32. Which member of the Court is a bit of a sore loser?

32. Which member of the Court is a bit of a sore loser?

 

The Knight of Pentacles. because he is different than the other Knights. He prefers to stay in his Kingdom. The other Knights want adventures and are fast.

I don't think any of them would like losing, but King of Swords would probably have a lot more difficulty than most. I'm not sure he'd recover from the shock-horror of losing, actually.

 

The Knight of Wands also comes to mind - all that effort and he loses? I could see him throwing himself down on the ground, hand curled over brow and banging his head on the ground and muttering all sorts of criticisms about himself. That would go on for a while too.

 

Queen of Pentacles would retreat into a stony silence wondering how THAT had happened.

 

Actually, I really don't think there's any court card that would like losing. They'd all have different reactions, that's all. :)

Knight of Wands ... fiery temper and all.

[~D~]

Knight of pentacles reversed Rx...bull headed?  sorry any Knight of Pents out there...

[EmpyreanKnight]

Yup, the Knight of Wands can be quite hot-headed.

[Cobweb]

Surely nobody likes losing and it's just that some people hide it better?  (Or does that say more about me than about the court cards?    ;D )

 

Knight of Wands for me.  Driven, competitive, emotional, hot tempered.  Not yet got the maturity of the Queen or King to control his reaction so much.

[Saturn Celeste]

Another Knight of Wands here!  ^-^

[Avalon]

Knight of Wands +1

[Thoughtful]

l would add the Knight of Swords as a sore loser, he is impulsive with a large ego and always knows better than you.

 

But he will have  calmed down a lot when he grows into the King Swords and starts seeing life in a more educated way.

[Oumee]

I do not think that one (or more) from court people is/are a loser.

I think the Knight of Wands has the potential to be seen as a sore loser. The Knight of Wands could claim that the competition wasn’t fair as well as storming out and holding a grudge towards the winner.

Ha, yes. I know this type. Love to play until the tide of the game goes against them, then even finishing the thing means putting up with the scowls.

 

I'd say perhaps the Queen of Swords too, though she might not let it show, and it depends on the game. She's pretty fond of her own intelligence, and likes to be the smartest person in the room, so particularly doesn't like to lose at quizzes, and considers games of chance a little beneath her.

And, I see the Queen of Wands reversed as one having the potential to be seen as a sore loser.  She is definitely one who would be angry if she did not win and do her best to get even.  I could even see her cheating at things in order to come out as a winner.  You do not want to cross a Queen of Wands reversed!

My first thought was King of Wands.
Personally, I don't see the Knight of Wands wasting time and energy on being ”sore” after a loss. I mean, they are starting so much, changing mind and direction so often – they are taking mishaps into their stride.

I would think the Knight of Swords, or maybe even the Page of Swords, as being a sore loser feels like an immature quality that a page might have. I feel like the Knight might have a hard time accepting or admitting that they even lost, but if they did, they would certainly not be happy about. Swords feels like the suit most focused on winning/losing, and it would be the less developed cards that I would think would not handle losing well.
