Reading is so weird. You stare at symbols inked onto thin dead tree skin and you hallucinate words, images, and visualize whole worlds and people that don’t exists.

What makes it even weirder is when you cant picture things in your head so your just staring at symbols on the dead trees

You do understand people with aphantasia are still capable of thought, yes? And can still read and appreciate the story, just can’t “see” it?

Ah ok. Gotta switch up my language. Thou doth not protest thine age it may seem. Doth thou recollect the glorious sorcery of dial-up towers that permeated throughout the kingdom? Those wheezing screeching beasts of connection that required saint’s patience upon evocation? Nay! An eternity had passed before the evocation had been brought to fruition!
