In his words, when a whale dies, it creates a whole new ecosystem so that from it new life can continue. And here is served the metaphore. The whole meaning of this misadventure is a representation of getting free from the chains of your own family, while still acknowledging that it is thanks to said family that you’re alive and well.
But it didn’t convince me. You know why? Because in none of these flashbacks did I get shown Jay spending some actual, pleasant time with his father. Getting explained things about the sea isn’t enough, cause so far you depicted the father as something that is so apeshit about the sea he makes his son suffer for his obsession. I wish I could have seen scenes where they did something else entirely. Like, I don’t know, them at an amusement park. Him giving Jay a present for his birthday. Him congratulating Jay for some good results at school. Just anything, anything positive. The only closest thing is him keeping Jay on his arms after being just born, promising his child that he’ll let him choose his life path regardless of what he thinks. Well, then he did not maintain his promise, cause the flashbacks of them two fighting are emotionally very intense: it’s clear that Jay hates the sea and hates his father.
So no, in my opinion the movie did not redeem his father, and Jay had no real reason to sacrifice himself just to find bones of a parent that emotionally abused him. The moral that I got from the story is that family is always something to be thankful for no matter what, and I think of all the things my friends had to endure because of family, I can only say go fuck yourself. Or am I too much of an individualistic, autistic, dragon personality to understand?

(Continues)

And that’s where he gets swallowed, of course. From now on, the rest of the movie is inside the whale, but there are several flashbacks about him and his father. And god, his father was an asshole. The kind of father that tries to make you like the same things he likes, in all the wrong ways: calls his son names when he doesn’t do things correctly, expresses his opinions sarcastically and bitterly, but the flashback that really made me question why Jay would even mourn him was one in which a friend of him, who’s celebrating birthday came by car to go to Seaworld, and Jim’s father bitterly says things against Seaworld that I even agree with, but that in that context really sound like an old man yelling at cloud, or worse, a toxic father getting manipulative with his own son, especially when he then says resentfully about a certain gift he had for him, or something like that.
Anyway, because his father still taught him a lot of things about the sea and its inhabitants, there’s some more flashbacks where Jay gets taught such things that will eventually make him get out. And here is the strange thing. At one point, and until the rest of the movie, Jay feels like he is talking to the whale, and the whale has the voice of his father. There’s this sort of...magical realism? That makes so that the whale and the father, as characters, are spiritually linked. Especially during a certain moment in which the whale is seriously at risk of dying, and Jay implores the whale to call its siblings to come in aid, it becomes clear that the moral of the story, at least part of it, is about family being always there for you. Eventually, Jim gets out by making the whale literally explode so that he gets shot to the surface (kinda, I know the way I’m writing it makes it sound like he did it with something by Acme Corporation), and there’s this other flashback in which the father tells him what a “whale fall” is. Which is interesting, yeah,I didn’t know about it.

(Continues)

Finally, that scene in the trailer where he screams “Help me!” from the gullet. That isn’t the part where he gets actually swallowed, but a moment in which he almost manages to get out only to be gulped back. So we even have pred teasing in the mix. Wow. Also, that scene gives us the opportunity to get a very good look at the maw and the tongue, since the whale in here is on.
In short, this is the vore media to end all previous vore medias. All predecessors – Pinocchio, Ice Age 3, Pagemaster, Anaconda – walked so that Whalefall could run. Well, Dragon Pilot is the only comparable one maybe, but the presence of so many elements that I usually will see only in explicitly vore videos makes Whalefall really stand out.
So, now I’ll talk about Whalefall as a movie itself. And I’ll show you how the real themes of it are mourning and family. The whale is just a way to attract people into it. A good movie by itself? Eeeehhhhh, didn’t fully convince me, but I’ll explain later.
What’s the starting point of the plot? The protagonist, Jay, is a young man whose father, a sea fanatic, having been diagnosed with a terminal sickness preferred to drown himself into the ocean rather than dying in a hospital bed. One year later, he is still tormented by the event and the fact there was no body to bury, so he decides to go scuba dive where the tragic event happened, hoping to find at least one bone.
I remember vividly the feeling of tension during the scenes in which he explores the deep ocean: it’s all dark (even before getting inside the whale), with very little noise, and no background music. Little to nothing happens before the whale comes. You know it’s going to happen, but you don’t know when. The anticipation was killing me; I was seriously getting afraid there would be a jumpscare. Luckily, there was none, the whale is introduced gradually enough.

