I was born blind. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is! Probably because I "don't know what I'm missing." (Probably because I can't "see" anything, not even big deals.) I live by myself in a one-story house (because fuck stairs, seriously) and works as a radio DJ, where my blindness is not as much of a hindrance as you might think.

I just woke up. I'm just chilling for a bit.

...

Yeah...

Okay, let's get to i



AAAAAAAAAH FUCK FUCK SHIT OH SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT IS THIS SHIT WHAT IS. THIS FUCKING SHIT. IS THIS SIGHT? IS THIS WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING? I DON'T WANT IT! I DON'T WANT A PART OF IT!



...This has to be sight, doesn't it?



Okay, that's better. That's much better. But this really isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Hey! You guys can see too, right? This is sight, right? This is a miracle?

[IAmTheNight]

Try to move the letters around with your mind to form words.

[Chwoka]

> ... This isn't quite the sight we're familiar with.

Oh. Oh, that's not good. I've gotta call in sick to work today, definitely. Let them run a recording.

Try to move the letters around with your mind to form words.

Okay, so which of these are letters? All of them? I wouldn't know; I only read Braille, so this is nonsense. Nice to know we're both equally lost here today. Nonetheless, I'll give it my best shot...







Nope, nothing doing. My brain isn't magic. Worth a shot though!

[wlzrobert]

Go on a 2 week vacation?

[supersinger472]

take a sick day

[Chwoka]

Maybe if I close my eyelids it all goes away. Then I can just grope my way around the house like I'm used to.



FUCK, SHIT, AH.

I sit up, and my "view" readjusts with my positioning. It clearly has some relation to what I'm actually seeing.



I need to figure out what the hell all this is.

Try holding your hand up to your face.

VOFMTA== means wall.

Try holding your hand up to your face.

Hey you know what this thing is!!!

[kd7sov]

Interesting. Your hand forms recognizeable words - "THUMB", "HAND", and four instances of "FINGER" - but nothing else seems to.

Navigate to... let's say that "cmFkaW8=", and see if you can identify it by touch.

[Kíeros]

Walk over to the ZHJ dot dot dot whatever thingy/thingies.

You navigate to cmFkaw8=. The amount of bullshit on it increases the closer you get. You rub your hand over it, and you realize exactly what it is. This is your RADIO. After that, all the rest falls into place...



(You still don't know what that thing on the bottom is.)

[OrangeAipom]

It's probably not important.

[Whimbrel]

Turn it on!

[Kíeros]

It's probably not important.

Regardless, take it with you; you never know when you may need it's... somethingness.

7:14 PM - Titanium - CENSORSHIP IS STUPID: imagining/headcanon someone who is blind due to a stroke or something instead of the eyes
and since these kinds of blind people can do funky stuff like see "subconsciously" it's like this guy "recovered" but instead started seeing things like this

haha no that's crazy he's never seen letters before
7:15 PM - OrangeAipom: well yeah
7:15 PM - OrangeAipom: i guessing it's more of a "lol magics" thing
7:16 PM - Titanium - CENSORSHIP IS STUPID: assassin's creed style genetic memory lol

Do you know what brand your radio is? That could be what Y2xvY2s= is.

Oh sweet, someone used one of my ideas. Turned out cooler than i thought it would. Good show old bean.

[Brickman]

I suspect that in this day and age a blind person would've at least felt out some non-flat version of the alphabet once or twice out of curiosity. Or could find such a thing if he looked hard enough. Some signs, licence plates, etc are indented outward and thus would be "readable" to the blind, not to mention stuff like children's toys.

Continue in this fashion until you've figured out what all the words in your room mean.

Fun fact: before the invention of Braille, people tried to teach deaf people to read by this method.

Let's just say there's a reason Braille was invented after that.

[McBearson]

Turn on the radio: maybe you've been given the gift of seeing sweet jams as well?

Fair enough. After all I know jack about shit when it comes to stuff like that.

I thought it was for French soldiers?
Well I guess it was adapted for blind people after that, definitely for a reason.
