Which, if anything, only makes the Fool more fitting for Allison, if a bit more of a literal interpretation of the Journey than usual.

Cio reads to me as either Priestess or, maybe a little too obviously, Devil; White Chain might be Strength, Justice or the Tower; Nyave, not 100% sure, but maybe Lovers, or Priestess if Cio's Devil. Though Incubus is the Devil-iest of them all.

I like the way this is resolving -- being nothing but violence and ambition, like Incubus-Allison has been, has resulted in her making enormous long-term sacrifices in exchange for extremely temporal gains, which is a path that ends as a sickly, starved former protagonist in Incubus's basement, begging for scraps because you minmaxed away all your interpersonal skills and long-term planning in exchange for Slightly More Sword. Cutting yourself into new forms doesn't mean paring yourself down to a tiny, useless core persona, it means having both that skill to pare away what you don't want and the raw material to cut yourself into whatever shape works for the situation you're in.

AriadneThread posted:yes The battle of cleavage vs underboob. But seriously this is awesome and important. I have people swarm on any Facebook post I make where I am anxious or worried, and only a couple bites on posts where I am enthusiastic and optimistic. On honesty apps like Sarahah people talk about liking "the real me". I get it, the world is hosed and I have a lot of privilege and a good job, so anxious me is more immediately identifiable to a lot of my friends who work themselves to death for pennies. But they are both ME. I have optimism and anxieties all the time. This comic is getting really Real right now. Mile'ionaha fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Jan 3, 2018 |

Phy posted:Imagine a cut that does not remove, but adds I have been playing a very optimistic Path of Humanity Abyss Mysticr in Vampire, who basically takes this tack. He encourages people to let the Abyss devour their fear of connection, let it consume their inability to make strong bonds, let it erode their doubt in themselves. Self help through the fundamental principle of annihilation.

I might put Nyave as Temperance. White Chain strikes me as being The Tower; she's basically a giant stone structure made of false consciousness just waiting to fall over and find her true self.

There's a lot of Towers in K6BD, but yeah, White Chain is the most. Oscar is The Devil, for sure (though Juggy would also be a contender if he didn't fit Death so well). Temptations and betrayal are almost literally Oscar's creed, which plays well with Cio being a reversed/unchecked Chariot. Maya is Strength. Mottom SEEMS like she's be Empress, but given all her false power and illusions of grandeur that leads right into The Tower, I'd call her The Moon. Edit: Nyave is the Star, no question. Edit 2: My girlfriend is super into tarot and astrology and I've been a Persona fan for years, don't judge me. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jan 3, 2018 |

I already picked it up, since I ordered it a few months ago from my LGS, and I'm super happy at the larger form factor. I can really appreciate the art more than the first volume.

I think Allison is actually Death. After all, tarot Death is change and transformation, as well as literal death, and Allison absolutely represents a break with infertile cycles and a permanent change. Also literally doomed Morton to die and responded to her anger with 'everyone dies, get over it' Yisun/the Rising King could still be the World but I think Allison is best shown by Death as of Wielder of Names. Edit: Nyave is the Best. Also the Star seems reasonable.

I took a picture of the new trade, with volume 1 and another standard sized trade paperback for comparison. It's much larger. I hope that the first volume gets a reprinting in this size.

Varanus is a squamate, not a real dragon. Like, where is its fire? Dragons breathe fire. Komodo only got poisonous breath. Bad, agreed, but until that shits aflame its just try hard. Also gotta work on the wings thing but one thing at a time its only a lizard

Does the author still post in this thread? I wish he would add some art from books 2 and 3 to the store to buy as wall art, the only design available is {EVIL} which is really cool but not really what I want.
