Arachnophobia - Tumblr Posts

i was so brave a couple days ago. there was a baby huntsman spider in my room and i totally didn't fumble trying to catch it 3 entire times while trying to lure it in and out of a box all while screaming and going "whAT THE FUCJ WHAT" whenever it moved even a little bit. in which the reason i was trying to catch it was because it randomly appeared on a box right next to my bed and i knew if i didn't catch it i wouldn't be able to sleep. nope. totally wasn't genuinely frightened by a tiny itty bitty little guy that could literally fit in the palm of my hand 15 times. whaaaat me? scared by a tiny little spider??? psh no wayyyyy man no way

(after i did this i was slightly shaken up and extremely worried there was another much bigger one in my bed and i felt like there were bugs crawling on me until i fell asleep)

Prompt 104

Jaskier likes his flat. It's a nice one, all things considered, he believes. He just wishes there weren't so many spiders in the summer. He doesn't care if they're "harmless", if they're "nice", if they keep away other bugs, they are freaky, and he wants them burned with a flamethrower before they even look at him and his home. One frankly embarrassing morning, he screams at a particularly fast spider, and he apparently did so loud and bloodcurdling enough that it worried his neighbor. He opens the door to a very concerned man that CLEARLY descended from heaven itself to bless this earthly plane with just how hot he fucking is. "I'm Geralt, from the next few doors over, is everything alright?" "Y- yes, sorry, Didn't mean to worry anyone, so sorry, that's my bed- I mean bad- How long have you lived here? Have you always lived here? So close? I mean- There was a spider, see, and it was so fast, and it had so many disgusting little legs-" Super-sexy-neighbor-man - Geralt, Jaskier's mind helpfully catches him up - chuckles a bit and nods. "Alright. I'm glad you're okay." And then just fucking WALKS AWAY? Jaskier fans himself, and swoons against his door. And then he spots the demon under the couch and he screeches again. Whoops. "SORRY!" Geralt comes home one day to find that one neighbor of his in the hall, the door to his flat wide open. "Um- Are you alright?" "No!" The man shrieks at him, and points at his flat. "There's a giant arachnid looming over my kitchen! I need someone to kill it!" The colorful man pleads, and Geralt sighs and walks into the flat. Just as he thought. A common pest-eating spider that doesn't harm humans. He supposes they could be scary to someone afraid of bugs, though, and his neighbor seemed quite the fearful man. Geralt gently scoops up the spider, walks past his neighbor, and deposits it outside. He comes back and proudly announced the 'terrifying giant arachnid' has been removed from the premises. His neighbor squeals in delight and hugs him. "Oh thank you, Geralt! Thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! My knight in shining armor!" His neighbor blows him a kiss before walking back into his now-spiderless-flat and disappears as the door shuts. Geralt hopes he isn't evil for hoping there'll be another spider he can remove for the beautiful man sometime soon.

Yes, spiders are one of my worst fears tooo, maybe because I have arachnophobia😭 but oh well, I had to kill it T_T

Soo… I kinda forgot to sleep tonight… oops :D

Fucking just got bombed by like 8 mini-spiders hanging from invisible webs.

Mommy instinct kicked in to keep Isabella safe.

However, my walking boot was off and the jumping and trying to kill them almost caused me to pass out not just from the arachnophobia but the pain.

Currently trying to not throw up and now figure out what to do all night to avoid nightmares.

💜💜💜

At some point I will start asking for financial compensation for any spider removal my brother asks of me after 10pm. ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ

Everytime I think I've seen the biggest spider I will ever see, god sends a bigger spider.

The spider is more afraid of you than you are of it...😎 . #lego #legominifigures #legophotography #toyphotography #toypic_community #studbricks #brickcentral #legospider #legospiderguy #arachnophobia @lego @legogermany_official https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDhWU1rnBy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Daymare, the dream pokemon. Daymare has learned to move within the dreaming and waking world at the same time and so she's technically always asleep. While they hide from people in the waking world to avoid scaring them they are a common sight in dreams within the Ionia region. Daymare trainers are said to never have nightmares again.

I told you she'd get more interesting later! For her design I originally just wanted to introduce a dreamcatcher motif for her staff but after going through a small research rabbit hole I learned that the dreamcatcher's origin is an imitation of a spider web, thought to offer protection from the "spider grandmother" to children (and not explicitly in dreams but in real life as well). And I just couldn't resist making Lillia a spider, I'm sorry. It's just so fitting too, Lillia is shy and afraid of nightmares both in dreams and in the real world while her evolution takes that nightmare concept and turns it into something protective, she's a Daymare, even if she kind of looks like a nightmare at first glance. Here's a version without the stats: https://www.deviantart.com/rantingrando/art/Pokemonized-LoL-Daymare-990071841

Wth is this creature 😭🙏

I have been trying to get over my arachnophobia lately, but the fates are testing me to not bust out the flamethrower and send this thing back to hell from once it came.

yes, I found this in my yard, and yes it is absolutely unnecessarily massive. It’s allowed to exist, but exist away from me. 😰

bug experts, help me!

