this actually reminds me of fortune telling, or soothsaying. maybe. and you just did your tarot fic thing, so this is appropriate. how it's not about asking the universe for answers, it's letting the universe help YOU find answers. the universe can provide you with patterns or frameworks, and you're the one who reads them. actually, not even. YOU'RE the one providing yourself with patterns and frameworks, using what already IS. it's not that you're reading signs. it's not that you're making up the signs either. it's just that once you stop reading them, they CEASE to become signs. the frameworks and patterns of cards, palms, stars, entrails are just there to help you think things through. much like wordle is just... helping us to think about narnia.

like, maybe what it takes to be a seer is intelligence, an understanding of human nature, and a talent for metaphor. OR SOMETHING.

OH MY GOD SHOOT ME
