Is it painful to be eaten by a mind flayer?

Do you guys think dying is painful? Not the way you die, but the actual feeling of dying itself?

Go read 'The Testament of Magdalen Blair'

I don't see why it would be irl but the metaphysics of a fantasy setting could make dying painful

That must be why migraines don't exist then.

Canonically, yes, and in fact the fear and pain of the host is a necessary element. The flayers consider it seasoning/cooking, otherwise brains are Soylent. And yes, they have to be the brains of sapient beings capable of thought

No

You have a big brain

DEPENDS HOW THEY DO IT OP
LIKE, DO YOU NOT KNOW THEY'RE LITERALLY A MASSIVE PSIONIC SUCTION ORGAN AND THAT THEY SPEED EAT YOU IN COMBAT AND MAKE YOUR SKULL SOFTER BY AN ENSYME THEY RELEASE BEFORE THE HIDDEN MOUTH TENTACLE COMES OUT AND INSTANTLY STRIKE YOUR CEREBRUM KILLING YOU INSTANTLY?

OR THE PART WHERE THEY CAN LITERALLY USE THEIR JAW SAWWIGN TEETH TO SLOWLY CUT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF, POP TENTACLES IN AND START SCOOPING BITS OF YOU OUT, BITING YOU OUT, USING THEIR POWERS TO TRASMIT THE FEELINGS TO OTHERS, WHAT YOUR THINKING AND HOW YOU'RE SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN, PISSING YOURSELF DUE TO TRAUMA AND NERVEROUS SHOCK SURGIN GTHROUGH YOUR POOR ASSUALTED BODY

OR ARE THEY MAKING YOU ENJOY YOUR OWN DEATH VIA REROUTING YOUR SHIT NERURALLY DESPITE YOU CLEARLY RECOGNIZING IN FAILED STATE SOMETHING IS WRONG.

WHAT IS PERFOMANCE EATING?

FOR FUCKS SAKES, YOU 5ENIGGERS ARE SCUM OF THE EARTH.

FROM A FIRST PERSON PERSPECTIVE, IT'S LIKE WATCHING WHAT HAPPENS TO MULTIPLE COMPUTER MONITORS AS YOU OPEN THE COMPUTER IT'S HOOKED UP TO UP AND START SMASHING WITH A HAMMER, POUR SOME ACID IN AND WATER WHILST YOUR AT IT.

GO FAP TO SOME ILLITHID GURO PORN LIKE A REAL MAN

That is pressure to the skull you brainlet.

Actually forget that, just watch any snuff video with head injuries, it's like that but you're held standing up as what is basically the process of Squids cracking shit open with their beaks goes down, except there's no beak, at least not most of the time due to various artistic merits, choices and conflicting sources.

It is, mostly Hidden tentacle and Saw blade mouth, unless base humanoid for cerebromorphis affects anything.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?!?!?!?!

Grab a hand full of pencils and shove them all up your nose at once. Now tell us how you feel. This is for science so try to be honest.

>brainlet pretends to understand anatomy

Your brain does not experience pain when you have a migraine. There are no pain receptors in the brain itself. But the meninges (coverings around the brain), periosteum (coverings on the bones), and the scalp all have pain receptors. The brain does not feel that pain.

Thanks for explaining

>but the actual feeling of dying itself?

Curiously, the guillotine remains the most painless method of execution precisely because it's designed to minimize the time between the body shutting down and brain death.

CRUISE CONTROL, MOTHERFUCKER

I'm sure some mind flayers enjoy bombarding their prey with psychic pleasure signals. Gourmet brains are from those that are begging to be eaten.

InCase?

Well, didn't know I had that fetish. Thanks Veeky Forums.

There's 3.5 lore about some mind-flayers making a kind of entertainment out of the torture and consumption of mortal minds. The audience enjoys waves of psychic energy from the performance.

While the brain itself feels no pain, the skin, bone, and few muscle layers around it, and the arteries and veins in it, all do feel pain.

YES IT'S FUCKING PAINFUL TO HAVE ACID DRIPPING SERRATED TEETH TEAR HOLES IN YOUR HEAD AND EXPOSE YOUR BRAIN. ARE YOU FUCKINg STUPID?

Welcome to the magical realm.

I remember there was on FFT doujin on the subject, along with monster breeding.

Aren’t you alive as a severed head for like 2 minutes until your brain dies from lack of oxygen/blood?

Firing squad is objectively the most humane if we’re talking about pain. It’s not used because you can’t have an open casket, but you were talking about a guillotene, so whatever.

All it takes to make a pic of someone being eaten sexual for you is a female having an “Oh” face?

Not him, but for me? Pretty much.

Looks more like Sillygirl

>Aren’t you alive as a severed head for like 2 minutes
Here's an experiment - cut your carotid and see if you'll be in pain for two entire minutes.
Actually, don't do that.

Either tell the fag to kill himself or don't
Don't double guess yourself.

