direct action
[ID: a two-panel comic of Arthur Lester from Malevolent. The background of the first panel consists of scribbled black strokes, on which John’s yellow dialogue is written. It is largely obscured by Arthur, but visible pieces say, “Oh, God, Arthur, they’ve skinned–” “Blood–” “Rotten–” In speech bubbles that further hide this text, Arthur is saying, “All right, that’s– JOHN, stop, that’s enough!”
In the second panel, Arthur has slapped his right hand firmly over his eyes. The black background has been reduced to a small, angry shape looming over Arthur’s shoulder, with slitted yellow eyes and a sharp-toothed open mouth. John is shouting, “HEY!” /end ID]

ID under the cut.
A stained glass style digital drawing of Kayne from the podcast Malevolent. He is depicted as a man with light brown skin, long, curly hair, and black eyes. His smile reveals sharp teeth. Kayne wears a black suit and dress shirt. His clothing is unblemished by the blood on his hands. His palms are pierced through with open wounds, though the stains on his fingers appear to be from elsewhere. Behind Kayne is a two-toned yellow spotlight and a circular piano key pattern. Four smaller rose windows rest in the corners of the picture, each depicting bloodstained items in front of blossoming moonflowers. The windows in turn flanked by two smaller frames that display three conjoined eyeballs superimposed on a pale red triangle. The upper left rose window shows an iron coin besmirched with a bloody thumbprint. The coin’s inscription reads “DABIT DEUS HIS QUOQUE FINEM”. The upper right window holds a silver music box patterned by rose prints and a greyscale portrait of a young girl. A bloody handprint wraps itself around the sides of the box. In the lower left window rests an iron-handled dagger. The silver blade is covered in the gore of someone’s recent wound. The final window shows a crumpled bag of Gardetto’s, also decorated by Kayne’s fingerprints.

Carpe Fucking Diem Powder
A spell powder for when you don’t want to seize the day, but you fucking have to anyway 🙄
Use a mortar and pestle to grind the following dried herbs. Channel all your frustration into the action until it’s a fine powder. (If you aren’t able to grind by hand, using a coffee grinder or pre-ground herbs is totally fine!)
➜ Rosemary (for protection)
➜ Sage (for cleansing)
➜ Cinnamon (for luck and prosperity)
➜ Rose petals (for attracting your desires)
➜ Black pepper (to repel negative energy)
➜ Cayenne (so everyone will fuck off)
Use any ratio you’d like. Whatever feels good, or whatever feels vindictive. I personally add them in the order listed above— using the most amount of rosemary, and only a pinch of cayenne.
Add it to a jar with one whole dried bay leaf. Keep it by your front door. Every time you need a little extra boost to help you seize the fucking day, grab a little palmful of the powder and throw it on the ground (outside) as hard as you can.
Shake the jar to recharge.
Be careful not to touch your eyes or any sensitive skin after handling the powder— the cayenne may burn.
I started listening to Malevolent and Arthur…he’s a baddie
Starting to think about making a master list of "small unexplained mysteries/details that will probably come back to emotionally destroy me" in malevolent. So far I've got
1. The lighter
2. That early episode where John recognized the song in the radio
3. Kayne saying "present and accounted for" in respond to John's "Jesus christ!"
4. Arthur seemingly dying only to make a miraculous recovery (I think we're on the third time now?)
