i was bored

image id: a pen drawing of Arthur lester and john doe. Arthur is walking down the street next to a brick wall. the collar of his long coat covers the bottom of his face. his hands are in the coats pockets. the light coming from the direction of the viewer casts a sharp shadow on the ground that morphs into johns silhouette. he is a dark shape, vaguely person shaped, with long hair and a white mask. the ends of his hair curl up like flames. John looms over Arthur, his mask is looking down at him. the pattern of the bricks continues behind John. end image id.

guess what i just started listening to

you want to listen to malevolent podcast so bad (also please no spoilers in the tags im only on 22 episode rn)

[ID: A digital drawing of "mossy-rainfrog's Malevolent season 4 boys", featuring a spread of designs from the bust up of various characters: Larson, Oscar, Noel, and John and Arthur.

Larson is a thin, white man with green eyes, brown-blond hair and a handlebar mustache. He has his chin tipped up and grins cruelly as he looks down, saying "Well, well." He is wearing a red suit with a purple tie. Oscar is a midsized, light skinned Black man with short, curly red hair, a goatee, and freckles. He looks right at the viewer with downturned brown eyes and an earnest, sad expression. He wears priest garments and has a cross necklace. Detective Noel is a skinny, older white man with tanned skin, greying dark hair, and dark eyes. He wears a gray hat and a gray suit with a brown tie. His mouth is set in a hard line and he looks suspiciously off to the side.

Arthur is a stout white man with short disheveled brown hair and various scars, including a scar across his throat. He has gold, unfocused eyes, and wears a brown vest over a yellow tie. John is looming over his shoulder, slightly obscured by Arthur in front of him. John is portrayed as a humanoid monstrous figure with a cracked pallid mask for part of his face. Beneath the mask and his golden-yellow hooded robe, his skin is empty blackness. The characters are all drawn against a maroon background. End ID.]

some doodles before I finish ep 40 and inevitably die a thousand deaths. I really like my designs of these guys tbh I think they're fun! I like Larson being unsettlingly young-looking and just the absolute worst. I also think Noel deserves to be old and Oscar deserves to be so kissable💘💘💘💘. also shout out to john who is pookie and my favorite jealous bitch 💛 i love podcast 💛

unconditional love.

it is. done.

Do not fear the dark, fear what darkness brings

Some tragic eldritch gays for you, as a treat

Back on track

John hasn't known peace since Arthur figured out that the heart candies fit perfectly between his horns... Happy Valentines!

ID below cut

[ID: A painting of small creature John. He's depicted as a mostly amorphous blob with a vague animal shape with ripples of smoke around him, four small horns, bright gold eyes and marble like markings, with his left large horn being broken off. John looks slightly disgruntled and annoyed. On his head is a pink candy sweetheart with "You & Me" in red on it. It fits perfectly between all of his horns. /End ID]

[ID copied from ALT: Arthur Lester, a man with short, curly, brown hair, a thin mustache, the top part of his right ear missing, and visible scars next to his right eye and on his neck, stands on a dark corridor, holding up a lighter with his left hand, facing towards the viewer. He is wearing a dark blue pinstripe three-piece suit, a muted red tie, and a long brown coat. The corridor he is standing in is dark and tilted strangely to the right. At the end of the corridor behind Arthur there's a door hanging slightly open, with bright red light spilling out through the crack. On the wall to Arthur's left there are two framed silhouette portraits of two young women facing each other. A swirling dark mass filled with eyes and grinning teeth that seems to be coming out of the crack in the door is clinging on the ceiling and spilling down the wall towards the two portraits. On the wall to Arthur's right there is a dark shadow that seems to be cast by him, looming tall with two shiny yellow pinpricks of light positioned as its eyes. Right against the shadow's elbow there is a dusty mirror, and reflected on it is an arm clothed in tattered yellow robes, ending on a dark inhuman hand holding a lighter, mirroring Arthur's left arm. End ID.]

Neglected to post this earlier because of life stuff going on, but belatedly here's my piece for the @malevolent-fanzine, inspired by the early episodes of season 4 and the boarding house.

[ID copied from ALT: Arthur and John standing in front of a lancet window, pictured from the waist up. Arthur is wearing a henley undershirt, suspenders, and slacks. John is portrayed as a tall, dark, skeletal figure with a cracked white mask. His left forearm is attached via stitches. Both figures are slightly turned away from one another. Arthur's hand is over John's mouth while John's hand is over Arthur's eyes. The piece is colored in shades of yellow. End ID.]

yknow that post about there not being enough art of Arthur covering John's mouth

i have spent many hours thinking about the complexities of bella and arthur’s relationship and i’ve come to the conclusion that they were close friends who messed around when they absolutely should not have and that messed everything up

Unprotected sex turns you blind

[ID: A digital drawing of Oscar from Malevolent from the shoulders up. He is portrayed as a light-skinned Black man with short, coily red hair and a goatee. He has dark brown eyes, freckles over his cheeks and nose, and a scar over his right eyebrow. He is wearing priest garb and a cross necklace, and turns to look to the side with a wide-eyed, somber expression as his clothes and necklace billow with the movement. Around his head is a crude halo draw in in gold, End ID.]

