@@ohdeararat7947 If I could go back 6 years and slap myself for disrespecting such a magical creature by calling it a mere tree, I would. Worry not, for time and good teachers have made me wiser.
Flare Heart Fox They give off a vibe that they are bigger and possibly faster than you, so it's kind of like a prey predators type of fear. Basically, they are scary because they are potentially deadly.
@@mistakeshavebeenmade5527 For the same reason, people/creatures/animals with white above their iris are scary. If people look at you directly and have white visible above their iris, it means the 'animal' is preying on you and ready to jump forward. Spreading the eyes open, to be able to see everything, before they attack, youknow? Having a white 'outline' below your iris doesn't have the same effect. Usually it makes you look a bit slower or 'dumb.' Someone looking upwards going; 'Uuuuhhhhhh..?' is the depiction of someone that is unable to figure something out. But widely opened mouths (with big teeth) are also triggering adrenaline, because a dog would do that before he strikes. There's certain little details, like someone touching your neck with their finger (near your important veins) can feel a lot more uncomfortable than that same person touching your cheek. I mean, your cheek is in your face! And yet, that dangerous 'tap' near your neck, sets off a bit of adrenaline, to protect you from harm. If it wére to be a serious attack, harm done to the neck is something that _could_ kill you quickly. I have had two sleep-paralysis-demons and both have gigantic eyes (white above the iris) and growl while they grin widely, with sharp teeth. (Sleep-paralysis-demons are figments of creatures you might encounter if your mind wakes up, but your body doesn't. You're unable to move, and your brain comes up with something scary, meaning you might see a shadow, feel something heavy on your stomach/chest or you literally see something your brain created, like a sleep-paralysis-demon.) I suggest you don't google them (it's a load of wide-eyed scary ghouls) BUT you could go for something a bit more soft and watch a video from the channel Greanolf, called 'confronting the demon in your room.' (It's a guy that dressed up as a demon and talks to him. Bit scary, bit funny) It's a slow video, you've got plenty of time to go; 'Alright then, scary, bye' and click it away again. But he emphasized the 'white above the eye'-detail perfectly. Also, the trick with sleep-paralysis-demons (or sleep paralysis in general, which I usually get when I'm on antibiotics or heavily stressed) is to try and relax and change your thinking. Sleep paralysis is scary, because you can't move, but that might take a minute maximum. After this, the ability to move comes back. Relaxing and accepting this, is the key part. Stressing will provoke your brain to make things worse. So, if you encounter a sleep-paralysis demon, close your eyes again (this might not help, as your brain is responsible for their appearance and doesn't need the surroundings) and speak to the "demon" (let's call it a figment) in your mind. You can ask the figment if he feels like having a cup of tea. Talk to him/her about your last holiday. Ask about pets, whatever. I mean, you can't speak, but you brain can thínk the words. As soon as your brain starts thinking about other things, it'll forget that it was busy creating that figment. You're basically burying it under your new thoughts, until your mind stops thinking about it altogether. It's a bit like that scene in Harry Potter, with the Boggart. You think about something funny, you make it funny, you go; 'Ridiculous!' and it changes into something else. (Coincidentally, that clown in Harry Potter, while they are fighting the Boggart the jack-in-the-box is a typical sleep-figment-like figure.) Long story, have a good week!
Not sure how many guys have a similar costume, but I got a couple of great pictures of my wife standing "in the shade" of a guy in an identical tree outfit at the RenFest in Ingelside, Texas about 3yrs ago. He kinda stoodout though when he was actually among the trees.
I say we get a bunch of guys like this... and hide them in the woods shortly before sending a few parties through and see just how many of them run out screaming!
