D.Gray-Man TAROT CARD ZINE Application Form for ANALYSTS and ARTISTS Open Today 4/18 and Closing 5/2!
CALLING ALL D.GRAY-MAN ARTIST AND ANALYSTS WHO LOVE TO ANALYZE THE SERIES!
Over the last two years we collaborated with over 150 artists to produce the 20th and 21st Anniversary Zines, projects dedicated to honoring the numerous moments that defined it as a story worth loving. For 2026, we look to honor the deep symbolism and character themes woven into D.Gray-Man with a Tarot Card project.Ā
This Tarot Zine will rely on contributors' ability to translate symbolism, story themes and character arcs into Tarot Cards. A Tarot deck, at the end of the day, is about the human experience and a vehicle to relay a story. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT TAROT OR BE EXPERTS TO PARTICIPATE! We will provide references and consultants will be there to help.
There are THREE ways to participate to the Zine :
Major Arcana or Minor Arcana Artist (78 slots): As an artist, you will create an illustration which encompasses your assigned Arcana Card. (i.e. Being assigned āThe Foolā card and depicting Allenās journey) You are tasked with understanding and doing research on your specific card and making sure your final illustrations reflect the established lore.
Tarot Analyst (Up to 22 slots): As an Analyst, you will transcribe the meaning of your assigned Arcana card and analyse their link with a DGM character or moment within the story. You do not have to know tarot deeply to be an analyst, just be someone who appreciates the symbolism and themes of DGM and willing to do research! This role will essentially be tasked with character and/or story analysis through the lens of Tarot with a final organized and written piece that'll accompany the art card in the Zine.
Tarot Specialist : we are looking for people really familiar with Tarot and DGM, and would like to be a potential resource for your fellow Artists and Analysts!Ā
Mods : You do not have to apply to be a mod, but if you want to help us organize this zine please leave a comment or PM us!
If you havenāt seen it already, please check out our 2025 project from last year: Iconic Moments 21st Anniversary Zine. Just like all of our previous projects, this project will be free to view once completed. This is just our yearly tribute to the series we all love very dearly.
For all information related to the project inclusive of dates, role expectations and expectations, please read through our updated 2026 Tarot Project Guidelines!
If you're unsure about your English level, mods fluently speak English, French, Spanish, and Japanese and other contributors will surely be able to help you for other languages. If you have any questions, leave a comment below or send a PM.
The Application Form for the DGM Tarot Card Zine is here!Ā
Please share this post so that other DGM fans can see it! On that note, welcome aboard!
I thought which some characters from DGM will be as animals:
Millennium Earl - Bear (Human) and Hippo (Costume). Bears are looking cuddly and friendly, but dangerous, also bears are one of the popular animals that circuses used in past. Hippos are big, gray creatures with big teeth and highly dangerous.
Allen - Fox. From orange pup to grey coloured young adult.
Cross - Red-maned wolf
Lavi and Panda - Red panda and Panda (Lol)
Lulu Bell - Cat. Simple black one.
Road - Least weasel. This small predator is very brave and bloodthirsty.
Kanda - Wolf
Tyki - Panther
Sheryl - Lion
Wisely - Western barn owl. People generally associates owls with wisdom and vigilance.
Jasdero and Devit - Hyenas
Kroly - Fruit bat (irony)
Komui and Lenalee - Thorold's deer and doe
Jasdero and Devit as hyenas are so on point I can't believe I've never thought about it.
I can see Sheryl as a Lion but like... Hear me out
Hi, since it's nearly Tyki's birthday, can i request some general headcannon about him. With or without reader is fine. Thanks you so much<3
Yes. Yes, you can. In fact, I insist on it. I swear, I try to be normal about Tyki, I just can't
Tyki Mikk Headcanons:
I donāt think many people out of his family know his birthday. Like, with Sheryl he doesnāt have much of a choice, and by extension the rest of the clan but, his human friends most likely donāt know.
Changes the subject whenever it appears.
Might as well have stolen from Sheryl if the child he travels with got sick and needed a doctor and/or treatment. Something like a candlestick or a candelabrum, perhaps would trade or put on sale his fancy clothes too. I donāt think heās very attached to them.
I think a large part of the fandom agrees that he can cook. I donāt know if he can do anything too elaborate, but he can feed himself quite well.
Related to that, he isnāt much of a picky eater. Probably can swallow anything.
