ankhtahr:
Interesting fact: I don't really react to tarantulas. I even had a mexican redknee on my hand once. What bothers me are smaller, quicker spiders. The worst spiders I encounter where I live are "domestic house spiders". I almost screamed out loud when the image popped up when I googled for the English name. These things are terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. I grew kind of used to cellar spiders/Pholcidae sitting in corners because of me storing my bicycle in the cellar, but when there's a house spider on the wall I carry my bike up through the staircase instead of going out through the backdoor.
GarandMarine:
Yeah I'm usually okay with tarantulas. It's the tiny super poisonous ones I hate. Fun fact? That cobalt blue one on the last page is named after Metallica.

No you didn't. You needed to take responsibility and check beforehand (it's noted on the Wikipedia page), or be willing to deal with your own fears (you have pause and/or mute buttons, I presume). I really, really hate the concept of trigger warnings, it's a bad form of coddling.
Also, leave the poor shift key alone.

Okay, I know I used the word "seriously" but I thought it was clear I was joking. It doesn't seem like you're joking because you're all scoldy and talking about how trigger warnings are coddling. So I really must say, dude. It was a joke. It generally amuses people to see hyperbolic all-caps freakouts on the internet. I know they give me a good laugh. Actually, I'm not really sure how any sequence of words that includes ASDFGHJKL; could have been taken seriously, but whatever. It's still not right to randomly spout off about trigger warnings being coddling. If I seriously would have a panic attack at the sight of that many bugs instead of just getting seriously creeped out, it would be a real dick move not to tell me. I now regret joking about needing a trigger warning considering that fact. It just would've been nice to know beforehand is all.
BTW, Masterpiece, the bit he quoted was part of my ZOMG remarks about a scene in the second Indiana Jones movie, not the comic.
You can totally post cute spider pics, Zebediah! It's the sheer amount and inescapability of the Indiana Jones giant WTF!bugs that made me all :psyduck: and I would just scroll past them if they were on a thread anyway. Also, that Spider Zone looks so fun! I want one, too!
Sorflakne, that tarantula is gorgeous!

Whoops! Thanks for the correction. I, uh...I suppose I should apologize to the charred remains of New Hampshire now....

You've never been cut off by a FIB driving down I-94 who's doing 80 mph in a 65.

Now "Enter Sandman" is stuck in my head. I hope you're happy with yourself. :psyduck:
