#reading the hanged man arcana || about the muse

Sorry for the tardiness, only just sat down and read the prompts. The Hanged Man and the Tower for Yejide?
lmao no need to apologise!! and oooohh i rarely get to talk about dnd charas on these so thanks!!
12.  the hanged man  :  how open is your muse to new opportunities ? do they constantly look for them or do they simply take whatever comes their way ?
Almost to a dangerous degree!! These days, Yejide is quite the thrill seeker and risk-taker. This has been slightly curbed in the past six or so months, as one of her companions died, and she quit adventuring for a time (only for two of her friends to conspire to get her back out there since she was... well, being difficult, we'll say)
16.  the tower  :  what event drastically changed your muse’s life ? do they resent that event or are they glad of it ?
It's funny that you asked for the tower since I based all the tidespeakers on major arcana, and Yejide, as the 16th, has her story based on the tower lmaoooo
Yejide, as the 16th Tidespeaker, would consult the stars to predict the seas for the fishermen of her small village, which was situated less than a day's travel from the main city of the isle, Dordorne. One day, she received a vision of the entire island swallowed up by the sea, and after warning her own village to pack their things, she headed to the main city, seeking an audience with its council. Though she was granted an audience, the council members brushed off her warning, considering themselves safe under the blessing of their god. Only some few dozen from the main city joined the couple hundred of the tidespeaker's village that day on the fishing boats, and they watched the island, with still hundreds of thousands of people there, swallowed by the sea.
The refugees eventually made land on Omoya, a continent to the east, and after Yejide made negotiations with some of the officials there, they agreed to assist the Dordorners, and had an enclave built for them out of artificial islands offshore. Once this was complete, Yejide came to understand that her people no longer required her guidance, and gave up her role as tidespeaker, and has been looking for something new to fill her time in the five years since.

Anonymous said: poses tell us about Yui's family mun. give us the dank lore about her relationships and such
Tumblr media
Well, when it comes to Yui’s direct family, the main branch of the Minamoto clan is pretty small, consisting of just Yui, her parents Soujirou and Asuka, and her grandparents. Yui barely knows her grandparents beyond the formal meetings she’s had with them as a child, as they live in Kyoto and are pretty much retired, so even if asked, she wouldn’t be able to tell you much of anything about them beyond “they’re old, rich, and super traditional”.
When it comes to Yui’s parents, though, her relationship with them has been a very tumultuous series of ups and downs until post-Persona 4 - albeit mostly downs. As Soujirou and Asuka are both the President (or “shachou”) and a high-ranking executive of the Minamoto Group respectively, they’re both very busy with business, to the point where after a certain point, they were gradually more and more absent from their daughter’s life, leaving her in the care of various babysitters and hired staff. It’s this rocky relationship with her parents that made Yui very sensitive on the topic of neglectful adults, and why she’ll often drop everything to help her friends unless she legitimately can’t do so or is already in the middle of doing so for someone else.
That being said, it’s not like her parents don’t love her. On the contrary, Soujirou and Asuka have pulled a lot of strings to make sure Yui’s had every chance to turn her life around, partially because the only daughter of the main branch of the Minamoto Group ending up in Juvenile Hall for various crimes would look very bad, but also partially because they just wanted her to eventually fix her shit and get back on track.
Soujirou in particular was the one who had the idea of their hands-off parenting style, as his parents had done much the same thing. What he failed to account for was that he had a couple of siblings, and all of them grew rather close as a result - Yui, on the other hand, is an only child, and had nobody else to turn to besides detached hired hands who certainly didn’t intend on becoming surrogate parents. Asuka, meanwhile, did her best to keep in contact with Yui as much as she could, but considering she was often overseas much like her husband, timezones made it quite difficult for her to reliably speak with her daughter even over the phone.
As a result, for much of her life, Yui was actually quite resentful of her parents, which is what led to her delinquency growing up. Even when she decided to turn her life around, she didn’t do so to please them, and in fact had no desire to take over the Minamoto Group or even associate with the clan, any longer. It was only the people she met in Inaba who changed her as much as she changed them that helped her decide to make the effort to mend things with her parents, her family, and decide to take over the company after all. After the events of Persona 4, she’s working on mending things between the three of them, and by the events of Persona 5, she’s back on good terms with them once again.
As for her extended family, that’s something I’d have to discuss with @mazeofmuses​, because I hadn’t even considered a branch family of the Minamoto Clan until she made a muse with the same surname, I made the joke of “lmao what if Maki and Yui were related, like cousins or smth”, and it became reality. So the branch family is as much May’s as it is mine, at this point.

MUN QUESTIONS.
Q1 :  If you could write your character your way in their own movie,  what would it be called,  what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about? A1 :  the holy fool: a found-footage film following one man’s ultimately-unsuccessful attempt to escape dzhambul’s clutches
Q2 :  What would their soundtrack/score sound like? A2 :  upbeat & fast-paced to the point that it’s almost anxiety-inducing
Q3 :  Why did you start writing this character? A3 :   as usual, i designed his appearance first and conceptualized a small, androgynous male character using the female au ra model. then, i thought it would be cool to have a tiny, badass buduga--i had previously played a displaced oronir and thought why not try their gay lovers best platonic buddies. i had also seen some portrayals of buduga that i personally didn’t agree with, so i wanted to try my own take on the tribe. at the time, when i first created dzhambul, i didn’t really have ANY cheerful/upbeat characters, so i also wanted to rectify that.
Q4 :   What first attracted you to this character? A4 :  his androgyny and shortness (MANLET RIGHTS). i also have a huge soft spot for mixing and matching the two models with different genders, even though dzhambul’s most recent iteration has him on the male model. he’s just stupid sexy (emphasis on stupid) and has a personality that i find very charming & endearing, if not overwhelming & in-your-face at times.
Q5 :  Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse. A5 :  i mean. obviously i dont condone kidnapping. he also has kind of a blue-and-orange set of morals, but i wouldn’t say i dislike that so much as i find it a challenge to portray at times.
Q6 :  What do you have in common with your muse? A6 :  we both drink our “respect women” juice everyday.
Q7 :  How does  your muse feel about  you? A7 :  i don’t think we’d get along, funnily enough. i’m not sure i’d be patient enough to deal with him (but damn is he nice to look at), and he wouldn’t take kindly to my irritation. if anything, our relationship would be “civil yet distant”.
Q8 :  What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with? A8 :  anyone willing to “play along” and try to keep up with his personality & whimsical nature.
Q9 :  What gives you inspiration to write your muse? A9 :  some character inspirations for dzhambul are jingim from netflix’s marco polo (SEASON 2 ITERATION ONLY), inosuke from demon slayer/kny, naruto uzumaki himself, zidane from ff9, wander from shadow of the colossus, & a little bit of emil from nier gestalt/replicant
Q10 :  How long did this take you to complete? A10 :  probably longer than my boyfriend would have liked because it diverted my attention from him LMAO

