"In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me."

Single layer version for clarity sake<3

To go alongside my John thoughts, I also can't stop thinking about Arthur.

You love him, you lose him, you get him back, but not before mistreating a version of him that you don't recognize, one that isn't perfect, one that isn't right. You nearly die in front of him. Again. You escape. You leave. And at the crossroads, he asks you to trust him.

You know he is lying to you, but you trust him.

You gain friends, more people than you've spoken to in, what? Weeks? Months? Entire years? He pushes you away from them all, some more violently than others. He tries to kill one and doesn't even realize it. You give him another chance. You give him what he asks for. You let him feel seen.

And he is still lying to you. You realize later, it's with good reason. He's told you the horrors of that place, you cannot judge him for wanting to escape at any cost, and it would be hypocritical to judge him for dealing with the devil when you were the first to shake his hand.

You would have forgiven him that. Easily. You trust him.

But he doesn't trust you.

He asks for your memory to be taken. For revelations to be obscured, for you, who has spent this entire journey driven by the insatiable urge to seek, to find, to know, to forget. Because he does not trust that you can find him redeemable.

OMG OMG GUYS! INTERMEZZO IS OUT! I AM SO EXCITED!!! EVERYONE GO REACT TO IT! I WANNA SEEEEEE

I didn't listen to Q&A yet but judging by the reactions Malevolent went about the following way:

Harlan: I'll make an evil entity posess this guy and sprinkle some curiosity and other stuff onto it just for funsies

The audience: LOVES John

Harlan: Ok this didn't go according to plan... No idea why they love him so much but fine, he's not ending up as a villain, let's explore another route. BUT I'll make ANOTHER, properly evil John, they'll sure won't be able to stand him!

*adds A LOT of genuinly sympathetic stuff to the character*

The audience: YELLOW IS UNDER OUR PROTECTION HE'S OUR CHILD *loves Yellow probably even more fiercely*

Harlan: The f-... WHAT am I doing wrong???

(Jk I'm pretty confident at this point the guy knows exactly what he's doing 👍 But he also writes Kayne the ultimate troll and that's a thing to remember)

John: You can’t see this but you have the cold calculated demeanor of someone not to fuck with.

The Arthur I’ve already imagine in my head: 

‘Oh my god, Arthur…I see it…the eye…there is a creature of unfathomable size down here.’

Finally finished my Malevolent fanart I’ve been working on for weeks now, on and off. I really wanted to capture the scale and horror of this bit, and decided to do it in greyscale and work on my values.

Credit to @unseeleigh for the idea but as soon as I saw the post I was like so true. Anyway return of Kayne’s heart shaped sunglasses.

If you're a character in a horror piece of media and you come across someone named John you might be entitled to finantial compensation.
