Currently working on putting together an outfit that contains all of my name's colors in the correct proportions. I'm calling it my Me Uniform #mymeuniform
1 and 2 are extremely different. 2 and 3 are exactly half as different. 3 and 4 have nothing to do with each other. 5 is it's own thing. 6 is basically 5 and 7 is basically 10. 12 is also 10 but 13 is 15 and 17 is 20.
Obviously 20 is 5, and 25 is 4.
writer with synesthesia culture is wanting to listen to music while you write because you don't have time to do it separately and it's so inspiring but the colors are so distracting you end up typing a word a minute
I'm of the opinion personally that synesthesia isn't really as cool as people make it out to be- not that it isn't cool- because it is. I just think people tend to sensationalize or even mysticize it somewhat.
Like having synesthesia is likely way more common than we think and also it doesn't automatically make me a talented artist or a visionary or anything lol. BUT it does result in some very silly mixups, like my brain thinking the letter "f" and "c" are the same because they're the same color or me saying things like "do we have anything to do on blue? I mean 7- I mean WEDNESDAY" and other such things lmao
So... I think i have kinesthetic synesthesia?
Apparently sound "having motions" and touch isn't something everyone experiences. Neither is every motion making sound and a physical feeling. And tactile experiences don't move or have a sound.
This... would explains a lot actually. Mostly everyone being so fucking baffled when i try to describe any physical sensation.
I've had a few people in my life bring up the possibility of synesthesia when i talked about how i experience colors but only ever visual auditory synesthesia which i don't have. For me, colors don't make sound but they do move.
yeah there's a lot of kinds of synesthesia that are less common, and thus not well known. I've never met anyone that had sound->motion before, that's very cool!
I had so much fun with this! This is "Dial Drunk" by Noah Kahan as I see it because of synesthesia!

Question for the people with the type of synesthesia that makes you see sounds
What do you see when you hear people's voices? Specifically singing voices?
Paris 2024: Diving
In competition diving, athletes chase a rip entry, the nearly splash-less dive that sounds like paper tearing. Part of a successful rip dive comes in the impact, where divers try to open a small air cavity with their hands that their entire body then enters. (Image credits: top - A.

Naw hol up... let her cook.

I always thought seven and three shared something passionate but destructive.
This is a form of synesthesia! Not directly an autism thing, but autistic people are more likely to have synesthesia than allistic people.

From the US but i spell grey with an e because e just feels like a much greyer letter than a
grey with an E is dusty neutral but gray with an A is bluish and darker
it really is, huh
Omg I’ve found my people
It's because GRAY is a West Saxon word for the quality of light, while GREY is an Anglian word for everyday objects. And everyday objects are typically earthy, warmer, or more neutral.
To explain: West Saxon and Anglian are both dialects of Old English. West Saxon was the politically dominant dialect, but Anglian was the more popular spoken dialect. So a lot of Old English texts are written in West Saxon, but what we know as Middle English and Modern English descended more from Anglian because it was spoken by more people.
So grey (the Anglian word) shows up when authors are describing everyday stuff. Like in this sentence describing a grey beard from Holy Boke Gratia Dei: "The hed of Petir is a brood face with mech her on his berd and that is of grey colour be twix whit and blak."
Any Middle English text you read, you'll find Anglian grey is the word the author prefers to describe everyday things. Grey wool, grey feathers, grey stones, grey horses.
By contrast, gray (the West Saxon word) shows up when authors are describing the qualities of light.
A gleaming gray sword, a deep gray lake, a misty gray morning, cold gray marble, sad gray eyes. Like in this sentence from The Siege of Jerusalem: "They glowes of graie steel that were with gold hemmyd." More often than not, gray describes an impermanent or glimmering quality of light.
There's even an instance where a Middle English author uses both, and you can see how one spelling is more about the quality of light while the other is more about the color of the animal: "The cerkyl or the roundel off the eye ys sumtyme graye lyke the ey off a catte, sumtyme blak grey lyke the eyn off doggys."
("The circle or round of the eye is sometimes gray like the eye of a cat, sometimes black-grey like the eyes of dogs.")
The reason Americans use gray and not grey is because Noah Webster hated the English. :)
so freakin cool
Very interesting to learn the origins of these two spellings!

I have synesthesia and colors have a taste here's what pride flags taste like to me:
Rainbow: vanilla custard with almond extract
Progress pride (specifically intersex inclusive): cold vanilla custard (not frozen) with almond extract and chocolate chips and big pieces of unsweetened coconut with salt
gay/mlm: almond extract, fresh black cherries
lesbian: this one is meal to me. Full on meatloaf with mashed potatoes
Nonbinary: coconut shrimp with hoisin sauce
Trans: specific hard candy i can only get mail order, nectar flavor or maybe rose or somewhere in between. Platonic ideal of hard candy, really. Non sour.
Asexual: cold barbecue salmon (in a good way)
Aromantic: kinda like a very specific jelly bean i only can find on easter, tastes the same as pure green food coloring to me.
Demisexual: still salmon, but a different sauce, hoisin maybe? I guess the shapes do affect the taste a bit.
That's all the ones i can think of right now, drop more pride flags in the notes and I'll respond later with what they taste like to me!
(please don't judge me for not thinking of your identity I haven't taken my medications yet)
synesthesia is like Thanks i can taste that emoji

Yes, I'm the person who did the synesthesia art for Anne.
I'm so excited for you guys to see this!
The other day I was discussing my synesthesia to my family members since I had never told them that I had it, or how I perceive numbers and sounds/music. I decided to make a quick little write up thing explaining my experience with synesthesia, even though it's one of the more common types.
