Mrs. Mumblecrust’s card is all about how the pressures of
society can cramp your style.
You see now, the second grade teacher Mrs. Mumblecrust was a petty lil’ dictator of good behavior. The self-appointed spokesperson for letting the ordinary world swallow your dreams. All obedience and no imagination, Mrs. Mumblecrust was one of Caelum’s least favorite people, and lemme tell ya, she wasn’t a big fan of Caelum neither.
If you’ve drawn this card, you might be in danger of caving to the kinds of pressures that are mostly made up by people who don’t got nothing better to do than get obsessed with the way things are “supposed to be.” Or in danger of getting stuck in situations that are high on pomp and ceremony but low on heart.
Sometimes we cut off parts of ourselves to please the world, when opening up and expressing those parts could help us find folks that appreciate us for who we really are.
If you’ve drawn this card, you might oughta ask yourself if you’re obediently upholding a standard that you’d prefer to toss out back and feed to the turkeys.
Cause the pressures of society can walk in talking like they’re some typa irrefutable gospel, when really they’re just a bunch of made up rules.
So this card…this card is here to suggest that now might be a good time for you to annoy Mrs. Mumblecrust by making up a few rules of your own.
