Angelophobia fear of angels

Jisung: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of clowns and my social anxiety Minho: How about you and me? Jisung, tearing up: O-okay

[pratchettquotes]

Victor remembered being frightened of tigers when he was young. In vain did people point out that the nearest tiger was three thousand miles away. He'd say, "Is there any sea between where they live and here?" and people would say, "Well, no, but--" and he'd say, "Then it's just a matter of distance."

Darkness was the same thing. All dreadful dark places were connected by the nature of darkness itself. Darkness was everywhere, all the time, just waiting for the lights to go out.

Just watched Agatha All Along episode 5, and spoilers, buuuut ...

"Yay", ANOTHET fecking teenager who I feel betrayed by (but who didn't betray ME, I guess, but STILL) 🙄 ...

I told my housemate who kept saying it's just a series, that I would be fine, and am just enjoying it, having fun with being a bit sad - reasonably sad - but now I wanna sob for hours and lash out at any teenager I encounter, and my teenage ghost Colby Tybbles would have to re-build my mood and our relationship again.

Like, don't get me wrong, I have no idea what happened in that fecking ending, but I'm so stressed I can't even finish my popcorn, and struggle to not cry.

RIP Alice as well, who I was JUST starting to like ...

RIP to me platonically loving Teen, adoring everything about him (except every outfit he completed trials in), thinking the actor is a perfect actor (and doubting he's even an actor because that seemed real), having him be a reason that I'm less afraid around both Colby Tybbles and teenagers in general, etc.

Like, I know none of this was personal, and Teen is just ONE teen, and not everyone is like him, and I shouldn't even BE reacting like this, but I don't wanna hear people complain about my reaction, and I don't even have my main coping mechanism thing around, so I'm kinda in "the world is ending" level fear, "GO FUCK YOURSELF, ALL OF YOU", level anger, and "FECK MY LIFE" level sadness.

Like, I know I shouldn't even be reacting like this/this much, to a show - a fun weekly comedy show at that, and it especially shouldn't have these effects, this strong, but I feel horrible and like a monster as if someone betrayed me, and I don't even have my local 30 year old by my side.

I just want this FECKING week to be over (as well as the next one)

Edit: I meant episode 5.

*as in, if they have regular animal expressions like the chicken in Moana, they're fine. but the goat in Wish freaks me out.

Irrational fear | Sasuke x reader

CW: Emetophobia

no use of y/n

Anyone else have a fear of throwing up? …………………………………………………

You had gone out with friends and ate something bad because suddenly saliva was collecting in your mouth like you were going to throw up and this immediately freaked you out. You swallowed several times to try and prevent the inevitable but it was no use. You suddenly stood up and dashed to the bathroom not even bothering to tell your boyfriend, Sasuke where you were going.

“Hey!” He said standing up and following you. “Are you okay?” You didn’t acknowledge him before rushing into the bathroom and kneeling down over the toilet, tears staining your face. Puking always made you panic, the feeling, the taste, it was all very overwhelming. Sasuke stood in the doorway before fully coming into the bathroom with you.

He knelt down beside you. “Hey…..what’s wrong?” He sounded slightly concerned which was out of character for your boyfriend.

“I-“ you managed to stutter out before gripping the side of the toilet, fearing the worst, even if it was irrational it always felt very real in the moment. Almost like you were going to die. “I- I feel like I’m going to throw up….” You mutter out, tears dripping down your cheeks.

Sasuke sighs, gently pulling your hair out of your face out having been through this routine with you before. Something happens that makes you feel sick, you start panicking about the possibility of throwing up and inevitably puking your guts out and being fine.

“Try to breathe.” He said with a neutral expression with a glint of concern in his eyes “Even if it’s slow.”

“It’s better to get it out of your body.”

“I-I know but…” you say quietly, saliva dripping from your mouth. You cut yourself off, attempting to take a deep breath only to make yourself gag. You knew it was going to happen but you still tried to avoid it, you put your hand over your mouth even if it was futile. Sasuke gently but firmly grabs your wrist and takes it away from your mouth.

“You know you have to, it’s the only way to feel better.” Sasuke stated calmly.

You nod concededly , resting your head on the edge of the toilet before throwing up violently with Sasuke holding your hair out of the way. When you’re finished puking, Sasuke wipes your face with a paper towel before looking at your with those dark eyes of his asking if you’re okay without verbalizing it.

You nod weakly, finally letting out a sigh of relief that it’s over. You sit on the floor suddenly remembering your surroundings feeling absolutely horrified that you just left your friends without explanation. Sasuke can sense your turmoil and uses his fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.

“It’s alright, you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone.”

He stands up and offers his hand to help you up as well, you take it and readjust your clothes feeling embarrassed for what happened.

“I’m sorry…” you say quietly, Sasuke waves the apology off dismissively

“Don’t be.”

“But-“

“I already said don’t be.”

You nod and smile, both of you walking back out into the restaurant and sitting back down at the table with your friends.

“Are you okay, dattebayo? Naruto asked, concern lacing his tone

“Yeah, I’m fine, just something I ate.” You nod reassuringly

The rest of your friends drop the topic before going back to eating.

“See?” Sasuke whispered to you

“I guess you’re right.”

“I’ll help you fight this fear….” Sasuke muttered, so you could just barely hear him

“What?”

“Nothing.” He said with a small smile, resting his hand on yours

Maybe you could get over this phobia

………………………………… A/n: i didn’t put this through grammarly or had it proofread so it could possibly entirely suck. But I hoped you enjoyed it.

Love, Rei <3

What if there comes a day when I play my music but it doesn't make me feel anything.

There's nothing that scares me more than that day.

The day when even music will leave my side.

I don’t know if I have like imposter syndrome or something but every once in a while I get really insecure about whether I ‘deserve’ to be in my fandoms just because my favourite musicals are ‘popular’ ones or because I’m a female Marvel fan. Like there’s someone around every corner waiting to ask me if I can name six different female Marvel characters or someone who’ll call me a fake theatre kid, I try to combat this by sitting down and listing how many musicals I know, how many Marvel characters I know, and how much Doctor Who/Marvel lore I know. It’s irrational and weird because in my mind I see it as like one of those cop shows or movies but instead of being asked “Hand in your gun and badge” in my case it would be “Hand in your replica Sonic Screwdriver and your theatre programmes” all because deep down I’m terrified of being labelled a fake fan 😅

[frog-man-moments]

i have an irrational fear that, lets say i'm comforting say i'm comforting someone online and type something like " hey your pretty cool" i'm scared that somehow, someway that those words are going to magically transform into something rude and hatful or something like that. I don't know why, that is literally I'm possible to happen but i just wanted to vent.

Help me pick a Corny bar flavor (only 1, don't know how much time I have) - this isn't urgent or an emergency or anything, I just have a weirdly big fear of choosing the wrong choices. Will pick whatever the first person to answer this, chooses.

Please answer ASAP.
