#like it’s visceral and intense

[thefanciestborrower]

I think it’s so interesting how we as a community really like exploring this soft, beautifully poetic quality of vore, but only ever seem to do so in writing. I’ve seen so many lovely poems and short stories waxing on in beautiful prose about the beautiful inner workings of the human body and the intimacy and trust that comes with having another person literally inside you, but when it comes to art you almost never see that. Sure art often focuses on those same qualities as well but...they’re never emphasized as beautiful in quite the same way I think. And maybe that’s why my art is so soft and almost like...classical feeling? Because every time I draw I want to capture that poetic beauty in a visual format. Something that, while painting a visual picture, also evokes a very special sense of awe. Even in the silly little scenarios I draw or the spookier pieces I post every once in a while I find myself trying to integrate older styles of poetry and artistry I don’t see much now. And maybe...maybe that’s why my art feels so nostalgic...

Who knows

Perhaps I’m just a hopeless romantic

#to be clear I’m not saying anyone doesn’t do this or that it’s bad people like drawing in different ways to capture different feelings #I was just musing about how you don’t see many pieces that focus on this very specific feeling of common #yet abstract beauty you see in older artwork #and if my quest to capture that style is what makes my art feel as soft and nostalgic as people have described it before #because I think we focus too much on the OMG TEETH AND STOMACH AND INSTINCTS AAA aspect of vore in a lot of art #which isn’t bad lmao I do that all the time and I don’t plan on stopping #but we focus so much on the intensely...visceral? aspects of vore that we loose something special #safe fatal doesn’t matter #they all are capable of having this quality and idk I just #I wanna see it more #soft vore #safe vore #vore mention #vore thoughts #Cj speaks #don’t mind me just getting philosophical #this post was brought to you by me drawing classic lit vore

do i post my long explanation of empathy vs sympathy re: roman tonight or is that just excessive

#like warning it is Long. will cut it down some bc i wrote it in a mad frenzy at 3 am in my notes app last night but still #tl;dr: roman is intensely empathetic and entirely devoid of sympathy. the seemingly contradictory displays of compassion vs disregard/ #cruelty are not contradictory at all and make complete sense if you understand the actual definitions of empathy and sympathy. i’d argue #that while rome’s capacity for empathy stands out in a show a #of people who are not prone to empathy his complete and total void of sympathy is much more unique in terms of humanity at large. it’s just #a show filled w cruel people so it’s less noticeable that the forms of cruelty he displays are rooted in empathy/lack of sympathy rather #than sympathy/lack of empathy like kendall and shiv (and just most people more generally) #sympathy is predicated upon difference distance and logical dissection of emotion while empathy is rooted in identification intimacy and #visceral experiences of emotion #you guys just literally do not know what these words mean. but that’s fine ! most people do not ! they are frequently confused and conflated #! that just doesn’t mean they SHOULD be. so . maybe i can help w that #also for further reading edmund burke is an absolutely fascinating figure to read esp his writings on british imperialism #although the term he uses is sympathy mehta & other later thinkers who have talked ab him have concluded that his cosmopolitanism of #sentiments/sympathy is much more like the modern definition of empathy (the words have shifted meaning slightly over the course of history) #or rather that the sentiment is empathy but the push to action is sympathy and combining together u get the cosmo. of sentiments #but basically burke is the founder of modern conservative thought basically. he is also the only british thinker who at the time of british #occupation of india actually spoke out against imperialism. this is because he viewed others not from a lens of sympathy/pity (feeling bad #for their plight) but empathy (identifying with their circumstances and placing himself within them) #love burke bc i find it so fascinating how someone i disagree with so frequently also holds a mindset that i value greatly and is anti- #imperialism despite everything else about him #kind of like rome in that sense. except rome’s sense of empathy is slightly broken because a) he doesn’t have any sympathy to supplement it #with and b) his visceral/emotion/gut instinct leading way of viewing the world + the way obscene wealth makes the rest of reality feel #fungible = inability to feel anything towards that which he does not identify #and unlike burke rome is too skewed by wealth and his upbringing to see resemblance in the masses and empathize w them #the other sibs function using sympathy and feel bad for the poor without having to relate to or understand them #but roman doesn’t do sympathy. he doesn’t feel FOR people he feels what people are feeling instead #but only so long as they’re seen as people. sympathy requires hierarchy so not viewing others as ppl v much allows for sympathy. #empathy requires some level of perceived horizontality so rome cannot empathize w that which is not horizontal to him #me: should i post this long thing? also me: posts another long thing in the tags that’s a long short summary of the much longer actual post #anyways. ahem. back to work

