[ID: A digital drawing colored in a style with thin, textured, sketchy lines. It depicts Arthur and John sat at a piano, visible from the chest up while Arthur plays, and John has his head tucked over his shoulder. Arthur sings in cursive script: "I really can't stay..." and John sings along in all caps: "But Orthur it's cold outside!!!" "I've got to go away..." (in even bigger text, being cut off by John's shoulder: "But Orthur it's cold outside!!!"
The drawing under the cut is a small, sketchy doodle of John's full body. He has six arms and two legs outstretched beneath his yellow cloak, his eyes wide, and he has a santa hat. He says "but ORTHUR!"
Character designs: Arthur is a thin white man with blond hair, a scarred right eye, and a thin mustache. He wears a sweater with a Christmas tree. John is a humanoid, grey-skinned entity with long curly hair falling from his yellow cloak. His face has limited features, but his eyes are yellow half moons that trace lines of gold down his face.

But orthur!!!!
"My heart is beating, It keeps repeating for you constantly. You're all I'm needing And so I'm pleading, Please come back to me."
There’s only a shadow of me; in a matter of speaking, I'm dead
Because of that last anon here’s my jarthur moodboard

i started listening to malevolent and john getting pissed off at arthur's lack of self preservation never stops being funny
[ID copied from ALT: a digital illustration of Arthur and John from part 43. Arthur is slumped again a stone wall, blood coming from his stomach wound and mouth. John is a shadow over his shoulder, angrily looking at someone offscreen. a partial crown has grown from his head. he holds his hand near Arthur's wound, trying and failing to stop the blood
2: a loose sketch showing John from part 43. John, shadowy but taking on more of his king aspects, takes on a pleading position over Arthur's unconscious body as he says 'ok wait hold on hear me out' to the witch, who stands mostly offscreen but holds a sharp dagger covered in bugs in full view.
3: a furious John manifests and erupts from Arthur's chest. he is large and monstrous, his masked face lifting to roar at the witch, showing off teeth and three tongues. Arthur's eyes are fully golden and tearful. threads still surround Arthur and John. the witch, an older women dressed in furs and a tattered dress, holds a bloody knife and looks up at John unimpressed.
4: a sketch of Arthur coming back to life. his back arches painfully off of a stone table as his eyes snap open, and he releases a long scream into the dark room. End ID.]
So you want to make the decisions for once. Good luck with that.
Tip Jar
Bonus under the cut
Come closer
[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
lots of malevolent art and concepts around John covering Arthur's eyes and that's good, great even, a major theme of the podcast in fact. but not nearly enough art of Arthur covering John's mouth.
