AnNotherNoob

*flips you off endearingly*

i just wanted to say that this Tumblr page is kinda just for me to post homestuck drawings and have an excuse to talk about my ocs lol

youre mainly going to see alot of stuff about The Tarot Trio since theyre my main guys, i have character cards under the #TarotTrio tag if anyone actually cares to look at them and they should give a bit of an idea as to all of their deals, though theyre also intentionally vague in some parts because i keep entertaining the idea that ill actually use them for stories (i wont) but its really easy to fill in the blank spots with average guesswork lol

"Wha- but... hao... ah 'ardly touched... but 'e's the last ah... 'e 'ad so much..." "HAO COULD THIS BE 'IS OANLEH PURPOSE?"

and a shiny alt for the fun of it

Oh yeah her, thanks for reminding me to ask for permission to start doing stuff with The Fateless (which ill get around to at some point), yeah she is related to the trio in the sense that they share a session but she's part of the previously mentioned Fateless, which is to say, she isnt my character.

And since she isnt my character I realised I can just have her actual creator (who im going to just start calling Blue for simplicity's sake) talk about her.

So, Enter: Blue.

Blue, can you kindly tell Tumblr about this troll?

...

oh yeah youre like, sleeping or something.

okay ill just copypaste chatlogs from you then since you gave me permission to beforehand.

okay so can you kindly tell Tumblr about this troll

Morria?

yes

the Necromancer is her ancestor

i's aware, whats some other stuff we have about her?

She sees a lot ghosts ,can hear them too, she has the potential to command them as an army like her ancestor could and she would be [The Limeblood]'s Moirail if either of them were socialized enough to realize it

okay well that was short and theres more to be said about her so we're going to also copypaste her character intro if you dont mind

cool

danke

You are Morria Rigges on the troll hierarchy you are the lowest rung but that has never bothered you too much. What has bothered you though is your non-confrontational, border line pacifistic nature. You hate fighting and you have almost always been able to escape situations before violence became necessary, almost. Your lusus has always been helpful in this.

If there were to be some distant planet with creatures called skunks then your lusus would look a lot like them but unlike that hypothetical species your lusus’s emissions are something akin to teargas which exposure has long since made you immune to, you always keep a few makeshift gas grenades on you at all times Your counter measures and your refusal to settle debates regarding them with violence have forced you to move from your original home. Eventually you took up residence in a secluded abandoned house(with electricity and wifi when they decide to work). You still like to explore though.

Some rust bloods can see ghosts but you see a lot and hear them too. One ghost in particular has been sticking with you for a while and eventually led you to an abandoned town where the local ghosts warned you of a many headed lusus and a high blood that occasionally prowled the place. Against your better judgment you followed your ghost friend and with some digging help from your lusus found a tome written by your ancestor The Necromancer detailing her spells and her time fighting alongside The Radical.

Oh jeez, i kinda forgot to finish fleshing out the planets of the other two, and i only thought of anything for Alanae because i was drawing hers for her godtier card lol, well, no time like now to start.

To go in order:

Ligara's planet is the Land of Wax and Copper, its Consorts are Leaf Tailed Geckos and it's Denizen is ofcourse Haphaestus because it kinda has to be.

Alanae's planet is the Land of Tears and Puresight, it's Consorts are Snakes and it's Denizen is Python because of his connection to the Oracle of Delphi.

Itrian's planet is the Land of Fog and Terror, it's Consorts are Chameleons and it's Denizen is Moros because his whole thing is impending doom so it was a no-brainer

The surface of LoWaC is made almost entirely out of copper, which over the unknown amount of time it has existed has all oxidized, it also houses rivers of wax hot enough to be constantly flowing, following the rivers upwards will take you to Haphaestus' forge.

It's Scratch Construct is Eddison's Butte, a massive pillar of wax surrounded by copper machinery, Despite the age of this construct and the seemingly feeble material it is made of it seems impervious to damage, you would need an object of TREMENDOUS HEAT to soften it enough to even lay a SCRATCH on it.

The majority of LoTaP is a sea of blue glass which is as malleable as if it were just recently melted but remains cool to the touch. LoTaP houses a large, moving landform made of a crystalline material which seems to act like a kaleidoscope, reflecting an innumerable amount of images of yourself (i REALLY didnt want to depict that in the doodle sorry, id spend way too much time on it if i did and my laptop's been acting up lately).

On this landform there is a chasm extending deep within the planet all the way to it's core, it is there where you will meet it's Denizen.