Talk To Me was good.

#talk to me a24 #talk to me 2023 #not to get too spoliery but like #very clear and INTENSELY VISCERAL drug and party culture analogy #like they should revive DARE but just show this movie to children #aa+

[mavencalore]

probably no one will see this but if anyone remembers me from years ago i just wanted to say that it’s been 7 years since i read the grisha trilogy but i JUST watched the show and i literally feel like i’m 14 again and i STILL love the darkling more than anything in the world

#the DARKLING #these books rewired my brain lmfao #like i had such an intense and visceral crying sobbing breakdown after the season 1 darklina content because i literally #FELT LIKE I WAS A TEENAGER AGAIN

listening to alex g feels like i’m floating on my back in the pool at night staring at the stars while really kind of melancholy. but it also feels like i’m living in the forest and my body is tree bark. but it also feels like where my mind is while i’m spacing out sitting in a church service i was forced to go to. but it also feels like i’m face down on a pile of cool rocks right on the shore of one of those beaches that’s only made of rocks (in a good way). but it also feels like swinging with my friend on a playground as an adult while no one else is there. but it also feels like a barley field. but it also feels like a firefly landing on my finger. but it also feels like

#my family is not religious but i’ve been forced to a couple of services regardless #i do not like it #alex g is also one of the things that gives me the most violent intense and visceral gender envy of all time i don’t know why #anyway #TAKING HITS FOR YOUUUU CAUSE I WANNA FEEL LIKEE IM SUPPOSED TOOOOO

omg!!! just had a very self-involved revelation about my personality/whole deal!!! I think one of the reasons for the intensity of my love of the things I REALLY love is that it’s both instinct and choice? like. I am very used to choosing and used to being proactive about embracing things and finding things to love and seeking things out because I Have to be because my actual instincts and desires are too lazy and/or hard to parse (I don’t even understand my own desires or what they are) to actually be my guides so there is some part of me that is very, very active in shaping and responding to my own emotions and desires but sometimes/???? my desire to choose to love something coincides with a deep, deep, deeeep instinct and love for something that’s just, like, all guts and viscera and intuition so when I love that thing it’s the full force of my choice AND my natural desires

#i'm either having a breakthrough about myself or just describing the human condition #lol #but i really feel this!!!!!!!!!!!! #i just do a lot of things because I know they're good and/or appropriate and/or the thing to do and often i will just fling myself into it #wholeheartedly #but there are secret buried instincts lurking at the bottom of the fish pond that is my heart #that occasionally rise to the surface enough for me to see them #and then it's just like. me loving that thing because i can't help it. me loving that thing because i am choosing to love that thing #with my whole heart #and it's INTENSE #ANYWAY THIS IS ABOUT LOVING ROMANCE #i spend so much time CHOOSING to love it and understand it and contemplate it and be in awe of it #and also just. there's a purely visceral love of romance in me to begin with #that i have uncovered over the years #i can't decide if it's a choice!!!!! getting swept away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #like yeah. sometimes it's both. #idk if this makes any sense

FINALLY A HAMLET 2000 TRUTHER

VERY NICE TO MEET YOU I AM OBSESSED WITH HAMLET 2000. my friend and I put it on on a 3 am whim intending to make fun of it but the further in we got the more we were turning to each other like "wait is this good? is this actually good though?? holy shit?? why does this go off?"

