Cipher Academy - Let's talk about fears 👻

(I'm posting this at 2am, so it's already monday, so it's not the weekend, so I failed you all 😭😭😭 I'm so sorry for being late again, frens, but I didn't know I'd be out all of sunday so this happened 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️) New Cipher challenge!! Ye!! This time with a very important but delicate topic/question: - What is your Cipher OC's biggest fear? Is there anything that would make them flat out reject a mission because of said fear? Rules: ✨ Draw your Cipher OC's biggest fear ✨ When I say "fear" I mean it as in "phobia", an irrational fear, something that leaves them trembling. This isn't about emotional fears, like "fear of losing everyone they love", but you can turn it into "fear of being alone" (there's a name for that, but I can't remember) ✨ REALLY think about this one, which fear would fit your character's personality and story best, or a fear that balances their power in a nice way. This challenge seems out of the blue but, I promise, This Is Important Information. ✨ Still the fear can be as serious or as silly as you wish, going from "I'm having a meltdown bc I'd rather die than face that" to "No freaking way and if you insist I'm gonna bite your face off" ✨ You can draw your OC talking about their fear, or them acting really freaking scared because of it; it can be a single illustration, or a mini comic, etc. ✨ Remember that some depictions of fears may trigger people so use a filter if you think it's needed 👍 ✨ There's no deadline on this one (and even tho it'll be important for the story it won't be needed right this moment, so don't worry) I hope you find new stuff about your OC you didn't know about!! ✨🌸🌻 NOTE: This is a Cipher Academy only challenge. If you'd like to join our community check my "My Challenges" collection and enter the original Cipher challenge first 🙇‍♀️🍀🌺🌈⭐

Sad Fish :[Raich has become an OC that i have grown very strongly attached too, and I'm happy that i get to explore his character with every new challenge @cherrytwelve throws our way!

The following paragraph has mentions of phobias, death & medical situations, so please do not feel the need to read it if that makes you uncomfortable! Take care, thank you for reading up till now, i appreciate it💚 remember to stay hydrated and have a good day! 🍶✨
------------------------------------

This was actually a decently hard challenge to tackle, because despite Raich being an idiot, he is relatively emotionally intelligent and knows how to process negative and unfortunate emotions. 
Despite that, there's still a couple fears Raich has, however i had a hard time finding actual phobias that could reflect them. Here are the closest i could find;

-Isolophobia— Raich doesnt have a fear of being alone persay, it's moreso a fear of complete isolation, without knowing when he'll see someone again. As a kid he used to get sick often, and had to be taken  to a hospital's isolation wing twice. He mostly remembers being scared and in a state of delirium, terrified that he'll never see his family or animal friends again. Sometimes, when he's alone for extended periods of time, he can get caught up in negative thought loops.

-Athazagoraphobia —fear of forgetting or being forgotten. His grandparents and father have passed on, as well as some of his animal friends. He's starting to forget little details about them, and he's terrified of forgetting them completely. His mothers have taught him how to deal with grief and loss in a healthy way, but he still struggles with the idea that his loved ones will leave his memory the same way they left his life. He can't remember how to make tomato soup the way his grandma used to, or the way his father would fold paper airplanes, or what his pig's favorutie snack was, and it hurts him to think about it.

😭😭 nooo poor fish
Oh poor tuna :( I want nothing more than for him to be happy <3
Oh the way you describe the phobias really gets it across :(( I’m so glad Raich has a support system, I don’t think I’d be able to handle the existential angst if he went through this so frequently T^T
A hot cocoa for our favourite fish lad ☕️
