NPMD Tarot - The Lovers

Others from the project: The Devil, The Hierophant , The Star, Strength, The World

A bit of symbolism under the cut, but I'm curious of other interpretations!!

Card that's all about forming own opinions and being authentic to self? Where the Reversed meaning is about hard choices and dealing with consequences? Even if they weren't the main couple of the musical it would've fitted them well!

There are twists in this one - major one is replacing the angel that blesses the couple with Max - still alive, threatening in all of his bully glory.

I kept the "everyone looks at someone who's looking at someone else" circle - Max is threatening Peter, Peter is in love with Steph and Steph is prepared to go after Max for what he did to Peter.

They have more nervous/covered up body language than the original card, since they aren't communicating that clearly. Steph is more open, even if nervous, Peter is on the fence, but willing.

Gun between them, pointing at Peter? You'll never guess what's that referencing :P

AND IN THE CASE OF THE PEOPLE VS RANMARU THE VERDICT IS…

GUILTY!!!

(Here is the post this is all referencing)

(Not my best work but I decided to make a proper ‘thank you’ art last minute, sorry it took so long) *Now I’ll give a full explanation (of what I’m generally thinking about saying in class) under the cut. also my pictures aren’t updated BUT they are very similar to the final product (my professor let me do some proofreading cause she’s gonna use my slides for examples)

So the summarized version of my case (for all who forgot) is that on a school day afternoon Haruaki had gotten jumped on the academy’s roof while getting a package for the Principal. The crime scene was covered in feathers, papers that turned out to be photos of the main suspect, an empty box, and a sentient potted plant. After our favorite suspicious tengu was reported to be flying nearby and bragging about getting an “ultimate score”, Ranmaru Karasuma was taken into custody for this.

Term explanations (updated version)

Ranmaru is high in practical intelligence. This type of intelligence means that he is able to adapt and manipulate his environment to his benefits. An example of this is when in Chapter 101 when he tells Haruaki to pretend to be his ancestor that he happens to look exactly like to manipulate ranmaru’s ex coworker, Byakko, into helping them fix a disastrous issue. This works since Byakko has a deep fanatic love for Haruaki’s ancestor. This shows that he isn’t above using people’s weaknesses and to get them to do what he wants. Knowing this, ranmaru can easily manipulate Haruaki into letting his guard down with what he already knows about him, the fact that Haruaki has a hyperfixation about sailor uniforms.

Ranmaru karasuma has an avoidant attachment style. This style of attachment is where the individual is distant, blames others for their mistakes, is unwilling to show their feelings, and has more positive views on themselves than others. He shows this attachment style in chapter 108. During a misunderstanding between him and the principal. his first response, after revealing one of his crimes, was to run away and blame the principal for not understanding him.

An even better example chapter 93, where he shows that not only does he physically but also emotionally distance himself from others. It is seen that after committing a crime that even the heavens could not ignore,he not only kept the information that he would be punished from the principal, but also coldly pushed him away. He even cracked one last joke before he got graphically punished, not even showing the audience his true thoughts and feelings. In this same chapter, we can see that he didn’t try to reach out to the Principal after his punishment, with their first meeting after the incident being unexpected, as if he was avoiding him on purpose. Because ranmaru is distant and unwilling to show his emotions and thoughts, the possibility of him doing something like stealing from the person he is closest to , the principal, instead of asking, means that he is likely the culprit. 

Ranmaru is low in agreeableness. This means that he can be selfish, uncaring and critical of those around him, and rather unkind. Ranmaru usually steals from the people around him, justifying it by putting the blame onto the victims. He also bad mouths those close to him to people who don’t need to know. Towards most people, in most situations, he only show interest and kindness if he can use them for his own gain, such as getting money from or scrounging off of them. This makes him very likely to have committed the crime of stealing from the principal.

To the 33.3% of you guys get in line it’s time for cartoon physics bonking!

anyway time for personal thoughts I guess…

Big thanks to all of you who had obviously thought really hard about this! And now I’ll explain how it is supposed to be done in my class.

