I always was so psychic or intuitive or poetic or whatever you want to call it, that I was seeing things in a hallucinatory way.
It was scary as a child, because there was nobody to relate to.
Q: I always found it interesting that John got married a month after you.
Paul: I think we spurred each other into marriage. They were very strong together which left me out of the picture, so then I got together with Linda and we got our own kind of strength. I think again that they were a little bit peeved that we got married first. (October, 1986)

The Chariot is a card of willpower, transformation, confidence and determination. It's a card of forward movement and action, determinedly pushing into victory and overcoming challenges. It's a card of intention and resolve, facing obstacles head-on and never backing down.
For Micah, her motorcycle is her chariot, a symbol of her sense of self and her sense of freedom. The wings and antlers are symbolic of both her past and the guiding forces in her life, as well as representing her status as 'Rook' and her place with the Whitetail Militia.
Instead of the traditional wand, she's holding scales, weighed with planes. The allusion to John is obvious, as is her precarious balance between the Resistance and the Project; her torn loyalties and her desire to balance them despite all odds being against her.
Her sphinxes are Boomer and Peaches, opposing forces of their own that she walks between, keeping them together and working smoothly, and earning the loyalty of difficult and varied personalities.
Ultimately, she's a harbinger to both the Project and the Resistance, a hero and villain to both sides of the conflict, desperately, and vainly, trying to forge a path to peace.
She fits both upright and reversed readings of the card, as torn as she is in an impossible scenario she can't win, yet she never quite gives up.
All my deepest heartfelt gratitude to @redreart for so beautifully bringing this concept to life for me. She took my idea and turned it into something beyond my wildest dreams. The details are so perfect, from the colors to Micah's hair... every little bit is all I could've asked for and more. Thank you for bringing my girl to life so incredibly! <3 If you get the opportunity for a commission, don't hesitate! <3 <3
I love the phrase “which could mean nothing”. It’s SUCH a good phrase and really succinctly explains the backbone of all rpf tinhatting. Aren’t all rpf ships exhibiting behaviours which could mean nothing?
I went to a John Lennon birthday celebration concert last night! Over 2 shows the band played 83 songs for what would have been John’s 83rd birthday.
I knew this performer was good Beatle people when he said: "Name someone cooler than John Lennon in 1966. You can't."
And by the fact he played "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)." And he introduced it by saying, "John Lennon was a pretty silly guy. This may be his silliest song."
