    Up in space there is no pressure. Once you reach it, it is just emptiness waiting to be explored. But the ocean tries harder and harder to deter you the deeper you go. Almost like nature itself is telling us to go up and away rather than finding out what is down below us.

      There are pressures so extreme water forms new forms of hot ice out there in our galaxy.
      Depth eventually stops being liquid. There is always an end.
      Getting there though... we probably shouldn't

      ​@@FeedMeSaltThat kinda pressure exists inside celestial bodies or certain regions around said celestial bodies, not the vast emptiness itself. You'd only be in trouble when you venture close enough. Yet, in the sea, the deeper you go, the harder the sea is trying to crush you, even if there's actually nothing around to pose any real threat. You don't need to get close to particularly anything to get yourself sick or killed; you just need to go deep enough.

    As far as that Scene in The Sea Beast goes, part of the reason the Tonal Shift is as severe and intense as it is, is that you as the viewer know _exactly_ how smart Red is. (the Creature's name is Red Bluster for anyone who didn't see the movie)
    If Red wanted the Hunters dead, they would be with no hesitation. If Red was a simple beast, the Hunters *would* be dead. But she left them alive, and sank deeper into the ocean. Without a sound, without a struggle, her message was Crystal clear to them and to us: "It would be so easy for me to end you, don't make me remind you of that."
    No matter who you are, no matter your status or wealth, you are nothing more than a pest to be ignored (at best) compared to Red.

      Yeah, it was moray eels that inspired it actually, they actually have a second set of jaws in their mouth that help them pull their food into their stomach. There's some footage of them using it that was captured for a study a while ago, you should definitely look it up, it's absolutely wild.
      Basically marine animals that have a jaw but lack the ability to suck water into their mouths to capture their prey (which is partially what goblin sharks are doing when they extend their jaws, lots of fish have similar, extendable jaws, bass for example also have extendable jaws that allow them to quickly suck food into their mouths) have a set of pharyngeal jaws that pull their prey into their throat, similar to how we use our tongues and the motion of the muscles in our esophagus to swallow our food.

    Subnautica embodies all of my most primal fears of deep water and the unknown entities that inhabit it just outside the realm of your vision. I hate all of those things so much and yet... Subnautica is one of my favorite games of all time. The world building and sense of simultaneous wonder and fear you get from exploring the vast and different ecosystems on such an alien world is so mesmerizing and I while I dread venturing into the darkness, I'm also captivated- a morbid curiosity to see what's even further down even though I know there's horrors down there.

    Although not technically ocean/deep space, Jacob Geller uploaded a video a while back regarding the outer bounds in video games, i.e. the infinite emptiness of game engines that becomes apparent once you peek beyond a video game's invisible walls. The reason why I bring this up here is because the ideas Jacob Geller discussed in that video and the ones you present here are similar yet different, both hinting at an overarching fear of incomprehensible vastness - which is probably what cosmic horror is, at its core.
    Also, highly recommend you look up a game called Water Womb World. It's a very short indie horror game which also takes place at the bottom of the ocean. All of Yames 's (the developer) other games are amazing as well.

    I underestimated thalassophobia most of the time because I only had the experience through games like Farcry 3 or Stranded deep where 3 meters great white is the main source of horror and I thought real ocean wouldn't be as scary. Until one time I tried snorkeling in shallow waters about 4 meters deep and on the corner of my eyes I saw probably around 1,5 to 2 feet long barracuda floating still few meters from me. It didn't get closer but not swimming away either is the scariest part. I get on the boat and bail and proly never gonna go snorkeling again.
    I can swim, quite well I think. my swimming teacher used to put in a 5 meter depth pool when I was 6 yrs old. So drowning isn't what I'm afraid of
    I did tried swimming in closed enclosure of a juvenile black tips, they were fed before I jumped in so not at all dangerous. But I still can't shake the feeling of uneasiness when I touched their backs

In spite of the cute art style, hokey humor, and Stardew Valley-like mechanics, when you venture down there as just your average everyday scuba diver and you encounter more and more of the mysterious underwater world hidden practically beneath your sushi bar, it left me a little fearful to push on further. It's no Subnautica, but it still has that eerie uncertainty to it. Especially since they did a DLC crossover with Dredge. Imagine being in the water with the abberations, rather than just pullingthem up in your net.

    Cosmic horror is the best label for it. Cosmic horror relies on the unknown. And the ocean is very much unknown.

    I love thalassophobia, both in its concept as an irrational fear, and in the reality that it's not an irrational fear at all. And while I don't personally fear waters, vast, deep or otherwise, I respect them with far more reverence and deference than, say, a handful of asshole billionaires who no doubt fed a significant number of tiny fish and other aquatic creatures with their liquefied remains.
    One of my favorite early episodes of The Magnus Archives (MAG 51 - High Pressure) also tackles thalassophobia wonderfully. In fact, if you've never heard The Magnus Archives, it's an amazing podcast chock full of phobias.

      MAGNUS ARCHIVES MENTIONED LETS GOO!!! One of my favorite things about the Magnus Archives' tackling of Thalassophobia is that (SPOILERS)

      The ocean is grouped into the same fear category as space- The Vast. The connection between these two fears is (I believe) quite prevalent; stemming from similar concepts such as fears of the unknown and simple survival instinct (space and the ocean are both *very* hostile environments for a squishy human form, after all). I adore it.

      It's also directly relatable to The Buried, which is fantastic. But High Pressure being a Vast tale was definitely the right choice. I'm actually going through and listening to the whole series again so I can finally get to The Magnus Protocol.

    I’m sorry but I have to say this, the Greek and Norse myths are lame as hell compared to eastern and new world myths. The umibozu is scary. The Aztec and Maya feared the depths so much that the euphemism for dying in their language instead of “passed away” is “went into the water”.

    I'm going through my first playthrough of subnautica right now. I've been spoiled of a few things, I know what happens when you go into the edge of the map(even though I've never even been that far out) I know a little about that lost river thing and those giant leviathan bones. I have only caught a single glimpse at a reaper leviathan, I have seen them in videos but not up close in game. I am not looking forward to when I do.

    The South Pacific ALONE is millions of square miles. Connecting that to ALL the other oceans, there is no way possible to know what is or is not out there in those depths.

    We call out to the beasts of the sea to come forth and join us
    This night is yours
    Because, one day we will all be with you in the black and deep
    One day we will all go into the water
    Go into the water
    Live there, die there
    Live there, die
    We reject our earthly fires
    Gone are days of land empires
    Lungs transform to take in water
    Cloaked in scales we swim and swim on
    We are alive and we'll metamorphasize
    And we'll sink as we devolve back to beasts
    Our home is down here and we've known this for years
    We must conquer from the sea, we build an army with water steeds
    We'll rise
    From our depths down below
    Release yourselves
    Drown with me
    We will conquer land with water
    Gone are days of land empires
    Lungs transform to take in water
    Cloaked in scales we swim and swim on
    We swim on
    We swim on
