038. Diagnosis

Mirrors give you a reflected image. Shocking news, I hope you were sitting when you read that.

Why can't we see this Mirror City? Where is the mirror? Looks like all the good questions are going to go unanswered. The Lewis Carrol mirror world hopping has scientifically inaccurate for several reasons. First being that it should in all rights be impossible.  Let's suspend that belief because we have to. Thanks, Deities. This is another candle on your alter of Lacks Sense.

What does not makes even less sense is the nature of what has been skewed especially if it is supposed to be mirrored.

A few examples:

Originally
       New State of Being     Specification
FBI Agent -> Evil Sexy FBI Agent= Personality Reversal [Morals] you can't SEE morals.
Lady Knight-> Sexy Vampire= State of Being + Moral Alteration  worst of both worlds
Boy Wizard-> Evil Boy Wizard=Personality Reversal [Morals + Values] change that can't be seen, the effects of course can.
Plush Lion-> Gay Plush Lion=Personality Reveral [Sexual Preference] You can't see gender preference.
Fairy Princess= Fairy Princess= Personality Reversal [Loose Morals] Giselle, you can't be evil. That's just the truth of it.
Male Escort-> Misogynist= Personality Reversal [Gained Common Sense] Nothing wrong here, actually.

Results vary on a case to case basis. Most changes being internal, possibly neurological. While things are "reflected" that doesn't make them the very same subject from the beginning. Doctor and dentist should not be interchangeable. Who the hell writes these things?

Meaning that it is above this one? Below it? I love how the fountain is a reliable source of anything.

It's overlapping, I think.

We'd be able to see or at least have some sort of feel for it if there was a true overlap. I think all of this is a cop out.

Dr. House, normally all universes overlap each other, but we can't feel 'em. Why should this one be any different?

You say that like it is a fact.

[identity profile] lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it is. I went to other universes before I got here, stupid.

Okay, globetrotter. Than why isn't that you've never been to mine? I don't think that all worlds overlap. That's too big of an assumption.

Infinite number of them, and I only went to a handful... Besides, I've never been to New Denmark in any world, actually. So it's possible I went to yours, just a different part of it.

Sure there is. Continent across the atlantic from Europe?

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Canada and North America. A part of it was called New Amsterdam a few hundred odd years ago.

That's a big city on its coast.

That was a big city on the coast. Now it would be New York.

And it en't big anymore?

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's huge now.
