“Clothes make the man.” An attempt at chronicling Arthur’s various outfits throughout the podcast thus far…
I’m a total shipper and this is really important ⬆️ love this podcast, I interpret it as super gay but that’s just part of how I enjoy it. Lots of people interpret the characters as aro/ace and enjoy it that way.
Making a post bc I am still every other week or so seeing posts from new fans talking about how John/Arthur better be canon bc they’ll be mad otherwise or asking if it is or SAYING it is and I need other people to spread this around and actually listen to me.
Harlan has said they won’t end up romantically together. No look at me. Canonically they won’t. He loves the fics and stuff and finds it enjoyable, but they aren’t going to be canon.
That means that you have GOT to stop trying to get new fans in by saying how gay it is. That might work in 2010 when bury your gays was the most you could ask for but there’s actual rep now, if you tell someone something is gay they’re going to be expecting to SEE it at some point.
You are putting Harlan, who makes the entire show by himself and does not have anything vetted, does not have a pr team, and is active in the fandom, in danger. People are already calling it queerbait and gaslighting. You are disappointing and pissing off people who want to see venom/Eddie and aren’t going to get it.
Saying you love someone and showing them life experiences they haven’t had isn’t inherently romantic, especially if one of you is new to the being human thing, it’s the 1930s so the entire masculinity romance landscape is entirely different, and you share a body and couldn’t leave if you wanted. It’s not homophobic to manage expectations.
Queerbaiting is when a show is promised to be queer to bring in the queer audience and then they don’t. He’s specifically said it isn’t. YOU are queerbaiting people. I can not continue to every other week see an excited fresh faced person say they got into the show bc they heard it’s a queer podcast or has gay rep when it’s blatantly untrue. I can’t see more see it’s canon friends would never do this together. It’s fun to play with and I love it, it’s a fun ship, but you have to stop telling people it’s real and the only option.

if it weren't so clearly gearing up towards a desperate tragedy this entire exchange of arthur going "lying bad" and john going "what if lying good" and then getting incredibly fake offended when arthur asks if he has, perchance, been lying would be comedy gold
Awwwh I love this Bella design!
First few sketches from Part 33! Very fun episode.
We still don’t have a full picture of Bella but given what we know I like to imagine that she was a young woman who was on the cutting edge of fashion and made some of her own pieces, hence why her ensembles pictured above are a touch more modern than what was commonly seen in the early to mid 20s.
Bonus for Arthur getting called out
Why did I spend an hour on this? Idfk don't ask me personal questions
