From our dear shadowcaptain: Rude Mechanicals Tarot Deck

[thehefner]

Goddamn. I want to print these out and have them in an actual deck. I don't care if it'd be an ultimate vanity project, someone needs to put these up on cafepress and sell them at shows.

Cap never ceases to amaze me. Even when he's playing fucking HAMLET, he still finds the time to do those absolutely wonderfully ridiculous side projects of his. This latest one, however, is one I'm still thinking about. Even if you're not a member of the Rudes, you've GOTTA check this out.

RUDE MECHANICALS TAROT DECK

While almost certainly done purely for fun, I'm actually investing a lot of thought into the choices Cap has made here. Of course, as with any tarot deck, I'm going into this one from a standpoint of what it means to me. However, unlike any other tarot deck, this one actually has the figures from my life (including myself and a certain other person in a VERY interesting card).

It's kind of a mindfuck, and I like it. Rest assured I'll be pondering this one for a long time, which I imagine would probably only have Cap rolling his eyes and thinking, "Foolish Heffie." Except I'm not the fool anymore. Maybe a year ago I might still have been, but now I really am the Hanged Man, aren't I?

Damn, I'll be thinking about this all week.

Are you now? I wouldn't be so sure. The fool is the figure of innocence, if I'm not mistaken, a starting point. And, my boy, I'm not so sure either of us are at that point anymore.

Dude Dicechan is the Devil that is SOO great!!!! Well guess what, when I mentioned you she didn't get all *huffs and puffs and looks all glomie* She was actually elated by the idea of singing "Somewhere over the rainbow" And when I told her that you took me out for my b-day she decided to make fun and said that we went on a date, but she looked kinda jelouse. Also she wants a pic of you looking all hot and 150lbs. So I would say that all of those were good reactions so I don't think that giveing her the Mandy Patakin will kill her soul in the way that you would like. But I told you that in six months she will call, she is already is the begining of the missing you stage. *winks* I know my Dicechan

Oh my God, girl. You have no idea how happy you've made me today. You really don't even know.

I'm not going to be B. and just take her back after everything, if the opportunity came up (which I'm still skeptical about, but you seem to think it... I just can't imagine her calling me after she knows just what she did to me). As much as I still feel for her, I don't think I'd be fool enough to do that. Nonetheless, the idea that she had forgotten me was... unbearable. It's a complex thing I feel for her now, but having her be Death (not the Devil, that was Paul, of course) is VERY appropriate, because she was the thing that fascilitated a change in me. She used to say I made everything confusing... now she's doing the same for me.

I'll see if I can't get a few digital photos of me in my new jeans. If I do, I'll send them on to you to pass on to her. Coo?

She misses me. *sigh* I don't know what to do, but I'm so happy.

*huggles* I am glad you are happy.
