LOL Pepper needing a babysitter at almost all times is amusing.

RE: Salt & Pepper
@littlest-lily haha excellent! I love these comic strips. I hope you continue writing at some point also love you’re writing also.

RE: Science? I Laugh in the Face of Science!
@TakoAlice8 Funny I had the same discussion on Discord a few days ago - another dimension could have very different properties. Some theories, such as String Theory, allows in its framework the existence of multiple universes. Each universe would have its own set of physical laws and constants, which could be vastly different from ours.
Maybe it’s a bit of copium on my part (I want my shrink ray, dammit!), but seriously there’s still so much we don’t know.

RE: Extreme hyperphantasia
@tiny-ivy I figured I couldn’t be the only one, given the impossible nature of our kink, so much happens in our minds - it’s possible we cope and develop our imaginations beyond the average
I hadn’t thought of the synaesthesia angle! That’s actually a very intereting theory, if there was some serious science done on the subject, I’d volunteer my time right away (same for microphilia, which is way overdue to be studied imho)
Can I ask if you ever get phantom feelings? Like, if you just imagined touching something, it lingers on for a while? I can’t explain it better than as if there’s a “delay” in the response to switch from fiction to reality. Ties back to sensory overload and synaesthesia, I guess?!
Also, did you ever have night terrors or sleep paralysis? Just trying to see if there are more common links…

RE: Extreme hyperphantasia
@Mrgoblinging7 Well first off when I was young I thought all imaginations were like that? I don’t know, it’s just one of the things you realize growing up that you have, like having a perfect pitch, or being able to hold a beat, or being colour-blind. You think it’s the same for everyone at first.
For sure this has caused me issues… it’s hard to let go when you can revisit moments in your memory, and re-experience them vividly, especially of times when you were happier. Might explain my tendency towards nostalgia, and why I still remember detailed stuff from childhood.
It also means I’m at the mercy of some fiction authors lol. If I really like what I’m reading, I go all in and view those scenes in my head. If it’s something really fucked up, I am NOT okay afterwards. But I still wouldn’t want to be rid of it. I’m just highlighting the cons.
Antidepressants somewhat tinker with hyperphantasia btw (along with a shit load of other things), makes memories and feelings more neutered and colourless. But hey, at least you don’t spend your day crying in a corner so that’s a plus, right?
