This is a recognised phobia.
It’s a fear of zombies, and surprisingly enough, it’s very common.
Now people might think, oh zombies aren’t real, why would people be afraid of them?
Optimists, I understand your reasoning, but there is enough scientific evidence that states once serotonin is prevented from reaching your cortex, and your brain stem, it’s a possibility that zombies could exist.
I personally suffer with Kinemortorphobia, I have done for a very long time, and believe me it’s no laughing matter. I have to sleep with a light on, I have plans to make a bunker in my attic, and I fear going to sleep, in case I see them, in my dream, eating me alive, or stumbling around while me and other people try to make ourselves become completely invisible.
I hate thinking about them, I hate how they disrupt my sleep.
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t watched that first movie that introduced me to the concept of zombies. Now this IS indeed a laughing matter. The film that introduced me to the phobia and started the nightmares… Wait for it… Was Shaun of the Dead…
Pathetic, right? I was 12 when I watched it, and the fear has grown worse since I discovered books, websites, films dedicated to surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, overrun by the living and walking undead.
If you suffer with a fear of zombies, don’t be afraid: You are not alone.
D. Taste
Little is known about the altered taste buds of the walking dead. Zombies do have the ability to tell human flesh apart from that of animals, and they prefer the former. Ghouls also have the remarkable ability to reject carrion in favour of freshly killed meat. A human body that has been dead londer than twelve to eighteen hours will be rejected as food. The same goes for cadavers that have been embalmed or otherwise preserved. Whether this has anything to do with “taste” is not yet certain. It may have to do with smell or, perhaps, another instinct that has not been discovered. As to exactly why human flesh is preferable, science has yet to find an answer to this confounding, frustrating, terrifying question.

So yeah, I have a new kitten, whom I called Shadow, and he’s decided out of the entire double bed I have, he wants to sleep spot on in the middle… So cute :3
Dear James,
I didn’t realise my feelings were so unimportant. Just because I’m not a bloody YuGiOh card worth £25 doesn’t mean what I think doesn’t matter.
I’m a person, not a fucking robot. I have feelings, and I feel shit about myself at the moment, so if I want to spend MY money on something to make me feel good about my appearance, such as a cardigan, I fucking well will do!! Just to spite you, I’m tempted to but a £20 one, but that would be cutting my own nose off to spite my face.
Yes, dickhead, I’m aware I have bills to pay, and yes, I’m more than aware that I’m in debt, but if I want to feel good, I’ll fucking do it.
Just because you have your Mummy to buy everything, don’t start preaching to me about money, Mr. “Let’s spend £300 on YuGiOh! Cards”. I’m the person in control of my finances, and I don’t want to look like a scrote, or a tramp, and I want to feel fucking decent about my appearance for a damn change.
I keep telling you this, and you never listen. You’ll listen on the day I say I’m ending it, change for 2 days and then go back to normal… You wonder why I lose my rag and I start getting annoyed.
I’m not scared of pointing your flaws out, and dammit, I’ll keep doing it until you get the message.
Whatevs man, I give up. I can’t do something to make me feel better, and I have to keep feeling like shit.
You treat those stupid cards better than me.
You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
“Given with the best intentions,
Help you with your complications”
Been sat in my house on my own for nearly 5 hours now… Sick of being abandoned for YuGiOh! Seriously!
That awkward moment where you stop posting to tumblr for half a month.
I give up on the YGO 30 Day challenge, I’m too lazy xD
Male: Mokuba. Mainly because he whines too much, and repeats himself all the time. He has no purpose in the anime, apart from being the kidnap victim, or being Kaiba’s bitch.
Female: Tea.
Mainly for the same reasons as Mokuba, she whines too much and repeats herself about the whole “friendship” thing… it’s a card game. Get over it… She hold no purpose in the anime, other than reminding the viewer of card effects, and bitching on about “friendship being more important than anything!!”
Joey Wheeler and Mai Valentine. They’d be so cute together ^_^

I drew a pretty picture :3 Seto Kaiba and Yami-Yugi. Damn my growing obsession with that blasted anime!
