If you're paying a game with predators, try to avoid being the prize.
Here we go, guys. I know you've all been waiting patiently for someone else to get eaten. I actually got multiple complains about how no one got nommed during spin the bottle. But those people didn't stop to think that spin the bottle might not be over yet~ Hope you're ready, cause this chapter is double-length and extra-filling.
Aside from the noms, there are also a few fun little details in this one: a shampoo brand that may or may not mean anything later, someone getting their last name revealed (spoilers, it's a pun), and one other small detail that definitely foreshadows something soon to come... Also, can I just say I really like the description "bone-softening cocktail" for a pred's stomach acid. I don't know why, it just hits me in the right ways.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
If the vore scene at the end of this one seems somehow familiar to you, I took some noticeable inspiration from vore animation god CakeInferno and their indisputable masterpiece (with the ironically uncreative name) "Zoe Noms U 2". Consider it a humble homage to one of the best pieces of vore media I've ever seen. HNTBL is very predominantly same-size vore, but I love some good macro/micro myself (as many of my other works show), so this chapter is one of the few exceptions. Sorry if you don't like it, but you'll have to live with it for this one. If you DO like it, sorry but you wont see too much more in *this* series of mine.
*END OF SPOILERS*
But, of course, this series is not solely mine. It's created in equal collaboration with x9comega. We're already cooking up new ideas for the coming chapters, while simultaneously regretting our annoying naming scheme for said chapters. (Maybe we can learn a thing or two from CakeInferno about getting less creative with our names.) If you're looking for the rest of our series, you can find it all here:

And if you want to tell Omega and I how much you actually enjoy our painfully brainstormed titles (for some reason), but don't feel like leaving a comment (for some other reason), you can find us both on Discord! In fact we have a whole HNTBL Discord server with a bunch of other fans where we talk about... all kinds of stuff really. Here's the link for that if you're interested:

ok so now jack is not only 'acting' casual with seeing people die. hes also actively giving people to predators. hes pretty much doing a complete over correction. although looking back on him in other stories it seems the threads were there already. since this arc is supposed to be jack focused , i guess this is gonna be his character arc. i wonder how all the other humans will view him. because its not like he sacrificed that guy to save his life. nope jack just sentenced this guy to death for a friend. its one thing to just want a friend to be happy but when your friend actively harms other people , your people , catering to their whims makes you no better than the friend . for jacks sake he better hope no human other than harry survives. otherwise id oubt the humans in his school would want him around if they found out about this party.
sucks for the guy she swallowed that he grew back, at least if he was tiny he mightve died quicker. although it mightve kept him from suffocating sooner so he may have had to feel the acids longer.
also i love how jacks advice to harry is both helpful and sad . as hes clearly refering to ruby and fiona killing her. this mentality is actually pretty common in horror movies or thriller movies where characters fall in love. they fall for each other but they dont commit to anything until its over because they know they could die or be murdered by a monster at any second.
if this arc didnt have the energy of horror .. thriller... dark fantasy... eh im not sure how to describe the energy of this arc or series but watching sarabeths failed attempts to kill jack all so she could date fiona is hilarious . kinda like watching wiley coyote fail to kill the road runner
dang it i wrote too much again
TW{ mentions dark topic)
reading about the guy in the jar got me thinking about the hopelessness of these humans. i wonder whether they consider going out on their own terms and such. given they have support groups i bet its a common thought. after all i think going out on your own terms would be more pleasant than being digested alive by a monster. unless i missed something i doubt its painless. does society talk them out of it or do they just view it as " a waste of meat ". after all humans are just glorified cattle.
eh just ignore that my mind spiralled . i wonder where this is headed

