History Webcomic / LovingReaper

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Perhaps unsurprisingly given their respective domains, Death and Life have this dynamic, with Death being kind but somewhat gloomy and Life being more peppy and...well, lively. Best seen when Death almost hits the DespairEventHorizon over the wildfires in Australia, before Life gives him a pep talk to help pull him out of it.

A webcomic by Jenny-Jinya which premiered in October 2019. Each comic follows the Grim Reaper, who talks with animals that have recently passed on. Each comic also has an Aesop pertaining to Human-Animal relations.

* AnAesop:
** A pet is a lifelong responsibility and not a toy you can just ignore when you get tired of it. Think of the animal's welfare before buying or adopting one.
** If you have to put down a pet, be with it during its final moments if you can.

* ReplacementGoldfish: The man in Void Puppy can barely stand to be around their new dog. But the little old lady in Black Cats responds to the death of her cat by going to the shelter and adopting a cat off of death row (the dead cat's mother, it turns out). Neither reaction is wrong, per say. Grief is different for everyone!

* AgonizingStomachWound: In "Mama Bear," a mother bear is has a tap run straight into her gall bladder to extract her bile.

* CruelTwistEnding: {{Inverted|Trope}}. For a webcomic that is very tragic most of the times, the endings can sometimes be surprisingly heartwarming.
** The fox who's drowning in a pool ends up being saved by the teenage girl and Life.
** A dog, with a seemingly maimed face, is never adopted, and belittled by people who are looking in shelters for dogs. The woman working at the shelter starts getting desperate, and gives up. [[spoiler: She ends up taking him home and adopting him.]]

* NiceGuy: The Reaper. He does what he can to comfort and help animals. He does not enjoy claiming souls.
** Life, too, being a cheery, motherly goddess who loves all her creations with her whole heart.

* KarmaHoudini: The humans responsible for the animals' plight are never punished for their actions. However, since this universe definitely has an afterlife, [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty they'll presumably be judged posthumously]].

* AgonizingStomachWound: In "Mama Bear," a mother bear is has a tap run straight into her in the gall bladder to extract her bile.

* EngineeredHeroics: One comic focuses on a puppy who either drowned or died of hypothermia because two guys decided to pretend to rescue him and threw him into a cold lake. Multiple times, since they wanted a good shot of it for their Youtube channel, a not-so-subtle [[YouBastard stab]] at the 'Rescue Ring' of animal abuse channels that masquerade as being animal rescuers, when in reality the people behind them engineer the situations for nothing more than clout and money at the expensive of the suffering of the animals they film. The worst part? The comic ends with [[KarmaHoudini both of the little bastards being hailed as heroes by their comments section]], no one even knowing that not only is the "puppy rescue" video fake, but that they ''killed'' the puppy they "rescued".

* CruelTwistEnding: InvertedTrope. For a webcomic that is very tragic most of the times, the endings can sometimes be surprisingly heartwarming.

%%* ComfortTheDying: What Death tries to do to the dead souls.

** In "Hear Me", a duckling notices that one of her chicks is missing, presumably unaware that it got run over by a car.
** The Orang-utan baby from "In A Bit" dies of malnutrition, and tells her mother to not yell at the "evil bone man".

* HeroicBSOD: In "Hope", Death has one of these in the aftermath of the 2020 Australian wildfires (yes, 2020 was so bad it made even the Grim Reaper miserable). Life comes to bring him out of this funk.

* BreakTheCutie: In the Dogfighting comic, the people abuse the pit-bull puppy till it becomes hateful, angry, and aggressive.

* DeathByDespair: The mother swan whose eggs were crushed by teenagers is so heartbroken that she dies and welcomes death without any hesitation.

* BittersweetEnding: The Reaper promises that everyone who dies is never forgotten on the other side.
** The turtle loses her eggs, but is reunited with her friends, who had also died

* ComfortTheDying: What Death tries to do to the dead souls.
* DarkIsNotEvil:

* TomatoInTheMirror: The whale in ''Henry'' seems to be unaware of the fact that he is the "Henry" in the poster. Subverted, as he reveals that he always knew that. Double subverted on Patreon where [[spoiler:it is revealed that Henry was the former ocupant of his tank, and his spirit was racing the whale, even though he couldn't see him.]]

** Pets are not toys you can just ignore when you get tired of them. Think of the animal's welfare before buying one.

%%* DarkIsNotEvil: The Reaper.

* {{Jerkass}}: Many examples, since the series involves animal abuse. Special mention goes to those guys who stage the rescue of a drowning puppy to [[EvilIsPetty get clicks on Youtube]].

* PuzzlingPlatypus: Platypuses were created by Death during a time when he and Life briefly exchanged roles and he wanted to create something brand-new. Neither of them are quite sure what to make of the resulting creature, although Death seems to be proud of the fruit of his labors.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Of a sort. Death is usually pretty grounded and reserved, and takes his duties very seriously. But when he and Life briefly exchanged roles, he was nothing short of ''ecstatic'' during that time and was eager to experiment with the creation of new life and stretch the limits of what he could accomplish, [[PuzzlingPlatypus which ended up resulting in the creation of the platypus]].
