Each humanoid brain is the most unique yet relatable part of our body. Each one of us thinks about our brain in a different way. The movie Inside-Out was one example, but the possibilities are endless. I am going to do the best to describe what happens in my brain.
Here’s part one.
The journey of ideas:
It all starts when I get creative ideas or motivation. Brain Worker Cats in the Idea Sorting Room take ideas and sort the good ideas from the bad ones. The ideas resemble floating, golden balls of energy. Then they take the good ideas and make them into a batter. The batter gets flushed into the Idea Room and stays there until needed or until is forgotten or discarded. The Idea Room of my brain is made up of a giant circular room with small and deep grooves in it. When some material is needed one of the Brain Worker Cats scoops some up with a spatula and brings it to the Scroll Room where it is turned into a paper with the idea drawn on it. Then it is sent to the control room where Anxi, Burst, Craft, and Purr (the names of the voices inside my head) decide if it is to be used or not. If they use it, they insert it in the idea section and use the instructions to carry out the task. If not they recycle the paper. If the idea is not an action they send it over to the Idea Memories room so they can wait until they have a way to execute it. (ex. the Fluffen needed to wait until I got the idea to post it on this blog)
If the only brain batter left is stuck in the grooves of the idea room then the brain worker cats try to scoop it out with their spatulas, but if the grooves are too small it is an impossible task so it creates that sensation of brain wracking that usually occurs when I am anxious or bored. The more stressed I am the smaller the grooves get, the bigger the spatulas swell and the harder it is to get the idea out. Unfortunately the brain worker cats usually have to wait until more batter is flushed in before they can send new ideas. But occasionally the brain cats can manage to scoop some batter out so even if they can’t they will keep trying until they can.
Idea Room
From left to right: Burst (my cat-like side: violent, feral, survival smart, street smart, mussels), Purr (my hyper, very tired, excited side), Craft (My creative side: book smart, intelligent, knowledgeable), Anxi (My panicked side: quiet, tense, anxious)
Other: Memory/Idea paper (how I store my memories), Brain Worker Cat (the creatures that carry out tasks and run everything in my brain. They have many tools in their little bags such as pencils for drawing memories, spatulas for scraping Brain Batter, or a cooking kit to cook ideas into Brain Batter)
Part 2 will be a more detailed explanation of the place I store my memories.
