Classes And The Hero's Journey

Classes and the Hero's Journey

Not too long ago I spent way too long on a thing that required that I quantify and scale and match up the god tier aspects and classes and make sense of them. It took hours, and I’m pretty sure I can say that the best thing I got out of it was a clear line graph of active-to-passive classes.

From most passive to most active, the scale is this:

Muse, Heir, Bard, Seer, Page, Sylph, Rogue, Thief, Maid, Knight, Mage, Prince, Witch, Lord.

Some things here people will contest. It’s a point of contention, for example, that Sylph and Rogue are passive, or that Mage is active.

EDIT: Changed the scale slightly, added more analysis, reworked wording, and cleaned up things I found messily written for more comprehensive analysis and stuff. Aspect thing is still frustratingly elusive, but will eventually show up.

PARTY NIGHT 🕺🪩🦚‼️

smth possessed me 🦋

as annoying as it is to see the doctor be rude to martha in series 3, it is kind of funny when you remember how it's because he's trying not to get attatched.

it's almost paradoxical, his meanness is a testament to just how much he likes her. he's trying so hard because he's already fallen hook line and sinker. and i don't mean in that sexist trope of 'if a boy is unkind it means he likes you" as a means of attention seeking, im talking about the doctor was actively trying not to get attatched to her, almost incapable of finding a middle ground.

he tries so very hard at the end of 'smith and jones' to be like 'one trip only' 😡 but right after this 'one trip only' he's like "can we extend it" 🤓.

but then when martha brings up gallifrey he's like uh oh lie lie lie lie abort abort abort! he then loses her, gets her kidnapped and is pretty much forced to acknowledge that he does like her and is attatched and doesn't want the doctor/martha duo to be over before it started. this specifically is fact, not my own interpretation, as it is said both on the dvd commentary and confidential. 'gridlock' is the episode where he realises just how much he cares about martha. it's the episode where he is acknowledging it, and not trying his hardest to act like he doesn't care for her at all because it's only one trip. i mean come on look at his face!

why else does the function of the episode act as the doctor quote literally running after her, shouting her name, and seeking her, jumping from car to car in an effort to find her. he is pursuing her.

this is why he says stuff like "never waste time on a hug" he's like noooop no get attahced me nooooo.

why at the end of the manhattan two parter when martha's like "i guess love isn't dead" he's all like yes it IS martha!

he's as stubborn as an ox but does. not. want. to. leave. her. which is why he hilariously goes through with the whole dumping her back home thing only to pop back seconds later. i counted. he made it a grand total of 30 seconds before he came right back and used lazarus as an excuse.

then at the end he's like "whaddya say, fancy another trip? 😏"

a deeply unserious man.

who try as he might, cannot stay away from her. why do you think at the end of the series she leaves him and not the other way around?