I drew the spider I found as a hollow knight character to make me less scared of it. I still fear her, but she may continue to exist bc she lowkey chill

Here’s da reference

A follow up! Nabnab :3

Tell me what other guys you’d like!

He’s got a dunce hat now

Fun fact! A spider has two segments: a cephalothorax (which literally translates to head-body) and an abdomen (the big part at the end why they keep all their organs). All of a spider’s legs are attached to their cephalothorax, so if we’re talking human anatomy, you’d have both your legs and your arms on your chest/face!

A more biological twist for some of the chapter 7 guys! Me being me, I love icky little guys, so here’s some iterations based on the hammerhead worm and medicinal leech respectively! (Fun fact: most images of blood-sucking leech mouths are actually lamprey mouths! This is probably because lamprey mouths are terrifying and I’ll leave it at that. Leeches have a triangular set of teeth that leaves a triangular mark when they bite.

(Sorry about the lack of image ids. I wrote them but Tumblr said haha no you didn’t and then they were erased. I’ll make them when I have the energy again!)

Extra:

Haha Biology Joke haha. Where am I.

Also I really like this Banban design I made but i kinda fucked up his shading so he’s a bonus now. Without the shading.

Im cooking 🔥🔥

Dealer has EIGHT floating ARMS and a total of ten legs specifically to spite this one guy that was bitching about the fact that Dealer 'cAnOnIcAlLy HaS nO aRmS' and was telling someone to erase the arms on their Dealer design when they posted art and was fighting people about it in two of the servers were in 💀

Like stfu bro its called artistic license and creative freedom lmfao

I FINISHED MY DEALER DESIGN

Other versions below the cut

One with just the relief filter, one thats just the flats so you can see everything properly, and nightmare mode (the main one from above but with a black background)

Redraw of an old oc I made when I was around 13. He was the start of me falling down the “vampire loving rabbit hole”. Except he was a spider “man” lol

My friends and I decided to draw spider ladies and I really liked mine so Here

I don't think people really understand my level of hatred towards spiders. Some people think that arachnophobia (for me, at least) is just not wanting to be around spiders, but I would literally rather get shot than have a spider on me. I don't feel like anyone understands the fear that I exhibit on a daily fkin' basis. I especially don't like it because my sister is dramatic af and will complain every time I ask her to go kill a spider. and to be fair, I don't give a fk about scorpions, but if a spider gets too close to my face and then days later you hear about my death, you will know why.

I'm honestly still glad I can listen to Spiderhead by Cage The Elephant.

I have an idea floating in my head. Annabeth Chase as Spider-Man

No gods AU and stuff, regular, arachnophobic, mortal Annabeth is bitten by a radioactive spider and after nearly dying learn she has powers and becomes a vigilante

I thought her name could be something along the lines of like ‘The Weaver’ since spider’s webs and Athena’s the goddess of weaving

Percy calls her ‘Web Girl’

And Thalia is basically SpiderBeth’s big sister and clocks her immediately

I don’t actually know anything about Spider-Man’s villains soooo

And yes SpiderBeth is still arachnophobic after the bite

in a battle between horrible life and sweet death i rivaled with the likes of a small crabbish demon sent from the world of predatory arachnids. Its mostly harmless but the fangs on that man, the hungry eyes and the distress of a maniacal wave of hysteria that took over as soon as i neared the bathtub.

i need this tub little man, im sorry

in the heat of battle many weapons have been rendered useless, even those which stood to do no harm, only momentarily restrain the enemy enough so that he may be flung out into the wider fields of the world where it is surely more fitting to settle, in a barn perhaps or a nook of a tree’s branch. the cups fell, the paper — oh the paper.

in one instant, after a tall cup had been discarded onto the floor, in my last ditch efforts to turn the tide i reached for the piece of paper that stood to be a common ground beneath his legs, oh how i regret that now.

i touched him and he freaked, spasming his little limbs in every direction, one belonging to the y-axis in which i unfortunately safely resided just a moment prior, which left me no choice but to relinquish the paper to the pit of hell that is the damp bathtub, to which the spider fell after soaring the sky for a small moment

i had not anticipated this as a victory, but as it turned out i had accidentally fucking waterboarded the spider, look at this shit

the paper isnt coming up easily, so ill have to pull it up with my own digits if i want a chance to save him

i didnt mean for this to happen dude im so sorry just pls go home
