Domatophobia

Domatophobia was a story Al had planned around late 2017. It started first as a simple short story regarding a few kids based on fears living in an orphanage, but eventually it grew to have its own branch of a timeline in the Spiritverse.

Progress on this story has been on pause/on break because of the creator's current disinterest to continue this story, but a 2020s reboot has been planned.

Trivia

 * The story's title means a fear of houses.
 * We did it gamers! We found the home of phobia! /j
 * Everyone in the cast has some ironic twist to their design or character depending on the fear they represent.
 * Madeline Deadman, representing the fear of death, is actually dead, and has a lot of skull imagery in her design.
 * Hector, fear of heights, is abnormally tall.
 * Tamara, fear of drowning and darkness, actually died as a result of drowning in deep, dark waters.
 * Bruce, fear of injury, is basically a rotting zombie. Not to mention his name sounds like 'bruise.'
 * Rufus, fear of being stared at, has creepy looking eyes of their own.
 * Fifi, fear of the future, has a lot of clock imagery in her design. That and the fact she can't even remember her past.
 * Daisy and Lily, the fear of relatives, are twin sisters.
 * Spot, the fear of dogs, is a young werewolf. Mittens, the fear of cats, is a young werecat. Not to mention their names are common names one would give to a pet dog or cat.
 * Mary, the fear of dolls, has parts of her body replaced by cloth patchwork, making her partially resemble a ragdoll.
 * Tristan, fear of the number thirteen, obviously wont be twelve years old for long.
 * Godfrey, fear of religion, is a fallen angel in hiding.
 * Duke Byrd, fear of being watched by a duck.
 * Ms. Penelope, the fear of curses, actually delves into witchcraft herself.
 * Although Tristan was based on the fear of the number thirteen, a character later down the line, Trey, is actually based on the number itself.
 * Everyone in the cast is 13 years old or younger (with the exception of Ms. Penelope, who is in her 20s.
 * Daisy and Lily were initially named Raven and Sunshine, and their whole characters were based on the fact their names greatly contrasted their personalities. The contrasting personalities aspect stayed, but the names had to be changed, as Al wasn't satisfied with them.


 * The first six of the cast were actually based on Al's actual genuine fears. The more focus one character got of the six when the 2017-18 initial draft was being worked on was symbolic of which fears Al was experiencing the most at the time. So this was initially a way they vented back then. Of everyone, Fifi, the one meant to represent the fear of change and the future, had more effort put into her development than anyone else.
 * Fifi, at the time of her development, specifically represented the fear of the future of Al's home country, the Philippines, as by the time they overheard the government doing stupid crap that feared the country's eventual downfall from their stupidity. Unfortunately this specific fear still stands relevant to this day. Adding to the symbolism is the fact Fifi is meant to be an amnesiac, alternate timeline variant of Juana, an already existing character who was written to be the literal personification of Al's home country.