MUN QUESTIONS.
Q1 :  If you could write your character your way in their own movie,  what would it be called,  what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about? A1 :  Blood Moon; an action packed drama about M’yhe’s life growing up and the pitfalls that make him eager to seek happiness and redemption in his current life. 
Q2 :  What would their soundtrack/score sound like? A2 :  IT... VARIES... But honestly I’ve always been a fan of folk music, and so has M’yhe. Music by Blanco White is pretty close.
Q3 :  Why did you start writing this character? A3 :   I made M’yhe around 6 months into having started FFXIV. My ex and I were trying a new server, and making alts there. I had a previous M tribe character, M’iaho, who I made because the more I learned about the plight of Gyr Abania, the more the concept of a tribe from Gyr Abania became interesting for me. But M’iaho was a very irresponsible Nunh who claimed his title by accident, and as fun as that was to play, I wanted someone who was a bit more grounded and grumpy. M’yhe was actually supposed to be a bunny from the Gold Saucer who just happened to be able to read fortunes AND was from Ala Mhigo, but I became really invested in him and his character. He was interesting to me because of his background in the occult, and so he just grew from there (and I ended up leaving the Bunny concept behind). He would always be my favorite go-to character that I would play when I needed to get into a place of destress. Because he was so seemingly carefree on the surface, his natural mischief made his interactions with others fun, and helped me branch out and find new friends when I needed it most. Toward the end of my relationship, I would use him as a crutch to give me a happy place to turn to. I placed so much love and work into him that when I finally made the decision to be free for myself, I took him with me. And while he grows, I continue to grow too. So... he’s a very personal character that was kind of born out of my subconscious desire to break away and be free. And now that we’re both in happier places, I’m relishing getting to play him growing as a person. World knows I am too.
Q4 :   What first attracted you to this character? A4 :  Honest to god I just wanted another catboy? But one that I could connect with more. The first two I made were fun, but not what I was looking for in terms of a character. Also yeah, all the above stuff too. I wanted to explore the concept of finding personal freedom after being in a place where I didn’t feel like I had much.
Q5 :  Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse. A5 :  M’YHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LOT RUDER but I’m too soft to be terribly mean. Each time M’yhe makes a stupid life decision a little part of me dies.
Q6 :  What do you have in common with your muse? A6 :  We’re both adept tarot readers! But that was obvious. So less obvious is that we would both kill for oranges. (I can’t eat oranges though, sadly, because I’m allergic to them, so I get to live my citrus impulses through M’yhe). 
Q7 :  How does  your muse feel about  you? A7 :  Real talk I don’t think M’yhe would find me especially interesting and I don’t blame him.
Q8 :  What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with? A8 :  Because he’s such a charismatic character... really he can bounce off of just about anyone? But I really like the characters that are able to peel away his charismatic exterior and get to actually make him act as the kinder and softer person he can be deep down. I like the people who get him to say his cryptic wise quotes without a shred of sarcasm. M’yhe is a very manic character and can sometimes feel so on top of the world that when he’s grounded and serious are sometimes my favorite times to write him.
Q9 :  What gives you inspiration to write your muse? A9 :  Music, honest to god just me imagining scenarios... and also my lovely as FUCK Free Company, Nightraid. As well as Coeurl’s RP community as a whole. I mean, I know it’s cliche to say. But I have a lot of people there who plot and poke fun at scenarios with me, they always keep me on my toes and keep me thinking of the next story beat. They’re all amazing and lovely people, and while there are things I miss about being on a more populated RP server like Balmung or Mateus, Coeurl is my home and damn if it isn’t M’yhe’s too.
Q10 :  How long did this take you to complete? A10 :  Do I mention the fact that I finished like half of this and then took a 3 month hiatus or what

Iris is the only child of Romana and Ilian, a simple seamstress and a poet. However, when Romana died during childbirth, Ilian went back to his homeland, calling upon a shepredess to nurse his baby while he managed to find work as a carpetner. It was a peaceful existence in the village, but when Iris was about four, it was clear she had outerworldly gifts.
She could speak with spirits, sometimes even moving small objects on her own.
Ilian wanted her to receive training and thus began traveling with Iris in tow. Eventually, they made their way into the seaside kingdom of Vesuvia when Iris was eleven. He found work in the palace as a poet for Count Lucio, while still taking on small carpetry jobs out in the kingdom
Ten years later, Ilian found a proper teacher for his daughter--a young but very gifted magician named Asra. In exchange for building them a new shop, Asra agreed to take Iris on as an apprentice. The two grew very close, and Ilian was fond of them as well. With Asra’s teachings, Iris’ skills in the arcane grew and so did her connection with the Arcana.
Sadly, Ilian caught a fever and despite best efforts of the palace doctors, he passed away. Iris moved in with Asra, the two of them living in a small loft above the magic shop. Iris loved her new home, but it was lonely as Asra often left on travels to mysterious lands, leaving her behind. Still, she grew very popular amongst Vesuvians for her fortune telling, only matched by her kind heart.
Six years later, when the Plague ran rampant through Vesuvia, Iris could not stand by and do nothing. Asra wanted to flee, but instead, Iris signed on as an apprentice for the clinic, working with the palace doctors, searching for a cure for the red death. She was known for her kind heart with the patients, and she met the famed doctor Julian Devorak during this time.
Unfortunately, Iris caught the Plague herself...and died.
This caused both Julian and Asra to fall into a deep depression-- Julian bartered with the Hanged Man to get rid of his memories of having to bury Iris, but Asra went further. They bartered with the Arcana to get a new body and revive Iris at any cost.
...The cost ended up being her memories.
When Iris was revived, she awoke with no memory of her life prior to her death, unable to talk, or walk. Asra had to re-teach her everything. But still, she does not possess her memories. Her talents in the arcane still remain remarkable, and her connection with the Arcana still just as deep, but now, she gets dizzy spells and blinding migraines when she tries to remember her past too much. She still lives in the shop, still selling charms and potions, reading fortunes, tending the to shop as Asra still ventures out.
Little did she know how much her life was going to change one night when she receives two mysterious visitors at the shop...and a job proposal: Find out who murdered the late Count Lucio before the next Masquerade Ball.

