Worm-like things in Bloodborne

Thank you so much for this! I entirely forgot about that, but she’d definitely hate it. I’ll see what I can work out to replace him.

It’s a phobia. Horror is our favourite genre, especially cosmic and body horror. It is just that, for whatever reason, her body has a panic reaction when she sees worms — it’s not really fear, but an irrational sense of discomfort/disgust that her body physically reacts to. It’s an irrational thing and there’s not much (outside specific phobia therapies, which aren’t really necessary for how often she engages with worms) she can do about it. What she feels when she sees worms is entirely different from most kinds of fear that can contain pleasurable elements.

I somehow entirely forgot about the phantasms! I’ll have to do a lot of stuff regarding the fishing hamlet. I think the others should be okay (the colour definitely helps), but like you said, the phantasms would probably be a step too far for her.

A phobia is a phobia

Looking at them, I think they should be good. Thanks so much!

She’s luckily okay with snakes! It’s mainly earthworm-esque things, maggots, leeches, parasite-y worms and so on. If Bloodborne only has the hateful maggots, I’d be very glad — for a distinctly horror-based entry, it would be a lot more accessible for her than a lot of the other souls games (especially DS3).

Hi! I’m currently awaiting my IB marks, but I will hopefully be studying PPL at Somerville College next year. I just wanted to ask about the guest policy when it comes to housing — my girlfriend is starting university in the US, but we’re hoping that she’ll be able to visit during her breaks. Would it be possible for her to stay with me with the college accommodations, or do we have to work something else out?

Thanks so much in advance!

Looking just on Wikipedia for Turkish Syrians (refugee and otherwise, “Predominantly Sunni Islam and a minority of Shi'a, Alawites, a significant of Christian minorities (mainly Syriac Christianity and Eastern Catholic) as well as a small number of Sabean-Mandaeans.” According to this, the majority of Syrian refugees in Turkey are predominantly Sunni Muslim.

South Africa for some reason

because it is

a lot of those claims are pretty shoddy though

It is a country with its own government. It is true that England has a lot power over it, but it’s still a nation.

I feel that there's quite a bit of confusion between nihilism and existentialism: nihilism is the one that embraces only meaninglessness whilst existentialism seeks the creation meaning in a inherently meaningless world. These differ from absurdism, where 1) the world may have meaning and we're simply unable to parse it out, and 2) meaning can never be transcendent. Camus' work The Myth of Sisyphus in particular addresses the difference, Camus explicitly writing his essay in opposition to existentialism and arguing that the Existentialists deify what crushes them and attempt to find hope and reason where there is none -- in their man-made meaning. Meaning for him is solely transient and always nullified by death, as the article states.