It is quite difficult to make out anything on LoFaT due to the paranormal fog which coats nearly every inch of it. It is quite difficult to see or hear anything through the fog, voices are muffled and people turn into nothing more than silhouettes. This fog seems to wrap and warp around you to make a path, seemingly guiding you to one place, a place which if you approach you start to feel a growing sense of dread which you will find difficult to shake, as if your soul itself is screaming at you telling you to turn back.

Oh yeah I don't think I ever got around to establishing the world they live in

Well for starters I suppose it would have to be classified as a different universe because though i have them living on what is functionally Alternia I really dont feel like having any cherubs in their story in the situation that I decide to make something of the story ive made for these guys in my head and having it be the post scratch world gets in the way a bit

I love the twins to doubledeath but i like how the story is when it's focused on the trio (and others i'll get to later) and dont really feel like theyd fit in the story ive already made so basically all the trolls will have always been in the place of their ancestors

As one may have noticed The Tarot Trio dont actually meet the parameters to complete a session since they have no space member, even though their timeline is already doomed* that isnt the reason why, I dont really mention them much since theyre not my characters so I cant write for them but there are three other members of the session that i refer to as The Fateless since that's what their actual creator chose for them, they have no connection to the whole tarot and fate/doom gimmicks that the trio have which is their whole thing

I refer to the combination of the two as Paradox Fate because it sounds neat

When their creator finally finishes writing for the final member of The Fateless ill ask for the goahead to post stuff about them here too.

Most of the story of The Tarot Trio is confined to the three of them but certain events like the forge being there to ignite and even them entering SGRUB in the first place require The Fateless

As one would have guessed they still do the teams thing as seen in Homestuck so a fair bit of it is spent separated.

I suppose the only other thing of note to mention about the setting that differs to normal Homestuck is that Alanae's tarot readings are accurate and the cards they were assigned are relevant to The Trio but its not like theyre a big thing in the setting, Alanae is still sort of weird for using and believing in them.

"WoAh, ReAlLy? I dIdNt EvEn KnOw I PlAnNeD aLl ThAt ShIt OuT. iM mOtHeRfUcKiNg DeSpIcAbLe MaN!"

Honestly i just needed to fulfil the order of the dice today and i couldnt think of any way to get all three of the early Tarot Trio in one image so theyre in STRIFE lol

also while i was going over abilites their classpects could entail my friend told me to make this lol

Your name is ITRIAN VIRIAN. This is your CHARACTER CARD. It details standard information about you like your ZODIAC SIGN, MOON, TRUEST TAROT CARDS, FETCH MODUS and STRIFE SPECIBI. [NONE OF IT ACTUALLY MATTERS].

Troll society is [SUBSTANDARD WHICH DOESNT MATTER SINCE ITS LAST DAYS ARE APPROACHING], this fact isn't helped due to [THINGS THAT NO LONGER MATTER] so now you spend your days isolated waiting for the day a drone can come to your hive and [REPURPOSE] you for not contributing to reproductive efforts. You haven't had any need to use it in a while since you haven't met any trolls worth a damn [IN A WHILE] but your trolltag is trepidantTumult and you dont bother with text quirks because theyre [dumb] and overly self indulgent gimmicks for equally [dumb] [wrigglers who poop hard in their diapers] and theres [EPSILON] chance youd ever be caught using them because theres no point in putting in more effort than necessary when talking to people so you may use [whatever the word is for when something is a variation of something else] version of terms instead of bothering to remember them, though, swearing is quite unbecoming, you try to redact any instances of it. you do tend to type slightly sluggishly though when in more heated arguments, no youre not erasing anything youre just thinking things over, you dƐnt g3t str3ss3d sinc3 that wƐuld imply yƐure still capabl3 of f33ling things like that, which yƐu ar3nt sƐ yƐu shƐuld just drƐp th3 whƐl3 stupid fucking nƐtiƐn and g3t Ɛn tƐ th3 n3xt s3ctiƐn alr3ady.

Your ZODIAC SIGN is TAURMINI. [YOU DONT CARE].

When you sleep you find yourself in SOME PURPLE ROOM where you lay and stare into the ceiling wondering why you must be conscious even as you sleep. You spend your time there talking to [YOURSELF], or rather, try to block out the ceaseless torment that [YOU] tries to put you through with [YOUR] never ending reminders of [THINGS THAT WILL ALWAYS BE], [THINGS THAT WILL BE] and the pointlessness of all action. You obviously already know all this but [YOU] doesn't seem to care.

