The sudden sight of a black hole by any thordonian would make them want to cry for their long-gone mother.
The gravitational pull strong enough to warp your perspective, leading down to a boundary that no matter or energy can escape save for hawking radiation, a void of light.
Alas, black holes serve a variety of useful and exclusive purposes to all kardashev II and greater civilizations. But the thordonians try not to think about them, even when they are radiating away in their cores. "Leave it to the automated systems, I don't care and I don't want to see where I get my power from."
Still though, they are vastly interesting, and Battlecruiser Hauvei is an exemplary depiction of such attitude. It still gives him a feeling analogous to the willies though.

I like how the black hole just looks like someone drilled a hole in reality.
I physically cringe when I fly up to one. I’ve actually had nightmares of being in interstellar space and being surrounded by black holes so large they take up sizable portions of my view.
I've had similar nightmares about that, too. I'd be in a star system trying to get to a certain planet, but I'll be getting yanked around off course and I can't see where specifically I'm being yanked towards since black holes are almost invisible. This is largely thanks to Space Engine and Elite: Dangerous, the latter of which portrays black holes the same way as Space Engine but also makes them really tiny, so you often can't see the black hole until the gravity lensing starts warping reality around you.
I've heard elite dangerous is a similar game in the world perspective to space engine.
