OOC | Ernest's First Drawing
all cups!!! our boy's ~really struggling w his emotions!
ok so we got a ii, we got a queen reversed, and we got a iii reversed. ok, so imma just jump out on a limb and say this one's abt @helenaphillipsfv honestly lakdjsfkjdsf but not as ~love interest ~specifically, i ~think this is abt feeling that he betrayed her re: the brawl...and possibly a bit hurt/jealous since her affair w quentin?
ok, 2 is generally abt duality, dichotomy, partnership, and its upright, so he's feeling pr on par w that. in fact, in ancient parliance, this appears to be a mystical wedding of some sort, as sharing a drink was often an ancient part of such a ceremony (part of the point of tristan and iseult sharing a cup and falling in love)
ii of cups -- (upright) partnership. a romantic relationship or close personal alliance. interpersonal dynamics based on social norms. passion in a love relationship, which may turn against itself. (reversed) a crisis in a couple relationship, disappointment with someone close to you.
queen of cups -- (upright) a rich inner world which is kept hidden. guarding one's privacy or valuable assets. strong feelings held under control. (reversed) closure, defensiveness. distrust of others due to negative past experiences. hiding one's emotions under guise of rational criticism.
labyrinthos
iii of cups -- (upright) irth. something new brings joy and happiness. friendship. (reversed) similar.
ii of cups -- Upright: unity, partnership, connection Reversed: imbalance, broken communication, tension
queen of cups -- Upright: compassion, calm, comfort Reversed: martyrdom, insecurity, dependence
iii of cups -- Upright: friendship, community, happiness Reversed: overindulgence, gossip, isolation
so yeah, his romantic feelings as still completely fine and intact (ii of cups) but [ When the Queen of Cups appears in a reversed position, it signifies emotional immaturity and insecurity. You may feel overly sensitive or lack trust in yourself and others. This card serves as a reminder to avoid bitterness or vindictiveness when things don't go as planned. ] but i think he ~is feeling a bit jealous/wounded re the whole quentin affair. honestly i don't think its ~surprise, from the sounds of things that's pr par for the course, but i think it's more symbolic that he ruined her chances of achieving what she'd ~hoped to achieve, and the result is that the whole circus is at odds. he maybe feels responsible? but lets check out our iii of cups.
three young women dance together, holding aloft a chalice each, their gazes turned upward as they laugh. but reversed, they pour out their cups. friendship turning sour, perhaps? imma look it up [

You may be involved with someone who is already in a relationship with someone else, whether you know it or not."
so i think he feels he's burned and ~been burned, and now he's kinda thinking that maybe?? he should try to pull back a lil before they hurt eo more?? but that's making him feel so down, he kinda feels like he wants to withdraw from ~everything, and that has him in that overindulgence vs over-working himself cycle the iii of cups reversed ~also suggests :( so some fun times over here! aklsjdflkjsdf
