The thought of them having a color at all is kind of breaking my brain. Like, why would they have a color? They're just tentacles! Yes, I realize this makes no sense.

...sometimes I forget most people picture things in their heads while reading.

If you don't mind me asking, does written porn still work for you as porn, if you're not picturing any of what's happening? Do you have enough associations with the words themselves?

Honestly, I'm so used to reading porn that the majority of visual porn doesn't really work for me at all. Like, oh god, there are real people with bodies here, this is weird. Part of it is that I don't really picture things in my head at all, ever. I mean, if I'm making up a fantasy in my head to get off, I'm literally telling myself a story. There's no visuals to go with it. So I get off on the... idea of it, I guess? I sort of hear sounds, I imagine sensations, I imagine how it's making them feel, more than anything else, I suppose.

I get super absorbed in stories, to the point that I tune out the outside world, they just... have absolutely no visual component for me. To the point that I find added fanart and pictures in fic jarring and distracting because it's a sudden jolt to remember these people have faces. (I think this is also why I find comics bizarrely difficult to read - like, I have massive problems following the story because I have to look at all these pictures instead of just words and that makes it very confusing for me.)

It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized "visualization" wasn't a metaphor. Fuck, it wasn't until last week when I read an article that it clicked for me that "counting sheep" actually meant picturing sheep and counting them to most people, not hearing a voice in your head saying "1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep...."

My brain is weird.

I was actually just talking about this with some friends! I have components of the same thing too- I almost never visualize things when I'm reading, so I find fanart and excessive descriptions very superfluous. Also, I'm totally baffled by people who get angry about book casting decisions for being wrong, because I never have mental voices or images for book characters.

I do actually like visual porn, just because I can't do the visualizing on my own so it's nice to have people acting it out for me.

Interesting. I'm a visualizer and I find fanart and pictures in fic jarring and distracting because it is so different from what I picture. Same result for totally different reasons.

NA I'm also a visualizer and I find art in fic jarring for the same reason. Comics are fine, since they're integrated into the story, but random art while I'm reading and busy picturing things totally pulls me out of the story.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing. It makes sense that even if you're not "seeing" what you're reading, you can't still "hear" things and "feel" things, etc.
