What's that? I couldn't hear you over the smolder going on between these two guys! Blue Bird, Black Bird is a gay superhero romance between two messy, bisexual vigilantes. Join us in October to fund this action-packed and hot book. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

A linework illustration of two men shirtless. One is seated, and the other is approaching him, tilting his face up to look at him. There is an erotic tension alive in their proximity and touch.

Death is rarely literal. Change, the shifting of something ending and something new beginning. Our Death card is literal and figurative, as our Goblin's friend passes, and their next generation rises from their body. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration featuring a dead woman on a table, her ribs split open as the next generation of her family rises from her chest, naked and surprised. A Goblin is tearing up at the loss, while also reaching out to be supportive of this new person who has risen.

The Hanged Man. To be stuck in your decisions, unable to decide just how to move from where you've ended up. Are you a fool to end up here? Or are you waiting for something important to happen first? The longer you wait to make a choice, the difference disappears. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of the Goblin, caught up in their art print drying lines and thoroughly entangled. They are in the traditional Hanged Man position beside a staircase. Glammy the glamordillo is leaning over the railing to try and help as the goblin ponders how they got into this situation.

Darren Pace, the speedy Blue Bird, thinks he's a good guy. And honestly, he's right. He doesn't kill, but he understands how others can end up in those situations where they have to. At first, at least. Ruth King knows who he is. And he's largely very correct. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Justice comes in many forms, but it often tells us where it is needed. Equity, not just equality. Injustices must be understood and approached with care for each. Not all things can be treated the same, some need more attention to bring them to equality. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of a grand tree. On it are painted a skull and a strange bug-like face with many eyes and teeth in white dripping paint. Before it, a human-like person with a deer skull for a head stands before a long, millipede like person. Both hold up a set of scales before them in gold.

The Wheel is the cyclical nature of life. We go up, we go down. Good things come and go, and the only constant in the world we can rely on is that everything will always be changing. Do not fear the chaos and shifting of life, it is what makes it worth living. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of a woman at a bar. She is activating a blue hologram from her watch, which depicts a wheel of the Publishing Goblin falling, crying, happy, and despondent. Through the translucent hologram, we can see the Goblin themselves sitting at the bar, looking dismayed at the display of what will come in time.

The Hermit bears a lantern held high, and wisdom in his hands. We must never forget to take time to ponder our thoughts, and to listen to the wisdom of strangers when it is offered, no matter where we might hear it. The Alleyman visits with knowledge. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of the Alleyman, a man in a long coat and a scarf covering his head, holding a lantern up high in a strange old stone alley. he holds forth two tarot cards, and the Publishing Goblin before them takes one, curious about his fate.

Strength is no simple thing. It is not muscle, it is not being fit. To be strong comes from within, in your heart, in your mind. The gentle, firm hand that guides can turn tides that mere muscle could never. Unwavering and certain, Strength is calm power. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of a large, shapeshifting beast in the midst of various brutal transformations. Their claws scratch into the dirt of the field as two friends try to calm them down. Their face is twisted in pain, but the calm reassuring presence of the Publishing Goblin, gently holding their face, is helping.

The Chariot marches forth after victory! It signifies the completion of a journey, and the return home from a battle won. Your success is clear, and you may need to rest now after the hard-fought war. Celebrate, rest on your laurels. You have time now. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

This illustration depicts a large, walking house on fleshy, human-like arms, marching through a city with tall buildings. It has a banner on the front that says WAR IS OVER. The Publishing Goblin is sitting int he doorway, waving down to people. On the house's patio, two other people are tossing candy down to the crowd below.

Three cards with ocean-based illustrations (King of Swords, The Star, and Four of Coins) placed on rocks and pebbles, among sea glass, shells, and kelp.

Hand holding three fanned cards depicting, light, darkness, and a tunnel. The background is an out-of-focus waterfall and cave entrance.

Three greenery-themed cards laid on bricks, with leaves, twine, potting soil, a small terra-cotta pot, and more garden elements.

Three culinary-themed cards arranged among kitchen items: spices, rice grains, wooden spoon, cilantro, tea towel, etc.

The Lovers shows us how we are tethered to one another. It invites not just romance, but the trials and travails of the heart. To love is simple. To share a life is not simple; it takes work and labor and intention. Understand these barriers and surpass them. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of a yellow field with a large golden mirror standing without any other structure. Two figures stand before it, an Umbran and a Mirrar, holding hands/tentacles. There is a blue glowing tether floating around them and going into the mirror through a crack, with strange shadowy entity hiding in the reflection.
The Umbran is purple and has 6 arms and two torsos with a bony mask and pink smokey glowing stuff coming out of their head.
The Mirrar is a tan/beige snake-like individual with six tentacles in place of arms and a ruffley, mushroom-like shoulder and head mantle.
The Publishing Goblin is perched on top of the mirror, peering downwards at the two.

The Hierophant invites you to connect to the divine. They represent ritual, tradition, and the old ways. Do not fear reaching out to those who know more than you, or relying on advice from the world's history. It has learned much to share with you. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

The Emperor presides over his domain. This is a planner. The one who made the systems before him, and who maintains them. He knows how to use the space he's made, because this logic and control was modeled after his own mind. Be in control. Make routines. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

An illustration of a very busy and full study, covered in books and notes and ink pots. The Publishing Goblin sits on a stool before the desk, writing on scrolls and holding a set of dice in his hand. A small golden crown is visible over his head. Under the desk, Glammy the multicolored armadillo is grabbing a book and sticking his tongue out at the powerful pose his owner is striking.

The Empress does not need to enforce her station. She is fully known for who she is; her palanquin bearers carry her because she is the mother of their people. She bears good tidings, fertility, and the realization of your sown harvest. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

On a dirt path between grass fields, four rat-folk carry a palanquin, upon which rests a queen. She is dressed in draped tan fabrics and bears the symbols of her station, an orb and a scepter. The Goblin stands in the grass and looks on at her passing in this lovely, sunny scene.

The High Priestess sees what others cannot. She intuits the facts of life, gaining knowledge from her introspection and the universe beyond her. Do not wait for answers, find them now, within your heart. They are there for those who listen. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

A stark white-woman sits in a dress with the Publishing Goblin in her arm. She is adorned in gold and a desert flower, and holds a golden hand mirror over herself that illuminates her face. They both are looking up into the dark night for answers.

The Magician is in his power. This card speaks to someone juggling all four suits of the deck, being ready and able in each realm of influence. Handle all things at once as they lie within your realm of capability. You've got this. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

The Magician art features an Umbran, a six-armed being rising up on its back arms to hold the four tools of tarot: the wand, the cup, the sword, and the coin. His face is bony, his skin darn, and a smokey shadow weaves from the back of his head into an infinity sign. The Goblin perches on a tree branch behind, taking notes on this strange ritual.

The Fool is where a Tarot Deck Begins... It suggests you are stepping out the door with a fair bit of naivete, but worry not. You are still doing the right thing. Being uncertain of what may lay ahead on your journey is never a reason to not take it. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

The Publishing Goblin is stepping out the door of their home, a large circular doorway. A multi-colored armadillo is handing an ink pot up to them, as they hold a quill and a book to write in. The goblin is paper-white with golden glasses, as if they're a 2-d image in a 3-d world. The sign over the door reads: WORKSHOP.
