#bug phobia

[nomiepop]

Dennis who has sever entomophobia due to being locked outside a lot as a kid he consequently had fleas and lice pretty frequently and he is terrified of daddy long legs (they gather in the corners of the barns in massive fucking balls it’s literally terrifying)

anyways that and him having to deal with a patient who has lice or fleas at the hospital and when he gets home (to rabbit’s house, robby and jack are both waiting there) he has to spend like the whole evening decontaminating and checking himself for bugs and making sure neither of his partners have bugs either, and just them needing to reassure him that there were no bugs, and that they’d all be okay.

Hi weird question if Raphael is afraid of bugs does that mean he's afraid of butterflies 🦋 I saw a butterfly and thought of this question

(Finally getting to answering asks— yay!)

I’ll use this example of little SIW Raphael to answer your question. Long story short—

no…

… But also yes. 🤣 To me— Raph’s fine with bugs as long as they’re unmoving. But as soon as one starts flying? ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Post: Bug phobias shouldn’t be so normalized that hatred and fear of bugs becomes the complete norm and the idea that an entire part of the ecosystem should be killed is considered a normal and correct opinion to have.

people who can’t read: why is this post blaming ME SPECIFICALLY for KILLING ALL BUGS EVER. How DARE you say this to ME. SPECIFICALLY. I cannot HELP my bug phobia, so this post that says my IRRATIONAL FEAR SHOULDNT BECOME THE NORM OF SOCIETY is ATTACKING ME.

THIS POST WAS MADE BY SOMEONE WITH SUCH A BAD PHOBIA OF INSECTS THEY HAVE HAD ACTUAL PANIC ATTACKS OVER SEEING AN ANT OUTSIDE. OUR IRRATIONAL FEAR SHOULD NOT BE THE NORM OF SOCIETY. NO ONE IS BLAMING YOU SPECIFICALLY.

not much of a ranter in general i much prefer to post art but oh my god if this reaches like anyone at all, does anyone else have an extreme phobia of caterpillars like oh my god I have not seen anything on this earth that parallels this feeling and I'm a horror junkie. Is this how arachnaphobes feel because wowwww I acc cannot look at them I'd genuinely have a fucking meltdown if I saw one in real life. I simultaneously crave drawing them for my sona because, in theory, the concept of them seems cute but FUCKKKK I cant do it it's actually so incredibly horrifying. I dont have this problem with ANY other bug. I like a good handful of bugs, beetles are my favorite creatures. For the record grubs do not bother me in the slightest. I'd genuinely rather watch an uncensored surgery close up then a video of a caterpillar crawling on camera they are EVIL LITTLE HAIRY SPINY FAT FUCKS worst thing to exist EVER. Imo I think for different reasons different caterpillars ARE horrifying but I think Moth caterpillars are usually more scary to me. Nothing except a little baby kitty should be THAT hairy fucking EW. Of course the barbed ones are AWFUL as well its just the moth caterpillars are (for me) like 5.89% of the time more egregious looking

maybe this is a super common thing and I'm surrounded by bug nerd outliers but I need to find others with this fear 🙏 I swear I only see people shitting themselves over spiders like hello guys the real enemy is RIGHT there.... /hj

can we please normalize adding a tw bugs tag PLEASE?? OŔ EVEB JUST THE BUG TAG???I HAVE THEM BLOCKED FOR A RUCKING REASON I DONT WANT TO SEE BUGS. No idc I'm "over reacrong" and "being sensitive" it's common fucking sense to add warning and I feel a warning for bugs is pretty fair when it's one of the biggest phobias!! I go on tumbkr to escape from my issues nit have a fucking panic attack you assholes!! I'm so sick of it tag your posts correctly or ill just block who ever posts bugs and spiders with no proper tagging THE TAG EXISTS DIR A FUCKING RWASON YOU SHITASSES.

I have this weird thing where I think bugs are cool but if one is near me I freak out. I have startled multiple people with how quick I am to successfully kill house flies and spiders and the like.

Here's the thing. I see a bug through however many inches of glass, or a mega cool one like I saw earlier on Tumblr? Fuck yeah!! That's a Creature! Look at all those weird bits and features!!

For example, several museums have those honey beehives behind glass that have a tube leading outside, so you can see the hundreds of bees working. That shit is cool af!! I loved that!

It has the potential to Touch Me?? No. There has been screaming involved. More if it actually does touch me. I know it is an irrational fear, I have many of those, but this is one of the worst, and it affects several other aspects of my life.

Let me look at cool bugs in peace, brain!!
