“Arthur, Stop!”

He’s gotta munch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What if Kayne didn’t take another piece of kiy, but split john in half. Gave em the old STOS narratively convenient transporter malfunction. Arthur did say John seemed more sensitive way back in episode- what, 24? 25?

Hooded Crow John and Red-backed Shrike Arthur

I think Malevolent fans should give Arthur the Jonathan Sims treatment of giving him longer hair as the story goes on. Cuz for like(I’m guessing) for all of s2 he is stuck in the Dreamworld and has no was to cut his hair. I NEED John getting mad a Arthur because he can’t see.

Allow me to trample all over your hope and optimism with my take:

Episode 24 ends with Arthur muttering “This too shall pass,” the quote engraved in the lighter. To me, it feels like it has gone from getting him through horrible situations, to getting him through the horrible things he does to survive them. The lighter has saved their asses repeatedly, and has always been there when they needed a solution. However, fire is known for its duality in both giving life and destroying it, and the lighter seems intent on being the first and only thing Arthur reaches for when he needs a solution.

Ya know Malevolent should have its spookily-recurring lighter be the only benevolent thing in the show. Just a little spark of hope that Arthur will always find no matter how bad things get.

….And it would be a funny joke to pull on us paranoid TMA fans.

I don’t know how to reblog w a video ;_;

It uhhh…. It sure is something. I got the notes to play at more or less the right times, and I consider that an accomplishment. I later tried pitching down an irl violin for the “cello” and it was somewhat promising. The chorus bit is the waltz and it… exists.

Stoathur.

i have nothing else to say, and nothing in my defense. Arthur as a stoat. or weasel? i don't know at this point.

[ID: A digital illustration of Arthur Lester, as an anthropomorphized stoat. His fur is scraggly and unkempt, most of his fur a rich brown while the fur of his chin and his throat is a light tan. His suit is a darker shade of brown than his fur, and his shirt, tie, and pocket square are off-white. He wears a pair of glasses. The expression on his face is tired as he stares at the viewer, his eyes a glowing yellow. /end ID]

Ive recently been absolutely fucking destroyed by the Rusty Quill Gaming podcast wtf
