(cross-posting the message here if you want to answer it) vore isn't my thing, but your core talk reminded me of something. What about core play where the core is still attached? Core groping, fondling, etc. I've had this image in my head for awhile of drones groping each other's chest cavity, teasing the various components and wires in there. Like instead of slipping their hand under someone's shirt, they slip it under the open chestplate to literally touch each other's hearts
I've seen "coreplay" stuff a lot in art and fics and like objectively it's a really cool and fun idea! I wish I could like it more on a personal level, I think it comes down to the fact I'm not actually into robots/machines in and of themselves (MD has been a huge pattern breaker for me but the organic parts of the gore are the main draw in for me), like wire play and that type of stuff doesn't do anything for me either. I DO like that kind of thing in regular gore like, sticking your hands in someone and squeezing their guts, heart, etc, in theory I want it to apply to the core thing? But I think knowing its like a mechanical robot consciousness thing turns me off ๐ This also happens to be the reason why when I do draw gore, I'm making the majority of it meaty looking lol.
As far as me doing anything with cores, the perhaps only actual aspect I like about them to find hot is the very convenient vore potential that's canon compliant. (Being small enough to swallow alive and conscious)
I appreciate them though in a non kink sense for fluff stuff though or like hurt/comfort. I've imagined some like nuzi scenarios like canon divergent wise where either of them die Nori-style where they don't have a body anymore, but the other one loves and protects them while being a little core crab.
In that same realm I've seen like. Cores themselves fucking (or whatever constitutes it) and that's a turn off again lol)
But yeah basically, not so much a kink thing for me outside of vore but I appreciate the application they can have for fluff and stuff!
