History Literature / EricThePie

* ArcWords: The phrase, ''you are what you eat'', is repeated throughout the text. It began as a saying Eric's mother told her child often where Eric ended up taking these words to heart, especially after she clarified that food gives him life and that if he doesn't eat he dies, by devouring live animals in an increasing sadistic manner in hopes of combining their lives together with his and gain their aspects. The phrase is used to emphasize how much Eric took his mother's words to heart, with the implications of the phrase changing [[spoiler:when he gets a taste of his own medicine at the end when sewer rats start to feast on him, realizing that he'd became a meal himself.]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Eric, a sadistic animal abuser who ate animals live in increasingly cruel ways - including sexually assaulted a calf while eating it alive - and eats a coworker by disemboweling her ends up dies a painful, humiliating death in his own torture den, at the teeth of the very animals he tormented for so long.]] It could not have happened to a nicer guy.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Eric dies a painful, humiliating death in his own torture den, at the teeth of the very animals he tormented for so long.]] It could not have happened to a nicer guy.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Any animal Eric gets his hands on, [[spoiler: Eric’s coworker Deborah (whom Eric disembowls and starts to eat alive]], and [[spoiler: Eric himself-see EatenAlive, below.]] (Good riddance on that last one!)

* FromBadToWorse: Eric starts by eating some woodlouse, and then moves onto birds, then to lesser mammals. When he’s finally an adult, he has a torture chamber in his flat full of live, mutilated animals that he periodically bites chunks out of. Then he bring his coworker home…

The story from there follows Eric as he grows up into a young man, all the while taking his mothers words to heart. Maybe a little too much to heart.

* ArcWords: ''You are what you eat! ''

* EatenAlive: Eric tends to just go straight into chowing down regardless if his current meal is alive and squirming.
[[spoiler: Eric himself is afforded the same treatment courtesy of a swarm of rats, finally learning "the sin of being predatory".]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Any animal Eric gets his hands on, Eric’s coworker Deborah, Eric himself. (good riddance)

** Eric himself is afforded the same treatment courtesy of a swarm of rats.

* {{Gorn}}: As you have probably already realized, this story is quite graphic, and has earned a small amount of infamy for that fact. There’s too many examples to list them, but the climax features Eric disemboweling his coworker Deborah, who retaliates by shoving a hook up his ass, which prompts him to scream while his head is ''inside her stomach. ''

* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Eric is aroused sexually twice in the story, both times while he’s killing something.

* UndignifiedDeath: Eric gets a meat hook shoved into his anus, hung from the ceiling by said meat hook, is left dangling helplessly for a lengthy period of time before shimmying his way free, is left writhing on the ground for an even longer time, and is then abruptly devoured alive by a swarm of rats.

* BestialityIsDepraved: As a boy, Eric encounters an ewe trapped in a fence. After he breaks all of its limbs and starts biting into it, he also inexplicably begins to ''rape '' it as well, something which he does not do ever again in the story.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Hoist by his own meat hook in this case, but the same principle applies. For added irony, the only reason he was hoisted in the air in the first place is because Deborah got a hold of one of the half dead animals and uses it as a counterweight.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: While we don’t really see an exceptional amount of affection, Eric still clearly respects his mother enough to heed her advice (however wrong his is about it) well into his adulthood.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Eric takes the common phrase ‘you are what you eat’ and twists it into him being able to absorb the abilities of animals if he eats them alive.
How the extended torture helps is a mystery though.

* Irony: Eric initially fears becoming a meat pie through his eating habits, so he decides to start eating live animals so that he can gain their abilities. What he didn’t realize until it was far too late for him to do anything about it was that, by that same logic, Eric would become ''exactly like the animals '' he abused; defenceless, afraid, and about to be somebody else’s lunch. Ergo, Eric really ''did '' become a meat pie.

* {{Determinator}}: Deborah Gibbs somehow has the wherewithal to jam one of Eric’s hook into his anus while being disemboweled. She followed that up by hoisting him into the air as she expires. She dies right after but it certainly wasn’t in vain.