Drinks his coffee black because of course he does.
Wine guy, but will be content with a beer in most cases.
Very likely would happily take on the role of househusband. Donāt ask me about this, just a feeling.
If left alone he will zone out during long trips. Eyes to the window and mind empty.
He pegged me as the kind of person who has the most bizarre dreams. Like, absolute madness and nonsense. Might or might not have dreamed about a fish chasing after him to eat him.
Tell stories to Eeez when he thinks nobody is listening.
He has a soft spot for that child and no one can convince me otherwise, thank you.
When he had long hair, he let Road style it when she was bored.
If we found out he was a bit of a prick during his teenage I wouldnāt be surprised.
This man loves very deeply. I donāt mean just as romantically, but in general. I think that when he loves, he loves a lot.
a dgm blog still active you are god's strongest soldier <3
I mean I try my best... Thank you! It means a lot coming from you if I'm honest. I don't even remember how long I have been following your blog, it must be one of the very first ones I found back then in the good old daysā¦ I think. I don't remember.
It's great to see you back btw! (ļ¾āć®ā)ļ¾*:ļ½„ļ¾ā§
Can I please have HCs of Earl (Adam) as father, please? And good to see you back!
Bro, I have another 12 requests before this one but they came to me so easily is nuts. I never answer anything this fast? Like, I got the notification in my phone and my brain already came up with half of this in an instant. Thanks for the request, I haven't had this much fun writing in a while (āæā”āæā”)
Also, Iām glad to be back!
Actually excited to be a dad. Very into it. Shame he kinda sucks.
Like, he really, really, really wants to be a good dad, really butā¦ he doesnāt know how to?
He cried when the baby was bornā¦ A lot.
He cries when they cry.
Adam would spoil his kid rotten like, 100% sure his spawn would be a brat. No surprises there if I'm honest. His child would have no perception of the worth of things while growing up, if the parenting is only on him I hardly believe this baby would grow up to be a decent person.
Iām absolutely convinced that without intervention his kid could grow up to be sociopaths or psychopaths.
He would most likely sing to them.
He is the kind of father who doesnāt want his daughter to marry or date but wants grandchildren.
Unfortunately, I do think he would treat his child differently based on their gender. Like, there would be an abysmal difference. He would love a boy or girl the same amount but in different ways.
If he had twins for whatever reason he might get triggered. I can see him a bitā¦ Erā¦ delicate? Unstable?... Something like that.
Aināt sure if he would actually harm his kids, a big part of me wants to believe that he wouldnāt buuuuutā¦ I meanā¦ To be honest, I think He wouldnāt want to harm them eitherā¦ Agl is out of his control. Sometimes he just getsā¦ weird.
He gets really mad at himself for that.
He gaslights his children into forgiving him and himself to keep doing it.
Legitimately loves his children, he just doesnāt know the healthy way to do so.
He would trust Road with the baby.
She is surprisingly good with them. If she cares enough, she might find a smart way to protect them from āweird-momentsā Adam.
You know, I feel like his partner would change his parenting style a lot, so let me know if you want more cuz boooy, I realize that I can keep going. Even thought some Tyki HCs while writing these ones(? Tho, to be honest, when am I not thinking about Tyki?
Please don't be sorry! Your wellbeing is important and first priority! We will patiently wait for you awesome writing! Take care of yourself, rest and be happy!
To these two people, I know this was a while ago, I do, but since the moment I received these messages I've been wanting to answer. Mostly because they really make me feel better in what I can say confidentially was the worst moment of my life (physically speaking) and I don't think I get to say thank you enough times to actually express it.
I know, I know 'White, very cute and all but this was months ago' You're right, for whatever reason I couldn't answer right asap, and after a while went by I felt like maybe it was going to be weird if I did now?? But, I wanted to. Really. I'm sure, if it weren't for the hospitals collapsing at the moment I would probably have gotten hospitalized. You know it's bad when the doctor says you are worse than you should be, their faces whenever I let them know that just 10 days ago I was with COVID was gold, really... That and when they told me to inform them immediately if I noticed any bleeding and I had to ask if my period was something to worry about. Never seen a face change so fast in real life :)
Wisely and Isekai!Reader as old tumblr meme in Reader's mind played TikTok memes
To be honest I feel like at some point Wisely would get used to it and just start hyper-focusing on the reader's mind whenever he feels overwhelmed. Like, trying to escape from everyone's thoughts by focusing on the music in their brain? In my case would be the plants vs zombies themeā¦ I dunno why thoā¦ (ć_ć)
But at first, he would be bewildered, 'what the fuck' is a plausible reaction.
