Tokyo Ghoul Tarot : XII THE Hanged Man

Description

I was doing the Tokyo Ghoul Week prompts... but then for today it was supposed to be either the Lovers or the Hierophant cards. And what came into mind was Amon and Akira or Nishiki and the gf(Lovers), and Yoshimura (Hierophant) but I don't want to draw either so... You get Kaneki with a huge centipede crawling all over him, going in his mouth and out his eye. 
:iconmonkeyloveplz:

This was supposed to be for the Demon Tarot card but became a hanged man instead.

(I'll probably continue drawing the Major Arcana for Tokyo Ghoul characters. It's fun!)

Oh and I intentionally reversed it. So it's a reversed Hanged Man cause it looks weird upright.

I feel like before Kaneki was tortured and his emotions destroyed, Kaneki really did resemble the tarot "the fool." Mainly because the tarot often refers to the hero as the fool. Furthermore people of the Fool, can usually bond and connect with almost anyone. 

But after Kaneki was tortured he changed very extremely, and I'd now say Kaneki is one of the "Hunger Arcana". As banjou quoted, "He still has the same heart, but he can change attitudes at a flick of a switch." The tarot card Hunger symbolizes the danger of losing control and  abusing/consuming power. 

so yeah.....
