Very nice take on the 'what love tastes like' And that tiny hint of Twysalis. Love it!
5621440 this.
and, I hope theres a tasty follow up... if you know what I mean. ^,=,^
A nice story... But you can in fact explain color to a blind person. How? We use colors to visualize heat differences on inferred footage, you do the same thing.
"Color is like temperature. When looking at an object you see the light which is reflecting off of it. This is similar too how hot objects radiate heat. . Just like how there are an infinite number of temperatures on a spectrum from completely cold, to as hot as can be there is a spectrum of color. This is because heat and visible light are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The 'hottest' color is red, imagine it like the heat of an oven it gets your attention quickly. The coolest color is purple, imagine it like a cold winter's day, it's a relaxing color which you might ignore if you are not looking for it. The other colors fall between these extremes."
5622487 None of that will actually let them visualize what a color looks like, though. They'll just have a firmer technical grasp of this thing they'll never experience.
5622533 Also incorrect. We have the cybernetics needed to give a person vision right now. Within a few years we should have the ability to give vision on par with normal human eyesight.
Le Proof
Furthermore, this is about explaining color to someone, not showing color to someone. I can explain the earth goes around the sun without taking you into space for a year.
5622546
Oh you know what I mean.
5622557 No I realy don't. (Autistic, sorry.)
5622568 Ah. Well for the record I was aware of the cybernetic-thing, but most people don't so usually it's safe to assume they don't.
5622577 Well then we simply need to inform people we have entered a sci-fi setting, and are no longer playing d20 modern. Hell, we have brain linked cybernetics now, including fully working legs and arms. We should start seeing enhancement implants within a few years. MIT has tested out a flash learning chip on an ape, and aside from several seizures, it worked. We live in a pretty awesome era!
Describing the Cipher is impossible; it would be like trying to explain color to a creature without eyes.
- Shiala, Mass Effect 1
This was a nice read. I don't know why, but I've always liked intellectual discussions between Twi and Chrissi.
Good job.
5622725 One can rarely go wrong with Mass Effect.
5622589
That's a pretty big "aside from".
5624645 Meh, it's just a monkey, and now that the proper rate of data transfer is known, no seizures. Science needs to start somewhere.
5622589
Heck yes. I want some of those chips from Mass Effect! If I can't have that, I'll settle for potato chips.
But there IS something you can do!
Synesthesia is a mental disorder that causes someone to perceive sensory input as coming from a different sense. Depending on the individual, they might "see" sounds, "hear" flavors", or "smell" colors.
As it is described here as a sense, Twilight could magically induce synesthesia between physical and emotional taste.
5625938 Note to all researchers studying mental disorders: This idea could be applied to just about every sensory disability on the planet. Give this man (or woman) a medal for his/her genius.

Not gonna lie, I'm now considering a follow up chapter of Twilight and Chrysalis debating this idea.
5627207
Please do it. I'd love to read it.
5627207 "Huh. Love tastes like rose petals dipped in chocolate fondue. I must admit, I wasn't expecting something so... obvious."
short but good.
Good story!
Interesting side note concerning "Now, describe the color red to me."
Ponies have dichromatic vision. They can't see reds, only blues and greens. (makes you wonder about Applejack's fields full of green apples, and that white streak in Rainbow Dash's mane... lol)
But I'm gonna go with... talking pony universe, means different kind of eyesight.
Why is it blank on my screen? What is going on? Come on fimfiction! I want to find out what love tastes like, I'd imagine strawberries.
considering that chocolate contains many chemicals which are associated with the neurochemicals released in romantic passion....
5630867
Hmm? It loads fine for me.
5631534 It loaded now, I honestly have no clue what went on. It just didn't load for me. A blank canvas, Oh well, that was interesting to say the least. Odd ship, okay ship. Kind of wished it went on for a little longer though. But oh well, it was fun.
You're portraying their relationship exactly like I always pictured it. Perfect!
And their little discussion was wonderful. Just like the first chapter.
The steady back and fourth gives the whole thing and the two characters especially an incredible dynamic.
Very well done. Thank you for the new chapter
Wonderful! And there's another problem with consuming love; Twilight probably doesn't have the organs needed to do so.
If Twilight can temporarily change herself into a Breezie, why couldn't she temporarily change herself into a Changeling? That would solve the probelm once and for all, surely?
Wait. Are Chrysalis and Twilight being... shipped? Oh my Gawd! Please say yes!
Very interesting, nicely done.
Someone just discovered John Locke, eh? I gotta admit, an educational skit giving a short definition of qualia wasn't what I expected from this. Surprised in the positive sense, though.
I don't know if it was meant to be read like this, but I totally read this as Twilight/Chrysalis romance.
make a spell to swap senses with Chrysalis or a possession spell of some sort, that way you get the changelings view on it. I'm not the only one who saw this solution right I mean from what Twilight has done in the past this isn't out of the realm of possibility right?
Such a nice and strange relationship they have. Clearly there's been a lot of back and forth between them to develop the sense of understanding one another that is now present. Not to mention some intimacy that we've missed out on...but perhaps that's for the best, so we can imagine it for ourselves. A good story and moments of discussion between them, I must say.