Your TRUEST TAROT CARDS are THE FOOL, representative of [THAT HASNT BEEN TRUE IN SWEEPS], THE TOWER, representative of [HOW YOU ALWAYS RUIN EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH], REVERSED THE EMPRESS, representative of [YOUR ETERNAL STAGNANCE AND INFINITE EMPTINESS] and REVERSED THE FOOL, representative of [TAKE A GUESS]. You reluctantly admit to yourself that you find THE TAROT to be interesting even though it's total[LY FAKE] you find A CERTAIN OTHER TROLL'S interest in it amusing even though she clearly DOESNT KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING.

Your FETCH MODUS, FORGET-ME-NOT, is A BIT OF A HASSLE to say the least. Any item you CAPTCHALOGUE gets "bound" to the point in time it was CAPTCHAED at. To retrieve an item you need to remember WHAT you CAPTCHALOGUED, WHEN you CAPTCHALOGUED it and WHERE you were when you did. Due to how the brain works all of these tend to come together as you try to remember. Both due to functions of the MODUS as well as your already faulty thinkpan the WHAT, WHEN and WHERE mentally obfuscate while you don't need the item, move away from the location it was CAPTCHALOGUED or with the passage of time until all of these factors become THINKPANMIST. The MODUS has three settings which halt the forced obfuscation of one factor, but due to your aforementioned faulty brain it is only of partial aid as you typically end up forgetting whichever factor you meant to halt anyways. The MODUS was clearly either owned by another troll before you obtained it (though you cant remember if this is true or not) or you're not as good at interpreting THINKPANFOG as you believe as there are items that feel as if they were CAPTCHALOGUED sweeps before you were even born as well as some items and places that feel far more unfamiliar than normal. You once considered the possibility of TIME SHENANEGANS being involved but quickly discarded those thoughts as besides the fact that YOU FEEL YOU ARE GOING TO DIE VERY SOON so will have very little opportunity to perform the SHENANEGANS mentioned YOU HATE TIME TRAVEL and wouldnt waste any amount of time on that TOMFOOLERY.

Your STRIFE DECK includes the ROPEKIND and KNIFEKIND kind abstrata.

Your ROPEKIND abstrata is A LENGTH OF NORMAL ROPE. You [USED TO] appreciate the versatility that ropes give in STRIFE from ANTIARMING to AXPHIXIATING but haven't been in a STRIFE in a long time. You [REDACTED] but [FEAR THE INEVITABLE].

Your KNIFEKIND abstrata is A KNIFE. You reluctantly started making use of it as your LUSUS [WAS] infuriatingly resistant to both AXPHIXIATION as well as ANTIARMING so you needed something to get within her segments whenever she decide[D] you need[ED] to STRIFE. You [REDACTED] but [FEAR THE INEVITABLE].

Your name is LIGARA VIGNET . This is your CHARACTER CARD. It details standard information about you like your ZODIAC SIGN, MOON, TRUEST TAROT CARDS, FETCH MODUS and STRIFE SPECIBI. Though many other trolls use their SIGN and ANCESTOR to determine their fate and how they're ought to live their lives you haven't given much heed to the concept, as you have seen THINGS that has made your DESTINY quite clear, or at least, A PART OF YOU believes that. You do not understand the THE TAROT or how it could be relevant to you despite the incessant badgering of ANOTHER TROLL. To go over your entire deal would require SOMEONE to write A MINI-STORY THEYRE NEVER GOING TO MAKE especially due to the PARTICULAR QUIRKS related to your being, though i suppose it wouldn't hurt to start with constant aspects of yourself before things get too convoluted. Your trolltag is archaicTrico and most times when typing you keep your text in complete lowercase as you don't want to come off to hot-headed, you've got enough steel in the furnace as is so you don't need to flare anyone's temper because having to navigate peoples emotions can be such a slag sometimes and you have no time four that, though on occasion when you're in a FIGHT online or your TEMPER HEATS up you cant FIGHT the urge to yell certain phrases four embersis' sake. Your ZODIAC SIGN is LERIES. You haven't bothered to who could have possibly held this sign previously, a part of you believes the past stays as the past and you shouldn't let it have any bearing on what you're doing right now.

Your TRUEST TAROT CARDS are THE EMPEROR, THE DEVIL, THE CHARIOT and TEMPERANCE. A TROLL INTERESTED IN DIVINING has made note of the latter two being drawn in the REVERSE POSITION, though she never seemed to know what she was doing with those things so you never gave much heed to the information.

You suppose you have put it off for long enough so you will now decide which perspective you would like to analyze the other aspects of your CHARACTER CARD from. Are you feeling more like STEEL or FLAME?

