We all love the beach, right? I sure do. Where the sea meets the land is a magical place. It is the overlap of two very different worlds; our sunny, sandy, beautiful home and the alien waves that beckon you into the inhospitable wilderness of the ocean. When crossing that foam-fringed boundary, one must remember that you are no longer in your world. You are entering the sea, and the sea is vast and dark and dangerous. It is more untamed than the wildest jungle and full of creatures that can kill you in a hundred different gruesome ways. Every wave whispers to you that you do not belong here, you may only visit for a brief time if you want to leave with your life. Hold tight to the warm sunlit sand that fringes the barrier of this place, or you may never see it again. Welcome to the beach. Enter at your own risk.
1. Tamarama beach, Australia
Tumblr media
This is know as both the smallest and the most dangerous beach in NSW. There is a permanent rip current that runs along the rocky northern shore, but at any given time there could be more hidden in the surf. Large waves break just a little ways offshore, posing a hazard to swimmers but an attraction for surfers. Although there are rarely deaths here, lifeguards have to rescue multiple people a day. Interestingly, this beach is only around sometimes! Occasionally all the sand will wash away and all that’s left is a rocky outcrop. There’s no way to be certain when the beach will come back or how big it will be or what it might look like. I guess it never gets boring to visit.
2. Isle of Ré, France
Tumblr media
This island is not the only place you can go to see square waves, but it is one of the places most famous for this strange phenomenon. This is called a cross sea, and occurs when two opposing wave patterns intersect. Although this is certainly a tourist attraction, it is best to observe from a distance, as cross seas can be very dangerous to both ships and swimmers. Cross seas can cause powerful rip currents and walls of water up to 10 feet high, rolling ships and dragging people underwater. (As a side note, my mother thought I had made up cross seas as a freaky supernatural event in my book. Unfortunately, I did not.)
3. Dumas Beach, India
Tumblr media
This is supposedly one of the most haunted places in India. Although this beach is full of tourists during the daytime, no one remains after dark, for fear that they will become the next ghost to wander the sand. Apparently, this beach was once used as a burial ground, and said to be black due to the human ashes mixed in. At night, people report hearing voices and seeing apparitions, and even dogs behave strangely once the sun goes down. There have also been multiple unexplained disappearances and at least one recorded death. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there definitely seems to be something eerie happening on this beach.
4. Morecambe Bay, UK
Tumblr media
This is an interesting one, as it’s not technically the water that’s dangerous. The ground is. This estuary features extreme tides, with the water level dropping and rising up to 32 feet twice a day. This exposes an expanse of mud flats and channels which are composed of loose, wet material that can absolutely suck you in and trap you. If this happens when the tide is coming in, it can quickly turn deadly. This has happened many times going back through history, including one incident in 2004 where 23 people died. Yes, all at the same time. No, I don’t want to delve into that incident too deeply in this list as it’s extremely horrifying and tragic. Feel free to research it yourself.
5. Monastery Beach, Oregon
Tumblr media
This has earned its nickname “mortuary beach” by being extremely dangerous. Over 30 people have died here, including people who weren’t even in the water. In 2015, a woman walking along the beach was dragged in by a wave and drowned. The beach has multiple factors that make it so deadly, including a steep drop off, unpredictable waves, and strong undertows. This beach isn’t even safe to walk on. I um. Don’t like that.
6. Hanakapiai Beach, Hawaii
Tumblr media
Despite its beauty, this Hawaiian beach is not recommended for swimming except for expert surfers. During the summer, this beach is a popular place for hiking, sunbathing and sightseeing, but during the winter the sand is washed away and the waves crash against the cliffs directly. Even in the relatively safe summer months, this beach has no barrier reef to break up the strong waves and powerful currents, which leads to a dangerous situation where swimmers can quickly be swept out into the open ocean and drown. At least 30 people have died here, and 15 of the bodies have never been recovered.
7. Lake Michigan. Just, all of it.
Tumblr media
Despite all the Great Lakes being somewhat terrifying, Michigan takes the title of the most dangerous lake in the country. Yearly, Lake Michigan has more drownings than all four other Great Lakes combined. The reason that Michigan is especially hazardous is that, well, it’s kind of weirdly shaped. Thanks to its 300+ miles of uninterrupted parallel shorelines running north-south, it forms huge waves and strong riptides and long shore currents. It is also a question of numbers; Lake Michigan has more public beaches and large population centers than the other Great Lakes. All in all, a recipe for disaster.
8. Playa Zipolite, Mexico
Tumblr media
This is also called the “beach of the dead”, so it’s inclusion on this list seems pretty self-explanatory. These waters have strong undercurrents that rotate in a circular pattern, either pushing you into shore or pulling you out to sea. There is a pervasive rumor that 50 people drown at this beach a year, although this is… somewhat exaggerated. In fact, very few people drown at this beach these days, as it has actually gotten less dangerous over the years. There used to be a steep drop-off that would catch people by surprise, but due to several severe storms in the early 2000s, the beach has eroded back and now gently slopes down instead. Although very few people die at this beach nowadays, multiple rescues are performed every day due to the dangerous currents.
9. Cyclops, Australia
This is a particular type of wave that forms off the coast of Esperance, Australia, as the sea floor rapidly goes from deep, open water to a very very shallow reef. It is… unsettling. The longer I look at it, the weirder it gets. It’s like an ai generated image. I couldn’t even pick one picture of it so I made you a collage.
Tumblr media
It is considered one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world, and can only be accessed by boat. To quote pacific surf dot com, “the reason the wave is dangerous is because it does not act like any other wave in the world. It engulfs itself due to the massive change in the ocean floor when the wave rolls up.”
10. Nazare, Portugal
Tumblr media
This area of Portugal is home to some of the biggest waves in the world. Just offshore is an underwater canyon, plunging down to 16,000 ft deep. This allows large, fast deep-water waves to move into shore unimpeded, and when they hit the shallows close to shore all the water gets suddenly pushed up, resulting in waves up to 80 ft tall. I think the picture speaks for itself in this case. Probably best to not get in the water if you see that shit.
That was fun, wasn’t it? Before I go, let me end this on a different note than the rest of my lists; some actual advice for if you should you ever decide to visit these beaches (or any beach, really). Rip currents are incredibly strong (believe me, I know) but very narrow currents that run perpendicular to shore. To get out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore. Trying to fight the current will just tire you out and eventually leave you exhausted and way the fuck out in the ocean, which is typically when you die. Swimming parallel to shore will get you out of the current, and once you’re free you can swim back in at your leisure. And, just in general, never fight the sea. The sea will win.

