Her fear was irrational. She knew that. But it didn’t change anything.

Mark if I have time. What a beautiful Kalon.

“i didn’t hear you the first time, i’m sorry!”
her hands are so sweaty, she wipes them discreetly on her little skirt—oh dear, maybe going out wasn’t a good idea. she’s cornered into a conversation, the worst possible thing ever, and she’s nervous. ohh, what to do, oh they just want to talk, but she doesn’t! oh how she hates speaking in public, but she hates these tiny conversations even more. it’s not the person, she just dislikes a certain type of phrase. oh, it just make her sweat all the more thinking of it-
oh, of course! she can’t be in her head all night, she has a conversation to carry through- silly her.

“can you repeat that again?”
she trembles slightly, whether in frustration or nervousness, she doesn’t know. she twiddles her thumbs, oh how she just hates that question! she tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear as a distraction, but it falls back to its normal spot again. the kalon in front of her seems nice enough, but she’s still a bit peeved. oh, it isn’t their fault really, she’s just too quiet for her own good maybe! she inhales a deep breath, and repeats herself with a smile that plays at casual.

“i’m sorry, what?”
she swears she was louder this time, oh how wrong she was then! oh dear, oh dear, what is she going to do. this is why she doesn’t go out, she’d rather stay at home than be out! ah, why did her friend have to convince her to go to out like this, she can hardly pick up the phone when it rings! oh, but this kalon is so nice, aah, it’d be rude to just leave them… she just needs to speak up, that’s all! yeah, she can do it! she can keep up with one itty, bitty conversation like a big girl. she laughs off their question, and opens her mouth to respond again.

“oh, can you repeat that?”
at this point, she knows it’s frustration and-
just breathe, count in—1, 2, 3, 4—and let go
she knows she’s visibly annoyed at this point, but she can’t be mad at them! oh, she just has to step out of her comfort zone. hm. it’s just speaking up, there’s nothing to fear! oh, except for messing up, or just saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, and oh my stars, what if they don’t even understand what language she’s talking in and-
woah woah, ok. she’s just overreacting! aah, ok, let’s try this again. she dips her head lightly in apology, hands waving a bit too frantically. she goes to repeat herself, yet again.

“speak up!”
ugh! the nerve of them! she sweeps her skirt and stands up, hands clenching in frustration. she knows they’re joking, but right now she’s just really, really, frustrated! it’s not her fault she’s so quiet! oh, how could she try and lie to herself, she really does dislike talking to people. it’s not that she hates the people part of it, rather she’s too timid for it—is fear a good word? conversations is nice, meeting new people is so refreshing! but she has to admit, she’s more scared of being misheard than anything. it’s just the possibility of embarrassing yourself, or just messing up your sentence, or even just not being able to say something and looking dumb in front of people that terrifies her! like what if someone misses a part of what she’s saying, and took it the completely wrong way, and they’re angry and leave! oh, it’s what she’d get to be honest. she’s scared of that, oh dear. she knows it’s irrational, but she’s such a shy person, she can’t bear it. she’d rather face a room of a hundred giant spiders than hear that horrifying question of, “say again?” one more time.

she’s just terrified of being misheard.
it’s not too hard to understand, right?

biggest fear; losing her pet budgie, mint.

venus adopted mint from a local animal shelter. at the time, mint had a terrible condition which the veterinarian called "plucking".
plucking is typically caused by immense stress. in mint's case, the stress was caused by years of abuse and neglect by his previous owner. mint was originally terrified of any form of contact with others due to his trauma. however, with venus' patience and love, he began to trust again.

venus suffers from a medical condition which inhibits her ability to speak. because she is mute, venus does not scare mint with her voice. the budgie and the kalon share a beautiful friendship. some might say it's a symbiotic relationship between the two. mint keeps venus calm and venus keeps mint safe.

mint holds much significance in venus' life and is one of her main pillars of support. when mint is with her, she feels at ease. he is her best friend and they surely enjoy each others' company. she has thought about the chance of losing mint before, as much as she would like to ignore the possibility. birds are high-maintenance and are considered to be "exotic" pets, which causes vet bills to be terribly expensive. to prevent mint from getting sick or injured, venus has entirely bird-proofed her home to keep the chances of mint getting spooked off or bacterial infections as low as possible.

because mint doesn't have a cage partner, he requires attention from venus to fill his social needs! venus dedicates as much time as possible to mint to keep him healthy and happy. she constantly worries that he might become depressed and stop eating, or that he might get stressed and start plucking again.

mint means the world to venus.

athazagoraphobia - fear of being forgotten or ignored and fear of forgetting

alya was always calm, cool, and collected. she was quite friendly, and just a tad bit chatty. but she was fun, you know? she was the kind of girl who was friends with everybody. always laughing and smiling. if you were short a couple dollars for something, she would pay for you without asking for you to repay her. and yeah, she could be a little rude sometimes, but it was in a cool way. you know that sarcastic remark about your shoes or your hair that day. alya was just chill. but if you peeled back her skin and looked inside her mind, you would see something different...