> Be Steel

You are now STEEL. Your FETCH MODUS is FURNACE, a simple modus resembling ARRAY OF STACKS with the caveat that any captchalogued items gradually raise in temperature indefinitely. You would say FURNACE is of great use to you and your favored hobby of blacksmithing but due to FACTORS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL you haven't been able to hit a single anvil let alone forge a weapon for as long as you've been yourself save THAT ONE DAY. Now it is just a burden which makes it impossible to hold anything for a reasonable amount of time, it doesn't help that your SYLLADEX is almost always full of SLAG from FAILED METALWORK.

Your STRIFE DECK is practically useless to you, you haven't been able to STRIFE for as long as you've been yourself.

When you sleep you enter an incomprehensible VOID filled with HORRIBLE TERRIFYING beasts, you haven't had a good night's sleep for as long as you've been yourself save for THAT ONE DAY. Whenever you enter an argument, enter STRIFE or whenever HE decides he wants to WASTE PRECIOUS METAL in the forge, you appear on a MOON OF SHADOWS called DERSE. Where you typically spectate HIS actions, your advice has been falling upon deaf ears for as long as you've been yourselves, save for THAT OTHER DAY, and you've long since ceased that practice, you now simply observe to be able to clean any messes HE may cause, though you have left HIM to his own devices on occasion to traverse the curious planet, interact with it's locals and peruse it's interesting literature.

You decide now's as good a time as any to look at your CHARACTER CARD from a different perspective.

> Be Flame

You are now FLAME. Your FETCH MODUS is FURNACE, a simple modus resembling ARRAY OF STACKS with the caveat that any captchalogued items gradually raise in temperature indefinitely. As a self proclaimed aficionado of the forge it is of great use to you, not only allowing you to keep many STEELS IN THE FLAMES but also very easily discard any FAILED METALWORK. You've never been too good at metalwork and haven't been able to make a proper weapon for as long as you've been yourself save for THAT OTHER DAY. Your FAILED METALWORK isnt entirely useless however, as you often repurpose it while engaging in STRIFE.

Your STRIFE DECK contains a BLADEKIND abstrata as well as a MATADORKIND abstrata.

Your BLADEKIND abstrata is DEFINITLEY IT. It is one of two actually useable weapons to leave your forge. It is an estoque, whatever that means. It doesn't seem that special but considering what you saw THAT DAY it is PROBABLY DEFINITLEY IT.

Your MATADORKIND abstrata is DEFINITLEY IT AND AN OVERSIZED CLOTH. You once unequipped your AN OVERSIZED CLOTH in the heat of STRIFE to temporarily disrupt your opponent's ability to see and when you went to collect your item you accidentally stored both your blade and clothing item at the same time. The weirdly arbitrary systems of the STRIFE SPECIBUS deemed this combination of items sufficient to open up a new slot in your STRIFE DECK. You now make great use of the kind abstrata to disorient and disarm foes during STRIFE as well as in conjunction with your FETCH MODUS to retrieve superheated slag from your SYLLADEX behind the cloth's cover and cause any aspiring assailants to attack directly into their demise.

You havent slept for as long as youve been yourself save for THAT ONE DAY. You usually listen in on what HE'S doing so you can know when something interesting interesting is happening but whenever youre not trolling someone, fighting someone or smithing, you appear on a MOON OF SHADOWS called DERSE where you typically go to GREET the only person worth talking to on that damned rock, JACK NOIR. JACK NOIR is the only person who seems to get you and your love of fighting, always ready to GREET you whenever you visit, baring his teeth each time, you like to think of eachother as MOIRAILS in a way, if carapaced shadow people can even have MOIRAILS. You also gained a great interest in their literature after you met YOURSELF THAT DAY.

Your name is ALANAE GEOURD. This is your CHARACTER CARD. It details standard information about you like your ZODIAC SIGN, MOON, FETCH MODUS and STRIFE SPECIBI. Relevant to you and two characters you may or may not know yet it also details your TRUEST TAROT CARDS. Though many other trolls use their SIGN and ANCESTOR to determine their fate and how they're ought to live their lives you think the whole concept is A CROCK OF SHIT. You prefer the usage of TAROT CARDS to determine the steps you take throughout your life and DIVINE the solutions to your problems.

Though you prefer to perform DIVINATIONS in person, the current social structure does not lend well to such practices and honestly you loathe all the walking and climbing necessary to meet people across ALTERNIA. Your trolltag is tarotArcana and when typing you Tend to foarce people to raed yoar text in tha saem mannah in which you speak, occaeshunley en-un-ci-ait-ing certain waords so people can undustand your onstly quite simple paats uf speech be-ah. A factah which isnt very well any aid in this predicament is yoar habit to on occashone in your oneton ramblins toip "one" in places waer it sounds appropriate.

