This is absolutely astounding oh my gosh. SANTA. I've already read through this twice and I'm both overwhelmed and utterly delighted. There is SO much here, things that make me smile and feel pride for this precious muffin and things that make me ache for him. I never would've thought doing a tarot spread for characters cold help lend so much insight, but it absolutely does. Both the 6 of Coins and the 4 of Coins fit him SO perfectly. Bitty's such a giver when it comes to listening and support (and baked goods!), but he also holds so much of himself back, mostly out of fear (which is tied into stuff with the 9 of Swords) and I love how this spread nails that.
I LOVE the Page of Cups in here because I pulled Bitty from canon in the spring of his frog year so he's STILL very much that overeager kid who's overwhelming himself a lot. It's tempered a bit now after Silent Darrow and he ABSOLUTELY has some 8 of Swords bringing him down at the moment too, but he does still want to do so much and try so hard.
There's so much optimism and light in this spread and I feel like that really embodies Bitty, too. Bitty absolutely struggles at letting people in enough to help him, he's FAR more comfortable being the caregiver and feels selfish when people have to care for HIM so overcoming that obstacle to let in someone and LET himself be loved (however much he wants it) is going to be so so though.
Also, the fact that his future/ending card is the Magician delights me on a TRC level too since that's canonically Adam's card.
UGH SERIOUSLY THIS IS SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL. I cannot get over this. CANNOT.
