The Other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse But Make It Cosmere
As requested by @round-hatches-are-terrifying. :)
In the Good Omens novel, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (War, Famine, Pollution, and Death), who are bikers, are followed by four other biker dudes who chose their own names to be, uh, equally ominous:
Grievous Bodily Harm, Cruelty to Animals, Really Cool People, and Treading In Dogshit (formerly All Foreigners Especially The French, formerly Things Not Working Properly Even After You’ve Given Them A Good Thumping, never actually No Alcohol Lager, briefly Embarrassing Personal Problems, and finally People Covered in Fish)
So let's say we had other Horsemen on various Cosmere planets. What would they be named?
1. Roshar (Stormlight Archive)
The Main Horsemen: War, Famine, Desolation, and Death
The Other Horsemen: Man-Eating Giant Crabs, Running Out Of Stormlight Right In The Middle of the Weeping, Ill-Conceived Boons, and Reified Gender Norms (formerly Men Reading, formerly Predicting the Future But Not Like Storm Wardens Do Because That's Just Math Basically, briefly just Predicting the Future)
2. Scadrial (Era 1) (Mistborn)
The Main Horsemen: Famine, Pestilence, Ash, and Death
The Other Horsemen: Child Abuse, Dangerous Piercings, Trying to Keep Literally Anything Clean, and Getting Hit in The Head With A Coin Like Every Night Because of Those Blasted Mistborn Flying About Everywhere
3. Scadrial (Era 2) (Mistborn)
The Main Horsemen: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death
The Other Horsemen: Social Unrest, Rich Bastards, ACAB, and Getting Hit in The Head With A Coin Like Every Night Because of Those Blasted Coinshots Flying About Everywhere
4. Nalthis (Warbreaker)
The Main Horsemen: War, Famine, Death, and Second Death
The Other Horsemen: Undead Squirrel Attacks, Being Out of Breath, The Haunting Realization that the Gods Who Live Among Us Are Actually Pretty Daft, and All Foreigners But Especially the Idrians
5. Threnody (Shadows for Silence)
The Main Horsemen: Fire, Blood, Running, and Death
The Other Horsemen: Fortfolk-Acting-Too-Big-For-Their-Britches, Withering-That-Does-Not-Kill-You-But-Does-Make-Life-Just-That-Much-Harder-Forever, Ghost-Grandmother, and Adonalsium-May-Remember-Our-Plight-Eventually-But-For-Now-It-Is-Pretty-Bleak-Out-Here-Guys
6. Komashi (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter)
The Main Horsemen: Nightmares, Famine, Pestilence, and Death
The Other Horsemen: Artist's Block, Being Straight on a Planet Where Even the Lighting is Bisexual, AI Art, and A Stiff Breeze Coming At Exactly The Wrong Time Noooo My Rock Stacks
7. First of the Sun (Sixth of Dusk)
The Main Horsemen: Bad Death, Worst Death, Quick Death, and Slow Death
The Other Horsemen: Mainlanders, Mainlander Capitalism, Kids These Days, and Suspicious Invaders (?) From Outer Space
8. Sel (Elantris)
The Main Horsemen: War, Famine, the Shaod, and Death
The Other Horsemen: Aggressive Proselytizers, Stubbing your Toe, People Who Do Not Accept The Word of Shu-Dereth And So Seal For Themselves Their Own Inevitable Doom, and I'm With The First Guy Who Said Proselytizers (formerly People Covered in Slime)

I have been wanting to draw Pokemon for awhile, and I finally did it. Kind of. I drew some Sans AUs and Salt AUs as Eeveelutions! Yay!
Blue and Beryl are Eevees. (Before anyone asks "Why are they so small?" It's because Eevee is a single foot tall and Jolteon and Glaceon, who are the next smallest are 2' 7'')
Horror and Horary are Flareons.
Cross and Crucifix are Vaporeons.
Error and Erratum are Jolteons.
Nightmare and Nightshade are Umbreons.
Dream and Dawn are Espeons.
Killer and Kibbe are Leafeons.
Dust and Dusk are Glaceons.
Ink and Ivy are Sylveons.
I made two different versions because I'm not sure which color palette I prefer. I'm working on drawing them individually and I'll probably use the bottom colors/bone colors.
Pokemon: Game Freak/Nintendo
Undertale: Toby Fox
Blue: Popcornpr1nce
Ink: Comyet
Dream: Jokublog
Nightmare: Jokublog
Error: Crayonqueen
Horror: Sour-Apple-Studios
Killer: Rahafwabas
Dust: Ask-Dusttale
Cross: Jakei95
Beryl, Ivy, Dawn, Nightshade, Erratum, Horary, Kibbe, Dusk, Crucifix: Me

Spoilers for Secret Project 3
I think it’s really interesting that as we see the Cosmere progress, there is a consistent theme popping up of the inherent threats imposed by machines, and the recurrence of the man v technology / nature v technology archetypes.
In 6th of the dusk the ones above who come bearing technology only offer it for nefarious reasons, and are trying to steal/study/coopt the avian magic that exists naturally.
In the Stormlight Archive the subplot of artifabrian-made shards poses a question of whether or not it is safe & morally right to bring into existence artificial shardplate and shardblades.
In Yumi and the Nightmare Painter the machine created by the scholars was what brought about the collapse of Torish society.
I’m sure there’s some examples that I’m missing, and probably some contradicting events, but it’s intriguing to me that as much as Cosmere societies want to advance, every time they go too far with technology it comes back to bite them in the ass. Certainly it carries a lot of parallels to our world nowadays, in which we must find and hold the line between automated convenience and the nullification of human involvement in…everything really. And it begs the question of how much can we do in pursuit of knowledge and improvement before we risk destroying the everyday magic that we already have accessible to us.

This as of yet unnamed digimon just revealed in the most recent digimon tcg related presentation ( is going to be a main character in a manga)
from @the-baron-of-burgle
UNNAMED DIGIMON FROM DIGIMON!
Design; 10/10 - AU G H
Mouse in shoe but the mouse is sown and the mouse is sowing and shoe is also alive??? Dude I fucking love this guy! Shape language and stuff! I've always loved Digimon's art style in general :]]
Purpose; 8/10 - since it's gonna be in the Manga I'm guessing everything will go ok! My only experience with Digimon was Digimon world dusk when i was like 9 (i got stuck in sewer maze and cried) so I don't have a full idea of the series. Uhh yeah I hope it turns out to be a banger character in the Manga though!! Looking forward to the various war crimes this guy'll commit :DD
OVERALL; 9/10 - if you give a mouse a needle, it'll kill a man
