“If we can’t be lovers we’ll never be friends…”

Mixed media, 22.5x30in, 28 hrs

(click for better quality)

One day I’ll sit down and give an extensive talk on my experience with synesthesia, but for now I’ll just say that for me, music has always been tied to my art. Inextricably. When I put on music as I paint it’s not just background noise, it’s actively informing the piece. This is an example of me taking that to the logical extreme, this entire piece was made and crafted by the music I heard as I painted it. Using Beatles (and solo career) songs from across their lifespan, the finished piece becomes a visual symphony of shared history between Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Everything shared, and everything left unsaid.

Just found this blog! Synesthesia culture is as a kid being mad that the color by numbers used the wrong colors and your parents having no clue what you're talking about

Let’s talk about Cabin 10. The first thing we learn about them is that they don’t smell bad enough to attract monsters and they aren’t a threat in capture the flag because they’re just laying around braiding each other’s hair . . . Ok, BUT. Most half-bloods have adhd and most of Aphrodite’s children are a bunch of girls and Mitchell. So let’s look at these girls as a shack full of fem-presenting neurodivergents.

• whoever decorated all those pastel beds was probably spazzing out because all her new sisters bring her the connection she craves. Also she was hyperfixating on Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses—that bedroom was the dream.

• Patrick’s mortal dad is so proud of him. SO proud that his son has so much emotional courage.

• Ella has a deep empathy for animals who have been abandoned or forgotten. She hates to see a kitty get overlooked because she’s older or no one takes a pupper home because “pitbulls are mean.” She volunteers at a shelter every weekend and uses her powers to make potential families see what she sees. Also she has some special pink crocs just for cleaning out pens.

• Competitive sports are not their thing. Good for them for collectively not faking an interest and instead spending that time talking about stuff they like. No really, good for them for getting along with their teenage sisters.

• Chloë has ASD and her favorite color is pink. She goes hard. All the things are pink. You go, Chloë. She’s not snuggly like the other girls but literally gives the sweetest, most genuine all-in compliments.

• these girls cannot keep their hands still and need some damn hair to braid. What is dopamine if not having your hair touched or your arm rhythmically scratched by another girl?

• Marguerite loves ballet.

• group runs to starbies because caffeine helps most of them calm down.

• MASSAGE TRAIN!

• one of them watches Barbie Diamond Castle while questioning her sexuality. The girls and Mitchel support her with a cottagecore home reno.

• Victoria is very shy and is never seen without red white and royal blue a classic romance in her hand. Actually, fuck that. She’s super smart and reads a huge range of fiction. She’s also never worn pants. Fuck you, January, it’s not happening. The girl loves her pretty dresses.

• these are huge fangirls but feel a little left out of the Star Wars and marvel crowds. Lacy literally just wants to be left alone with her life-size Taylor Lautner cutout and team Jacob merch. She’s been given shit for her girly and lame interests her whole life.

• Her first week, Chloë is between Marguerite and Rose for massage train. She’s a little nervous about skin to skin but doesn’t want to stand out by saying anything. Her sisters get her feel and leap up and run to get their jade rollers to rub out the shoulder knots. There’s NO WAY their girl is gonna be left out or uncomfy.

• Drew fuckin loves Kibbe typing and is always getting her girls a new top that’s “so flamboyant gamine” and no one knows what she’s talking about.

• Mitchell sings Heart Full of Love in glorious falsetto every shower-hour and everyone is fucking nice about it.

• No one thinks Dove is smart because her dyscalculia is causing her to fail math, biology, and history (she put that the Peleponesion war took place in 3 🤷‍♀️.) BUT Dove loves to draw. For an artist she’s super extroverted and loves taking requests to bringing everyone’s OTPs to life.

• they don’t stink because they’re always gifting each other essential oil blends personalized to each sister’s Mitchell’s vibe.

• they’re universally bad drivers.

• Chloë is amazing with astrology. She’s dead on about sign compatibility because Chloë is a friggin Queen.

• CUDDLE PUDDLE. Proprioception really helps them finish tasks. So yeah, they snuggle while they finish their homework.

• Drew made Dove color coded friendship bracelets to help her remember her right from left. What a pal.

• Orlando is completely masc, was shocked when he wasn’t claimed by Ares or Hephaestus, and took awhile to adjust to the vibe. Turns out masculine beauty is still beautiful, and he has more love inside than anyone is ready for. You go, emotionally mature dudebro.

• Silena was looking at colleges to go into marriage and family counseling.

• Mitchel wants to be a trauma-informed tattoo artist and does beautiful floral work.

• Scarlet gets really attached and has no executive function when it comes to decluttering. Her bunk is covered in stuffed animals and at 15 she sleeps with every single one because she couldn’t bare to hurt their feelings

• dyslexic bitches enjoying red white and royal blue a classic romance audiobook all piled on one bed.

• dyslexic bitches can’t read a price tag.

• Tristan’s favorite song is Steal My Girl. He can’t stop and he won’t stop.

• Synesthete Tristan. He loves that happy teal sound of pop music. The pretty gentle yellow specific to the sound of Ella’s name. The way his crush’s smile smells like lilies.

• Rose has a thing for Y2K. You can pry her low rise jeans and PLL box set from her cold dead hands.

• a documentary about fast fashion made Valentina cry. Sometimes big social injustices make her feel really overwhelmed. They all get super into thrifting.

• Rose and Bella have matching stick’n’pokes of little hearts on their wrists.

• they fucking live for Peppa Pig. Just Rose and Bella. They’re bunk mates and someone had to buy them a headphone splitter because they have no self awareness when they’re jamming on their obsession and the others couldn’t take it anymore.