-----

i grinned, cocking my head at him. he rolled his eyes and was about to say something when another girl walked by. i knew her, she was that one top-of-the-class know-it-all. he waved her over and turned away from me and asked her something about tonight's homework. a siren went off in my head, alerting me to what i already knew. oh no, what did i do wrong this time? i should have talked less. no, i should have talked more. no, i should have been nicer. no, more flirty! my thoughts went on and on. i felt my breathing quicken, the tears starting to form in my eyes, my mouth going bone-dry. i desperately tried to take deep breaths, blink fast, and swallow. it didn't work. he said goodbye to the other girl and looked back at me. i put up my façade of calm, something i was used to doing and quite good at now.
"sorry, i was just asking her about some problems on the homework," he said casually, a slight smile on his lips. i bit my lip a little, a habit from when i was young. then i acted on a stupid impulse.
"hey, you wanna go grab some coffee after school? it isn't a far walk from here to the café," i suggest, on the verge of a full-blown panic attack. he's gonna say no and forget about me, he won't remember this, he'll just ignore me and go date some other girl. someone prettier, smarter, funnier, flirty, cool...
"sure, sounds fun," he replied smoothly with a little laugh. i let out a quiet sigh of relief. but what if he forgets all about me? maybe he made plans with that smart girl. yeah to 'work on homework' which will probably be more like 'work on making out for two hours' or something. my thoughts taunted me. the bell rang, and i jumped. he saw my reaction and burst out laughing. i blushed deeply and tried to laugh it off. like that would work.
"alya, you're such a scaredy-cat!" he called playfully, walking off to his class. i sighed, going to mine as well.

-----

alya is constantly worrying that people will forget about her and move onto someone else, or they'll ignore her. the fear began after a game the kits played back in preschool. they would pretend to not see or hear one kit until they all started laughing. this scarred alya deeply, causing her to fear that it would happen again, and then it wouldn't be just a game.

aspen stared at the honeycomb as pip took a huge bite. pip saw aspen staring and thought they should offer him some.

"do you wanna try some?" pip asked aspen with excitement. pip was holding the crunchy treat in their outstretched paw. aspen had never seen or heard of anything like a honeycomb. he only knew what pip had explained, which wasn't much. it was sticky, crunchy, and sweet. or at least, it was supposed to be.

aspen hesitantly outstretched his own paw in order to take the sweet snack from pip. pip had the look on their face that a proud father does. aspen grabbed onto the honeycomb with shaky paws. he didn't understand why he felt so put off by this treat he was holding.

as soon as he stared into it's many holes, he became entranced and frozen with fear. his eyes became wide, he started to feel like he was on the sun. he could see all of his deepest fears inside the holes of the honeycomb. it's as if they were jumping out at him, but also sucking him inside. it made his fur stand on end, and his skin began to crawl. he couldn't break out of this trance he was in until, all of a sudden, he felt this massive force that seemed to be from another dimension entirely.

"dude are you okay?" pip seemed frantic. aspen turned his head upwards toward pip with his mouth and eyes wide open. pip could sense some sort of fear in aspen's eyes and demeanor.

"you've just been staring at that for an hour!" pip exclaimed, holding aspens paw that had the honeycomb in it. utter shock spread across aspen's face. "i've been trying to talk to you! i tried shaking you, yelling your name, waving my paw in front of your face--nothing worked!" pip's eyes were wide with terror. they didn't know what happened, either.

"i-i don't know," aspen slowly stated. he dropped the honeycomb to the ground. it hadn't felt like an hour. all he could truly remember was just utter fear. terror. pip grabbed his arm and led him back into their house.

from then on, aspen would look at anything with multiple holes, and get sucked right back into the trance-like state. he continued to feel utter fear whenever he encountered these things. it continued to get worse--sometimes he felt like the devil was personally trying to contact him. maybe he wasn't so far off with that assumption...
