I’ve had a fascination with or obsession with g/t since as early as I can remember.
The first strangely fetishy take on it was me imagining being crushed under a clothed butt when I was around 3 or 4. I knew nothing of sex, this was just something I liked imagining for some reason.
At that age, I was already absorbing tons of cartoons and movies with size scenes, so maybe this snuck in from there, who knows.
As for Fern Gully, holy hell, yes, so glad to see that popular here. Everything about it. Thanks, Tim Curry, for bringing sexiness to a smoke monster, of all things. Yes, the lizard’s scene is great, along with the smoke monster, but what struck me more back then was just Zak meeting Crysta - the size difference between them alone got my brain going.
I had a fascination with anatomy back then, and I planned on becoming a doctor, so I earnestly absorbed all of the information out there for kids about the human body. Among those was The Magic School Bus, which I can firmly, 100%, blame for getting me into vore. Fucking Ms. Frizzle.
I have considered writing a fan fiction of that classroom now having a 10-year high school reunion, and all the students bonding over how screwed up it was that they went inside Arnold.
An idea: Arnold left the district after that year, after having been so embarrassed by being so overly seen, and becoming a target for teasing. “How are your alveoli doing today, Arnold?” Carlos mocked him the next week, himself trying to forget the horror of being almost crushed to paste between his classmate’s molars. None of the returning students as adults want to admit that they’re all vore fetishists now. Phoebe is now a gastroenterologist, and she never told anyone outside of this class reunion that her chosen medical specialty was more of an all-consuming obsession than an academic or career calling.
