its been a while, here’s a little update on my tarot project 🧌 i’m kind of starting over, i made some design changes to most of the cards i had done before and i’ve started re-carving them at a slightly bigger size. making a deck this way is a huge labor of love that i’ve wanted to do for years, and part of the reason it took me a while to even start was the fact that my drawing style / design skills / tastes are ever changing, but i feel a lot more solid in my design choices now than i did before. once i have these re-dos done yall can expect to see me yap about the deck a lot more often

PROPAGANDA

Anakin Skywalker

He has done horrible things, but he also gained redemption. People like to pick one of those to ignore. He tormented the galaxy for 19 years, he had a hand in the massacre of his own people. He deserves to be held accountable for his actions, and not have the fandom pretend he is the specialist little angel who’s crimes were everyone else’s fault but not his. On the other side, before he fell, he did a lot of good things, and his fall was orchestrated by an extremely smart individual who had been grooming him since he was nine. The entire point of the original trilogy was his redemption. How he felt genuine remorse for his actions and tried to do better (and he died for his efforts). His redemption is a key part of his story that people love to ignore because he did bad things.

Moash

pokin' the hornet's nest <3 there are semi-ironic, sometimes-used-genuinely fandom poles of "Fuck Moash"/"Moash Did Nothing Wrong". so he is in fact both

A segment of the fandom believes he did nothing wrong whatsoever and his every action has been justified or can be excused as not being truly him doing them. Another segment believes he's a completely irredeemable monster who should burn in the fiery depths of hell. Me, I'm waiting for the moment when he has a redemption arc and stops using the Magic That Makes Him Not Feel Emotions and allows himself to feel regret for what he's done.

…I need a bigger shelf. And better lighting.

[lesenbyan]

I need to suck it up and buckle in and force myself to learn to draw

[zippityzap]

i absolutely do not have the time to do it but i’d love one day to redo the Sonic themed tarot deck i made. I had great concepts but my art has improved quite a bit since i made it

alternatively it would also be a great zine/collaboration idea; 78 or so artists are assigned a card each and draw their own Sonic version of it

NAH CAUSE THEY HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THIS. ASRA SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF ME DURING THEIR ROUTE W THIS BULLSHIT. I THOUGHT MY APPRENTICE WAS ABOUT TO DIE.

What are your thoughts on the canon? ‘Cause it’s kinda wild as it stands. So far, the only consistent thread of lore I could find are the CM graphic novels, the AoR comics, the AoR show, and the og film/novelization + World Of book. Which, I’d say, is a bit of a shame. JM Lee’s books were quite well written and have expanded upon the mythos in many ways — so it’s sad seeing figures like skekSa, urSan, skekLi, and urLii not get featured in the Bestiary despite urSen and urMa getting sections.

I've concluded some time back because the official website states that all of those things are canonical that they exist on separate timelines. The franchise may or may not allude to this with Aughra, who is able to see multiple timelines, saying things like "I've seen many endings laid before us" and similar lines.

I think by design JMC is very loose with its storytelling, allowing new writers to come in and craft a story. There are pros to this, but of course this means continuity suffers. Even the pieces of media you listed contradict each other.

at some point i want to make my own skyrim tarot, like. at Least draw the major arcana

[bdor1995]

the fact that hori has not actually canonically crossdressed in gsnk (i am not counting that one little imagined sceanario. Barely counts.) makes me think that its gonna be. A significant plot point later

Here are all the Chao-related artworks from the OFFICIAL Sonic the Hedgehog tarot card deck which was released on the 28th of August of this year.

Tintin Tarot - A Fool's Journey, Part One. A collaboration with @josephscoat who knows a lot about tarot and other spiritual and cultural topics. They're a very talented writer too, so go check them out!

They first pointed out how perfectly the Fool tarot card mapped onto Tintin himself, and it led to me illustrating the Major Arcana as Tintin characters. I'm surprised Moulinsart hasn't released an official Tintin tarot deck yet, though knowing them if they did they'd probably just reuse existing art...

I wanted this set to reference the Rider-Waite tarot deck, as it's iconic! I tried to keep as much symbolism from this deck as possible, while incorperating a lot of appropriate Tintin references. It was important to us that none of these felt like a stretch, so we tried our best to find the best fit for each card, including the card's reverse meaning!

The Fool - New beginnings, taking risks, embarking on a new adventure, independence and blind faith. He even has a little white dog. Of course Tintin is the Fool! The yellow tights indicate he moves forward with self confidence, even if forwards means off a ledge. He carries a white flower, symbolising purity.

