And I Must Scream - just the idea of being helpless for possibly eternity...
Cosmic Retcon, Mandela Effect, and the like. The idea that the past can be wrong, that your memory can betray you, and that reality itself is unstable is horrifying to me.
I hold on 'cause that's the one thing that I can control. | She/TheySeveral people mentioned And I Must Scream, and I agree. Also Eye Scream squicks me out, I have a hard time looking at more graphic examples and sometimes I instinctively turn away if someone is about to get something in their eye
Also, Breeding Slave, Baby Factory and anything along those lines is just highly uncomfortable
My favorite failed console tbhAnd I Must Scream scares me if the victim is completely immobile. I've always had a fear of being physically restrained because I can't protect myself from danger. If the character can still move, even just a little bit, even though they're trapped, I'm okay with it, although it is still fairly freaky to be stuck and unable to communicate.
Also Ambiguous Clone Ending. I don't know why. I just don't like the idea of not being able to tell who's a clone and who's real.
Inconsistently active.Oh god Breeding Slave. Now i wish i've never heard of it.
Due to unfortunate events, i will continue to exist until further notice. (also i'm fluid now)Can't think of a particular trope just yet, but I just hate maggots in general. Don't know if I saw an example in fiction before, but in Real Life, they make my skin crawl.
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorCringe Comedy gives me secondhand social anxiety.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOJacob Marley Apparel makes me uncomfortable because people that die naked in these settings have to go naked for all eternity.
"Oh, did I win?"
Maybe it only applies when they manifest to the living, which is usually a small part of their time.
On the other hand, I find the idea that a soul is stuck to a single building to be more disturbing than it is usually made to be. Although you can suppose that it's not the real soul but an echo of its unresolved trouble.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.
Very much same. I don't remember having trouble with it in text, but it isn't uncommon for me to just pause something for a while until I've recovered, or just stop and come back to it some other time.
I'm Melting! always scared the shit out of me, especially if it's portrayed graphically. The implication regardless is still kinda... eugh...
Ironically, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of my childhood favorites (and still is a favorite of mine to this day), and somehow I didn't have any issue with the Dip.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.Similarly, Potty Failure always gives me, not anxiety per se, but I feel extremely bad for the character. I actually found the scene from Bear in the Big Blue House where Ojo wets her pants to be a Tear Jerker as a kid, likely also due to her pitiful voice.

For every low there is a high.![]()
Ojo doesn't wear pants, but I did feel a bit bad for here there.
I really hate the Nosebleed trope (or when Nasal Trauma results in a nosebleed), it's just gross.
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Eye Scream and Fingore definitely freak me out. In general, a lot of the Anatomy Agony tropes can be this to me if they're sufficiently gruesome enough.
