"I am Youssef, an 18-year-old young man, and my dreams and hopes vanished in an instant. My family’s house in Khan Yunis was destroyed, and I found myself and my family living in a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah, under the scorching sun, inside a tent swaying in the wind. I wake up every morning to the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, but they no longer mean anything to me—they only remind me of the freedom we lost and the life we once had..."
Hello everyone! As of writing this, Youssef is at $3,877 out of his EXTREMELY ACHIEVABLE $15,000 goal. He has only gotten eight don@tions in the past day. Youssef is asking for $15,000 to support himself and his family, mainly for medicine, shelter, and food, which are hellishly scarce as a manifestation of Israel's genocide. He is only 18 and he is responsible for his family's SURVIVAL. Please take the time to read Youssef's own words on his GFM page, as well as on his tumblr account, @yousefjehad3 . Read them, stare at them, process them. Let them truly sink in. Then, go to his fundr@iser and DON@TE. Every single coin you can spare counts, because everyone's small contributions will snowball into a massive one. None of these fundr@isers reached their goal because of one loaded don0r. It was always a group effort.
And, whether or not you're able to d0nate - SHARE, with your family, your friends, your groupchats, your tumblr followers, so that someone who can will have the chance to see it! If you are on Tumblr, you are able to reblog.
Don't ever think your contributions are useless. They provide material help and are expressions of care during impossibly dire times. Palestinians quantifiably cannot afford your apathy.
Youssef's GFM is vetted. He is shown on line 255 on the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundr@iser List by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.
(btw, I've heard that it's not a good idea to tag posts like this with terms such as correctly-spelled 'don@tions,' which is why I'm spelling things as such. I encourage you to refrain from tagging your reblogs with these terms just in case..)
“Arthur” John’s warm soft voice echoed into the ragged depths of Arthur’s broken soul, soothing scars and promising that which he had long denied himself being worthy of: love.
Image description: There is a single black and white digital illustration of Arthur and John. Arthur is standing facing forward his head raised, expression relaxed and smiling every so slightly, eyes closed. John is standing close behind him, so close his cloak is draped around Arthur’s shoulders. His left arm is curved around Arthur’s shoulder and he is cradling Arthur’s jaw in the palm of his hand. He is kissing Arthur’s crown eyes looking down fondly.
[VD: A small roughly animated gif of Arthur Lester, initially neutral and standing. John's hand then reaches for his face and abruptly grabs him by the cheeks, pulling him forward, and then pressing his palm against Arthur's lips in a kiss. A little heart fizzles above the kiss. As John starts to pull his hand away, Arthur catches it and holds it closer to his face. Another heart fizzles above the kiss as John's fingers press into Arthur's cheek. Arthur is drawn in blue lineart with gold eyes, and John is drawn with black lineart to distinguish the two. End ID.]

The spark of every fireplace
“Are you ok?”
“I’m having difficulty John”
Image Description: there is a single digital illustration of an exhausted and coughing Arthur slumped forward against a wall. His body is supported against the wall by his right arm, his feverish forehead leaning against his right forearm. John’s hand is resting in the hollow of his throat, his fingers touching Arthur’s neck gently.
another malevolent (inspired) piece
[ID: Several black and white digital drawings depicting Arthur, John, and Noel. Arthur is drawn as a skinny man with light hair, Noel is drawn as a more muscular man with darker skin and hair, and John is depicted as a grey cloaked figure with long dark hair, a large light eye, and light eyelashes.
1. Arthur sits at a table, his forehead braced on his steepled hands in embarassment as John leans over his shoulder, wide eyed and says: "Arthur!!! Tell Noel I like it when he calls us doll." When Arthur does not respond: "Arthur? Oarthur listen to me-!!!"
2. A different scene where Arthur leans in to grab Noel's face and kisses him. Noel appears surprised. John narrates: "yes Arthur YES you did it Orthur‐ hehe his face is kinda funny this close." We see a doodle of John's POV, which is Noel at a 0.5 angle from right above, emphasizing his eyes and nose and minimizing his chin.
