Observers

[Bellyl0ver]

I’ve noticed that there don’t seem to be a lot of observer type individuals when it comes to vore, mostly preds and prey. How many of you prefer to be the observer, ie watching the pred with their prey filled belly, the potential weight gain that comes after their meal, and doing things like rubbing their belly or playing with their fat?

[Frednurk]

I've always liked the idea of being the reluctant observer, bound to the pred in some way and continually finding them meals to satisfy their hunger... until the day I run out of people to feed them

[OppaiAngel]

My husband (also an Eka's member) is more of an observer. He likes the idea of watching Pred's feed or helping them acquire prey.

[Tyslan03]

I prefer to be an observer. However, if you want to RP or create something, sometimes you just gotta roll up your sleeves and take a more active role.

[Animagra]

I think I'm more sadistic. I used to watch videos of giant snakes killing and eating their prey when I was younger, just found it fascinating to watch. Nature at its finest, I guess.

[Phorcyz19]

I like any role, TBH, and I'm definitely a fan of being pred or prey, but observer is probably my default role.

[R_U_Snacksize]

Mostly observer with occasional times of helping either pred or prey.

[AshLovehart]

I am 100% an observer. My favorite thing in art, stories, and RPs is for my character to be watching the pred fill his gut with tons of prey, and get to rub his belly full of prey during/after. I'm not into weight gain at all, so I very much love the idea of watching/rubbing a pred's belly while it digests prey and shrinks back until it is flat again

[ProfessorCat]

I always see myself as an observer with vore artwork, unless it's in a pov shot.
I prefer to be an observer, but it's a different story when it comes to RP. Gotta get in with the action.

[VoraciousPreyator]

While I'm more Prey myself, I wouldn't mind being an Observer either.
There needs to be more stories/art of Observers to!

[Ghrelin]

I empathize with the pred role and that is what I will play in RP, as well as liking pred POV and m/f content for that reason, but I also make a fair amount of female pred content for the "eye candy". I'm not interested in playing an involved observer, but I can enjoy vore content that doesn't put me into the shoes of either character. So I guess that makes me at least a part-time observer?

[Humbug]

Yeah. Observers are so rare that I felt the need to designate my 'sona as a predator just so people would stop making comments about how they were going to eat me. Seems like people don't really understand that you can like vore without taking an active role in the eating/being eaten.
At my heart, I'm an observer, regardless of the change. If my character's involved at all, I much prefer it to be as a feeder or belly-rubber than doing anything vorish himself.

[MaxTwenty]

I get the feeling observers are the type who don't seek to engage as much with vore as a person to person thing, so they'd probably be less visibly represented in a community. That or, yeah, people don't believe them or don't consider the possibility if it isn't spelled out. Personally I'd identify as observer, for instance, but I'm not sure of any context where stating that would come up outside of this exact instance or establishing boundaries where someone oversteps, etc.

[janejobs]

I write most of my stories in third person, so I prefer to be an observer.

[GastricAztec]

I’m into macro/Micro vore, so I like the idea of an observer shrunk down to the size of the victims, then he interacts with the victims before they get swallowed by a beautiful woman, without him being in any danger.

[SkeletonGoat]

Though I tend to take on the pred role, really I get more out of a scenario being an observer. It's why in a lot of my rps I play as feral animals but also take on a second role that is usually an observer to the events unfolding. (I like the accidental observer the best, you weren't planning on seeing somebody eaten by a snake today but you are anyway and you can't seem to look away. Then the fascination of rubbing that squirming belly.)

[cranberryknights1]

I'm mostly a observer in the sense that almost all my fantasies don't involve me directly but rather characters I like where one eats the other. In those fantasies I observe but it's not like I am actually there or able to interact with them. I just like to imagine it. Those type of fantasies are where the prey is unwilling but if I am the prey in a scenario its willing and the pred is pretty nice to me,knowing I like that sort of closeness with them.

[Rifykoh]

I'm mainly an observer, tho people seem to only see preds or preys which kinda saddens me.
I mainly like interacting with the pred without any danger, mostly when the pred is close to my character.
I do tend to pred sometimes which makes people think I'm a pred lmao but yeah I strongly prefer being labeled as an observer. I really don't like being a prey tho, except with people I'm close to. :v

I feel like there need to be more observer content out there, which I try to contribute to with art sometimes

[Apex]

I definitely used to identify strictly as an observer when I first started getting into vore as a fetish. I feel like maybe everyone is an observer to some extent because, in the end, we're just looking at pictures or reading stories in which other entities are acting out our fetish. Since we're all observers, I think maybe the idea of dedicated observers gets lost in the maelstrom? That all being said, I understand people look at images or read stories and identify as and put themselves in the positions of the pred/prey. However, to do so, you must first perceive and process the media to go, "Yeah. That's nice. I wish I had/was in that belly." I dunno, it's just a theory.

But, yeah, over time I've sort of drifted more to an observer/prey state. Imagining myself as prey is relegated purely to safe vore, though. In relation to digestion and its aftermath, I would much, much rather just observe it than be a part of it.

[jack27]

I tend to switch. Sometimes I find the role more fun from an observer point of view. But often I do tend to put myself in the prey's place