Sorry I don't really have TikTok, hope I didn't fail ya'all
Hi, can we have an scenario with Fem!Reader and True Noah Tyki form? Like the reader (also his lover) thought that he will hurt or kill her in this form, only to be forced to cuddle with him on floor, while purring in deep and loud voice š¤
I am so, so sorry about how long it took me to get into writing ą²„āæą²„ Honestly, I was kind of sick when the requests started coming in, I think, I'm not sure of the exact dates but it must been pretty much close to it.
Moral of the story, don't have COVID and dengue altogether, you will suffer.
(Also I wanted to thank those who sent me nice words, I've been wanting to answer since I received them but I was too weak and have been thinking about it since then but just never answer.)
Now, in more optimistic news, I write something! I translated it with the help of ChatGPT, (I write in a pretty bad Span-English most of the time) it was far more quickly than it usually takes me to translate things, and with my very limited English knowledge, I would say is fine, if you notice something's off let me know so I'll never use it again Ā (ļ¾āć®ā)ļ¾*:ļ½„ļ¾ā§
Two days passed since the Ark incident. Two days in which Tyki hadnāt awakened. You stayed by his side the entire time, sitting in a chair next to his bed. You hardly slept; he didn't allow you to. Every now and then, you would hear him, and it broke your heart to see him writhing in pain in bed, his moans and groans keeping you alert.
In these two days, you hadn't been able to get rid of the oppression in your chest thatās been overwhelming you since Adam returned to the new Ark with Tyki slung over his shoulder. Your mouth had gone dry, and your stomach churned. You rushed to them, and the Earl told you what had happened in a more optimistic tone than you would have liked to hear at that moment. He left Tyki in your care, fully trusting that you could handle it alone, and then he left, leaving you with the unconscious Noah. Since then, you've stayed by his side, wiping the sweat from his face and managing to feed and give him water.
Road visited you, but you noticed something was off about her. Her movements seemed oddly calculated, her eyes lacked their usual sparkle, her voice was weak, and you were sure her hair color dulled occasionally. You deduced that she hadn't come out of the battle unscathed and was tired, whether much or little. You sent her to recover, and somewhat reluctantly, she obeyed, not without warning you to be careful, the man you were caring for so lovingly might not be your partner. After reminding you to call her or Sheryl in case of an emergency, she left.
A growl brought you back to reality. Tyki was trembling, curled up. You dampened a clean cloth in fresh water and tried to uncover his face, which he kept hidden under the blankets.
"Tyki?" you asked, leaning over him on the bed. "Love?"
The Noah's growls grew louder, and in a movement you didn't fully understand, you fell to the floor along with the chair you had been anchored to for the past two days. The blankets moved as if there were a fight underneath, and you knew what it was.
The tentacles were not new to you; you had seen them before, hours after the Earl returned with Tyki, to be exact. You had already learned not to get too close in those moments. The small cut on your right palm started to bother youāa mark that would stay as a reminder of the first incident, a visible and tangible sign of the lesson learned.
Without standing up, you slowly crawled away from the bed. You sat in the corner near the door in case you needed to leave, and with your eyes fixed on the movement of the sheets, you waited. The growls intensified, the sheets tore, and the tentacles waved, twisted, and abruptly stopped. You could see how the Noah's back slowly straightened. His hair, now long, cascaded from his shoulders, and you couldn't help but shiver. The cold silence of the room chilled your bones. Your trembling fingers tried to grip the wooden floor, scratching it. In a blink, the Noah's figure towering above you.
And you could see his golden eyes. Those eyes you had seen thousands of times before, the same eyes that not long ago looked at you with the love and tenderness of the most devoted lover, now stared at you coldly and expressionlessly. This wasnāt Tyki.
You automatically understood the situation. You scanned the room frantically with your gaze, looking for Lero, but he wasn't there. Your breath caught, your heart stopped, and you bit your lips to stifle the small sob that fear had left in your throat.
You slipped a hand under the skirt of your dress; you had some talismans hidden in your stockings for emergencies, thinking, you could stop Joyd long enough to find Lero and improvise from there.