#some may argue that the blockbuster scenes or the faxing or the painfully 90s outfits date this movie but I #enlightened #am here to argue it was actually ahead of its time. #its time hasn’t happened yet or anything ofc but it Will come #hamlet #ask #every day I think about his stupid fucking hat. #also that uncomfortably long shot in 1.2 of hamlet and claudius talking reflected fuzzily in the half rolled down car window while a #sharply in focus gertrude beams up at them over the rim.. like. she's so.... #+ the commitment to utter unaesthetic-ness: hamlet’s super cluttered depression apartment & cars honking on the new york street #& 4.3 in the LAUNDROMAT— ham 2000 is the 2d production I've seen where hamlet kisses claudius after 'man and wife is one flesh'' #a concept I like a lot more than the traditional gertrude kiss bc it's kinda in line w how he's been fucking with claudius the entire scene #(though ethan hawke kisses them BOTH. a choice I am OBSESSED with. get it I guess) #as a pretty subdued unenergetic hamlet I def wouldnt say its my fave performance but there are like. so many fascinating choices #the action movie motif.. the airplane motif.. biker horatio.. marcellus as his girlfriend who's just silently in the bg for all of act 5?? #also BILL MURRAY POLONIUS and actually all the ophelia stuff was such a Take. #that intensely uncomfortable scene with the king & queen where hes telling them about her relationship with hamlet as she slowly wanders #along the edge of the pool... it's SO visceral like that's. that's exactly how being a kid feels. #no agency.. your parents telling people your personal shit while youre just There. and zoning out to cope #anyway I'm tired but so much abt the framing & symbolism is so oddly compelling I can't go through all of it #a lot of it I just didnt know what to think of too loll like setting the ros & guil scene in the club.... #them having to yell to be heard over the music is such a specific and awkward vibe as to be intriguing #but also they cut the most interesting part of that scene lol I was disappointed #+ they cut the gravedigger which is.. in line with how little they showed hamlet's sense of humour and odd bursts of energy and such :( #but anyway it's undeniably a fun watch with a friend #I'm definitely forgetting some stuff there was a Lot

It's almost December, you know what that means! Time to listen to carol of the bells and nothing but carol of the bells until the clock strikes 12 on new years eve

#god it's such a good song #So many christmas songs aim to capture the warmth and familiarity of the common ideas of the season but carol of the bells stands out #specifically because it's. like #it's very distinctly a WINTER song #like the bite and the cold and the subtle INTENSITY of winter's harshness are so PRESENT and it's such #like it's such a subtle acknowledgement of how biting the season surrounding christmas is and I really like it #like the commonly included wordless choir in the background evokes the swirling howling majesty of a bleak winter night so viscerally #it's driving me up a WALL #The climb of the vocals? The rising intensity and the understated ending which leaves you with a sense of biting emptiness?? #It's so striking so intense it leaves such a mark on my psyche I can't get over it #Carol of the bells slaps it's my favourite piece of holiday music by several miles listen to carol of the bells please I'm begging you #I could write an essay. Like a real essay on the way it's embedded itself in my brain through its distinction from other christmas music #It's so good

these violent delights is actually kind of ruining my life because i’ve never read something that portrays a characters self hatred so thoroughly and unavoidably and entirely Needlessly. it’s tearing me apart if i’m being quite honest

