The real reason that genius detective characters in fiction change authors and actors so often is that without periodic hard resets, they eventually start figuring out that they're fictional characters. It's the metafictional equivalent of cycling an AI to prevent it from going rogue. For many years it was believed that killing them off in a suitably dramatic "final case" would indefinitely suspend the process, but this was later determined not to be fully reliable – as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle learned, to his regret.

Fandom tarots are kind of a tightrope act for me.

On the one hand, I do get annoyed when characters are clearly being assigned to arcana based on what the artist imagines each card represents based purely on the name of the card in question. (e.g., "well, this character is Death because they killed a guy, this character is the Devil because they're kind of nasty", and so forth.)

Oh the other hand, being too faithful about replicating the visual symbolism of a particular deck – whether it's the Marseilles or the Rider-Waite or what-have-you – can bump into the problem that those symbols are the product of a particular interpretive tradition, and in turn, of a particular religious and philosophical worldview which likely isn't shared by the source material; basically, instead of fucking up the meanings of the cards, we're now implicitly reading against the text of the media that this particular fandom tarot is based on.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing – I love a good countertextual reading as much as the next pretentious nerd – but in some cases I have to assume for the sake of my own equilibrium that this attention to detail is aping the forms without understanding the substance, because the alternative is contemplating the possibility that someone out there has successfully constructed a Catholic reading of Homestuck.
