#phobia of physics

[thecouncilofidiots]

I am fucking TERRIFIED of quantum physics/physics.

Like, clouds?? Do you know how much they fucking weigh? I know it's not possible, but like, if they were to fall?? Several tons of water just SUSPENDED in the air above us all. How does it work??

Gravity?? We have theories, BUT WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE HOW IT WORKS YET. It plays such a big part in how our world/universe works, and we have no answers.

I can't even think about it without freaking the fuck out, so yeah. Sounds like phobias to me 🙃

*NOTE: in this case, phobia refers to a very strong irrational fear, not being a little scared of something. if you can handle snakes but they make you nervous, that's not a phobia.

A few months ago I drew out some headcanons related to various disablities & other physical conditions and decided to finish them up now that It's disability pride month ( Even If not all are necessarily disablitles <3 )

Inktober Day 18: Drive

Subnautica made me face my fear of the deep ocean. It also validated that fear.

The seamoth was the first thing to make me feel a bit more confident.

(about last reblog), ah, yeah, like that one time I got anon hate for *spins wheel*

- having a gay man character when I, myself, am a ace woman

- having an east-asian looking fantasy character when I am Caucasian

(currently getting extremely emotional over seeing pics of my lil brothers top surgery realizing i havent actually fully come to terms with the fact it will never be possible for me-

where i live the process to get to that point is extremely invasive and difficult; plus i am not trans enough anyway (nonbinary basically doesnt exist- theres only one or the other, i dont want T either even if id love to have some effects of it, i do not want other changes it causes) so that alone makes it pretty impossible already, and i am incredibly scared of anyone seeing or touching me in certain places and of surgery .. and hospitals .. everything basically.

(please dont try to give me hope about that, it will only make it worse in the end, i just need to deal with these emotions rn and get back to where i was, sorry)

My Hero Academia 427 Spoilers

Imo, Overhaul's ending is fine.

I'm glad he'll never see Eri again (it would be unfair to her if she was forced to see her abuser) and I'm glad he has his dad back but still keeps his punishment.

I just wish we got a little bit more. It wouldn't make sense, but I was holding out hope for a full explanation of his backstory. I really wish more was done with Overhaul. But you win some you lose some, and fanfiction is a thing. This isn't a first for me, lol.

I also do wish The Boss took more accountability, since he raised Kai. And I wish he didn't subtly blame Kurono. But that's it. Solid 5/10 ending for my favorite character. Not great, not awful, it makes sense and I accept it. 👍

I accidentally cut my finger while opening a can of refried beans and because I have hemophobia (fear of blood), it took my brain about 5-10 minutes to figure out that I’m not dying. 😭

The interesting intersection of having both physical and mental disabilities and experience abled bodied mentally ill ableism and sane minded physically ill ableism

​this may not be very coherent bc I have a narsty cold but it’s something I don’t see talked about much— I’ve been thinking about how much I enjoy the fact that Peter Parker/Spider-Man is kind of creepy. Like. I love that he’s got that freaky “teleport when you’re not looking” ability spiders have, the creepy crawling, the fast and unpredictable movements, the eerie stillness, the hanging, the warning that they’re around with entangling traps or even just dissolving cobwebs that let you know they’re in the area. the kind of animalistic, unnatural, disturbing parts of being a spider that makes spiders, and spider-man, so cool

it's fucked up that whenever I warn medical professionals I'm going to see for procedures involving needles about my needle phobia I also have to beg them to not use physical restraints on me without my consent. Doctors are way too comfortable responding to "I might not be able to do this procedure because of my mental health issues" with "well we'll just force you to then, no issue :)". Physical restraints almost always cause trauma, likely PTSD, and come with a significant risk of bodily harm or death even when used completely correctly (which they often aren't). I legitimately still have panic attacks every time a doctor uses terms like "we might need" or "we might have to" surrounding needles because of being physically restrained in a hospital well over 5 years ago. Doctors love to use their position to exert force and control over patients who deny them for any reason, regardless of how legitimate the reason is. They get away with it because they're assumed by the public to have the patient's best interest at heart. I know a lot of people don't really understand what we go through but severely phobic people deal with all the dismissal of something like anxiety. Conversely, as soon as people realize how serious it is and how irrational we are we get treated with the level of fear, ignorance, and dehumanization of something like delusions. There's no middle ground, I've never had a doctor or non-doctor immediately approach my condition with understanding or compassion. It's either dismissal or being treated like a rabid animal, and neither of those result in getting your needs met in a way that doesn't traumatize you.

Craziest advertising flaw I’ve seen in my life is: it’s impossible to look up “spider catcher” or even “spider catcher for arachnophobes” without EVERY. SINGLE. PRODUCT. having a blown up picture of a spider in it.

My mom is like "You don't need both the TV and the radio turned on :/" like she doesn't understand that the whole point is that the inside of my head is so loud that the only way to fight the 'inside loudness' is with 'outside loudness' but :') this is fine I'll just keep going insane :') no need to worry about me :')

I see a lot of art tutorial posts saying how to draw black people or fat people (just some examples I see most often, I’m sure this applies to other things) and a lot of them say “if you don’t draw x people well you’re a bad artist” and many people comment that on art posts where someone doesn’t draw a character’s body type (or other physical trait) accurately because apparently they didn’t even try to represent their body accurately.

Personally, I think it’s a bad message to tell people they’re a bad artist for not drawing certain traits accurately. While it may help some people, for many it’ll just discourage them from drawing as they feel like their art is bad.

Many people genuinely are trying their best at drawing certain body types or physical features, but since they’re still practicing it’s not going to look perfect. And that’s okay! Let people know how to improve, but don’t tell them they’re bad at art. People aren’t going to improve if they’re told their art is bad, it’ll just discourage them.

Insulting someone for drawing a character “too skinny” even if they clearly made an effort to draw their body as well as they could will just make them feel bad. Why not encourage them for trying to draw the character’s body accurately, and tell them how to improve on it? Provide reference images for certain physical traits and say how they could be applied to their style. Don’t insult them. Especially since many artists who struggle drawing certain traits are younger or beginners.

I’m not the best at drawing fat bodies or black features, but I am trying to improve on it. I have many sketchbook pages where I practice drawing different parts of the body. There’s always room to improve! But telling someone they’re bad at art doesn’t help. You can teach people how to improve without insulting their art.

So many tutorials have helpful information yet they can be quite rude towards people who don’t draw things accurately. People are more likely to listen to advice if you’re encouraging, not if you’re insulting.

(Note: I’m not black so I didn’t make any remarks about drawing black and other POC features accurately as I didn’t want to say anything incorrect. If you are black I’d appreciate your input! I’m just speaking from my perspective about drawing fat people, I’d appreciate perspectives of other people who are commonly drawn incorrectly!)

All my life I’ve felt really uncomfortable about my chest (not boobs I mean the actual sternum) and idk why but some days it drives me nuts. I have to clutch my chest while resting because even just having my arms down gives it a psychologically tingly feeling with phantom pain… the thought of it being touched makes me want to throw up

[hypokeimena]

i had a spider event. i have been mad for years that in my adhd assessment the doctor asked me casually if i was scared of anything and i was like "spiders freak me out but it doesn't really impact me in my day to day life and i've worked on being able to handle casual spider cohabitation" and he put an arachnophobia dx in my chart based on that interaction. however today i had a Spider Event and i'm starting to think maybe he was fair.
