JUST FUN FACT ABOUT ME AND SMALL RANT UNDER THE CUT
so fun fact about me: I have globophobia, which is the phobia of balloons!
now, anyone who has seen any of my posts probably knows I absolutely adore Rui!
“But Kitt, he does balloon art! How are you mentally stable?” I hear you ask? I’m not! That’s how!
but today. This reached new heights. Insert shocked crowd noises here.
from the Miku day rewards, I got my Rui WO card to Mastery 2, unlocking the 3D MV cut!
If you know what the cut entails, you know where this is going.
Look, I love you Rui… but that jumpscared me. I really could’ve used a warning - I did try to research what the cuts looked like, but I found absolutely nothing online. So, I went in, and hoped for the best!
I came out… not the best! Whilst phobias are of course different for everyone, I personally am kinda ok-ish when it’s on a screen, just because I can immediately turn off the image or video if I feel overwhelmed. THANKFULLY there were no sound effects - the main trigger for me, personally - but still. It’s still painful for me to look at one of my favourite characters and see them with my phobia. Is it stupid? Yeah, probably. It’s a part of his character - and I wouldn’t change that. I just… wish that they could’ve done something different for Rui’s 3D MV cut.
(Also since I’m now out about this I will not hesitate to block anyone rude about ANY phobias - not just my own. Having one of the “weirder” ones has made me incredibly conscious of how horrible it can feel when someone calls a phobia “stupid” or “just trying to get attention”. It’s not funny, it’s not original, it just hurts.)
