Draw Your Card!
Got an interest in the Tarot? Associate your blorbos with anything and everything? This is the blog for you! Just fill out the form below and soon enough you'll see the poll on the blog.
Rules are as follows:
Only entries submitted through the form linked above will be counted. You can send an ask to check on the progress of a submission, but I will not accept any submissions from the askbox.
No real life people! Fictional depictions of historical figures are allowed, or fictional personas embodied by real people, IE wrestling personas or drag personas.
No figures from real-world mythologies or religions. Characters based on them are allowed. (IE, Persephone from Greek Mythology is disqualified, but Persephone from Hadestown is allowed.)
No Harry Potter characters or youtubers.
OCs are permitted for now, but you must provide a non-picrew image for them and a bit of backstory as to why they embody their card.
You can submit a group of characters for a card if the bond they share is represented by the card itself.
Repeats are allowed and encouraged! If you think Blorbo embodies XYZ card but someone already sent them in for ABC card, just send in a submission and it'll be put in the queue.
If you'd like me to use a tarot design from a specific deck, please specify in the submission. Otherwise I'll assume you want the Rider-Waite version. This includes the Family Guy Death Pose version of the Ten Of Swords.
If you know you want to submit a character but aren't sure which card would work, take a peek at my handy-dandy cheat sheet here. It's not a comprehensive list of every interpretation a card can have, but it's where I get the blurbs for each post and it's a good place to start.
I also have the submission list here, including rejected submissions and submissions set aside for special events.
My main resources for card meanings and interpretations are wikipedia, thetarotguide.com, and learntarot.com. Different sources have different meanings for the same cards, so if the submitter's explanation and the copy-pasted explanation I give disagree, assume that we're drawing from different sources and that both are valid. Remember folks, this is all in good fun! Be kind to each other and let's all just try to have a good time.
If you've got a question, please refer to the FAQ.
