a lot of really common english names like martin, jon, michael, henry, etc. are primary colors (in various shades) for me, some of them being all one color and some broken up like panels or patchwork by syllable. mar- is a muted blue, not as dark as navy blue but. getting there. and -tin is a muted cardinal red. lol.. like ivy league or prep school colors. it has a pretty firm dividing line. meanwhile blackwood i associate with the visual/texture of a dark and smoothed-over cobblestone path with some (equally smoothed over or worn) iron like on a manhole cover or storm drain grate (or, in the case of the image i was able to find that best illustrates this, railroad/tram car tracks). my mother’s maiden name is blackwell and i also associate blackwell with worn cobblestone + iron and the cool rock+metal texture but blackwell is rainy.

alexander j. newall’s martin voice is another one that inches very close to being a green voice, similar to luke booys’, just slightly duller or muted than luke’s michael-voice.

for me personally, this looks a little ugly all put together but i’ll be honest, i rarely ever think about that when i’m literally just lost in the podcast as an audio experience lmao. the thing that i see/feel/taste etc. in my mind is the voices and the diegetic sound, which. if you can imagine those glowy light streaks/blobs from hlvrai, it’s like i’m seeing that in a pitch black room and it bobs up and down with the movement of that person’s voice. added together with other sounds and it’s like a light show. i wish i were good at animating because then i might be able to accurately present what it’s like for me to listen to a song lol... but then it wouldn’t give anyone the full taste/touch/smell experience (those associations also happen in the weird mental black space lol). but yeah. that’s martin blackwood. (the jokey martin kartin blackwood name has pink and red in it because of kartin but jfklsf again they’re very basic colors. just think of a bright pink-to-red gradient for it ig)

michael’s voice is green (both as michael shelley and michael distortion) which is honestly extremely rare for me. there are only a handful of singers, podcasters, etc (even a classmate of mine) who make me see green when they talk. luke booys’ voice is definitely green for me. the only real difference between michael shelley’s (non distorted) voice and the distorted michael voice is that the distortion editing sort of.. idk, flavors? the pre-existing color of luke booys’ michael-voice for me? (i had to go listen to the michael clips compiled in this video to sort of pin down an ‘average’ hue) but the high-pitched whistling/ringing noise in the bg of the distortion voice is blue. so michael’s voice (as the distortion) is like a green-blue gradient. meanwhile, the michael distortion laugh is something else entirely. all those cool audio artifacts that make the laugh so special are pink to me. makes a very cool green-pink gradient in my brain :)

michael’s name, meanwhile—both the plain ‘michael’ and the full name ‘michael shelley’—are a light muted blue.

yellow, and light blue! it has a bit of red violet in it.
