Revelry: The Tower

"where is the line between awakening and self destruction? is it thin? are you walking toward it? on it? already too far gone? there is nothing more disheartening than trying to find yourself, only to learn that you detest the person you've been looking for. can i tell you a secret? you are allowed to love yourself. required to, even. how can you go forward without it? make no mistake– it is not easy. but it is essential. you will get there, and it will be warm.

NUMBER: 16

UPRIGHT: sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening

REVERSED: personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster"

A better look at Revelry's head situation. Technically this entire upper body connected to the tongue is the real head of revelry. Nobody's quite sure why they ended up with an entire human torso as their human face, but it's there now!
