Aphantasia is the inability to visualize within your mind. When told to think of an apple, people with aphantasia will not see it in their mind's eye, instead thinking of facts.
TOTAL aphantasia is the working term for a complete lack of the mind's senses. No visualizing, no remembering the smells of a certain place until you smell it again, no recalling exact sounds until they're heard again, et cetera.
Neither of these is a mental disorder. For those wondering, anon has total aphantasia with no inner monologue whatsoever.

does anyone else just like.. not know what they look like?
weird question i know but i mean a mental image of the physical body they inhabit.
like do any of y’all get a little shocked every time you look in the mirror? like “oh i forgot i look like that”
i frequently make wish lists on amazon when i have nothing else to do and then i look in a mirror an hour later and realise “oh damn none of that stuff is gonna fit me / fit my body type”
just me? okay

Mind is indeed the Builder… what is held in the act of mental vision becomes a reality in the material experience. We are gradually built to that image created within our own mental being… The Spirit is life. The Mind is the Builder. The physical is the result.

We snapped one of our first selfies back when we were dating. A long, long time ago. We met, though, years before that moment. Maybe by even more than a decade.
To hear my mom tell it, Kimmer had her eye on me way way back in Sunday school. I think, though, that's just my mom retconning what's otherwise two high energy kids existing in proximity who naturally recognize members of their own ADHD tribe.
Now, neither of us went on to formal diagnoses but my boy scout troop leader did tell my mom I was "hyper".
She was not amused.
And there's no question I drove various grade school teachers to distraction with my behavior. Absolutely. My first grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade teachers especially, I won't lie.
I can't tell you what Kimmer's experience was, but I'm sure she wouldn't be surprised that she was characterized as high energy in polite company. By today's standards, she seemed an extrovert. She was definitely inquisitive, adventurous, confident, funny. She was quick. Pretty much all the kinds of things you have to be in order to keep getting into trouble at school.
So we were birds of a feather. And we did run in overlapping circles growing up in church.
My enduring memories of Kimmer are two-fold. First, a mental still photograph of her in my mind. It's a moment just outside the doors to the chapel at First United Methodist Church, the building with the dome next to the Columbia Tower on fifth between Marion and Columbia. I was with whoever I was with walking to the chapel for kids church when we turned the corner and there she was in front of the doors. My memory didn't capture why she was there, who she was waiting for. It just captured the image. She's wearing a white dress with faded pink crosshatches. She's smiling. Not at us... she's just smiling. 
The second memory's a later one, closer to high school, I think. It's more of a video memory with motion and sound. We're both at some youth event on the other side of Aurora Avenue from the Woodland Park Zoo. We're playing touch football and, at some point during the game she rips my shirt pocket off my, you know, shirt.
So that happened.
Followed by accusations, protestations, deflections and so on.
Of course.
There are other memories we share growing up. But in general I think that's just what they are: shared memories. Not necessarily ones focused on each other (unless my mom was right about Kimmer from the very beginning, of course 😉). Otherwise, we share memories of youth group, of dances, of overnight conferences (lots of stories from the one in particular), as well as the boys and girls choirs we were in plus that dance group I think she was in. 
All 'n all...
Just a coupla high energy kids growing up in proximity like particles in a particle accelerator speeding in opposite directions along the same circular path.
Or something.
Anyway...
We snapped maybe our first selfie the old fashioned way in a fun house mirror when we were dating.
It was a long, long time ago...
But we've known each other much longer ago than that.
☺️❤️❤️❤️

You know, the part where Amai-mask visualizes how to kill the mercs...
Tumblr media
It has the same vibe as Saitama when he looks at people with intense concentration. The third eye of Saitama that Orochi said was the pressure and visualization exercise that Genos alludes to. Probably the same power that he uses when he concentrates hard in general, that being able to manipulate the metaphysical, forces of the known universe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The third eye (also called the mind's eye or inner eye) is a mystical invisible eye, usually depicted as located on the forehead, which provides perception beyond ordinary sight.[1] In Indian spiritual traditions, the third eye refers to the ajna (or brow) chakra.[2] The third eye refers to the gate that leads to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment. The third eye is often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras,[3] precognition, and out-of-body experiences.
Adherents of theosophistH. P. Blavatsky have suggested that the third eye is in fact the partially dormant pineal gland, which resides between the two hemispheres of the brain.[8]Reptiles and amphibians sense light via a third parietal eye—a structure associated with the pineal gland—which serves to regulate their circadian rhythms, and for navigation, as it can sense the polarization of light.
Rick Strassman has hypothesized that the pineal gland, which maintains light sensitivity, is responsible for the production and release of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), an entheogen which he believes possibly could be excreted in large quantities at the moments of birth and death.
René Descartes believed the human pineal gland to be the "principal seat of the soul." Academic philosophy among his contemporaries considered the pineal gland as a neuroanatomical structure without special metaphysical qualities; science studied it as one endocrine gland among many.
Chances are, Saitama's mental images are so strong the effects can be felt deep down on the soul level. Inner universe. Spiritual plane thingy that he can punch into.
No wonder people get scared out of their wits when Saitama is pissed off. Their psyche goes under attack. He probably doesn't even do it on purpose.
Garou probably felt some very primal fear about Earth actually getting destroyed under Saitama's divine power. Deep down in the lizard brain.
Saitama can just stare into your soul and you can just flop dead huh? If he wanted it hard enough.
Good thing Saitama isn't into killing people and violence eh? And especially not their souls.
Right?
Right?
Errr...
Good question.

I have this wonderful mental image for poster design yet lack the skill to make it happen. Or even if would be probable.
Ravenous 2: Fairytale of Salzburg. Helen in the TARDIS control room, scrolls of Gallifreyan symbols (language) on a table with Helen having been taking notes on a notepad as she learns to decipher the symbols. A partially drank cup of tea on the table nearby. Rubbing her neck after hours of work, wishing/daydreaming Liv was behind her to massage her neck/shoulders.

I was driving home tonight
And I saw a raccoon in the road
Only it wasn’t a raccoon
It was a black tar smudge
And it got me thinking
About all the different ways we see things in other things
How we physically see things that’s aren’t there like my tar raccoon
Emotionally, like how I say hello to my grandmother in my soul every time I see a cardinal
Mentally, like how I see my mother in bright pink flowers
Or even hypothetically
For example:
When I see someone out with their father
And I hypothesize what that would feel like for me
Seeing you in the empty space you left

Neil Gaiman: "in season 2 the fan-favorite angel/demon couple will fall in love, overcome great adversity, and eventually defy heaven and hell to run off together to the stars :)"
Fans: "cool! I can't wait, does Aziraphale confess first or does Crowley?'
Neil, holding Gabriel and Beelzebub figures and making them kiss: "Does who do what now?"
