It went wrong again, and you're losing your motivation to keep trying.

The second card I drew for @malevolenttarotzine! Definitely the one that was hardest to manifest from my brain into a visual image, and I'm proud of how it came together.

The five of cups is about loss, grief, regret, and the impossibility of letting go. Your path has turned sharply, unexpectedly, and nothing is okay, and from this angle it's difficult to see any hints of hope around you. I wanted the unwritten music sheets, and open side of the bathroom, to be those hints of hope in this version of the card. You won't forget, but one day you will draw strength from this experience, and make it to the five of cups reversed: acceptance, recovery.

Five of Cups

It really pained me to give Fisher Tiger this card. I would have loved to put him on a more positive card, associated with change and compassion. The Five of Cups are about disappointment and things not going the way you want them to. Instead of turning towards a positive future, you’re dwelling on the past. Fisher Tigers story ends that way. Even though he managed to start a positive relationship between fishmen and humans, in the end he held on to his trauma and past experiences, which cost him his life.
