This one reads like a comedy

A fragment of The King in Yellow, and a companion piece to this one (the kind feedback on it made my month, seriously, thank you) 💛

I’m considering making a small batch of prints of both of them, wanted to gauge interest first, though.

Some progress pics under the cut from before the colored pencil layer:

The colored pencils do most of the work, the marker is just there as a guideline/to avoid the white of the paper showing through.

So real I am gnawing on it like a chew toy

So it’s official guys… the Malevolent hyperfixation has reached the red zone…. haven’t hyperfixated this bad since the reawakening of my Homestuck hyperfixation in 2019.

we are at the point where my brain is trying to find any excuse to connect Malevolent to literally anything i am doing and it just keeps getting worse. I am gonna start relistening to it and taking in depth notes pretty soon

"Jonathan Sims couldn't do Malevolent" "Arthur Lester would kill Jonathan Sims with a rock" Correct but. You know who could do Malevolent? Martin Blackwood. Martin Blackwood would rizz up every eldritch being in Malevolent like he did with everyone at that stupid little institute.

I Died For You [A Malevolent Animatic]

Voice acting and audio by @malevolentcast , who very generously sent me this audio file to use for this animatic. Thank you for creating such a beautiful show.

Background and details under cut

I began this animatic early last year after finding the audio on TikTok. Once I heard it, I was immediately struck with the thought of how those first couple of weeks in the Dark World would be for John immediately after Season 2. It seemed perfectly fitting, how John might be tortured by his guilt and uncertainty if Arthur was even still alive, and that torment would only aid his regression to his more… Kingly qualities.

I began to draft the thumbnails of the animatic in my sketchbook before transferring it to my digital workspace, which was incredibly intimidating at the time. This was my first independent animatic. In last year’s InvictusCon, Harlan popped into my stream as I was explaining my animatic thought process to my viewers, shaking with both excitement and terror. I was stunned when he offered to voice it himself. The next day, he sent me the audio file. To this day, I am still stunned he spent so much time and effort to create something. It was the encouragement I needed to finish a longer-form animatic. It may be only a minute and some change, but this is a whole year of my life condensed - my obsession, my adoration, my passion for not only this podcast but for art in general, both visual and audio.

It’s by happy accident that I finished this right at the cusp of the Season 5 finale. It almost perfectly slots in. So… let’s all pretend that this animatic took me a month to do rather than the year I spent sweating on my couch and complaining about the number of times I forgot Arthur’s wooden finger.

I’m SO obsessed with the implications at the end of Da Capo.

What did The Manager mean when he spoke to the unknown You. Is it Us? Is he talking to us?? O feel like the implication here is not only that he knows that we are an entity tagging along, but that he knows that we (or in this case, the Patreon users) are the ones influencing his decisions. We are inextricably tied to Arthur and the choices he makes and he’s cautioning us to work WITH him on this because ultimately WE are making his decisions whether he knows/wants it or not.

Also that last line mmmmmmmm oh boy that last line implies that not only have Arthur and John gone through this before, but so have we. WE have directed their decisions before, and WE are the reason they’ve failed in the past. WE need to not fuck it up this time or it’s reality on the line. Ooooh Mr Harlan Guthrie you’ve really done it now I’m not going to be normal about this

Malevolent 6th listen is calling to me... (I finished literally 2 days ago the earworms are not leaving me alone)

Malevolent Intermezzo Spoilers!

John: Our friendship is the most important thing that has and will ever happen to me. You are precious. I’ve watched you suffer through so much pain that to watch you experience more, let alone by my hand, is unthinkable. Every action I take is to get us closer to a life where we can live in peace and where we’ll be on equal standing with each other. If you knew the things I’ve had to do to get us there, and if you loved me less because of it, I’d die. 

What he says: Do it. 

Arthur: You have transformed from a thing I fear to a thing I trust. The pain it took to earn that trust makes it all the more excruciating when it is broken. You are still learning gentleness and selflessness and compromise. I am aware of how hard it is to learn these things for the first time. I am a father. But as hardened as I am, I am human and fragile and you cannot keeps depending on my capacity for forgiveness to get what you want. 

What he says: You fucking villain

House stealing Wilson's food P1

P2

S1

1x20 Nothing in s1, so have them sharing nuts (?)

S2

2x4 Stole a chip from Wilson's plate to avoid paying for something other than a salad (hiding steak)

2x6 Steals Wilson's crisps ("Is there a light that goes on when I have food?") (He also steals apple pie from Mark but Mark isn't Wilson)

2x15 Not stealing but Wilson offers him some of his dinner

Wilson's pancakes - unsure if stolen but he's got the whole tub so probably ("They're amaaazing")

Wilson's salad

Wilson's sandwhich

2x16 Wilson's orange juice (Which Wilson just takes back: slobber and all)

2x23 notices food | thwarted

twice

is given food anyway

S3

3x6 Stealing the tomatoes from Wilson's salad (Wilson also goes to stab one only to leave it, I like to think on purpose)

3x9 Steals half of Wilson's sandwich even though Wilson can't afford cafeteria food bell end

3x14 Another sandwich lost to this vicious war (returned after one bite though)

3x19 Another fry. Although Wilson did offer to get him to shut up. Also he didn't eat it during the scene.

3x20 Steals his coffee, then complains

S4

4X2 Stole Wilson's bagel (weirdly enough, the half eaten one for once?) and then threw it in his coffee

Stole more coffee

4x6 Wilson's lunch

4x12 Okay, not Wilson, but stole Amber's drink, which Wilson did nothing to stop btw and didn't even blink at. Wilson probably swapped the drink around so he had the brat contaminated one.

(Rather predictably, House's head/Wilson's heart did not have anything. Although probably for the best, House already stole Wilson's girlfriend (I do not believe this, but it is funny), he didn't need to add insult to injury by stealing his food too.)
