My toxic trait is I believe that people who are into tarot divination should also learn at least some history regarding tarot as a family of card games
No, really, tarot games are genuinely a lot of fun and the fact that outside of france and strongly-french influenced regions, tarot games are pretty much unheard of makes me sad. Same goes for tarock games outside of former austria-hungary (and parts of germany) and tarocco games outside of italy.
"but playing cards don't have cups, coins, swords, and wands for their suits" yes they do!!! in italy and spanish-speaking parts of the world!!! sure they're more commonly called "clubs" when it comes to wands, but still!!!
"but what would the major arcana be there for if not divination?" they're the permanent trump suit!!! they beat non-trumps and lower trumps!!! Also!!! the fool is a trump only in the tarock branch of the family of games!!! in Tarocchi and Tarots it's its own thing!!!
"ok but what about the knight face cards?" they're there because in italy, where tarocco ("original italian tarot") cards came from, the cards feature either a horseman, or a dame!!! inclusion of both is a parity!!!
"but how do I learn to play?" the Piemontese game of Scarto is a great introductory point to tarot games. It uses a 78 card deck, so if you have a divinatory deck you may use that, or you can buy yourself a French Tarot deck (look for "jeu de tarot") or a Tarocco Piemontese deck. If you get a French Tarot deck, the suit equivalencies are hearts=cups, diamonds=coins, spades=swords, clubs=clubs/wands. The wikipedia article I've linked has the rules described well, or if you're a hands-on learner, this site lets you play the game against bots, and also has a rulebook button. Warning tho, the site uses a scan of an old tarocco piemontese deck, so it may be a bit hard to read. Once you decide you'd like something more, you can move on to French Tarot, which is the second most popular card game in france to this day. There's a great android app for this game too, and I believe it features a rules explanation too.

Okay, MAJOR SALT COMING! Also a long post!
So I have the Disney Villains tarot deck but before I go into the salt part of the post, let's go into the positives.
The cards have stunning art and each card is appropriately themed to the villain generally speaking about 98% of the time. (IMO).
Another positive is the roster of villains included. Seeing even a few minor/underrated villains is pretty cool and impressive.
Some examples of these villains include Bowler Hat Guy, Madame Mim, Madame Medusa, and possibly Yzma.
Now onto the salt.
As impressive as the span of villains is, two villains are absent who (IMO) deserved a card.
King Candy
Frollo
First, there are other villains absent, but I'm sticking to these two since I've seen these movies. Now going in order, it is an absolute SHAME (IMO) that King Candy doesn't have a card, but I have an idea of which card suits him best.
The King of Swords. Although this card is given to Scar, and I do love how it looks, I believe that King Candy deserved it.
Plus, Scar appears on like three other cards, so I think it's okay for him to appear three times (sorry Scar, I do love you too).
Anyway, I'm going to go into some detail as to why I believe King Candy/Turbo deserves the card by going into the meaning of it and how it relates to him.
I'll admit, I have a lot of points and can talk about this for days, but I'm going to condense them to 3-ish. I'll do the same for Frollo too in a part 2 post.
Going for a two in one here: The card is about being an authority who uses reason and their intelligence for good. while the reverse of this is being cunning to deceive people.
After Turbo hijacked Sugar Rush, he was very methodical about his approach to make it sound like he's their rightful ruler. He locked up their memories, then he fabricated the lie that she was a danger to their game. Turbo did his best to make sure nothing went unchecked and made sure to make the lie sound convincing to protect them (but mostly him). He's very strategic, and was able to come up with a plan to manipulate Ralph with 16 manipulation tactics in one go. He was even able to feign being concerned to play on Ralph's attachment to Vanellope.
I think the best line that best captures this aspect of the card is "Doing what's right, no matter what." AKA: He recognizes that it may sound harsh, but he makes his lies sound reasonable to protect his subjects and game.
The card also represents enjoying structure when upright. But it's controlling and oppressive in a need for order when reversed.
Turbo needs everything to be to be going his way, as he's a control freak.
Inserting the test animation here, he even says "You are a threat to my game, to the order I have maintained. And if there's one thing I can't abide, it's anything out of order!"
Also, the split-second something isn't in his control, he starts to fumble and break into either rage or nervously laughing. He's capable of coming off as cool and composed, but he's scared of being caught and it can cause him to lash out in anger (another aspect of the card).
Just as mentioned in the previous point, he made sure nothing went unchecked and made an entire world literally revolve around him. He can and WILL happily use all of his resources of excessive force he has like the cops, the Sugar Rush equivalent of S.W.A.T., and the fungeon to detain someone who stands in his way.
As a minor note, there's a line in the tarot guidebook that states the reverse of the card can represent "someone who needs to win at any cost." Which describes Turbo to a T. He not only wants attention but he's also extremely competitive. It's part of his programming, and it ties to his love for racing. To always come out on top and be #1. No matter who or what stands in his way.
That core drive (pun intended) was the cause of his villainy in the first place and earned him his infamous status in the arcade.
Okay, I don't want to sound too salty, but you can imagine my disappointment when King Candy didn't get a card.
Oh well, Its fine, I still love and use this deck.
So I guess we can call this the thrilling conclusion to the 3 part saga of including King Candy in Disney Villain merchandise.
Also as a sidenote: hypothetically if he did get this card, what would the imagery be?
I feel the card has the potential to get creative with the glitch effects. For example make it so that he's glitching between the Turbo appearance and the King Candy appearance. If we want to be a little cheeky, we could have it set in his castle, and out the window, we see a the cybug Ralph initially sent to SR flying outside a castle window. (similar to Hook's card as the crocodile is seen outside)
So basically, my interpretation would be a mix of these images and Captain Hook's card:
But, if anyone else has really cool ideas, I'd love to hear them! If you want, you could also draw it out to illustrate your point (pun intended) Honestly please do, I'd love to see other people's interpretations of this card for him. The possibilities are endless!
Join me in my antics next time when I analyze Frollo and and the card I think he should've gotten.

