Lotm has me in a chokehold and my brain demands I draw Lotm themed tarot cards (only the major arcana for now) and I want people's opinion on it because I haven't actually finished Lotm yet (I'm still in book 3)
Might contain spoilers I was skimming through the wiki
Canon character card combos I'm keeping
Just the entire tarot club
Character card combo you will have to fight me on
The World - Azik Eggers
The Tower - Amanises
Why is Azik The World and Amanises The Tower?
Eh hem.
Making Azik Death is boring. His arc throughout the story is about finding out about his past and who he used to be. He is incomplete and - as far as I am aware - in his previous 60 year cycles never got to actually reach the point of finding out who he is. Which matches the general meaning of The World Reversed.
Turning it around - as far as I am aware - he does manage to get all his memories back, therefore completing his goal. From what I've heard where ever the fuck he took a nap at has all of Klein's letters and other stuff which is supposed to make him remember, which causes Azik to wake up and immediately regain his memory consequently again fulfilling his goal of regaining his past.
Tldr: it matches his experiences and journey throughout the story
The Star is already taken by Leonard. It's also boring. The Tower - simplified - symbolises sudden, drastic, negative (?) change when upright and the delay/avoidance or fear of it when reversed.
Amanises is the Goddess of Misfortune. Her honorific name calls her The Empress of Misfortune and Horror. Amanises has apparently killed all of her enemies. Girl has plotted the demise of everyone that stands in her way. To her enemies she is a symbol of disaster.
I rest my case
Combo I don't really care or am unsure of
Wheel of Fortune - Will Auceptin
The Hierophant - Grisha
The Emperor - Roselle Gustav
Why?
... Emperor Roselle Gustav. Also upright Emperor means control, fatherhood, structure and authority and reverse means tyranny, rigidness and coldness.
Roselle loves his kids, became an emperor and like did his whole societal revolution. From what I heard he did get corrupted tho which matches the reverse meaning
The blasphemy card for Will's path is the Wheel of Fortune
I don't know shit about Grisha man. I just heard he plagiarized the bible and that's like traditions and all that which fits Hierophant upright and at the same time he like killed a bunch a guys and apparently created the whole potion thing which matches the reverse meaning of rebellion and new approaches
Combo I only have an idea for but need suggestions and feedback
The High Priestess - Bernadette Gustav???
The Lovers - Lilith? Amon?
Strength - Bernadette Gustav?? Melissa Moretti??
Death - Trissy???
The Devil - Amon??
Just got to the part where Reinette Tinekerr is introduced. Maybe she could be death? Idk
Amon is like a bad guy or something right? And he like idk maybe he could fit the devil? Who knows ┐(´ー｀)┌ I sure don't. Matching him with the lovers is just because that's the blasphemy card for his path
I thought maybe Bernadette could fit strength or the high priestess? I haven't met her character in canon or fanfiction enough to draw a conclusion
Trissy is just there as a throwback idea
Melissa just kinda fits strength don't ask me to explain ot
Lilith is in the lovers as an idea cause she's like both the earth mother but also vamp ancestor right?? And like duality SMT SMT. And she apparently faced her death right? Dead but alive SMT SMT duality. Idk
