I LIED
There's ONE MORE WIP ART THING
It's another animation! :3 tho its from my flipaclip days--
This is was a hypothetical Apocryphal SMP scene in my head, and a mash of my love for No Longer You from EPIC the Musical.
Also The Trader of Tales design jumpscare!
In my head is what essentially Reaper finds The Trader and asks for how she can get back to SoB, since she woke up in new Worlds after SoB ends. The Trader basically tells her she can't and Reaper gets aggressive, then shows Reaper all her traumatic past moments as a 'with all you've been through, you won't be the same to them anymore anyway.'
Small breakdown of what Reaper saw though because I'm still very proud of this!!
In the background you see Ghoda, someone (Yoda's amnesiac ghost) that Reaper cares a lot about. She unfortunately has not done great in keeping him 'alive', but those were out of her control. The first time was in the Loreland finale, where Yoda was possessed by a mysterious entity and killed all of Reaper's friends then himself, leaving her all alone for a year. The second time was much more recent and much more heartbreaking for her.
This is showing a scene from Loreland. Yoda was infected and possessed by sculk (he really needs to stop getting possessed-) and Reaper realized the only way to free him from it was to kill him. She views that as her betraying him in a sense, since they were starting to finally become friends when that point of lore happened.
Ignore how shittily this frame is drawn I hadn't cleaned it up yet LMAO
So this is 'a brother's final stand'. This ^ is Gerald, my brother's OC from Loreland and a pumpkin-headed British demon who Reaper considered almost a brother. Gerald was one of the people killed by a possessed Yoda in the finale, and Reaper felt his death as he died in terror.
Some proper Gerald art for you though :)
Love this guy. I know in my heart he's alive somewhere and reunited with his 6-year-old son Symphony and his wife Callista
