I’ve realized that I know nearly nothing about this site. I have also realized that I barely, if at all, post anything on here….I hope I can change that.

Pterippi and Unicorns: Asylum of the Daleks - Still Harping on Mothers →

themostfeminist:

[Trigger warning: ableist slurs, cissexism]

God, I hate dramatic openings glorifying cis white male protagonists. He’s glorious, he’s the mysterious woman’s only hope, he walks through fire (I don’t know why it’s on fire, maybe the daleks knew he’d be suspicious if there…

This is a classic example of looking too hard at something. You know those pictures made up of dots that you have to stare at for a while before you see the intended image? Well this is the opposite of that.

Now here’s the thing, when you watch something enough you can see more of the story that you may not have seen the first time around. However there seems to be a kind of sensory or information overload here. There is such a thing as reading to much into something and creating issues that just aren’t there.

“Your past life diagnosis:

I don’t know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern North India around the year 1450. Your profession was that of a dancer, singer or actor.

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your lesson is to study, to practice and to use the wisdom that lies within the psychological sciences and in ancient manuscripts. With strong faith and hard work you will reach your real destiny in your present life.

Do you remember now?”

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Timid, constrained, quiet person. You had creative talents, which waited until this life to be liberated. Sometimes your environment considered you strange.

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:

There is an invisible connection between the material and the spiritual world. Your lesson is to search, find and use this magical bridge.

hmmm…