3. Arthur by himself. He brings John's hand to his face and kisses it sweetly. John's wooden pinky rests on his cheek.
4. Noel brings John's hand to his mouth, bows his head, and kisses it gentlemanly.
5. Arthur and Noel naked in bed, their waists covered by a bedsheet. Arthur lays still, expression furrowed as he says: "I can't believe this is my life now." Noel responds: "idk doll, not the weirdest thing to happen to me this week." Noel is comfortably reclining and smoking. John has his left leg thrown over Noel's and his left hand curled up under his arm and over his shoulder. Little black hearts hover over where he clings. End ID.]
They are so normal I love them
[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. End ID.]
What a year huh
But orthur!!!!
[ID: A digital painting of Arthur in Castle Kerringford, drawn like a cover for Clue the boardgame. The painting shows Arthur standing by the common room's fire with Barnabas, as the background is overlayed with a map of the castle, showing "the hall", "the library", and "the chapel". Overtop the painting lay two dice, a ring, and two cards: one for 'the chapel', depicting a crucifixion, and one for 'the dagger' depicting a dagger. At the top of the painting is written: "The Castle" in a Clue-like font.
Details and character design: Arthur is a lean white man with stubble, scars, and yellow eyes. He wears medieval clothes the Prince's armor, and gloves. He has a skeptical look as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and his left hand rests on his chest. Barnabas is pale with dark eyes and hair, and wears a fur coat. He holds a tankard and eyes Arthur with suspicion. End ID.]
Mr. ______, in the Chapel, with the Dagger
The end of 2022 severely kicked my ass health-wise, so I decided to start the new year off by binging a podcast. And uhhhh Malevolent is really good you guys 👀
direct action
[ID: a two-panel comic of Arthur Lester from Malevolent. The background of the first panel consists of scribbled black strokes, on which John’s yellow dialogue is written. It is largely obscured by Arthur, but visible pieces say, “Oh, God, Arthur, they’ve skinned–” “Blood–” “Rotten–” In speech bubbles that further hide this text, Arthur is saying, “All right, that’s– JOHN, stop, that’s enough!”
In the second panel, Arthur has slapped his right hand firmly over his eyes. The black background has been reduced to a small, angry shape looming over Arthur’s shoulder, with slitted yellow eyes and a sharp-toothed open mouth. John is shouting, “HEY!” /end ID]
Finished now:) yippeeee
[ID: traditional art in ink and water color pencil, depicting Arthur Lester and John Doe from Malevolent. John is wrapped around Arthur in a way that makes it unclear where one man stops and the other begins, flowing together, and their shared arm is held in a position where it could be attached to either of their bodies. John's right arm is around Arthur's shoulder and chest, so that his hand is guarding Arthur's lower face and neck. His head is very close, and he may be whispering to Arthur or kissing him on the cheek; it's unclear, since he has no mouth. Arthur is leaning back into him, resting his head on John's arm, and gently holding the wrist of their arm. His eyes are closed and he appears anguished, with a tear sliding down his cheek. John's expression mirrors his. John himself is a deep purple in color, and is cloaked in a fiery yellow. He appears to have a glow to him, as everywhere they touch has Arthur bathed in warm light. They are enveloped in dark grey, which itself is haloed by a pale yellow. This same pale yellow extends down to back a single line of text: And many miles to go before I sleep. END ID.]
I may be an Arthur enjoyer however i am always thinking about Yellow. Artie get it together.
Arthur and John in Dreamlands, a first piece about the new obsession, the Malevolent podcast. My life's still at the "horror is my comfort genre because the reality is worse anyway" level, and these two are keeping me sane, as wild as it sounds. And the beautiful picasso jasper with desert-like pattern
My first fanart of ✨them✨

Nonverbal communication :0
Finished season one of malevolent
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 💛
it is. done.
Do not fear the dark, fear what darkness brings
Some tragic eldritch gays for you, as a treat
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]
