THE WEIRD AL-CANA - THE MAJOR ARCANA, INSPIRED BY WEIRD AL YANKOVIC SONGS

---

ho-ly shit, this actually got finished. this was so much work for something that is so incredibly niche, but im so happy with it. this was SO MUCH FUN to come up with, to think of songs for each card, to slip in silly references and make my little border designs... thank you so much everyone else who has been enjoying these posts!

tumblr wouldnt let me upload the full-size stitched canvas so I had to shrink it a little, so if you want to see all the individual cards at their full size PLEASE look at the individual posts on my blog HERE! this was the first time I ever got the tumblr warning that a photo was just too big, haha.

this post also goes out to everyone on the weird al side of tumblr- yankoblr, y'all have brought me so much joy in such a small amount of time with your posts and memes, even though i just got here and started randomly posting one day. i went from being very self-conscious about what i considered an 'embarrassing' interest to wholeheartedly goofing and it feels great. keep being silly no matter what guys

stay weird, y'all :)

Nine of Jazz. Art by Stacey Williams-Ng, from the Rhythm & Soul Tarot.

The Nine of Jazz is a card about resilience. A weary, sad-looking jazz vocalist takes the stage. Her head is bandaged and her dress crumpled and she sings a mournful song. The show must go on, but even deeper than that, the singer knows that the power of song is the only medicine that will address her pain. Consider the sheer human will to survive, and how often you have heard amazing stories about what people have been through. It would be very difficult to find any better example of a resilient people than that of Black America, which has suffered so greatly. That pain has been transmuted, time and time again, into music and in deep-rooted traditions that can outlast any trial the world can serve up.

Monster (Touchstarved MC Rewrite)

I've been really loving the songs from Epic: The Musical and decided to do a lyrics rewrite of my favourite song from the Underworld Saga, "Monster," for the Touchstarved MC, because I thought it was fitting, possibly for an MC turning to the dark side.

I did a lyrics rewrite for another song from Epic for my Alchemist!MC and his mentor a while ago, but I didn't change too many of the lyrics, so I might revisit that one in the future.

MC: How has everything been turned against us? How did suffering become so endless? How am I to finally wash this blood away? Or do I need to change?

MC: I'm surrounded by the ghosts of minds they’ve lost, Haunted by the blood and death that I have caused. What if the greatest threat we'll find is not the mist, But this?

MC: What if I'm the monster? What if I'm in the wrong? What if I'm the Soulless that's been lurking in the Fog? These hands of mine had killed them. What if I must bear the guilt? What if after this curse goes away, I’ll remain a monster, still? What if I'm the monster…

MC: Does the temple bear the guilt when they kill? Do their deaths keep the priests up in the night? Or do they take and tame in the name of faith, And believe they have served their gods right?

MC: When a childhood friend makes a promise and then Stabs the back of the one they swore to save, Did they learn to be colder when they got older, And now they can save themselves the pain?

MC: When an exiled mage builds a child a cage, Does she fear all the lines that she must cross? Or she commands respect, keeps her feelings in check To find answers regardless of the cost.

MC: When a traveller goes unravelling the mind Of a stranger who helped them, are they vile? Or do they have no say, made to drive insane And cursed to survive?

MC: If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away… Would that make me stronger? Would it keep the curse at bay? If I became the monster to everyone but me… What if there’s no price too high, As long as I am free? If I became the—

Caravanners: Monster… MC: Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves. Traveller: Monster… MC: And deep down I know this well.

MC: I lost my best friend, I lost my mentor, my faith, Too many lives slain, I cannot wait! I must find the key to what I seek, or else more will bleed. So if I must face down dangerous trials and battles, I'll go where the Senobium won't travel, And if I must send another innocent to madness in an instant so that I can end this…

MC: Then I'll become the monster! I will deal the blow! And I'll become a monster like none they've ever known! So what if I'm the monster tearing through the Shroud? I must become the monster if I’m to make it out!

Priests: Monster! MC: I’ll find the key! Syndicate: Monster! MC: And if I must— Mentor: Monster! MC: Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves. Kuras, Leander, Vere, Ais, Mhin: Monster! MC: I’ll become the monster…

1 of my favorite bands. they have made some of the most beautiful music i've ever heard and i love the artwork made by joseph vargo. he is such a talented person. ༺♡༻

[likealizardyousay]

if I were to introduce Julian Devorak to one real world thing it would be The Phantom of the Opera broadway musical this man would be such a phangirl

he would walk around wearing a mask blasting the soundtrack singing at MC through the walls

if MC is at all musically/theatrically inclined they are doing duets and acting out scenes this is an absolute must for him

his theater kid self would drag MC to see it live over and over because he is absolutely enamored with the sets and the costumes and the acting and the music and the chandelier drop MC do you know how cool that is-

[snobgoblin]

not a fan of the prospect of a live action Arcana admittedly (I think it works too perfectly as a visual novel) but if they did I think Valerius would need to have a fruity ass disney villain song those are just the rules

[bitter-sw33t-colors]

maybe im the only one who has a weird obsession with hamilton and the arcana but why is "The Room Where It Happens" so fitting for how i imagine julians trial going when the mc is like defending him... maybe i'll have to write something on this..

little disclaimer: ik this isnt even talking about the same thing it just makes me think of it lol

[elenagoeslightly]

Ok look I am the most single minded human being on earth and now I am obsessed with this dumb playlist thing for Asra, so:

Francesca, Hozier (LIKE?????? do you think I'd give up? That this might have shook the love from me? Or that I was on the brink, how could you think, DARLING ID SCARE SO EASILY and I am going to stop or I will write the whole song)

Fall for me, Sleep Token (1. The scream of "oh god I wish you were here" does it by itself BUT Won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? With my love as your garden won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality?I am yours in the end, so won't you fall for me? LIKE GIRL this could apply to his reverse ending too and jesus this band makes me so emotional if they don't do a concert in Italy I will sue them)

ALSO, staying in the sleep token bus, The Apparition (why are you never real? This shifting state you follow through, unrevealed, just let me go or take me with you????? It's giving Asra plotting to get the MC back but being still blinded by grief)

Heavy in Your Arms, Florence and the Machine is a song I'd give to the MC after they know everything (are you strong enough to stand, protecting both your heart and mine? Who is the betrayer, who's the killer in the crowd? The one who creeps in corridor's and doesn't make a sound (spoiler alert is the goat))

Btw this is so much fun

Omg ok no I'm back with sleep token AGAIN if you didn't know them now you do bc THE LOVE YOU WANT???? unofficial Asra alnazar/MC anthem??? (I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in, and you'll find a different way to keep from setting sail again!!!!!But I'm still full of the love you want, still waking up beneath it all, and I'm still full of the love you want, I'll reach for you on faith alone!!!!)

PLSPLSPLSPLS IF SOMEONE SEES THIS POST ADD SONGS!!!! PRETTY PLS!!!!
