Potentially controversial take… but digestion makes or breaks it for me. It’s usually what I skip ahead to in a lot of cases. It’s the marriage of everything I love. Power dynamics, maybe some domination involved, maybe even a tender permission to do with the prey as the pred pleases. The way growling and grumbling becomes gurgling and thick churning. The way the belly’s shape evolves over the process. The sounds themselves. Nothing about it I don’t like, and I’ll take it in pretty much any flavor.
