PLEASE GD IF YOU LOVE AND WANT TRAINS

Oh my god this thread speaks to me, I was a very easily scared kid. Skulls, mammal skulls specifically and human skulls most specifically, were my most common problem. I remember my parents visited a shop with diving supplies, and they had a poster on the front of the check out counter with a painted sunken WWII airplane that had a skeleton in it, and I was so freaked out I couldn't even look in that direction or even really exist in the store. Also the commercials for the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie were a pretty rough time (I love it now!). Halloween season was the worst (although balanced a bit by abundant candy).

Speaking of dino related media I read The Lost World in 4th grade and Jurassic Park shortly after and reading about people getting eaten alive by dinos was quite the experience! I was definitely aware of dinos before but quickly spiraled into obsession after reading such vivid and dynamic depictions of them as real animals. I've never really been as afraid while reading books as I have in real life and I think being able to experience things through literature (and pulp) helped me get past some of the things that really freaked me out as a kid. I'm really thankful for the people who were patient with me while I was smol and scared

Oh also I saw part of The Mask on TV at a party as a kid and that was pretty freaky

what is the lamest thing that ever genuinely scared you like either as a kid or adult. i got scared of those halloween cartoon scooby doo ass eye stickers ppl put on mirrors when i was 9 and screamed so hard i fainted

I dream of a world where sidewalks are big enough for both the smoochers and the walkers

i’m evolved i think pda is actually a good and fine thing even when straight people do it but especially when gay people do. it’s nice to see love in public don’t be a hater grab a loved one and smooch them in line for your pretzel bites or something
