#gelotophobia

[skaldish]

In case no one’s told you this yet: Academics is not a process of “memorizing shit,” it’s about curiosity and exploration and fuck around, find out.

“Memorizing shit” is not even effective education.

It is, however, very effective at getting you used to others owning your time and attention for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

[jacobtheeevee]

6 and 7 for Kahula

Whats their greatest fear?

Gelotophobia (fear of getting laughed at) and Atychiphobia (fear of failure)

How easy is it to make them cry?

In the past, probably kind of easily, but since going through everything in Reborn, not super easily, it’s easier to make her mad than sad. Just don’t boo her performances…

A bit of random facts about Ruined Dreamtale

-Nightmare's tentacle is capable of 'retracting' to some extent, by hiding it curled up in his ribcage.

-With only one wing, Dream can do quite a lot of things, except for flying, though not as much as he could if he knew how to properly care for his wing.

-The two largely rely on scavenging to find themselves food, picking berries and things that they have recognized as safe.

-The multiverse is in shambles, with a large amount of the balance of negativity and positivity thrown out of proportion. A large part of the multiverse is simply emotionless.

-Dream and Nightmare both possess a very faint aura. Nightmare emits a melancholy feeling, while Dream's is gaiety.

-Dream's fears are: Astraphobia, Strigiformophobia, Acrophobia, and Pyrophobia.

-Nightmare's fears are: Aquaphobia, Autophobia, Gelotophobia, Phobophobia, and Cynophobia.

-The village near the tree of feelings has become somewhat of a ghost town after some events. Though neither of the brothers know, as far as they know they've only been gone a few months. Not as many years as it had been.

[mintlysweet-tea]

Here's my art summary for this year! I think only one of the arts has been actually posted here, but as for the rest I will give some context under the cut.

January: It's Sybil from CFS/IR's Call of Cthulhu: Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign, but with a pair of hummingbird wings. Maybe I'll post the full image here?

February: You know those let's make an OC template things? Rose, or fully Rose Through The Road, was created from that template with help from others on Discord. They are an agender Tabaxi wearing a jumpsuit, sporting short braids and lavender studs. Has a necklace of fireballs, "Never takes responsibility for their actions.", has a rock collection and gelotophobia.

March: Small meme of @/chara-universe D&D character Ophilane with a very big trition :D

April: A mockup dating sim screencap of my oc LILE3 (pronounced Lily) Full quote is: "Come with me~ if you make it through the night. Babe sing by my side...hope you'll keep up ♡"

May: Rose and Fennel chilling a train ride while listening to music. Wanted to really push the shadows and lighting in this since I usually cell-shade. It's one of my favorite pieces in this list!

June: So during this time I hurt my hands...so the best I could do was a meme of these two and the only thing I could do. I love the contrast between the very nice shaded image in May of them and immediately after the feral energy of the one in June. Also if you can guess what anime is this meme's template if from you can get a free doodle, bonus points if you can get the exact episode.

July: Art of @/bubblytarts character Luther from her show Realm Jumpers. This was from a sheet of other people's ocs and expression practice.

August: More LILE3! This time in a fancy anime transformation!

September: Various images of Fennel being picked up and handled by my other characters. In this one she was sleeping in Kohinoka's horns while he was working.

October: :)

November: Art of @/loyalwolf6153 villian in her D&D campaign Soul Seekers named Vorigan.

December: Annddd finally a redesign of one of my first ocs Shia Zaltemer, who is D&D based and an Aasimar Paladin. First ref of her was very very old and was in an older art style and my style has grown since then.

Overall I'm glad my art has grown since I started doing digital art! I still want to work on doing more dynamic posing and on different body types, but my lines are strong and I'm personally proud of my character designs! I hope that next year I can try to digital paint, painting scares me.

[frozendeity17]

Questioning, Part 2: 26-50

If we're counting fanfiction as books, Sunrise in Exile by Ragdoll. It's MCU fanfic, so if that doesn't float your boat, you have been warned, but I find it good daydreaming material. Frankly, I love their portrayal of FRIDAY. If we're not, then "S." by Doug Dorst and J. J. Abrams. It's a book within a book, with two people trading the fictional library book "Ship of Theseus" and writing out their story in the margins.

@becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys. Elanor's political commentary is both absurdly funny and on-point and she covers several other important topics, such as climate change and celtophobia. Side note, notice how Grammarly tried to autocorrect celtophobia to xenophobia and "gelotophobia", which google tells me is a fear of being laughed at.

Family stuff's private, sorry.

Heights. Actually, it's less heights, and more falling. I can be on top of tall things as much as I want, but the second I approach an edge, my legs start to go shaky and I can't. I can't even step on some high balconies.

Antidisestablishmentarianism. I have no clue what it means, the rhythm of it is just nice.

"The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides, "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and "The Bullet That Missed" by Richard Osman. If I get any others, I've heard that "Cain's Jawbone" and "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" are both very good.

The Owl House or Steven Universe. Yes, I know the latter's everything, especially the ending, was problematic, but the songs are chill and nostalgic, and I can enjoy things while also recognizing that they're not good.

Self-ID shit is always the hardest, I don't fuckin know. I do reblog some fan shit, but not that much.

I don't really know. I've always just kinda done my own thing.

If I had to pick, probably "The Bachelor" or something like that. Good for fatigue nights, where you don't have the mental strength to watch anything more intellectually stimulating, (if even that) but not much else.

Don't have one. Never been one for superstition. if I had to pick, though, 17 feels right.

Hydrangeas. We have a bush in the front garden, and it's always so pretty in the summer. Tulips are very beautiful too, and there are these tiny purple flowers that grow in my neighbor's garden that always pop up right around the start of spring.

Opal's gorgeous, as well as peacock ore.

I'm going for a full sunrise ombre, from dark blue at the top to yellow at the bottom.

I am *not*. Changing or skipping over history is a recipe for disaster - for the universe for the former, and for me for the latter. I refuse to be the one to deal with such nonsense.

A good steak with peppercorn sauce, and creamy mashed potatoes with beef gravy.

Either Brownie a la Mode, Cookie Dough, or Dulce de Leche. No, I will not be deciding.

Margaret Thatcher. Gonna shove her face in some mashed potatoes and peas.

7-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap, Mouthwash, Toothpaste, Car Coolant, Hair-Gel. Hey, it covers all of the basics, even if it's not the best in the market for any of them.

When I'm camping, especially in the summer, the very early morning, just after the sun rises. Fog hangs over the area where I camp like a cloud at that time, and it's stunningly beautiful yet terrifyingly eerie. Anytime else, the afternoon. Early enough to not be exhausted and a good time to get shit done, but it doesn't have the lazy, chill vibes morning does.

I do not, but thank you. So are you, :).

I've wanted to learn Irish Gaelic for a long while now, but unfortunately, my audial processing is bad enough in English, so that might be a while in the making. Spanish, French, or Mandarin all seem like they'd be very useful to learn.

Strawberries are awesome, but I'll never turn down a good apple, and blueberry muffins in particular are great.

The characters from The Owl House. ITts going to be amazing, yet incredibly chaotic. I love it already.

Aww, thank u boo :D. ILY2.

My darling,

(NHS worker, here)

Gelotophobia is a fear of being laughed at/mocked, the worry about what other people think, or being judged negatively by others. This is often related to moderate-severe social anxiety, and is commonly seen in Autism in conjunction with other symptoms

(You are valid, and smart, and awesome, just by the way.)

💍

Yeah, sounds like me. Having social anxiety as an adult after being one of the loudest and most active kids in school is just ... unexpected I guess? I mean I have general anxiety I think, it flares up every now and then. Haven't had an episode in a while, guess it was time 😅

Didn't know you were in NHS! Hope it's not too hectic over there with covid making yet another comeback (not that it ever went anywhere!) Hope you are staying as safe as you can 💙

Thanks for lovely words 🥰

[jacobtheeevee]

✨🍕💀 kahula?

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

Mainly looked up names that meant dancing or whatever and Kahula stuck

Cotton candy! She also loves most other candy, popcorn, soft pretzels, bread, and pasta.

National Let's Laugh Day

Calling all gigglers, cacklers, chortlers, and belly laughers, this is the day you’ve been waiting for. National Let’s Laugh Day is a 24-hour joke-fest on March 19 where we celebrate the uniting force of laughter. Brought to you this year by Laffy Taffy — the candy that has been bringing you and your family little bites of joy with jokes on every wrapper since 1971 — Let’s Laugh Day is a chance to have a chuckle with the ones you love (rubber chicken not required).

