#fear feeding

[askspookyfox]

I get a lot of various questions about how I feed over the years, so I'mma try my best to explain how I function as a fox of fear. This is probably the most I've ever talked on this blog and there's still more to be explained... lD; So, sit tight for more "learning time with Spook" over the course of the week and if y'all still don't understand after this, then... I dunno man, I can't help you. I never said that I'm a good teacher lmao.

some of the favorites for us: haunted houses, scary movies in the theater in person, streamers who like to psychologically torment themselves, competition stuff sometimes if the people are taking it overserious. good luck feasting

Thank you :]

Someone else suggested "ambient feeding" which somehow I did not come to the conclusion of before, so these are good suggestions that can go along with that! It is very appreciated :]

If you don’t mind could you give a small rundown on how worshiping the fears works for you? I just found your blog and I think that’s really fascinating and I’m interested to hear about it

Hey there!! Thank you so much for asking!

For me, worshipping The Stranger is very similar to worshipping any other god! Lighting candles, leaving offerings, all the stuff you’d expect! Though there are also the aspects of “feeding”, or doing things that relate to the fears in general. A lot of that comes from facing things that scare me, like Mannequins and doppelgänger horror, and learning to accept and work with that fear rather than against it!

I’m still fighting with The Lonely (it’s very easy to fall into isolation feeding), but I know one day I’ll be able to feed the lonely in a way that’s healthy!

I hope that helps a little! If you have some more questions, do feel free to ask!

Just so we're clear, I'm definitely not saying that your fears aren't valid- whatever it is that you're worried about, you should feel it, learn healthy ways to process it, and really not be concerned about how it tastes to me. I've mentioned it before many times on this blog, I'm not the guy to go to for feelsy stuff... after all, I practically exploit feelings for selfish gains. 😶 All in all, I think that covers everything about how I feed. Hope the week's been educational for y'all but if there's something I didn't touch on that you're curious about, lemme know. Hm, all that talking got me pretty hungry... Time to find my next victim! 😈

It's always a pleasant surprise when I get those kind of people who gets their kicks from being scared, like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag! But yes, I know this all sounds confusing because pleasurable fear can be... quite honestly a paradox but humans experiences it all the time! Like the rush of riding a rollercoaster or pulling off a dangerous but sick trick on a skateboard. It doesn't help that all these intense reactions comes from similar places in your brain, so there are specific guidelines that needs to happen in order to nourish me. Sheesh, talking about this is making me sound like I'm a picky eater.

I meant it when I said that I can conjure anything. If you fear it, I can make it happen for you. But... man, thalassophobia is a FUN one every time!

Is there any fear that tastes like a Snickers? If so, what flavour?

I've talked about different types of fear that comes with it's own generalized flavor but I know it's all still pretty vague. Much like the food you eat, there can be a mix of emotions in a person's fear that might make it easier to describe what I'm tasting. For example, people getting an excited rush while being scared is like eating something sweet in a syrup form. That might taste like melted caramel or maybe even pancake syrup such as strawberry syrup or maple syrup. It really depends on the victim. However, the flavors does not have complexity in layers- think simple and deconstructed. So, in your example, the candy bar is a combination of chocolate, caramel, nougat, and nuts- which means, unfortunately, there really isn't fear that I can spook to get the energy taste exactly like a Snickers. Why do you think I still eat mortal foods even though I don't need them to live? Y'all got some good shit! 👌
