Tarot's Personality

Post by SuperStar »

Am I the only who has noticed that while Tarot was originally shown as the "Sweet-nice-girl", she for some reason acts like the "Easily-Annoyed" character now? I went through her archives a bit ago, and noticed it only really started during Heaven's Not Enough, in which case she was probably very tired of everything. But even after that she's still acting like a "beautiful young lady". What do you think is up?

Either the whole "Sweet-nice-girl" thing is just an act, or playing the game and living in Babylon Gardens has taking it's toll on her.

Or... you know... she's generally a nice dog who gets annoyed when she feels under-appreciated :?

Maybe she's adjusting to life without Pete and Dragon.

I think that with everything that she had to go through, that now she is gonna be one who is easy to annoy. She looks annoyed in a lot of the pictures she is in with Karishad that Rick drew.

It's the sad truth isn't it? It's sad cause it makes her relationship with Peanut less cute, :(

I thought Karishad just had that sort of affect on others.

Yeah anyone who is paired with Karishad for a comic is going to be annoyed. :P

Tarot is generally a sweet, perky dog, but she's also somewhat easier to annoy than normal. It's not like every character in a comic is going to be one-dimensional! I imagine that comes with the territory of psychic powers. It has to get annoying when everyone around you doesn't know things that are obvious to you.

...which she is already aware of and wouldn't change matters in the slightest? :|
Just because you know others aren't going to understand things like you do, it doesn't change the annoyance level when they just aren't getting something :P

Which is why Sleet noted that she does seem a little easily annoyed, perhaps. 'swhy it's so nice that Peanut's natural exuberance and straightforward honesty are such great relational counterbalances :D (until he sticks his foot in his mouth :lol: )

I'm just wondering - is Tarot going to eventually become disenchanted with Peanut? It seems like the only thing she sees in him is puppylike charm. I'm worried that's eventually going to fade and start to get on her nerves, and I'm not entirely sure they have any common interests to fall back on once that happens.

Man... :(

You say that as if its written in stone or something.....(or maybe im misinterpreting that)
I'd like to think TarNut's relationship all these "years?", has given them plenty of time to get to know the other better and find interests here and there so im sure that they can get past little annoyances here and there.....I hope....

Besides GrapeWell is awesome! I think Max secretly thinking he needs to better himself for in order to feel "worthy" of Grape is really sweet.
....Count on it!

Why is it that the girls names flow better at the beginning? I mean, I don't mean to sound sexist, but in most ship-names the dude's name comes first, but in Housepets it seems to be the girl's more often then not.

You just take things into stride when making names, honestly. I could call it the Pomnut for example. =P

Regarding Tarot's personality, though, i honestly suspect some of her personality might have something to do with her knowing how her future already is, but adding a personal challenge to it so it's not bread and butter to her. like the small details.

That being said, Tarot has always been to me all about manners. Grape seems to be less about manners these days and just goes with her gut instinct =P

I don't think Tarot is easily annoyed. I just think many of the characters could be simply annoying to others, and she's just reacting the same way most of them would. So much crazy stuff happens in this comic that everybody's going to have their bad moments now and then. (hopefully in a funny way, of course)

I think we see her more annoyed because of who she is paired up with in those particular pictures.

Eh, to me, Tarot's personalty was more spacy and out of touch, but that was likely due to her link with Dragon. I think that she just has a typical personalty myself and we don't see her as much, so it's hard to measure.

It would be nice to see her a bit more and see her relationship with Peanut also.

I love Tarot but she's a character who's totally appropriate for smaller doses, I think. As much as I'd love to see more of her, I think the comic would suffer if she's made more prominent than she needs to be!

Well then there at least needs to be more snuggling.

We haven't seen Peanut and Tarot hug since 2012, making for a total of two* Peanut/Tarot hugs we've seen - the other one was at the end of the arc where Tarot was introduced.

*Excluding the Guys and Dolls Imaginate, where it was in the context of the roleplay.

Grapenut has more genuine snuggle time than Tarnut at this point. :P

She would need to be if she is the girlfriend of one of the main character's and if she is reduced to a bit character, then maybe Tarnut should break up. Though I only see Grapenut getting together if Rick ever decides to call it a day with the comic and Grape does seem to genuinely care for Max.

The thing is, I suspected that the reason we don't see Tarot and Peanut together as much is because there isn't much to fix between the two - they are very casual and don't need as much improvements as Grape and Max, who need fine tuning. It's why we see more serious moments than Peanut and Tarot's.

On the other side of the spectrum, it makes the long waits worthwhile. like a godzilla movie. @_@

In my opinion, I think she's twice as easily annoyed because annoying things happen twice to her. Once in her mind's eye and again in reality before she has a chance to stop it. Otherwise, she's just perky and whatnot so long as you give her a good, solid dose of attention. On the relationship thing, they're on the same vibe most of the time and don't really argue since they don't have as many kinks to work out. Grape and Max on the other hand still have some issues to address.
There is always a mystical adventure awaiting you. You just have to find it and take the first step into epicness.
