So, question for everyone. If you’re a magical being of some sort that supposedly blesses people, but you’re also known as a Reaper, what do you think that exactly means?

[Oh, hi, Isaac. This is. Awkward.]

It doesn't sound good, that much is clear.

[coinflipped]

It doesn't. It makes me think that I was an Angel of Death or something. It'd make sense with all the shit that breaks around me right now.

[scythegun]

"Reaper" always makes me think of death, but hopefully that's not what it actually is!

It's good to see you're back, by the way! I was a bit worried you weren't returning to us!

[Not like being on the app is necessarily a good thing...]

[coinflipped]

I would hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised either given my luck.

[Really, he wouldn't.]

Anyway, yeah I'm back. For better or for worse.

[okitactless]

you bless people with death??
maybe

[coinflipped]

That's pretty morbid...

[But he's not fighting that idea, either.]

[vitis]

seconding that, bless through death
then maybe through an actual kiss of death
??

[coinflipped]

A kiss of death sounds awful. Though if that were true, many people would be dead...

...or not if I haven't regained that ability.

[livingimpaired]

That depends. Do you know what you do with the souls of the dead?

[coinflipped]

No, I actually don't. I don't even know if I have anything to do with souls.

At this point I'm left with more questions than answers.

[sotenbori]

quick we better get you to the nearest hot topic

[coinflipped]

You're a fucking asshole, you know that?

[He means that mostly lovingly.]

[surprising]

i thought i was the only one

[ +1 to being a spirit that may or may not bless people with death? ]

[coinflipped]

I'm not sure how I feel having a kindred spirit in this. Though I admit, it's kinda nice not being alone.

[dulynoted]

Not based on pop culture understandings of classical westernized supernatural beings.

I take it you're referring to yourself?

[coinflipped]

No, I'm asking for a friend.

...

Of course I'm talking about myself.

[I apologize for his sarcasm...]

[rebellions]

that people are afraid of what they don't understand
or something among those lines

[coinflipped]

And is there anything wrong with being afraid of this?

[pseudonyms]

like ok, this sounds totally morbid but is is possible that a reaper could be blessing people with death? like putting people out of their misery and stuff...

[coinflipped]

It's entirely possible that could be the case.
It's not something I want to think about, though, but something I should keep an open mind about.

[floret]

Well 'reap' just means 'harvest' and there a lot of different things a magical being could harvest. Or be involved with harvesting. And many of them wouldn't be ominous at all!

But also, same, maybe?
Except without the blessing part?
lol

[coinflipped]

That is an optimistic look at it, but I doubt that's the case.

[commandertoolbelt]

most of the gods from old myths had more than one aspect
maybe it’s something like that

[coinflipped]

Maybe, but I'm no god. That is one thing I know for sure.

[yakan]

that youre cool???




seriously though maybe youre the grim reaper and the grim reaper is an angel

[coinflipped]

Well, there are a lot of 'maybe you're an angel of death' theories going around... unfortunately.
