I discovered a few years back that I have an irrational phobia of massive celestial bodies. Like celestial megalophobia. It's mainly the idea of falling into the gravity well of anything between the size of Jupiter to a black hole.

It's such an absurd and existential kind of "fear" since of course I'm probably never going to experience it. But at the same time I cannot help but be drawn to videos, movies and games where I'm reminded of that fear lol

Not to alarm you, but  you are already trapped in the gravity well of a massive celestial body, unlikely to even have the option of leaving it.

In the gravity well of several bodies, so even if you escape the first one, good luck escaping the next one.