I finally published my Napoleonic Tarot deck and it's finally online to purchase!✨️
I first designed and drew this deck at Illustration school. I also discovered the Tarot cards' meaning in general just then. If you apply any theme to it, the Major Arcana may build a full tale about it. An eventful life such as Napoleon's can't not be quite fitting!
Hope you enjoy it!✨️

ADDENDUM: Episode 43 - The Dream Mixer
I had discovered today that the tarot "The Tower" can be called "The House of God" in French, today. Which... uh, fits very well, with the art that can be seen on these cards.
Which made me go a little bit insane about the analysis I had conducted in the liveblog of episode 43 and the meaning of this tarot.
Is there someone at Ankama who is also insane like me? Is this like, actually a real thing I noticed that someone put in deliberately, and not me going crazy?
#ep43#ro liveblogs dofus#dofus#wakfu#krosmoz#joris jurgen#The original post I wrote does feature a french tarot that reads this but I hadn't noticed this until today#because I was drawing some tarot themed fanart and had to check the french names to write down on the fanart and uhhh#now I'm writing this post. instead of drawing joristarots

Hello Tumblr,
J'ai créé un jeu de rôles qui se joue avec un Tarot ! Ca s'appelle Magie de Minuit et on est en plein financement en ce moment. C'est un JDR sans maître de jeu, pour raconter des histoires de sorcières et de sororité.
Si tu aimes les jeux atypiques et les belles cartes alors c'est pour toi !

OC-tober 30!
Today’s prompt was Tarot, so I got my sister’s, pulled a random card, and decided this was enough research on tarot.
I got the card of the Moon and didn’t look up its symbolism, I just drew based on the vibes I had. This moon is tending to her children, they ask her things and the sun doesn’t know. Her powers aren’t unlimited and there are some cases she can’t fix, so she’s at least a patient listener and a shoulder to rest on when her children are tired. She protects the lovers and the wounded.
Pen and markers on paper, 30 minutes.
#/ref somewhere if you’re French#oc tober 2024#oc tober#my art#my ocs#traditional art#tarot cards#moon#been wanting to draw a plus size oc for a while but I was scared of messing up. but look at her she’s GORGEOUS.