#the way paul hates himself is so Blinding and intense that it’s so difficult to read #because it reflects my own way of thinking so much that it feels like a personal attack #honestly if anyone ever wanted to truly understand what goes on behind my head i’d tell them to read this #because i’ve never seen the most gross and regretful parts of me put down and i. i don’t even know #some of the things that julian says to paul have Literally been said to me #and there have been moments where it’s so intense that i just have to put it down because i feel so nauseatingly sickeningly Seen #it’s such a . visceral reading experience for me it’s . god it’s a fucking lot #especially that part over the summer where him and julian are apart #and he’s so doubtful and suspicious and paranoid i felt fucking Sick #because julian loves him so goddamn much and no matter what he does paul just Can’t believe that anyone could ever love him like that #yeah it’s been a truly horrifying reading experience for me and not for the reasons i suspected #but because it’s like i’m being thrust in front of a mirror and forced into look at the grimy reflection so closely for the first time #this book has made my chest tighten and literally almost made me sick from how real it is. cannot stress enough how much i’d recommend #these violent delights

DC Special Series (1977) #27

#I actually really liked the portrayal of Bruce’s temper in this issue #I feel like Bruce is often portrayed not so much as having a temper #but as an ordinary guy that immediately transforms in any tense situation #so it was actually a bit shocking for me when he grabbed that guy and yelled at and insulted him at the beginning #it felt like his reaction was actually a part of him and not like he was being possessed by something outside of himself #and then when he actually transforms he stays himself a little bit longer than we might usually get #so it's a genuine treat to get to see his visceral intense expression #when he’s still physically Bruce #and him yelling ‘What are you doing here? What do you want from me? Tell me what you want!!’ #which again comes across as coming from Bruce and not from the Hulk #marvel #bruce banner #my posts #comic panels

I'm the right brand of crazy cuz I instantly recognizes ortho as kumatte Chan in ep 4 of my new boss is goofy

#Shouta aoi is the seiyuu #And intense visceral reaction to this bear talking #Just to say something I'm so pleased that my new boss is goofy isn't afraid to deviate on the source material #In a good way like add on to it #my new boss is goofy

i'm a simple bitch: the security guard at the beginning of feast of friends says "gary lester?" and i start crying.

#ooc tbt. #the fact that we got Live Action Gary Lester......Live Action hellblazer issues 1 and 2...........it makes me INTENSELY emotional #it is ALSO the sleepiness which i AM about to indulge #but i just have such a visceral reaction every time i hear it #would Never have believed we would get a live action constantine when i started reading those comics and then we DID #if y'all were here with me in the days when we got the legends of tomorrow news. You Know What I'm Like

i was so insane for this

#something something visceral violence and intimacy in the blood on each others hands FROM each other #something something the helplessness of standing outside of a superhero/vigilante #knowing they can die at any moment and you and no one else can do anything about it #so you NEED to work a thousand times harder to find a way to keep it from happening no matter what the universe says or demands #i was so INSANE for this!!! #this isn’t dc sorry this is from daiya. someone commented on this fic and i wanted to come back to this moment #this scene and the one where they’re taking out the bullets are the ones i’m proudest of #the latter bc it is so HEAVY and emotionally intense. i dig deep for that. like REALLY deep to describe it the best i can #and then this. gestures to earlier tags. you know #it may not seem like it but i am the most proudest of this fic because i executed it perfectly #like from what was In My Brain and onto paper #like idk the dilemma of being a civilian and your loved one being a vigilante/superhero. i really like how i did it #proud <3 and insane <3

thinking about dirks spiraling self hatred and how hal, through becoming an outsider to it, has turned that self hatred into love

#Shitpost #dirk is so often struggling with self love. He loves everyone else so much that it can be possessive #but to himself he sees his flaws and dwells in them and fights himself #Where Hal had to learn how to give up the identity of being Dirk. Hes still Dirk but hes had to let so much of Being Dirk go #And in watching and caring for Dirk (as someone who can understand Dirk on this visceral internal level... #What was self hatred in Hal #in what used to be Dirk inside Hal #Turns instead to a love of other #that intense and possessive caring Dirk has for others. But now it turns both inward and outward at once #and Hal is just full of this love #(this is. Specifically about my fanfiction universe for Time Displacement and like. Not canon. Lol)
