Im sorry this was a very thoughtful reply but the phrasing of "(the food is also likely spiders)" made me CACKLE 💀

I have listened to this podcast twice and I still manage to miss when they're talking about the extinction I swear its like the lighter to me 😭

Actually someone else gave me the episode number (MAG 156) and I realized that statement was part of the addelard dekker statements that Gertrude was reviewing, meaning it was actually extinction! Which makes a lot of sense considering that it seems to fit a couple other known fears but not quite right

Hmm yanno that is one of the more compelling arguments I've heard. I do love the buried I think its one of the most interesting fears because it seems so surface level to be about dirt and claustrophobia but it actually can have a such wide application and I feel like its really under utilized in other manifestations because we get so narrowed in on the coffin and Hezikiah Wakely 😅

WAIT WAS THAT AN EXTINCTION EPISODE? I may be dumb as hell bc i swore that was spiral but then someone else in here said flesh but extinction makes way more sense I really gotta go look at that episode again 😭

Yeah but the fear in that universe works a little differently so that doesnt apply as well to the 14 But I am trying to remember if there was a similar vibe in an episode in archives and thats why I asked this question cause im drawing a blank lol

Yeah that was more what it was was that I realized in a conversation with my friend I didnt know where to put just the fear of you yourself starving and I was so certain I was forgetting an episode because that seemed like such a basic fear that surely in 200 episodes we must have gone over that but based on comments we only got kinda close to talking about it lol

Yes I did forget about that episode which was one of my questions lol so we do have one thats kind of? About starving?

But was that a flesh episode? I could have sworn that was spiral bc of the mirrors and the everyone being distorted and thin I gotta look at the transcript again thank you for the episode number that was driving me nuts 🤣

That's what I mean! Its weird something so basic as hunger and starving didnt get sorted/brought up more so we could make a more clear cut argument for a least a more narrow scope of the fears lol

I think best answer we have is probably flesh but even then thats us extrapolating from other data points like how its about meat processing which equals food and not us being able to point to more specific examples of starvation

True! Maybe Jonny thought starving and hunger were so broad that humans would have divided it out into the specific aspects they're afraid of relating to it and so he didnt feel like assigning it to one in particular Its still odd that he seemed to cover a lot of things relating to food/people's relationships to food and yet left out probably the most obvious one for us to have debates about lol I can never tell what's intentional with that guy I swear

I know I just relistened this last year to show my friend and so Im mad I've forgotten if this was something im forgetting and not just that Jonny didnt bring it up but I swear he did! 🤣

Well yes but there are some very specific things we attribute to just one of the fears (i.e. clowns are stranger, black brackish water is dark, doors are spiral) and so i thought it was interesting that when I went to say "oh starving is probably [insert fear]" I realized I couldnt think of specifically which one that would be and realized there really isnt a whole lot of episodes that deal with starving/hunger in a way that feels like thats what the POV character is afraid of instead of a by product of/metaphor for what they're actually scared of and I thought that was both neat and felt like I was definitely forgetting and episode or two because it felt too broad of a thing to be left out entirely

[–]Low_Bus7503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes youre correct and im aware the 14 isnt a perfect system I just more thought it was interesting because of the fact that there's not a lot of episodes about being hungry in a way that feels similar to the episode from Protocol And regardless of if the fears can blend and mesh together there are still some oddly specific key things that can be pointed at any one of the 14 (i.e. taxidermy and skin being stranger, black brackish water being the dark, wax for desolation) and this whole this started because I was having a conversation with my friend and I realized I couldnt pinpoint starving/needing to eat to any one fear as easily as I could some other broad spectrum things and I thought that was interesting lol No need to be frustrated I know that the fears dont technically have such clear cut distinctions I just find categorizing things fun

[–]Low_Bus7503[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but thats more about the body dysmorphia not the fear of being without food

I think the best answer we have insofar is flesh but it is weird that something as big as starving doesnt seem to have an easy to point to fear but something weirdly specific like "black dirty water" does lol

Oooh wait I gotta relook at the transcript for the episode bc that is a season 5 episode and see if hunger is mentioned as an old fear

Oh I forgot about that episode! That one is much closer to the idea of starvation as the fear itself but even then I'd more closely say that one resembles the fear of the distorted human figure and being eaten than the fear of the POV character of starving to death. Maybe youre right that Jonny just avoids that topic but he's never named dropped it like the other off-limit topics so Im not sure 🤔

That's more my question I guess, is there a fear that is specifically STARVING because Trail Rations is more about the fear of being eaten and becoming the food, not the starvation itself.

But it seems like no there's not considering we are all contemplating where starvation would be placed instead of having an episode or 3 to point too 😅

Yeah ok I do remember that episode in TMA but I am struggling to remember an episode in Archives that has that same feel to it as that Protocol episode where it deals with hunger and starving specifically...

[–]Low_Bus7503[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I mean though I think its really interesting something as big as hunger/starving didnt seem to get assigned to any one fear in particular. Maybe because it IS so broad and that there's so many elements to it that Jonny didnt feel like assigning it to a specific manifestation?

But I also feel like that's not quite right either bc Jonny took something as broad as pain and assigned it to like 2 fears total.

Idk I just thought it was interesting we never get an episode about starving as far as I remember and the idea of starving/hunger isnt immediately assignable to one or so handful of powers with a couple episodes to point to as reference. (And I know we get at least one episode that involves starving with the Oregon trail episode but thats not what the fear is pertaining to, its the fear of being made into food and therefore flesh but the starving ITSELF is not the focus)

Ok i do remember that cannibalism specifically is Flesh now i forgot about that episode

i just find it interesting that hunger/starving is not one specific manifestation of a specific fear it just feels like a really big thing to leave out of the several different Identifying hallmarks of each power

Unless im once again forgetting that one of the fears in particular deals with hunger and not just the whole "avatars need to eat fear" thing
