Everytime I hear a conversation from team bolas is fun but honestly not that surprising for me cause I'm a mctrio fan (Aldo, Mariana and Roier) and the most light conversation they have is about having a circumcision together while they are holding hands
They prepared me for everything

in which my tarot deck advocates killing Jin Guangshan
I view tarot cards as a fun thought-focusing activity rather than a tool for divination, so when I draw a set of cards that seems random, I look for patterns and try to figure out other situations or people it could apply to, be they real or imaginary.
So today I present to you the cards I drew last night, which thankfully have zero application to my own life but DO give a spot-on reading for Jin Guangyao!
The spread I used is the WTF Spread found here, and oh my god, once I got to the third card, I was CACKLING. Let’s go through it!
(tl;dr the cards say TIME FOR PATRICIDE)
“WHAT THE” (the challenge at hand): Six of Wands upright
The Six of Wands is about accomplishments, success, and recognition. To quote the book that accompanied my deck: “This card indicates that you have approached your goals with strength, perseverance, and focus, and that others are taking notice. [...] With achievement and praise comes the expectation of future greatness. Get ready to take things to the next level.” It’s important to note that Wands as a suit is about creativity, so cleverness/resourcefulness is core to this particular type of success.
A very positive card, but it’s in the “problem” position, which means that the expected recognition has not been forthcoming. For example, maybe your dad still treats you like garbage even though you've gone above and beyond in everything from event planning to war crimes. What else do the cards say?
“ACTUAL” (what is real about the situation?): Two of Swords upright
The Two of Swords warns against avoidance or denial of difficult truths--hence the blindfold over the falcon’s eyes. Swords as a suit is about logic and decisiveness, so this card urges you to look at things objectively and take action. “Many major decisions involve pain, sacrifice, or sadness,” says the book. “Now is not the time to be emotional about your choices.“
JGY understands this--he says as much to NMJ in their final confrontation on the stairs--but he’s still clinging to the hope that JGS will accept him if he shows enough filial piety. Has literally any of that panned out, buddy? The cards say it’s time to face facts.
“FUCK” (what is not real about the situation?): Four of Pentacles reversed
The Four of Pentacles is about materialism--you’ve accumulated wealth, but you’ve alienated yourself from community and interpersonal connection. (So, you know, typical Jin behavior.) When reversed, it implies greed or a debilitating fear of losing wealth or material security. “Learn to set aside the fear, anxiety, and greed, and see wealth as just one facet of a healthy life,” the book advises.
Easier said than done if you grew up in poverty and have a chip on your shoulder! But this card is in the “what’s NOT true” position, reminding JGY that his situation is not as precarious as it was when he was Meng Yao. Maybe JGS is more of a threat than a safeguard.
“?” (where do I need more information?): Six of Cups reversed
Cups cards are about emotions, and the Six of Cups is generally a positive card about happy memories and childhood nostalgia. When it’s reversed, however... “You are clinging to your ideas or identity from the past or there are issues from your past from which you have not moved forward. Use your past as the guide to your future, but focus on the present and laying your foundations for the future.”
GOSH GOLLY, I WONDER HOW THIS COULD POSSIBLY RELATE TO JIN GUANGYAO!
The “more information” sought in this case would be, what course of action would best allow him to avenge honor his mother? It sure would be handy if JGS candidly stated his opinion of Meng Shi where JGY could hear it!
“!” (what can I do?): Knight of Pentacles reversed
Pentacles as a suit isn’t just about wealth; it’s about security. The Knight of Pentacles embodies responsibility and an affectionate sort of sturdiness. “The archetype represented by this knight is the dependable, strong, male protector and provider.” Reversed, it can mean that something--or someone, since court cards are often understood to represent people in your life--is not as dependable as you thought.
JGY had a Knight of Pentacles in NMJ until he didn’t. He had a Knight of Pentacles (but make it EVIL!) in WRH, but that was meant to be temporary. He wanted and expected his father to be the all-time Knight of Pentacles, but JGS never was and never will be. JGY is 2 for 3 on murdering failed Knights of Pentacles. This card says that it’s time to go for 100%.
