What is your most ideal pred and or big eater type?
6 years ago
I'm talking the pred that hits all the right buttons for you. Where you just see them and you is like, "all the fucking heck yes please."
Things like species, personality, alignment, age, body type, dispositions, sexuality, table manners, whatever, you know, all that good shit.
Like for me, this is what a truly perfect pred or big eater looks like:
A big boi of the scaly variety. One that's big, burly, muscular but has anywhere from a slight paunch to a noticeable beer belly. That is the perfect body type. A pred anywhere from his late twenties to his very early thirties because I enjoy preds who are young but old enough to have experience with life and shit. The types who are a bit on the low brow side, the ones who use "ain't, yer, fer," or are just really just unabashed and shameless and lack any semblance of table manners. Like after a hearty meal, this boi will lean back, let out a burp so loud, it leaves your fucking ears ringing, and he just smacks his lips and gives his bloated belly a hearty pat of satisfaction.
Far as sexuality and dispositions go, those are less important. I'm all for straight, bi, gay, and everything else in between. So long as they have a companion who is supportive, and loves tending to that belly whenever it's filled to the brim or just grumbling in pain from indigestion or nausea. And being a bit on the grumpy side is always fun, because it means a lotta the times, food or prey lightens up the mood. As for alignment, I prefer them on the neutral side, veering towards good.
Let's just say that there's a reason Waylon is one of my favorite preds, because that big scaly boi ticks every single box. Especially when he drawn by

At en-ee-r8, that's what my ideal pred / big eater looks like. What be yours, homies?

I love Nagas that are gentle and well mannered, yet loves to tease: making sure the prey is as comfy as possible while talking about warmth and taste and other things I imagine a snake would tease prey about. They take their time swallowing prey down, savoring each moment as the prey goes deeper and deeper into the coils: only to continue the teases and complimenting how appetizing the prey was once they are down. With a meal in the coils, the snake will go about their day with the meal in tow: perhaps taking a nap or getting some sun.
I generally like preds who are neutral or good in their own snakey way: enjoying the hunt and consumption of prey, yet taking care of the prey to keep them calm and comfy throughout. They love having others around just for company, but when they get hungry they eat whatever they can catch.
Sexuality is not important: All that's important is a mammal to coil around for warmth, tend to the belly, and potentially fill it. The Naga's home is also a beautiful place, be it a natural grove or something or a restored ancient ruin.
Sorry if this is all kind of jumbled, but yeah. I like Nagas.

Seriously though - and this is addressed to both of you - Cheshire is deliberately designed to be my near-perfect ideal predator. But even he doesn't cover EVERYTHING I like, so...I guess between the two, and maybe a few others, you can figure it all out.