• That one time Drew made Juliette wear the Shoes of Shame. Juliette committed to a normcore makeover just to pull them off. She’s wearing those janky Reebok’s with knee high tube socks to this day.

• Piper gets mad one day and pulverizes the Golden Mango and serves it with vodka. They’re all in huge trouble. Impulse control is not her thing, man.

• Lacy is just the biggest fuckin vsco girl. Not ironic. Just Lacy. Leave her alone.

• pastel hydroflasks for everyone.

So you see these are not cool girls. They’re well… girly. No matter how much they are underestimated or how much shit they take from the rest of camp they just keep on liking what they like. Aphrodite energy is receptivity, willingness to trust, allowing things to delight you at the risk of looking silly. It’s putting on Clarisse’s armor and running into battle even when you know you’re not the strongest or the scariest. It’s shamelessly crushing on Jason who seems kinda bland to everyone else. It’s watching Ares cry and never looking away because you are so fucking strong. It’s seeing beauty in the beast even when no one else can. It’s believing in the beauty you can’t see. Even when you might get hurt. Whoever you are be it. Suck at sports. Hate fighting. Cry when something “shallow” moves you. Insist they remember Achilles for more than his crimes in grief and anger. Tear up and show it when bae leaves for work. Fucking like Nicolas Sparks. Worship your awkward girlfriend. Squee when your lame song comes on. Buy the I ❤️ Mr. Darcy shirt. You are great. Your passion, tenderness, and idealism are truly badass.

I want to know :3

:D

My favorite poem is Antigonish by Hughes Mearns! It’s featured in the Magnus Archives and it is lodged in my brain forever. I’ll probably make it its own dedicated post but it talks about a man who isn’t there, with the writer wishing that the man who isn’t there would go away. It’s a lovely little poem and especially as someone whose psychosis manifests primarily as delusions, I simply Vibe with a poem about something you know isn’t there but terrorizes you anyways.

And yeah! I have taste -> color synesthesia!! For the first 10 or so years of my life I thought you could teach colors to (color)blind people using foods. It’s kind of a weird thing to try and talk about because really the main way I know that my experience of the world is different from most people’s is that language just not built for the way I experience taste. I’ve thought of trying to do some sort of art based on my synesthesia but ive never been able to figure out exactly how since it’s really difficult for me to separate taste and the colors. I also experience ‘shrimp colors’ that don’t exist in a way humans can visually experience. Like orange and green at the same time, but not grey or speckled; the color simply does not exist.

There’s also almost no correlation between visualcolors and tastecolors. Por ejemplo, carrots (orange food) taste like a desaturated forest green. The only real trends are that the more artificial a food is, the more likely it is to match color wise; and that water will lighten and desaturate things.

Also it’s difficult for me to sort of quantify since I have no other frame of reference, but it does have a lot of effects on my life. Since color tends to overwhelm any ‘normal taste’, that’s what most of my favorite (and least favorite) foods are based on. I dislike carrots because it’s unpredictable whether they’re green or brown and I don’t like that neither of those are orange. My two favorite foods are grape koolaid (it’s so purple and I like purple; I also never water it down because then it’s Purple and I can also taste sour) and salt & vinegar chips (the vinegar covers any colors).

Water is always white or a very very light grey. This does affect what water I will drink because I avoid drinking water that’s sort of tinted warm colors. Doesn’t vibe right.

And the way I describe foods is almost always color based, since that’s the main way I experience it. This has deeply confused and mildly frustrated anyone trying to learn anything applicable to their own experience of food. I have no idea what other people taste, especially since colors tend to overshadow anything else. I’m pretty sure I experience spiciness and saltiness normally though.

And as mentioned earlier, it seriously impacts my sensory issues. Tastes are doubled (I guess?) and any after taste lingers for ages. If the water im drinking is significantly tinted it builds up in my mouth and is Bad (I had to pause writing this to refill my water bottle with my house filtered water instead of the water fountain from my school since that water is reddish and my water is only very faintly teal). Also since all taste is doubled-ish I am basically always aware of the fact that my mouth has a taste and a color. Which kinda sucks.

Also I think this is an adhd thing but I have a hard time describing colors unless I’m actively tasting something because I have a word based brain and the colors are something that completely upends the English language’s way of describing the senses. That’s sort of why I always describe it as being a one way link and say “taste to color synesthesia” rather than “taste color synesthesia”, because I don’t taste anything when I see colors, I just experience colors when I taste something. I think if it went both ways I would be a very different person and would likely have meltdowns much more often but that’s pure speculation.

I thiiiink that’s everything I can think of right now, but yeah! Synesthesia! I think I heard the word about four-ish years ago now and literally nothing has clicked for me faster than that did. It took me less time to start identifying with synesthesia than it did for me to identify with any lgbtq+ label. Every time I think about the fact that ‘tasting colors’ is something that people say to mean they’re loopy or high or something and not that they can literally taste colors I have to do a double take. It’s such a seemingly tiny little thing but it’s so fundamental to my experience of the world that I cannot even imagine anything different. What does koolaid taste like if not Color? I don’t know, because all I can taste is Color.

Synesthesia TED Talk🎶

I don’t normally post non-tickle related content but I got a special request from @littleesister to make a post explaining Synesthesia and how I experience it and I happen to have a slide show I made for my other social media and I’m more than happy to copy & paste it here for anyone who is interested in the topic!🥰🌈💕

Here’s the link to a post I’ve already made here showing what my tummy looks like according to my neurospicy brain🙈💕 https://www.tumblr.com/kikibumblesqueaks/731930803949502464/sorta-unique-tummy-reveal-i-have

(you can also find it quickly under #a peek at squeaky)
