Triple Zero

Quote from: Alty on February 12, 2010, 09:31:12 PM
It's meant as intellectual smothering. Where all the ideas and knowledge you have point to irrevocable bad.

At least, that's always what I got out of it.

I always figured it's the "cartoon death", like the anvil or the piano on the head ... 10 swords in the guy's back is a little over the top, right? :lulz:

That's good imagery for it.

Perhaps I'm thinking of something else...
Then again, assigning these cards to perfectly match any of our personalities is fairly arbitrary at best. I'm usually reluctant to apply them to people directly.

I guess I was thinking of Jason's intensity when he gets pissed off about that kind of thing.

Also, I'm fairly unconventional (read: willy-nilly) about my interpretations of the cards.

That's why I wanted to be the fish guy. Not because it paritcularly fits me, but just because one evening late, I looked at the card and was all like WTF why is there a fish in his cup??? that is just ridiculous and absurd.

So I went on a googling spree to find out the significance in the symbolism (as every single bit on every of the rider-waite set is symbolic for something or other), turns out nobody really knows for sure, but the most reasonable explanation I found was that the fish was symbolic for a secret, shared only between the fish and the Page. and the secret is "hahaaa I know why I have a  fish in my cup, but you don't neener neener neener"

And that is just brilliant.

But then, I generally think Tarot is just hilarious.

Enki has redeemed himself!


Now, how about that Vanna White w0mp of me as the "wheel of fortune" card, and Queen of Swords?   :fap:


Halfway done.

HEEHEE!

It's even rainbow-y at the bottom!

As long as I'm the prettiest princess, that suits me fine.  :D



I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

I am a man of science, but in the spirit of the thread I took some personality quiz and it told me I am "The Star" tarot card.

What is this I don't even

You astrike me as a Prince of swords sort.

Already claimed, not that anyone paid attention.

If someone wants to gather up the claims that haven't been fulfilled, that would be useful. I'm no longer quite sure who is what card.

You could always just try, I don't know, reading the thread?  If that's not too much of a challenge, sweetheart.  I wouldn't want you to strain yourself over reading 10 pages or anything.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

Hey Fred, is it OK if we use your drawring of EOT as an elf for his card?

There might be some confusion as different people use and have learned different decks. Admittedly, I've mainly used the Thoth deck.

We should all try and use the same terminology so it doesn't get all fucked up. So:
-King
-Queen
-Knight
-Page

No prince or princesses. I know I contributed to the confusion, but hopefully we can all keep from
getting out of hand.

Rococo Modem Basilisk

I have just searched for the card name on google images, grabbed whatever card would fit the photo, and used it. No coherent single deck will come of that without bending the rules, of course.

Sure. That makes sense. But for the purpose of our deck here, our finished product we should agree to a single set of names.

And Cain did call the knight of swords.
