    i love spiders, there’s a few in my room that build their webs in the corners and in return i don’t have any bugs in my room. well except for isopods whom are probably also helping with bugs not getting in my room by getting rid of accidental food waste

    it makes me sad that people are so scared of such lovely creatures when living with them really can improve your environment

      my partner is an arachnopobe so it’s been a very long journey. childhood trauma through association so it’s tough to crack with exposure

      meanwhile i had some ambient fear when young, but later i would feed ones in my yard and got in rock fights against neighboorhood kids trying to step on our semi-domesticated grass spider mega-webs.

      not sure when it happened before or after but i had a dream that a spider goddess ambushed me in the dark woods by her children tangling me up and politely told me they wouldn’t hurt me if i didn’t hurt them so i guess i made some kind of deal
