How do Bang Chan and Felix connect?
“Chan and Felix. What are the real connections between these two Aussies? Thank you!”
While Felix projects a lot of stress and insecurity, Bang Chan seems to be the one there to literally shine The Sun on him, point out flaws in his way of thinking and his way of perceiving himself. This may be more to do with work or insecurity towards what the audience thinks of him and thus creating this sort of repressed fear and anxiety around it. As such Bang Chan sees Felix as Justice reversed which is like him seeing Felix as having his conscious level balance, or his way of thinking, off-center. It’s not completely wrong like he’s not crazy or anything, he’s just not looking at things quite right or there’s no logic to some of what he comes up with and therefore Bang Chan needs to shine a light on those issues. In turn, Felix sees Bang Chan as the Queen of Swords which I was seeing as a personification of The Sun but in a way where it is purely perceived as an act of leadership and guidance.
Their energy mixes in the revered 9 of Wands, which I thought was kind of cool as it brings that 9 of Swords down and sets it on Fire (Wands = Fire) through The Sun and the Queen of Wands, essentially lighting up the flaws in the logic of that way of thinking. This then grounds those ideas, applies logic provided by Bang Chan, which then allows Felix to do away with them as the 9 of Wands reversed essentially turns off that distorted thinking.
Pretty much, Bang Chan is the provider within this connection, but I suppose that makes sense as he is older and also plays the role of the leader in the group, so I imagine he feels like he has a responsibility to do things like this. I also assume that is why Felix is percieving Bang Chan as the Queen of Wands in reference to The Sun.
