Mind or Personality Vore?

[VelveteenDreams]

So here's something I've never heard of before. Instead of killing your prey, you consume their mind, turning them into maybe a mindless vegetable, or a husk, a 'shadow of your former self', or a mindrape zombie. Basically, a Lobotomy via vore. I shall henceforth call it...LOBOTO-GESTION! All the prey's memories, feelings, thoughts, and entire personality drained by the predator. Maybe the predator gains these thoughts and memories, grows more powerful and more intelligent from them, perhaps adding a consumed persons mind to a sort of hivemind, having an army of mindless, brain-dead slaves to bring more delicious 'minds' to the predator. I would say the predators would likely be some kind of lovecraftian horror from beyond the stars or some hellish nightmare. Or maybe the personality is just outright destroyed entirely, lost completely, while the body itself is untouched and continues to functions normally (as normally as someone whose entire personality has been dissolved can function that is).

What do ye all thing of this? Would you consider this fatality? Are there any examples of it out there? And how do you think this would play out?

Well, it sounds to me like a kind of soul vore but it sounds great!!

Heh, yeah I was going to mention that it's kind of similar : D But not really. It's not quite the soul they're eating, just the mind...personality...thoughts, memories, the victim is still very much alive...just a braindead zombie : D

I've worked on a story about memory vore before, which seems similar to what you are describing, although I never finished the story. In that context it was just the ability to drain memories from a prey and the pred could gain knowledge from that. While it was not fatal to the body or personality per se, the prey left without memories would be very different from their past selves, and might choose a life with the predator over their past lovers or friends. It's an interesting concept for sure.

Because I clicked and felt like there was an interesting idea at the end I am just gonna say, yes. For the most part in a philosophical perspective the thing call "you" is your memories, emotions, even your way of thinking because it is pretty much what separates us from most people around us. It's why I enjoy the saying "Your Mind, Body and Soul" when talking about the entirety of an individual, but then some people still treat a dead body as if it was the loved one so yeah maybe it's not fatal as long as there are remains/zombie as you put it.

Edit:

It's not quite the soul they're eating, just the mind...personality...thoughts, memories, the victim is still very much alive...

What is the soul?

[Twister88]

It's definitely an interesting concept. I like the idea of the predator gaining the preys intelligence, it's like a form of powerup.

Is that vore, or just...Mindflayer stuff?

iZombie has something like that where the zombied get the personality traits and memorie flashes of the brains they eat

This is something I ALWAYS without fail insert into my vore because the idea of being devoured mind body and soul is just so fucking hot to me. It's complete domination. I'm so glad I'm not alone in enjoying this!

I've never considered a possibility like this before, but upon reading this, I love it! This is definitely a concept I'd like to explore.

[zarpaulus]

Orion's Arm has a concept called Subsumption in which an AI or other entity with a digital mind seizes the memories, personality, and hardware of a similar being. Often using it to put up a sort of "mask" and impersonate the victim for a while yet.

I've seen that kind of thing elsewhere too. For instance, in the webcomic SSDD you've got an evil AI who pretty much evolved from a virus.

Spoiler: show

As a metaphor:

[kisupure]

I wrote something like this into the cilmax of a neon genesis evangelion crackfic series of mine - in the AU, the evas are fully autonomous, highly intelligent, well-spoken giant cyborgs who are all sadistic and murderous pretty much beyond reason. The scene involves a human plaything of 01's getting put into an old pilot's plug before a fight with an angel (machine vore!), during which she starts going crazy in there and begins turning into him.

It doesn't end in complete zombification or obliteration of her identity (that's been slowly happening through the series already through other time-worn techniques like abuse, death threats, manipulation, and just otherwise convincing her that everything she knows and loves can and will be destroyed), but it happens with enough intensity to screw her up pretty badly before she gets "spit" back out.
