I am going to suggest something that is going to seem very fannish, silly, and counter to the scepticism that Daria subscribes to, but which seems to come up in every fan group I've ever been part of:

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Daria Tarot deck?

For those unfamiliar, I have the following list of the traditional Major Arcana below, with a few suggestions I came up with for them for who would fit what. I'm not too happy with most of them, I fear, so anyone with better suggestions should feel free to squash this set like the broken dreams of my youth and ....sorry, I won't let that happen again...

0 Fool - Staci? Jake? Kevin? 1 Magician - Trent 2 High Priestess - 3 Empress - Helen 4 Emperor - Jake 5 Hierophant - 6 Lovers - Daria and Trent? Alternately, Kevin and Brittany? Quin and the Three J's? 7 Chariot - The Tank 8 Strength - Tommy Sherman 9 Hermit - Andrea? Mr. DiMartino? 10 Wheel of Fortune - 11 Justice - Ms. Li? 12 Hanged Man - Upchuck 13 Death - Mr. DiMartino? 14 Temperance - 15 Devil - 16 Tower - Lawndale High, w/ Fashion Club falling from windows 17 Star - 18 Sun - Lester Gupty 19 Moon - 20 Judgement - 21 World - Daria

We can put off the Minor Arcana until later...just like I've put off everything in my...DAMN! I said I wasn't gonna do that any more. Sorry, folks.

...or, in this case, are too busy making up fan tarot cards to notice a burp in your newsreader. Sorry about that.

My modifications...

0 Fool - Kevin

2 High Priestess - Jane?

6 Lovers - Kevin and Brittany?

Who? This, like the below, only appeared in one ep?

In which case: 5 Hierophant - Aunt Amy. Or Daria.

9 Hermit - Andrea

Aside, OT: The coolest WoF card I've seen is the one from the "Mage: the Ascension" Tarot Deck, in which you are looking head on at a revolver...

14 Temperance - Mr. O'Neill 15 Devil - Sandi and/or Sandi's Mom

20 Judgement - Daria again?

21 World - Lawndale. Or Daria yet again?

Daria seems to fit several... Not that I know exactly what any of the tarot cards mean...

I have to agree, the 'Russian Roulette' aspect esp. (None of the visible chambers are loaded - so which one has the bullet, the top or the bottom?) But it doesn't really help much here, I think.

NO! <shiver> I came to this time period to get away from that! Well, actually, I came to this time period because of a malfunction in an experimental time machine that I was required to volunteer to test, which left my body in the 30th century and my mind in the 20th. But that not the issue. I'll let you know what the issue is when I remember it... Oh, yeah, tarot cards. You seem to have a bit better grasp of the symbolism than I do, probably because I really don't understand it too well myself. Your ideas definitely seem to work better.

But that doesn't mean I'll stop looking for help. Can anyone add anything to this?

Interesting. I like this a lot, in some ways.

OTOH, I showed this to a friend who is more familiar with the symbolism involved and she cringed. She specifically pointed out that 'Strength' is usually interpreted *positively*, which Tommy Sherman wouldn't be (my fault, that one), and more to the point, is usually depicted as a *woman* holding open a lion's mouth. Perhaps someone who understands tha tarot better could give us advice (my Tara had no real interest in the project). I'm going to take a bit of a risk here and crosspost this to alt.tarot, in hopes of gaining advice.

Hmmmn...well, it does fit the traditional symbol better. I was begining to think of using Amy, tho'. Of course, like Tommy Sherman, she's only been on once, but unlike him, she will probably show up again...
