Conquest

He's kinda what War is for Sheol, he's like a war general of Cathedral but ehh not really? It's not like they go to war, but they have a defense system I guess.

He may be ugly compared to the way he's usually portrayed but at least his hair is still beautiful 😢/j

It’s been a while since I’ve tboi posted and I’ve def said this before but I like how the horsemen r like that . Such simple designs but they get across just the right vibe

There’s a sort of innocence in it. Isaac’s interpretation of the bringers of everyone’s doom is a couple of silly kinda gross/nasty guys that ride on toy horses that laugh and cheer when they see each other beat up babies. And sometimes cry when their horsies r taken away.

But they also have that same odd-kilter edge of grossness and morbidity. They’re not just a skinny one, a sick one an angry one and a skeleton; they’re corpses (debatable in War’s case, the redness could also read as burns and heavy scarring or exposed skin). Famine and Pestilence are decomposing. Every horse is as worse for wear as its owner. And theyre all legitimate threats, if not on a typical run then in the final confrontation for sure. There’s also their theme, how it changes to fit them all, its sophistication as Death enters the fray.

Death is a skeleton alone. It’s a universal symbol, but he’s exactly what he should be, a way to show death as an equalizer and a truth isaac must face. He doesn’t need to be flashy or a new twist. He works. And he’s funny.

But the mix just goes to show that for his odd taste and better-than-average knowledge of the Bible, Isaac is still a little kid. One who had the whole weight of the world shifted onto his shoulders as his family fell apart and he became the victim of neglect, abuse and extreme religious beliefs. He is terrified and distraught, forced to deal with much more than most other kids deal with. Instead of getting a happy, safe childhood, he spends what little years he has… like this. To the point where his mind becomes this dark place, where even the most childish and idealized aspects become warped and unsafe. And of course, the Horsemen aren’t the only aspect that show this, but I feel they do act as a more notable display of this alongside some other bosses and aspects of the game…

And Conquest… ah… Dare I say the most “mature” of Isaac’s horsemen, in terms of what the boy is going through in his head. Maybe he shares this award with death, though. Not only does Isaac acknowledge the forgotten one, but… there’s just something so. Interesting about the state Conquest is in. He, too, is a corpse, but he’s not quite like the others. He is not that skeleton picked clean and is very visibly dead, but he is relatively intact and well preserved. Even the horse head seems alright. There is… honor. Respect. Humanity. Glory. He himself is holy, one of two enemies that attack w/ beams of light. The other is Isaac.

And that’s just. It’s a lot to unpack. But I think it’s telling that Conquest is the holy one. The white rider basked in holy light, not aligned with any demon, able to keep a body not rotting, burnt or stripped of flesh…

And maybe that’s why he’s the “forgotten” one. The reason he’s not with the Beast and other demons.

Because no one wants to admit those that call themselves holy the most are the ones doing the destroying.

And In killing his own “holy” self and Dogma, Isaac already destroys the standards he was held to and overcomes the brunt of the trauma from the fundamentalist beliefs imposed upon him. Conquest is really only an extension of that. He need not fight him. Now it’s a fight against the aftermath, the rest of the pain, the worst his mother sent to him…

But the source? Dogma. And conquest dies with dogma.

 💭 (@greedycatdemon , need to come back to the blog some day...)

Famine: So that’s how we got into this whole shindig — by fate or The Beast or someone else pulling the strings, I don’t know, but the Basement has its ways. And I have my ways of not knowing anything.

Pestilence: Pretty sure it was just a passive-aggressive wake-up call to rope us into playing along with uh, all this.

Famine: You know, it’s always real strange waking up for the first time in years. Time moves weird in… there. It’s not like you’re knocked out, but you’re not awake either.

Pestilence: You’re out of it enough that it won’t bother you. I like the quiet. And not throwing up all the time.

War: It’s not quiet in there.

Pestilence: Maybe your head is just noisy. And I’ll repeat the- uh, not throwing up thing. Makes getting out at first a lot… worse, though.

Famine: Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so hungry.

Death: You say that all the time…

Famine: Because I keep finding new lows.

Death:… but I will say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you tear into someone like that before.

Famine: Okay, now you’re bullshitting.

Death: What? If that’s the hungriest you’ve been, then that’s the messiest and most brutal you’ve been. You can’t have that both ways.

Famine: It’s embarrassing. And people don’t take kindly to flaying kids into ribbons, even if Isaac’s over it.

Death: Famine, that’s not something you get over.

Famine: He’s not all that scared anymore though.

Death: Just because he's not acting—I'll let you have this. Anyway, as for you, Conquest...?

Conquest: It was peaceful, I think. Well, most of the time. I felt it was... like sleep. Not the same, but a similar sense and... I would say I dreamed, or got close to it.

War: You had it better in that luxury coffin.

Conquest: It's not all that different, you don't have to turn everything into some sort of contest.

War: I'm just saying.

Conquest: It almost hurt, waking up again, but I think if anything I felt powerful. Maybe it was more the joy of freedom, or knowing that I was going to play a part of something worthwhile again. Either way...

PLEASE DRAQW THE DEATH HORSEMNE OR ANY HORSEMEN PLEAS$/

Death is my second favorite after Conquest. I kinda hate these and I can’t believe it took me so long to draw the horsemen what a fake fan I am.

Annnnyway now that we’re here I might… spend a word on these two. Basically in the AU the horsemen are chosen by Apollyon to do his bidding and bring forth the Apocalypse, so these two only exist in the Basement universe (that’s where Perseus’ story takes place) and they’re more like… the kids’ idea of what the horsemen might be. Death is a bit more developed, since kids have a better idea of what death is and how it’s represented in art, so he can think and speak. Conquest on the other is a feral beast and only speaks in grunts and will bite without warning, bc kids don’t really know what “conquest” means so they imagined him like that and the Basement gave it form. The Y incision was probably Lazarus’ idea.

Here is the mug: https://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/1336469213/roman-countryball-mug-roman-empire

Let me present... a cute mug I did with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse on it! It is 4 horsemen: Death, Conquest, Famine and War. Plus an extra: the Healess Horseman :D They all ride on broomsticks. These are heavily inspired by “The Harbringers” from the game TBOI <3 But who are these guys? They are figures in the Christian scriptures first appearing in the Book of Revelation :)
