Taiwanese Psychic

Husband: Do you do political readings?

TW Psychic: Yes. I can do that.

Husband: What can you see… not this election cycle, but the next one? In maybe 10 ten years’ time? for Taiwan?

TW Psychic: The current party is not going to stay in power. A new kid on the block. Maybe like a… Donald Trump Jr but he’s much, much nicer. I mean, DTJ is okay (relatively) but this guy is even better. He’s really, really nice, down to earth. He’s fair. He’s a good guy. Maybe he will have some haters, but generally — he’s a good guy.

Husband: What about the opposition?

TW Psychic: Oh… I’m sensing something from the Ancestors… Oh… these two are very similar. Almost like… brothers… they are… so similar… they don’t have the same last name. But they are SO SIMILAR! It’s just a difference of opinion. And their outward appearance is not similar — but — YOU will find BOTH of them “familiar looking” — they are family. For some reason. They are family, I’m getting from the Ancestors — yes, they are family. (Chuckles — this is an interesting reading!)

I’m getting that… they have known each other since… young boys… they have, actually played together, as young boys… they have been in the same room, oftentimes, as young boys. They are little friends… They might not ever talk about it in public. But they were also old enough, as young boys, to remember this little friendship.

They played together as little kids amongst themselves, and with YOUR WIFE?! and her brother, too?! And many other cousins. There were many friendly gatherings amongst wider family networks. It was easy to have a BIG BLOCK PARTY! And everyone was invited!

They are kin. They are brothers. Like cousins. They are like cousin-brothers.

Husband: (Wide-eyed… this is a lot of information to take in)

TW Psychic: Do you know anybody who’s like a cousin-brother to you?

Husband: (Getting defensive) Maybe, maybe not. Why are you talking about me? It’s just a political reading, this has nothing to do with me. I just want to know about the politics.

TW Psychic: Okay, well, I was trying to get at… IF YOU COULD IMAGINE… having a cousin-brother… and then, when you’re both older, you kind of decided together — “This world is a mess. Let’s do this together. From opposing sides. We can be fair. We can make this work” — it was already agreed upon that it would work.

Husband: But… how did they even get any ideas about politics in the first place?!

TW Psychic: Both sets of parents are very motivating. Unfortunately, most of the parents have passed away… so they really, really listen to… YOUR WIFE’S MOTHER AND FATHER?!?!? I’m totally getting an immediate download from the Ancestors right now… YOUR WIFE’S MOTHER AND FATHER ARE LIKE — GODPARENTS TO BOTH OF THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Husband: (Can’t hide his laughter and giggles) What?!?!

(Immediately receives a text from Wifey):

This is definitely sensationalized. Whatever messages you’re getting from a fictionalized PSYCHIC is just me going off on a narrative tangent for entertainment.

TW Psychic: I’m being told by the Ancestors that I can’t give you too many more details. I can let you know more poetically…

A Christian.
A Buddhist.
Left. Right. Left. Right.
Service. Honour. Sacrifice.
Parents proudly blessing
from Beyond.
Other realms, other Ancestors
Blessings and blessings,
spiritual protections.
Peace in the region.
The goal is always
Peace in the region.

Husband: (Digesting this new information)… What about… me? I’m wondering, okay, my wife said we’ll be on stage at the “historic moment” — can you see it?

TW Psychic: Yes. Yes. I’m being permitted to tell you this.

The FIRST historic moment, you will have Black hair.

The SECOND historic moment, you will have Blonde hair.

That’s all that I’m allowed to say.

Husband: (Laughing) Black hair, then blonde hair?

TW Psychic: Nodding. And most people won’t even recognise you. Only a small group of superfans. And there’s not that many in this country. Most of your fans in Taiwan are just normal “fans” — they appreciate your genre, but they’re not following everything every day or anything to do with your gossip. They won’t even recognise your wife, they’ll say amongst themselves, “Who’s that lady?” And not even make the connection that it’s you standing up there with Black Hair. By the time you are up there with Blonde hair, it’ll be a little more obvious.

Husband: If Black Hair wins the first round… that means they are like… Taiwanese Republicans?

TW Psychic: (Shrugs shoulders) maybe?!

Husband: And if Blonde Hair wins the second round… they are like, Taiwanese… Democrats?!

TW Psychic: (Shrugs shoulders) All I know is the colour of your hair. I can’t tell you anything else. The Ancestors won’t allow it.
