[the-horsemen-ride]

Updated horsem refs 2/5. These are for art fight bc at these point they might as well be ocs but I figured I should post em here too. Will work on the other three asap but these are also very barebones so i may also go back to fix these up

Finally bought the game so I'm going to actually be able to play after all these years ^_^ which I am happy about.

I have not really had the time/ energy/ headspace to post here but I've got some things in mind for a return, maybe. Don't want to promise anything but I don't want any radio silence either. Either way that's gonna be after Art Fight.

[IMAGE ID: two rectangular flags. the first one has seven stripes, and the second one has nine stripes. the first flag has scalloped top and bottom stripes, each bump being a different size. the lines mirror each other. the rest of the stripes are straight, and mostly even. the middlemost stripe is slightly thinner. the colors of the stripes, from outside to inside, are as follows: black, warm brown, dull brown, and light brown. there is a light grey circle in the center, with ultra famine from the binding of isaac inside it. famine is a dull brown humanoid with no lips. he has no eyes, just eye sockets. only his head is visible. the second flag has even-sized horizontal stripes. the colors of the stripes, from top to bottom, are as follows: light grey, light brown, dull brown, warm brown, black, cool brown, cool red, medium red, and dull tan. the second flag also has ultra famine from the binding of isaac in the center. he is riding a hobby horse.

though i kind of have my own ideas for isaac VCs with different VAs from various sources a dueling/coexisting idea is that everyone sounds like Isaac or his parents putting on a voice. Sometimes pitched up or down but mostly just. The sort of voices parents make up as they tell a bed time story. The sort of voices of kids waving around toys and playing pretend or house or superheroes put on for each character.

The horsemen would all be voiced by Bossi, as I'm pretty sure is the case for their Ultra forms (unless that's Edmund??)... though I would be partial to Kihlstedt providing voice-work for an Ultra Conquest the way one of Satan's lines is from the Mom fight, warped beyond recognition but still the voice of his mother. Half as a call to her being warped by fundamentalism and televangelism, half a hc on his voice ive always sorta had of him sounding a little softer/higher than you'd think.

There are also some exceptions like Dogma taking on the voices of televangelists - though that's still Bossi and the symbolism is relatively preserved - and maybe even some of the monsters sounding like Guppy (probs Loki, Little Horn and Baby Plum among others) or that good ol uncle bob. And Ultra Pride is just Edmund and Florian. I don't know how they got in this dying kid's psyche, but hey.

[thesparklingofisaac]

Pick your favourite monster + your pride flag (or pride flag of your choice) and mush them together! I want to see how that turns out

Alright then. Soc here, I have ACTUAL favourites unlike the others hyperfixating over so much lmao-

??? is my favoured player. He is quite a challenge yet he once beat Delirium and that was amazing. (thx soc!! 🦇)

Bonies are my favourite enemies, Sheriff has one named Marco. Another named Polo, they’re polar opposites. (lmao moar budsies 🦴) (what the hell forgor. what the hell 🕊️)

And I am in a cross between Famine, Ultra Greed, and Mother. Isaac’s parents are quite fascinating.

I chose the uranic flag because my creator Sheriff is uranic as well.

This was fun, tag other TBoI enjoyers with this sort of ask. It’s really fun. Thanks Anon! :)

Harbingers of the old faith

[puppybeetle]

wait haha i wanna talk abt the concept i has that each horsie has a ' curse ' and other stuffff :3

basically the horsemen r ' harbingers ' , it both a role and a race ... . in a way i dunno , tho ' horseman ' and ' harbinger ' r interchangeable terms tbh . anyway , a harbinger are bascially just personification of some type of major human tragedy , these being famine , pestilence , war , conquest , and death . there are other minor ones like meltdown and pollution , basically fanmade horsemen are what i consider minor harbingers , the ones already in tboi are major harbingers , basically the main ones , with death basically the ' leader ' in a way since he was the first harbinger to be born . anyway , harbingers are neither ( i almost typed out ' neigh ' btw ) holy nor demonic but are in a way most related to holy beings like angels . they are basically an inbetween so they associate and work with both angels and demons , whether they like it or not because since they personify a human tragedy they kind of have no choice in it , think of them as middlemen in a way ?? best way i can put it but also kind of not ... . angels and demons still interact directly but its the best way i can describe it .

