Would you actually explain the lovers and justice card choices. Those were the only ones that didn’t get a description, I’m curious because I don’t know why.

Whoops, sorry about that—the card assignments page is
basically just a copy-paste from our shared google doc with all the
back-and-forth arguments omitted, so some of it is out of context. It’ll be
replaced by a more polished version before applications open up.

THE LOVERS (ROSEMARY)

In the Rider-Waite and derivative decks, the titular Lovers
are the Biblical Adam and Eve, before their expulsion from Paradise.
Analogically, Rose and Kanaya are the Adam and Eve of Earth C: Kanaya is
responsible for hatching the new mother grub, ensuring the propagation of her
species, with Rose as her partner who works with her and the other jade-blooded
trolls to ensure the safe birth of each new brood. Next to Adam is a burning
tree, representing the flames of physical passion—the way Kanaya’s skin
uncontrollably lights up when she gets flustered around Rose; and next to Eve
is the serpent, the Devil in disguise, making the lovers imperfect and weighing
them down with earthly temptations—such as Rose’s alcoholism, which is
exacerbated by her anxieties about her relationship with Kanaya and which
plagues her all through the Game Over timeline. (In the Rider-Waite deck, the Devil
card also depicts Adam and Eve, in chains and doomed by the sins of the flesh—the
Devil is represented in the ladystuck deck by the Condesce, who was responsible
for Rose and Kanaya’s deaths in Game Over.)

When drawn, the Lovers represents a close interpersonal
relationship—usually a romantic one. It also represents duality or a union:
Rose and Kanaya are the ultimate icon of the union of Earth and Alternian
cultures that Earth C manifests, and their first kiss as well as their wedding
took place on 10/25 (the sum of 4/13 and 6/12). It also represents choices—coming
of age, finding oneself, and a conflict with heavy consequences. Rose and
Kanaya’s relationship, while ultimately healing and enriching both of their
lives, coincides with a lot of radical and uncomfortable changes for each of
them (their first face-to-face meeting follows both of them undergoing a
metamorphosis of death-and-rebirth: Rose’s god tiering and Kanaya’s vampirism;
Rose’s alcoholism as mentioned previously; the depressive stagnation of the
three-year meteor journey; Rose and Kanaya each encountering a mother-figure as
a peer: Roxy for Rose and Porrim for Kanaya. And so on). Usually, the Lovers
indicates that someone will have to make a difficult decision, or a major
change, but that the rewards for doing so will be well worth the upheaval.

When drawn inverted, the Lovers indicates a relationship
with some sort of disharmony or conflict, usually of communication. Of course,
Rose and Kanaya’s relationship is not perfect, and is fraught with shortcomings
and miscommunications due to either party’s hesitance. Rose starts drinking
because she’s so wrecked with anxiety over her relationship, Kanaya is
unwilling or unable to talk to Rose about that addiction because she’s too
afraid to rock the boat (even though they both know Rose has a problem). Rose
nearly forgets their first date, Kanaya wasn’t even aware their meeting was a date—and Rose dies without ever
having told Kanaya she loves her. The inverted Lovers indicates that the
honeymoon phase of a relationship has passed (the mutual flirting of their
first face-to-face meeting at the green sun) and been eclipsed by the hard work
that is ultimately necessary to sustain a relationship—work that neither of
them was able to put forth in the Game Over timeline.

JUSTICE (TEREZI & VRISKA)

This card is ruled by Libra and traditionally depicts a
female figure holding both a sword and a scale. Her scales are balanced,
indicating sound logic and reasoning—and her sword is upright, indicating that
she is ready and able to punish the wicked. (Lady Justice is also usually
depicted blindfolded.) This card, no matter how it is drawn, indicates that
somebody’s gotten—or will get—what’s coming to them. It is the card of karma
and inevitable outcomes.

Upright, Justice indicates impartiality, and that justice
will be served. When Terezi slays Vriska, she sees herself as Lady Justice: Vriska
has sown disorder and carnage in the Sgrub group as well as on the meteor, and
if allowed to continue her actions will result in the death of Terezi herself.
Terezi loves Vriska, but when she stabs her, she’s acting not with her heart,
but with her mind (or her Mind): at the end of the day, Vriska must die so that
the remaining trolls (and the potential for the entire species) can survive.
Vriska’s life has been marked by bloodshed everywhere she goes, and her death—reinforced
by the decision of her God Tier clock—is her ultimate comeuppance. And her
death does, indeed, bring law and order to the meteor, at least for a little
while.

When inverted, Justice indicates that the querent—or someone
close to them—is cheating. Someone is lying or dodging accountability, and when
karma eventually gets them they may not understand what they did wrong. It
tells you to accept the consequences of your actions, and to make a change
before it is too late (like how post-retcon Vriska ends her tendency to solve
her problems by murdering them). Justice inverted may also indicate a flaw in a
black-and-white moral mindset, and a need to open your mind: Terezi saw her
conflict with Vriska as having only two options (let her live, and doom herself
and Karkat; or to kill her and spare her own life), but she eventually finds a
third option through the retcon (impeding Vriska and changing her mind while
letting her live).
