A consideration of all things marginal and fun! :mage: :woman_mage: :partying_face:

Our first installment asks the question:

Could you be friends with the Queen of Swords?

She’s crafty, she’s fast, and dang she might just be smarter than me. Does she like shopping for shoes? Could I love her? Would she play video games with me or walk on the beach in the moonlight? Does she like girl talk and throwing popcorn at the TV? Is she my twin flame? Would she even look at me? Could she be my bestie? Is she a girlie girl or maybe a bitch?

Best Girlfriend

Lover

  • Strengths: She’s capable of deep emotional connections but balances them with rational thought. Communication with her is straightforward and honest.

  • Strengths: Her sharp mind makes her an excellent strategist in games, whether they are board games or video games. She enjoys games that require tactical thinking and planning.
  • Challenges: Her competitive nature might sometimes make her overly intense, she likes games that engage her mind rather than those just for fun.

Adversary

I love this format! Would love to see more archetypes explored like this! An exercise I find fun, check the Destiny Cards of anyone you know to see if they have the Queen of Swords as their Birth Card (similar to Sun sign) or Ruler Card (similar to ascendant sign).
