#-analysis and you'll all be sorry /lh

ok this isnt really a square but im gonna try to slap my thouughts together on it rn so its like

rei/mayoi: supernatural attributes, disconnected from society due to heritage

mayoi/madara: guilt about them being too "impure/dark" to interact with others

tatsumi/rei: saint complex

madara/rei: guilt over hurting a younger sibling, vulnerability issuses

mayoi/tatsumi: mutual acceptance of the other's "darker side"

if i had the mental spoons i would make a rei-mayoi-madara-tatsumi comparison square....

i dont know if this makes sense to anyone else or if its just me. but villainous thing by shayfer james is So perfect for your hels to pay au. like

"welcome, won't you come inside?"- can be a lot of things, like atlas's welcoming facade to tango and bravo to get them into his trap, and also the whole 'smiling while i beat the everloving Shit out of you" vibe of papa al's mansion

"suddenly you're very near as i prefer you"- atlas keeping tango imprisoned so he can keep his property

"you have always been a delicate disaster / fine of fire and of frame"- other than just the fire part writing itself. i think this can mean the amount of tests hels tek had to do to break tango and just atlas kinda knowing tango doesnt like him but he doesnt rly care

"oh dear, let me see those smokey eyes / 'cause you're a villainous thing / and we cant have you living a lie"- the ...racism?? idk hybrid discrimination all around hels tek aka. how atlas doesnt care abt tango as a person bc of his blaze roots. also just like smokey eyes?? the fire imagery in this song is AH

"while they wait by gates of pearl / we'll be building castles in purgatory"- THIS IS HELS. also this can mean papa al's mansion, hels tek, and any other like monolith in hels bc while everyone else is scraping by to survive they have all the power

"and you'll find no ever after here / it's clear this isn't what you came for / i'll be your puckish puppeteer / on this delightful little detour"- atlas trying to pitch his uh. business model to bravo. aka asking him to do the bidding of hels tek with a promise that he can go to hermitcraft

SORRY IF THIS ASK IS TOO LONG I JUST GOT RLY EXCITED WHEN I LISTENED TO THIS SONG (its very good. also i think the general tone/vibe of it matches with that nasty showman glamour.)

and i love your au, it snuck in the walls of my brain and camped out there so uh thanks LOL /lh <33

OHHHH his this is so cool!!! i’ve never heard shayfer james before, that song has some really cool jaunty vibes 💃 and YESSS i can absolutely see this fitting the au!! atlas in particular matches so well with that shady showman feel like you said, and your analysis is spot on.

and BTDUBS don’t apologize for sending long stuff like this y’all, i absolutely love it!! warms my heart to know ppl enjoy the au <3

So I am the Eridan that wanted the tarot reading with Kankri and I asked for it because I don’t remember it all that well though you are correct about it being non romantic I will admit I had first though he was Karkat before I realised how different their voices were and that Kar wouldn’t wear his blood colour like that and our personalities weren’t the best to come together but also at that time I had messed many things up and with Kankri’s ability to I need a new message to complete this

so with his ability to talk to anyone regardless if they want to talk or not somehow it felt to me like we became close (though we both had out emotional outbursts me more often than him with our somewhat clashing personalities) and in the end I did value his company and companionship I do remember him trying to talk me through stuff I experienced that he felt could have really effected me if you would draw more so you can hopefully understand better and give the analysis I’d appreciate it (2/2)

My usual gibberish under the cut. So sorry this took me literally forever Eridan. Upside: You are the first read with my new Crow deck! Woo.

So, let me preface this by reassuing you that you'll get my usual text wall of thoughts, as I used to do prior to my decision to nix that for the time being until I can find my energy allotments again. This was requested long before that, and so you'll get that.

But hopefully you'll get a good giggle out of this deck throwing a card that basically told me to STOP because I am so tired. Yes. I am aware of this deck. Thank you very much for showing me that you work, but I have to work. (Please note that there is no need to feel bad about this; I thought it was funny, and I want to do these readings FINALLY-- I am just also very tired, personal shit, etcetc whatever. We been knew, Rox shut up. /lh)

As for your reading though.

Your view on the relationship - Reversed The Lovers (Self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values.)

Their view on the relationship - Reversed The Emperor (Domination, excessive control, lack of discipline, inflexibility.)

The relationship (an overview) - Reversed Temperance (Imbalance, excess, self-healing, re-alignment.)

So... I see the ongoing theme here. I do not like the ongoing theme here. (/lh) It's a very clear sign, and I don't think there's really much I can say that you can't put together yourself (or that you haven't already put together yourself). However, as per my previous promise, my take on this whole... Ordeal.

The self-destructive tendencies you mentioned are very clear and evident in Reversed Lovers, and I am lead to believe that coupled with Reversed Temperance that perhaps it was worse-off than you thought it was. However, in that same breath, this relationship seems a bit paradoxical to me because the Reversed Temperance here also indicates that this relationship was helping you.

Kanrki's card interests me the most here, however. I am not sure what he would have stood to gain from this relationship, but I feel that this card shows how much you put into him, and perhaps incidentally, how much control you gave him over you? I could still see it more as his views and thoughts about you in this situation as well, but these are all shots in the dark and my best estimates.

Still... This one is definitely a headscratcher whilst being an eye-opener. I have several questions, but it's not my business (nor do I expect you to have answers haha).

Hoped this helped Eridan. Sorry it took me so long.

(Addendum: This deck continues to sass me. As I was putting your reading back onto my stack to reshuffle, I noticed the top card was askew and I make sure my stacks are EVEN before I do my overviews. The card that was off makes me feel like I was relatively accurate here.)
