How Does One Turn The Categorical Imperative Into A Cutie Mark?

How does one turn the categorical imperative into a cutie mark?

I'M SO GLAD YOU SEE THE VISION. ive been spending so much time thinking about this concept now that its gotten the gears turning and have been squinting at the witch and larson now since i feel like i need to dissect them as violently as possible. the witch reads as justice to me, ironically, mostly with her "i will help you the way *I* understand how" objectivity, and her conversation with john in part 43, suggesting an inverse reading of the card very hard. a lot of her casual hubris (in the very literal definition; a mortal believing she knows better than a god what he wants) also adds to inverse justice as well; also her backstory of being scorned by humanity and thus choosing to scorn it back as retribution. idk she just pulls on a lot of themes of the justice arcana - karma, cause and effect, balance of choice and consequence. she does the things she does because she feels it is Right and Good that way and a reset to How Things "Should" Be larson's kinda tricky though. hard to pinpoint overall narratives that would Fit cleanly but the closest i come to is the hierophant. both for the symbolism of a holy person, as well as the upholding of existing institutions and simultaneously tearing them down (reversed). its the wild comparison between being an immortal fuck that Owns A Town and Maintains A Household while being part of a ages-old cult - and at the same time commandeering a god fragment for a revenge plot and abusing the trust his daughter had in him to sacrifice her for power. both the existing institutions as well as the hunger to outstretch More of that power. exoteric wielding of power as opposed to the high priestess.

once again. i dont do this regularly i just have brainrot now. feel free to check my work. i need to study them both like bugs that i can shake around in their enclosure

It took me way too long to answer this (summer courses be kickin my ASS rn). I offer you a hot cocoa with peppermint and the absolute wettest and most apologetic eyes I can muster <3. I actually fuck with the idea of Larson being Hierophant heavy. I think that suits him very well. On top of everything you've mentioned up above (which I LOVE) Hierophant is very tied to reliance on the divine or supernatural. HELLO! I feel like no matter what area we focus on in Season 3 or 4, that fits him so well. Yes, yes, yes. Now the real question is who or what are the Monks of Roses (heart) and Lilies (soul) on the card, hmm? And The Witch! Oh, I truly don't know. It almost makes me wish that we had a bit more time with her to be able to determine all the ins and outs of her. I really need to relisten to Part 43 again to make a determination on that. I really like what you're saying about relating her to Justice though. You're right! It feels like such an ironic thing but with everything that you're saying, it really works! WAIT WAIT DOES THIS MEAN YORICK IS THE HIGH PRIESTESS?? WAIT WHY DOES THAT WORK AND WHY IS IT SO FUNNY-

Some of my favorites are: 1.) Kayne's "I have such wonders to show you" at the end of Malevolent Part 40 "The Order" II 2.) The Butcher holding Arthur outside of the caboose above the train tracks in Part 29 "The Train" 3.) Literally anything from the Benevolent Christmas Special I absolutely adore your work, and your TMA screenshots rotate in my brain constantly <3.

Any specific Malevolent scenes y’all want me to make a fake screenshot from? I want suggestions.

I’m fully caught up now so anything is up for grabs. (drop a ask or not. idc.)

The finale of Second Citadel emotionally destroyed me. I'm not ready for Juno Steel to end as well. ;^;

Ya know, I'm not sure what I expected when I joined Tumblr but to be quoted Clone High at by one of my favorite podcast artists, I will admit, was not on my bingo card. Tumblr really is a magical place, innit?

Y’ALL

Can y’all imagine Detective Noel from Malevolent in something like this??

HELLO SAILOR!!
