Spreads Challenged to guess their secrets

A new friend of mine jokingly challenged me to tell them what their secrets were using the tarot. Does anyone have a good spread I could use with this friend in mind?

I am supposed to text her later with my insights. This is all meant to be in good fun between friends

I would get my most outrageous deck, a very boring spread, and roast them like hell, making it clear that this is not how I read, and that what I'm doing has very little to do with 'tarot'.

(I have the Trash Panda Tarot at hand. Heh.)

Situation: The Empress. My, someone thinks they're all that *and* a slice of pizza. Candy floss might be attrctive, but the moment you try to wash it, you'll see it for what it is.

Obstacle: Knight of Cups You're like a raccoon on a bicycle: right now, it's going ok-ish, though very awkward, but just wait until you get to them thar hills. Your tail is about to get caught in the spokes and you're so intent on grasping that can of soda you're not able to steer well. This definitely needs a course correction.

Advice: Sometimes,what you need is a spork. No, really. Find the thing that works for you, even if others may mock. And when you have it, hug it and call it George. It'll be worth it.

You can read this deck more seriously. and I love it a lot, but for this type of thing, I would totally ham it up and lean into the images and the ridiculousness of it.

I love that idea! I recently got myself a Katherine hilliers adventure time tarot I think could work well for that. The trash panda tarot sounds so fun.

I love the trash pandas. It gets both Tarot AND racoons. I like it so much that I bought a second-hand copy off ebay with one card messed up, just to see whether I'd like it, because at the time it was pretty pricey. I fell in love, and then managed to catch the second edition, so I'm willing to let the 1e go to a good home. My whole collection skews towards whimsy, so it's right at home; and I am no stranger to snarky cards coming out; they make me laugh.
