I have never been called out so hard
theres this pipeline from being a gravity falls fan as a kid to being a malevolent/tma fan as you grow older and im not even surprised by it. you guys had to enjoy nerdy weird shit when you were kids to enjoy whatever the fuck happens in these podcasts. me included. my fate was sealed when i saw bill cipher at age 10.
He seeeessss youuuuu
Thank you to all the TMA fans but I wanted to be clear, this isn’t Jon. It’s my OC named Malachi. I tag him with TMA bc that’s what he’s inspired by.
Been a while since I’ve done this so…what fears should I combine into an avatar? Top two will be chosen to be mixed. I’m going to take off the fears that have already been used. So far we’ve had:
- Vast/Spiral
- Vast/Buried
- Flesh/Dark
Oh I love this an ungodly amount
I don't owe you my heart
And I don't owe you my body
But you should know that I'm sorry
For being careless with you.
I actually use the Dark Arthur concept for my main AU (Chaotic Minds) and I view them similarly.
For those who don’t know, I created CM out of a “what if” where the story focuses on Dark Arthur and Kayne as a piece of Nyarlathotep that was severed instead of the KIY. Me and the others working on it have found that they play well into a “I love you so much that I want to devour you” type thing. They’re a bond forged by blood (as OP stated before), but they actively feed into each other. CM!Darthur cuts his arm off in a psychotic break related to his rejection of touch from Kayne. Their “loving touch” is more about biting and scratching, leaving marks to show their love. In the end, Arthur is much less human than they began.
I always love to see different interpretations of Darthur.
DARK!ARTHUR/JARTHUR RANT !!!!
i think dark!jarthurs are a bond made in blood. i mean, orig jarthurs killed people too, but they bonded in other way, through circumstance and love mostly, whichever kind of love it may be. dark!arthur didn’t want to depend on dark!john unlike og!arthur, he found him an even awful… -er being, he wanted him gone so much he cut his arm off. He was scared much more than og!arthur. but even if d!arthur resented d!john, they still were together. so they still got close and began understanding eachother more. they are like a poor old couple that doesn’t bicker, just sits together in a sad haze. neither of them wanted this, but they have this nonetheless. d!arthur is sorry for taking d!johns autonomy, in return, d!john is sorry for taking d!arthurs eyesight, even if it wasn’t voluntary. i don’t think they would have that much arguments as og!jarthurs, at least later in the story. d!arthur takes d!john as he is, and d!john understands that, and he wants to change, to be better because he cares for d!arthur. i think they would cooperate more than og!jarthurs, sorry…
all that is to say that dark!arthur would be more gentle to dark!yellow, if he would even exist in that universe
also i think that after d!john took over d!arthurs arm, he would immediately start calling it d!johns. not because he respects d!johns autonomy, but because he would be so repulsed by the fact that d!john has control over his arm, he would rather lose it. verbally and in mind, i mean.
I can tell! All of your work is amazing. I’m actually going to try to incorporate a few of the techniques I used for the study into my own pieces, especially the skin.
Hello! I just wanted to say that I recently found your art and fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I ended up doing an art study on your coloring style. Figured I’d show you!

The Vast (3/15) “The Neverland”
The Vast (3/15) “Neverland”
The Neverland is a creature which never touches the ground, having stayed in the sky for its entire being, though this does not mean it doesn’t come close to the ground as that is how it gets its victims. The Neverland uses its strong legs and massive talons to snatch up victims when they walk alone. It does not eat them right away, instead tossing and dropping them through the air, devouring their fear before they devour the flesh. It was also known for dive-bombing small planes, ski lifts and gondolas, anything small that moves through the air. When no hunting, it flies among the clouds, the distance from the ground and general silhouette allowing it to disguise itself as a bird. It is likely you have seen the creature but were lucky enough to not walk alone.
Good question! Sinner does not have any direct connection to Azathoth. Their godly abilities are based on the fact that they are part Nyarlathotep (the crawling chaos) and Arthur (the music part). The escapism comes from the idea that they fall into each other, abandoning reality for the ecstasy that is being a god.
Sinner redesign! I just wasn’t vibe with the original design so I kicked it up a notch to make these two!
For those who are unaware, Sinner is an entity for my Malevolent AU, Chaotic Minds. In this AU, instead of the focus being John and Arthur, it’s Kayne and Darthur. Arthur in this AU becomes LESS human, eventually leading to the two merging into one, becoming the god of chaos, music, and escapism, Sinner. Feel free to ask questions!
This is actually something I considered when designing my Manager.
Some things I kept in mind with my manager was to make sure he paralleled my Kayne. My Kayne can split his face apart as a “mouth”, so I knew my Manager would not allow it to open. He doesn’t want to be scary, to be a monster, so he will do anything to keep it closed, even stapling his face closed. I also wanted it to look like he’s slightly nervous, like his smile isn’t completely happy. I also wanted his teeth to look “perfect” like he’s too strict with himself.
The Manager is deeply restrictive of himself and I wanted that to come across in his design.
Did y'all hear how the Manager kept choking off his laughs every time they got too loud or too genuine, refusing to sound like Kayne? Did y'all hear how he kept suppressing pieces of his nature out of fear and shame, even if those pieces were full of joy or comfort? Did y'all hear how he kept rushing to kill the parts of himself that he hates?