Tumblr media
Of all the places in my home, It's always the main hallway that stays consistent... And I hate it the most. It always shows up when I don't want or need it to. Like an item of interest you're looking for. You'd see it in your peripheral all the time, but never tried to pay it much mind.
But, when you're scrounging the many, foreign rooms of your ramshackle home, desperately crawling for that escape you dreaded but never knew you needed; It's like it never even existed.

Hidden Beneath The Depths
Tumblr media
Beneath crushing waves and unruly storms something stirs. Something ancient. Beware how far down below you explore- you never know what you may find

Tumblr media
put together two brushes that make it easier for me to make concept art that's rough yet somewhat pleasing visually.
Here Tinker is looking down at the world he finds himself in. Floating islands drifting with the wind, ships in tight formations passing by, a bustling town rich with goods from distant lands... It's all so beautiful, but also frighteningly deep. There are many tales of what lies beneath... Some say it's the end of the world, others say it's just the other side of it. But regardless of what the truth is, everyone can agree it's best not to find out the answers for yourself, lest you never find your way back home again...

I’ve found my fear. So, story time: I’ve never been super afraid of the normal things like ghosts(I love them), clowns, the dark, small spaces, etc. recently my grandma moved into an apartment so she could be closer to me and my family, it’s a nice apartment complex and it’s very new. It’s not traditionally creepy but it feels really off for me. I’ve been tasked with taking the trash to the trash room a few times and every time I have to walk down those hallways I get more and scared. It’s strange because I like closed in spaces, I don’t feel claustrophobic, I just don’t like apartment building hallways. It is possible that it’s because my sense of direction is thrown off but idk.
TL;DR: im scared of long hallways

it's so funny that with all my connections to water such as interests, birth related symbolism, the places i choose to live and my bloodline, i also got cursed with not only thalassophobia, fear of open water such as the ocean, but also bathophobia, fear of depths, such as deep water

I'm sorry I keep posting about them, I'm on my Octonauts hyperfixation, anyways, here's some BarnaKota hcs abt them
-Barnacles pet names Dakota alot, like Lovey Dovey, Dako, Marshmallow Dove
While she petnames him Barnie, Marshmallow bear, Lover bear
-Dakota suffers from Bathophobia (fear of large depths) , in which whenever they're on a mission to a deep cave or hole, she often has panic attacks, and Barnacles comforts her from it.
-Barnacles and Dakota love to cuddle in bed and give each other affectionate kisses
-Dakota is actually taller than Barnacles, so you can tell where that goes.

As much as I like the possibility of Rachael being a pirate in some au, I also have to remind myself that the girl has Bathophobia and would end up living a life of continual fear in said au.

For the twins!
🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?
🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?
💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?
Thank you for the ask!^^ 🏊 Can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?
Ooh I love this question! Because I watched so many videos of bats being really good swimmers that I could not NOT add this as a part of spacebats' culture! They LOVE water and swimming, both as a sport and chill pastime. The twins were no exception. Public open pools used to be their favorite place to socialize and relax. But now it's not as fun, because well... people stare, and talk... and Anillis feels like he can't show skin anymore and it makes him really uncomfortable...
There's no ocean near where they live, so they don't think about it much. But I can tell that Hec-Tor doesn't want to be near any big bodies of water, especially the ocean. He naturally loves water, but he's afraid of deep waters. Basically he has bathophobia :p It wasn't always like that, but an unfortunate childhood experience planted this fear in him
💚 What things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?
100% food lol No but actually, it's any gentle physical touch. Be it a hug, a kiss, a hand squeeze, a shoulder rub, ear pets, or even stroking their hair - doesn't matter. It usually helps them fight anger, sadness, anxiety and pain. And as I said a while ago, Hec-Tor is a hugger, so to him hugs are the best medicine :3
🎁 What types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?
I'm just gonna say it - they're terrible at gift giving))) They always forget the dates and never bother to prepare any gifts. If they didn't have birthday on the same day there's no way they'd even remember to get a present for each other too
But OF COURSE other people must always remember their bday and other important dates and always bring them the best gifts 😤 Even if it's just a quick date the other person MUST have at least one little present for them
The boys love any type of present actually, because gift giving is first and foremost giving the twins attention, and these two crave attention all the time. But, to be more specific, I'd say that Hec-Tor loves to recieve everything unique and expensive. Something that little to no one can afford or find. Only the most special gifts for the most special boy :3 Anillis, however, has surprisingly simpler demands. I mean he would still be happy to get expensive jewelry or cool tech or a star named after him, but in his heart Anillis knows that the best gift for him is flowers and sweets* from distant planets and galaxies <3
*Horde Prime has/used to have a sweet tooth, it's canon no I don't take any criticism 😌 How do you explain all this cake then? eeeeeh get it?
