If you were to assign tarot cards to the characters of 'Improvisation Only' and 'Journey Into Night', which card(s) of the Major Arcana would you say corrosponds to each one?
Hi, Anon! Thank you for popping by! It means a lot to me that people come to talk to me about my little stories!! π₯°π
Now, Hhmmβ¦ π€ That's an interesting question! And to answer to it, I will go from the standpoint that you saw the show (obviously) and read my stories too. (Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that!!! πβ¨)
All that to say, beware, spoilers!
Vivian: The High Priestess, because Vivian is a very calm, introverted person with a lot of intuition and potential. She trusts what she learned in CS, and what she's still learning with her new 'teachers' now in the park, but she doesn't believe in herself. She thinks she's imagining things when she starts to have doubts about hosts' perceptions and memory but she's literally going through the same realisation Arnold had gone through himself 30 odd years ago, discovering one of the darkest and best kept secrets of the park.
Lawrence: The Hanged Man (and maybe, the writers had the same idea ! π), because he knew even in his roles that he couldn't control everything around, so he'll just be patient, sit back, and let things happen to wait for the outcomes and use them to his advantage or that of his cause. But, if by his life or death he can serves his cause, protect those he cares about, he will be ready to sacrifice himself, to let himself die so they could liveβ¦ or escape.
Zeke: The World, because Zeke is a safe haven in a safe haven who never changed role and never moved from Pariah and his posada. He's one of those fixed points throughout the park, almost a greeter host to whom just a little nudge will suffice to make him fully sentient, or at least aware of his reality without him glitching all that much. If at all⦠He basically knows who and what he is already and he's just not afraid of what's coming next! He'll just bring another bottle and more cigars.
Ike: The Tower, because this guy is chaos on legs. Ike has a gun and dad jokes, and he's ready to make it everyone else's problem. But once you won or earned his trust you'll have a friend for life (and his will be very long by hosts' standards), a friend that can and will kill for you on command without even blinking before asking who's next.
Rafe: The Hermit, as Rafe is going through some tough cognitive shit and tries to sort it out on his own, while his mind is currently having a rave party. He doesn't exactly like to be alone but he's kind of a loner who feels himself becoming a danger to everyone, himself included. He tries to understand and process what's happening to him, what does 'Arnold' wants, and how to deal with those painful memories of dying so many time, and what it means about him before it drives him definitely mad.
Josela: The Wheel of Fortune, because for a very long time, Josela laughed at the face of danger, ready to take a bullet for El Lazo and then Zeke without considering that her luck could run out, and that it will be the end of the game for her. Because, as they say, "nobody truly ever dies in Pariah"β¦ But out of the walls of the town, she realises danger is very real and not only she can die, but her friends too! And this triggers her to rush headlong in her own inner maze up to realise and accept the nature of her reality like she's just been dealt a new interesting hand at a game of poker she rightly intends to win!
Hank: The Star, because despite being a very soft-spoken, shy and lethal with weapons from colt to knives kind of guy, Hank is also very sweet and cheerful, encouraging and supportive. And, without spoiling too much but just a little tiny bit about what's to come in future chapters, he will be a reminder that the 'universe' is working in Vivian and Lawrence's favor, as well as all the hosts', and that they should (literally) hang on and trust what comes next in their storied lives! (βοΈπ€‘β¦)
Armistice: (because I love her so much and she will have a big role to play in the story later on) The Chariot, because [spoilers].
