Many of those movies/shows are very good and I like them but the whole time I'm feeling like it's tragic in a way. The thought of a creature giving up its otherness to assimilate into humanity is really fuckin sad to me. Or a human getting the chance to be something else freaking out and rejecting it.

You should watch/read: HIKARU GA SHINDA NATSU

...if animanga is your thing, of course!

Allow me to directly illustrate my point with some pages from the manga:

And that's what the story does. Takes a nonhuman character, places them into the human world, shows what would come of it, and subsequently tells that trying to make them human is going against their nature, the harm of which is obvious. You know, almost like with conversion therapy--a comparison I'm not shy to make here because the story also takes monsterhood and makes it an allegory for queerness/the queer experience while it's at it. As explicit as an allegory can be.

It's good. It's also about grief, which has drawn me the most initially. Its genre is horror. And amidst all that it still finds place for hope and appreciation towards the nonhuman character.

Tarot is a fantastic tool for reflection and insight, but it's not meant to answer every type of question with equal clarity. Some questions are just more helpful than others once you really get into the medium. Here are some simple suggestions on how to get the most out of your more basic questions in a way that's more helpful.

How will X go for me? -> What do I need to get the most success out of X?

What does X think of me? -> What is the energy like between us currently? What can I do to improve it, should I want to?

Should I choose X or Y? -> What will X and Y each ask of me? What rewards and challenges will I face in either direction?

Past/Present/Future -> What aspect of my past is most relevant to my present? What energy am I currently exuding? Where is that leading me?

Basically, you want questions that put the power back in the querent's hands to act upon the reading. Things that help you make a more informed decision rather than just being told the answer.
