hOO BOY I'M READY TO GET HATE FOR THIS ONE

YOU MAY BE THINKING,

"EW! MORVEN AND SHIVA?! THEY'RE EVIL!! WHY WOULD YOU LIKE THEM?1!1?"

NOW, NOW, cALM DOWN, yOU SILLY LITTLE IDIOT

LET US LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF ANTAGONIST

Who's the REAL bad guy?-[BI]hOO BOY I'M READY TO GET HATE FOR THIS ONE

YOU MAY BE THINKING,

*coU g H* alrighTy can you point out where it says an antagonist mUST be evil?

Let's think about it for a minute!

Reapers have one job: decide who goes to Heaven or Hell based on their memories

You would surely have to be extremely devoted to your job to be able to do it well, right? Especially if it determines who goes to Heaven or Hell

What if a reaper decided not to do their job?

What happens if someone who died went to neither Heaven nor Hell? Would they wander around for eternity, waiting to be reaped?

Now, let's look at Imp;

He was supposedly releasing souls because innocent ones were being sent to Hell by Shiva so she could become more powerful

BUT!

Imp isn't necessarily the most dependable person, isn't he?

He lies several times throughout the series

Hell, he has this weird corrupt form that literally nobody talks about?!? Like what's up with that???

Who's the REAL bad guy?-[BI]hOO BOY I'M READY TO GET HATE FOR THIS ONE

YOU MAY BE THINKING,

He literally insults May MULTIPLE times

And, heck, the memory Imp shows May could have been fake for all we know!

There are several instances throughout the memory where it turns all.. weird

YOU MAY BE THINKING,

This could, perhaps, be because of Imp's unstable power, but it could also mean other things..

Yet, Imp supposedly isn't evil - he's one of the most beloved characters in the fandom

Even though there could be even WORSE things he did to get himself locked up like that

And now, Morven

Yeah, Morven betrayed Imp, blah blah blah wE GET IT.

But, again, how much of that could've been real?

Morven was clearly loyal to Shiva and dedicated to his job as a reaper

"We've been assigned this job for a REASON, Imp. You KNOW this." -Morven

Maybe Shiva and Morven weren't in the right, who knows - but one thing's for sure

Being an antagonist does NOT = being completely and utterly evil with no feelings whatsoever

It just means they're going against the protagonist(s)

And, does that mean every single reaper who continued to follow Shiva is completely without a doubt evil?

No!

That's a foolish thing to assume and I think we all need to take a step back and realize these things

"Imp, you have committed treason against the Rift. You have committed one of the greatest crimes.. you know what must be done." -Shiva

I Imp saying something along the lines of: If you show too long if a memory, or too great of one, it could destroy a reaper.

I'm not defending Imp. I honestly think Imp sent Cypress to hell

That could very well be the case, but my point was that Imp is untrustworthy and therefore he could potentially be lying.

Yeah! Every character has it's good and bad traits, and it's important to realize that antagonist =\= bad guy.
