I could get irritating to talk to since i can be annoyingly overjoyed and loud but just let me know when I'm starting to get annoying and I'll try my best to tone it down the most I can
The reason why some of my posts are in red is because 1. I think it looks pretty cool, and 2. It's easier for me to read personally especially if it’s a longer more rant-ish post
So let's talk about Reaper, Dream, and Life. In the original comics, Reaper only has met Life through the moments when tragedy occurs right when Life begins. Toriel, in turn, thinks Death is somewhat of an abomination against her creation. It is, afterall, the reason she ran away from the other Gods in the first place. Then, they learn about each other and fall in love, I recommend reading the comics for more on that. But of course, something goes terribly terribly wrong, and Sans's scythe is stolen by the very first human, who he hesitated to reap and it's used to kill Toriel.
In my comics, Toriel has been brought back, but is slowly returning to full power. The original comics ended on somewhat unresolved with her being upset Sans lied to her, so let's say they're not exactly on great terms right now. But, Reaper, someone always quite cynical, has spiralled since then in terms of his self-perception.
In comes Dream, someone with many of the same characteristics of Toriel, but with the new bonus, that he is automatically excepting of Death right off the bat. No hostility, no fear, just a desire to be Reaper's friend.
There is one problem here, though, and that's how negative Reaper is in general. It's only a matter of time before Nightmare finds them while they're together. But he likes to cause suffering and he likes it to be immense, so what better dagger to drive into Reaper's heart than the looming threat that the more he sees Dream, the more he puts him in danger? What if the same thing happens again? What if he's responsible for the death of EVERYTHING this time? If Nightmare wins, the entire multiverse will slowly crumble until there is simply nothing left, and there will be no revival this time around.
Worse yet, he can't do anything against Nightmare. If Nightmare did appear, what would he do? What could he do? His fear would only make him stronger and Dream weaker. What good is he then?
If you're wondering why Nightmare doesn't have his soul on him, let's say he can break himself apart into various controllable vessels. At the cost of being weaker, it lets him keep his real soul, his one true soul, hidden somewhere Dream can't find it, meaning he can kill Dream and Dream will have a much more difficult time killing him.
I had fun finally making Reaper a skyscraper. Based off like one Reapertale drawing and its caption: [1]
Also funny coincidence, right as I was drawing the image of Reaper teleporting away the first time, I read the text under one of the Reapertale comic pages that said: "because sans teleporting away from problems"
Good to see I am right on track even when I'm not intending to directly reference something.
realistically speaking, every ponies race in the my little pony series just chalks up to interpretation. Since there's no canon race, that gives everyone the creative ability for racial headcanons and no one should be posted up by the stake for simply bc you don’t agree.
Now the most commonly argued character that I’ve seen is Pinkie Pie, so she will be used as an example
“Pinkie pie is white” “pinkie pie is black” and “pinkie pie is pink”
when someone draws their own interpretation of pinkie and she’s drawn as black, don’t you think it’s kinda really racist to comment and say “she’s not black.” Or “she’s literally white”
no? that opens up the problem. If you think it’s okay to comment something so unnecessary as such, then you might just be racist!
It’s a race chosen by someone random who enjoys the show because they have the creative ability to choose what race they think correlates to the character.
I personally, view pinkie as Black and Mexican. Now if you don’t agree with that does that give you the excuse to angrily attempt to argue with me about it? No. It doesn’t. Because race is not a big issue when it’s interpreted especially if It’s not canon. No race is canon, but that does NOT mean you aren’t allowed to headcanon.
Now the other argument ,
Weight.
A lot of people come off as fatphobic and choose to say more unnecessary hateful comments like “why the fuck is she fat” or “she’s skinny not overweight.”
yet again, a lot of the ponies, have the same body type. So someone having the headcanon that pinkie pie is chubby, fat, or skinny shouldn’t be an excuse to hate on them. Mlp has a lack of variety when it comes to both race(since there’s no canon race’s) and weight. Except for if you count Zecora, who’s a zebra and has an accent, which indicates she’s a different race(which makes sense, since she is not a horse)
You can hc any pony as skinny, any of them as chubby and anyone as fat. That does not mischaracterize the character whatsoever. Why? Because yet again nothing of race and weight is canon
