#spider mention

People who have cat phobias must be the bravest motherfuckers out there cause these hairy little bastards are everywhere. I have a needle phobia but people seem to tag that usually, but cats?? They're the true natural species of the internet. Imagine seeing 40 huge spindly spiders in a row every single time you log on. If you have a cat phobia or a cat aversion and you're out here in the trenches surviving and thriving I salute you

jon: a week later he was found dead in his new flat covered in spiders and also choked on spiderwebs. but im sure there is a perfectly rational explanation. im glad hes dead.

Fun fact, one of my hardcore boundaries with my deities is not to send me spiders. I'm terrified of them. My brain perceives a spider in the vicinity as a threat to my life, fight or flight kicks in, I will probably cry, the whole nine yards. I don't care how associated they are with spiders, I feel unsafe around spiders.

I saw that Loki, at least to enough people to worry me, is associated with spiders. IMMEDIATELY I was on guard. Loki was very insistent that he would NEVER, the goal is never to make me feel unsafe.

Cue two nights after Loki's first appearance to me, I have a dream in which the main "plot" is a spider. It was barely even a nightmare, I wasn't SCARED it was just a pain in the ass. I remember this dream halfway through the day, start laughing because Loki found a loophole, and get a very distinct "see? Your fears can't hurt you. They can even be funny."

I can't even be mad, because that was smart. And yes, very funny.

Cut to last night; my dream is general messy weird dream shit, but what sticks out is a spider that's completely irrelevant. out of place. On a segment of "wall" that shouldn't even be there, in the middle of a big room, and it interrupts the "scene" completely. Instead of freaking out I grab the arm of my friend and say "spider," and just move us away and leave it be. Progress. Not a real spider, I'd still cry if a real one was involved, but undeniable progress in my subconscious.

Loki is very pleased with himself. I am entertained.

A (unironically) wonderful conversation I had with my mum:

Mum: hey don't open the kitchen window any time soon, there's two spiders outside and one of them's an albino spider so there's no way you'd see it

Me: Are they daddy-long-legs?

Mum: ...well, they're outside

Me: oh, yeah they're probably some freaky garden spider or something

Mum: yeah and the white one is sitting next to the windowsill, the other's off to the side

I don't know, there's something delightful about family and friends taking the time to find me and warn me about little dangers I wouldn't be able to see. My best friend tells me about curbs a few feet in advance. My mum warns me if there's gum or a spilled drink on the sidewalk so my cane tip won't get sticky and gross. If it rains my mum helps me avoid accidentally stepping on the worms that climb onto the sidewalk. If there's a cobweb in the corner or on the ceiling she offers to clean it.

I've had strangers warn me about branches on the sidewalk after storms or move obstacles out of my path. One woman helped me plan a detour because the campus quad was blocked off.

There's also the cuter little moments, like someone telling me about the seasonal special when we walk into a restaurant or cafe, or describing a dog or cat on the street.

My best friend sometimes tries to describe memes to sighted people only for them to go 'why can't you just show me the meme???' and he's like, 'oh, I forget not everyone's blind'

Anyway, I love the people in my life, and I love humanity in general

How high of a fever does Virgil have in teoba?

Also I that our immune system decided that fevers are reasonable disease responses. Fevers are a game of chicken between you and the virus and the body is not backing down even if it kills them.

he has a temp of 103° Fahrenheit ! not quite brain-melting for humans, but Definitely more than many aliens could survive for long

fevers really are so funny. the human body seeing virus cells and shrieking KILL IT KILL IT while cranking the temp up, like an arachnophobe seeing a spider and deciding the only solution is to burn their house down TwT

How to get rid of a spider:

First thing to do: Grab a cup and newspaper.

Second thing: Put the cup on top of the spider

Third thing: Slide the newspaper under the spider.

Fourth thing: Put it in your fireplace

Fifth thing: Light the newspaper on fire with the cup and spider still on top of it.

And last

Sixth thing: Erase all evidence of the crime

I love making my OCs not afraid of the stuff I'm deeply afraid of.

Like Meladee will let spiders crawl all over her.

You go girl. You're so much braver than me.

simpsons joke..... Emmy’s pride takes a back seat when spiders are afoot. Even if this gives ammunition to a ten year old to make fun of her - at LEAST.... she did not have to get near that... eugh... Thing.
