[ID: a two-panel comic of Arthur Lester from Malevolent. The background of the first panel consists of scribbled black strokes, on which John’s yellow dialogue is written. It is largely obscured by Arthur, but visible pieces say, “Oh, God, Arthur, they’ve skinned–” “Blood–” “Rotten–” In speech bubbles that further hide this text, Arthur is saying, “All right, that’s– JOHN, stop, that’s enough!”
In the second panel, Arthur has slapped his right hand firmly over his eyes. The black background has been reduced to a small, angry shape looming over Arthur’s shoulder, with slitted yellow eyes and a sharp-toothed open mouth. John is shouting, “HEY!” /end ID]
[ID: A traditional drawing of Arthur Lester from the chest up, portrayed in an animated gif followed by three stills of the gif frames. The drawing depicts Arthur as a midsized white man with disheveled dark hair that hangs over his face. He has a straight nose, eyebags, some stubble, and wears a brown button-up shirt, also disheveled. His face is pointed right at the viewer, his jaw slack in shock, as his eyes go entirely black. John is portrayed as a huge set of yellow teeth that circle Arthur entirely, as if about to devour him. Yellow drips from the maw of the teeth and from Arthur's shirt. Text frames the teeth, reading: "The King in Yellow". The gif fades from a bright version of the drawing to one bathed in shadows with only the outlines and text visible. End ID.]
yeah I'm still not over John speaking his (former) name for the first time, that changed the entire trajectory of my DNA. malevolent is SUCH a podcast <3
Can I offer you an Arthur Lester Prince Warin (ofc) sketch in this trying time?
[ID: A doodle page for the Malevolent podcast, featuring several sketches of Arthur, John, Kayne, The King in Yellow, and Yellow. More detailed description in ALT Text.]
Bringing y'all my mid-season 3 Malevolent arts because this podcast has a grip on me. Featuring my Kayne design because I have SOOO many thoughts about that freak <3 his voice sounds a bit similar to Arthur to me and so I thought it might be fun if he was mocking the lads by wearing Arthur's face. As of s3 we have no idea wtf Kayne is supposed to be, anyways, but altering his form doesn't seem to be a power that's off the table. Also the concept of John not recognizing Arthur's face on a happier, less scarred form makes me want to throw up :) hope this helps!
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)
I think they're pretty neat
You want a better story. Who wouldn’t?
[ID: A dark, monochrome digital sketch of Arthur Lester as he is bleeding out. Arthur is half-lying on the ground with his shirt off while John's shadowy humanoid figure holds him. Arthur's left hand is clenched with John's over a grievous stomach wound while John buries his entire face in Arthur's shoulder. Arthur is saying, "We've had worse," with a shaky smile, while John repeats "No no no no no no NO NO NO NO" with increasing emphasis. End ID] (ID from @genderfluid-druid)
[ID copied from ALT: The first image shows Kayne from Malevolent taking Sam Reich’s place on the game changer set behind the host podium. The set around him has splashes of blood. The second image shows Arthur Lester, leaning on a player podium on the set of Game Changer, looking off screen towards the host podium, looking haggard. John peeks over his shoulder. End ID.]
Now, you two understand how the game works?
No. Fuck off.
