So I went over a tiny bit of just sappyness on Twitter a while back, bit I just wanna get all my mushy gushy thoughts out here. Cause I wanna just scream dammit!

The vore community in my experience has been a hell of a roller coaster for me. I used to lurk in it for the longest time and just silently watch all the content I could. The most I would do in those days is RP it and even then it was way more of a shameful thing for me to like. But even seen I started actively contributing to it since around 2019, It's been a real eye opener.

I've met some of my absolute best friends through vorish antics and strengthened others with it. It's actually where I really started to be more social and open with sharing ideas! Hell I even met and bonded with both my past and now current romantic partner! I couldn't imagine that being a thing! I got to meet and talk to some of my personal art idols through it and I can actually call them my friends! I even got the courage to travel out of my state and meet vore people in person and that was just a high personal victory for me given my homelife. Like legit, the vore folks I talk to are some of the nicest and most creatively fueled people I know! Hell, even got me to like furries way more than I ever thought I would.

But it's not just people skills I got from it, I also got a chance to really flesh out my ideas and majorly improve my art! My friends keep pointing out that I keep getting better and better with my rendering and poses and lighting and all that! It's so bizarre to look back at some of my older pieces cause I can see where I get better. Mostly from drawing just mouths and flesh constantly! It's wild! Vore's always been more of a storytelling tool for me than anything. The character interactions and settings that allow it just are a great way to engage my brain in all the ways I can figure things out!

Ans speaking of figuring things out, I think one of the biggest things it's done for me is kept me in a comfortable spot long enough to be able to learn more and more about myself and the kind of individual I am. Like the fact that I'm ace. I used to think that aceness was a sign that I was missing something because I didn't know anyone else without a real indifference to sexual actions. Like just another reason to be confused about why I didn't really understand what everyone else did. So when I learned that a lot of people in this funky little obsession also were using the term ace was a huge revelation. I could like something and find people that liked it for the same reasons outside of it getting them horny. I have no issues or qualms with people that do like it for the kink side, but it's just as reassuring to know that I have my niche in here too.

It also allowed me to just indulge in ways that reality couldn't provide for me. Closeness to people, protection, controlled adrenaline rushes from fearplay stuff and just I think a desire to be wanted? The prey side really coming out here pfffft. Or even on the other end just people wanting to have me close. Trusting me to be pred for them. It's a really nice and reassuring thing.

The point I want to make is that I'm beyond happy to be aware and somewhat a part of you vorish people of all shapes and sizes. You helped me through a lot and I can only hope that I can give back a fraction of what you've done for me in terms of providing fun art content or just talking about this weird yet delicious fascination of ours! Love you guys a lot!
