let alone like this. The biology? Totally against the species presently turning things around. This isn’t just a world where pred and prey can switch places, no, like demonstrably what is taking place should not be possible but evidently in this case it’s happening and a predatory species who had no inkling they were in any danger, suddenly finds themselves on the menu.

Staggering eye contact between the pred and prey during vore. It can’t last of course because the pred has to obstruct the preys view eventually while swallowing them. But while it lasts? It’s very hot and intimate.