Your ZODIAC SIGN is VIRICORN. You neither know nor care what it could possibly represent or what kind of person may have held it previously.

When you sleep you find yourself to wake on a MOON OF GOLD called PROSPIT where you try your best to peer into the visions granted through the clouds of SKAIA. Your access to this place has cemented the TRUTH that you are destined to become a great SEER in your future, it is the entire catalyst for the person you've become today and why you've modeled your entire life around DIVINING FATE, you would likely GO MAD if in a stressful situation you found out the TRUTH you based your entire life around was based on a misunderstanding.

Youve loosely defined TRUEST TAROT CARDS to be those cards which have the greatest pull on your FATE and tend to be drawn most frequently.

Your TRUEST TAROT CARDS are THE MAGICIAN, THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE and THE MOON, though you often happen to draw the latter two in the REVERSE POSITION, which probably means something but you haven't quite figured it out yet.

Your FETCH MODUS, WHEEL OF FORTUNE, manifests as a multi-coloured spinning wheel reminiscent to one seen in the WHEEL OF FORTUNE™ FETCH MODUS, but due to alien copyright laws not extending to ALTERNIA, they are able to share a name and design. The wheel is constantly spinning and you need to manually stop it in order to retrieve whichever item is pointed at by the arrow located on the bottom of the wheel. The rotation of the wheel accelerates exponentially with the amount of items captchalogued within, often leaving it up to BLIND FAITH that you will retrieve the item you need lest you decide to simply empty the wheel until you land on your requested item, or rather this is the observation that would be had by one less enlightened, as THE UNIVERSE does not operate without reason any item which you happen to retrieve is one imperative to the task you wish to perform no matter how ABSOLUTELY WRONG it may seem.

Your STRIFE DECK contains four CARDKIND abstrata, each card individually doubles into the CUPKIND, THRWSTARKIND, BLADEKIND and STAFFKIND kind abstrata. Your CUPKIND abstrata is THE ACE OF CUPS. It has the uncanny ability to store a much greater amount of fluid than it's comparatively diminutive size would suggest, seemingly BENDING SPACE in order to hold as much liquid as you can pour into it. It's combat viability is questionable but it has proven invaluable when you decide to take the journey to perform an in person divination or look in search for A NOMAD who never seems to be located anywhere convenient. Your THRWSTARKIND abstrata is the THE ACE OF PENTACLES. You were sure these CHAKRAMS would have fallen under some other kind abstrata but it seems the arbitrary systems of the STRIFE SPECIBUS deemed the FIVE PRONGS along their blades sufficient to fall under this classification. These pronged blades will ALWAYS hit their target, which is to say they wont allow themselves to be thrown unless they are guaranteed to make contact with their target, this is incredibly useful due to your notoriously HORRIBLE AIM so having FATE aid you in hitting your mark is appreciated. They have come into great use while journey when you wish to perform STRIFE with a STEALTH ADVANTAGE or hit things from a distance. Your BLADEKIND abstrata is the THE ACE OF SWORDS. You don't like to use this weapon, the hilt and grip are quite impractical to use and you're never quite sure how you should be maneuvering with it, furthermore, whenever you use it it always seems to leave QUITE A MESS even from the most inconsequential STRIFES. You only really hold onto it because it looks QUITE MESMERIZING when not COVERED IN GORE.

Your STAFFKIND abstrata is THE ACE OF WANDS. Once more proving how confusing the STRIFE SPECIBUS is when labeling abstrata it has classified your wand as the STAFFKIND abstrata, though it's size betrays the typical idea of what a wand is, you have seen firsthand through the clouds of SKAIA your usage of A WAND to dispense NONSPECIFIC MYSTICAL ENERGIES while wearing SOME STRANGE GARBS, youve yet to perform any of this dispensing of energy and purple is a color much too regal for you to obtain at the moment but as it is FATED it is DESTINED to be. You use A WAND as a CUDGEL while you wait for fate to take it's course one of these days.

"oh so he finally came up with a design for you, i thought your eternal idiocy would be confined to his broken brain, so i guess that means the tarot trio has been fully sprited now, though that lazy [shirker]'s got [EPSILON] plans on actually using us for anything"

"Thaer is something ive been onedering about, woi the hell DOES he insist on calling us the Tarot Trio anyways? We fookin hait eachothah, oim already rearin to hurl just standing in the midst of you unenlightened fools so oive no intent to collaborate any further."
