Did I tell you what made me snap two days ago? I was drawing, and then a gnat landed near me. I actually would love to do some writing by hand, but it's not worth taking the chance. My characters are always active in my head, though.

Ah, well, not much I can suggest that doesn't involve risking bug exposure.

I either hide or keep moving.

I have zoophobia.
Not just the bugs, I am afraid of all living things that is not human, ant, fly, mosquito.
I jumped away when I see butterfly too. x.x

Oh goodness. How can so many people be zoophobic? It's a hard one for me to really understand because I prefer most animals to most people.

I am the exact same, Xuv! I do like butterflies, but if I see one for real, I'm startled at first. We need to start a place for zoophobics.

There are a few K-pop idols something like that, too.

I like the prettiness of butterfly, cuteness of kitties, awesomeness of wolf...
but just not when I am a few feet within the range.
I can be closer if they are constrain by cage or rope. Feel safer.

My zoophobia could be cause by me feeling insecure with animals, god know what they are thinking, barking at me like that, and I don't like things to touch my skin.
When human brush their body against my arm in a pack train, I would rub my skin. Like dusting off some dust.

Xuv would like fat cat. He doesn't think he just sits there looking blank.

...<.< >.>
... Who is fat cat?
and sitting there and stare is creepy and scary...

Xuv. Would you feel more reassured if you understood the behavior of animals a bit better?

Xuv and I are really one and the same. O_O
/I LOVE CATS SO MUCH
/BUT I CAN'T BE NEAR ONE BECAUSE I'M SCARED

Magical disappearing not-thinking fat cat.

I disappeared because I thought there was something on my desk.

Maybe. It will take me a long time to get use to it.
I remember taking a few days to get use to bunny and a dog, to pat them. <33
But after a few months, it wears off, even to the same dog.

My neighbour have these dogs... it barks at me sharply everytime when I am in their eyeshot. It frightens me many times, especially when I am not aware of their presence. It was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and suddenly those annoying dog barks at you! D: It makes me want to punch them!

BARKING DOGS ARE NOT COOL. And the ones that wanna jump at you and lick you? NO. Don't talk to me about the countless times I went Trick-or-Treating and a dog started barking when I rang someone's doorbell. == Once one rushed out at me, and I bailed. The owners got the dog before it could get me, and that's how they got me to come back.

I... don't enjoy even touching my skin, let alone licking? ewww... yuck! D:
For me, I can't understand why people would KISS the animals...
oh, and I don't share straw/utensil with people without it being washed. not even my family member.

Fat cat is HIM's boy cat. There's not much going on up there with him but he's always purring.

His name was Bovril before we got him and renamed him Lauri

I don't get that, either. The places where that animal's mouth has been…
Drinking after people is nasty. My older sister ended up catching tonsilitis that way, and she will never forget or do that again.

Hahahaha. I kiss my animals all the time. I do not have many fears of germs.
But even I don't like dog barks. They're unpleasant.

I just realized that you broke 10k.

lol. sounds nasty illness, Amanene.
My habit of not sharing came from the improper information about how AIDS spread in the 90s, when it was said saliva could spread that desease.

And also, places where the animals lick. They clean their body with licking, isn't it? at least I know cat do.

Magghiaghia, those neighbour dogs are small, yes, and when they bark, they jumped and bark non stop, and that don't sound like a happy welcoming bark. Keep on barking and barking, ignoring their owner's instruction, still barking until they can't see me. -___-;; That said, they are cute.

Another neighbout, wow, their dogs are specifically for guarding purpose. The way the dog dash and crash to the gate when ANYONE appears, and bark with their head squeezing outward, and front paw poking outward from the slit of the gate... I don't think that is friendly at all.

@[email protected] I like booping and kissing animals. They're so cute.

HIM's house tiger attempts to clean HIM's eyeballs sometimes

See snow in a game.
Cry.

I'm not okay with the thought that someone else's mouth was there and the glass hasn't been cleaned. That's really gross.

I have no idea how dogs stay clean other than with help from their owner.

Dogs do lick themselves but it doesn't really clean them especially if it's a dog that has a habit of eating poo

So gross. o_o

Some dogs just can't help themselves when it comes to poo. They just have to go roll in it or eat it.
