Currently taking submissions for Ford themed tarot deck. Send me some different Ford's from different aus and I'll turn them into tarots card! All Fords welcome!
Hello, I'm currently in the works to design some tarot cards with different Fords from different aus. So I'm going to need a little help from you guys. Please send in some of your favorite aus, and I'll draw their Ford's. Yall get bonus points. If you tell me what card you see him as (this isn't necessary but is very helpful!), I'm just doing the major arcana, so it's 22 in all.
So send some Ford's! Make sure you tell me what au, and who the au is by (Iwant to make sure to give proper credit to the creators), and optionally tell me what card you see this Ford as.

INTEREST CHECK
Every undersea king deserves an undersea queen! This Ford is from the one mind who needed to see ford pregnant by King Neptune by @illusioncanthurtme--art! This card is The Empress. In the upright, it represents pregnancy, fertility, and motherhood. While the reverse symbolizes struggles, codependence, and overbearing.
Here we have the ghostest with the mostes, 500 Volts Ford, by @mitsu-the-witch This card is The Magician. In the upright position, it symbolizes awakening, manifestation, and power, while the reverse symbolizes manipulation, trickery, and wasted potential.
hiiii wanted to let you know i think this idea is super cool, but i see you haven't posted anything in a while. are you ok, or is this series canceled? if it isn't, are you still taking suggestions?
oh thanks! don't worry not dead! i think. I've just been very busy you'll be happy to know i finished one and am gonna try to get it posted tonight thank you for the support and glad your liking the project
Here we have the robotic card dealing Ford from Cipher's Casino by @dininaguan (most of their stuff for their au is over on Twitter of the same name)! This card is The Wheel of Fortune. In the upright position, it symbolizes winning, destiny, and being a turning point, while the reverse symbolizes losing, taking a turn for the worse, and having no control.
Another fun Ford found in deep in the Fanfiction tomes is the beast of a Ford, Dragon Ford from Prince Stan Au by @dark-lord-of-awesomeness . In the upright position, it symbolizes well justice, as well as contracts and balence, while the reverse symbolizes concequenes, focusing on righting wrongs, and karma.
You guys have spoken, sort of, it was a tie so it had to go to a special vote and the winner was The Star! Here we have Janitor Ford by @lauravbleediotiewrites! This card is The Star. In the upright position, it symbolizes hope, optimism, and dreams, while the reverse symbolizes delusion, frustration, and monotony.
I'm having trouble picking which card to do next. Sure, I could tell you what I have planned for each card, but where's the fun in that. What i can tell you one of them is from a tiny au that holds a special place in my heart, one of them is more known but doesn't have alot of content, (don't worry what is there is really fun and amazing) and lastly is from an au with a decent following that has been suggested to me a fair amount and why not it's a great au! So take a vote, maybe you'll pick the idea you like the most, maybe not. Let fate decide the next one.
We have reached the halfway mark of this project! Up next, we have Dr. Pine... i mean, Dr. Pines from @aroace-get-out-of-my-face and @babyblankyerror Science Time With Dr. Pine! This card is The Chariot. In the upright position, it symbolizes hard work, determination, and victory , while the reverse symbolizes aggression, being impulsive, and insecurity.
Wow, card number 10 almost halfway done. Thanks for sticking with me. Up next, we have the cyborg Dee from @overlords-au! This card is Strength. In the upright position, it symbolizes passion, energy, and well strength, while the reverse symbolizes being aggression, prideful, and the tendency to have impulsive behavior.
can we send in flop aus? ie, ones with not a lot of traction? or just the big ones? cos all my other fave aus have tarot cards already lol
Of course, all Fords welcome means all Fords welcome. You are always free to submit Ford from any au (including fics). My only real requirement is that they be at least in some way different than cannon Ford to keep things interesting (seriously, it could literally be anything to make him stand out from a different Ford). And while bot a deal breaker, I would prefer some with at least some lore or finalized designs so i can work with it. That being said, i make no promises they will get done. I try to pick Ford's that would fit the tarot card i assigned them.
Another Ford found in Fanfiction is the cowboy wizard Ford from Theseus' Guild to Ruining a Perfectly Good Boat by @stump-not-found. In the upright position, it symbolizes danger, destruction, and liberation, while the reverse symbolizes release, delaying the inevitable, and a need to let go.
