Does anyone else here think that colors are weird?

Just wondering! Since no one has said anything about it! And it's been two weeks and everything still makes my eyes hurt.

I guess the idea that the perception of the world around us is based in our brain's ability to process light in different ways is kind of crazy when you think about it.

But uh, I guess you're asking because color is new, right? Man, that sounds bonkers to just get surprised with when waking up in a new place. No wonder your eyes hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if you just had a constant migraine 24/7, tbh.

Pretty much, yeah! Honestly, day one I was expecting to drop dead from it at any moment. That's what happened the last time someone I know saw a color. Boom, dead on the spot! It wasn't pretty, either.

But we're both still kicking, so I guess those two things aren't related after all! Phew!

It also kind of implies that you personally don't lack the receptors to perceive color to begin with, but rather you just come straight from some kind of Greyscale Dimension. Fascinating.

Yikes. I'm glad to hear your head didn't explode or anything, at least. Honestly, eye wear is a pretty solid piece of advice. Finding some sunglasses if nothing else, should at least help block out the really bright colors.

Like, you know. The sun.

Not exactly? I don't know much about, but I guess scholars have been researching it? Something about colors existing a long time ago, but something happened and they disappeared. The only time people see colors now is when something is... "breaking".

[like a mind. like the world itself.]

Um, yeah? I know not to stare at the sun. The sun isn't any less of a giant ball of fire and light without colors, you know.

But I guess making everything darker isn't a bad idea. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to work for me! I have a bit too much of a bright complexion, you could say.
