They Deserve To Be Symbolically Dissected - Tumblr Posts

Isn't it fun?! And now we get to talk about it! Ok! The Devil! The Devil is a ROUGH card most of the time. That and The Tower (hi Kayne <3) are one of those you kinda wince at when they appear in your reading. The Devil generally represents those parts of yourself you wish to forget which is reciprocal in this image! One of my favorite parts about The Devil card is that the same couple from The Lovers card is depicted in front of The Devil. Now, remember that The Lovers can depict multiple types of relationships, not just romantic. John and Yellow are certainly related to one another! The fun thing about this pair that's depicted in The Devil is that the chains around their necks are loose. So, their connection to The Devil can be easily separated from and their imprisonment is not permanent. John and Yellow handle this differently. John is actively fighting against his connection to the King in Yellow. How is he doing this? Through his love of humanity. How is it suggested that one defeats these inner shadows that The Devil represents? You guessed it: love. Yellow is still shackled to The King in Yellow. He still presents that part of himself. This may not be entirely his fault though. Recall a main realization for Arthur was the fact that he didn't give Yellow the same chances he gave John and thus Yellow didn't develop like John did (and Larson certainly isn't going to give him that chance either). The two are depicted with the lighter between them showing that Arthur is a key piece in their realization that they can remove their connection to The King in Yellow.

okay okay okay I know for sure I’m doing Judgement for Noel, The Tower for Kayne, and The World for Faroe- I picked out Strength for the Butcher and The Devil for KIY, but I was less sure about those two, so lmk what you think or if you have other ideas !!!!!

Hello! Holy shit, that’s pretty much perfect right there!!

I also immediately slotted Kayne as Tower. Like, come on. Look at him.

I LOVE Strength as the Butcher so much actually. Balance of mind and heart? Mastery? Passion? Yes.

Faroe you could do as either The World or The Fool depending on how you want to swing it! Whether you want to look at it as an end to Arthur’s normalcy or a beginning to this whole new world and era you’ve been opened up to.

King in Yellow as The Devil? 100%. That raging passion. Being your own worst enemy? Having parts of you that are “defective”? Yeah, that’s him :]

I’ll end up doing another Malevolent as Tarot where I go more in depth but I LOVE THIS!