step on the glass, try to wake up (part 2) (arcana fanfic)
okay, i gave in to the urge and wrote more. @collective-laugh and @fartkittyonline , you guys seemed to like the first part, so i hope you like this one too :)
You can find part 1 here
Beware the read more!!
Nadia had heard the stories of course. Of the great magician Asra, powerful enough to see the future and even bring back the dead. She took them with a grain of salt, skeptical of the rumors and whispers surrounding the magician. But the nightmares and headaches that plagued her were enough to drive even the strongest to desperate measures. So desperate measures she took.
It was deep into an otherwise unremarkable night that she decided to seek Asra out, wrapping herself in shawls and venturing out into the quiet city. No one bothered her or even looked twice at her as she made her way through the moonlit streets to the door of a little shop, marked only by a weathered wooden sign that read Potions and Products of magical Properties.
Nadia moved to knock on the door but a low, sinking feeling made her hesitate. She looked over her shoulder to see if someone had followed her, but there was only a cat on the otherwise empty street. Nadia took a deep breath and mentally scolded herself before turning back around to finally knock, only to have a small noise caught in her throat.
The door was open and in it stood a young woman, looking at Nadia with a sort of detached interest.
“What do you want from me?”, she asked.
“I’m looking for the magician Asra, I have questions”, Nadia answered after gathering herself.
The woman blinked slowly and took a step to the side.
“He’s not here, but maybe I can be of assistance?”, she smiled around the words.
Again, Nadia hesitated. Something told her not to accept the offer, but the lingering ache in the back of her head urged her on and into the shop. As she passed the young woman her silhouette seemed to flicker for a moment, distorted and sharp around the edges. Nadia whipped her head around but whatever she saw in the corner of her eye must have been her tired mind playing tricks on her because the woman only blinked slowly and looked at Nadia quizzically.
The next day Nadia passed some time with the woman, who had introduced herself as Asras apprentice MC, in the dining hall and found her to be quite pleasant company. She had surreptitiously removed a card from the deck MC carried with her and already instructed the guards as what to expect the following day. After retiring for the night Nadia rubbed at her temples with a sigh. A low but persistent headache had plagued her since she had arrived at the shop. For a moment she entertained the thought of MC having something to do with it, but quickly dismissed it again. The bad feeling she had upon first meeting the woman must have been sleep deprivation catching up to her.
Nadias headache had lessened a little by the next day as she sat on her balcony and watched the costumed guards scamper away. She was a little surprised that the apprentice had gone after them in a rather leisurely speed, but who was she to judge the way magicians worked. The countess took a final look around the garden and after a few minutes made her way back inside. The halls were quiet, the servants not yet preparing for the masquerade Nadia planned to announce, and the only distinct sound were her skirts swishing around her legs.
As she mused about how she would close down Lucios quarters for the duration of the event she rounded the corner and was almost ran over by Mercedes and Melchior. Glaring at their quickly retreating forms Nadia flattened out her skirts and turned around again only freeze.
In front of her stood the apprentice, head cocked to the side and studying Nadia with a look that sent a cold shiver down her back. Nadia stared right back.
“Have you already given up already, MC?”, she asked. The apprentice reached into her pocket and when she pulled out the exact card Nadia had given to the guards, Nadia felt her mouth go dry.
“If you could tell me more about Dr. Devorak, I’ll begin the search right away”, MC said and a small smile played around her lips.
After fetching Portia and letting the apprentice into the library, Nadia called for the guard she had given the card to. His colleague, who had been dressed as the deer, said he hadn’t reported back yet. Nadia didn’t think much of it and instructed that the guard should report to her the minute he came back to the palace. When two days later the rabbit costume turned up in the maze, but the guard was still missing, Nadia decided to always keep a good distance between herself and the apprentice. And if she heard things at night she didn’t hear before, it surely must have been Mercedes and Melchior.
__________________________________________
When Asra told him about his plan to bring her back, Muriel wanted nothing to do with it. He had seen death, looked them in the eye more times than he cares to remember, and he knew that it changed the fundamental structure of things. He too missed her terribly, but some things are not meant to be undone.
So he kept his distance, listened to the tales Asra told him of how well MC was adjusting, how she once again laughed and lived, and kept silent. Asra told him about the missing memories and all Muriel said was that sometimes things are better forgotten than remembered. He should know.
They continued this routine for years, until one day something came to the woods that should never have existed. Muriel didn’t know exactly what it meant to see Lucio return as a specter, but he felt an urgency deep in his bones, so he set off into the city to talk to Asra about it. That’s when he saw her.
She was just leaving the shop and Muriel had to wonder how no one started walking faster or even made an effort to avoid her. He supposed she looked normal enough, but there was something about the air surrounding her that made the hair on his neck stand up. He decided not to approach, but instead follow her. For a while MC simply seemed to wander around the marketplace, stopping for bread and chatting with the baker. When she ducked into a little alley just of the main road Muriel waited a moment before following her. The last thing he wanted was for MC to notice him.
Muriel peaked around the corner and saw her standing in the middle of the alley, a cat rubbing up against her. She was looking straight at him.
“Why do you run from me?”, she asked with a neutral expression.
Muriel had always been inclined to trust his instincts. So when they almost screamed at him to get out of this place, he turned on the spot and left the city without looking back.
He didn’t know how Asra could cloud his senses this much.
____________________________________
 Looking back, Julian is embarrassed to admit how long it took him to pick up on it. At first there was just elation. To see her face once more, to see her sweet smile and hear her voice seemed like a balm on his soul. He still blamed himself for her fate. For not being there when she needed him and failing to find a cure for the plague in time.
They were in the Rowdy Raven when he first noticed that her shadow flickered in the opposite direction then the light of the candle should have cast it. Julian wrote it off as imagination, he did have a lot to drink already.
In the Red Market the animals seemed to be especially agitated when they walked by, rattling in their cages and snapping at the bars. It was probably close to their feeding time, Julian thought. At least until they ventured into the forest.
As they were searching for the infamous Scourge of the South, their footsteps seemed to echo around them more loudly than usual. If Julian were to guess, he would have said it was just nerves that made it seem so. They were looking for a man after all, who seemed to have left a deep-seated fear in the minds of those that still remember him. What if this Scourge was aggressive? What if something happened to MC? His worries kept Julian from noticing that their footsteps were no louder than normal. It was just the forest that fallen deathly still.
It wasn’t until the masquerade that Julian realized it might not have been his imagination playing tricks on him after all.
_________________________________
 Lucio knew about her of course. How could he have his new body stolen right from under his nose without noticing? But there was nothing he could do. So he bid his time, waiting for a chance to set his plan in motion and take back what was rightfully his.
When the time finally drew near, and the little thief arrived in his palace he just had to get a good look at them. She was wandering his quarters, looking this way and that way with an undecipherable look on her face and he decided to have a little fun with her. But his fun was spoiled before it could even begin when that little red head servant found the thief and took her away. Mercedes and Melchior stayed behind, looking up at Lucios ghostly form and keening, seemingly agitated.
Lucio decided to follow the little thief and torment her a little until the plan came to fruition. What an airheaded mess she seemed, trying to get to Julian and clear his name. Lucio was furious how often MC looked in his direction, as if trying to parade the body she stole from him. It never occurred to him that maybe she wasn’t looking through him, but at him.
Days passed and the masquerade was about to begin. The ritual had been set up and all players were assembled. Lucio was ready to reclaim the body that was rightfully his. And so he did, strolling down the grand staircase and greeting his subjects, feeling vindicated.
It was in the middle of his speech that Lucio heard them, voices whispering from everywhere around him. All the guests in the great hall were silent, everyone staring up at him with their mouth hanging open. Lucio held his grand posture, but he slowly felt his grin growing strained, his arms trembling and a bead of cold sweat run down his back. With a flourish he waved his hand.
“Continue the feast!”, he exclaimed, turned on his heel and rushed back to his quarters.
He could hear three sets of feet following him, but he paid them no mind, to preoccupied with the effort it took to walk. Every step he took felt like wading through mud, getting thicker and harder with every inch he moved forward. Eventually the three people caught up to him and he was roughly turned around by a hand grabbing his shoulder.
The hand turned out to belong to Nadia, who recoiled at the sight of him. Behind her stood Asra and Julian, their faces painted in equal measures with disgust and horror.
“What? No welcome home kiss, Noddy?”, Lucio asked, drawing in a rasping breath. When did breathing become so hard?
“What…What’s happening to him?”, Julian whispered, hand coming up to remove his mask.
“I’m not sure”, Asra replied, looking Lucio up and down.
All three of them took a little step back as Lucio felt a shudder go through his whole body. The count was pale and sweating and for a moment it had seemed like his whole form distorted in various directions.
“Tell her to shut up already!”, Lucio roared suddenly, startling the other three, and fell back against the wall, “It’s MINE!”
“What is he talking about?”, Nadia asked and turned to Asra. The magician was unusually pale as he shook his head and stared down the corridor as if transfixed. Nadia followed his gaze and felt herself freeze up.
At the end of the corridor, flickering in and out of sight, stood MC. Her face was completely blank as she began advancing on the group, her eyes fixed on Lucio. No one dared to move as she spared Nadia, Asra, and Julian a glance before turning to stand in front of Lucio.
“Can you hear them?”, MC asked, and her voice was and was not hers. “The thousands upon thousands you condemned recounting your sins?”
Lucio sneered at her, slowly slipping down the wall. She stared impassively down at him. Both their forms flickered more violently now, changing in frequency. While Lucio disappeared for longer intervals, MC seemed to become more and more solid.
“Tell me Lucio…where do we go?”, she asked, her smile too sharp and holding more teeth than it should.
With a final strangled scream, Lucios body shattered like glass. Asra, Nadia, and Julian threw their arms up to protect themselves. When they lowered them, MC was standing before them, smiling sweetly and holding out her hands.
“We have a ritual to interrupt”, she said, all tension that had surrounded her gone.
And so they did. The masquerade was a success, Julians reputation restored, and Vesuvia finally on it’s way to a better future.
And if you pass a young magician on the street and her shadow seems a little too long or her smile a little too sharp, well, it’s surely just your imagination playing tricks on you.

