That last note cracks me up each time.

Queen of Pentacles and Knight of Swords
You were trying to have a nice quiet day at home, when an agitated person showed up and demanded that you pay attention to them.
After all these years I finally have the complete original yugioh manga! I’ve only ever gotten to read parts of it in the shonen jump magazines I got when I was a kid so this will be a real treat! I got the 3-in-1 omnibus editions and they are so cool!
I just finished the first volume and here’s my favourite out of context highlights:
Last one is my favourite, really gives off the vibes of:

We’re not making out of the cyberpunk dystopia huh
You guys really need to understand that this is not a fucking dog
This is such a good example of why we need to be very self aware about our fiction.
Sentient robots that deserve rights and love are fictional. We made them up in stories.
Now, it's my favorite kind of fiction. I love it. But it's not real. It's a metaphor for oppressed human beings.
Sentient AI doesn't exist. There are corporations, and maybe even someday governments, who will want to convince you that it does, now and in the future.
Replikas don't care about you and that robot dog is a military weapon.
This is ironic 'cause military and police robot "dogs" (and the other robots they build) are built to do harm to oppressed people.
Yeah, the very people that are represented metaphorically in fiction by robots and androids.
Fiction is fun, and I love fictional robots with my whole heart. But I am not about to let it make me stupid about real life. :)
These things are not your friends. They are machines that will be used to hurt you and to hurt others. Do not fall for the propaganda that these things are just fun little friends! The above articles are the reality. Sorry.

The funniest thing in the world to me is when people write mermaids that are bothered by humans eating fish. Like do you think fish don’t eat each other? The ocean is full of little freaks that will eat whatever or whoever the fuck will fit in their mouths. If the mermaids haven’t been eating fish this whole time what do you think they’ve been eating? If the answer is humans, that doesn’t make it any less funny. They’ll eat the species that looks like the top half of them but won’t eat a species that looks like the bottom half? Peak comedy.

sesame street tarot
I love this dude. This is a masterful demonstration of cartomancy, even from an anti-theist standpoint. This person is able to understand and apply esoteric meanings to the sesame street cards on the fly, and assemble their oddball symbology into a coherent method of magic that produces reasonable advice.
Thoughts on this?
Completely valid! You can do divination with anything. Literally with anything. A really good reader could probably look at cat’s litter box and read your future or fortune from it.
For cards, any deck does: tarot, a Lenormand deck, a playing cards deck or an oracle deck. Other options to use for divination like in the video are amulets (a bag full of trinkets you read), stickers, regular postcards, collectible cards (like Magic the Gathering or Pokemon), and hand written notes you can do yourself.
Even I have a card deck with is just small postcards of bunnies. I use it regularly in my readings, both for myself and my clients. I plan to buy a few more of such small postcard sets for divination.
If you want to dive even deeper into divination, there are probably millions of ways to read messages; pendulum, runes, eggs, blood, ink, water, fire, candles, candle wax, nature like cloud scrying, bones (bone tossing), tea leaves, coffee grounds, dice, mirrors (esp. scrying mirrors), astrology, facial features, palm reading, photos of people, items belonging to the person who is getting the reading, picking self written words out from a bag, 8 ball... I personally even use coin tossing for quick YES/NO questions.
Whatever works for you, have fun with it :3 As long as you and the device you are using speak the same language, anything goes.
