I don't have aphantasia, but rather a fairly active mind (likely due at least partially to my ADHD), and I just want to thank you for getting the image of a cow floating 3 feet above the ground slowly rotating in circles stuck in my head. That's what is going to be stuck in my head as I'm trying to fall asleep.

Are you serious? Lol I've never had to buy baby girl clothes, I have boys so I honestly don't know.

I've just started reading A Song of Ice and Fire. I haven't seen the show, but I also haven't been living under a rock. It's really weird to have very distinct pictures of the characters in my head, especially when they diverge from the descriptions in the text.

That was my point. My girlfriend and I, some years ago were talking about how women's pants and shorts and ect often have false pockets. We concluded that it's maybe because the expectation is that women will carry a purse or pocket book. But I've forever remained perplexed by the false pockets.

me when I dived into the ASOIAF novels after finishing Season 5 of AGOT. Reading the wiki and seeing the book version of the characters drawn was quite a shock to me.

This is the reason I never enjoyed Peter Dinklage’s portrayal of Tyrion Lannister as much as most people. He did an an objectively fantastic job. But he moves, looks, and especially sounds much different than what I see and hear in my head when I read the books

I always picture houses stitched together from different rooms I’ve seen in my life. Might be my cousins entryway, my sisters bedroom, my grandma’s basement, my bathroom

Reply to $100,000/yr is less then $275 a day. by MiasmaFate
At my peak, I was touching $600k a year. Of that, only $170k was profit. $100k seems attainable when you don’t consider the costs involved in profiting that.

Not only images but audios like the characters voices. It's easy to place accents when characters are from an actual place on earth. Like London or southern Tennessee. But why in fantasy adaptations have to go with the UK accents. My dwarves sound like Cajun swamp dwellers and somewhat of the miner accents from the 1950s. My elves sound like noble farmers from the Midwest. My humans vary. Orcs sounds like gorillas with smokers lungs. The list goes on and on.
Hollywood fix your shit.

Have you ever actually looked at women's clothing? Even jeans come with fake or pointlessly shallow pockets, wtf are we meant to wear, exclusively cargo trousers?
And yes, we are allowed to buy clothes and be annoyed that the designers decided yet abloodygain that we don't need pockets, because if we ignored everything that didn't have them we'd have a choice of about 4 items.

I'm very interested in this term for a few years now. I have a 3D brain (near full control over my visual cortex while awake) so it's a bit difficult to comprehend. Question. When you recall a memory. Say like a movie scene or an action you just did from a few seconds ago. How is like in your thoughts process?
I not only can recall a memory but I have so many spatial references that I can set up "cameras" and change the camera scenes pov for my entertainment. It does have flaws. As sometimes my imagination overlap the actual observations leading into dyslexia.