Duncan Info
Tumblr media
Full name: Duncan Marcus Evans
Species: Human
Age: 20
Sexuality: Bisexual
FC(s): Matthew Daddario || Kovu ( The Lion King 2 )
Bio: From a young age, Duncan has felt like the black sheep of his family. And who can blame him? Everyone else is a respected member of the law, all police officers... and he just happened to have a problem with rules. Rules are meant to be broken, and sometimes it was way more fun than to follow the law and be a member of society. That’s what he always thought. 
Even then, Duncan never went that far with his criminal tendencies: vandalism, stealing stuff... sure, but he would never intentionally kill someone and don’t even dare to suggest he‘s one of those psychos who hurt animals for shits and giggles. He’s bad... but he’s not that bad. Deep inside, he has a hard of gold. It’s just way more fun to be chaotic, make fun of others and intimidate others, not to mention he HAD to act strong and tough while he spent most of his years in Juvy.
One day, however, he saw the add that would the beginning of big changes in his life. He saw Chris McClean, a popular TV show host, announcing his next project: a reality TV show where 22 teens would compete for 100.000 dollars. Duncan saw his chance to get out of Juvy ( even if it was only for the entire Summer ) and possibly return with money for his lawyer. And so, he made a “one of a kind” audition, which made him an official participant for Total Drama Island.
He didn’t do bad -- heck, he ended in fourth place from 22, that’s incredible! And, if he had to be honest, the experience wasn’t that bad. I mean, anything is better than being in Juvy, but he made some cool friends along the way like Geoff and DJ, as well as meeting a “one of a kind” type of girl in Courtney.
Due to circumstances too complicated to explain, he was one of the few to return for the second season, Total Drama Action, in which he became a finalist alongside Beth. A year later, he returned for Total Drama World Tour, only to immediately quit due to being constantly annoyed by non-stop bickering and the singing... oh, the singing. Unfortunately for him, he was eventually forced to return mid-season ( ergo, forced to sing ) and here is where his bad judgment got the better of him.
Looking back, he regrets the love triangle fiasco between him, Courtney and Gwen, but at the time he didn’t give a fuck what others would think. These reckless mistakes and acting too idiotic would continue in All-Stars, the fifth season of Total Drama and the last time he appeared in live TV. Fortunately, despite how stupid he was acting, Duncan was able to ponder over his own attitude recently... and how not worth it was.  Like, sure, he has always been sarcastic, a little shit and enjoys making fun of others to some extent... but that was when he didn’t give a crap about the world, about the future or the people around him.
The catalyst to his “change of heart” was remembering Mal, the top dog of Juvy -- not even he dared to cross paths with him and was fortunate enough to remain low-key while he was there. Knowing what the guy was capable of made him reconsider his actions, leaving aside his pride and “tough bad boy facade” to help others, especially Zoey. Despite his best efforts, however, Mal eventually learned about it made a plan to have him kicked out. Well, not only did he succeed, but he also made Duncan go back to jail... even if this time he managed to get out early due to good behaviour.
Now as a free man, while not changing one bit of his physical appearance ( Like, c’mon, the mohawk and the piercings are dope as hell ), he IS trying to move on and have a new life... a better life. He began to work at a tattoo and piercing shop as an apprentice, slowly getting to do his own work and having his own customers. The few people that don’t outright hate him from Total Drama still keep in contact with him, much to his luck. He’s still a jackass... but he’s a better jackass than when he was 16.
Note: Follows canon events up to a certain extent, diverges heavily in the events of All-Stars and the aftermath of that.
[ MAIN || INBOX || HEADCANONS || VISAGE || MUSINGS ]
                                 -----------------------------------------------
V001: Delinquent Without a Cause
Default main verse. Takes place after all the events of the Total Drama seasons he participated in ( for more information on my divergence in All-Stars, read the bio ). He’s currently living on his own in a small apartment, with a German Sheppard he adopted from a shelter while it was still a puppy, and working full time at a tattoo and piercing shop.
V002: I Wanna Be Famous
Mid-show verse. For anything or any interactions that happen within the context of Total Drama, in any of the seasons he participated in: TDI, TDA, TDWT or TDAS.
V003: Last Surprise
Persona 5 verse. His lawyer, when speaking to the judge who sentenced him to 2 more years in Juvy, said that travelling abroad would do good for him. Something about different environments and different routines, or something like that. Duncan didn’t ponder on it until he had arrived in Japan, and even then he only REALLY thought about what this was doing to him months later when his life changed in the most unexpected way.
It all started with Duncan doing something stupid. He was getting irritated by the idea of being a transfer student in a country he barely knows, to which he can barely follow a conversation with his basic Japanese... this led him to the shady deals of Junya Kaneshiro. However, what seemed like a good idea at first turned into a nightmare for him. If his lawyer learned about his, he would be brought back to Canada to complete his sentence behind bars... heck, they would probably make it longer!
But then... something unexpected happened. One of his classmates, a dyed blond punk questioned him about the blackmail ( first of all, how did he learn about it?? ) -- he only told him the truth in private, to warn him of the dangers and to make him stay away. He fucked himself over, he wouldn’t let others go through the same if he could avoid it. However, not only did he encounter that dude again, but discover a different reality from their own: the Metaverse.
That’s how he met the Phantom Thieves, how he learned about their identities and what they actually did to change people’s hearts. And the craziest bit? He, too, had the potential. Seems like his rebellious nature had awoken this “potential” years ago, however now it was actually manifesting due to being in the Metaverse. He was already a rebel, why not just continue being one? And like that, he ripped off the mask that formed on his face, his clothes chancing to something more leathery-like, and now having a large three-headed hellhound standing beside him: Cerberus. He was now known as “Demon”.
NOTE: He’s 16 in this verse and nothing from Total Drama happened in this verse. Not even TDI.

“Single. Why? You offering?”
4. Have any abilities or powers?
“ I am a Doctor, unlicensed, but I am good at what I do. I was able to heal any injury thanks to a deal though since dying I and coming back I’m unable to do that anymore.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.
“A what?”
6. What’s your eye color?
“They’re rather dull. Just a simple grey. Nothing special about that.”
7. How about your hair color?
“Auburn. Looks more like a brown at times though.”
8. Have any family members?
“My parents are unfortunately dead. I have my sister Portia however. I consider Mazelinka and all the people who took care of us in Nevivion family as well. They didn’t have to help or take us in but they did...”
9. Oh! How about pets?
“I had a dog called Brundle, but well... She... Anyways, I also have Malak but I wouldn’t consider him a pet. More like a friend or companion.”
10. That’s cool, I guess, now tell me something you don’t like.
“Magic?... People pushing me to the side like I’m worth nothing after I’ve been useful to them.”
11. Do you have any hobbies/activities that you like to do?
“Reading. I night out to the Rowdy Raven. Or just going on an adventure. Travel the place so that I can see new things, meet new people and maybe even learn new things as well.”
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
“I’m a doctor. Sometimes I have to hurt in order to save a life. Like amputate someones arm off. But... I have hurt people in other ways. Especially the people I care about either emotionally, my words, how I treat them and even me being a self-sacrificing idiot has hurt the ones I care for...”
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
“Not... Not intentionally. I guess. Being a medic on a war field? Sometimes you do drastic things to ensure you don’t die... I’ve also had patients who’ve died by my hands as I tried to save them.... Does that count?”
14. What kind of animal are you?
“I’d assume a raven considering Malak and how the Major Arcana I relate to the most is The Hanged Man who is simply a anthropomorphic raven.”

“I look up to Nazali. They where my mentor for years and really knew their stuff. I learnt a lot from them during my time with them.”

“What you see on me right now. A white shirt, black trousers, boots, gloves and a cloth sash as well as rope around my waist. I also have a black jacket and cape that I wear too. Oh! And my eye-patch as well. That tends to be my daily attire..”
23. What’s one food that tempts you?
“Lobster claws. They’re expensive and unfortunately I can’t exactly afford them as often as I’d like, but when I can I’m always partial  to indulge on them.”

“I wouldn’t say that now. You shouldn’t think that you’re annoying simply because you want to get to know anyone. I’m enjoying our conversation as well as your questions.”
25. Well, it’s still not over!
“I always enjoy a good conversation anyways!”
26. What class are you? (low/middle/high)
“I would say middle considering I got an education...  But I don’t have a lot of money due to being on the run for around three years and my clinic is in pretty bad condition thanks to everything... Maybe low? I’m uncertain. I might be a mix of the two at the moment...”
27. How many friends do you have?
“I have many acquaintances but as for people I can truly consider a friend? Very few...”

“Pie is fine. Not my favourite thing in the world but I’d still eat it.”

30. What’s your favorite place?
“I like the Rowdy Raven. It’s a familiar and comforting place.”
31. Are you interested in anyone?
“I... Maybe?”
32. That was a stupid question…
“I wouldn’t worry about that now. We all say some ridiculous things at times.”
33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
“The ocean. I used to do it as a child. It’s been a while since then however. I’d like to swim in the ocean again someday.”
34. What’s your type?
“Someone who likes me even with my flaws.”
35. Any fetishes?
“I-Uh-Um... L-Lets skip this question we’ll be here all day aha...”
36. Camping or outdoors?
“Both of these are outside though? A rather vague question is it not? From what I can gather it seems as if you’re applying if outside, would you prefer to be just outdoors or in a camping situation instead. I’d say both. Sometimes it’s nice to be outdoors. Other times it’s nice to be camping with people you’re travelling with.”

