Trans Phantom who's scared of needles. Rain who manages to calm him down enough to help him take his weekly t.
Sodo who panics when he sees Phantom starting to freak him out and makes a hot chocolate.
Mountain who immediately makes sure the younger ghoul has a bottle of water because 'hot chocolate doesn't count as hydration Sodo'
Sodo who rolls his eyes with a 'what next? Energy drinks isn't hydration? Hm? You saying red bull isnt the same as a glass of water? You idiot'
Aether in the background just laughing trying to tell Mountain that he's been trying to tell Sodo that for years
Swiss who just laughs, playing it cool with a 'I don't go mother hen attitude' but as soon as no one is looking, he slips a few cookies towards Phantom with an innocent look
Phantom who tries his best not to panic but as soon as Rain leds him to the bathroom he's shaking.
Phantom who grips onto Rain's hand while he's trying to prep everything.
Rain who has to call Aether in to calm him down.
Aether who gently takes the younger's hand, rubbing soothing circles on his back.

‘Can you not put him under?’ B suggests as Whumpee clings to A in a rising panic.
‘No!’ Whumpee wails, clinging as tight as their poison-wracked limbs will allow.
A hushes him softly, rocking him gently back and forth before laying him down on the bed to have the PICC line inserted.
‘Can you hold him down?’
A nods reluctantly as they gently lean their weight onto Whumpee's frail body.

Tumblr media
youtube asmr channel yt object frequently uses needles and syringes in their videos. the footage is exclusively extreme close-ups and can easily trigger trypanophobia with no warning.

I was just told this yesterday, but this might help others too.
So for shots on your upper arm, you can fold your arm back so the back of your lower forearm is touching your lower back. It keeps your upper arm looser even if you press your forearm to your back. Looser means less pain so it can be done faster and felt less.

Since his (most recent) collapse, Jayce has been accompanying Viktor to his weekly blood draws. 
As with most things in their partnership and lives, it started as expediency: Jayce needed Viktor to give him information about an experiment they were working on and Viktor was late for his appointment, so they walked together. The blood draw wouldn't take long, so rather than walk back separately, Jayce loitered outside the clinic and walked Viktor back, barely a break in their conversational stride.  
And then, as with most things in their partnership and lives, expediency became habit. Jayce kept walking with Viktor, Viktor didn’t tell him not to, and this, too, was another place where their lives became subtly inseparable from each other. 
“...So theoretically, if we run power through the new coupling without adjusting for- oh, pardon, I don’t mean to be in the way-” 
They are standing in front of the clinic door as an older woman comes out and nearly hits Viktor. He catches himself on his crutch on one side and Jayce reaches out a hand to steady him on the other. Rather than issue her own apology, the woman scowls and Viktor shrugs as they both turn to watch her go.  
“Okay, you were saying about the new coupling?” Jayce prompts as Viktor glances at his watch.
“I need to go in-”
“Yeah, of course, just finish the thought, and I’ll let you go-”
“Just come in with me. They don’t mind.”
Jayce’s dark skin turns ashy under the collar of his shirt. “No, no. I couldn’t. You go in. We can finish this later.” 
Viktor frowns, puzzled. “It’s not a problem. Companions come in all the time. Just a blood draw. Little needle, in and out-”
Jayce turns his head at the word needle and Viktor swallows a chuckle. “Oh. Don’t like needles?”
He shakes his head, affronted. “No! It’s not that. I mean, who loves them, right? But it’s no big deal.”
“I really need to go in-” Viktor gestures with his chin to the hand that’s still holding his arm. “Are you coming with me or staying out here?” 
A deep breath. “In. I’m going in,” Jayce says with the air of someone who has agreed to a suicide mission, but doesn’t move from the spot where he has rooted his boots, nor has he let go of Viktor’s arm, which he is gripping hard enough to bruise. . 
“Then we should go,” Viktor gently prods. “Come along.” And when that doesn’t quite work, he tries teasing: “I will tell you all about power couplings and you won’t feel a thing.”
That, at least, gets Jayce moving.

How did you get past your needle phobia to get tattoos done?
For some reason, piercings and tattoos don't really hit on the phobia the same way. I also do self-injections on a daily and weekly basis and that's not normally an issue, either (unless I'm super high, then I get weird reactions). It's strictly a medical phobia, and is strongest with IVs and having blood drawn. 😬
Surprisingly, I do want to attempt needle play at some point when I find a Top experienced in that area.

A small whimper escapes Whumpee's tiny beaten figure as they sit on the bed, a mess compared to the clean white sheet. Every glimpse they get of the IV line heightens their panic. Their head is bent, letting their unkept hair fall in front of their face and prevent Caretaker from seeing the full extent of their disfigurement.
Caretaker gently cups his hand around the side of Whumpee's face – a makeshift blinker obscuring their view. ‘Take my jacket, honey,’ he prompts as he gently drapes his slight biohazard of a blood- and dust-stained standard-issue military jacket over Whumpee's arm.

hey
shoutout to the trypanophobes this flu/covid booster season
avoiding them despite intense social pressure? i'm so proud of you, stay strong and take care of your mental well-being <3
avoiding them because nobody's said you have to, but you feel guilty anyway? i'm so proud of you, stay strong and take care of your mental well-being <3
getting them even though you really don't want to? i believe in you, stay strong and find what coping techniques work for you <3
getting them because you need to keep yourself and/or close ones safe? i believe in you, stay strong and find what coping techniques work for you <3
don't be afraid to ask for help and don't listen to those who sneer with the accusations of 'antivaxxer'. you know what's best for your physical and mental well-being. i know it's rough, especially with ads and triggering images all over the place, but you can get through this, however you choose to do so.

I had to go to the doctor's a couple weeks ago for my sports physical, and my doctor asked if I've had my second meningitis shot. So here I am having a full on panic attack in the check-up room bc I have a very bad phobia of needles and injections, and my mom is rubbing my back and attempting to get me to calm down as she faces the consequences of not telling me I have to get another shot when she knows my history with them and that I have almost fainted before while getting required immunizations.
I'm pro-vax, but I put them off for as long as possible bc of my phobia of them.
