What is the difference between War and Conquest (Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse)?
I asked this question a few days ago but no one really answered what I was looking for. I'm not looking for a difference between the words but a difference between the personifications of them. I know war is the act an conquest is the outcome for the winner but as Horsemen what is the difference, like I said before, I understand the Four Horsemen when Pestilence replaces Conquest but not when Conquest and War are both Horsemen.
4 AnswersMythology & Folklore8 years agoWhat is the difference between Conquest and War?
In Christian mythology there is the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse (depending on the version) War, Death, Famine and Conquest/Pestilence. I was just wondering what the difference between War and Conquest is. In terms of a definition I know the difference but in terms of personifying them I can't seem to seperate the two of them, they're just too similar to be two different things. Can anyone help me differentiate between the two? It makes sense to me when the Horsemen are Death, War, Famine & Pestilence but when Pestilence is replaced by Conquest it gets too confusing for me.
Oh, and no hate or preaching/bagging or trolling. No one likes a douchewad :)
3 AnswersMythology & Folklore8 years agoBooks about Hellhounds?
I'm a massive fan of Supernatural and me and my cousin for talking the other day about hellhounds (as you do) and all the different mythologies about them. There is the basic invisiable dogs, black rabid wolves etc and the whole only the people who can see the hellhound/s is/are hunting.
The reason we went into so much of a discussion is because I'm an amature writer and I've had this idea about supernatural psychological warfare and thought that I could have my story revolve around someone who has hellhounds on their tail and sees them everywhere, starts seeing them everywhere, hearing them everywhere and it drives him crazy. He ends up killing himself because he doesn't want the hellhounds to get him. I haven't got my story entirely planned out, I just know that I like the idea.
Anyways, my question was is there anything similar out there in the industry? Something I can read to compare ideas and the sort.
Thanks heaps :)
2 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoHelp! I can't remember this movie's title!?
I watched it maybe five years ago? It's this film
About Asian vampires and I can only vaguely remember the first ten minutes, if that. There was this epic chase scene through the streets of an Asian town and there were these freaky Asian vampires and I think they were on motorbikes or they were chasing someone on a motorbike, maybe being hunted by someone on a motorbike? That's all I remember but I do remember they were vampires!
I started watching it and had to leave the house for something and it has bugged me ever since because I've wanted to watch it again but can't remember the title and no one I know seems to know it either. Help?
1 AnswerMovies8 years agoIs portraying god as a villain and angels as naive followers/warriors too controversial?
I'm an amature writer and I am obsessed with the supernatural, namely apocalyptic and battle type stories.
I have long dreamed of writing a prose about angels interaction with humans in the lead up to the apocolypse, I love the angels in Legion and Eric Kripke's idea for angels in Supernatural (I love the series full stop) but have always been nervous about how to approach the subject purely because of the backlash both Leigon and Supernatural have had from the wider religious community and I am a huge fan of freedom of speech and poetic license, creative interpretation and the sort but was just wondering what people thought of the idea of a group of warrior angels who came to earth to protect a prophet of The Lord (on gods orders ) and ended up finding their own emotions and heart but were torn between paradise and an emotionless existance or the option of being trapped on earth but free to feel emotions and be, essentially, human yet hunted by their former brethren. This story will paint God in a bad light, one as a captor of angels and angels as very naive, similar to a cult's structure.
I'm wondering if maybe it is too similar to stuff already published but with a different supernatural entity or is it just to controversial to have god portrayed as the 'bad guy'?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have quite abit of the prose storyboarded already but am torn about whether to continue it or not.
Thanks :)
No hate, please. If you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything, no one like a smart *** keyboard warrior.

4 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoDark, menacing figure at the foot of my bed.?
I have this creepy dark figure who stands at the end of my bed every night. He hasn't ever touched me or spoken but he just has this awful menacing air about him that makes me fear he is a malevolent spirit. I've hunted spirits before and have tried everything I know of to get him to leave. I have salted my door, I have an iron amulet blessed by myself, I have smudged my house, I've black sanded the edge of my bed and I sleep with howlite under my pillow. I've prayed, I've preformed enochian banishment rituals and I've even just asked him, flat out, to leave. None of this works. I'm starting to think that maybe this is an apparition in my mind, kind of like a alter ego because nothing has worked.
I guess what I'm asking is do you think it's possible that it's an imprint of my darker self that I see at night because that's what I'm truly afraid of or is it just a nightmare that I'm having, kind of like inception, a dream with in a dream?
I guess this was more for me to write it all out and ponder it as I did so then seek some answers but if anyone has any advice or anything then I'd really appreciate it :)
