What are some Weird phobias or things your character is scared of

[Skyy]

I'll go first, the main one I remember is one of my ocs named Aster has a specific fear of the red gummy bear
Aster will show up in my novel but I don't feel like promoting cause this is a questions topic.

Gyeong-Wan has a new fear of the hot water release valve on the coffee machine in the bakery, because Nikki showed him his terrifying burn scar that he got from not being careful with it. It was like the Joker asking his victim if he knew how he got his mouth scars. Told in a comedic way, but you know, don't touch the hot water release valve. Nikki blames the hot tea drinkers, because hot tea is the only reason why workers at the bakery have to pull it. "We're a coffeeshop, for heaven's sake," he says, "what are you tea drinkers even doing here?" To which the tea drinkers give him a rude gesture from their corner table.

Well that is a good reason to be scared of it, I find weird things that are scary to a person give them more personality and it seems for you it shows he cares.

[SumireHime]

Yeah agreed. I like such details about characters.

[Skyy]

Mhm, one of my ocs hates snails but is fine with every other animal, one is afraid of candles (which is kinda reasonable ig)

For this story. My character Mister Mimic is afraid of mirrors and owls.

Mirrors because his power gives him the ability to mimic anything he see's. So if he see's himself he'll crash and reset.
Owls because, he's part crow and a crows natural predator ( based on what I read ) are owls.

[Skyy]

Ahh okay, pretty reasonable

Alicia from "Damsel in the Red Dress" is afraid of wearing real wrap dresses because she wore one once and it came undone.

Mora from "Crystal Blue" is afraid of people seeing her vitiligo, which isn't that weird, though it's nothing to be ashamed of.

[Skyy]

Ohhh, my main oc HS Vitiligo aswell

[kyupol]

Fear of... negative energy itself...

But she can snap out of it pretty quickly and keep walking

Interesting, there is many reason on why I can see why she would have that fear

[igneriss]

It's not really a weird phobia, I'd say it's quite common, but my MC is scared of spiders. But she just chooses to believe that it's very uncommon to meet a spider.

several chapers later:

[Leyelle]

oh that's interesting, is the oc male or female?

[Skyy]

Male, he will show up in my co ic and I will give a better description

[Skyy]

Wow lol, that's a great way to add a bit of comedy to your story

[igneriss]

haha thank you I really enjoyed drawing those comic bits!

[Skyy]

I bet, I would have fun drawing that