We (my class) were supposed to use of preexisting fictional character’s psychological traits (as shown below) to use as evidence for their verdicts, and as time had went on all of his traits didn’t really…help his innocent case. Like a lot of examples that I was able to use only proved that he was guilty. And all of my observations (or at least the traits we could choose from to explain) were really making him come off as villainess. So I made it so that he was guilty (originally I wanted to trick my class into thinking he was guilty only for him to be innocent) cause I literally couldn’t defend him.

Me: I’m gonna make you innocent! Ranmaru: Good luck with that.

TLDR - Ranmaru’s traits and personality didn’t give me a good defense for him so I made him guilty…probably should’ve seen this coming since in his literal first introduction he called himself a villain but still

Thank you to anyone who voted and helped me with my project, it was really fun to be one of those people on here who does fandom stuff for school. My professor thought our talk about ranmaru’s attachment style was fun (she saw some of it) and was kinda surprised that we took it so seriously (which isn’t surprising for this fandom honestly). It was fun talking with you guys and seeing your tags (the most fun I had all semester)!

*more detailed case file in the next section (if you’re wondering about where I got that bar graph it’s from a big 5 personality quiz link)

**my final versions are written above so if the pictures are different now you know why (feel free to discuss about how I don’t know how to psychoanalyze him properly, jk jk)

*highlighted parts are what I’m using in class and used above and my references are the same as in the original poll post

#I had decided to just be honest about the sailor uniforms cause the more I tried to censored it for more ‘normal people’ the worse it sounde #Sorry it took so long but here you all go hopefully this is at least a little bit satisfying #thank y’all again I loved all the tags when you guys reblogged it #i was soooo tempted to vote just to see how the results were going BUT I HELD BACK #semester is almost done and I’m so happy to finally be free for a bit #again as you all can tell I don’t know how to draw hands #long post #hexi posting #youkai gakkou no sensei hajimemashita #yohaji #a terrified teacher at ghoul school

I just turned in my last assignment for my first semester of grad school and was it good? Absolutely not but good God at least I'm done

#It was for my immigration history class and I wrote a lit review about like #Academics who argue for the existence of a Filipino diaspora (as opposed to just Filipinos living and working abroad which is different) #And I kept having to triple check my sources because I kept trying to include shit that came from like. Regular ass conversations with my #Filipino fiancée and her family. #Like did this source actually mention balikbayan boxes or did my brain fill that in because I've heard of them elsewhere? #Who fucking knows not me. I forgot how to read halfway through the semester. #Anyway! I'm done now! Thank fuck! #I actually love grad school finals week just kicked my ass #This assignment specifically I switched gears on and started from scratch less than 24 hours ago because I am a fucking idiot

[figofswords]

when this semester is over I am going to go into hibernation and sleep for at least a month. if you don’t hear from me it’s bc I’m under a tree somewhere recuperating. do not contact me

#between class homework and work work I’ve essentially been doing a 12-14 hr work day every day of the week for the last three months #‘When are your finals’ says my dad ‘literally the entire last three weeks of the semester’ I reply #and I’m sitting here like. hmm I could be getting more work done if I got up earlier #and that’s considered NORMAL for art school #like??? god forbid I make dinner once a week #or do something with friends that isn’t doing hw in the same room maybe once a month #I’m in hell a little bit. gonna bargain w my prof tomorrow #delete later

i have so much work to do for finals season which is frustrating bc on the one hand i'm very glad all my classes have project-based finals where i get to be creative instead of just doing an exam or a paper. however. i have a bad habit with every project-based final ever of accidentally getting an idea that's way too ambitious and creating more work for myself than i need to do

however this semester even tho i fell into that exact same trap my two most elaborate final projects each involve 1. editing a video essay which contains an interview i did with paul bellini and at least 45 seconds of it are bellini talking about why he thinks i have great potential as a comedian, and 2. editing a ten minute reel of the documentary footage i got on tour with scott. which of course involves rewatching various videos of me and scott being extremely chaotic together. so i stay winning ig