For personality, there's crass, rude, but done in compassion? Like a belch is a "thank you" a belch to the face is marking territory with a scent. Scarfing food down shows they absolutely love their meal, living or otherwise. XD
In terms of digestion I could go either way. Agua absorbs only the powers of the bounties, or he can take all of them. I also have Dietrich and he wouldn't hurt a fly, bt he does siphon off a tiny bit of soul energy here and there.
But primarily? Big fat crass reptiles with juttin' proud bellies.
Big, scaly men who are middle aged and either are boisterous and cocky or proud but somewhat reserved.
I generally like bigger bellies (nothing super big but still pretty prominent) but I also like flat stomachs that can get filled out by just how much a predator can eat.
I also like when predators either unabashedly and proudly let out giant belches after a big meal or are more shy about their expulsions, muttering out a quiet apology every time they burp.
He is also pretty hammy, loves to roar loudly and teases a lot (his favorite way is to burp in the face of the prey). But it doesn't mean he's evil: he only is if you were to him or someone else.
As far as sexuality goes, I'm asexual (and obviously Devourer is too), but I don't have a problem with any paring as long as they don't have sex in the story\image (and I'm warming up very little to a more sexual teasing, but only if it's a source of embarrassment for the prey ("why I'm getting an erection, this monster is eating me and my brain is concentrating more on a boner than how to escape?!")
Big and soft beer gut, fairly muscular in arms and legs but not so obvious (basically the "bear" body shape) and proud of it. I like the gut to be round with little-to-no rolls. Enough that his gut looks bigger and softer post-digestion, but not obese.
A loud, gruff voice. Not overly domineering but definitely knows that he's large and in charge. I like it when he still has some semblance of a soft-side, especially for those he's close to; I don't typically like complete monsters nor do I like the "alpha jock" personality. If he's a demon, he can be a bit sadistic but still capable of some kind of softness.
Tall but not gigantic. I like a good size difference but not so much that the prey just vanishes into the gut. His steps don't completely shake the ground but he does have a slight boom to his stride. I like him strong as a simple push can knock you over completely but a full force punch from "the average prey" doesn't even tickle him.
Age of late 20s or early-to-mid 30s
Gay preferably.
Terrible table manners but not a complete slob
Big, impossibly big and beefy meathead, lunkhead jock frat bro type. The cocky arrogant dumbass type who's a bit of a brute and rough around the edges but ultimately a decent enough guy once ya get to know em. Tho he's not some secret meek or gentle giant. Pretty much always thinking about gym, his next meal. Hard to befriend but if ya do, then he's a loyal and steadfast one (tho you should get prepared to be eaten... A lot)
Can be any species really. Orc, orcas, dragons, even a big burly human would do the trick. Haha.
I love big humanoid monsters of almost any species, as long as their design strikes a half n' half balance between human and beast. I prefer when the face is mostly humanoid, with a minimal snout, sharp teeth, and prominent cheekbones and jawline (I dunno why I like the last two, they just work). Tusks, horns, and spines are lovely too.
Almost always bipedal, although I like when the pred can switch back and forth, which makes for some fun moments when they have a big belly sagging and sloshing around.
Can have a muscular physique or a more slender, yet toned form. In terms of bellies, I am especially fond of slight muscleguts, where they have a slight paunch sticking out, but it's actually rock hard and tough when they tense up. Also, I prefer when the gut isn't too pudgy, so the fat doesn't get in the way of more subtle belly growth when they start packing it away.
In terms of personality, I love characters with a major soft spot. Whether they wear it on their sleeves like Ganchua or hide it at all costs like Kron, it doesn't really matter. As long as they have the capacity to be massive sweethearts, I'm all for it. Although I've grown rather fond of rough n' gruff preds who have a bit of a mean streak, yet also have a strict moral code. I'd say that Neutral Good territory is my personal favorite.
Sexuality isn't really that important to me, pretty much anything goes in terms of relationships. Gender is similar, although I tend to lean more towards male preds. I have a similar stance on age, the 20-30 bracket is pretty much perfect, although with inhuman characters, it's really hard to tell if they have extended lifespans.
For serials, you weren't kidding because that's legit all my preferences wrapped in one. I think the only difference is I like for pudgy bellies since they have a little more movement to them and bounce a lot more. Plus, when they get bigger, it's like the best stress ball.
But the subtle belly growth is always 10 outta 10 as well.
It's pretty obvious that I love mecha vore, rather exclusively humanoid. The personalities I like are gentle giant, reluctant pred, the "holy shit i'm so hungry i can't think straight", and the full-on predator. I also like the doofs that challenge each other to eating contests and regret it, the normally meek ones who lose control at the buffet for one reason or another, or the stiff ones that have to overeat/nom prey for one reason or another, resulting in them getting all embarrased...
The eaters I like tend to be average sized with flat stomachs. All the easier to see the subtle expansion/squirming prey~
One of my favorite things is going from fumes to maximum capacity. Like a character that's seriously hungry or starving getting tantalized by a meal/prey, their mouth watering and their hunger reaching a fever pitch, hunger pains... I like detail in the hunger before the meal. Bonus points if the belly goes from aching with hunger to aching with fullness.
I love the swallowing part too. The feeling of gulping down something huge and/or struggling, or the efforts to choke something enormous down always gets me.
I'm not all that into messy eaters tbh. Weight gain isn't my up of tea either. But I do like bellies at their absolute limit, but in a believable way. Bellies so firm you can pat it and it sounds and feels like a watermelon.
Bellyaching also gets me. Whether there is so much food that the belly struggles with processing it, an indigestible item or ten, or a not-so-harmless prey. Also deep belches that come straight from the pit of the stomach and rattle the throat coming up.
Age would probably be anywhere from late teens to before middle age, maybe. Depends on the pred. I don't have a preference for sexuality. I mostly lean towards males.
