Tinies keeping bugs as pets but the giant has Entomophobia

It would be like seeing godzilla get freaked out by your chiwawa

[side-shuffling-hyperfixations]

Imagining a meeting of the Raphs where they find out MM Raph has a giant bug for a new mom figure and they're like trying to seem chill about it because they're the older ones who want to keep it cool around the new guy but straight up if Scumbug actually came into the room, 2012 Raph would be out so fast

💥💥TW ENTOMOPHOBIA TALK💥💥

Okay so we know sun and moon were sold to the Fazbear entertainment company after their theatre didnt make enough money right

If there was any time between those two events (the theater being shut down, and sun and moon being sold) that must have ment they would've been shut down and stored somewhere, like a warehouse

What if during that time, they both subconsciously developed a phobia of bugs, because of the flies/spiders ect. basically inhabiting their body while they sat there

I imagine sun having times where his anxiety will make him think there's bugs on/around him, and it makes him itchy

Or maybe I'm rambling and trying to project my own entomophobia idk🤝

So we all know that Presentation Michael A.K.A. Present Mic is afraid of bugs.

I get the feeling that some of the students in class 1-A and some of the students in class 1-B love putting fake bugs around the school. Or when Mic is screaming his lungs out, he has someone like Midnight pick up one of the bugs, but she'll hold it for a second. But then she gets this sadistic idea and just tosses the bug at Mic and Mic would just pass out.

I am so excited to see more of the forbidden five and all its members and cool fanart and designs and stuff

But Drix will be the death of me

I have such a massive fear of bugs and especially close ups of bugs that they genuinely make me wanna cry and throw up

This is just a skill issue on my part but good gods this will haunt me for the rest of my ninjago days

[tremendously-crazy]

any reason why im scared a lot that there's bugs on me? I mean sure bugs have ended up on me a couple of times (centipede fell out of my hair once, spider crawled on my lap, etc) but its never been catastrophic. a lot of times feel like there's bugs crawling on me. I even get itchy like they're on me and just now I was crushing the sleeve of my shirt because I thought it was a crunchy bug in my sleeve, only to find no bug there at all. any reason for this? is this some kind of obsessive thing or just part of being a teenager?

[moris-i-cant-move-it-anymore]

I have an important question

Why is Eddie afraid of bugs?

Does he have some trauma with them?

[grimbluesins]

i saw the comic about what it’s like to be a worm and a human picks you up and that’s how eldritch beings are but consider: many humans Fear bugs just as much as bugs Fear humans. what if eldritch entiries Feared humans like humans Feared it.

like imagine: you meet a like 50-foot-tall ancient cursed godlike creature and it immediately snatches its equivalent of a hand away because it doesn’t want you to Climb. it picks you up in the fabric of the Universe and plops you off right at home. then you come back because you’re curious and the being holds out a Tree for you to climb on while it locates you elsewhere. imagine it sprays you with the Gas. guys. maybe i should channel this energy into my actual creative writing Class instead of sitting on tumblr all Sleepy. guys.

i hate it whenever bugs get into my bathroom bc like this is my naked place why are you here 😭

[jackson-dearest]

Hate the results of searching up specific phobias

While I'm not actually phobic I do sometimes experience a ton of stress in response to stuff like bugs and especially spiders but when i try searching it up to not feel as weird or find something to help I'm met with nothing but images that just worsen things and it happens everywhere. It's horrible and I wish it could be genuinely fixed.

Like, of course when I search up arachnophobia I want to see tonnes of images of real spiders, how did you know /s

[flowerv54]

Yea...

She was terribly affraid of butterflys before she meet Frank, but even when she was getting used to these insects she wasn't ready for this-

[tommyssupercoolblog]

My phobias are WEIRD because people can understand that I'm scared of thunder, especially with sensory issues.

They GET why I'm scared of bugs, why I might have a phobia of them.

but. Crabs. People do NOT understand my fear of crabs. Kabourophobia and Ostraconophobia are RARE AF and when I tell people I'm scared of crabs they are SHOCKED. Sometimes they don't even really believe it, like "really?? All crabs?? And shrimp too?? What about drawings?? What if they have a silly hat??"

YES ALL OF THEM ALL THE TIME, and all crustations to some degree but MOSTLY crabs, crabs can be panic attack inducing and crabs make me CRY AND SOB. I do not care if the crab has a silly hat. Good for him!!! I cannot cannot CANNOT handle a crab. Not even one. If there is a single crab in the building I am breaking down. I won't come over to your house if you have a pet crab. Maybee a small one is okay if you keep it locked up but I'll still be on edge the whole time so like it's either my place or you're sending the crab to someone else to babysit I CANNOT do crabs. Terrified of crabs.

*edit - as for drawings or plushies, it really depends. Sometimes a drawing is okay and other times it is NOT.

recent update

[coleopterabyte]

Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.

A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.

So, I am terrified of bugs

There are wasps that have decided that my window, and the back deck are the perfect nesting spots.

Can you guess what I found in my room? What I thought was a stray piece of fur from the dog?

Wanna know the proposed solution from my parents (whom I currently live with)?

Lunch bags

Brown lunch bags with air in them

Now, they're meant to mimic another nest but I am terrified of the thought that wasps will see an empty nest, nothing buzzing around it, *And Move In*

I've been reassured, that no, they don't do that, and that they will just leave, believing it to be another nest, and not wanting to encroach. But surely they're conscious in there (No, I've never watched the bee movie), surely one of them could try and move in, and that thought terrifies me.