Vore is a hell of a drug.

Bah, Aboleth's are better. Their tentacles can slowly turn people into googirls.

sauce?

There was an entry either in lords of madness or one of the underdark books talking of how a Mind Flayer had put a magic item on his victim so that they would have two way empathy.
And how the mind flayer was enjoying the wonderful flavor of the fear that built up as the victim felt the dulled pain of the tentacle secretions melting away at the scalp and burning into the skull, followed by the horrible realization as the victim realized just how delicious his brain is before death.

Though I know the Realmspace book suggests that mindflayers love adventurous minds that are creative and exciting the most, which is why they made a farm of humanoids who have been purposefully bred to be too weak to accomplish much (while retaining a fairly large brain mass), but are raised and educated to believe that the mind flayers are their friends assisting them in becoming the grand warriors of the galaxy who will destroy evil and right wrongs wherever they go!
Most end up on dinner plates, but ones that show particularly insightful thoughts or creative thinking are instead given a psionic lobotomy and thrown into the breeding pits to help breed more juicy brains without letting the one who might actually be a risk think freely.

depends on the species of illithid,

>painless
We have no idea if having your head suddenly severed is painful or not because everyone who had it happen can't really tell us.

I don't know

It hurts but it's quick. Once it's grabbed you with all four tentacles it takes less than 6 seconds for it to pierce your skull with its beak and suck your brain out.

That presumes that it hasn't stunned you with its mind blast. If it has, you might not feel a thing.

There's some secondary brain activity still happening, only because that many blood vessels being severed at once means it doesn't leak like a busted pipe, so a neuron or 3 can still fire. But you're broadcasting to empty space. Terry Schiavo had a better case of still being "alive"

It's the act of causing pain, but making it pleasurable for the victim.

I forgot.

Being "consumed" by THIS type of Mindflayer:

>mgewiki.com/w/Mindflayer

...Ain't so bad.

>The following report was written by Dr. Beaurieux, who experimented with the head of a condemned prisoner by the name of Henri Languille, on 28 June 1905:
>Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds. This phenomenon has been remarked by all those finding themselves in the same conditions as myself for observing what happens after the severing of the neck ...
>I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased. [...] It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: "Languille!" I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions – I insist advisedly on this peculiarity – but with an even movement, quite distinct and normal, such as happens in everyday life, with people awakened or torn from their thoughts.
>Next Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves. I was not, then, dealing with the sort of vague dull look without any expression, that can be observed any day in dying people to whom one speaks: I was dealing with undeniably living eyes which were looking at me. After several seconds, the eyelids closed again [...].
>It was at that point that I called out again and, once more, without any spasm, slowly, the eyelids lifted and undeniably living eyes fixed themselves on mine with perhaps even more penetration than the first time. Then there was a further closing of the eyelids, but now less complete. I attempted the effect of a third call; there was no further movement – and the eyes took on the glazed look which they have in the dead.
Alive, yes. Are you still you? No. It's basic functions.

>captured men are kept by the mindflayers to rape for themselves, and possibly turned into squids
>Ain't so bad.

What does it mean to be dying? In some definitions we're all dying, from the moment of birth, in others, dying doesn't really exist, there is no medium between life and death, just a blink.

I don't know, it seems here that the head was reacting to the sound of its name.
The guy would have to be somewhat there to respond to that in such a manner.

>Mindflayer marriage counselor
Should be a thing with normal mindflayers too.

Monster Girls Illithid, just like the Shoggoths are utter shit that didn't even try.

Should've been like this.

Is it erotic to be eaten by a mind flayer

Kenkou Cross' designs were never that creative from the get-go, since he rarely ever changes even the basic body or facial structure, but he's been getting a lot worse lately.

uncropped sauce?

Does the brain even have nerves to react to pain and touch?
I assume you would quickly lose motor functions and all manner of horrid things would happen to your psyche, albeit for a short while.

>sinner

Very likely until your capacity to feel pain is chomped.
Having your skull chewed open would suck.
The better question is how long does that process take? what if it's a particularly frail mind flayer and it like being sawed into with a dull knife.

wouldn't a bullet to the brain be less painful or or any number of gasses that'd make you drift off to sleep forever?

From how it's described, illithid tentacles secrete a powerful acid that dissolves flesh and bone but not fatty tissue (like the brain), and they have sharp teeth to prise apart bone and hold the victim in place. It takes 6 seconds (10 if you use AD&D rules). 1 round. then you're dead.

Oh sweet innocent user...

That pic is cropped porn

That's answered several times in this thread.

Eventually you run out of ideas. I think he said himself he was going to stop at around 200.

He said he called in a strong, sharp voice. He didn't say he did so saying anything else. For all we know, the name is inconsequential. He could have been screaming "PENIS" and the head would have probably reacted the same.

Holy fuck that just messed me up. Won't be able to sleep for weeks.
