Fun fact I also play idv (suddenly gets blocked by every tumblr user on the platform /j) this tumblr blog belongs to the infamous idv APH | England >:))
You will hear me out on this You Will. It makes sense. England as painter and France as perfumer MAKES SENSE. If you don't understand it do your homework (play idv or watch hetalia). Or just enjoy the art lol
This is niche and self indulgent but this is my blog which means you are subjected to my every single piece
Note: Not intended to be EdVera (painter x perfumer) but I don't really care if you interpret it that way lol

Lovebrush Chronicles: Tarot Cards
So, me and a few others on the Lovebrush Chronicles Discord server were talking about tarot cards, and which ones would fit the main characters best. A huge thank you to the Lars and Clarence fans for spitballing ideas with me for them! Now, the alternate versions of the characters would have different tarots than their modern versions, so for the sake of this post, I'll be focusing on their modern versions, and the general ideas behind all of their alternate selves.
Ayn Alwyn: Death
UPRIGHT: end of cycle, beginnings, change, metamorphosis REVERSED: fear of change, holding on, stagnation, decay
There are three tarot cards that deal with the idea of change. The one I felt fit Ayn the most was the Death tarot. Ayn finds it hard to let go of his past - all versions of him. So, while Ayn is often forced into life changing situations, it's at a great expense. He has to let go of his past, his walls, and his routine to move on.
Alkaid McGrath: The Fool
UPRIGHT: beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, a free spirit
REVERSED: holding back, recklessness, risk-taking
Alkaid also has one of the tarot cards representative of change: The Fool. While the other cards signify great difficulty or strife in achieving this change, The Fool tells of someone who willingly jumps head first into the unknown with an open mind. Alkaid yearns to see the world, and to push his limits, even at great risk.
Lars Rorschach: The Sun
UPRIGHT: joy, success, celebration, positivity
REVERSED: negativity, depression, sadness
The Sun tarot is one of connecting with your inner child. It is one of optimism and positivity. Lars is a character who has worked long and hard to get where he's at. He's never had the chance to let loose and be himself until finding success. While he is a realist who is well aware of the bad in the world, he finds joy in the little things he never got to do in his youth.
Clarence Clayden: The Hierophant
UPRIGHT: tradition, conformity, morality, ethics
REVERSED: rebellion, subversiveness, new approaches
The Hierophant represents an established set of rules and values. As a law student, Clarence seeks to use these established systems to one day make the world a better place. However, not all good can be achieved under these restrictions. Clarence is willing to go against the grain if he believes it is for a good cause.
Cael Anselm: The Moon
UPRIGHT: unconscious, illusions, intuition
REVERSED: confusion, fear, repressed emotion
While The High Priestess is a card of spiritual enlightenment, The Moon is a card of emotional enlightenment. It is also a card of illusion. Cael is initially an incredibly deceptive character; he is not what he seems. Likewise, the same could be said for his emotions as he navigates his repressed feelings for the Little Painter.
Little Painter: The Hermit
UPRIGHT: contemplation, search for truth, inner guidance REVERSED: loneliness, isolation, lost your way
And finally, we get to our main character, the Little Painter. The Hermit indicates a search for answers; The Little Painter discovers a lot about herself and her past, as well as the nature of the universe and her role in it. She seeks the truth in each world, despite the loneliness her knowledge and position impose upon her.
