every once in a while I forget my magic empathy thing is. a thing. despite the fact that I never bothered to name it

and then Im watching a brand new episode of a show and the character my brain connects to os about to say something, and I say something and then the guy says the exact thing I just said.

and it keeps happening, too

#like I vibe a character so hard I know what their next line of dialog is gonna be despite never having seen that scene before #it usually happens with like. very short sentences. but like it Keeps Happening #just casually remembered a moment from watching s2e3 of severance yesterday and getting random snippets of mark s in the vibes #like. idk. exact intonation when he says “thank you” like he's not sure if he Should be thanking them both confused and incredulous #and a tiny bit “thank them so as to not get shanked via pitchfork” and also a bit genuinely thankful bc that Was nice #for the record I watched the entire show One time. but by the time of s1 finale I was deep in the mark s vibe #like to the point where. bc the ep ends on the switch again. and I physically reeled back at the elevator ping in the exact second #like not bc of the plot even. the plot was great the cliffhanger was lovely. but I felt that Click of the elevator in my Soul or smth idk #fr tho gotta find a better name than “magic empathy” for my thing #like. it technically Is a lot like empathy in the “observe and internalize” bit of pop-psych #however. I also internalize things that I could never consciously guess were happening #vibe the arachnophobia off a guy. vibe speech patterns off of literally anyone and anything after too long #like legit predicting things in media and it taking a While to be discovered as reality. but it Is usually canon #like. me on james wilson the first time I watched house md #literally didnt even know its a medical drama before watching. and yet halfway to s1 I go “so wilson has depression and also a dog”#which. does not get mentioned until Several Seasons later. like not even vaguely clued in #and again. did not know any of that. when I first came upon the show on netflix I went “well thats a funny show name”#(to which my mom went “u Never saw this?? no nvm I wouldve known if u had” and then we started watching it)#like legit 0 clue whats going on. full complete guess that is 100% canon because I Vibed it off the guy like 10 eps in #legit every single piece of media I enjoy. by pure accident #the one exception so far is tadc. yknow. the one where the characters dont even remember their fucking names #anyways tldr taking name suggestions so I wont have to call it magic empathy when its probably neither magic nor empathy </3
