ASOIAF Tarot post of DOOM

[hamsterwoman]

So I said to myself, hey, the westerosorting Tully bonus is ending soon, I should make some icons with Tullys on them. Three days of frantic activity, blowing off my f-list, going to bed past 1 a.m. (in spite of having to get up at 5:30), and sore wrists later, I have this sprawling icon set, only 2 of which are in any way related to Tullys. It would've been

As I've already stated elsewhere, I really love these.

So, now when are you starting on the rest of the Minor Arcana? (just kidding... sort of! ~_^ ) Wonder what images could be used for the various minor arcana cards... Ooooh, wouldn't that make an interesting discussion topic?

[hamsterwoman]

I've actually considered the rest of the Minor Arcana --even though that's patently CRAZY! I mostly considered it because the Red Wedding would make SUCH a stellar Ten of Swords card -- wouldn't it just? In fact, the whole suit of Swords should be pretty easy with ASOIAF -- it's finding something to fill out the Cups with that might be a challenge. At least until the end of the series, and probably even then... Unless one goes for the time before the series actually starts, I suppose...

[sheiannasherra]

Yes, you can't get much closer to the ten of swords than the Red Wedding. I do agree that finding images for the Cups suite would be a challenge. Swords and Wands would be fairly easy and even Coins not too difficult but Cups... a bit more of a problem.

[hamsterwoman]

Yeah, Coins could be filled out between Lannisters, Tyrells, and various folks like Littlefinger and Illyrio and so on, and Wands or Swords wouldn't be a problem, but Cups would be kind of tough. I will probably end up thinking about it, even though I'm afraid I'll get sucked in to the same matrix as with the Major Arcana... :P

I think that even amidst all the negativity and violence of the series, there are definitely some cups/emotions moments too. And not all the cup cards are happy either.
