Oh I love him just hanging out in the eyeball
more malevolent doodles and a wip
Thinking about them <3 Characters of all time, both of them.
[ID: a digital, fully coloured drawing of Yaretzi and Polly from Hello from the Hallowoods. They are facing each other with their hands resting at the others elbow.
Yaretzi is a brown-skinned woman with longer, black hair and wolf ears, she is wearing gold and turquoise jewelery. She is wearing a red waistcoat over a white shirt and is looking rather serious at Polly.
Polly is a white man with pale skin and freckles. He has bright ginger hair that falls in ringlets on his shoulders and is held back by a blue ribbon. He is wearing a blue suit with a light pink floral pattern. He looks worried.
The background is a plain beige. /End ID]
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
Diggory Graves: the sweetiest sweetie
Support workers above profits. New tech is exciting but should not come at the cost of our rights. For any industry.
We are on strike. I wish it wasn't happening, wish that the producers would negotiate in good faith, and support the strike 100%.
I try not to think about this ALL THE TIME.
Also Faust in the prison pits!! Ahghsjdkjx
I'm sorry but can we talk about Arthur's similarities to Faust???
*Spoiler warning for up to ep31*
For those who don't know German folklore/ literature, Faust follows the tale of a depressed and suicidal man who makes a deal with the devil to fufill his desire for knowledge. Now despite us knowing how Arthur's hunger for information has put his and John's survival at risk on multiple ocasions, There's so many parallels!
Faust makes a deal with a demon, not to concerned with the price. Arthur also makes a deal with a demon (kayne) not to concerned of the price.
Faust seduce a beautiful and innocent young woman, usually named Gretchen, whose life is ultimately destroyed when she gives birth to Faust's illegitimate son. Realizing this unholy act, she drowns the child and is held for murder. I DONT THINK I NEED to talk about this much. The fact that Faroe died drowning, that Faroe was also concieved out of wedlock, that Bella's family is super religious. Also the fact that arthur was this close to destroying Bella's life and leaving her with the child, plays an INTERESTING paraell.
Faust is irrevocably corrupted and believes his sins cannot be forgiven; when the term ends, the Devil carries him off to Hell. Let's just refference all of Arthur's Nightmares and his breakdown after killing Uncle.
I do find this concept interesting because Arthur is heading to New York as Kayne desire, from what prophesies insit is to serve the order of the Fallen Star. If we follow Faustian folklore, it's likely that Arthur is entering a trap in which he's going to see the fine print of his deal, and find himself in servitude. Considering in the story, Mephistopheles (the devils representative) serves Faust with his powers until death, and then the roles reverse. I do find it interesting, considering John is essentially at Arthur's beck and call. Could his secret deal between John and Kayne have something to do with an act of servitude. Has he got something in it to protect himself ? John seems quite desperate to keep Arthur from death, seems more afraid of what waits for arrhur than himself. Something seemed to insist they wont end up in the same place. maybe he knows that the deals made will have Arthur enterally enslaved.
There is a slightly more modern interpretation in which Faust is saved by God via his constant attempts to be a good person. Who knows, maybe John could be his saving grace, and push him in the direction of freedom. Will the King in Yellow save Arthur from Kayne, does God save his follower from the devil?
These are interesting questions, that have me scared.
getting ready with the girrrlllss
part 1

Me to my potted plant: No exactly the odds were completely stacks against them but over and over when it came down to it they chose to forgive. John took so much from arthur, and arthur by his nature is not a particularly compassionate person once someone has crossed him and they did some truly horrible things to one another but they chose each other! And they chose to trust even when they knew better

Me: god I KNOW dont even get me started on Stopping by Winter Woods on a Snowy evening
Take the lyrics to a random pop song and make it into something said by Sinister Whispering Voices In The Shadows.

I finished malevolent within a week and shit this was so beautiful and im so traumatized now.
I MEAN I cried like...? 8 times???? Maybe 10???
Never cried over a media before so that was WEIRD. ESPECIALLY over a man lovingly holding his own f*cking hand.
I am 200% sexual and I love romance AND I’m a malevolent fan :) I don’t adopt the aro headcanon but totally supportive of the community who does. I’m 100% a shipper tho lol
i think almost every malevolent fan ik is some flavour of aro, so i'm curious to see how many of you arent :)
I don’t know about you, but I nominate Mr. Scratch as the scariest monster in Malevolent so far
