i was sixteen when i first came up with eat. am twenty-one now. i've grown much more open-minded about philosophy and writing. though i definitely don't think eat is blank philosophy, even when i do intentionally use blank philosophy as an affect.

eat is about whatever you want, but the eat that i write is about concepts because concepts have defined and impacted my life in ways i have always struggled to understand. well, the original eat was just a water monster. which i didn't like, hence why over the years i've developed her to be a lot more specific. the water is essentially her "medium."

also worth clarifying: to me, blank philosophy is more of a handwave thing, when philosophy is brought up just for the sake of having philosophy. usually falls apart upon scrutiny. but also bear in mind that i don't really try to get back into the mindset of when i was writing eat, so i'm usually not comfortable with remembering why i wrote her the way i did-- that is, i am bad at explaining her.