The Magician - Manifestation, creation, resourcefulness and inspired action. Calculus's inventions behind him are a nod to each element - the shark submarine represents water, the moon rocket represents fire, the sound weapon represents air and the white roses he creates for Castafiore represent earth! On the table we have Didi's sword, a bottle of Loch Lommond whiskey, a pentacle and King Ottokar's sceptre. This card is my favourite!

The High Priestess - Mystery, intuition and the subconcious mind. Madame Yamilah was the obvious pick, being canonically psychic! I incorperated the curtains from the theatre she performs at, as well as the columns Haddock knocks over, now in black and white to represent light and dark.

The Empress - Motherhood, protection, femininity. There aren't many parents in the Tintin universe, probably by design. Mrs Wang came to mind. I used phoenix motifs in her headress as in Chinese culture they are symbols of femininity, and are distinct from the fiery immortal birds from Greek mythology.

The Emperor - Fatherhood, authority, structure, control. Mr Wang runs a crime fighting organisation and is Didi and Chang's stern father. Dragon motifs represent masculinity, and I referenced ancient Chinese armour as a symbol of protection.

The Hierophant - Tradition, conformity. The Prince of the Sun sticks closely to ancient laws and traditions, but like the card's reverse, is open to new approaches, such as when he takes in Zorrino. I gave him some elements of the priest's clothing to symbolise the Prince's role as a religious leader.

The Lovers - Partnerships, duality and unity! Despite being identical, the Thomsons aren't related. They in fact come from different countries - one is from France and the other is from Switzerland. Me and my friend confirmed this fact at the Herge museum in Belgium! The card's reverse meaning, disharmony and loss of balance, is also very much in line with the Thomsons. I included the internet famous Gay Lions in the background!

The Chariot - Direction. Control. Willpower. These are the perfect descriptors for Arturo Benedetto Giovanni Giuseppe Pietro Arcangelo Alfredo Cartoffoli, the Italian driver that helps out Tintin and Haddock in the Calculus Affair. He may have only appeared for a few pages, and I may be the only person to get this reference, but he is a perfect fit. He drives.

Strength - Compassion, bravery, endurance. Not only has Chang demonstrated these qualities in Tintin in Tibet, he's had to endure a lot of hardship throughout his life, being orphaned, swept up in a flood and watching his home get torn apart by imperial forces. He still comes out the other side patient and compassionate, being one of the few people to recognise a form of humanity in the Yeti, and possibly being the one to change Tintin's entire political journey! Chang is draped with juniper berries.

The Hermit - Laszlo Carreidas is a lonely and isolated millionnaire who goes through a huge personality change. Being drugged with a truth serum makes him more honest and open. His base personality before his development fits with the card's reverse - isolation and a loss of direction.

Wheel of Fortune - Alcazar and Tapioca's conflict is an endless cycle of war for political control. The Wheel of Fortune represents cycles and inevitable fate. Reversed, it represents a lack of control - both Alcazar and Tapioca cycle between having absolute power and no power at all. I dressed Tapioca as Anubis as a nod to the original card!

Justice - I picked Miarka to represent Justice as she and her community are wrongfully accused of crime due to being profiled. Instead of a sword she weilds the golden pair of scissors she is accused of stealing, and the gemstone representing a third eye is the Castafiore emerald. The owl, a symbol of wisdom, and the magpie from the Castafiore Emerald sit beside her.

Kay, so let's pretend that Danny's a part of the justice league, and he wants to mess with them.

Now they don't know a lot about the ghost zone, so they kinda have to take his words as the truth (since he is a resident of the place) which means he can say the most insane shit and they believe it.

Someone says "when pigs fly!" Danny informs them that the ghost zone has flying pigs and there's also flying pineapples.

And then he invents The Game.

He grabs normal playing cards, pokemon cards, yi-gi-oh cards, Bakugan cards, Uno cards, and then he mixes them all together and calls it an official Game of the zone.

He makes up rules and everything.

And then John Constantine comes along, and he wants in on the chaos, so he adds tarot cards.

And when anybody asks him if something about the zone is true (since he is the only person other than Danny who knows so much about it) he says yes.

Somewhere along the way, The Game becomes an actual official ghost zone game.

Danny floating above a table with cards in front of him: I summon blue eyes white dragon!

Dani playing along: I use the Queen of hearts signature move! Off with your head!

Dan who's here for some reason: reverse card.

Hal:...What the hell are they playing ?

John wandering in: hmm? Oh your playing that. *Pulls out tarot deck* mind if I join?

JL: ?????

And all the other things Danny's said exists in the zone now actually exist in the zone because people believe that they do.

He asks Clockwork about it, and he just says that "the power of belief is a powerful thing."
