I've been getting really into tarot lately to help apply everything I've learned in years of therapy in a less clinically sterile way. I've got a notebook full of cultural and traditional references for each tarot card (among other esoteric spiritual practices like astrology and tasseography). These last few weeks I've been getting together internet shitposts, memes, and copypastas to sprinkle in. Some of them are also cartoon and other media quotes. Here's a few highlights (there's usually separate quotes for upright and inverted versions of the same card):
The fool (rev): Consider learning chemistry by mixing the stuff under the sink. -Twitter user JohnXuandou, to people getting mad over Bridget's gender in Guilty Gear
The Magician: I’ve got a date with destiny and it ain’t gonna end with a kiss. -Candace, Phineas & Ferb ("The Belly of the Beast/Moon Farm")
