Imagine John's Memory Gets So Bad That The Transcript Reverts Back To Calling Him "The Entity"

what truly gets me about the "in the next life you should come visit my library" scene is that it's specifically an answer to Phainon wanting to learn more about the kremnoan language. yes they're bickering but it's also about wanting to understand Mydei better. and Mydei really says "if the world was kinder to us i'd tell you more about me. if we had more time i'd let you closer"

arthur lester THE funniest horror protag. my guy finds himself partially possessed by an eldritch horror that wants to use him as a vessel for violence except 5 minutes in and said eldritch horror is the one trying to talk him down from murdering a man

I love when John bullies Arthur,, the losers <33

the evolution of john's reactions to arthur (almost) dying

exhibit A from episode 4: worried, but mostly put together

exhibit B from episode 9: oh, he's starting to lose it a little folks

and at last, exhibit C from episode 27: ah there it is folks, a complete WRECK of a guy

now if you'll excuse me i'll be weeping in a corner