When I see you I feel like I’m looking in a mirror and I’m not sure how to feel about it but it’s kind of cool? ( someone with a similar mindset, similar manners and/or similar looks to her basically! ) [ 0/2 ]
「  1. The Magician  」
Your journey took a turn you didn’t expect and you do not like. I’m just here to accompany you and show you that maybe things won’t be as bad as you had imagined! [ 1/2 ]
「  2. The Priestess  」
Hey Miss Prim and Proper, how about I show you how to have a good time and loosen up a little? You seem like you could need it and like you want it but are too scared to do it by yourself? [ 1/1 ]
「  3. The Empress  」
A fine lady if I’ve ever seen one! Your class exceeds mine by length and man you’re just way too sweet to me- hold on what do you mean you want to buy me this dress, have you checked the price tag?! [ 0/1 ]
「  4. The Emperor  」
That charisma, that determination- everything about you inspires me to do my best even when I’m just cleaning this display right here. I’m not looking for love but please just let me appreciate you for a lil while longer as I shamelessly flirt just to fluster the shit out of you. [ 1/2 ]
「  5. The Hierophant  」
So you think you’ve seen the world and you know what’s up, huh? Well how about you tell me in full detail about it and then I show you the complete flip side of it all? ( for more conservative muses maybe ) [ 0/2 ]
「  6. The Lovers  」
Tbqh I don’t understand why people won’t stop bothering you because you’re somewhat popular. Sure you’re great and all but I’ll treat you like a normal human being. If that makes you happy in return now that’s just a plus! Just please don’t fall for me ♥ [ 1/1 ]
「  7. The Chariot  」
You’re damn lucky I love you this much- it’s the only reason I endure all the morning runs and gym visits and every other sporty activity you drag me to. I love sports too and I’m pretty okay in shape but you just take this to a whole fuckin’ new level man! [ 0/1 ]
「  8. The Justice  」
Can you please stop thinking about work or how to save the world for two seconds? Is there like nothing that you do for fun? Don’t you ever just sit down and... chill? Enjoy life? [ 1/2 ]
「  9. The Hermit  」
Like- it’s really cool that your IQ is off the charts but not only do you make me look just a little stupid but you also kind of really can’t expect everyone to just understand whatever you say... For someone so smart your social skills are kind of... yikes. [ 0/2 ]
「  10. The Fortune  」
Listen- I know Tarot readings are really fuckin awesome but if you try to tell me one more time that something awful will happen to me next month if I don’t quit my job I’m going to pour this coffee all over you. I may believe in these readings but I’m the only one responsible of my fate so fuck that shit! [ 0/1 ]
「  11. The Strength 」
Man you’ve been through so much shit- yet you choose to endure and endure instead of trying to find a way out of this. Are you just too used to being in pain or do you genuinely not want to be happy? Either way I’m here to give you a wake up call and hold your hand step for step. Happiness is a look that suits everyone, especially you! [ 1/1 ]
「  12. The Hanged Man  」
Like a loser by day and a super hero at night. Now I don’t like getting down and serious about things but the mess you maneuvered yourself into is really fucked up. All I can do is just kind of try to be there as you find your way out of this, landing a hand here and there maybe. [ 0/1 ]
「  13. Death  」
It seemed like everything was just done for but every end has a new beginning. And wow, would you look at that, I’m kind of at a new beginning right now too! So why don’t we start on a new journey together? [ 1/1 ]
「  14. The Temperance  」
You are a hot mess. Too many thing to do, too little time to manage it all. What you lack is time management my friend. I could help you with that I guess- but watching you struggle is just way too cute and funny. Maybe I’ll help when it gets real bad... until then you gotta learn your lessons the hard way. [ 0/1 ]
「  15. The Devil  」
There’s something real sadistic about you that’s scary as fuck. And yet you’re one of the nicest people I ever met and I’m pretty sure you’d never do anything to hurt me. Right...? [ 2/2 ]
「  16. The Tower  」
The higher they rise, the lower they fall. One of these days... you’ll get what’s coming to you. As much as I wanna hate you for your ignorance though, seeing you so bruised and beaten up I can’t help but offer you at least a cup of coffee to warm you up a little. At least until you get cocky again and I’m back to wanting to pour that coffee all over you- seriously get your shit together! [ 0/1 ]
「  17. The Star  」
There’s only one word to describe you: bright, so bright that it hurts my eyes sometimes. Your purity and joyful charms make me want to squish your cheeks and keep you save and protected so no evil will ever reach you. Never lose your naivety and positive world view. I will murder everyone who hurts you by the way. [ 0/1 ]
「  18. The Moon  」
You’re so fake it hurts. I don’t know if you’re just that insecure about who you really are or if you just try to be someone you’re not for fun but please just... stop. I’ve been playing along, pretending I don’t notice but I’ve never been the best at lying and you seem like you know I see right through you so can we please just end this charade for both our sake and you tell me what your issue is? [ 1/2 ]
「  19. The Sun  」
Sometimes you just wanna dive your head deep into the Matrix. With you it feels like my image of the world changes every time we talk. I could listen to you for hours on end and never get tired of what you think about the world and your surroundings. Despite not being in the best situation you somehow never lose your optimistic nature and for that alone I admirer you deeply. [ 0/1 ]
「  20. The Judgment  」
At the end of the day, when all is said and done, you’re the person I most likely go to. Whether it’s just a five minute phone call, some voice mails back and forth or actually nuzzling up in the comfort of a familiar warmth; you make me feel like home. For that I hold a deep gratitude. ( definitely needs refined plotting! ) [ 1/1 ]

The Emperor, Reversed
The Arcana, Role Reversal AU. Pre-Relationship Asra x Apprentice.
Based off this post by @cedarmoons.

