seeing tiktok take over the pomegranate metaphor and butcher it and reduce it to bioessential cut and paste tiktok poetry really is weird cause uh. thats a bit roundabout if you ask me. the whole thing was about cannibalism and being destroyed by something or someone you love. something beautiful being ripped apart brutually as a way to desperately achieve the perfect flesh inside. and what did tiktok do? massacre it until it was left bleeding and unfixable. hmm

When you’re starving, you’ll eat anything.

“Starving” Waambles, 2023

I posted this elsewhere but didn’t give my explanation so I thought I might aswell say it here hehe

This is a response to my dislike of the metaphor of cannibalism for love/romance. Showing something so violent and all consuming in a positive light as a metaphor for love rubs me the wrong way. This is also a piece about my aromanticism + romance repulsion. Where love HAS felt like cannibalism to me, where the idea of being tied to someone romantically feels like losing myself and my autonomy. Romance feels like a loss of self for me as an aromantic person, cannibalizing my soul and my body for your enjoyment. So Everytime I see alloromantic people post about cannibalism as a metaphor for romance all I can see is the consumption and it confuses and scares me lmao. I feel other forms of love and I’d never want that love to feel like I am being consumed or consuming someone else. This isn’t a diss towards anyone who likes that metaphor but this is my response to it. Really tried to capture the horror and terror with this one lol

consume me until you’re satisfied.

this is all i have left,

so i hope you don’t mind.

suck me dry,

eat me alive,

devour me,

so i can see what’s inside.

i can almost touch all of the secrets

that lie beneath your skin.

i’m inching closer and closer

as you lick your finger tips,

so please,

consume me until you’re satisfied.

my body is yours.

don’t leave a trace of me behind.

I want to consume you

To take a bite of your skin

Have your blood drip down my chin

Your flesh dangling from my teeth

I want to break your chest open

And climb inside

Settle within your ribs with pride

I want to curl up next to your heart

Feel the steady rhythm stop

As my mouth grows closer

Breath against your racing muscle

I consume what is mine.

Can we talk about how beautiful is cannibalism as a metaphor for a deeply and intense love?

devour me whole

you are my Saturn.

rip my flesh from my bones

while i wail and beg

i’ve never been enough for you

so tear me to shreds

and wear me the way

you’ve always wanted me to stay

little.

i’ve grown

and now you want to swallow me whole

make me nonthreatening

just take.

you’re good at it.

you need more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and

-more and more

I peel away strips of waxen skin,

And split open your delicate body,

To relish on your hidden treasure,

Of rubies and juice and blood.

I plunge my fingers in your soft flesh

And smile as your burst against my skin,

Staining me red with your sweet blood,

Marking me with your love,

An eternal declaration and reminder.

I place you in my famished mouth,

And chew on your succulent entrails

Just to feel you pop against my teeth

And slide down my throat,

I savour your sweetness with passion.

You make a mess of my person,

As I desperately dig for a last morsel of you

To place in my mouth and enjoy,

To feel full, replenished and satisfied

Of you, your blood, your flesh,

To feel my fingers sticky with your juices,

To feel my skin smothered in your love,

To lick your sweetness from my lips,

And forever be haunted by a sour after-taste,

When it is all over,

That only you can erase,

By coming back to me,

And allowing me to plunge my fingers,

In your willing body,

And quench my hunger for you.

-----n.a.j.

my unpopular opinion is that i always interpret cannibalism metaphors as toxic, abusive, or unhealthy relationships rather than beautiful trustworthy ones. it just makes so much more sense to me (though maybe that's just cause i also get really grossed out by cannibalism metaphors in general. and also im autistic). but like, think about it. the codependency. the manipulation. predator and prey. hurting each other, but telling yourself "no, it's love. it's trust. it's okay to do this." hurting YOURSELF and thinking "it's all worth it to be in love."

oh starving man, serve fish on my plate

to be jesus, selfless in a selfish way

you don’t know what to say, but

i always do

we cannot eat silence for dinner

yet dirty feet and clean legs

crossed and skewered, roasted slowly

will be enough to fill

Non-sexual cannibalism has got to be one of my favorite themes, like you feel the need to devour this person but not because you get off on the act but because it is a sensual experience, becoming one and continuing the cycle of life and existence. To be loved is to be devoured, piece by piece, essentially letting that love consume you entirely.

At the end of the day hunger and desire are one in the same, two sides of the same coin and that’s not portrayed enough

BONES AND ALL OUUGHHFHHHHHH

I didn't think I'd like this movie, because it's a lot tamer than what I usually watch, but GOD am I happy I finished it. They handle the themes and worldbuilding of cannibalism and cannibals really well; do i dare to say its poetic?

Spoilers ahead of course, as well as further mentions of cannibalism

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The lead up/foreshadowing of "bones and all" when Maren and Lee are camping, and then presenting that idea once again at the end just- honestly didn't expect it. They crawl out defeated and instead of working to try and have a future with Maren, Lee insists, INSISTS, that she eat him.

And of course Maren is horrified at Lee trying to convince her to do it, him pleading for her to eat him. She can barely stomach the thought, especially since we've been shown how sensitive it is to her- compared to the others we see she actually seems to care about the lives of her potential meal. So of course, why, why why why, why would she eat Lee instead of trying to save him? She loves him, they've finally build the life they wanted- everything Maren's every wanted. And now it's being ripped away.

In Lee's eyes this is an honor. Its a final kiss, its a final testament of his love for her- to be able to provide himself to her as some kind of nourishment. To him its beautiful, and yet oh so selfish. He wants to be her first "bones and all", he wants to stay as a prominent memory, even after he passes. If not from her memory of their love then hopefully from the memory of completely and fully devouring him. He wants to be fully consumed in her love, to hope that maybe a piece of his bone gets stuck in her throat so he'll follow her around forever. It's an unneeded--and yet an oh so desperate, unquenchable need-- to be a sacrifice. This is his "I love you." To make himself a meal is the only way he knows how to say an intimate goodbye to her.

A divine commodity - eating your lover.

And so she indulges.

After everything, being together, running away together. Everything. This is how they end. No more car drives and camping and sneaking into gas stations to find some simple sustenance. Because this is the only sustenance she'll ever need.

I FUCKING LOVE CANNIBALISM AS SYMBOLISM FOR LOVE. Honestly it has some of the same principles as vampires, which, of course I'm always into that. It's letting yourself be consumed by your lover that's you giving them what they need, letting them slip away and not worry about a thing, that you have it handled. You're giving yourself, every bit of you to them. And from a consumer perspective its fucked. You're fucked, you're fucked but you can't stop, because this IS love, this is your terrible, evil love. And it consumes, until there's nothing left. Fucking awesome.

Do not be surprised if bones and all related aus pop up. I am extremely predicable 😭

Tell me when to drink

Tell me when to eat

Tell me when to smile

Tell me when to breathe

Tell me when I overreact

No, tell me again, please

I love being told what to do