You seem to have trouble grasping the culture of this world and the fact that it is wildly different from our actual world…
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
i fully understand how that world works, doesnt meean i wont have questions. thats why my comments are built off the way the characters act and the setting. and yes its pretty different from reality sure ,however the behaviors of the characters arent they just follow according to the situation they are in.
Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report
No but the way they behave and think is largely shaped by the world they live in. Seeing others die is a pretty common thing for these teens by now. In fact high school is where humans die the MOST in this world. Adults don’t hunt nearly as many humans as teenagers do, for various reasons. Jack’s indifference to seeing someone he doesn’t know die is pretty standard, par for the course. The fact he gave him to her doesn’t make him any worse than any other human, I mean if any of the other humans got him they wouldn’t know what to do either. In fact handing him to a pred might be their BEST course of action, get on a Preds good side and stay out of their belly! I doubt any of the humans here see Jack negatively for this specific act.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
but its not just this specific act. its a pattern and while yes i made the comment on this story and pointed out him giving another kid to die. i based it on a pattern of decisions that jack has made over the series . thats why i said " the threads were already there " add on ozzy calling him out and even zack"s comments before he was killed its not a stretch at all to wonder how the rest of the humans would view jack after this party.
and while the kids are " used" to seeing other kids killed all the time. they arent portrayed as ok with it. they are at best resigned and remorseful, but not ok . jack comes across as ok with it here . he even cares about fiona being happy so much that hes happy for her when she gets a meal despite knowing someone is being painfully killed to accomplish this .
its a clear series of red flags that make him stick out like a sore thumb . ESPECIALLY since every human is trying to not be killed.
Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report
He’s not even remotely close to the worst offender these kids have seen, if you want to think about humans they would see negatively then what about the Mage-Preds? The humans who have used magic to allow themselves to eat other humans? And yeah. Jack doesn’t have a whole lotta remorse here but why should he? He doesn’t know this kid, he hasn’t even really met him, but he does know Fiona is his best friend and this kid is already marked, he’s probably not getting out of this party alive anyway. So yeah it’s easy for Jack to be happy his friend is happy when he knows the kid dieing was more than likely gonna die anyway, and if he didn’t he was gonna live a life of paranoia and fear. And probably a short one.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
the fact jack is not the worst offender amplifies my question, how will the other humans see him? will they start seeing him as a treat like a mage pred and start avoiding him , do they try to "set him straight", do they try to get rid of him like sarabeth? thats my question. even his lack of remorse adds on to it.
Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report
Why should he show remorse here? We JUST ESTABLISHED that this kid was doomed from the jump.
Posted by Wolfsage 1 year ago Report
Speaking of, I've always wondered if this is a completely different world or a mirror of our own with the same countries and the like, but with a few differences?
What country does the story even take place in?
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
I think it's safe to say that this is a different world, if only because making it a copy of this one would take a bunch of knowledge I don't have and effort I can't be bothered with ^^;
Posted by Wolfsage 1 year ago Report
I'm actually happy about that. Makes it more fun :D
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
I... *sigh*
Jack is *best friends* with a predator. Take a second to internalize that. Try to imagine the kind of things he would need to be tolerant of and okay with in order to genuinely be in that position. And that's on top of the general attitude toward death and predation in the world around him.
In fact, forget about their friendship for a second. If Jack is holding the most delicious, sought-after meal in the room, directly in front of every pred, all looking at him, YEAH he's going to give it away. What do you think the odds were of that shrunken kid getting out alive regardless of what Jack did?
Now, he's not totally consciousness. He couldn't even bring himself to touch the jar. But death and predation are a fact of life here.
Also, I do want to ask. What makes this tiny guy "Jack's people?"
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
its not about the tiny guy not surviving. i didnt expect him to survive. i dont expect any human to survive other than jack due to a splash of plot armor and fiona. in fact, if it had landed on another human i could see them doing the same or worse .
my point came from jacks attitude . he doesnt come across as tolerant, he feels more accepting even happy.
Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report
He IS happy. Because Fiona’s happy. Being a predator is an aspect of Fiona’s kid that she’s proud of, one that brings her joy. So Jack doesn’t feel it’s his place to discourage it. After all, why should she be forced to deny this aspect of herself that she’s proud of when half of the world shares that aspect and upholds that pride as a good thing. And is Jack supposed to not be happy just because she ate someone? We just established this is a normal occurrence AND that the kid was doomed to begin with, what would be the point in being upset that she ate him?
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
so then , i wonder how the other humans will view him? with everything you said and the previous stories , how would the humans view jack after this knowing his history?
Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report
Mostly as another human who’s surviving. Most don’t know him, and if you don’t know a human and have no reason to then it’s best not to cause they might die.
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
He *is* accepting and happy. That's friendship, being accepting of another person and happy for their happiness. What else would you expect?
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
i dont know what to expect thats why i am still reading and asking questions.
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
The reason we're getting a bit worked up over this is that the way your messages come across, it seems like you expect Jack's acceptance and cooperation with Fiona to be treated as an objective negative- something that should be reacted to negatively by both the readers and the world around him, and that he would be deserving of that negativity. Maybe that's not what you intend, but that's how it's coming across to us. If that is the intention, we feel that you would be missing the point of this series and in fact not quite understanding it as we intended.
Posted by MasterGryph 1 year ago Report
...
Yes, that seems about right.
The point of the series as I understand it is an examination of whether or not a relationship like the one between Jack and Fiona can work, and can be healthy. If the answer turns out to be no, well then, it means the answer turned out to be no.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
i get that you all are worked up. thats why im very strategic in what i say. youre emotionally invested in this world. but you have to understand that you created a complex world with complex dynamics you cant expect everyone to view things from the same pov as you .
i dont think that jacks actions are objectively negative in the context of this setting. i dont think most actions are objectively horrible in this setting. you both created a world where humans are oppressed and treated like glorified cattle so their every action is about survival. that said i think that jacks actions make him more and more like the monsters hes around. which while not a negative to them may be a negative to other humans . which prompted my question. it also give light as to where his story arc may be going .
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
i apologize if that sounded rude or like im insulting the series
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
There is something to be said for alternate interpretations of artwork, and I can appreciate that. But there's a key difference.
If someone smiled and said "there's a cute dog behind you", and you turned around and kicked it because you interpret "dog" to be some kind of dangerous, spikey-toothed thing that could bite you, while that might be an understandable interpretation of those words, it would still be a wrong interpretation if the intended meaning behind the statement was for you to turn around and pet the dog instead. (Not trying to call you a dog kicker or something like that, it's just the first analogy that came to mind.)
In the same way, calling the preds "monsters", while an understandable interpretation of the world, is very much missing the intended meaning of the words being put down in this story.
If you recognize that your interpretation is different from what is intended by the authors, and you want to enjoy that interpretation and share that enjoyment with comments, I have 0 problem with that as long as you make it clear that is what you're doing. Otherwise, it comes across as twisting or deriding the actual intended themes and characters by saying they are or should be different.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
well that and also to refer to them when theyre doing non casual daily non tormenting and hunting human stuff
Posted by MasterGryph 1 year ago Report
I'm surprised you're objecting to the term Monster here. It could have meant just "the category of fictional creatures that most of the recurring cast falls into" though I see now that he also meant it in the other respect.
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
It would have been really ironic of me to misunderstand that given who whole spiel I just went through XD
Yeah, using it the way you have quoted, I don't think I'd object, but I figured they meant it the other way.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
i fully understand the story you all are trying to tell, that said none of my comments are taking stuff out of context , twisting or deriding the material. if it feels that way then maybe theres an issue with my word choice. which i can adjust.
Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report
It’s your use of words like Monsters to describe the predators, as if they aren’t also individuals. You empathize solely with the humans, as if Fiona is nothing but a bloodthirsty monster which is absolutely an unwarranted take, Fiona isn’t evil incarnate or even evil-leaning.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
my opinions on fiona are definitely warranted but i can understand you not thinking so. and i use the word monster to describe them very strategically . i dont use it to describe their non hunting and tormenting stuff. i use that term so heavily here because thats all weve been doing in these few chapters. but if that makes you feel uncomfortable or causes you to feel im missing something i can adjust my word choice.
Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report
also i do empathize with the preds when necessary but they havent really been a main focus in the story since i started commenting more .
Posted by ShadowDM 1 year ago Report
To my understanding one of the point they tried to make is that what Jack did is basically the same any other human would do in this universe. Even ignoring the specific circumstances. So they won't see it any particular major way.
I think.
Outsiders don't see anything out of the ordinary.
The humans of this world are not any more moral then the preds, or monsters as you call them. They are simply just the underdogs. But not the GOOD guys.
Everyone just tries to find their own happiness in world like this and they don't really blame each other for this.

