Homestuck Tarot

So I got bored and decided to invent some correspondences between the Major Arcana and the 12 trolls, the 8 kids, UU, and LE. There's only one or two real stretches.

  1. The Fool, John
  2. The Magician, Rose
  3. The High Priestess, Kanaya
  4. The Empress, Feferi
  5. The Emperor, Gamzee
  6. The Hierophant, Dirk
  7. The Lovers, Sollux
  8. The Chariot, Tavros
  9. Justice, Terezi
  10. The Hermit, UU
  11. Wheel of Fortune, Vriska
  12. Strength, Equius
  13. The Hanged Man, Karkat
  14. Death, Aradia
  15. Temperance, Jane
  16. The Devil, Eridan
  17. The Tower, Jake
  18. The Star, Dave
  19. The Moon, Roxy
  20. The Sun, Nepeta
  21. Judgement, LE
  22. The World, Jade

Most are self-explanatory.

Gamzee is clearly sober, which explains why he isn't the Fool.

Dirk got to be the Hierophant because there aren't really any religious characters, but the card kind of carries the connotation of spiritual guide, which sort of works.

The Lovers is Sollux pre-KO, The Chariot is Tavros with robot legs.

Jake is the Tower because we have all this LE-related foreshadowing involving him.

I dunno, what do you think?

EDIT: Flipped Jane and Jade. Totally better now.

Cool idea, I love tarot cards - there's more then just these though... (The Minor Arcana, and the Court cards ; You listed all/most of Major Arcana)

Ace of swords is one of my favorites, fits either Spades Slick or Soveriegn Slayer perfectly.

Queen of Swords, Black Queen/Snowman

King of Swords, Bec Noir

The Tower- Jake

made me think of The Dark Tower

I'll never be able to get that out of my mind. Jake seems more like Roland than Jake though, even if only because dual wielding pistols.

Hello there, new art project!

I kinda think Jade should be the world seeing as she shrank down 5 planets and carried them.

Oh. That totally makes more sense. Flipping the two now.

Actually, I personally think Nepeta would work better as Strength, because that card means quiet, gentle strength, not the kind of strength Equius has. I don't quite see how sober Gamzee is the Emperor, since the Emperor is a father figure.
