Thanks to @youmagnificentbeast's incredible ad break videos, I could screenshot Alex being super creepy and weird in this extreme close-up. I, of course, had to do a paint-over. This is in digital oil-pastels with a five colour palette.

Stede Bonnet: The Sun.

Adapted from the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, Stede as the Sun rides through the tides, draped in gold and fine fabrics, radiating his own light. As the Sun he is open to the world like a child, full of optimism and about to make it everyone's problem.

Longer exploration of this card's symbolism under the cut.

My other tarot posts can be found here: Ed as the Star, Izzy as the Moon, Ed&Stede together, all three together.

The Sun: Happiness, clarity, moving forward towards a new life.

Rachel Pollack writes: The Sun brings clarity, simplicity. This is the moment when a new world, a new life, begins to take shape.

Whether it is him having left his marital home for the first or the second time, Stede as the Sun is ready. A new world has opened up, and he heads forward with no hesitation.

The Sun tells us to act boldly, with clarity and purpose, but also trust. Not the confidence of a warrior, but the openness of a child.

The qualities of the Sun make Stede shine as a captain. A clear and unique vision, a childlike trust, and purpose burning bright drives him and his crew forward no matter what.

The original Rider-Waite-Smith card shows a child riding a horse in a garden, signifying joy and freedom. In Stede's card the garden has transformed into an ocean, but it still remains like a playground to those who see it with childlike wonder.

Stede also has a lot of common with the Fool, the first card of the deck:

The Fool is alone, with nothing left but what you can carry in a bag on a stick. But the Fool is also freedom – freedom from rules, freedom from possessions, freedom from the narrow beliefs of what is important, even your own beliefs about yourself.

Freed from the shackles of society Stede is as free as the Fool, left with nothing but the clothes on his back and a heart full of love. He rides into the unknown with no bridle, with no means to guide himself, and yet he beliefs he will find his way. With the Sun in his heart he knows he can create the life he always wanted.

The Fool takes a risk, and in the Sun he is rewarded.
