History Webcomic / ApocalypticHorseplay

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: The reason the Horsemen abandoned their goals of causing the Apocalypse? They had believed that they were God's instruments, cleansing the Earth and sending humanity to its final judgment, but near the end of WWII, they encountered an orphan gypsy girl from a concentration camp who could see them all. When she saw Mot, she asked him why he hadn't come for her. Mot saw that it wasn't her time and warned her that wishing for her own demise would stain her soul, but she said that she'd lost all will to live and all hope to be saved. When Mot asked if she had any faith, she said that she didn't anymore, that "no god would have wanted this". That's when the Horsemen realized that they were only following their own will, not God's and that they weren't carrying out his plan and bringing Salvation to the worthy, but were instead stripping them of hope. For Mort it involved her asking him what would happen when even death dies]].

* BeenThereShapedHistory: The Horsemen were at least partially responsible for, among other things, the Black Death and both World Wars.

* ConnectedAllAlong: Angela's flatmate is the granddaughter of the witch from Undead Ed.

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Heinrich Himmler appears in Chapter 4, As Boredman himself puts it, "Some details about Himmler's life and career can be found in the footnotes for CH4. What, did you think I just randomly trying to educate you this whole time?"]]

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Mot only started to try and bring about the End of Days after he learned about the Book of Revelations.

* AnimalsHateHim: [[spoiler: Dogs, at least, don't like Lily very much at all, since she's TheAntichrist, and she doesn't like them much either. Cats seem OK though, though it might just be because it's a ''witch's'' cat]].

* AnimalsHateHim: [[spoiler: Dogs, at least, don't like Lily very much at all, since she's TheAntichrist. Cats seem OK though, though it might just be because it's a ''witch's'' cat]].

* InvisibleToNormals: Save for Mot, one can normally only see the Horsemen if they’ve been influenced by them somehow, directly or in essence. For example, Bellsing being able to see Pesty because he got sick. Angela can see them all for some reason.

* DontFearTheReaper: Mot, the personification of death looks a bit like a typical grandpa, maybe with a little bony knees... he's also the nicest of Horsemen, and the one who convinced them to settle down instead of bringing constant chaos to earth. His appearance is somehow close to Literature/{{Discworld}} Death, with his [[Main/PaintingTheMedium heavy way of speaking]], kindness to humans and lack of understanding them in the same time. He subscribed to police magazines, probably out of sympathy to the cop he ended up scaring, when he went to his door to advertise subscriptions and had to hear Mot unintentionally narrate violent story of his gun and his previous user. He don't like the "Death" name and doesn't act as it.[[spoiler: Until you [[HeKnowsTooMuch know to much]]. Then better watch out.]]

* TruthInTelevision: [[http://www.webtoons.com/en/comedy/apocalyptic-horseplay/ch3-ep14-war-offering/viewer?title_no=635&episode_no=68 "War Offering"]] states some conclusions of war from modern research - despite [[WarIsHell battle's horror and infamy]], far more people are killed by [[ThePlague disease]] and [[NothingButSkinAndBones starvation]] brought on by war rather than its actual combat.

* Main/AcceptableTarget: For his pranks Famine chooses blunt and arrogant Main/HollywoodAtheist and a dirty fat sexist.
* Main/AllAnimalsAreDogs: Apparently, even germs. However, we don't see them, so we don't know did they really act like dogs, or just Pesty treats them like that. According to him, they don't want to ride in trunk, cause they want to see the road, and they are cute. Germs even guard the house by night and Pesty needs to "call them back" off intruders.
* Main/AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of course, the four.
* Main/DontFearTheReaper: Mot, the personification of death looks a bit like a typical grandpa, maybe with a little bony knees... he's also the nicest of Horsemen, and the one who convinced them to settle down instead of bringing constant chaos to earth. His appearance is somehow close to Literature/{{Discworld}} Death, with his [[Main/PaintingTheMedium heavy way of speaking]], kindness to humans and lack of understanding them in the same time. He subscribed to police magazines, probably out of sympathy to the cop he ended up scaring, when he went to his door to advertise subscriptions and had to hear Mot unintentionally narrate violent story of his gun and his previous user. He don't like the "Death" name and doesn't act as it.[[spoiler: Until you [[HeKnowsTooMuch know to much]]. Then better watch out.]]
* Main/EatingOptional: Famine likes to hang out in pub enjoying some pie. When Mot states, that he doesn't need to eat, his answer is, that he likes to. It appears that he's only one of Four doing that, so it might be connected to him being a personification of hunger.
* Main/HeelFaceTurn: Just decades ago, the four Horsemen's goal was the end of the world, but they changed their mind for unknown reasons and are already retired.
* Main/HeKnowsTooMuch: Angela, very quickly. But thanks to luck rather, than a superior journalist method.
* Main/HollywoodAtheist: Randy, a side character from the opening. He is rude, slacks off, forced to participate in bible study as a part of rehabilitation for some misdeeds. He's clearly doing great for an [[Main/AcceptableTarget acceptable target]] for Famine's pranks.
* Main/HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: They are main characters, but Hell no longer follows with them - they settled down and decided to give that all "end of the world" stuff a rest.

* BewaretheNiceOnes: Pesty. As you can see in chapter 2 episode 26.
