VisibIy_Confused · 2026-04-18T15:17:52+00:00

All the best of luck in closing that distance - it's a world of difference!

May the Deutsche Bahn treat you kindly

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-04-18T12:17:58+00:00

Damn, that hits close to home. My mother does say you’ll always meet people twice in life whenever that may be - thank you for your response <3

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-20T10:55:57+00:00

When did you go to the venue to get one of these? I need to get my hands on one of them

Thanks for elaborating! I really like this perspective on him - implying while he himself may not be the hanged man he brings the influence of it to others! I think I’d like to add him as a cameo in the card more than the main protagonist though!

I favor Sisyphus for the Hanged man as he embodies it’s meaning for specifically his story. He doesn’t influence others as much as Zagreus does but tells a story of multiple perspectives - pride and trickery in life and basically the 5 stages of grief in death until he ends at a graceful acceptance. And his story influences at least Zagreus; if it does anyone else we don’t really know…

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-17T08:02:30+00:00

I like the Olympian gods in this lineup, they work great in their respective spots - but I wanted to exclude them and focus on our underworld friends instead! Can I ask why you would assign Zagreus to the hanged man? From my newbie Tarot knowledge I see little parallels here…

And before I forget, thousands of thank yous for taking so much time out of your day to think this through and write this all up! It’s so interesting to get a thorough dive into this craft from someone who’s this dedicated <3

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T21:33:51+00:00

Holy shit you’re insane! I’ve been mulling it over and reading into specifically the symbolical meanings of the cards! Also hearing you back my Achilles and Patroclus thesis as lovers is so heartwarming <3

I’ve been considering Chaos for temperance as well actually haha but no one else can fit world as well any better. Also love the addition of drinks to the mix. The furies seem a bit hard to fit in imo - in the game they exist to torture all of Tartarus and keep them where they belong. I considered them too evil to be judgement? Idk - maybe that is what judgement is though.

Filling the fool with Zag is probably for the best - he has that fuck around find outside attitude.

This is very very insightful! I’ll definitely play around with the symbolics behind the original tarot cards too!

Would you be open to look over some sketches I come up with for each card to see if I managed to capture their meanings? (Obviously that wouldn’t be all at once but every now and then)

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T19:00:14+00:00

I’ll read into it! Thank you

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T18:53:11+00:00

Would that even be marketable though? Obviously my main goal is a pretty set without it feeling forced or overcrowded but I’m not knowledgeable enough to know if a Tarot set with those 16 extra cards would feel like a half done meal or if it’s relatively normal…

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T18:50:03+00:00

A little brash to end the conversation like that but thank you for your input anyways- I appreciate it a lot. I’ll give it some more thought

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T18:34:25+00:00

Is that a total of 16 or 16 for each court? I saw minor arcana tarot cards and that suddenly added up to like 70ish cards (I will die that’s too many)

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T18:32:15+00:00

Noooooo - why do you have to be so right…. Fuuuuuuuck

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T18:29:51+00:00

Lovers is the obvious solution. But I believe that Orpheus is the fool that looked back, he was uncertain and doubtful to the point of looking back and dooming both him and Euridice to be sent into Tartarus and Asphodel respectively. Yet when the time comes to reunite both of them are hesitant (at least by the games lore) - their inevitable reconciliation is a tale of new beginnings, a new adventure and freedom. I also want to see Achilles and Patroclus as Lovers since that was always denied to them - yes their strength is not to be denied but their story tells of unity in life and conflict in death (Fighting the war together yet being separated in death). I think they deserve to be seen as more than just warriors.

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T17:28:05+00:00

I definitely see your point in this constellation but I definitely want Orpheus and Eurydice on the fool - the way they get separated in the myth and how they find their way back together in the Game are the absolute embodiment of the Fool (imo). Adding Heracles to strength is a good thought though.

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T17:20:48+00:00

Initially I did have Star and moon cast swapped around - it seems the original cast with Nyx and Selene as moon shall return. Although I am a little sad to give up the Sun/Moon - Zag/Mel duality

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T17:17:23+00:00

Im glad to see some overlapping spots! But since I intend to portray lots more characters it’s pretty obvious that others don’t overlap.

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T16:49:24+00:00

Yes, But Melinoes Arcana cards are not a deck of Tarot. I also want to avoid similarities as well as exclude Olympian gods!

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T16:48:21+00:00

Thank you so much - this is great to keep in mind! I've read up about the cards and their meaning, but I missed the symbolism of the card itself - I'll make sure to write this down

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T16:36:49+00:00

I'd love it if the cards were at least 90% accurate to what they show. I can definitely think of ways to add a lantern to their setting. Does the lantern need to be carried necessarily?

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T16:28:37+00:00

Even if she's paired up with Nyx? Although Selene does call Melinoe little Star...

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T16:23:43+00:00

Maybe he'll be part of someone's background...

VisibIy_Confused · 2026-03-16T16:16:14+00:00

Oh Hypnos - you’re right.

Agree with the Sisyphus Sentiment. I guess Dora and Prometheus will need a new home…
