I think this is merging two of my big phobias (Megalophobia and Eremophobia)

You should watch The Mist then...

u/AyGeetheGeek 1d ago

Maybe I should. Although i don't suspect The Mist will have the same calming effects of this picture. Lol

u/South_Translator3830 1d ago

Near the end of The Mist, there are some scenes very similar to your picture. The one I like is a scene of a giant behemoth-like creature with hanging tentacles... That looks deliciously spine-chilling... Very recommended!

And I think this is the coolest thing ever

There's a bunch of stuff like this on that channel. I've become kinda obsessed with it. It's like my emotional intelligence is picking up the story, but my actual intelligence is too dumb. Lol

Isn’t that just Trico?

u/AyGeetheGeek 1d ago edited 1d ago

Isn't that a fear of holes???

u/EH042 1d ago

Trico is the Griffin-like creature from The Last Guardian, it’s mostly docile

u/AyGeetheGeek 1d ago

Oh, I know the one you're talking about. Yeah, it kinda does look like that.

Y’know what’s funny? The idea of animals or creatures being really big doesn’t scare me, BUT the idea of a large animal or creature animatronics, TERRIFIES ME. Like an actual King Kong gorilla? Eh. No big deal. Just a giant ape. But the King Kong animatronic from that one ride? It makes my stomach drop just thinking about it.

u/princess_ferocious 1d ago

Every story I hear about the way those anamatronics work makes me certain that I will never go near one. The stories about the T-Rex from Jurassic Park are terrifying. Especially if it got wet, or if someone was inside it trying to repair it...

u/AyGeetheGeek 1d ago

Its funny how we have all these weird things that terrify us. It's fascinating.

u/Bunch_of_Shit 1d ago

I have phobiaphobia. I’m afraid of being afraid of things.

u/Javka42 1d ago

Reminds me of the misty snowfields in Elden Ring.

u/AyGeetheGeek 1d ago

Well in that case, that boss is about to kick that guy's butt.

u/Yosho2k 1d ago

Reminds me of Trico from The Last Guardian.

Yay, Icelandic!

u/PerroRosa 1d ago

I don't think an artistic creation meant to elicit fear or similar counts as oddly terrifying

5

u/Dry-Masterpiece-7031 1d ago

It's their emotional response to it. You can't dictate what people feel

2

u/slutty_muppet 1d ago

They're not saying it's not terrifying, they're saying it's not odd.

u/PerroRosa 1d ago

What are you talking about?

1

u/AyGeetheGeek 1d ago

For me, what's odd about it is how it can make me feel these horrible things but can also feel cozy at the same time.

2

u/PerroRosa 1d ago

I get that, but the image of a giant creature approaching through the mist is not oddly terrifying. Nevermind

u/Smart_Turnover_8798 1d ago

To you maybe. Odd things are somewhat subjective, this sub has definitely taught me that.
