When your genuinely debilitating phobia is so rare it’s only used as a plot point in weird hazbin hotel Alastair x Reader fanfics

I’ve always thought deer are eerily beautiful creatures. Something about them seems so mystic and almost religious to me. Like if I were to turn away from them they would open five more eyes to look at me, only to close them again when I look back. I feel like they are a hivemind for old spirits, like they can see my soul.

okay where the FUCK do you live that you have giant bucks just standing literally at your window?? We have deer here but I have NEVER been that close to one (I also didnt know there was a fear of deers but honestly I kind of understand where you're coming from)

Colorado 😭I don’t know the numbers now but last year we had about 20 deer per square mile. We’re ridiculously outnumbered deer-to-people, and because people hand-feed them they’re WAY too friendly. Legit I’ve stepped out onto my front porch and I’ve been swarmed. They’ll walk up to you and get in your face wanting food. I’ve been in my damn car and had deer walk up and stick their faces in and I am Not Okay™ with any of this. 

Hell, I went to school in Alamosa (southern CO) and because it’s essentially a college town and so many people feed them there, they have absolutely no fear of people. They’ll follow you into the buildings, take things straight out of your hand, follow you around campus... literally. They are fearless, ruthless, fuzzy murder machines.
