Because of that last anon here’s my jarthur moodboard
Arthur: I have decided to finally trust you with my life's greatest secret and guilt, and in my vulnerability, you have seen me and understood me. Thank you for being kind to me in my moment of need. I have never called you friend before and so I shall do so now. I trust you, my friend.
John: Cringe. Ratio. Plus beating you to death beating you to death beating you to death beating you to d
[ID copied from ALT: Arthur and John standing in front of a lancet window, pictured from the waist up. Arthur is wearing a henley undershirt, suspenders, and slacks. John is portrayed as a tall, dark, skeletal figure with a cracked white mask. His left forearm is attached via stitches. Both figures are slightly turned away from one another. Arthur's hand is over John's mouth while John's hand is over Arthur's eyes. The piece is colored in shades of yellow. End ID.]
yknow that post about there not being enough art of Arthur covering John's mouth
“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.
[ID: Several drawings of Arthur Lester and John Doe from Malevolent kissing with their shared hand, and a picture of John and Yellow's designs. Arthur is portrayed as a midsized white man with short, disheveled brown hair that is hanging partially over his face. John is portrayed as a humanoid monstrous figure with a cracked pallid mask for part of his face, as well as three small black horns on the side of the mask. The mask is broken diagonally, and beneath it, there is a large diagonal maw of sharp teeth against pitch-black skin. He wears a golden-yellow hooded robe.
In the first drawing, Arthur stands, head cocked gently to the side as John uses their shared hand to hold Arthur's chin and press his thumb against Arthur's lips. Arthur holds the elbow of the arm with his other hand. On the other side of the hand, John leans in to press his teeth to the back of his own hand, as if they were touching mouths. The folds of John's cloak are translucent over the arm they share. In the second drawing, John has tipped Arthur's head back further, and is pressing against him harder. Arthur's mouth is open, as is John's, revealing more sharp teeth. Arthur pulls the hand closer by the wrist.
The final drawing shows John's design as a full body, alongside a design of Yellow. In this one, John's hand is his own, and he holds it to his chest. The base of his robe separates into tentacle-like strips of fabric. Yellow is a similarly humanoid figure with a yellow hood, but his mask is the opposite side of John's, diagonally split just the same. Beneath Yellow's mask, we see a burning yellow eye, and his mouth under the chin of the mask, open in a snarl. Yellow is smaller than John, the end of his cloak appears to have been torn apart.

[ID: Pencil-on-paper fanart of Arthur Lester from Malevolent Podcast. He's touching his mustache while smiling smugly. End ID]
its all the rage
[ID copied from ALT: Arthur Lester, a man with short, curly, brown hair, a thin mustache, the top part of his right ear missing, and visible scars next to his right eye and on his neck, stands on a dark corridor, holding up a lighter with his left hand, facing towards the viewer. He is wearing a dark blue pinstripe three-piece suit, a muted red tie, and a long brown coat. The corridor he is standing in is dark and tilted strangely to the right. At the end of the corridor behind Arthur there's a door hanging slightly open, with bright red light spilling out through the crack. On the wall to Arthur's left there are two framed silhouette portraits of two young women facing each other. A swirling dark mass filled with eyes and grinning teeth that seems to be coming out of the crack in the door is clinging on the ceiling and spilling down the wall towards the two portraits. On the wall to Arthur's right there is a dark shadow that seems to be cast by him, looming tall with two shiny yellow pinpricks of light positioned as its eyes. Right against the shadow's elbow there is a dusty mirror, and reflected on it is an arm clothed in tattered yellow robes, ending on a dark inhuman hand holding a lighter, mirroring Arthur's left arm.

Neglected to post this earlier because of life stuff going on, but belatedly here's my piece for the @malevolent-fanzine, inspired by the early episodes of season 4 and the boarding house.
Maltober/Orthober Day 15
One of the best posts I've come across describing John and Arthur's relationship said "not romantic, not platonic, but a secret third thing (drawn on the same layer)" and it was the most accurate thing I've ever read. With that concept in mind, today I drew them in the same line.