When is National Let's Laugh Day 2023?

Tickle your funny bone every year on National Let’s Laugh Day on March 19.

History of National Let's Laugh Day

Every year, on National Let’s Laugh Day, we are reminded to keep things light and pep things up with a little humor. If you have been in the doldrums for a while now, or haven’t been feeling too good, then you need to laugh the worries away and take it easy. Laughter is, after all, the best medicine, and it is just what the doctor prescribed for March 19!

Jokes have long been the best way to provide comic relief. The world’s oldest joke can be traced back to 1900 B.C. Laughter can also be contagious. This is why laugh tracks were added to television shows to cue when the audience is supposed to laugh and to indicate when a comedic scene happens. The first American television show to use a laugh track was in 1950, in “The Hank McCune Show.”  

Where frowns cause wrinkles, laughing creates adorable crinkles that are good for the muscles. ‘Laughter yoga’ is now quite a popular activity, in which muscles of the face, abdomen, and lungs are engaged using laughter as the core exercise. Laughter also releases endorphins and lowers the stress hormone, cortisol, in the body.

National Let's Laugh Day timeline

446 B.C. Aristophanes is Born

Aristophanes' brand of comedy includes political satire and innuendo that would make Judd Apatow blush.

1930s — 1940s The Art of Standup Comedy Takes Off

Standup becomes a regular form of entertainment in the Borscht Belt: a chain of summer resort towns in the Catskill Mountains of the Hudson Valley in New York.

1950s The Laugh Track is Invented

Charles Douglass, a sound engineer, invents the laugh track, which becomes a standard in mainstream television.

1971 Laffy Taffy is Created

Originally Beich's Caramels, these fun and fruity confections are renamed Laffy Taffy and sold under the Wonka brand, featuring a joke on the wrapper and making it one of the funniest candies in the world.

Traditions

The holiday is still quite new, so there aren’t many traditions. National Let’s Laugh Day is all about whatever makes us laugh. Whether it is corny jokes, memes, comedy skits, or T.V. shows, the idea is to laugh it up and make others laugh too!

By The Numbers

50 — the number of calories burned by 15 minutes of laughing.

30 — the number of times more likely it is for a person to laugh in a group than alone.

300 — the number of times babies laugh in a day.

19th Century — the time period when Charles Darwin noted tickling and laughing as a form of bonding.

15% — the percentage of laughter that result from jokes.

5-6 — the ages at which we laugh the most.

13% — the percentage of the population that has gelotophobia — the fear of laughter.

1962 — the year when a laughter pandemic broke out in Tanzania.

National Let's Laugh Day Activities

Grab some Laffy Taffy

Go to a comedy club

Watch some of the best comedies of all time

With a joke on every wrapper, Laffy Taffy has more jokes than a comedy show. Pick up a bag and keep your family (and yourself) in stitches for hours.

Like plumbing or dental work, comedy can often be thoroughly enjoyed coming from a professional. But that doesn't mean you should avoid open mic nights. Even a bad joke can be funny.

Hop on that streaming service and take a deep dive down comedy lane. With thousands of titles to choose from, there's a comedy for everyone. Even some of the older ones hold up.

5 Funny Facts About Laughter

Because there is no element of surprise, your brain anticipates the tickling and therefore, you don’t feel ticklish when you tickle yourself.

Why We Love National Let's Laugh Day

Do you even know anyone who DOESN’T laugh?

Laughter is the best medicine

There are so many types of laughter

77% of Americans think they are funny, and 96% of Americans like to make other people laugh. We all like to laugh, at ourselves, and at each other. 55% of Americans even laugh when they are alone.

Studies have shown that laugher is a stress reliever and a whopping 95% of Americans agree, saying it relieves their stress. The unique brain chemistry that comes from laughter can also boost your immune system.

There are almost as many types of laughter as there are things to laugh at. At 30%, the most common laugh in the U.S. is the giggle. But at National Today, we're howlers all the way.

Omori fear move: Gelotophobia (Tantalize)

Hahaha! Loot at this loser! Being a punching bag to his move set! And now his bestie friend, Bun Bunny, is mocking him!

For people who can’t read the pic: Omori targets the enemy, creating hypnosis that the affected foe sees and feels everyone, including their allies, mocking them. Changes the emotional state to sad/enraged, and they may lose their turn. There's a likelihood that they will leave the fight.
