The Tarot of Batneko pt. 2

Description

Alright! Second batch!

...no, no Spytanic tonight. Tomorrow or sunday.

Explanation:

Strength: There are two reasons that I chose Thirteen for Strength. First is that he has both physical and emotional strength. At least from what I can gather. Yeah, mebbe Blank would've been better, but he got a more prominant place.

The Hermit: This is the second reason - proximity with BB. Nero might have likewise sufficed given his closed-off attitude, but the Hermit has the element of unpredictability and treachery in addition to solitude and antisocial-ness. BB isn't treacherous, BUT he is a berserker-type, so I thought that this fit in nicely with his Arcana. Therefore, BB it is.

Wheel of Fortune: Curse you Batneko for not providing a suitable picture for every random situation any loony fan might possibly imagine! (Honestly, how thoughtless!) LOL. I tried to emulate Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe pictures - I'm not sure how well I succeeded. As for why it's Maya, it should be obvious: she's impulsive and unpredictable, either helping, hindering or just annoying. Case closed.

Justice: Should be obvious. Genderswapped since this is Batneko.

The Hanged Man: Again, Proximity. BUT also because, at least in the first game, Edgy has a lot of stuff that's miring him down, primarily in the fourth case... I won't say much, but the paralysis of the Hanged Man fitted him perfectly. And if you have to ask why he's upside down and has a halo, you clearly haven't ever seen the actual card. (Same with BB's lantern and Thirteen's Lion).

Death: Um, obvious much?

Temperance: Balance, light and darkness, mediation. What more is there?

The Devil: Why Dark and not, say, Gannondorf? Well, even though Ganon might work in any other context, the Devil card applies more to temptation and condemns the snaring of the senses (lust vs. love). And who could POSSIBLY be more lusty than dark? Srsly, u guyz. U guyz. Srsly!

Last installment coming soon, as well as the back design. Sorry, no plans for the Minor Arcana, now or ever. (SRSLY, 56 MORE cards? Does bats even HAVE that many characters? I mean, even if I fudged, that's a pretty big stretch!)

Awesome. You descriptions make total sense. ^^

You know, I probably do have 56 characters. But even I don't know them well enough to figure out who would be which card.
