I’ve been thinking about saying this lately. But the honest reason I’m so into gore is:
1. Medical fascination
2. It’s pretty
3. Some spiritual shit I guess

And even though I draw sexual gore, it’s because I find it a great way to show deep intimacy and connection. Just spill your guts for your lover! I’m incredibly disinterested in torture gore, and that also kinda annoys me, I really prefer to have it be genuinely enjoyed by the one being gutted or dismembered.

The reason it’s likely also a spiritual thing is also because of the closeness thing, like taking a carcass, carefully taking it apart, observing each organ? You get to know something both inside and out, you can learn a lot about its health and everything by digging through its insides. I find it grounding.

And that’s also part of why I’m excited for the cadaver class, because I have too much anxiety and too little money for medical school and this is going to be a great way to know the human body more inside and out like I do with the dead animals I pick up or get given.
