Synthesia is so fricking intriguing oh my goshhhh what does my name sound like (my actual name, I’m Ali pronounced Allie though I’m just special and now I’m rambling)

Synesthesia IS kinda cool tbh :D

Ali is a single, plucked yellow snapdragon lying on a swath of denim <3 Very aesthetic, 10/10

yooo i got synesthesia too! the name cassius? (cas-ee-us if pronunciation matters for you) it's bright yellow, bright green (but not quite neon), forest green, and pastel yellow for me

hey thats cool !! for me cassius is kinda pumpkin orange then immediately light turquoise (it kinda jumps?) then a sort of silver-purple-silver…if that makes sense !!if u don’t mind me asking, what does adi (ah-dee) look like to u ?

Martin blackwood?

a lot of really common english names like martin, jon, michael, henry, etc. are primary colors (in various shades) for me, some of them being all one color and some broken up like panels or patchwork by syllable. mar- is a muted blue, not as dark as navy blue but. getting there. and -tin is a muted cardinal red. lol.. like ivy league or prep school colors. it has a pretty firm dividing line. meanwhile blackwood i associate with the visual/texture of a dark and smoothed-over cobblestone path with some (equally smoothed over or worn) iron like on a manhole cover or storm drain grate (or, in the case of the image i was able to find that best illustrates this, railroad/tram car tracks). my mother’s maiden name is blackwell and i also associate blackwell with worn cobblestone + iron and the cool rock+metal texture but blackwell is rainy.

alexander j. newall’s martin voice is another one that inches very close to being a green voice, similar to luke booys’, just slightly duller or muted than luke’s michael-voice.

for me personally, this looks a little ugly all put together but i’ll be honest, i rarely ever think about that when i’m literally just lost in the podcast as an audio experience lmao. the thing that i see/feel/taste etc. in my mind is the voices and the diegetic sound, which. if you can imagine those glowy light streaks/blobs from hlvrai, it’s like i’m seeing that in a pitch black room and it bobs up and down with the movement of that person’s voice. added together with other sounds and it’s like a light show. i wish i were good at animating because then i might be able to accurately present what it’s like for me to listen to a song lol... but then it wouldn’t give anyone the full taste/touch/smell experience (those associations also happen in the weird mental black space lol). but yeah. that’s martin blackwood. (the jokey martin kartin blackwood name has pink and red in it because of kartin but jfklsf again they’re very basic colors. just think of a bright pink-to-red gradient for it ig)

daniel powell :)

screams jfklsd thinking about dan’s voice is why i made the post prompting people to submit character names, stop reading my mind..!!

it’s hard to separate real-dan from character-dan tbh because obviously they’re two different people/concepts. but dan powell’s voice, regardless of whether he’s in or out of character, is literally the color and flavor of banana-orange juice. like the Simply Orange™ variety. oranges and yellows are a very common color association for me to make with peoples’ voices but taste/flavor associations are very rare for me so.. dan really sticks out lmao. his name itself is similarly pretty special in the sense that i associate it with not only a pattern but a texture? which is that specific red flannel alex hirsch is always wearing (you know?), like the pattern, color, and texture of a red and black lumberjack-style wool flannel shirt.

do you know how difficult it was to fight the impulse to purchase Simply Orange™ banana-orange juice every time i listened to a81? when i was trying to get through seasons 1-3?? do you?!

What colours are the four Sanders Sides names? ily <3

Aww ily too! <3 Sorry this took so long lol, still trying to get through all of these 

Okay this one’ll be fun, because 2 of them fit almost PERFECTLY :D 

Roman: Deep, velvety red with golden-brown accents, basically like red curtains in a fancy theater with that yellow rope. Yeah. Perfect. (There’s also a spot of white, which coincidentally could be seen as a spotlight if I were to look at it differently I guess)

Virgil: Neon orange and a bit of yellow like a flickering neon sign on the side of a wooden building, maybe a small bar where local bands play. The sun is almost done setting.

Patton: Hot pink with a lemon-yellow circle off to the side, intermittent tangerine stripes, and white polka dots. Very 90′s-aesthetic pattern, mostly pink and orange. Now take all of that and mute the color a bit

Logan: Dark blue, almost navy, with a denim texture and a clear icy overlay. Picture a frozen-over lake that still manages to look deep and saturated with intense blue. There are leafless trees in the background.

Hope you like these as much as I do :D Even if they don’t fit the color schemes perfectly, I think they kinda work for their personalities for the most part! Again, sorry it took so long!!

[old synesthesia asks I never got around to, can’t take new ones right now <3]

Hi! My name’s Elizabeth, what colour is that? Sorry to bother you <3

AH I LOVE THAT NAME! I used to want to change my name to Elizabeth bc of all different nicknames potential. Anyway, Elizabeth is primarily a bright yellow-gold, with braided ribbons of black, burgundy, and navy blue. It feels alive and excited, almost like the name is vibrating, which is part of why I love it so much :D
