The fortune teller sighs.

Heavily.

"The Dumpster Fire doesn't literally represent a dumpster fire," she said in an exasperated tone. "See? It's not even upside down."

She flips the next three cards. The Tower, The Devil, Death.

"Oh, you're fucked."

By my understanding, the two worst Tarot cards to draw are the Ten of Swords and the Reversed Tower.

It's the Tower card and it's never fun.

“🥺 Oh, no! Oh, NO!!! Oh—wait a minute. Is this about my love life, or the Nintendo Switch successor’s year-one lineup? Tell me NOW. I can handle one over the other, but not BOTH.”

When the deck needs something WORSE than the Death card.

The Tower card would be closer. It stands for calamity, destruction, etc
The Death card is more about transition

If I understand right, The Tower represents a major disruptions that will upend your life. So not necessarily bad (though it can be bad and often is), but unambiguously unpleasant.

You nailed it. Ultimately there are no “bad” cards as all phases in life serve a purpose. Tower moments are challenging, unpleasant, and usually indicate collateral damage. But alas, from the ruins we rebuild🫶

...now I need a tarot deck that's been modernized with more up to date archetypes, possibly using memes... 🤔

givemegrace.bsky.social•111 days ago

So what we really need is an Apocalypse card? Beyond calamity and destruction?

missfml.bsky.social•111 days ago

Death card is not a scary or “bad” card!! It’s a sign of rebirth and transformation. Tower, 7, 8, 10 of swords are all far worse lol.
