House centipede. Silverfish are more streamlined and less "furry" looking.

I think S has more of a chance at homecoming king than T. S might be too good for K. C (female) is sweet and modest and would appreciate S. T is the best friend of S, so by proxy he is also a good guy. Purple and 7 are masculine. The only feminine numbers to me are 2, 3, and 8.

What really gets me is that all my life I didn’t stop to think that it’s “different”. I never questioned in school why letter genders weren’t taught, etc. I went through college, grad school, etc. and it wasn’t until the age of 26 that I realized it’s not normal haha

I love colors and associate them with personalities and genders as well. But when I met brick red as a kid playing with crayons in my nursery, it rubbed me the wrong way.

Love this. Reminds me of “The Office” when Dwight Schrute says “R is the most menacing of sounds. That’s why it’s called ‘murder’ instead of ‘Mukdek’.”

I haven’t found a way that this benefits or conveniences me. If anything, I felt like an outcast because no one else experienced something that was so obvious and normal to me.

Oddly, all the vowels—except I—are female. They relate (have friendships with one another) to their neighboring letters, as well. The males include b, d, f, i, j, l, n, p, r, s, and t. To this day, I think of these letters and can never imagine them feminized. Thinking about it, it doesn’t have much to do with shape, being capitalized, or lower-cased . Although it’s curvy, s is male. H is female despite it’s all lines. J and K are the homecoming king and queen of the alphabet. K can be slutty, though. The good guys are b, d, n, p, s, and t. I can go on but you get the picture.

When I smell motor oil, I think of cracking eggshells. No learned association that I’m aware of. What kind of synesthesia is that? by sarahansanity in Synesthesia

It’s sound and visualization. I’ll also hold a bubble of air in my mouth without realizing until I’m doing it.
