I hope Larson and Yellow(?) have a similar bonding experience to Arthur and John but more fucked up and evil
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]

“WhAT The FUCk IS WRONG WITH YOU, ARTHUR?” I said those words aloud, and I have never meant them so earnestly😞😤 I get it, the absurd amount of trauma is finally catching up to him, but?? ‘You seem more sensitive than before, let me tear into you with the most vicious and personal insult I have thrown at you yet, which is saying something, directly after a deeply traumatizing event.’ APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW ARTHUR. John honey he didn’t mean it, he doesn’t really think that 😭😭😭
And this is only going to get worse, unless Mr. Guthrie decides to take a U-turn on this character arc.
😞🎶 You call it madness… 😞

Arthur grits his teeth and fumbles around for the soap. It’s a small bar, but it will have to do. “Look. I get that you’re angry, but this really isn’t the time for—”
“I’m not angry.”
Arthur scoffs. “No?”
“No. I’m … let’s call it grieving.”
.
After killing Larson, Arthur and John leave Addison. They end up in a motel for the night, and when Arthur’s emotions and traumas from the past few months bubble over into an inevitable breakdown, he finally communicates with John just what has happened the past few days and why Larson’s blood has ended up on his hands.
.
There’s blood on Arthur’s hand. He can feel it between his fingers, tacky and warm, sticking his skin to the handle of the dagger.
But he’s had blood on his hands since the day he cradled his daughter’s dead body in his arms. At least now, the literal matches the metaphorical.
He forces his fingers to uncurl from around the dagger. It clatters to the floor, loud in the silence that has overtaken the room. The echo of it is long, but Arthur thinks he imagines it longer. The room is large, the ceilings of the front hall of the manor vaulted and glittering with an intricate glass chandelier. The sound pings from surface to surface until it fades beyond human perception. (Inhuman perception as well, he supposes. Monstrous perception.)

LMFAO INCREDIBLE. IMMACULATE.
Thank you, Harlan, you feed us so well.
“…who?”
GOT ‘IM. ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED.
Old favorite character divorced, new favorite character acquired.
kicking the door down to talk about blood and sand and the difference parker yang made in the life of arthur lester
so the recipe i’ve found and used for a blood and sand cocktail is equal parts scotch, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and orange juice. this drink is sweet. parker looked at this sad sad man and his scotch and said “if you’re drowning your sorrows you may as well change it up every now and then, yeah?”
arthur “secret sweet tooth” lester who’s been intentionally depriving himself of anything kind tasting this cocktail and sharing it with a stranger who just keeps coming back and eventually becomes his best friend.
parker yang and the bitter-sweet tang of scotch and cherry and orange and the hint of light in a dark tunnel that arthur’s been stuck in for a very long time
okay the thing is Kayne literally speaks abt the fucking patrons and i picked this up last night and it’s been driving me mad bc he. He Is Talking About Us.
Well, us as in the patreon users but ykwim
Ep 20, when they’re talking about Destiny and Choices and blah blah blah, This is what Kayne says
“Nooo nononono its not your choice, or his choice”
and then he says a bit later
“okay it’s not a choice, it’s fate, it’s allll predestined”
what he’s Saying is, it IS a choice, but not for Arthur and John. It IS a choice, for the patrons, but it’s fate for Arthur and John. So talking to them, really, it’s not a choice, for them it is destiny.
There’s also another one that MIGHT be a stretch ?? but idk. This is in Coda
“and there’s nothing in it for me ? yknow, someone outta tell them that coins don’t land on their sides, your friends SUCK at following the rules”
Idk I kinda think the “friends” are the Patrons, and not following the rules could be. the ties in votes, which i think people said gives John another limb ? or could even be the patrons getting Arthur killed with their choices, and he still gets back up.
I only drew this conclusion bc Arthur doesn’t have friends so this is the last thing i could think of.
ANYWAY Kayne knows the patrons exist this motherfucker does the office stare of podcasts and it’s great
John and Arthur: Where should we go? Arkham? New York?
Me, listening to this: GO!!!! TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!!! RIGHT NOW
This is fucking ART
I want Arthur and John to go to a perfectly ordinary petting zoo. What patreon tier do I have to be to make this happen.
