#john doe (malevolent)
Text
This season I want John to use his projecting powers/his arm to kill again, but this time I don't want it to be out of hatred, I want it to be out of devotion to Arthur, so devoted he becomes unrecognizable in a way we've never seen before. I want him to become utterly visceral. Out of so much devotion that it doesn't even cross Arthur's mind that this could be remanence of The King in Yellow, John's his own now, I want him to blur the lines between John and something else entirely, something worse.

john and arthur are so interesting because the worst thing ever could and will happen between them like things that would destroy the most strongest friendships or family relationships but they HAVE to soldier on through them and repair what they're left with because they physically cannot be seperate from eachother and neither can they take a longer break from communicating with eachother

"Tell me what we see--"
This is probably a favorite piece of mine right now that was done as a collab with bluejayblueskies as a journal cover and piece!
[You can also find it as a print here!]
[ID below cut!]
[ID: A painting of a depiction of John Doe and Arthur Lester from Malevolent. Arthur is a faired skinned man with freckles, russet hair with gray streaks, wearing a white button down shirt, looking defiant. He stands holding a silver lighter in his right hand that illuminates him and the figure behind him. John Doe is a large, masked figure cloaked in golden yellow and a large white mask with golden eyes and one broken horn on the mask. He has coal black skin and a monstrous hand grasping Arthur's shoulders and neck, claws poking against his shirt. Both of them are cloaked with black and gold smoke circling around them with colored shadows cast on them from the flame of the lighter. The logo of the artist is in the lower left hand corner. Finished March 6th, 2024. /End ID]

How long has it been since Arthur got a decent night’s sleep? Was it the coma?

There’s so much in Malevolent to be devastated over so why am I the most sad about the way things turned out with Yellow
Like, Yellow is John’s other half— the half that had been the main villain, threat, and danger for so many episodes now. And then, one day, POOF!! His memories were gone, and he was put into the same situation that John was in when he first met Arthur. I know it would have taken so extremely long, and may never have happened, but I keep imagining what it would have been like if Arthur helped Yellow feel some humanity, too. What would have happened if both Yellow AND John were changed for the better? Would the King in Yellow as a whole no longer be some evil Erdrich god, torturing souls for the heck of it?
Them beating Yellow in the finale of season 4 is one of the saddest parts to me, because it’s made very clear that Yellow wants to be cared for; he wants the bond and change that John had. Yellow goes so far as to ask John how he had made it so that Arthur would love John and care for him as much as he did, and what made John more lovable than himself. But he never receives it. Perhaps he simply can’t.
I just find it so sad— like this man is definitely not great, very far into the dark grey area of the moral spectrum, but he had so much opportunity to be good, even if it was taken away in the end. And I mean, perhaps he never could have changed, since John explained that Arthur cared for him because John cared for Arthur, which implies that Yellow couldn’t do the same, but the thought that he, once, might have been able to… he at least deserved someone to care about him, instead of trying to use him like Larson :(((

Wouldn't it be so fucked up if Arthur got Kayne the stone and he gave Faroe back as promised and she was just off, different, not the daughter he raised, not Faroe. That would be soooooo fucked up right

arthur's life would be so much easier if malevolent was happening in modern times. he could talk to john and have an airpod in his ear (that's turned off) and just pretend he's on the phone

Unhinged thought but.
Arthur/Oscar/John/Charlie
The strangest polycule possible
John constantly being bitchy about having to share Arthur with Oscar until Charlie pays attention to HIM and then he’s fine with sharing suddenly
Arthur having to communicate FOR John and feeling weird about third wheeling on these deeply personal conversations with the others
