☁️completion & achievement⛅
Fun fact: I can't listen to this song from the AAA score without tearing up a lil bit 😅 and it's all because of the feeling that coincides with the meaning behind this card.

The World is the last card in the major arcana for a reason - it signifies accomplishing the end of a journey, reaching a milestone; essentially, levelling up.
The symantic descriptions of this card I don't think do it justice, though. For me, this card is very strongly associated with the feeling that comes with such an achievement. The long exhale with a smile. Being able to say "wow, I made it!". Turning around at the top of the mountain to see just how far you've come. A feeling deep inside that you've learnt and grown along with your achievement.
I remember experiencing this intensely positive feeling for the first time in late 2024, after journeying round the west coast by myself for 6 months. During that time, I learnt so much about myself, how to be alone, and why I've made the decisions I have. I saw my personal journey accurately reflected in Agatha's (which is a big part of why the series remains very special to me) and I was able to figure out which parts of my life I was still self-sabotaging. Having figured all that out, and being able to look back on that journey, was like no feeling I've ever experienced.
I finished this pot now because it's coming into dry season up here in the tropics. This time of year always fills me with a similar kind of relieved "we made it" feeling, which is how this weekend has felt so far. Things are finally looking up 😁
***AAA spoilers***
I primarily based this pot off the merch deck, because they got this card totally spot-on.
I get teary during the scenes with *that* version of Agatha because they represent her experiencing the above feeling for the very first time. She's levelled up. She's accepted her fate. She's finally able to talk about her trauma in a healthy way. After centuries, she finally found the inner peace she was missing all her life. That episode came out about the same time that I was also newly experiencing that feeling, which just makes it all the more special for me.
