Part 5! Okay! this is the last one I made for now, so I might take a tiny break between posting tarot cards from now. I'll still finish the 10 I've planed but I seriously need a break.

still kinda figuring out how I wanna draw them :U

(sorry, there was supposed to be more to this but I haven't been finishing a lot of stuff lately...all my art right now is just in this stage)

thanks (and also congrats again to Eng on 7.5 🎉)!! I do think the question of what their dreams would be is pretty interesting; Swing's in particular because it's extremely textual (as in, the characters literally say it while essentially staring down the camera) that he doesn't actually care about Halloween, he's just obsessed with Skully, and also neither of them have figured this out. Swing is too emotionally out-of-touch to understand that he's projecting and Skully simply cannot fathom that someone would not be thinking about Halloween 24/7. now how does this translate to magic dreamtimes...

so it gets a bit more headcanon-y here, but I got the impression Swing really just...had a lot of fun chasing Skully around and messing with him, and that's what he actually wants back. Halloween(/Day of Desire) has always just been an excuse. so I feel like his dream is to go back to having their back-and-forth, except this time Skully is 1) still alive and 2) y'know, into it and willing to play along with the whole ~*~epic eternal anime rivalz~*~ thing instead of constantly running away and/or insisting that "holidays are abstract concepts that belong to everyone" and "this doesn't even make sense". maybe they trade off or do, like, a yearly thing where they decide who gets Halloween this time? the important thing is that it's about Skully paying attention to him instead of talking about a stupid holiday or some dumb skeleton man who nobody cares about. >:(

meanwhile Skully's dream is easier because you just gotta remember that he is, after all, still a Night Raven. which is to say, extremely petty.
