I just saw a full episode of his show. The fuck? I’m not a painter but I’ve seen my mom paint all my life.

This motherfucker just did in 15 minutes what would take her weeks. Like???

And he did it while talking, in clean fucking strokes. So fucking fast. I saw a literal masterpiece being created in fifteen minutes from nothing. From nothing. It was a blank fucking canvas, man.

I knew of Bob Ross, but I’d never actually seen him paint. Goddamn. How did actual artists react to him? Like, how do you not feel just thoroughly outclassed.

All while this mofo is saying how easy all that he’s doing is while I know for a fact how hard it is. Like, is he just gaslighting everyone?

      Frisson is distinct from ASMR but believed to be closely related

      Frisson is purely an auditory phenomenon while ASMR tends to be primarily visual

      there’s been only a few studies and some hypothesis about ASMR but the best one is that it is more tied to primate grooming behavior and mirror neurons

      for example, when i was in elementary school watching girls brush each other’s hair made me feel like fingers were going through my own. i felt everything i saw. i just thought it was normal didn’t know it was ASMR

      i also have a personal theory that it’s more common in AFAB cis/enby as well as transfemmes. like estrogen enhances it. THC does as well, at least for me
