Is it ever explicitly stated that John strangled Parker with Arthur's body? Or is that just common interpretation due to the fact that there's no blood meaning he wasn't exactly dismembered like Emily?
Because don't get me wrong, the idea of being very physically killed with the hands of your best friend is deliciously angsty.
But also... The only thing that we know about Parker's death is that he called out Arthur's name before whatever happened, happened. Who's to say that John didn't just magically liquify his organs inside his body? Who's to say that the power of John transferring himself into Arthur's body didn't melt his mind until he literally forgot how to breathe or something?
I'm just saying that as much as I love a bit of angst I think the much more eldritch kinda gory options are really fun to think about, because until stated otherwise there's almost endless possibilities, even eldritch murder methods our minds literally couldn't comprehend.
STOP MAKING PLANS tho- that’s a narrative guarantee that they won’t happen.
Our lads seem to have forgotten that Arthur conspicuously absconded from the scene of a double murder when he was supposed to be investigating the murder of a little girl. And also having an impressive streak of people in his life suddenly dying. And disappearing after a month-long coma the same night the hospital morgue was broken into and all the lights shattered, with the a murdered woman pulled put of her body drawer. And purchased a gun and fake id. And stole a boat, and the cops who went after him were never seen again.
Fuck shit. Fuck. Not the Parker lore my heeeeaaaaaarrttttt
He’s gotta munch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Congratulations on being canon

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.
Ive recently been absolutely fucking destroyed by the Rusty Quill Gaming podcast wtf
You know you’ve got a premium blorbo when he literally dreams about getting a restful sleep.
“Surely you can’t expect me to climb a 30ft pole and take the already loose eye out of a dead man’s skull!” -the guy who scaled a vertical shaft dozens of feet tall, shimmied around the exterior of the nth floor of a mansion on a cliff during a storm, has survived an elevator drop from inside a hotel to the bottom of a massive underground cavern, stumbling into an eldritch meat pit in the bowels of another world, and being thrown down a mineshaft, and has killed “I don’t know, seven?” people, two of which by shoving his thumbs through their eyeballs.
Y’all will do fuck all for Yorick smh.
Arthur: *calls John a Sour Puss*
Me: *proceeds to lose my fucking mind*

A Record of MC’s Meat Suit
@neutronbutt
This will by no means be comprehensive, but here are some of the things I noted:
Day 1:
Has a fight with Eddie the Maintenance Man and is nearly strangled to death.
Gets in a car crash. Sounded bad, but even the baby was fine, so…?
Gets stabbed in the abdomen and is in a coma for over a month
Day 2
Is running for his life within an hour of waking up from a coma. That can’t be good for you.
Smacks his head on a boathouse
Gets beaten by cops
Gets shot twice in the gut and once in the chest. Saved by ghost.
Day 3
Smacks head on dock.
Gets blood drawn by cultists. Probably no long term effects. hopefully.
Falls in an old elevator from an unspecified height. Uneven footsteps for some time afterward.
Larvae starts burrowing into arm, burns it out with a lighter
Big river monster draws a substantial amount of blood from abdomen with apparent anti-clotting abilities.
Extraplanar entity attempts to destroy soul. Don’t know if that left a mark.
Bites off the tip of his pinky
Day 4
Sandstorm removes skin from right(?) side of face and damages right(?) eye. Presumably damaged any other exposed skin.
Fights an electricity snake.
Blows up the boat the snake is in
Falls into a big nasty pit. Specifically mentions injuring his back and being unable to walk on his ankle
Falls over a smaller drop of some kind
Gets crushed under a rock- mentions leg and arm are injured
Resets dislocated shoulder with no medical training, being instructed by a being that can barely remember possessing a physical body.
Has fight with own hand. I think another attempt at strangulation
Starved and tortured in a prison in the world of a god of suffering and madness for 3 months
Day 5 ✨
I think he managed to avoid serious injury until leg snap x2 + throat stab, which Kayne fixes
Edit: oh yeah I forgot about frostbite.
“In wind chill of minus 16.6 F (minus 27 C), frostbite can occur on exposed skin in less than 30 minutes.”
So what if like most of your skin is exposed and ur severely underweight and losing copious amounts of blood and occasionally falling unconscious in the middle of a snowstorm on a mountain? 🤔
Day 6
Then there’s just the unspecified leg injury that causes him to pass out. Wow he was really on a roll these past 2 days
An indeterminate time passes, but I’ll call it
Day 7
That’s right, folks, we’ve almost spent a full week with Arty and John
Now it’s just the recent stuff. He says his leg just feels stiff now, and ponders over the drastic recovery 👀
Ear monch
Fall down what sounds like a really long mine shaft. He encounters a lot of shafts huh
Aaaand we’re caught up
Let’s see we’re 2.5 days of strenuous activity (+however long he was unconscious) without food. I suppose that is nothing outside his norm.
Those are most of the major injuries. In the intervening time, he engages in plenty of activities that would result in cuts and bruises. If you want to get real nuanced with your blorbo-crushing you can research the physical effects of chronic stress, coma without proper recovery, and of long-term starvation.
At this point I’m convinced that John is affording him boosted constitution.
Love them with my entire heart and praying to god that they’ll one day be able to have a conversation whithout insulting/threatening to kill each other..
