Two of Pentacles and Ace of Wands

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a symbolic Pair of Round Things must be in want of a symbolic Long Thing.

It's here!

This commission from @thegoblinwitchqueen for A Matter of Pride is everything I could've asked for and more!! I had wanted a Tarot Card style cover for this story and felt that the Two of Pentacles was a perfect fit for the dual natures of both Solas and Ellana. When upright, this card can represent balance, adaptability an flexibility. While reversed, it can allude to imbalances, being overwhelmed, loss, and bad decisions.

... which, when I flip this image back and forth, exactly describes either Ellana or Solas depending on the moment.

My infinite thanks and amazement to @thegoblinwitchqueen for this amazing piece. ❤️

Chapter 11 of A Matter of Pride, An Evening of Smoke, went live today, and you can read it on AO3!

this is just a beginners guide to the pentacles suit - i won't go into imagery, color use, etc. these are key phrases that come to mind when i think of the cards - NOT how they should be directly applied. they needs to be thought about situationally and the cards / when they are in combos they can change or alter their meanings of any reading.

Group 1: Minerva

Love Language – Six of Pentacles rev.

Giving & Receiving Gifts

Ways they show love – Ace of Cups

As we connect the Ace of Cups with the love language receiving gifts, I can tell your person really loves giving. This might be obvious because of the name of the love language, but it’s like they can’t relax until they give the people they love something. There is definite creative energy so a lot of the gifts they enjoy giving others are self-created. They might paint, write poetry, crochet, etc. They often come up with an idea and think “This person would LOVE something like this” and they go for it.  This person could see something at the store, too, and have an intense need to buy it because they thought of someone when they saw it. For this person, the love is really coming from thinking of others’ joy rather than the physical gift.

Ways they receive love –The Hermit

Just as their gifts come from a place of understanding their loved ones, your person feels most loved when they can tell someone put thought into the gifts they give to them. Your person cares less about the monetary value of gifts and more about the sentiment. Maybe you know their favorite color so you wrote them a note with a pen that has that color ink. Maybe you bought them a book about Italy because they mentioned in passing that they always wanted to learn more or visit. The idea that someone is truly listening to them makes them feel more special than anything.

Group 2: Vesta

Love Language – Seven of Pentacles & The Star

Acts of Service

Ways they show love – Two of Pentacles rev.

If your person sees an opportunity to help, they do it. It never crosses their mind if they’re busy, supposed to be working on something for themselves, or if they don’t have the energy. When they see someone they love in need, they feel a sense of responsibility. They don’t want their loved ones to feel overwhelmed so they take the burden off their shoulders for them. I will say, they get a little over invested sometimes and other aspects of their life can be put on the backburner. They are never expectant of anything in return. They do it because it feels right.

Ways they receive love – Four of Wands rev. & The Hanged Man rev.

This part is interesting because they don’t necessarily need others to do things for them to feel appreciated. However, when someone does something without asking, knowing that it will make the day a little easier, it fills their heart with love. Because they overexert themselves for others, the idea that someone simply sees their stress without it being directly communicated takes a huge weight off their shoulders (that, sometimes, they don’t even realize they have).  Additionally, when someone straight up tells them to slow down and take time for themselves, they feel a sense of ease run through them. Again, it’s the idea of being seen and someone taking care of them. It is an act of service in and of itself to tell this person to take a breath.

Group 3: Philotes

Love Language – Two & Three of Wands

Quality Time

Ways they show love – Judgement & The World (20 & 21)

The word “quality” is the part of this love language that is really standing out. Both in these two cards and with the two & three of wands. The idea of investing in something, someone, or someplace is what radiates love through your person. Listening is a huge aspect of how your person shows their love to others. When they get with those they love, they make it a point to put down distractions and get into the heart of the conversation. They are happy to strategize with anyone who needs it. They are there to affirm when needed. Or they are there simply as a sounding board. This person wants to make the best of every interaction. They’re frequently thinking of how an experience will elevate their life and the life of who they’re with.  

Ways they receive love – The Emperor

This person feels most loved when someone makes a pointed effort to be present in their time together. Someone who is a reciprocal participant in the conversation or activity. They love someone who makes them think outside the box. It shows them in its own way that the person they’re talking to has taken information to heart. They also love someone who will create plans of actions with them. Not only is the planning session quality time, but you’re sketching out a specific time TO have quality interactions with them.  

Group 4: Pasithea

Love Language – Three of Swords

Words of Affirmation

Ways they show love – The World rev.

Your person shows their love by reminding others’ of the bright side of every situation. They have a way of bringing closure to negative thoughts. The feelings may not go away completely, but your person can always be relied on to be a reminder that life is wonderful, even when it feels most awful. Your person is a great cheerleader, too. If their loved ones have an idea, are starting a project, or have completed a goal they are there the whole way to encourage and then congratulate. They never let their loved ones go a day without knowing they’re loved and appreciated.

Ways they receive love – Two of Pentacles rev.

Your person is likely an overthinker and the way that they feel loved is when someone reminds them that everything is going to be okay. Simply hearing those words can slow down soo many of their racing thoughts. The song “Intrusive Thoughts” by Lola Young just came on my spotify at this portion and it feels like perfect timing. Even though this person is great at helping others see the bright side, sometimes they can’t do it for themselves. When someone else does this for them, they feel more at peace. If there is a cheerleader for them when they start a new project, that also helps them feel loved. Just knowing there is someone there to say “Hey, you’re doing great!” makes their days a bit brighter.

He is divinity omniscient

Seeing the world revolve with spite

The surge of humanity oblivious

To the divine bringeth light

Let there be night

Sodo as Two of Pentacles because balance or whatever. The Latin translation of “as above, so below” is super rough - I did try to search for the best ways to translate it but this was the simplest and most aesthetically pleasing.

ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ

[character-tarot]

The Two of Pentacles represents balance, juggling responsibilities, adaptability, profit and loss, and partnership. Reversed, it indicates disorganization, lack of balance, being overwhelmed, too many responsibilities, and overextension.

Propaganda- "HEAR ME OUT! Serana starts off with no one in her corner but the Dragonborn, who really only helps her because she asks you nicely. She spends some time with the Volkihar, but if you're like me and you stick with the Dawnguard, she eventually seeks you out of her own volition, risking her own life in the process, because at this point you're the only one who hasn't betrayed her or tried to use her for their own ends. After that point the two of you are partners in crime and spend your time working as equals, helping to subvert Serana's role in the prophecy and stop the world from ending. The two of you are best beds by the end of the plotline, having literally gone to hell and back for each other, and you'll put your absolute trust in each other even when facing down her scheming parents, an undead dragon, and the creator of the prophecy himself. She never could have gotten this far if she hadn't worked with you, and you never would have achieved all this without her."