With a rough shove, the Noah pulled you from the corner and dragged you to the carpet in the center of the room while you took out the talismans and hid them in your sleeve. Before you could even remember the spell to use them, Joyd straddled you, a predatory smile on his lips and a sadistic gleam in his eyes. He leaned closer, buried his face in the crook of your neck, and inhaled deeply. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. You could see his posture relax, starting with the muscles in his shoulders followed by his back. He rested his forehead on your shoulder and slid his arms around your waist, hugging you tightly and nuzzling into your chest.
You waited for him to do something else, but that something never came.
"Tyki?" you asked again. Your shoulders tensed involuntarily when you heard him growl. "Joyd!" you corrected yourself immediately. "Joyd, Joyd," you repeated. "I'm sorry."
He nuzzled against you a bit more, and you couldn't help but giggle. Moved by tenderness, you hugged him back, and you could swear he started to purr.
It wasn't Tyki who controlled the body, but it was his body, and you remembered this when moved by instinct, you planted a soft kiss on his forehead before cuddling him to your chest. His body was so familiar that touching it felt easy, natural, right.
You stayed embraced for a while, the tik-tok of the clock and the loud growls of Joyd lured you to rest until he lifted his face slightly, just enough for your eyes to meet. And there it was. They were still the same golden eyes but now shone with an affection you knew by heart.
"Name?" Tyki asked in a husky voice. His eyes were half-closed, like someone who had just woken up.
"Yes?" you whispered, holding his gaze, your voice a fragile and warm murmur. A sound that felt comforting in the cold silence of the dark room.
He buried his face in your chest again. "Nothing," he sighed. He was too tired and in too much pain to think. The warmth and comfort of your embrace kept him sleepy and calm.
You slid a hand through his hair, lulling him, while the other traced circles on his back.

Soā¦ I have a bit of an announcement to make. Itās hard for me to make and I donāt really know how to eloquently state it, so I just will.
In early July I was diagnosed with cancer, and a rare form of cancer too. Rare enough that the closest specialist is four hours away. Thankfully from what Iāve been told so far, my prospects look good, but weāve been playing it by ear. However, the time between now and recovery may be long, painful and far too expensive.
Ā And thatās the difficult part for me to bring up. I was working on a tight budget even before my health became an issue, but itās even more so now. With medical and school bills now on top of my already strict funds it feels like Iām drowning. Iāve been taking up more hours at work even though I should be on bed rest just to make ends meet, but this will only last so long.
With encouragement from a friend, I set up a donation page on my Ko-fi, now I wonāt ask you to donate. But just reading this and possibly sharing this post will be more than enough help! I hope you all will be understanding as well if my content becomes less frequent because of this major life event and I appreciate your patience. However, if you do find that it is possible to help in these trying times, I am so grateful.
Either way if you decide to donate, share this post or have simply read to the end, I wish to say thank you. It has always been my dream to share my passion and work with others and to inspire those who see it. You all make me feel seen and have inspired me to be more. Thank you for making my dream come true and I hope to share more with you all for a long time to come.
I just imagined, that if Allen, Kanda, Komui and Tyki (I doubt that Noah can reproduce, but this imagine is for funnies) have a child and the minute the father isn't looking, their toddler snatching flying near them Timcampy (Allen) or Teez (Tiky) or personal flying Order golem (Kanda and Komui) and starts chewing and licking it š¤
THIS WOULD HAPPEN! Wait, hold up, listen
I donāt think it would be a big problem for Allen, Kanda, or Komui since the golems aināt meant to cause harm. Even more, I think Allen and Komui would actually find it cute and Kanda wouldnāt care that much (still would take it out of the child's mouth 'cause disgusting).
Buuuuuut the Teez? That is like the Tyki equivalent of going for a glass of water and returning to find your child licking on a knife like, the panic Tyki would feel at that moment, I swear his soul would fall to his feet.
Soooo to everyone that has send request in lately, I want you all to know that I'll be answering them, I'm sorry is taking this long is just that last week i had covid and now is very likely that I have dengue sooo
Yeah, I'm feeling like shit. I'm really sorry guys there are some request I'm super excited to write but my whole body hurts and I kinda broke my fever record today, didn't even knew someone could have that much temperature.
I'll be writing as soon as I get better, I promise!