bleh whgatever , each harbinger is born with a ' curse ' that is related to the human tragedy they represent . for famine , she is ' cursed ' with eternal hunger , she can sate it by eating but after a couple hours she becomes hungry again . this hunger is painful but shes used to it , but if famine goes too long without eating she becomes ravenous and will just abt eat anything , rotting corpses , garbage , anything at all to sate her hunger .

as for pestilence her ' curse ' is well ... . his body . basically , its body is constantly decaying , this causes her to experience extreme pain and a lot of times he cant walk or move . think of it as chronic pain , where there are times shes okay !! and is fine moving around , but most of the time its a huge pain to move which is why he is seen on her horse most of the time .

now for war and conquest , as twins their ' curse ' is shared , and it is that whatever injury one sustains is sustained by the other . the only difference is that these injuries are mirrored on the other twin , so war and conquest have mirrored scars . the only difference is that conquests blindness was not also given to war , and thats because their blindness is basically a symbol of the oath they took towards ' god ' . since it was only conquest that took this oath , war is not blind , same reason why he also doesnt have the autopsy scar that conquest has .

as for death , it has been realsies difficult for me to come up with a ' curse ' for it . at first i thought of it as his immortality , but to me , every harbinger is immortal so it didnt make any sense realsies ... so really , death kind of has no ' curse ' , it just kind of exists .. . that doesnt change the fact that he has 100 million problems tho .. . my poor kitten simply cannot catch a break ;^;

okay more on harbingers or else my brain will explode . they can eat , but anything they eat is turned into pure energy as they dont really have a functioning digestive system . while theyre bodies are extremely similar to humans , they are completely sterile and are pretty much devoid of any biological functions , they dont even has a functioning heart . another thing is their recovery rate , a harbinger heals much quicker than a human and can heal any fatal wound . exceptions would be like a missing limb , where the detached limb would have to be immediately ' reconnected ' in order to make a full recovery , a harbinger simply cannot regenerate so much . either way , a wound can never be fatal to a harbinger , and really nothing can really do significant damage to one . only exceptions are holy and demonic beings , other harbingers , and holy metal , which is what deaths main scythe is made out of .

bweh uhmmm harbingers have like .. . unnatural strength , even if some of them are literal twigs ( cough famine and death ) they can still easily overpower a muscular human person , its just that compared to other harbingers they are notably weak ... . tho harbingers also have magical abilities !! its like a tradeoff of sorts , where physically stronger horsemen have weaker magical abilities and horsemen who have stronger magical capabilities are physically weaker compared to other harbingers . it explains why death can slow down time and stuff like that , out of all the harbingers its the one with the most magical strength and it is both war and conquest who have the most physical strength ( making the twins evenly matched ) .

another thing i wanna bring up is apollyons associations to the harbingers . if anything hes like a cousin of sort , a kind of distant cousin maybe . i hasnt really thought up much other than that for apollyons relation to the horsies .. . but that bring up other point that all the harbingers are related , the main horsemen ( ones in tboi already , exception of headless ) are siblings while minor horsemen act as cousins . its a family sort of .. . a really dysfunctional one that death has to deal with ;_; this kind of all i has because my brain blanked out and now i cant rember everything else i wanted to type so u only get half of harbinger hcs </3

wait actyually i might as well put this here too becayse bleh idccc but death and siren r bffs :3 and have been for few hundred yrs ^w^ siren porbabky would jus gossip and death wuold go ' ah yeas of course :3 ' even tho he has no idea what going on XD i like to imagine ... . he also helped her out with styling her hair ?? bcause i do see siren as trans so death would help her with presentation , and then she saw his sister ( famine ) and went ' wouaghh .. . ' :3 eiethr way i tihnk it silly than siren woulg has her best freind , a BALD man , help her out with experimenting with her hair XD i am sorryu girl .. . he is going to give u the worst haircut evar ( jk he didnt .. . i mean death did few couple times but he got betterrrrrr :3 )
