To the people arguing over shipping wars due to the new leaked "lovers" card, I have done tarot for years, let me cook
This is a full breakdown of literally everything in the card so its long sry
before I get hated for siding with purelily keep in mind I am a neutral shadowvanilla shipper just here to educate
I've seen some people saying that lovers can mean familial love. devsis can always play with and shift things around but it generally means actual lovers not just friends in the tarot context
The not being friends is further pushed by the fact that they kept in the burning tree in the right side, the literal flames of passion
For those saying its not purelily because shadow milk is there, hes in his snake form for a reason. In the original card there is the tree of knowledge on the side (like in the crk card) with the snake coiled around it
Now in these kinds of symbolism type stuff the snake around a tree with apples is mostly bringing from the Bible story of the snake tempting eve, aka the snake mostly symbolizes temptation. Maybe since its you know shadow milk headmaster stuff this could symbolize white lilys temptations for knowledge and to learn more, ultimately leading to her demise and suffering all over earthbread.
But the snake can also mean sensual desire, and specially transformation that comes from gaining hidden knowledge, that screams white lily (turning into dark enchantress stuff).
The tree of knowledge also has obviously knowledge but also represents commitment and evolution (like for themselves)
I would comment on how they aren't naked but its a kids game so I won't say that had symbolism lol
It is worth mentioning their positioning, instead of standing together symbolizing unity, commitment, yin and yang, white lily is going forward and pure vanilla maybe even seems hesitant, which hints to them maybe not being together romantically in the end, their souls being separated from each other and different not as parallels but just differnet
Noted that the Roman 6 up top means basically just harmony and completion and its there so maybe its just saying that shes leading him
Also maybe worth noting that yin and yang is a big thing with them and smc & pv are opposites, two sides of the same coin but I don't think theyre pointing at that here.
The background is also different, there is not garden of eden in the crk ver (or smth like it) and there is no angel, this angel is supposed to be like a higher power and transcend their existence but instead its just the door presumably to nether queen
This seems like it could be a parallel, instead of an angel you have simply a door, leading to something negative. The hiddeness/mystery could also be something instead of the very kinda up front angel
But the door and nether queen might not be in place of the angel given that the steps that lead up to the door are in place of the path to the peak of the mountain which has some symbolism of what path to choose to go on property to your destination, possibly eluding again to pure vanilla choosing a path (with or without white lily).
Thanks so much if you actually read all that and feel free to debate, ask questions, or discuss with me and others in the comments ^^