[Previous |  Masterpost | A03 | Next]
You may feel powerless when the Emperor reversed appears in a reading. Dealing with authority is fraught with difficulties at this time and... you do not seem to be making any headway. [x]
The count’s laughter follows Kai as she races through the palace gardens, ringing in her ears and hounding her steps closer than the snarling jaws of his dogs ever could.
Prove to me that you can find my beloved wife’s murderer. Find the guard with the good doctor’s sketch, and return him to me. And I’m sure Dr. Devorak has told you, but I do not tolerate failure.
Might want to hurry, little assistant. I’ve already given your quarry quite the head start.
She stumbles, finally, and has to catch herself on a tree. The few bites of the outrageously extravagant breakfast she’d eaten for politeness’ sake turn in her stomach as her heart races, and she attempts the monumental task of catching her breath while also trying not to vomit.
She does not quitre succeed—her heart races with far too much terror at the thought of what the count will inevitably do to her if she fails.
Seeing as the only sounds surrounding her are the calls of pale birds, and the rush of leaves in the wind, she doesn’t think she is meant to succeed.
When it seems like her heart simply will not calm, she pushes herself from the tree and takes a look at her surroundings. To her left, a path leads into a hedge maze—a good, if somewhat predictable place to hide. To her right, she can see a wooden wall in the distance, and an open gate with a path leading down a hill, away from the palace and towards the city.
There are no footprints in the grass, no broken branches or disturbed trees. No clue as to where the guard might have gone.
If he even exists, she thinks, remembering Dr. Devorak’s horrified expression as the count relayed his instructions to her.
In the distance, she hears the barking and snarling of dogs.
She takes off for the gate, leaving the overgrown hedge maze behind her.
-
Kai has always found the streets of Vesuvia to be cold and unwelcoming, but as the sun begins to set and she leaves the palace further and further behind, she’s almost relieved for their too-dark shadows and the huddled figures who hurry along the uneven stones.
She only has a few hours before the curfew now. She knows she cannot go back to the clinic to get Cinis, that is the first place they will look for her. (If they’re not already—and isn’t that a sobering thought.)
This is a side of town she’s never been to before—she’s been on a few calls with the Doctor in recent months, as her own condition improved, but there’s only so much of the city he feels comfortable bringing her to. Judging by the size of the rat that scampers across her path, this is… definitely not one of them.
The Doctor… Her gait slows just thinking about him. How worried he must be right now—he can be so protective of her. What must he be thinking right now? She can’t imagine the count involved her in this whole mess because he actually believes she can find that magician. She knows there’s no love lost between Dr. Devorak and Count Lucio—was she brought to the palace to punish the doctor? And for what reason?
Not to mention the magician Asra showing up at the clinic scant minutes after the Count, demanding to see the doctor… what could his game possibly be? The man must be insane, coming back to a city where the ruler wants him dead.
Well. Possibly as insane as sending someone on a wild goose chase after a single guard. How is she supposed to find him? Ask around? Hello, anyone seen a guard wearing a rabbit or a deer costume? Also was he carrying an anatomical sketch of a cross-section of a human brain? Oh, you don’t know what that is? It’s basically a bunch of squiggly lines…
“Great,” she mutters out loud, “now I’m starting to even think like him.”
“Like who?” says someone walking a step beside her, and she nearly jumps out of her skin.
Kai stumbles sideways, losing her footing on an uneven stone, and finds herself falling ass-first into a rain barrel. A thankfully empty rain barrel, she muses as she stares up at the cloudy evening sky, so at least she’s got that going for her.
She hears soft, warm laughter, and as she flails a little as she tries to get herself out, the person in question says again, in between chuckles, “Hold on, let me help you out of there.”
It’s… a familiar voice. One she’s heard recently, she realises with a growing dread, as Asra the magician peers over the hole in the barrel, his purple eyes gleaming with amusement, and his disguise falling from his face as he stoops over her.
Of. Fucking. Course.
“Have you always been this clumsy?” he asks as he reaches in. His sleeve catches on the barrel and rolls up his arm, exposing shining bangles on rich, golden skin.
She hesitates a moment—weighing trusting an awful murderer and being stuck in a barrel next to an awful murderer—but her options here are excessively limited so she takes his hand, and braces herself on the barrel as he pulls her up.
She braces a hand on the first solid surface available to her as he gets her back on solid ground—which is, horrifyingly, his chest. Her fingertip slides past layers of the softest fabrics she’s ever felt in her life, and touches the warm, smooth skin underneath.
For his part, he only smiles down at her, as if they aren’t standing too close together for comfort. Still holding her hand, and looking for all the world as if he is trying to memorize something in her eyes.
Magician, she remembers, and as her cheeks start to burn she yanks her hand away, and takes a few cautious steps back.
“I—thank you,” she manages to stammer as she makes a poor attempt at straightening out her clothing.
He simply stands there and watches her with an expression that is more amused than anything else. He just keeps looking at her, all fond and warm, which just makes her feel baffled, honestly.
“My name is Kai,” she ventures, when his staring gets uncomfortable.
He blinks, as if that answer is somehow surprising.
Kai?
It’s her turn to blink—she looks over her shoulder, frowning, but there’s no one behind her in the cramped, dark alley. She’s about to write it off as hearing things, but then it happens again—a bright, friendly voice saying her name, that she doesn’t quite hear so much as… feel.
When she looks at Asra again, his heavy dark scarf rustles, and his snake pops its head out of his clothing—it flicks its tongue at her repeatedly before turning its head upside down, blinking at her with wide, confused red eyes.
Kai? it asks a third time, before Asra starts in place, looking over his shoulder before trying to stuff the snake back in his clothing. Why Kai?
“Oh,” Kai says, a little too loudly, “your snake can talk?”
“Of course she can,” he replies, his voice low. “To people who can hear her.”
He pauses to murmur apologetically to the snake—she catches him saying, “I know, I think it’s itchy too,” as he runs two fingers over the snake’s head, which finally seems to mollify her into hiding once again.
Asra adjusts his clothing, securing his scarf around his face once again. His eyes crinkle as he meets her gaze once more.
“We should get moving,” he says, his voice purposefully low. “The curfew will be starting soon, and we don’t want to draw any attention to ourselves.”
He slips his arms in hers, and leads her out of the alley with brisk, even steps. She follows—not like she has much of a choice—while she mulls over his words, and tries to ignore the feeling of his snake slinking down his sleeve, and running along her arm under his clothing.
“What do you mean, people who can hear her?”
He picks a burr off her shoulder. “Hm?”
She glances around uneasily—there are a few people walking the streets, but no one is close enough to listen in. So she whispers, “Your snake. She… only talks to certain people?”
He gives her a serious look—probably the first she’s seen from him. His eyes narrow, and he seems to be studying her eyes intently. It’s… different than his earlier attentions, and it almost makes her want to pull away.
Faust!
She jerks in place a little at the sudden not-sound ringing in her mind.
Asra’s eyes crinkle, and that strange scrutiny vanishes from his eyes. “Her name,” he clarifies, and he speaks so low that it’s hard to make out but he sounds… impossibly sad. Then he inclines his head, and suddenly they are cutting across the street, into a narrower side lane.
His hand on hers is warm, and her steps follow his without question.
“Faust is my familiar,” he explains. “She can speak to me, and those she shares a strong bond with.”
“I have met you and your snake once.”
He hums thoughtfully. “Anyone with strong enough magic can understand another familiar, you know.”
Her stomach twists. She stops in her tracks, and immediately yanks her hand from his. He turns and studies her, his expression patient and smooth save for the amused gleam in his eyes.
She can’t help but look around them, wildly—but they are alone here, no one around to overhear their conversation.
“I don’t have magic,” she hisses, “and even if I did—it’s illegal! They hang people for… for tarot card readings!”
Asra laughs—low and dark, with a bitter edge that gives her pause. “Whatever Lucio says, whatever he—decrees from on high… Magic is the essence of life, Kai. It’s in me, it’s in Faust, it’s in Ilya whether he likes it or not… And in you?” He draws himself closer, and something in his eyes lights up as he regards her. His voice softens as he says, “Kai, there’s magic in you, so much that you that you shine so bright, even the misery of this city can’t disguise you.”
He’s… very close. So close that she finds herself lost in his eyes, for a moment. In the energy of him, in the slow curve of his smile as he regards her.
They are… certainly very pretty eyes. For a murderer.
She hears footsteps approaching—someone running, she thinks. And she starts, but Asra only sighs and takes her arm in his once again.
“This is where we part ways for now,” he says.
“What?”
He winks at her, and then adjusts his scarf to cover his face once more. “Don’t be afraid,” he says. “Trust your instincts, they won’t lead you astray.”
“I don’t—”
They step forward together—passing from side lane to street—and he holds her arm and leads her in one heartbeat, and has vanished into thin air in the next.
She’s so busy gaping at the magician-less space next to her, that whoever is running down the street plows right into her.
They tumble over one another, hitting the stones hard before Kai immediately shoves the man off her. She almost curses at him, and goes to look for the magician once again—until she sees a guard uniform, and a rabbit mask askew on his face.
She stares at him. He gapes up at her.
That continues for a while, before he reaches into his pocket, and produces a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket.
Julian’s sketch.
She snatches it from him. She tries to smooth it out, and scowls at the mess his sweaty palms have made of the charcoal lines. “This was important,” she hisses.
He does manage to look a little guilty, even though they both know it’s not his fault.
Behind the guard, Kai hears the clatter of hooves on pavement. She looks up, and coming around the corner is the count himself, barrelling down the street on a white horse and a full guard contingent riding hard behind him. Kai and the guard both scramble out of the way, only for the count to draw his horse up beside them. The beast whinnies, chomps at his bit, and snorts, shifting in place restlessly as the count looks down at them.
The horse looks at Kai—and she doesn’t know much about horses, but she can see something wild and frantic in its red eyes, and sweat streaking its flank. The poor thing is exhausted. Every horse is—they are all breathing heavily, run too hard for too long with burdens on their backs.
Have they been running their horses so hard since the palace?
Kai glares up at the count, and he stares back at her unflinching.
She thinks of Julian, and grits her teeth.
The rabbit guard seems to remember to bow, after a long moment. And that movement catches Lucio’s plague-reddened eyes, and without even skipping a beat he reaches into his belt, pulls out a gun, and shoots the guard dead between the eyes.
It is easily the loudest sound Kai has ever heard in her life. She must scream, or react, or something—but all she is aware of is her own sudden intake of breath, an impossibly loud noise, and a ringing in her ears.
When she looks over, the guard is still standing next to her—with a hole in his forehead, and powder burns all over his mask.
Lucio holsters the gun, and the guard falls sideways to the ground.
“Let that be an example for those who might fail me,” Lucio barks back to his guards without once looking over his shoulder. His gaze doesn’t flinch from Kai even once.
She stares back, stunned.
She loses track of how long they stay like that—Lucio on his miserable horse, glowering down at her from on high, and herself just standing there and honestly trying not to throw up. Her heart hammers in her chest, her stomach turns, and she wonders if she’ll have time to make it through the narrow side streets before Lucio reloads his pistol—
“Guards,” the count says with a grin that nearly splits his face in two, “arrest this woman for the use of witchcraft in my city.”
She gapes up at him. He turns his horse and urges it back up the hill—at a full gallop, the poor thing—and the guards close in around her. Their horses all exhausted, breathing hot heavy breaths into her face.
She doesn’t even react—doesn’t fight it as one of them reaches down and grabs her by her collar, yanking her up onto the horse behind him. The guards don’t spare a glance for her or anything else—they turn their horses and begin the ride up the road to the palace looming on the horizon.
Kai, however, does look back—and she stares for as long as she can at the dead body of the guard, simply left where he fell in the street, before the road curves, and she loses sight of him around the bend.

