A Galaxy Girl Tarot?

This is just a silly notion that popped out of nowhere, but how about making a tarot deck based on the Galaxy Girl crowd? Setting up screenshots and doing some Photoshop magic on them.

Say, Doc Temporis as the Hierophant, Ellie as the Emperess, Jest Er as the Magican ... Okay, probably not the best matches, (I'm out of the loop,) but you get the idea.

Okay, so some of the aspects of the cards (the dog on the Fool, Justice's scales and so on) will be hard to pull off; but it might still be a fun project.

Oh, forgot to add a linkt to this description of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot

I'd actually make Zortel the Empress, and Jest er as the Fool, Crow as the Magician. ;-) I could probably do the whole deck right here and now

I thought about Jest er as the Fool, but I don't think that work except very superficially. The tarot card "The Fool" doesn't really mean "fool" as in "jester", but more as someone who is thoughtless, doesn't see ahead and ignores warnings and just goes on ahead.

Hmm, looking through that list...

The Lovers: Juan/Mina or Sam/Alex?
The Magician: War Crow, Grav Mistress, Madame Midnight?
The High Priestess: Hikari (Well, in a sense she is the high priestess and avatar of Mujaki no Kami), Stargazer?
The Star: Miss Ellie?
Death: Jane, gotta be Jane.
The Tower: Tower of Power, or any of the large, sturdy peeps we have at the statue?
The Empress: Zortel (She's already a sort of empress, being CEO of ZorTel Industries.)
The Emperor: Alan Drake (Same kind of job as Zori, but male.)

VII The Chariot - Miss Ellie

Yeah... I object!!!

Ellie and Grav should be The Lovers! Seeing as they just got engaged!

Or Ellie swaps with Min.. She's a much worse chariot than Ellie! And Ellie's as bright as a star, so she'd fit as a sun...

Because it would just look so cool, with the sheeres and the hat ;-)

Last Judgement, doing it in style. ;-)

shame there's less cards than regular GGers ^_^

Sorry, but Ellie and Grav don't really have an unblemished record of being lovers, and haven't really been exclusive. Neither have Mina and Juan, hence Alex and Sam. ;-)

But she isn't -as- innocent in some areas as Minako, who against all the odds believes in the goodness of people, even when they are beyond hope. No, sorry, Miss Ellie's stuck being a Chariot.

That's just the major arcana -- there's a large number of lesser aracana cards too.

Well, I can hardly counter an argument based on the inherent styleishness of hats, now can I?

Gabbleduck'd be cool as Last Judgement, with the words "LOST CONNECTION TO MAPSERVER" plastered across the card!!

Sam and Alex are perfect as The Lovers, they've been engaged for ages! And are THE cutest couple at GG!

Yeah, the higher suit doesn't have enough cards for everyone, but thankfully, there's 52 lower suit cards, each one with its own meaning!


 

Posted

The problem is I have not really been at GG very much the last few weeks, so I have missed a lot of the new-comers and thus don't know their personalities. :-(

Hopefully this will soon change, I would really like to get to know them all better. Then I shall redo the list and include the other cards too. In the mean time, my list is only a suggestion, feel free to make your own. :-)

It's true. Alex and Samantha have been together for ages, since June-ish, and that's a long time in GG timelines. And they're engaged too.

Meanwhile, Miss Ellie has been attracted to Kiyarii, gone out with Mileena, kissed Kiyarii, broke up with Milleena and started going out with Grav, who was dating Yoko and then they split up and then went out with Ellie.

They've been exclusive, just... with two other people! Besides, Juan stays with Mina despite the bundle of trouble she is. That takes lots of love!

Yes, but that's one way, Juan makes sacrifices for Mina, but what does Mina do in turn to deserve that, and Juan can't be the Lovers by himself.

(Disclaimer; This is meant as a joke)

ROTFLMAO!

Having read up on the card, (thanks to Leif_Roar's link) I find this a good match.


@ShadowGhost & @Ghostie
The Grav Mistress, Mistress of Gravity

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.

Actually, it was more like: Attracted to Kiyarii, gone out with Mileena, got kissed BY Kiyarii, broke up with Mileena, then Grav broke up with Yoko, THEN Ellie...

Ah.. who am I kidding... OK, she's a chariot...
