Came home to a spider, tried to squish it. Both didn't succeed in the squishing and almost threw up and cried. Doing great, thanks for asking

#need a designated spider squisher pls #arachnophobia sucks balls

Hi random question but do you like bugs? :3

thats, complicated bc for a majority of them the answer is No on account of having entomophobia BUT i have a favorite moth (even tho im scared of them irl) & ive got a soft spot for roly-polys ! i also like butterflies & lightning bugs at a distance, & lady bugs remind me of my sister :)

i think they can be interesting to learn abt too so i guess my answer would be: i like some of them, in theory, but many of them are very scary 2 me 😔

#i also have arachnophobia so yknow #the fear of many legged creatures is built into me ig #it sucks bc flies buzzing rlly upsets me & summer is Fly Nightmare Time in our house bc no one ever closes the door!!!!!! #anywsy. my fav moth is the atlas moth which is funny bc if i saw one flying around in person i would probably cry bc theyre Huge #ask :) #captain of f/os ⛵

Felt the urge to do one of these color-picked pride flags again. Featuring a character from my new video game fixation

Yeah

#pride flag edit #nonbinary #cult of the lamb #cotl #shamura #cotl shamura #someone had to do it #nonbiney spidey #if any of my followers need me to tag spiders btw let me know #this game probably sucks for people with arachnophobia

spider in room but everyone else is asleep so no one can help me :/ panic time i guess lol

#having scary things in my room is fun because i get to play the game of “which phobia am i MORE scared of: being around lifelong phobia of #mine OR the phobia of leaving my room and risking Being Perceived” #right now it’s the second one :/ which is pretty funny given that every else is fucking ASLEEP so there’s your proof that phobias can be #SUPER irrational lmao #but also my arachnophobia isn’t the worst like I’ll avoid places where spiders were near recently but i can still sometimes watch videos of #them sooo. yay for me lol? this isn’t true for other bugs (yes ik spiders aren’t bugs but my phobias don’t) which sucks for me because the #second most scary one is viewed as beautiful by most people and so many people love them. noooooo thank you. number one most scary aren’t #talked about but idk why they’re super common. and terrifying and OUT TO FUCKING GET ME. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS RUN *AT* ME #bugs love me. if i think about their existence too much i will have a panic attack. this is not a good relationship. #except for silk moths specifically. Ive never seen one irl and are still a little scared but i have a dnd character who loves them so same #ALSO BEES. I love bees. Not scared at all beyond like a normal reasonable “don’t fuck with them” kinda thing. bees are great i love bees #most of the stingy ones I’m ok with individually actually. i dislike the massive loud swarms of them but on their own they’re cute lol #(also to the bug and/or spider lovers i am not a kill bugs kinda person if this is worded weirdly that is because I’m having a fucking pani #attack please be nice)

Fuzzball dug a hole, so I'm taking that as a sign he's happy. Not that I care. 😝 I made an indentation under the hide. Did he use it? Of course not. Ungrateful brat dug in front of the hide and filled in the indent. 🙄 Excuse me for trying to be nice.

Sprinkles has been on top of his hide for 4 days. For a while, he had one foot on the wall, and I wasn't sure if he was settling in or not. But he seems relaxed, no stress curl, and a few times I've caught him being pretty darn sploot-y. He still hates the substrate apparently... Or just really likes his perch.

I read him all of the well wishes. He was so appreciative, he was speechless. 🥰

Think I'm gonna try to feed them in a day or three. 👩‍🍳 Hope they like mealworms.

#tarantula #tarantulas #arachnophobia #sprinkles on his cupcake - the pun is complete #why do i talk about the curly hair like im his evil stepmother #idk it just feels right lol #why do i use he/him 99% of the time for both of them when most ppl use she/her #idk but maybe bc everyone wants a female and im gonna love them regardless so i dont have an expectation to project #idk if fuzzball is his permenant name but i cant keep calling him 'the other one' #also i know the pics thru the side suck i tried to color adjust and whatnot #even if he wont eat ill try to get some good pics while the lid is off #his abdomen is the same size as his carapace so if hes not hungry thats ok #but id love it if they both ate esp if i can get video

today I found out muffet died, so here’s a memorial post for her. I had her for 5 years. she was a great first tarantula.

#shroom.txt #tarantulas #arachnophobia #everything just happens all the time huh #she might have actually been male so she would have hit her max lifespan about now #still sucks though

I finally managed to finish my spidersona. All it took was lots of alcohol

#my art #art #fanart #original character #spidersona #spider man #whatever #im actually impressed #not excited for the state i will be in tommorow #the name and description suck #but i dont really care at this point #also i really like the green and orange contrast #and ny hair is shorter irl #proxi notice #tags be upon ye #i have no idea what the backstory should be #i can say tho that having a secret spider indentity whilst having arachnophobia puts you out of the list

Sometimes I go into spirals of feeling sorry for maligned animals:

"Snakes and spiders are really cute and shy. They didn't choose the toxic life, venom and hiding were their protections against the persecution. Anyway, they mostly only attack when being stepped on. Wouldn't you?"

