A lot of your works revolve around the many fears of the Nyan's... So in the spirit of Halloween, what are the more obscured fears the Nyan's hold or perhaps held in the past?
Good job pulling through lolitober btw! Seeing your little scrungly creatures every morning was a treat.
Nyan fears.. let's see... off the top of my head, bees/wasps, falling, cars, and loud noises~
Bees/Wasps. The ultimate nyan phobia, which is a shame, because from a distance I can respect them... but in person, they absolutely terrify me... I got stung once when I was like four years old and it traumatized me, and my mother also helped instill fear in me because she was allergic to them and had us avoid them at all costs. Now just the sight of them sends me into a huge panic, and if they fly near me I genuinely panic and flinch hardcore- buzzing/flying insects in general make me do that, but bees/wasps especially... like genuine primal fear whenever I'm near one. Fictional ones are fine, but when I'm physically exposed.. it's over...
Falling/heights... nyans are very sensitive to heights and falling sensations. They keep their eyes closed on things like rollercoasters at all times, they can't look directly up at the sky without feeling dread and fear, same with looking out windows of tall buildings.. as people probably know from certain video games (Sonic Heroes), losing control and falling even in fiction is enough to really scare the nyan.. They used to get vertigo very easily too and always felt dizzy and fell out of bed a lot in middle school (heck they still do as an adult whenever they use an elevator, which happens often in their apartment). They also almost fell off a hospital(?) rooftop when watching fireworks with their family for 4th of July as a kid, there wasn't a supportive guard rail and they slipped and they weren't fully sure what happened in that instant but their life flashed before their eyes and their hoodie fell off them onto the ground and a nice person on the ground grabbed it and brought it back up for them.
Cars, nyans are terrified of driving and being in and around cars, specifically fast ones... They've gotten used to it by driving to work all the time, but highways are still extremely anxiety-inducing as are reckless drivers. Cars are scary and expensive and dangerous and fast... Fun fact, in second grade, while crossing the street with their family leaving CCD, a speeding car nearly hit them~ A nun yoinked them back by the collar of their shirt and their shoe grazed the car enough to take it off if I remember right and saved their life...
Loud noises~ Sudden ones like glass breaking or something dropping are the worst, but even stuff like vacuums are scary and irritating... maybe not a fear so much as a "pain"? But they aren't a fan of things like jumpscares. Yelling/anger however does genuinely scare the nyans- things like stomping or yelling really trigger panic attack feelings in the nyan and make them cry, even if it's not directed at them...
I guess it's worth noting, they have a strong phobia of sexual things... I'm not sure if it's fear or disgust or what, but as a kid, they used to get viruses ruining their computer full of porn pop-ups, plus with their sheltered upbringing by a traumatized parent, they basically associated nudity and porn with bad and evil things. So any explicit material involving body parts down there (of either sex) really freaks them out and sends them into a panic attack.. I think they've gotten better in recent days at least, but it's hard to say they're at the level where they "tolerate" it...
Also when they were younger they had a severe paranoia about being watched, they hated making eye contact and felt burning pins and needles in their back whenever they felt like they were being watched... They were always terrified of being seen and perceived... they've gotten better at that though
And thank you~ I'm glad people like seeing the nyan uploads... a lot of positive reception to them which was nice, I was afraid I'd be annoying if anything, aha
(also I notice I still go back and forth between answering for myself and answering for the nyan the character when typing aha.. the power of "I" vs "they"...)
