AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Nothing really specific. The dark I guess because my imagination runs wild. But I can deal with it. Lately I've been watching too many horror games lps and the disturbing imagery sometimes keeps popping up in my mind which is kind of annoying. The thing I'm most scared of is getting scared I feel or having a nightmare. Dunno if that makes sense. Luckily I don't get real nightmares and I don't really get scared. Scary things get to me (pretty badly sometimes even) but they just make me cautious, alert and filled with adrenaline.

Being locked in somewhere where I can't get out and no one is around. Doesn't matter if well-lit or dark, building or room, being trapped and alone would set me at trying to break everything to get out.

Oh, I'm also afraid of big open spaces that look exactly the same in every direction, like the middle of the ocean or a big field. Really of just getting lost and not having landmarks to guide myself by.
I think I'm also scared of not being able to communicate with anyone, mostly because I've had those nightmares where something bad happens and I would run to tell someone, but I couldn't say anything when I got there. I don't even like when people don't text me back right away, so I guess I don't like losing touch with people I usually talk to. I tend to get really worried when I can't contact them for a while.

Then there's really normal fears like losing the people I love, being sad the rest of my life, etc etc whatever, but I don't think that's the type of fear you're asking about.

I don't know if I've ever really felt genuine fear. Sure for movies I get very queasy or uncomfortable. But not really fear. Nothing has really left enough of an impression to worry me after the event.

I guess 'anxious' is as close as I get.

the thing that scares me most is the thought of my mother dying

nothing else could fuck my life over more than that, least not before I'm old enough to handle it

I had a nightmare when Wry Bread was 8 that she died of cancer. I woke up crying hysterically and made her dad check if she was still breathing. Worst nightmare ever.

BTW, posted pics of Wry Bread on Tumblr under tiyedyed.

I don't think I have any unnatural, unhealthy fears. I'm somewhat scared of spiders (most likely residual memory; I was bitten by a brown recluse on two seperate occasions as a toddler), and I sometimes get wary of heights (as being 6'4 makes everything look higher up than it really is).

I don't know why but I'm terrified of being in a tight, enclosed space

Deformed images scare the shit out of me. The episode of Doctor who in the library with the Vashta Nerada had that lady whose face was messed up in the afterlife simulation? Couldn't watch it. Even Dali's clocks terrified me as a child. There was something wrong with them, they should never be able to look like that.
By contrast, I was fine with Junji Ito's cave mountain holes thing, because those people were physically deformed. It's only the images that get me.

Also it's not really fear, but I get hells of squicked out by any depiction of violence when a still-conscious person obviously has zero physical chance of survival. Drawing and quartering especially. I saw a snippet of Evangelion with a girl speared through her body on like fifty spikes and that guaranteed I'm never going to watch it.


Past those two, though, nothing really affects me at all. Those are the only fears I can ever remember having. Even mundane things like tornadoes or robbery or (unconscious) death don't scare me.

^ evangelion has a lot of really REALLY disturbing imagery...i guess it's good you didn't watch it lol. asuka getting speared is kinda one of the more tame scenes (also it's not in the original series, it's from a movie, but still.)


there's a community near me that has these little...totem things on some medians that say the name and have a picture of some kids on it and someone spray painted one of them to make the kids have zalgo faces and holy shit terrifying