As stoic and serious-minded as she tends to be, most of the time... It really only makes Yui’s occasional moments of strangeness feel even more out there. Sometimes her brain just takes her in a direction nobody sees coming.

Hanged man, Temperance, Justice, Devil lol
.⭑・゚~ MAJOR ARCANA. open.
Tumblr media
11.  justice  :  does your muse find it easy to be impartial in emotional situations ? 12.  the hanged man  :  how open is your muse to new opportunities ? do they constantly look for them or do they simply take whatever comes their way ? 14.  temperance  :  does your muse make plans ? how impulsive are they ? has this gotten them into good / bad situations and how have they dealt with them? 15.  the devil  :  is your muse addicted to any substances ? is there anything that could possibly make them quit ? 
Tumblr media
thanku siyon for indulging me enough to where i have to put another read more cause im having to write an essay . jk . its not as long , but it does give some glimpses into who cloud is as a person . so thankie !
JUSTICE .
given that cloud’s ENTIRE mercenary persona is a facade & a lie to his true self , the answer to this question is that cloud does have an EASIER time being impartial to emotional situations - for the MOST part . there are always exceptions to this though . given WHO he is talking to & that the situation is . for tifa ? for aerith ? cloud will never simply be just impartial for them . he’ll be emotional . 
hell , even for ZACK ! you can note that he would just do ANYTHING for another person he cares for so sometimes rationality gets thrown out . cloud becomes vulnerable & tends to drop his fake persona when he’s comfortable & more IN the moment . 
how partial he is really depends on how MUCH his mercenary persona slips away . the STRONGER his false personality stands , the more likely he will be impartial . & in the same vein , there are moments where you can see cloud SOFTENING . he’s curious & he is actually very tender & kind , DEEP down . he will get more involved just by understanding the situations & wanting to help . not to mention that if there’s a kid asking him , pleading him , for help , he’ll most likely help .
that said , he does use the INCENTIVE of gil to help ground him with his false , mercenary persona . he TRIES hard to keep that up . but , of course , you know how well that stick when it comes to people he cares about . even just a TINY bit of a nudge will get him to like ‘ ah , well okay ... ’ doesn’t take much to get him invested . still stubborn as a bull sometimes though , depending on how he butts heads with others .
HANGED MAN .
he doesn’t ACTIVELY seek out opportunities unless he sees a possible ( & often monetary ) gain from them OR if the opportunity presents itself . cloud isn’t SHY by any means . & sometimes he can be a bit of a sloth when it comes SEEKING out opportunities . but if somebody hints or points a direction for him , he’ll look into it . again , he normally does it for monetary gains , but not ALWAYS . so , in that regard , he will just take whatever comes his way .
TEMPERANCE .
he is found somewhere in between having a plan & impulsivity . he PREFERS to have a plan . he’ll want to follow it , but he also doesn’t have to or NEED follow it exactly as it’s been planned . it just lays the groundwork for what they gotta do to get in & out of situations . he is aware that sometimes ( often times ) plans do NOT go according to plan . so he’ll then run on some sort of instinct . at least enough to keep him alive . he will run in the moment . though those moments aren’t always long lasting . which is why he likes to have that PLAN .
at the very least , he wants to know the beginning & end to the plan . what happens in between can be changed . so with that sort of mindset , he is both a planner & somebody who does things on the fly . 
DEVIL .
substances ? no . surprisingly , he’s not . despite his mental health , cloud does not have any sort of SUBSTANCE addictions . could be a good thing , or a bad thing . depending on how you look at at . part of the reason why he doesn’t have it , though , is DUE to mako poisoning . granted , EVERYBODY reacts to mako poisoning differently , & nobody is immune to the long lasting EFFECTS that it has on somebody . cloud is still degrading in some aspect , but for cloud , it’s simply harder to get addictions . its a weird & sick sort of immunity he’s gotten due to his body just having a resistance to other substances . the thing is that BECAUSE of that poisoning , a lot of other REMEDIES also will have a diminished effect on him . herbal & natural remedies work better , in the long run , but still .
again , though , coming back to the original point . cloud doesn’t have addictions . it’s not near impossible for him , but he’s just desensitised to it . what i am saying is that it’s HARD for him to get addicted to substances . now ... other addictions ? aside from actual substances ? hmmm . that’s another story . adrenaline highs from other activities & the like ? yea . COMPLETELY different story .
but yea , can’t really answer the SECOND part of this question if the first part was NO . heh ...

