Six Of Pentacles: Giving And Generosity/giving Up Too Much

MINOR FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING!!

A short Lilith and Kayne animatic based on Part 52

I have. Feelings about them. Also baby Arthur

my favourite part of the wager is when kayne said “its wagerin time” and then wagered all over

my s2 rowan theory

okay i had an epiphany the other night about this. i've been analyzing venetian blind man (and the songs blue has on his offical rowan playlist, but that analysis isn't complete yet) recently, and there's one lyric i could never figure out.

"Lord knows I've said awful things 'round this house They echo through the frame and six feet down"

now this!! this is interesting!! let's take a look see at the "six feet down" part. who do we know that has died? no not that one. rowan's former co-counselor. and to further seal this?

"...last year, in a different weather-related incident, a counselor from Cabin Magpie Moth was tragically… destroyed." -FILE 3. The Squall of Prophecy.

and who predicts those weather incidents? rowan. and how does he communicate his predictions? by saying them to others. and by god i'm sure those predictions count as "awful things". and i may be looking too far into this, but the venetian blind man lyrics say "i've SAID awful things." past tense. it isn't him currently saying these things that have a fatal effect, but rather he's said them and the fatality has already happened.

another tidbit that could be unrelated is this line

"Well, campers returning from last summer will remember what happened last time we ignored one of Rowan's forecasts." -FILE 2. The End of the Squall.

could rowan have predicted something so awful that it killed his own co-counselor?

It’s Arthur’s birthday, what could go wrong?

Tried to do some lighting and shading :)

Image description under cut

[ID:

A drawing of Arthur and John, with a birthday cake on a table in front of them. Arthur is leaning away from the table, startled, with his arm raised to shield his face. He has short auburn hair, yellowish eyes, and a small moustache. He wears a white shirt, brown suspenders and medium brown pants. There is a scar on the corner of his right eye, and his left hand’s pinkie is partially missing, leaving a dark, stick-like protrusion in its place.

John is behind him, and also leaning back, shocked. He is shrouded in a yellow cloak, with yellow eyes and grey sheep horns protruding from his hood.

In front of them, a cake sits of a plate, with a column of fire shooting from the three birthday cake candles. The cake is pale pink.

Got to participate in another Malevolent zine! I tried something new again, I did a lanyard design and a notepad design. :)

Arthur for the love of GOD do not drink that shit oh my godd can we get Yorick in the chat to talk some sense into this guy

ep 50 save me

I’ve heard so much about this episode and I finally got to the bit!

..damn

On one hand, I think the Arthur Lester hate is so fucking valid. We’ve seen what he’s done in the past, the pain he’s put people through, the decisions he has made. *He* knows how horrible he was, and is. But I’m so curious how much people think he should suffer to make up for it. This man has been to hell and back and gone through things that would make anyone snap, and he just keeps going — to say that Arthur hasn’t suffered enough for his mistakes is an interesting thought. Even he hasn’t forgiven himself fully, and I don’t think he ever will. I guess I can’t really get on the “I hate Arthur Lester as a character” train like I see a lot of people doing — Has he fucked up incredibly? Fuck yeah he has. Is he irredeemable? I don’t think so- and I think that’s a very Malevolent message - no one is irredeemable or undeserving of forgiveness.

This is a lot of nonsensical rambling I’m not too sure what the point I’m trying to make is other than I get a little tired of the constant “Arthur Lester is a shit protagonist” discourse. He’s not MEANT to be perfect, or even someone you need to root for 100% of the time, if you want that in a protagonist I’m sure you can go somewhere else rather than complaining about him every episode 😭
