HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

THAT IS ALL.

Sw0rd 06 Feb 2013 05:07

This deserves all the upvotes.

Wasn't it Death, War, Pestilence and Famine? I'm probably remembering wrong.

thedeadlymoose 06 Feb 2013 06:01

We reference that during "War".

Pestilence is coming post-contest. Don't worry. Light's on it. :D

Drewbear 06 Feb 2013 15:28

This… makes so much sense.

One sec, will make legitimate comment once my brain is cleaned off my computer screen.

Merkab 06 Feb 2013 15:53

The only thing I am unclear on is where did "Conquest" come from? Am I missing a reference, or just ignorant of a part of this "Lore"?

Djoric 06 Feb 2013 16:26

Conquest is traditionally the first member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, though for thematic reasons modern interpretations bundle it under War and have Pestilence take its place.

That's touched upon in The Red Horse (War).

Merkab 06 Feb 2013 18:47

Ahh, yes. I remember now. Took a little jogging of the old memory. I enjoy this approach, and have only not upvoted 1 of the entries in this canon so far.

Merkab 06 Feb 2013 19:15

Also, I assume it would have helped if I had read them in order like I am now. Organization is a wonderful thing.

Except for the fact that a perfectly useable group of horsemen exists on-site, and this clashes rather powerfully against my headcanon for 682 and 053 with the fury of a charging herd of buffalo, this is awesome enough for me to accept it. Well done.

E: And holy shit. 001-Clef inspired, I presume? You did a great job of integrating the lil' beasties into the apocalypse. Can't wait to see what is gonna be done (presumably) with the other one.

Well, that was… unexpected. +1

From "Tales from The Bright Side":

Instead, 343 simply turned his back on me. "He's not one of mine. Deal with him yourself." And stalked off through the wall.

Now it makes even more sense. Upvoted without hesitation.

OH MY GOD

YOU CANONIZED THE PICTURE

I started into this thinking, "Death is 682? Man, that's lame." Then he got wings and I was like, okay, this is pretty neat.

THEN THE REVEAL COMES

THEN DEATH IS NAMED

I am just dying inside, this is amazing. This is the best canon ever.

ShenHibiki 08 Feb 2013 02:01

Freaking. God.
I once joked to a friend about this, when 682 wouldn't kill the deadly girl!
Death and her steed… and now you go and make it an AWESOME REVEAL!

I didn't think of the crabs at all, though. But hey, works XD

Its agony was the same anywhere it went, no matter what it was doing, no matter what was done to it, only lessened in the presence of one, never stopped

Is this a reference to the cross-testing with 999?

GentleGifts 17 Nov 2018 10:19

No. To the cross testing with its rider. The only being to step before 682 and not be attacked.

053.
