for me, vore is more than just eating other things(living or object),
yes it gets you nutrients to survive but it can also be another form of intimacy, fun, or even a game
the prey simply held within then let out or kept in forever
digested and becoming part of the pred either forever w/ or w/o the soul being bound to their body or a body part. eventually reformed/released, and many other things
but i prefer there being little to no pain, no gore, crushing is iffy, willing is better but unwilling is fine, tf in various ways is good, melty digestion/absorption is great, merging w/ or w/o digestion is nice, disposal w/ or w/o bone fragments/clothes is fine, and of course pleasure and orgasms
'looks around'
and it even gets wierder at times
