    I’m not really scared of them, but I do have a visceral reaction to them. Something about them makes me want to vomit. Or, maybe it’s a level of fear I don’t recognize because I go from 0 to vomit and wanting to claw my eyes out real quick.

      it’s wild because humans are supposed to have this sort of reaction programmed into us for snakes, but i’m absolutely fine with snakes and even find some of them quite cute!

      but anything with long thin legs? incinerate it in nuclear hellfire
