Acting on your best behavior/ Turn your back on Mother Nature/ Everybody wants to rule the world. The King of Swords weirds me out. I’m scared of some cards, wary of others, and on rocky terms with a bunch more, but this is different. Part of it is that the only way I know how to describe the King of Swords is in relation to other cards. She’s like a crossover ep of The Emperor and the Knight of Swords. The Emperor: a great leader, but young and foolish and privileged and has to be reminded that what’s best for the greatest number of people is not actually what’s best for the world. The Knight of Swords: charging towards what they want, swinging their sword precisely to remove anything in their way, not paying attention to what they’re cutting. Neither are cruel on purpose, but their carelessness and self-centeredness makes purpose not matter much. The King of Swords is more aware of the danger their leadership can pose to others. They’re mature, calculated in their moves and motions. But maturity isn’t the same as morality, and if the King of Swords has shitty values they can be incredibly dangerous.
