Nice, but it bugs me that I can't figure out which is which, except for Death.
I was confused at first, but it turns out these are actually the traditional representations. From Wikipedia:
I'd only ever heard Pestilence before, not Conquest. Conquest and War seem awfully similar to me as concepts.
Apparently some interpretations paint war as specifically being civil war. So if you're an early Christian, war is when you're fighting your neighbours and conquest is when Rome arrived. That was about 150 years before Revelation is thought to have been written, so I'd expect plenty of stories of it had survived
Thanks, I guess I only knew them from the Metallica song and from "good omens".
From left to right: virgin, slut, emo, and the kid with the hockey stick is the jock
Edgy...
red + sword is usually war, i think?
