Yeah actually I'm a little annoyed by that vampire video it's not even that wrong it just doesn't make sense to me...(Person who has read numerous academic publications on vampires for fun).
#.txt#okay i said for fun and it WAS for fun#but i also did a huge presentation on the evolution of depiction of vampires in media#and what fear they represented over time#the reason why all the first ones were so sexy is bc people were panicking over sex#especially women having sex#and yeah theres the assault narrative#but its more about moral purity and not giving into ruinous temptation#and that changes as sex becomes less scary#tho of course the fun paradox is that whenever you write a morality play you also get to express said sexuality#thats why its weirdly easy to read carmilla as not totally against lesbians#i think its bc its from lauras perspective? you get the sense she would have been happy if the men hadnt intervened#but maybe thats the only way i can read it now thanks to carmen maria machado's edition..#theres a convincing paper from the 90s that even dracula was a reactionary response to oscar wilde's trial and conviction#at least partly. bc stoker sent love letters to walt whitman..lol...#anyway as time passes you get kind vampires representing contagious disease#i am legend. the hunger#a lot of vampire fear is also like racism/xenophobia#fear of invaders#thats also present in dracula but other stuff too#there was another big thing but i cant remember rn because i got 3 hours of sleep and dont have access to my notes#but even this concept of the fears they represent evolving over time isnt like. a hard and fast rule#especially with how much we remake the old stuff over and over#*kind of vampires representing disease. they arent kind. lol#near dark has multiple things going on but the blood transfusion scene also treats it like a disease#v

Ever since Technus acted on his feelings of mischievousness all of Casper High, the A-listers and faculty included have been giving Tucker a wide berth. No one, not even Danny and Sam has ever seen him on the warpath like this and quite frankly it scares them.
Tucker on the other hand doesn't understand why everyone's acting so apprehensive around him. It's not like threatening to erase a ghost from existence is anything new. The Fentons and Valerie do it all the time.
But whatever. None of this is of any importance to him. The only things that matter right now is getting past Titans East tower's security and deleting those love letters before they're opened and read, then keeping his promise to take Technus' afterlife for daring to expose his most embarrassing secret.
Unfortunately, he's too late in completing the first objective. Not only is every last one of those emails now marked as read, the object of his affections is in the process of typing out a response.
Okay. This is fine. This is perfectly fine. He can easily fix this by living out the rest of his life off the grid. But first, he has a technology obsessed ghost to end.
Meanwhile in Steel City
It was a lot to wade through, but Bumblebee managed to get through all her not so secret admirer's love letters. Though rather cringeworthy, especially that attached audio with that horrific excuse of a singing voice, it was all strangely charming and kinda sweet as well. Bumblebee is honestly touched. So much to the point that she'd like to meet this Tucker Foley and get to know him better. She's already sent forth a reply requesting a time and place.

Alien au :3 by silly 0 shark
More art and info abt it vvv
Anxiety and the new emotions are aliens disguised as humans going to college except for Nostalgia who is an English professor and Envy a kid Disgust babysits. All the emotions except for Nostalgia are in a club which so happens to be about aliens. Although it’s mostly a club where they hangout as many of the members don’t care about aliens and are only there to have fun with friends. Unfortunately Anxiety and her crew have no clue that’s the true reason and join hoping to disprove aliens are real most don’t care but fear has his suspicions on them.
Anxiety’s alien design.

Poor Number 2, being stuck on a disintegrating planet with a maniac that oscillates between wanting to control your every action and begging you to hold him tighter.
Raw lines under the cut because I thought they looked cool.

Outerphobia
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
**Outerphobia: The Fear of Aliens**
*Definition:*
Outerphobia is the intense and irrational fear of extraterrestrial beings or alien life forms. Individuals suffering from outerphobia experience overwhelming anxiety, dread, and panic at the thought, sight, or even mention of aliens. This fear may extend to anything related to outer space, such as space exploration, UFO sightings, or the idea of contact with alien civilizations.
*Symptoms:*
- **Anxiety or Panic Attacks:** Heart racing, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, and a sense of impending doom.
- **Avoidance Behaviors:** Avoiding discussions, movies, or media involving aliens, space travel, or extraterrestrial life.
- **Nightmares and Intrusive Thoughts:** Disturbing dreams or recurring thoughts about alien abductions or alien invasions.
- **Hypervigilance:** An increased sense of alertness to anything related to space, such as stars, space-themed objects, or UFO reports.
- **Physical Symptoms:** Nausea, headaches, or even trembling when confronted with any form of alien imagery or related discussions.
*Causes:*
The origins of outerphobia could be linked to a variety of factors:
- **Media Exposure:** Sci-fi movies, books, or news reports on UFO sightings may trigger or reinforce the fear.
- **Cultural Influence:** The portrayal of aliens in popular culture, especially in horror genres (e.g., *The X-Files*, *Alien*, *Signs*), may contribute to an exaggerated fear response.
- **Personal Trauma:** A past experience or a traumatic event related to space, aliens, or the unknown could potentially lead to the development of this phobia.
- **Fear of the Unknown:** A deep-seated fear of the unknown and what may exist beyond Earth could manifest as outerphobia.
*Treatment:*
- **Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):** Addressing irrational thoughts about aliens and gradually exposing individuals to alien-related stimuli in a controlled, therapeutic setting to reduce anxiety.
- **Exposure Therapy:** Gradual exposure to the idea of aliens or space travel through controlled visualizations or simulations to desensitize the fear.
- **Relaxation Techniques:** Teaching breathing exercises, meditation, or mindfulness to help manage panic attacks and anxiety associated with the phobia.

Ever since he was a kid, the Arroyos have always been able to read Malcolm. He didn't realize that as he got older, the family that he'd somehow found himself in could do the same.
