The Card
Ah, Strength. What can I say about Strength? I mean, it's a pretty straight forward card. It encompasses all types of strength including
Like, let's just take a moment and talk about why dragons are the best magical creature ever.
They are GIANT LIZARDS that BREATHE FIRE and FLY.
End of discussion.
And see, my fairy has so clearly tamed this particular dragon, I'm sorry but I'm going to say it again, LIKE A BOSS. And, I don't know if you'll agree with me, but Dragons > Lions anyday because although Lions are giant cats, they neither breathe fire nor fly.
Anyway, enough of this dragon talk because it's time for
The Process
In Conclusion,
Hakuna Matata just came on the Pandora!
What more could you really ask for?

Physical Strength
He's the strongest man I know
Mental Strength
How you doin'?
And of course, the elusive
Inner Strength
Yeah, I said it
Traditionally, the Strength card of a tarot deck shows a woman taming a lion LIKE A BOSS, but, as we've already seen and discussed throughout the course of this blog, fairies go by their own set of rules. And they can't be bothered with real creatures like lions. Instead, my fairy is taming a
BAM!
DRAGON!
Now I don't know about you, but I happen to think that
Dragons
Are
AMAZING

So I'm not sure if you got this, but I was all excited about exploring the possibilities of what a dragon can represent in a dramatic work. Because the only thing scarier or more powerful than an actual dragon is the person who holds an inner dragon within them.
Because the Universe so desperately wants me to write a graveyard play, I just automatically began in a graveyard. I'm not going to fight it because Why? It's a good enough subject, lots of stuff happens in graveyards, and it's something I'm morbidly interested in anyway. Because we can't live without Death, without walking side by side holding Death's hand every moment that breath leaks out of our bodies. It's just the way it is.
Anywho, here's a picture of my dog surrounded by all her toys to make up for the above paragraph:
Where's Vivi?!
And here is
An Excerpt!
MAN 2
I never want to die.
MAN
Oh, come on
MAN 2
I don’t.
MAN
You want to live forever?
MAN 2
Sure. More people
should.
MAN
Sure.
MAN 2
I’ve just decided.
MAN
What?
MAN 2
I’m never going to die.
MAN
Oh yeah?
MAN 2
Yeah.
Most definitely, yeah.
MAN
How?
MAN 2
I will refuse.
Request denied.
MAN
You’re going to fend off impending death by refusing to
die?
MAN 2
Yes.
MAN
You think that’s going to work?
MAN 2
Yes.
MAN
I don’t think that’s how life works
MAN 2
Nobody’s ever put their MIND to it before.
You just watch, you know how people are always like Stay
with me, just stay with me and then they die because they close their eyes or
whatever, I’m gonna totally STAY. I won’t
be going anywhere.
MAN
Which is why you died with your eyes wide open.
[MAN 2 disappears. MAN just
sits at the grave]
MAN
I wish you had tried harder.
I miss you.
In Conclusion,
Hakuna Matata just came on the Pandora!
What more could you really ask for?
