THE GREAT TAROT MEME

[azure-regis.livejournal.com]

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

6 - The Lovers

[azure-regis.livejournal.com]

The Lovers is one card that is easy to remember. Love and sex are riveting subjects, and, as you'd expect, this card represents both. The urge for union is powerful, and, in its highest form, takes us beyond ourselves. That is why an angel is blessing the bond between the man and woman on this card.

In readings, Card 6 often refers to a relationship that is based on deep love - the strongest force of all. The relationship may not be sexual, although it often is or could be. More generally, the Lovers can represent the attractive force that draws any two entities together in a relationship - whether people, ideas, events, movements or groups.

Card 6 can also stand for tough value choices and the questioning that goes with them. In some decks, the Lovers shows a man torn between two women - a virgin and a temptress. This rather old-fashioned triangle symbolizes the larger dilemmas we face when we are tempted between right and wrong.

The Lovers can indicate a moral or ethical crossroads - a decision point where you must choose between the high road or the low road. This card can also represent your personal beliefs because to make such a decision you must know where you stand. Following your own path can mean going against those who are urging you in a direction that is wrong for you.

Sari/Wykkyd or Derek/Rip.

Derek/Rip is too violent for this card. I think it's Sari/Wykkyd - their love transcends faction.

Actually, this does fit Rayne pretty damn well. My own deck has the temptress/virgin thing, and I can see that triangle being made into the triangle between Rayne, his canon love interest, and Rip.

Nnnnot to be biased in order to pick between the pairings/ships we have going on here in the Wake, but I kind of think Sari/Wykkyd does work, because they've been trying to make decisions despite what other people think -- or at least, Sari USUALLY does this, and Wykkyd is beginning to follow this example. And they're kind of dating even though some other may not agree on this action (particularly Screamer and Blitzwing lmfao).

On the other hand, the triangle thing might work for Derek, especially with this whole 417 business. Although that's really more two men and one girl. XD

Ffff and your comment about the triangle thing made me try to apply it in my head to Rip/Derek/America, and just. What.

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.

I think Rip/Derek are the best choice for this, as although Sari and Wykkyd are together, I don't see them as being fully in deep, immersive love yet.
