Jay Castillo - Page of Cups

The next character in our series “Pedro’s Characters as Tarot Cards” is Jay Castillo, from Red Widow. Jay is the Page of Cups.

The Page of Cups is a loving and dreamy Page. He is sensitive, an idealist and very loyal, but he might be naive or too innocent. He is sweet and kind, imaginative and emotionally open. A person with the energy of the Page of Cups will be emotional, sensitive and creative, many times artistic, and they will often see love in an idealistic way. Youthful, dreamy and romantic, he can express his emotions, show empathy and connect with others in an emotional level.

Jay Castillo, a tattoo artist, is first introduced as a character during his wedding to Kat. He appears as a man who is in love, bursting with happiness and enjoying that moment with love sick puppy eyes and a bright smile. As the episodes progress, we see he seems to blindly believe that relationship, act in sweet and romantic ways, worship his wife and see his marriage through rose colored glasses. Kat, on the other hand, doesn’t feel the same, and doesn’t seem to be so certain getting married was the best idea, as she indicates she felt it was rushed and she wasn’t really that involved. Jay doesn’t see that, not even when Kat eventually starts to cheat on him with an FBI agent. He acts naive in many situations, he struggles to see his marriage is not going well, he remains loyal to Kat, emotionally open and idealistic. When he finally understands she doesn’t feel the same, it’s like breaking an innocent boy’s heart. For those reasons, Jay is our Page of Cups.

@cruelsummerx liked this for a random starter with random muses. (2/2)

"i wasn't checking you out! you are my muse! when i'm not looking at you! i'm not concentrating!"

[perotovar]

I AM SO HERE FOR THIS???

if you decide to write it or someone else does i will be SEATED

@agentmarcuspike said this on a gifset about Jay Castillo:

And my brain is turning it over and over like a shiny rock and then presents me with this:

What if it wasn't just weed but art dealings the family was involved with, and Marcus gets assigned to the case?

He meets Jay and has to question him about his involvement in his ex-wife's family business.

They're both dealing with the fallout of failed relationships at different stages. At this point it's been a few years since Teresa for Marcus, and the pain is still raw for Jay.

Maybe they find common ground in their love for art and become friends, to more than friends.

It could just be a single, Jay x Marcus mlm relationship, but because I like to shove myself in there, a reader could be in there too.

Maybe they want Jay as their tattoo artist and he's a little reluctant because of his immediate attraction to them, so they have to woo him a little, and that's not helping things at all.

Taking on @batmanisagatewaydrug 's 2025 Book Bingo (along with my wife & housemate, so it's now on our fridge. Taking me back to summer reading lists from the library)

I tend to work down my to-read list in order, unless there's something I really want to get to, so most of this list is 'what's the first thing I'll hit that fills the criteria'. But some books earn the right to skip the line, for one reason or another.

Going for a full board, which means actual bingo might take a minute lol

List below-

Literary Fiction - TBD

Short Story Collection - Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. Chain-Gang All Stars was on my top 10 from 2024 so even though short stories and I don't tend to get along, this one I'm excited about. Will also try Drinking From Graveyard Wells by Yvette Lisa Ndlovu

Sequel - Either A Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik or Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao. A matter of which one I get first; My library doesn't have physical copies of Heavenly Tyrant yet, and my wife owns all of Temeraire, so it might win.

Childhood Favorite - Might be Watership Down by Richard Adams, which is always a banger, but I reread Watership just a couple years ago, so it might be The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander instead, which I read many times with my mom and still have the whole series of.

20th Century Speculative Fiction - TBD

Fantasy - A Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson. I read so much fantasy, BUT I already have A Taste Of Honey on my side table. So here we are.

Published Pre-1950 - The Iliad (and The Odyssey) translated by Emily Wilson. Heard a lot of noise about her translation, and haven't read these two since... idk but it's been over a decade. Also going to hop on the Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier train.

Indie Publisher - The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. I read a LOT of indie publishers and Jemisin if one of my all-time favorite writers. I've been putting off this series for a time I can really get into it and burn down all three.

Graphic Novel - Dorohedoro by Q Hyashida. Currently on volume 8, will probably finish the series in the next week or two. Love love love Hyashida's work

Animal on the cover - Plague Dogs by Richard Adams. Despite my aforementioned childhood obsession with Watership Down I never got around to Plague Dogs. Looking forward to it!

Set in a country I've never visited - TBD

Sci-Fi - Another genre I'll read a thousand of in a year. Currently I have Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie on my side table (which I fear may be mid, but time will tell) I'm also VERY excited to read The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal

2025 Debut Author - TBD

Memoir - Love Is An Ex-Country by Randa Jarrar. Memoirs aren't usually my thing, but this one made it's way onto my to-read list last year so this is good motivation.

Zine - TBD. Browsing all the other posts from people doing this challenge for recs

Essay Collection - How To Read Now by Elaine Castillo. Literally the only essay collection on my to-read list and it jump scared me. Thought for sure this would a TBD, but How To Read Now should be interesting.

2024 Award Winner - TBD. Will trawl award lists when I have time

Non-Fiction - Facing the Wave: A Journey in the Wake of the Tsunami by Gretel Ehrlich. Specifically chose something that doesn't also count as social justice/activism, which is most of my non-fiction reads. I've found a real appreciation for good non-fiction the last few years (Everyone go read Swimming to Antarctica by Lynne Cox). Learning stuff is cool!

Social Justice/Activism - Everything you Love Will Burn: Inside the Rebirth of White Nationalism in America by Vegas Tenold. Excited for this one.

Romance - TBD. Tend to read romance that's also another genre (romantasy side eye at myself) so I've inevitably got one on my list. But maybe Akwaeke Emezi will write another romance and sweep me off my feet.

Recipe - Steak wrap pinwheels. My wife has been watching Food Truck Race (lol. lmao even) and one of the contestants made these. Stealing the idea with impunity.

Horror - Fever House by Keith Rosson. I've got a rich vein of horror novels on my to-read list, but this will be one of the first.

Published in the Aughts - TBD I'm old. I read of lot of 00's work.

Historical Fiction - Velvet Was The Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Is the 70's historical? I think the 70's is historical now. One of the final 3 books of Moreno-Garcia's I haven't read, and she's never let me down. Might read another Phryne Fisher Mystery or two as well, because they're quick and fun.

Librarian recommendation - TBD. I love my library and there's a few librarians who know me, will have to ask their opinions. Talking to a person! Not just taking one off the recommended shelf! Wild!

jay shrugged running a hand through his curls. "i don't know. it's complicated, i guess." his attention more on the tv than it was on patty's tone or face. everything in his life felt a little too complicated to be properly assessed. "wait— a loser, really?" jay chuckled softly, turning to patrick with a frown. "he's, like, a doctor. isn't that top 5 responsible good jobs?" not that he would know but still.

open to: anyone (26+ if romantic) with: patrick oliver (32, waiter and musician) plot: based a little bit on this. patty 100% has caught feelings

"so you... that... you're not seeing that guy, are you? like, for real?" patty's expression is his best attempt at neutral, but his best attempt at neutral is probably most people's worst. "come on, they're a total loser, you... you're way better than that."