(Continues)

So, first, from the vore point of view. It’s just as the trailers promised us. It’s awesome. Never mind that the director’s intentions are to make the spectator feel tense and wrapped by claustrophobia, with its dark and blue photography, reminescent of the depths of the ocean: watching the whale’s digestive tract has made me wish even more to be preyed upon. It’s dark, except for some bioluminescent stuff put there only because spectators wouldn’t certainly want to watch a black screen. It’s tight, and several times the stomach muscles close on the protagonist and put heavy physical pressure on him. Its air is dank and toxic, as we see from a short moment in which he tries to take off the oxygen tank. It’s not as noisy as stomachs are in internet vore videos though, and it’s fine for me. In certain scenes, it makes the stomach feel actually like a soothing, relaxing place, especially those moments when the protagonist seems to be close to surrendering. There is a scene where he even caresses the stomach walls, almost affectionately. Also, there is more food inside the stomach: a highlight is him fighting against a giant squid inside the stomach, which gets digested later.
A majority of the movie happens inside the whale’s first stomach, except for some flashback which I’ll cover in the second part of this article. There is a second one too, where actual digestion happens. The protagonist gets pushed there at one point in the first part, and unlike the first one, it’s vivid red, and it has gastric juices. Acid gastric juices. It does not get into gore cause the movie still wants to be viewable by teenagers too; but we see his hand getting acid wounds. Later though, he manages to get back to the first chamber, so no digestion at all happens.

A VORAPHILE'S OPINION ON WHALEFALL (Thread)

So, this month there’s been the vore event of the year, which I had been waiting for months: the release of Whalefall in theaters. For those who haven’t caught up with movie releases, it’s about a guy that gets swallowed alive by a sperm whale while diving, and has one hour to get out before his oxygen tank is emptied. Already the trailers proved that it would be incredibly detailed, so I – and many other voraphiles in the world – were waiting for it like the second come of our Lord.
I managed to go watching it in a theater this saturday night – alone, and making sure there was no one around me – taking notes to tell you guys what I felt watching this holy grail of vore in media. (A bit of spoilers in there, but I take for granted that whoever will read this isn’t gonna watch the movie for the plot.)
I have to talk about this movie from two perspectives: as a voraphile and as someone who just went to watch a movie, cause of course, despite being basically the ultimate vore movie, it was not meant for that – let’s just say that the whole thing about ending inside a whale and escaping from it is a metaphor from the movie’s actual main theme, but let’s do one thing at a time.

Yes, this is about Paramount/WB/Skydancer, and how Avatar: Seven Havens is a very good show that I would recommend any ATLA/TLOK fan watch.

Just, y'know. Not necessarily in the official manner...

"Oh, I've heard that show is good, but I'm not watching it because I don't want to subscribe to more streaming services/don't want to support the company..."

It's fucking surreal. There are images burned into my brain of looking at game / sim mods and other cool projects in the pre-LLM slop era. Even just 1 to 2 years ago. It's not just a bygone era, it was an entirely different universe. Those were the glory days...

404 dragon not found

To expand on that, literally every game modding scene there is has turned into a claude or some other LLM slop fest this year.

If there's one thing those can do fast because it's all about moving fast and breaking things, it's killing my enthusiasm for these scenes.

I love how every, and I mean EVERY mod or software utility for flight sims that released this year or is a longer running project that has been updated this year is made with claude. /s

Today is a day where people are learning that "Maximum speed" can mean many things.

The maximum speed the thing can reach is very different from the maximum speed the thing can be controlled at, which is also very different from the maximum speed it should go at considering all external factors.

That's what it's about 🩵

I think these disabling injuries have degendered and desexualized me. Most importantly, no longer sensing my true form and species, returning to a mortal human.