#my other finals include ''powerpoint presentation detailing the historical significance of mel brooks the producers'' #and ''live sketch show that i actually don't have a significant role in but that's fine i have a different sketch class next semester'' #(this sketch class was technically ''creating characters and solo performances'' and i really wish i could've done more) #(but also that whole interview-footage-debacle drained so much of my creative energy so sometimes doing the bare minimum is self care) #so i don't have a solo piece in the show. but i do get to say my favorite line in the whole show in a group sketch which is great #and i did sign up to perform an aubrey monologue in a sketch show in a suburb of boston next week #which is gonna be super interesting bc i've been looking to do more performing outside of my college #bc i've found that i don't think college kids are actually my target audience??? or at the very least i want to perform to a wider audience #it's frustrating bc for that show i have to trim the monologue down to 3 minutes but it's the tightest monologue i have and it's 5 minutes #so trimming it down feels like a game of jenga since it's so tight lmao #but honestly even if the performance bombs i'm mostly doing this so i can tell bellini about it lmao #he's so supportive of my comedy and he's been such a great help with my aubrey monologues i feel like this is bellini homework lmao #anyway i probably won't post the video essay publicly bc it's not the style of video essays i want to make #and it's too specific to the class it's for #but if people are interested in watching it i'll send you the vid when it's done #and for the tour video i'll probably post that or at least some version of it #bc that's just gonna be a fun teaser of ''here's the level of behind-the-scenes content you'll be getting from this doc!!'' #and also a fun way to be like. audiences don't know me nearly as well as they know scott #but they will definitely know me by the end of this bc there are so many wild interactions i have on camera of me and scott being chaotic #anyway this post was mostly to organize my thoughts of what i still have to do this week #i am so ready to be done with school lmao i'm gonna be spending a full month in toronto this summer #and it's shaping up to be such an exciting time i can't wait

[littlebigplanet]

two more weeks of work,,,,,,,,

#which is really just two more days. since i only work sundays #three counting today. still have seven hrs left in my shift. fml #its fine i have the same group i had last week. i like them because theyre mostly continent<3 #absolute win for both not breaking my back changing people AND for not getting covered in urine the whole day! yippee! #i do have three inconts today but they're all nice and easy so idc #theres just five weeks left in the semester and then i go home. finally. finally #applying to work at the hospital nearest my house cause i KNOW they do per diem #i dont need the flexibility during the summer but itll be nice once school starts again in august #i cannot BELIEVE im almost done w my second year of college thats so scary. i turn 20 in six months..... eugh #🫀

trying to give myself little grace about not feeling up to do anything at all for months when my entire last year of school i felt like i wanted to throw in the towel and kms daily and its probably that all that stress has just rebounded and needed time for me to process through it and feel it at a normal rate instead of super compounded daily but it still. barely helps because time doesnt stop for anyone and im just not supposed to have time to get myself together even if its smthn that should take me a long time

#like god they hated us huh #every other major and school were allowed time to work on their thesis and stuff before senior year and all ours #was supposed to be done senior year #not even the whole thing we were supposed to be done with the majority of it in the first semester #i wasin classss until 7 pm half the week and too exhausted to do anything after #and then havingnto set up and do our own gallery om top of that #and the pieces for it too #and it was jus. a constant barrage of stress and anxiety and i shut down easily #and i think im still feeling through the effect of that being an entire YEAR but i feel like im not allowed to #and i canf voice this to family bc im just gonna sound lazy #its. augh. #and adding on classes wnere we had to rush everything for a few final credits #bc teachers werent hired until halfway through the semester and then they still gave the whole semesters worth of work #and its like i dont like this i do wanna do smthn with my time #i wanna work its just #the worlds scary it feels like every day theres stuff that like #should be workd stoppjng but im supposed to just keep going #idk. idk
