Invertebrate Tarot:
Card 7: The Lovers
Two parasitic Strepsiptera bound by fate to find each-other in the brief and narrow window they have. A relationship as inevitable as it is violent.
#cuttledreams#bug tarot#tarot art#strepsiptera#twisted-wing insect#really cool animals I highly recommend going and reading up on them#females are parasites of wasps and some other insects depending on species#males live like just a few hours as adults and have to run to find a female#who it mates with via traumatic insemination#babies hatch inside the female and live in her blood (?)#and she dies after giving birth to them through her head#all of this is already a wild life cycle#and doesn't even touch on the really cool physiology of the male#those eyes?? Antennae??#Those wings which resemble superficially flies but are actually the back wings adapted for flight#while the front wings became halteres??#also these might be distantly related to beetles way back according to some info#I wonder if there is a relationship between beetles making front wings elytras and strepsiptera making theirs halteres#anyway really cool#been obsessed since first hearing about them#trying to find refs for the female though challenging

The Big Bug Gospel re-imagines the traditional 78-card Rider-Waite tarot deck, replacing the familiar human figures with a diverse menagerie of colorful invertebrates. Each card features a different animal, carefully selected and illustrated (no A.I was used in this deck) to represent the card's traditional meaning while bringing new depth and perspective.

I DID IT. I FINALLY DID IT. THE BUG TAROT DECK IS COMPLETE!!!
🐛🦋🐞🪲🦟🪳🐜🦗🕷️🪰🕸️
y’all this took FIVE MONTHS…… almost a whole half a year…. it felt like it took just forever tbh but now it’s over… and READY TO BE MADE 💗💗💗
unfortunately I am poor and can’t make these without support- BUT if you like supporting queer disabled artists, and getting a cool hand drawn tarot deck out of it (and maybe some cool extras? I’m still working out what those might be!) I am running a Kickstarter project for these launching on September 24th!!
reward tiers include:
- $1-$39 just for support!
- $40 for a Major Arcana only set (22 cards)
- $50 for a Major + Minor Arcana set (full 78 cards)
- $75 for a full 78 card set WITH SILVER GILDED CARD EDGES!!
I also made a short video! it’s a little amateurish but hey it works well enough, and you can see the themes for the minor arcana in it!
youtube
link to the kickstarter!! we’ll be launching on the 24th but you can follow it now to be notified!!

🎭Rune Lovelace🎭
she/they/he/it | changeling | bard | college of dance | charlatan | former acrobat she is beauty, he is grace, they will punch you in the face!
[some extra info under the cut]
Rune is going to be my character for the new campaign my Monday group is starting!!! (RIP Kiran, who I never got to show off on this blog because he was a Tabaxi, a Dragonborn, and a Thri-Kreen. I'll miss it. Bugs and kisses.) We're playing Heckna! which is a Domain of Dread-adjacent horror-comedy campaign. The entire party is very macabre, and we should fit right in! (But hopefully not too much...)
Anyways, more about Rune. She's a changeling college of dance bard (a new subclass with the 2024 rules, kind of like a combo between a monk and a bard), and they used to be an acrobat at a circus. Since whatever world this party came from is clearly some kind of grimdark dark fantasy setting, the circus itself certainly had its eerie moments. (And of course, it was a magic circus.) When he wasn't up on the high wire, Rune also dabbled in doing tarot card readings for the circus guests, lying through her teeth about their pasts and futures. (While they used their true changeling form while performing in the big top, she used a specific guise when she did the readings, an older woman who used a different name.)
Rune carries with them a porcelain mask, largely featureless, but gilded with gold. When among people who do not know his changeling identity, she pretends that the mask is the source of her ability to change shape, putting it on every time they shift forms.
#ts4#the sims 4#sims 4 CAS#ts4 CAS#adventures in cas#my sims#cas#dnd sims#ts4 dnd#sims 4 dnd#ts4 fantasy#sims 4 fantasy#oc: Rune#I love them so much. She's outgoing and chatty but every so often says something just ever so slightly unnerving or macabre#and it throws people off. Generally he's pretty likeable though.#Kiran was also a genderfluid circus performer (in all three of his versions) and I really really liked those vibes so I brought them back.#I never got a chance to talk about Kiran on here sadly bc I wasn't ever able to recreate any of its versions in the sims.#Version 1 was a tabaxi open hand monk who was also an acrobat. Died in the session one tpk. (This was a Planescape game.)#Version 2 was a dragonborn moon druid who spent most of their time as a velociraptor. She survived the rest of the sessions.#Version 3 was a thri-kreen swords bard who played bagpipes and dual-wielded scimitars. It could also sing at the same time bc telepathy.#That version died in a not-quite-one-shot from a Reverse Gravity spell. It literally went bug-splat.#(The wizard could have saved me with Featherfall but I was already at 0hp and I thought it would be a funny way to go out.)#(that's where the Bugs and Kisses joke comes from. It was an actual quote from one of the other players after it died.)#ironically we were fighting an insectoid hivemind... Kiran was going to play them a funeral dirge after the fight but never got the chance.#hmm. Need to think of a tarot card for Rune though...#Kiran was absolutely the wheel of fortune.#Rune might be the high priestess or the magician....#I guess I'll have to wait and see how things play out.

So happy to introduce the Big Bug Gospel, a tarot deck I started working on in summer 2023. Coming soon to kickstarter, you can follow the page now to get notified when it launches!
I specifically wanted to include some animals that get less attention even in the world of invertebrates, so I included things like fleas, mites and an amazing species of mosquito. I didn’t hold back with color partly because it’s my personal style but also because I believe color is one of the most beautiful physical traits of these animals.
Everything has been drawn by hand (no a.I. was used) and I’m including the option of just getting the deck (just shrink wrapped, no box, pdf guidebook)
Deck only: $35 + shipping
Deck with ridged box and 120-page full color guidebook: $50 + shipping
I am also offering hardcover and spiral notebooks with whatever art you want on the cover!
Hardcover- $25 + shipping
Spiral- $20 + shipping

I am also offering gallery quality mini prints of the cards! (4x6 inch)
You can get it with or without the gold card border (Kickstarter exclusive!)
These will be $20 + shipping
