Yes/No (maybe)

[reloaded]

Think about your question, focus on it and pick a card!

Uncovered cards at the bottom

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

★⊰ 1. The Chariot (VII)

Maybe - you'd better have a plan ready and put forth all of your efforts! Just like the Charioteer must control the Chariot with determination, so do you if you want to win this race.

★⊰ 2. The High Priestess (II)

Maybe - you need to detach yourself from the situation to observe it from afar and to gain a better comprehension of it. Ask yourself what are the reasons behind this situation. Follow your subconscious.

★⊰ 3. Strength (XI)

Yes - you are full of Strength, either physical or spiritual (or both), don’t give up now! Face the aggression of others with composure and tranquility.

★⊰ 4. The Sun (XIX)

Yes - success and victory are the keywords of the Sun. Believe in your abilities, act with confidence for the Sun shines upon you.

★⊰ 5. Death (XIII)

Maybe - if you're asking for a change, then yes, things will drastically change, although how, it depends on you. You need to be ready to let go of everything old in order to be reborn into the new.

★⊰ 6. The World (XXII)

Yes - complete realization, success. It’s time to celebrate and to be open to the World.

★⊰ 7. The Moon (XVIII)

No - there are some hidden things you don't know yet. Don’t act but be prepared for a rough time. It's not the right moment for direct action. Don't reveal your plans, meditate and use your intuitions. Beware of illusions.

★⊰ 8. The Fool (0)

Yes - optimistic, new energies are on your way. Don't mind what people think of you, just go straight down the path you chose. Don't worry and trust your instincts. The Fool is particularly favorable for fresh starts.

★⊰ 9. The Lovers (VI)

Maybe - if you're torn between choices, remember that's crucial to honor both your responsibilities and what your heart desires. Take the opportunity to do some introspection and to reflect on what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. Self-love and acceptance are important.

★⊰ 10. The Hanged Man (XII)

No - or rather, not yet. Things are not ready yet, a new perspective is required, a new point of view. Right now it's not the right time to act, but it's the time to make yourself ready for when the time is ripe.

★⊰ 11. The Hermit (IX)

No - things are moving very slowly. You need some time alone to examine the situation. Caution and patience are necessary.

★⊰ 12. Judgement (XX)

Maybe - you need to re-evaluate the past, to find new answers for the future. Learn from past mistakes and ask yourself what needs to change and what you really want. Pay attention to details.

★⊰ 13. The Wheel (X)

Maybe - will things change? Yes. Will it be for the best? It's impossible to tell. The Wheel spins and you can’t control when and where it’ll stop. It's all up to fate.

★⊰ 14. Justice (VIII)

Maybe - you need to evaluate both your actions and others'. Ask yourself what will be the effects of your decisions, and reflect upon their consequences. Face your own responsibilities. If you are absolutely sure you are on the right side of things, then this is a yes.

★⊰ 15. The Devil (XV)

No - some heavy chains hold you down right now, whether it be fears, addictions, or illusions. You feel yourself trapped by this situation; you need to evaluate the nature of these chains before proceeding.

★⊰ 16. The Hierophant (V)

Maybe - the Hierophant invites you to follow known paths and to stick with traditional thinking; he also encourages you to seek advice from a mentor. Follow the highest moral path.

★⊰ 17. The Star (XVII)

Yes - "Relax, for everything will be fine", this is what the Star seems to tell you. If you have to make a choice, choose what makes you feel most at peace. Hope, healing, serenity.

★⊰ 18. The Empress (III)

Yes - the Empress is the embodiment of abundance and creation. You will be successful, especially if your request has something to do with starting something new or with creativity. Many good options are ahead of you.

★⊰ 20. Temperance (XIV)

Yes - there will be peace and harmony but Temperance urges you to follow your intuition and to proceed with caution, to proceed with balance and moderation. Be patient and choose a gentle approach.

★⊰ 19. The Tower (XVI)

Maybe - it’s a maybe closer to a no. The Tower encourages you to let go of any emotional bonds or attachments you may have, and let it all fall down. Break the past, act fast and violently (metaphorically speaking!); only if you can do all of this you'll be able to reach your goals.

★⊰ 21. The Emperor (IV)

Yes - the Emperor is stability, rationalism and structure. Your request will have a positive outcome, particularly if it pertains to materiality. Changes will be slow but steady. Remember that self-discipline is essential. It may take leadership and willpower.

★⊰ 22. The Magician (I)

Yes - you have the power to realize everything you want. Don’t wait for things to work themselves out, make plans and put them into action now.

arcane giving us two gay divorces in 3 episodes...one word i have to describe this season is homophobic

[ellorgast]

The thing that I think really sets Murderbot apart from a lot of other robot media (particularly mainstream entries like the I, Robot movie) is that bots and constructs aren't a uniquely oppressed class, and humans aren't a uniquely privileged one. A lot of robot media rings a bit hollow because it portrays humans as all living a lavish, comfortable lifestyle, free from the burden of physical labor or control by their corporate overlords, and it's like. I think if the rise of generative AI has proven anything, it's that corporations and billionaires have absolutely no interest in making life easier for anybody, but will gleefully use new technology to make life infinitely worse if it means an extra buck in their pocket.

We are shown over and over again throughout the Murderbot Diaries that humans are mistreated just as badly as (or sometimes, in MB's own opinion, even worse than) bots and constructs. We see humans stripped of their rights, reduced to corporate assets to be bought and sold, sent into suicidal situations, abandoned and discarded as things. We see humans trapped in multigenerational labor contracts -- people born into an indentured servitude that requires them to pay back their food and lodging to the same company that will not let them leave.

None of these are hypothetical scenarios. These are all things that happen to real people in our world today.

And that is a huge part of why it resonates so much. The overarching theme of "capitalism is hell" actually means something because it isn't only applied to the fictional dynamic of bots vs humans. The theme is constantly reiterated through the humans themselves.

And that's also why it's so important that MB demonstrates empathy for and solidarity with humans who are themselves victims of the system. Because ultimately, that's one of the main things the series is about. It's about what it's like to be simultaneously a product, and victim, of a corporate hellscape.

That theme simply can't work if the humans aren't also forced to navigate that issue. If the story can't acknowledge that right now, in our own world, there are humans facing these same problems, and that these human rights matter quite a bit.
