Patricius (4:24)
2 years ago 0 + -Correct. Each synesthete is different, and will see different things. Even in the novel (which I so poorly explained), but the characters would have different bells for the different sound synners, and so on.

Patricius (2:58)
2 years ago 0 + -Actually no, most everyone I have told my synesthesia about has believe me and not thought me freakish at all. But I have ready many accounts of synesthetes who have been treated almost like mutants. It's crazy. So that's where that aspect came from.

Patricius (5:47)

Patricius (1:21)
2 years ago 0 + -It's not crazy distracting. I mean, I was born with synesthesia so I've always had it. It's no more distracting than the music itself.