Couldn't Sarabeth shrink Jack and just gag him to give to Fiona? Could be a good near-fatal situation. Where she eats him and recognizes his taste after.

Slight issue: Fiona would be able to smell him.

I figured at some point that Jack would feed Fiona a fellow human. He's grown more accepting of her feedings and knows what happens when she's really hungry, as this chapter highlights. As someone else said, other humans may have done the same.

I see that with every chapter, Sabareth’s patience is running out, bit by bit. It’s only a matter of time before she snaps, probably by the end of the current arc.

Sorry. Sarabeth.
Posted by Kasra 1 year ago Report
Oh my, a gift of marked prey. Things really are getting serious. Though it's also amusing that Fiona didn't make the same mental connection she did with Arthur, rather thinking of it as a gift from Sarabeth.
It's also hilarious seeing Sarabeth coming closer and closer to the breaking point. Hilarious and MAYBE a little worrisome? I mean, Jack IS in a mansion full of vampires, if Sarabeth were to turn on him it'd be a bit of a done deal, but surely she'll manage to maintain her composure for a single night (getting credit for the shrinkie probably helped a LOT on that front)...though maybe they should wrap up Spin The Bottle before Jack's luck proves too much for her to bear.
Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report
All I can say- to almost all of that- is: give it time ;)

I can also imagine Sarabeth regularly delivering tinies for Fiona like a cat bringing in mice...
Posted by magicboy13 1 year ago Report
You know, I'm totally expecting this arc to end with Fiona eating a shrunken Jack, high-tailing out of there, and barfing him up outside the mansion... without much trust lost in Sarabeth so you could keep milking her jealousy in future chapters. XD
Posted by magicboy13 1 year ago Report
Ahahaha... I knew that vore scene felt familiar! I have watched that CakeInferno masterpiece many times. Excellent work. I also enjoyed that it's written from Fiona's point of view, so there's a lot of things to unpack from the way she just savored the poor tiny for all that he was worth.
A shame we won't see it again.
Aaaand Harry has a crush on some girl? Oh boy. I guess she's next on the panda's list.
