I'm nearly done with the first draft-- I just have to figure out what the face cards should be for the swords

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

I think I should write a guidebook to go along with it.

I know nothing about tarot, so it'll just be giving the names of the symbols, giving explanations of what the symbols literally mean, and giving examples of symbolism-rich objects/substances they could apply to

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

YOU CAN NOW PURCHASE THE PRINTABLE PDF ON ITCH.IO!

Hazard Tarot by Organical Mechanical

WARNING! These cards are dangerously cool!

No guidebook yet, but hopefully I'll get around to it.

Please make me aware of any errors you encounter while printing so that I can fix them!

Rammattra (overwatch)/Gabriel (ultrakill) ..drabble? Headcannony thing?

Because i am.. very normal about them. I swear

Gabriel would fall first. He would deny it to anyone who would so much as hint at it, but he does.

Ramattra is strong and skilled. He follows his own path, uncaring of how people see him. Driven by his own sense of justice, which even Gabriel has to respect. A light that shines well enough on his own, without Gabriel's guidance. Most importantly, he's one of the very few that could make Gabriel second guess himself. It's scary, the way he makes him reconsider everything he has been taught about his place in the cosmic hierarchy, but at the same time... it's almost exciting. It makes him want to improve. Not just in battle but in all the other ways that matter too. Not for himself, not at first, but for Ramattra's approval. Because it's hard to earn, and it makes him feel seen. Appreciated in a way he hasn't been for a very long time.

But he will never admit this out loud.

He can no longer picture a life without him.

Ramattra doesn't fall for a very long time. Gabriel is prideful and stubborn in upholding the status quo. Frustrating. The very picture of everything he is fighting against. Until he gets a peak behind the bravado. Until he sees Gabriel's kindness and passion. Understands his loyalty. His guilt. And from there on Ramattra's innate curiosity is piqued. He wants to learn more about him. Not about the righteous hand of the Father. Not about heaven's brightest. About Gabriel. And he's more than happy to help Gabriel find out more about himself, outside of his divinely ordained roles. He doesn't even recognize he has fallen in love until he sees the archangel asleep in his bed. more relaxed than he ever has been in who knows how long. the realization hits him like a ton of bricks.
