THE GREAT TAROT MEME

Ganked from Cape and Cowl, though I'm unlikely to actually do art for it.

Basically, I want to make up a Wake Tarot; figure out which characters fit which cards best. I'm not even sure we have enough characters (there's 75 cards or so, we'll see).

I am going to post descriptions of each card; your job is to reply to each thread with which characters you feel fit the best. You can also be like "I AGREE WITH SO AND SO"

After a few days/when I'm non-lazy I'll put up the results. And maybe draw a few if I'm non-lazy hoorayyyy.

Descriptions ganked from here

NOTE THAT I ACTUALLY CAN READ TAROT And maybe later I'll idk do some. I've done online readings before.

*E*

I ALSO WANT TO RANDOMLY NOTE THAT THE FOUR SUITS - Wands, Coins, Swords, and Cups - correspond to both elements, and in Nautilus, to cardinal directions. Thus:

Wands - FIRE - West
Coins - EARTH - South
Swords - AIR - North
Cups - WATER - East

;D

SQUALL? idk

The personality of the Queen of Pentacles combines the positive earth energy of the Pentacles suit with the inward focus of a Queen. If you were to visit the Queen of Pentacles, the first thing she would say is, "Come in, come in. It's great to see you. Have a bowl of soup!" No one is more welcoming and nurturing than she. Her greatest pleasure is to care for others - making sure they are happy and secure. Her home is always overflowing with children, pets, plants and footloose friends. She is warm and generous to all. In day-to-day matters, she is sensible and practical. She doesn't have a lot of time for elaborate plans and other craziness. If something needs doing, she just takes care of it without a lot of fuss and bother. If necessary, she makes do with little and always comes through in a pinch. There is a down-to-earth, matter-of-factness about her. She is always loyal and steadfast. Because she is trusting by nature, others trust her completely. When you are hurting or in need, the Queen of Pentacles will calm your fears and share your troubles.

In readings, the Queen of Pentacles asks you to think and feel as she does. For example: Are you feeling warm and caring toward others? Are you being sensible? Have you been true to your word? Do you feel generous? Can you be counted on when times are tough?

This Queen can also represent a man or woman who is like her, or an atmosphere of warmth, trust and security. In a reading, she tells you that her special energy has meaning for you at this time. Let yourself be inspired by this Queen in whatever form she appears in your life.

The personality of the King of Pentacles is a combination of the positive earth energy of the Pentacles suit and the active, outward focus of a King. He might as well be called King Midas as he turns everything he touches to gold (riches of all kinds). He finds opportunity everywhere and succeeds at whatever he sets his mind to. He is enterprising and adept. Whatever the task, he handles it competently, drawing on his wide range of skills and practical knowledge. He's a jack-of-all-trades - and master of all as well. He is always dependable and responsible. Others rely on him completely because he never fails them. He gives generously of his time and resources because he knows that by giving more, you receive more. He encourages others in their accomplishments and lends his support whenever it is needed. He has a steady and even temperament that adds an element of stability to any situation. When he has set a goal for himself, he pursues it with firm resolve until he's successful.

In readings, the King of Pentacles asks you to take the kinds of actions he might take. For example: keeping a comittment, fixing something that's broken, making money, or sponsoring a new enterprise. This King can also represent a man or woman who is acting as he does, or an atmosphere of steady, reliable competence. In a reading, he tells you that his special energy has meaning for you at this time. Let yourself be inspired by this King in whatever form he appears in your life.

AND THAT'S IT.

Pyramid Head. His nickname is the Red Devil, too. XD

I concur on the Wendy feeling.

America? lmfao. He can be kind of cocky, though.

Agreed times infinity.

Oof. Hard. This can be Pyramid Head, too.

However, I think my vote will go to V for this.

Seconding TJ.

Hanged Man, in my head, had always applied to Alexander for me, for various reasons. One of them being that he's pretty much the type to let go. That was actually a reoccurring theme throughout the first part of his story--Let Go. By the end, he's decided that the only way to really get through is to give up and die. But there's also more complicated feelings to it than that. If one were to care for me to elaborate, I'd probably wind up writing an entire effing novel on the matter all over again.

Yeah. Death is a misunderstood card, simply because people seem to read into Death as being a negative omen. However, the way the card is played, I'd say Nathan would fit more for this one, hands down.

LMFAO LARRY

Klonoa works for this, I think. Since we lost Peter sob.

Lelouch and Suzaku?

IF ONLY WE STILL HAD PETER.

Could be Beast Boy.

Mr. Monday.

AUTOBOTS AS A WHOLE IDK

Def. Sari/Wykkyd, or just Wykkyd on his own, what with his whole struggle to figure out who he is and where his allegiances should lie.

Almost wanna say Flonne. Not sure.

Could be Marrow.

I dunno, I thought of Prowl.

...the "searching for answers, reflecting inwardly" part, not so much the "crusty and bearded and living a life of hardship" part.

This might be too on the nose considering the whole practice hanging thing, but I could see this working with Leslie Vernon's whole philosophy of why he does what he does.

John Adams?

Rip? IDK
