In which nothing really happened?

Victoria Nichols @achillesfaceturn
So. Say you get a thought. And it FEELS so real you think it could be. But there's no way it could be. That's weird, right?

spVella Tartine @frenchsandwich spWhat

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki i think it's pretty normal
Ryoji Mochizuki ...is this about horses?

[tokencanadian]

spVictoria Nichols @achillesfaceturn spI mean. Thoughts! That are real?

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols This isn't about the horses
Victoria Nichols I don't know WHAT this is about.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki it's your thought, so i can't help much unless you tell me about it
Ryoji Mochizuki so what's up?

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols It's my thought.
Victoria Nichols ...I think?
Victoria Nichols I was just wondering if anyone had any weird thoughts after the festival. Besides the horses?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki weird thoughts...
Ryoji Mochizuki i was at the public library bathroom a couple of days ago
Ryoji Mochizuki and the guy next to me dispensed the foam soap first, lathered, then washed it off
Ryoji Mochizuki whereas i would wet my hands first before getting the soap
Ryoji Mochizuki and i never thought about which is the correct way to do it
Ryoji Mochizuki so i spent around two seconds reevaluating my life
Ryoji Mochizuki those sort of weird thoughts?

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols what?
Victoria Nichols no. no, no, no I meant
Victoria Nichols Something happening to you like when everyone remembered that horses existed.
Victoria Nichols also I'm pretty sure the correct way is to use soap first.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki i'm not sure if "remember" is the right word...
Ryoji Mochizuki for me, horses have always existed
Ryoji Mochizuki they're just not believed in anymore, like ghosts and dinosaurs
Ryoji Mochizuki if it's a weird thought about something that should exist but can't, i think about ghosts sometimes
Ryoji Mochizuki also if you use soap first, won't it get washed off with the water?

spPenny Polendina @coppernicus spI think that might be sign of early-onset dementia. Are you okay???

[notyourutopian]

Eleanor Lamb If you don't mind me asking, what did you see?

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols Isn't that the point?
Victoria Nichols Anyway, that's just it. Things either existing or not.
Victoria Nichols It feels like what I remembered actually happened. Even though it couldn't have.

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols It's actually kind of personal.
Victoria Nichols At least that's how it felt to me
Victoria Nichols ...so that doesn't make any sense then.

[notyourutopian]

Eleanor Lamb That's fair.
Eleanor Lamb From what I've had people tell me and seen on here, it's not just you...ah...seeing things.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki could it be something you read in a book or saw in a movie?
Ryoji Mochizuki immersive media such as those tend to leave an impression
Ryoji Mochizuki if it felt real, even when it couldn't possibly have happened, then it did its job

[tokencanadian]

spVictoria Nichols @achillesfaceturn spWhat? No! I'm perfectly sane!! AND I'm reasonably healthy.

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols Well
Victoria Nichols What kind of movie would have me in it?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki i think there's something in films where the viewer or cameraman is considered a character
Ryoji Mochizuki with other characters speaking directly to the camera and breaking the fourth wall
Ryoji Mochizuki it's hard to say without knowing what's on your mind

[darkinferno]

are you talking about the weird too-vivid-to-be-fake recollections of something that's never actually happened?

[rosettareflected]

Weird, but less and less unusual. I've seen a couple now... they can't be me - I don't speak Japanese and I don't own land, let alone a radio tower - but there's no other way to explain them. It's really confusing.

[beastenderblood]

spVella Tartine @frenchsandwich spAren't those just thoughts?

spVella Tartine @frenchsandwich spImagination exists too I guess

[mollitumnata]

Aria Brandudy Putting it that way, it does sound weird.
Aria Brandudy But you could also just have a very vivid imagination, and I don't think that's so bad.

[tokencanadian]

spVictoria Nichols @achillesfaceturn spNo, it wasn't just a thought!

spVictoria Nichols @achillesfaceturn spIt... felt real? idk this isn't coming out like I wanted it to.

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Nichols See, that's just it.
Victoria Nichols I'm not asking about a film or anything like that
Victoria Nichols It was just... a thought that felt so real to me, like it happened.
Victoria Nichols Or, maybe I'm just crazy

[tokencanadian]

The first one. Or both?
It's never happened to me, that's for sure.
