I wasn't quite sure how to word the title of this thread!

But I was inspired by a recent thread started by Bobographer2 asking about enjoyment of planning substances. I instantly saved the image from that original post into my folder of 'Tantalising WAM Substances' ready and waiting to be used (or at least they are in my imagination!).

I hope it's ok to start a separate thread for this - I was thinking much in the same vein as the famous 'Girls holding pies' type of collections, but for specific close up images of buckets/vats/bowls/pools/baths/containers full of gunge/slime/muck/gunk/slop/savoury mix ready to be used. Many of these are from non-WAM contexts, e.g. cooking imagery, baking mixes, soups, or industrial vats of stuff in factories. But I also love shots in scenes that pan over the prepared gunge/slime/savoury stuff about to be used, especially in big buckets/bowls etc.

But there is something really so appealing to me about the wetness, the lumpiness, heaviness of a big batch of a substance, which I imagine is waiting to be administered. The sense of anticipation and thrill of 'humiliation dread' around the idea of 'all of THAT is going to be over (me/you)'

Some of my best WAM memories come from TV show setups where a contestant is poised above an enormous vat of gunge (a la The Plunga scenes!) and just the thought of staring into the sheer mass of gunk with a sense of inevitability is very exciting to me. As my fantasies have evolved over the years it's fun to imagine a vat this size filled with the kind of compiled savoury slop you see collected at the end of multiple buckets of mixed food.

I also can't be the only one who sometimes gets slightly turned on over the sight of a big bowl of cake batter or lumpy soup or something that has appealing WAM-like qualities - even in a non WAM context like a baking show or just real life food prep - the little WAM demon in me says "Hey now wouldn't you like that slopped over you!!"

Anyway, here's a bunch of examples attached from my collection - I hope this makes sense and it would be amazing to get a thread going if anyone else collects these sort of pics!!

(Apologies if I've used a pic from anyone's scene without credit - these are from a big unorganised folder and will happily add credit where credit's due on request!)

This is really cool to think about

Yesss get it all over me fill my pants slop my head and face!!!!

This is possibly where I got the idea to use poseable figurines in bowls or other containers of mess. You need far less of the substances when your model is only a foot tall! LOL

Cons: Model isn't real, can't move, interact, etc. Videos cannot be made.

Pros: Model works for free, never complains, final photos look fairly realistic if you use a bit of imagination. The process also helps to prepare for actual messy photo shoots that could happen one day. Clean up only takes minutes.

This is an underrated thread! I think you've struck up a good topic for discussion here.

I'm going to think about it some more before, likely, a detailed reply.

This could be sent to producers as reference for mess in customs