5 Ways to Use the Tarot to Cope With Quarantine Anxiety
Tumblr media
Author: Mary Cole of 7 Tarot
Read Time: 10 min
It’s official, 2020 is equivalent to the Tower card in the Tarot. When the Tower card is pulled in a reading, it signifies rapid, sudden change that you have very little control over. Everything comes crashing down and you have to start all over again. In the blink of an eye, your entire life shifts and it’s impossible to go back to how things were before.
Unseen permanent changes fall into place during a Tower moment and leave you asking, “What is happening in the world?” It is easy to have this uncertainty and anxiety start to affect your personal life, especially when you’re hunkered down in quarantine. The Tarot’s wisdom can be useful to get through this tough time. Here are five ways you can use the Tarot to cope with quarantine anxiety:
Do a Daily Tarot Card Reading
During times of uncertainty, ground yourself by pulling one tarot card every morning. While it can be tempting to do a full reading, try to keep it simple right now and stick to a one-card pull. This daily tarot card is enough to give you all the spiritual insight you need. As you go through your day, keep in mind the energy of your tarot pull for guidance and wisdom.
Focusing on this daily tarot card is a wonderful way to divert your attention from feelings of anxiety, doubt, or depression that may pop up during quarantine. When you are lacking concentration, clarity, and motivation, use the card to set intentions for the day. This practice keeps you focused and present in the moment. 
Doing a daily tarot card pull will also help you to deepening your knowledge of the tarot because you are creating connections to different cards. During quarantine, notice how your days differ based on the tarot card you’ve drawn. When the days start to blend together, this is a great way to purposely make each day have meaning and keep track of what you’re experiencing.
If you have time, writing in a journal is a good method of reflection about your daily pull. One day you might enjoy looking back at your quarantine tarot journal musings and realize how much you learned during this out of the ordinary time!
Practice Tarot Reading For Friends and Family
Many people are feeling a sense of confusion, isolation, and discontentment during life in quarantine. With so many people seeking answers, it is a great time for you to offer readings for friends and family members. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just beginning, reading for new people enhances your ability to intuitively understand the tarot. 
Sharing your knowledge of the cards is fulfilling for both you and those you read. They gain the benefit of your spiritual guidance, compassion for their troubles, and accumulated esoteric wisdom. Having a reading can really help to ease people’s fears during this tumultuous time. As you do readings, you will benefit too from the calming effect of tapping into your intuitive, sharing your talent generously with others, and making a difference in the world.
Bolster Your Tarot Knowledge
With social activities limited during quarantine, there is a lot of free time to fill. Luckily, reading is a solitary activity and there are plenty of books about Tarot. Doing a quick search will show you books that approach the Tarot from almost every imaginable angle. You can refresh your knowledge with a book about the card meanings, learn the specific meaning of cards when doing romance readings, or study how tarot relates to astrology. The list of Tarot books is endless!
Choose your interest and then get to reading. If you are craving more social interaction during quarantine, invite your friends to join you in a Tarot book club. This gives you a reason to stay in touch and arrange virtual hangouts, all while learning more about your favorite topic. Bonus points if you write out discussion questions for the group!
Guided Meditation With The Tarot
If you are feeling trapped in the house, remember you can always set your mind free. Guided meditations can be used to connect with your daily tarot card, or tarot cards of your choice, in a meaningful way. If you want to call in the positive energy of certain cards, start to do guided meditations with them. There are many free guided meditations available online, especially for connecting with the Major Arcana cards.
Guided meditation with Tarot cards is a way to engage your imagination. The Tarot cards tell you visual stories, and much of the reading comes through the imagery depicted on the cards. You can use the same method of visual storytelling in your mind during a guided meditation to access the wisdom of the card in a new way. Choose cards that hold the energy you want to call in. If you are feeling chaotic, try meditating with the Emperor Card. If you want to shift your perspective, spend time with the Hanged Man.
Creative Tarot Projects
The potent energy of the Tarot is a great inspiration for creative projects. If you are artistically inclined, painting or sketching your favorite tarot card can be therapeutic and relaxing. You might want to modify decks you have by adding color to the edges or trimming the card sizes. If you cut out pictures that remind you of the energy of a card then you can craft a college to hang up. Each time you look at the artwork, it will infuse you with a reminder things are going to be all right.
If you feel more drawn to creative writing, try writing a poem to capture the subtle energy of your favorite card. Let it remind you to remain hopeful during your time in quarantine. You can also pick a card and use the imagery on it as a prompt for a short story. Imagine yourself as the person in the card and free-write the thoughts and feelings that come to you. How would they cope with the situation you’re in right now? There is so much wisdom to be discovered within this creative musing that is sure to keep your spirits lifted and soul soothed during quarantine.

How to Use Tarot in Your Daily Activities
Tumblr media
This article was written by Jaymi Elford
When most people think about tarot, they view the cards as a device to answer questions or tell the future. I get asked to read someone's cards every time I pull a deck from my bag. Did you know tarot can be used for more than just asking questions? You can sprinkle tarot into almost every activity you do in the day.
Each of the techniques I suggest here do not have to take up too much time in your life. In fact, I recommend you spend less time when you pull cards. Doing so helps prevent the inner editor from leaking in and telling you how you are doing things wrong and that your interpretations aren't good enough. Time is precious, and simple acts of insight can be as potent as ones done in longer, more formal settings.
Morning Routine Tarot fits in perfectly as a morning intention-setting tool. You can pull your deck out after you wake up or sneak in some journaling time before you settle in to deal with work emails. Shuffle your cards, select one at random, and note the name down. Think about how the card and its meaning could affect you and the events you participate in during the day. Some readers post images of their cards on social media so others can follow along. Others jot their notes into a journal or planner.
Put the card away and go about your day. Don't force the card to remain in your mind. Let the moment soften and settle in the back of your mind. You'll be surprised how much this intention can influence the various activities in your day.
Workout Motivation Use the cards to motivate your health and workout goals. The power of tarot numerology comes into play here. I've always had a fondness for the Strength (8) card. Gaining strength is one reason so many push themselves at a gym. I always try and select lockers with numbers that add to 8 (for example, lockers 71 and 35 are favourites).
A fun activity to do while you're on a machine is to test your knowledge of major arcana and numerical reduction skills. Most machines include calories burned area on their displays. These numbers start at one, and as you move the number counts up. Add each individual number appearing on the screen and reduce it to a base number between 1 and 21. Can you quickly tell which card gets associated with that number? Doing this task is harder than you think when you are moving on a treadmill.
When you are finished moving, do a final reduction of those numbers at the end of your session. What card do you get? How might it have influenced your exercise session? For some reason I tend to end on The Hanged Man (12), The Empress (3), or even The Chariot (7).
A Trusty Coworker Bring your cards into work. This can be done with physical cards, or discreetly with one of the many smartphone tarot apps available. I keep the Shadowscapes Tarot and Beautiful Tarot apps on my phone.
Use the cards to do readings as you go about your daily routine. Need some quick advice on a new project? Draw a card and see what action it gives you. Dealing with a coworker and need advice? Draw two cards on the subject and see what is going on with them and how you can resolve the conflict. Using tarot at work this way gives you the ability to receive some instant advice on dealing with tough questions without needing a full-on reading.
As a freelance writer, I tend to use the cards to interview the potential partnerships with working with various clients. My readings also lend me valuable insights I may not have seen or thought about while I work on short and long-form projects.
A Boost of Energy Need a self-esteem boost? Have an important deal at which you want to succeed? Look through your tarot deck, or tarot card app, for an image that represents the energy you need to have. You can tuck the card into your pocket or wallet as a reminder of how capable you are. If you are using an app to achieve this purpose, you can always set the background image on your phone, or computer.
Then, when you are ready to propose a raise, or seal the deal, take the card out. Let it remind you how strong and important you are. Let its energy fill you with a confidence boost and go get what you desire!
Creativity Partner Take your crafting skills to the next level with tarot. Keeping a deck at hand while I feel creative is one of my favourite way to incorporate cards into my daily routines. Try your hand at designing a deck with your drawing, painting, or college skills. Sew "clothing" (aka cases) for your cards. Torn between two different hobbies? Why not let tarot help you decide? You can create a spread to help determine the right path to take each step of the project. Use the cards as prompt generators to get your inner muse psyched for your next crafting session.
As a writer, I'm constantly thinking of new article ideas, fiction worlds, and ways to bring my views to others. Tarot is, hands down, my creativity partner. Use the cards to help you craft well-rounded characters for your fiction. Draw three cards and you have an instant beginning, middle, and end story plot. The imagery can even inspire various settings and atmospheres for your characters to run around in. Torn between two new non-fiction book ideas? Do a quick reading for each project to see which one is better for you to work on at that moment.
Keep those inner editors at bay when they try to derail your writing session. Draw a card at random, or find an image that helps you focus, and set it up against your desk. Once again, this is a good place to let your creative side free and create desktop images with digital tarot cards to help cheer you to completion. Tarot always has my back when it comes to keeping my fingers moving across the keyboard.
Bedtime Routine Wrap up your day and get ready for tomorrow by using your deck to reflect. Take out the card you drew in the morning and look over any notes you may have written. How did the card's meaning and energies fit into the day. What new insights can you add now that the day is almost over?
Alternatively, you can draw another brand new card that contains insights for a lesson your day has gifted you. Look at the card, reflect on the day's activities. When you are ready, get your journal and write a single sentence wrap-up for the day. This exercise is especially good for those who dislike drawing cards first thing in the morning.
Shuffle the cards back into the deck. Put away then pen, journal, and deck. Turn out the light and rest peacefully to begin the day anew.
Wrapping Up Although everyone's daily journey is unique and filled with an ever-changing palette of challenges, adding a little bit of tarot throughout the day can help lighten the stress. Many people talk a lot about wanting to bring spirituality into the workplace. Integrating tarot into various moments each day can help do just this. Repetition of the activities helps build your practice and gives you a small way to invite spirit into every action you take.
