A tumblr post:  @unpretty says: did cinderella ever talk to her man about his faceblindness  @bisexuhowl reblogs with: #I met the perfect woman but it was a special occasion # so now wherever she is her makeup and hair are probably different'#this is my nightmare'  rip prince charming, who had to let the whole kingdom make jokes about his foot fetish for the rest of his life because every blonde with an updo looks basically the same as far as he can tell  they call him prince charming because he's always really polite to strangers to cover for the fact that he doesn't know if he's supposed to recognize them from somewhere and when you're a prince that shit starts wars

Hello, fellow aphantasic!

Would it be possible to ask your friend to send you a picture of themselves? It can be a little awkward to bring up, but they'd probably understand "I'm starting to forget what your face looks like" (for me I can't visualize a face the second they turn around, but it's pretty normal for people to forget facial details over time)

    Oh my friend is fully aware of how my brain works, and they're really understanding. Thank you for the tip, though!

    My friend likes to joke that I don't have object permanence. Neither of us like sending images of ourselves out there, so that's a no-go. However, we do video calls from time to time.
