I don’t know, I’m pretty sure I’ve got aphantasia, but I love reading. I just tend to skip over character descriptions and have no clue what any of them are supposed to look like. On the plus side, I’m pretty much never disappointed with casting of an adaptation meaning the characters don’t look as I’d imagined them, since it’s just not something I do.
i’m utterly unable to imagine new visuals, but i can sorta half-imagine things i’ve already seen (though they have to be kinda distinct so to stick in the memory), so when i’m reading books all the characters end up looking like actors i’ve seen that feel like they fit the role. Very strange when i think about it.
