If My Last Draft Post Didnt Explicitly Spell It Out. I Love The Spider And The Fly Dynamic In Vore. What

If my last draft post didn’t explicitly spell it out. I love the Spider and the Fly dynamic in vore. What I mean by that is I love Preds that can’t get to a prey unless they cross certain boundaries first and who slowly wear down a prey psychologically not with threats or meanness but with pure unadulterated charm and affection. Especially if it’s entirely sincere but entirely deadly regardless. There’s just something about a creature that can’t go against its nature to the point it doesn’t know how to not kill you, only how to lure you in with honey rather than vinegar. Also the tragedy of a prey who’s so used to being treated badly that there’s something almost comforting to them about knowing damn well that no matter how nice the pred is they’re ultimately still dangerous. Like the prey is so broken they can only accept the niceties because they know it’s coming from something unapologetically dangerous.

This probably says something about my own trust issues to be honest. But let’s not analyse that too much.

I usually focus on single target vore at least on screen. But the idea of a pred who is pretty ruthless and gluttonous having that one prey they refuse to eat not because they don’t want to but because they actually care about them is honestly amazing.

Especially if they have like a cuteness aggression response that causes their stomach to growl and stuff. The idea of a usually confident and pretty selfish individual getting cagey or flustered about exposing that part of themselves to someone they actually care about is just...*chefs kiss*

“Were I not incapable of mercy, I would grant it to you in a heartbeat”

Okay back to your regularly scheduled vore talk. You know the character I’ve been using in my recent snippets is kinda my ideal when it comes to Preds. Bastion knows damn well he’s a monster, he also has precisely zero idea how to be anything else. If he didn’t have all these rules governing his existence Ida would have been gobbled up day one. But because he does have rules it allows for the illusion of restraint. Bastion is essentially a tiger pacing in a cage. But he knows that’s what he is and because of his attachment to Ida he tries to use the restraints put on him to his advantage. To be with her in ways he otherwise couldn’t even as he tries again and again to catch her. He’s essentially gaming his own nature in order to spend more time with her. He can’t not want to catch her but he can stall with the best of them and stall he does. Until he cannot find it within himself to stall any longer.

I feel I should clarify something because of my last post is Bastion an ambush predator or an active hunter? The answer is that he’s mostly an ambush predator. But he embodies spiders in general not any particular spider. And in the previous snippet there was that unspecified bargain to take into consideration. Bastion can’t actually leave the Manor usually but he can be summoned and what’s summoned isn’t technically his true self. Or you’d hope not anyway, summoning Bastions true self would likely also summon the parlour and that’s a terrible idea. It’s more like summoning gives permission for a new proxy manifestation. In the case of the snippet one designed to protect and attack which means leaning heavily on the influence of things like the Huntsman spider, given most spiders are not actually designed to operate openly. He’s also a pretty old and powerful Fae creature and even a homebody like him is going to pick some magic up over the years. Hence why the monsters are very much dead despite Bastion perhaps not really at first seeming like the kind of creature that would be good in a fight. Against something actually in his weight class he’d likely have significantly more trouble though. But most things in the Forest surrounding the Manor are emphatically NOT in his weight class.

Inexplicably rocks up to my voreblog, doesn’t post vore though. What a tease.
