I needed a distraction this evening, I was feeling really anxious and frustrated and panicked, all that kind of stuff. So I figured I'd draw Benedict, sort of dealing with a similar thing. So this happened.
Basically, he's hidden in a closet during a storm. He's got Lilapsophobia as have I, which is a severe weather phobia, on top of his regular general anxiety again, as have I so he's constantly worried about the weather, particularily in the summer. He's always afraid that there will be a severe thunderstorm along with a tornado. Because of this anxiety, he constantly checks the weather updates, making sure there's no watches or warnings for anything. When there is, say, a severe thunderstorm watch for his area, his worry and paranoia gets worse despite telling himself how unlikely it is to actually happen, how there's little to no chance that it will be anywhere near as bad as he thinks it will be, if anything even comes of it. He knows it's stupid to be this freaked out over nothing, but he can't help it.
Now, if the weather does churn out a severe thunderstorm and the clouds look particularily dark, he gets a sick feeling in his stomach. He wants to hurl. He constantly peeks through his blinds to look at the clouds, though he knows it's unlikely to help his situation. It's horrible for him.
Immense relief will wash over him once the storm has stopped for good, but he remains a tad worried until the watch/warning has ended for his area.

And that was way more information than you needed to know, and not nearly as much as I could have written. Lovely.

Anyways, I spent a couple of hours on this while listening to the Ricky Gervais Show to cheer me up and distract me, and it worked really well. Plus, I'm pretty proud of this.

I am ending this comment now, it's becoming a wall fo text.
