Home Is Where The SOUL Is By LivesInAStomach -- Report

After snatching up the latest human to fall into the underground, Toriel takes drastic measures to make sure they'll never, ever leave...

Day 1 of Voretober is here, and today’s prompt is “Tale.”

***

With the recent release of Deltarune Chapter 2, Undertale has been at the absolute forefront of my mind. So there was only one tale I could think of! Plus, I’ve always thought that Toriel would make the perfect endo pred.

Today is the first day of this little self-imposed writing challenge, and I already feel my perfectionism trying to bubble to the surface. I got a little carried away with the word count, but it’s a strong start. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum.

I don't know what it is about overprotective endo preds and unwilling prey, but I love it when the two mesh.

I don't blame you! It's a very, very good combination, and it's kind of rare to find.

A good entry, Lives! I do like the idea of a motherly pred trying to keep someone they care about safe, no matter what that someone's view is!

Congrats on finishing the first story of Voretober! Unfortunately I can't read it right now, but I'll look forward to it when I get the chance later tonight.

Ahh thank you so much! And no worries haha, take your time. Are you still planning on participating as well?

MidoriHime

Posted by MidoriHime 3 years ago Report

I do still plan on participating! I might have to skip a day here or there (I've already decided to skip Day 1 due to various reasons), but I'm doing my best to hit as many days as I can. I've actually already got my story for Day 2 underway as we speak~

You have no idea how excited I am to see you doing a Halloween event. A story from you every day? This is more like Christmas!

Never enough gentle unwilling entrapment. Never enough... hope to see more of it!

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report

I agree, it is a very good trope! Maybe I will write more about it some day :>

Toriel sounds like a truly lovely home to live in. I'm sure they'll get used to it eventually.

Undrgrnd831

Posted by Undrgrnd831 3 years ago Report

I don't know if you've ever considered any similar themes of entrapment with something like cock vore or anal vore instead, but I'd love to see you tackle that topic :p

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report

I've definitely considered it, but unfortunately I'm not really interested in those vore types. I'll never say never, though.

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report

Yes I definitely agree!! I... totally don't have a pred crush on Toriel, or anything ><

Like the Minecraft mod Draconic Evolution said so well...
It's the start of something big...

I don't know of this Minecraft mod... but I hope this is a compliment! ^^;

Oh trust me, it's a compliment for sure haha

I normally don't care for endo stuff but you really made this enjoyable. I like that the POV character ("you") doesn't immediately come around to the idea of being forced to live inside of a stomach. It's still smelly and slimy and gross and *shouldn't* be safe but here they are anyway.

I'm also a sucker for when anyone writes Toriel doing something crass or vulgar when it's so against her usual character. Her response is always so endearing (and hot if I'm being honest). Great little story you got here. Thanks for sharing it!

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report

Hey, thanks a bunch!! It means a lot that you were still able to enjoy my story despite not being a fan of endo. I do like representing endo with more realistic slimy and messy stomachs, since that's a rare side to endo that contrasts the usually fluffy stuff (even though I love both approaches).

You know, I remember reading your Undertale stories before I even made an Eka's Portal account, I probably read them like a dozen times!! It was a treat hearing from you. Thank you very much for reading and commenting. <3

Well thank you very much in turn! It always lifts me up to hear people get so much enjoyment out of a thing I made (even if it's smut lmao). Thank you really!

Well, I'd caught a glimpse of your stories in the feed as I worked through Voretober myself, and seeing such strong reception in the comments makes me think I've got something to learn from you. Chapter 2 of Deltarune seems to have fully reignited my interest in Toby Fox's stuff, so Toriel is a welcome start.

Endo isn't usually my thing, but this was really cute! It suits Tori's character well, and you have a good sense of how to address all the reader's senses. I wonder if Toriel eats some food with the wrapper to give her guest something less spit-covered? She is a goat, after all. Looking forward to checking out the rest!

(Sorry for any spelling mistakes, by the way - mobile Eka's is giving me a transparent textbox so I can't see what I'm typing.)

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report

Ah hello!! I had seen your Voretober stories pop up as well! Though if you say you're not a fan of Endo stuff... well, a majority of the stories I wrote for Voretober involve Endo in some fashion! Make of that what you will. There are still a handful of stories involving digestion though.

But thank you for the compliment! With POV stories like this, I try to involve lots of sensory detail. I definitely think Toriel would still try to be as motherly as possible, so preparing homemade meals and sealing them in wrappers and plastic containers before promptly swallowing them definitely sounds like something she'd do.

(The transparent text box is concerning... it makes me think there might be something wrong with my custom theme, yet I'm also typing my comment on mobile and my text box is fine. Who knows...!)

It would be great to see a second part although with that ending I don't think it will happen.

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

Who knows? I could totally write a second part. Just a matter of having the time/motivation.
