    Man, I wish I could get my SO to suspend disbelief. I like talking shit as much as any pedantic former reddit user, but literally every line is a bit much

      I have a friend like that, especially with magicians and ghost shows. We know it’s not real. But if you just get off the intellectual high horse for a moment, for a brief moment in time, you could live in a world with ghosts and magicians.

        I’m that person unfortunately, and as much as it sucks, it’s beyond me. I have no idea what it’s like to take part in a theoretical world.

        I also have aphantasia and can’t get into novels because I don’t see the story unfold in my head, they show up as bullet points in my head. I can’t picture a strawberry, but I can describe one.

        I mostly consume documentaries, though I did enjoy Bojack Horseman but likely more because of the complex psychology they gave the characters than because the characters are anthropomorphic animals.

        I let people have their fun though, because others seem to enjoy the mystical worlds of fantasy.
