You have synesthesia?? How does that work for you? Is this how you manage to use the word “meat” in a way that makes me go “holy shit that’s good and cool i need to read that sentence four more times” instead of “ew”?????
I do!!! Letters, numbers, and words all have colours and sometimes visual textures for me-- and while numbers and letters on their own are generally only a single colour (7 is a bright, grassy green!!! while "K" is a pale peachy pink, for example :] ), when i put them into words they often take on entirely new colours, some of which even bleed into each other like watercolour paints. Ironically, its why i use the UK spelling of "colour" in the first place-- the "u" turns what looks like a dull, desaturated blue into a smeared blue-and-purple that i find really pretty to look at :]] so when i say i like to paint with words, i kinda mean that literally 😂😂😂😂😂
But yeah, i'd imagine thats why my writing is Like That™ to some degree-- a lot of what im doing behind the scenes involves matching the colours and visual textures of a given word with all of the others in order to evoke a particular vibe or image in my writing. There are a lot of layers to how i write, but this is probably the one that takes both the most time AND is the one i happen to talk about the least WKDJWKSJEJ
#shouting speaks#asks#discovered the word ''halation'' yesterday as well which is a dark burnt orange at the beginning of the word that bleeds into periwinkle#on the back end#which was like. perfect for what i wanted in the scene#since a lot of the words AROUND it are various shades of browns oranges reds and creams#i think the colours i see the most of are purples greens and oranges tbh. p much every word with a Q and U in it has a shot of purple#if not taken over by it entirely#for those curious A is blue B is red C is a darker green#i made a chart once with hex codes to show what i see to other ppl but i have ZERO clue where it is now#the other funny thing ive noticed is that when numbers combine their individual colours stay the same#they dont blend like letters in words do#75 is green and magenta respectively the same way 7 and 5 are#36 is yellow and orange same as 3 and 6 when separated#its funny but helps me remember stuff quick im like REALLY good at remembering like. card numbers and license plates bc of it#txt
