Noooooo Wait—so If John Could See His Distorted Reflection Through The Mask, Then Urged Arthur To Remain

Been binging this podcast for two weeks and I’m absolutely sick about it.

ALSO, Lord Arum is everything. Sir Marc is the best knight. Start with the first episode, ‘the head of the Janus beast’ you’ll LOVE IIT

I have a couple Tpp mutuals who have exclusively listened to Junoverse and I get it, but please listen to Second Citadel I am insane about it

so im going to list some propaganda for why you should listen to it along with Juno

Less time between episodes you can listen to

theres 2 weeks in between every episode anyways, you might as well fill the podcast less void with SC

We have…

Himbo knight

poet always in the midst of a mental breakdown

Sir Caroline

lizard man (autistic)

science lady (autistic)

small shape shifting child must protec

witch wife

worlds most anxiety ridden aroace

horse guy, victim of micro aggressions

sword Druid with 0 self preservation skills

also a genuinely good and inspired fantasy setting (with some sprinkles of sci-fi starting in season 5)

Yes justice for Arthur please! He is as human as he was in episode 1

Sorry to be a wet blanket but I still find it depressing that even after Malevolent episode 26, I’ll still people talk about Arthur “losing his humanity” in season 3 as if it’s some confirmed major theme of the show.

It was explicitly addressed—and accurately portrayed—as trauma, including a mental breakdown and the emotional numbness surrounding it. Arthur said he was less than human, and John pushed back in one of the most tender and powerful moments of the show. Arthur hasn’t become less human, he was deeply wounded and suffering and needs someone to hold his head above water to keep him from drowning or giving up.

The fallout is UGLY, but humanity is not a zero sum game. Arthur spiraling into despair and violence as a trauma response is not “John soaking up his humanity like a sponge” parasitical relationship, but John using the very kindness, mercy, and hope he learned from Arthur to reach out to him. And most importantly, not give up on him.

Anyway I’m confiscating the word “humanity” from the fandom until further notice.

I would like to point out that John's memory issues only started after The Nightmare. You know, after what might be the only time we've seen a supernatural creature affect his mind directly?

"and if there's a place gods go to die, it's in the silence of places lost, far from those who's eyes bring lies, and far from those who'd charge the cost."
