Mental illness, get yourself checked by a psychiatrist.
Same
I do that
everyone does
When I was reading Stoner, I couldn't stop myself from picturing everyone as Fate characters because of the teacher named Archer. It ruined the book.
I would also imagine the textbox fading in and out while the sprites bounce around comedically, or what sound effects and music would be playing in certain scenes.
who did you imagine Katherine as?
this is really important
I ain't got nothing to say for myself man.
fantastic post
I imagined Katherine as Miss Pauling and Stoner as the Medic from TF2
I'm autistic and also do this. I read crime and Punishment at the same time as I was playing Disgaea 1, I subconsciously pictured Raskolnikov as Laharl, Dounia as Flonne, and Sonia as Etna

Me with Every dosto character frfr
This is why I hate movies based on books I've read. I don't want to see a "canon" version of the character I'm picturing in my head.

Hmmmm
Kek. I imagine everything as anime characters. Anime ruined everything for me.
