Tarot Sequence Things

Hi and welcome! A couple of notes:

- my name is Lizzy, my pronouns are she/they

- I made enough shitposty-memes that my bestie told me to come here and make this blog

- all of this is for fun and to help get the best series in the world into the hands of more people that need it

- I am the only person responsible for what happens here, none of this is controlled by KD Edwards so if you have a question for him please refer to his website or his Twitter, @ KDEdwards_NC

- the goal is to connect with fellow #TarotSequence readers, especially those who have been inspired by it. Yes, I want to see your art. I don’t care if you don’t think it’s good enough, I want to see it and so do the rest of the misfits here.

- I would love to one day turn this bad boy over to KD himself so Keith if you’re reading this and want the sign in lmk and it’s all yours, you know where to find me

I think that covers everything! I’ll try to tag things for THE HOURGLASS THRONE and other books/novellas past THE LAST SUN as spoilers so as not to spoil it for anyone, but if I miss one let me know. And if you haven’t read these books - what the hell are you doing here? You have a LOT of catching up to do!

KD’s website:

For those who don’t like country music, give this a listen. Your love for TTS will win out, guaranteed. Plus, KD himself is the one who said Brand likes country music, so you’re kind of obligated to give it a shot. Here’s some examples of great lyrics that make ME want to howl at the moon over how cute this could be in canon:

“Now til forever it’s all of me, all of you/just take my hand/and I’ll be the man your dad hoped that I’d be/and we’ll build this love from the ground up” - From The Ground Up, Dan+Shay

“In case you didn’t know/baby I’m crazy ‘bout ya/I would be lyin’ if I said that I could live this life without ya/even though, I don’t tell ya all the time/you had my heart a long, long time ago” - In Case You Didn’t Know, Brett Young

The entirety of Fall by Clay Walker

And if you don’t think Addam and Brand would dance to You Make It Easy by Jason Aldean or to Cowboy Like Me by Taylor Swift, I encourage you to listen and think again.

Look, I just can’t help it, when Dolly starts singing the chorus of And I Will Always Love You, I can only imagine Brand tracking Rune through his scope as Rune is about to do something stupid. Probably because I watched The Hitman’s Bodyguard too many times.

Enjoy!

Bad brain days always call for my Quinn playlist. First, because I can always use the reminder that one of the coolest characters I’ve ever read is a little weird, too, and second because a lot of these songs are enough of a bop that they clear out some of the the static. And if they don’t? Well, at least I have a cool soundtrack.

When making this list I wanted to try to capture what it might feel like from Quinn’s perspective, and like his prophecies, you may have to ignore some things like gender or overt romanticism (looking at you, second verse of Mastermind). But some songs like Next to Normal by Lucius, Mind Over Matter by Young The Giant, and Immortals by Fall Out Boy are perfect right out the gate.

My favorite track is a mashup of several verses of different songs, but honestly, gun to my head I would probably pick Eidolon by Signal Void, which has no words at all, and is pure vibes. It makes me wonder what it felt like as Quinn to realize it’s time to leave the motor running.

Plus the not-so-secret EIDOLON reference ;)

Enjoy!
