#the text going “your mind is muddled and dusty”

[izar-tarazed]

What tarot card are you?

The Moon

(for Izar) You avoid corners and doorways - do you know why? Have you looked inwards recently? Do you understand what is happening there? Your mind is muddled and dusty, a mirror you haven’t been able to clean properly. Smudging the nervousness just leaves streaks on the glass, which makes your face harder to see, which makes you nervous. What are you nervous of, darling? What keeps you up at night? Why haven’t you confronted it? Do you know what it is? Can you answer my questions? Are they making you nervous? Am I frightening you?

The Hermit

(for Ensha)

It’s a skill, to look inside yourself, one you have mastered. The endless corridors and shifting thoughts are mapped to very carefully. This all takes time, of course. And those twisting hallways are so very difficult to map. It would be so easy to get lost. You know this space so well. Wouldn’t it be a lovely place to stay? So well-known and comforting. Why go back? How nice, how easy, to dissolve, to hide from the rest of the world and all the people in it. Why bother, when you are so good at looking inside yourself. Like enlightenment, the self. Retreating this far inwards is like retreating just as far out, into the vast ether. So comforting. The thing that was you looks at the thing that was the old woman. There is no you anymore. Goodbye.

I was tagged by @equus-ferro​ to do this tarot quiz for an oc (10/10 quiz btw, didnt make me pick a song lyric even once, highly recommend).

Surprising absolutely no one, im sure, i got a little excited and did it for everyone. Decided to opt for a little photo project because a) fun! and b) if i was going to write it would take me three weeks, result in a wall of text, and i still wouldnt be happy with it.

XVIII - THE MOON

You aviod corners and doorways - do you know why? Have you looked inwards recently? Do  you understand what is happening there? Your mind is muddled and dusty, a mirror you haven’t been able to clean properly. Smudging the nervousness just leaves streaks on the glass, which makes your face harder to see, which makes you nervous. What are you nervous of, darling? What keeps you up at night? Why haven’t you confronted it? Do you know what it is? Can you answer my questions? Are they making you nervous? Am I frightening you?

V - THE HIEROPHANT

The plan is perfect in every way. Everyone where they need to be, at exactly the right moment, with exactly the right smile. You have moved and manipulated the situation, but did you remember to put yourself in the correct position? You, after all, are still a player in the game - whoever thinks they control  the pieces still has to make the next move eventually. Whoever is playing the game is still playing against an opponent. Ensure that they have not played better than you.
