So, because this is relevant to my interests…and most people who will show up following any links I drop, we probably need to figure out what we want for tags for vore stuffs.
vore
The act of consuming another living being, either whole or in part.
Vore Tangential:
object vore ->
object swallowing
Eating inanimate nonfood objects
mawplay (?)
Playing in or with a mouth or tongue, usually with hands or micros. Often a precursor to
vore
Now this one is slightly problematic. Do we tag it vore? Usually vore comes at the swallowing on down. There are definitely a large number of furies that would quibble that mouth play is not vore. A number of artists will draw ‘mouth play’ but not vore. If we want to tag this vore, we should definitely imply vore. Is being in a mouth vore regardless of whether or not a creature gets swallowed?
imminent vore
Vore is the clear intention, and is about to happen, but has not yet.
Now this one can happen with or without mawplay. Should this imply vore though? Imminent death does not imply death on here for example. So imminent should probably be treated the same way across the board.
living insertion
Where a living being is inserted into an orifice, usually anus or vagina, as one might a dildo.
Depending on what we do for mawplay, that might inform how this tag is done as well.
predation
The nonfetishised consuming a nonsapient feral creature, like an otter eating a fish. For the fetishised consumption, see
vore
Vore subtags: (All of these should imply vore.)
soft vore
Vore in which the prey is consumed whole and alive. It may involve light physical trauma, but no dismemberment.
hard vore
Vore in which the prey is chewed up or otherwise torn apart in the process of consuming them.
oral vore
Vore where the prey is consumed through the mouth.
anal vore
Vore where the prey is consumed through the anus.
sheath vore
Vore where the prey is consumed through the sheath.
cock vore
Vore where the prey is consumed through the penis.
unbirth
Vore where the prey is consumed through the vagina.
cloacal vore
Vore where the prey is consumed through the cloaca.
small pred
Vore where the pred is much smaller than the prey.
digestion
When the prey is digested in
vore. This may be through the usual methods, cum transformation or other sorts.
disposal
When the remains of a prey are excreted after digestion. Usually as
scat, but sometimes as a
pellet or
bones
pellet
A compress mass of fur, feathers, bones, and other indigestibles coughed up after digestion, usually produced by birds.
Now with that out of the way, lets discuss some edge cases:
This one is maybe tangentially imminent vore, but even that one seems to be a stretch in my opinion. Should a barest hint of a possibly predatory future earn an imminent vore tag? And based on what we decide above wrt imminent vore, should inform if we add vore to this.
These definitely earn the imminent vore tag, and so are dependent on the imminent vore decision as well.
Some of these may deserve the imminent vore tag, and they definitely deserve the mawplay tag. Does teh confluence of imminent vore + Mawplay instantly make it to requiring the vore tag?
Does ending in a comic that ends in vore earn it the imminent vore tag? Even if it doesnt actually depict any vore itself? The second one is certainly more questionable than teh first, though without the context of the final comic, I’m not sure you’d realize that vore is happening offscreen.
Edit: Removed Pica in favor of object swallowing
Edit: Removed Same Sized vore, added Sheath Vore, and predation
