Important Information!! Plz read!!
Hello everybeing! You can call me Nightlight, Dusky, or Fasach (pronounced fah-sahk). I have synesthesia, and a LOT of kinds of it, so I made this blog to make some flags to represent the different kinds! Feel free to send in an ask with requests for specific types (for instance, visual to gustatory) or extra specific types (for instance, shapes to tactile textures).
Another little note: I don't care who uses my flags, and I don't care who asks for flags. If you bother me that much, I'll just block you, but if you just talk about things related to synesthesia, you'll be fine.
For some simple definitions of terms you'll see throughout this blog:
synesthesia - a neurological trait possessed by approximately 4% of the population (although, since the experience is so expansive and many people don't know they have it, that may be much higher) in which the stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (for instance, the sound of a trumpet) involuntarily, automatically, and consistently triggers another sensory or cognitive pathway (for instance, the color bright red)
projective synesthesia - when one experiences the synesthesia as actually happening in space (ex. if someone has number-color synesthesia, they actually see that number as that color, regardless of what color the number actually is)
associative synesthesia - when one experiences the synesthesia as an association, or as something in their "mind's eye" (ex. if someone has number-color synesthesia, they involuntarily think of the color when seeing that number)
inducer - the stimulus that triggers the synesthetic experience
concurrent - the synesthetic experience that occurs as a result
Credits: the base flag (the one in my header and profile picture) and the two variants I'm going to be using are from @/flagtism. The symbols for associator and projector are from Gregor Cresnar here and here. Give all of that credit to those two!!