"Sharks can't help that they're big, ancient, and teethy. Curiosity is their flaw and they're too stuck in their ways to change now. Why are you in the sea, monkey? You come into their house..."

"500 years ago rats carried plague and they've never been able to shake the bad PR. But rats are sweet cuddlers that giggle when being tickled, humans just don't like successful scavengers because it hits too close to home. Speaking of which..."

"Vultures are so cool! So metal! They have an iron stomach protecting them from death. They're as clever and affectionate as any other Raptor but without as much of a kill count (paradoxically, considering they have the worst reputation). Some species dye their feathers red and nobody knows why (my hypothesis is they want to look pretty)!"

Do you have an animal you'd like to see absolved of their sins?

#tw arachnophobia #tw snakes #i respect that some people have phobias so i tag #anyway i think it's probably because I come from a country with unique and misunderstand fauna #or I just like animals #you know what deserves your ire? #mosquitoes #they suck

Just woke up from the most horrific nightmare I’ve ever had in my life and it’s safe to say I’m never sleeping again

#the worst part it was an arachnophobia dream and it took place in my fucking room #i keep looking behind me out of paranoia because if that ever happened in real life i would jump out my fucking window #head first no hesitation #and it sucks because i don’t want to be scared by spiders #i’m sure that dream could have been super cute and fun for somebody else #but for me i want to die now #uuuughh i keep hearing the fucking sounds it was making #real silly ass fucking noises that would be so fun for somebody else but holy shit not me #i feel physically sick #but yaaaay i’m seeing mutant mayhem in a few hours #and there are birds outside my window how lovely is that #buddy’s buzzing #vent #arachnophobia tw #nightmare

[evanatsuhi]

can one of my bug lover mutuals come over and get this spider out of my kitchen.

#arachnophobia sucks when you live alone 😭😭😭😭if i see a spider in a room i refuse to go in there until i know its gone #.txt

[manchasama]

Well that is delightful.  Get home late, house is hot as hell, take a shower, go to room to get dressed, spot massive spider, attempt not to freak out, vacuum it up.  Now I don’t want to be in my bedroom ever again ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa......

#whine whine whine #arachnophobia sucks folks #you can tell yourself all you want how fine it is #or how harmless they are #phobias mean you feel fright tho and that sucks #lies on couch maybe ill just sleep here #if my paranoia lets me

[simptasia]

*referring to your tags* if it helps some spiders hunt in packs which is awful

i brought this on myself

Bad. Bad Bad Bad

#i have the word spiders blocked so i got this message and it was blacklisted #like ''this contains the word spiders'' and i tensed up #i have really really bad arachnophobia #one time my friend and i got into a convo about spiders and the mental images were fucking me up #so bad that we had to stop. and i had to force myself to imagine sucking david dast's dick to calm down #true story. i wasn't joking then and i'm not joking now #annnnyways

[wren-kitchens]

rant ab spider apologists (yes im calling them that)

slightly related to my last post but i absolutely hate it when people say to me some shit like ‘oh spiders are more scared of you than you are of them’ or ‘spiders eat flies so you dont have to deal with them!’ because i know but that doesnt mean youve stopped me from having an autistic meltdown + panic attack combo when i see one near me (im not even exaggerating i have very bad arachnophobia)

like bestie i am fully aware of the redeeming traits of spiders and i have watched enough david attenborough documentaries to know that if you erase a species then the food chain will fuck up and there will be too many of the prey of the species meaning more fuckery with other shit and it continues, but that doesnt mean i want them to be anywhere near me because i would rather be squished in a tissue and flushed down the toilet as well as the hellspawn

anyway, in summary i KNOW that spiders arent gonna kill me but i also know that i will probably do it myself if im near one for too long thank you for coming for my ted talk

#also fun fact if you take a house spider outside it will die a slow and painful death because it cant cope with outside #i find it funny when people say they do it cause they wanna make sure the spider lives when its more likely to die but in a worse way lmao #spiders suck #spiders #arachnophobia #arachnophobic

[creppersfunpalooza]

i want to like bugs so so much but god they’re scary….. a giant mosquito thing just flew at me and i was so close to just sobbing man

#i also have severe arachnophobia which sucks cuz i think spiders are so neat #but whenever i see them my instincts go into fucking overdrive it’s crazy #crep lore #weirdly enough i’m totally fine w tarantulas? #like they’re just. silly guys. #and like smaller bugs i guess. but mosquitos in particular bother me #fine with wasps and bees. mostly #it’s a very weird selection of bugs i am fine with and bugs i will sob over

Spring has officially sprung.

For now, the war between my bed and spiders has begun.

Fuck this shit.
