But they themselves are alright, just the implication of spider is the problem? So, say, entirely fake ones, like spiderwebs used as a design element in a drawing, are okay?

I guess, yeah, they're okay in that way.

I can appreciate the beauty of a spiderweb but I am creeped the fuck out by the likelihood of them being around.

I don't like fake ones either. Not drawings or toys. My fear isn't nearly as extreme with fake ones but it's definitely there.

Oh god, y'all. You creeping me out. Let's change the subject.

I agree light x'D

What are yall's favorite animal (fantasy or real) to keep as pets? :D

My favorite pets are the ones that keep themselves, so if I go off into a spiral of depression I can safely ignore them for a while and focus on fulfilling my duties to the Elders until it passes.

So, you know, things like bee hives.

Interesting approach, so basically pets who can take care of themselves?

For me, a small dragon as a guard would be cute .w.

Yep, exactly!

Dragons sound alternatively amazing and horrifying, depending on the specific universe/lore involved... are you thinking something like the intelligent telepathic dragons of McCaffrey's Pern (firelizards, dragons, same thing, different scale), or more like the ones in Jane Yolen's Pit Dragons trilogy, or the wilder ones of Naomi Novak's Temeraire series?