So I finished episode 12 of Malevolent

You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love) / Malevolent by Harlan Guthrie

A compilation of the Malevolent fandom being completely normal about Arthur taking his shirt off.

[ID copied from ALT: a digital painting of arthur, wearing a warm orange coat and standing in front of a snowy, mountainy background. his hands are behind his back, index fingers hooked around each other. End ID.]

the inherent eroticism of hands

[ID: Pen-on-paper fanart of Jon Sims from The Magnus Archives and Arthur Lester from Malevolent Podcast. Each of them holds a cup of ice cream while discussing about something. There are arrows coming from them, pointing at the same text that says "talking about emulsifier." End ID]

they're having rum raisins

[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

[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

[ID copied from ALT: a digital illustration of Arthur Lester standing in the rain. he looks upset. John, manifesting part of his crown and seeming to grow larger, lifts his hand and looks at it while shadowy claws appear. he says "I have more... options." Arthur and John are connected by golden thread around the neck and left hand.

A digital illustration of Arthur Lester and John Doe with Alexander the owl. Arthur is laughing and smiling with his head falling back. John looks embarrassed. Alexander stands neutrally on a wooden beam. He is a large horned owl with big yellow eyes, staring at the pair. John and Arthur are connected by loose gold threads around their necks. End ID.]

A malevolent entity realizing he can gain more autonomy by threatening yours-> he does not know what an owl is

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

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 is a digital drawing of Arthur and Oscar from malevolent. Arthur looks uncomfortable, and John is partially hiding behind him. Oscar is looking at him and speaking seriously. a text post below them reads "Idk what you did but god is pissed"

Next is a digital drawing of Charlie dowd from malevolent. he looks thoughtful and slightly uncomfortable, and has a thought bubble filled with images of the king in yellow and John in his manifested form. a text post below him reads guy who gets home from being held hostage by another guy and the first thing he does is google "I think I like men"

Next is a digital drawing of the King in Yellow, John, and Arthur. The king is holding Arthur in his tentacles, and Arthur is arching his back with his hand up to his head in a damsel pose. his mouth is open to imply he is moaning. both John and the king look uncomfortable, and John is blushing. a text post below them reads (getting torn asunder but I can't stop moaning so it gets weird).

Finally is a digital drawing of John and Kayne. John looks embarrassed as Kayne smiles and holds up a photo of Arthur crying. he points to it, and says the first part of a text post that reads "is this your man" the post continues to read shows an image of a malnourished injured exhausted man with big sad eyes looking up at the camera with blood smeared all over his face and mouth. and he is visibly trembling. End ID.]

Some sillies

(Yes I did change how I draw Oscar cause I liked @potato-lord-but-not’s design so much ok ok)

[ID copied from ALT: a digital drawing of Arthur and Kayne from Malevolent. the two are drawn as busts standing in the rain. the drawing is monochromatic, with the only color being the gold of Arthur's eyes and the red of Kayne's pupils. Arthur looks angry and slightly scared. Kayne is looking away from him, shrugging, with a manic grin as he says "you've lost your mind and almost lost you life before..."

a digital drawing in the same style as the previous image. Kayne is now gripping Arthur's face, pulling it towards him, so that they are eye to eye. his bloody hands leave a mark on Arthur. his expression now serious, he says "so you'll be fine". End ID.]

If they were going to get you boy, they would have by now

[ID copied from ALT with Author's Notes removed: Animated gif of arthur in profile holding a flickering lighter, as the light shifts images of john appear in the background, one in profile and one facing the lighter. End ID.]

[ID of the photos under the cut, copied from ALT: arthur and john in profile, john is portrayed as long yellow cloak stretching ominously far forwards with subtle black shapes writhing out underneath 

the same image only now john has rotated to face the viewer/lighter, the cloak is empty save for two luminously glowing yellow pinpricks, dark shapes mimicking mandibles and tentacles spill from under the hood and blend black into the background. End ID.]

It's dark Arthur, pull out your lighter.

(practically I know john is most easily portrayed as a normal hooded guy with a mask but deep down my heart of hearts still belongs to mergo's wet nurse)

[ID: A digital drawing of Arthur Lester pulling a human John in by the tie, bringing their faces close together and grinning confidently down at him. John appears to be leaning back on a surface, and looks up at Arthur with a surprised, flushed expression. Sparkles float around their heads.

Character designs: Arthur is a lean white man with short blond hair, and he wears a brown suit with a dark yellow tie. John is a lean brown man with mid-length dark hair. He wears a patterned yellow suit with floral designs over a dress shirt and black tie. End ID.]
