[ID Copied From ALT: The First Image Shows Kayne From Malevolent Taking Sam Reich’s Place On The Game

The end of 2022 severely kicked my ass health-wise, so I decided to start the new year off by binging a podcast. And uhhhh Malevolent is really good you guys 👀

sketching how i envisioned detective noel - he seems really cool and im excited to learn more about him. also why is malevolent becoming the arthur lester dating sim🤨

[Start ID: Two orange colored sketches of Detective Noel from Malevolent. Noel is a slim man with tired eyes and freckles. He has a couple stray beard hairs but is otherwise clean shaven. His hair is cut short and parted to the side, obscured by a hat in the right image. He wears a 1930's jacket, white shirt, and tie. In the right image, he is seen from the shoulders up, looks bored and says, "...right...". In the left image, he is seen from the chest up and smirks slightly with a cigarette in his mouth and his hat by his chest. He says, "You can buy me a coffee". A large arrow points to the dialogue bubble with GAY? because the artist thought this was a gay thing for a man to say to another man. ENd ID.]

hi guys , i drew the scene. horrified by hearing him mad. [despite the 12 kaynes on this page i am actually his #1 hater]

when I first joined the Malevolent official discord in April 2021, there were some goofs being made about fanfiction and I made a quip about tender hand holding. HG send me this file the very next day.

Transcript:

Arthur: I- I don't understand- John: I want you to hold my hand, Arthur. Arthur: Okay! John: Tenderly. (Music starts playing) Arthur: All right. John: How does it...how does it make you feel? Arthur: It's...nice. I quite like it. John: Me too. (dramatic clang sound effect, music fades out)

[ID copied from ALT: A painterly digital illustration of Arthur and John from malevolent. John appears as a large black cloud, engulfing Arthur's body. shadowy arms wrap around Arthur as the head of the shadow leans into Arthur to kiss him. the background is a dreamlike mix of yellow blue and grey. End ID.]

We’ve all seen that one painting, right. Right.

(Study of The shadow by Daniela Astone)

[ID copied from ALT: A digital drawing of Arthur Lester, done in shades of green, orange, and yellow. He is running, his expression panic-stricken, a yellow cloak in tatters clinging onto him. In the background there is a tilted mirror, John Doe shown in the reflection behind Arthur. The background contains elements of fire, abstract smoke, and stylized stars. Faintly visible in the mirror are the outlines of dozens and dozens of hands, reaching out. The second photo is the same drawing, zoomed in. End ID.]

gotta get to the bottom of this!!!

[ID: Pencil-on-paper fanart of Arthur Lester from Malevolent Podcast. He's touching his mustache while smiling smugly. End ID]

its all the rage

we talked about john wearing lipstick and leaving a kissy mark on arthur's forehead - he probably got the idea from a movie watching the female lead leave a lipstick mark on the male lead (i think he would get many ideas about how humans act from movies 🤭)((i also think he enjoys embarrassing arthur above anything else))

[Start ID: Two sketches of John and Arthur from Malevolent. Arthur is a stout man with styled back, dark hair, only one spit curl in the middle, and a mustache. He's wearing a coat with large lapels, a simple collared shirt, and a short tie. John is a very tall human with dark, curled hair, and pronounced cheekbones. He wears a headscarf tied underneath his chin and has 1930's styled makeup with dark eyeshadow, pencil thin eyebrows, and bright red lipstick. He's also wearing a fur lined coat with fur at the lapels and fur at the sleeve ends, as well as gloves. His fingers are drawn sharp, even while wearing gloves. In the first sketch, John leans down and kisses Arthur gently on the forehead, cradling his face with one hand. He says, "Thank you, Arthur". Arthur lets himself be leaned into the kiss, closing one eye on the side that's towards John, the other open with slight surprise. He has a small blush on his face and a stray hair has gone up to show his surprise. In the second sketch, Arthur looks blankly forward with a large blush on his face, up to his ears, and a prominent red lipstick mark on his forehead. Beside him, John is represented by a simplified head and laughs "Pft-" with an amused, fanged smile and a small blush. End ID.]

Shitty Arthur Lester aesthetic: everyone always wants to be the narrative's favourite until it turns out that this is actually not a good thing for them. this goes double for when the narrative is lovecraftian in nature. guess what buddy there is yet more plot coming your way and it's in the form of tentacles, cults, and intestines
