Favorite trope in ‘John has his own body’ fics: graphically describing how he wants to crawl back in Arthur’s skin and generally Doesn’t Like when they’re not touching
Do you ever start to panic for no reason just to realise that you haven’t been breathing? Sometimes I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack out of nowhere and then I just start breathing again and I’m fine. What’s up with that?? I didn’t even notice I stopped breathing in the first place
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Malevolent (Podcast) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John/Arthur Lester Characters: Arthur Lester, John (Malevolent) Additional Tags: Fluff, Holding Hands, Touching, set before episode 16 Summary:
Arthur, John said again though, voice disapproving and the man was nothing if not stubborn. This is a bad idea. Without really thinking about it, Arthur moved his hand and covered John’s, lying next to his.
“Sleep, John,” Arthur mumbled. “We will worry about what this means tomorrow.” He was too tired for mysteries tonight. Underneath his hand, he could feel John’s fingers twitching slightly, curling inward and touching his own before uncurling again.
In the Dreamlands, Arthur and John find a bed and some rest and comfort.
I love that word. Forever. I love that forever doesn’t exist, but we have a word for it anyway, and use it all the time. It’s beautiful and doomed.

[ID: Three drawings of three modelled Filipinianas against a shared background which looks like aged paper. Each one is labelled a different entity which goes, from left to right, the Eye, the Vast, and the Dark. All the models are faceless. Three close ups follow the main image.
The Eye Filipiniana is an 1890s traje de mestiza featuring a brown panuelo with green embroidered trimming resembling ink pen tips and green strips resembling eyelashes at the opening, a translucent wide-sleeved striped baro in alternating off-white and green with green embroidered eyes for trimming, a dark cyan tapis with rows of books patterned on, and a silky striped saya in alternating yellow and green with an eye where the saya and the tapis meet and embroidery of people walking at the hem. Finished with accessories of a silky green necklace with a hanging realistic eye and a dark blue folding fan with an eye pattern. The model has brown skin and straight black hair up in a bun.
The Vast Filipiniana is a Commonwealth Era Style Baro’t Saya featuring a violet umbrella with a bright galaxy on the inside that the model holds on her shoulder, a magenta panuelo with yellow and orange stripes held together with a bright yellow star-shaped medallion, wide translucent butterfly-sleeved baro with a sunset to sky blue gradient from top to bottom with embroidered white clouds on the sleeves, a tapis with different shades of blue going from a light blue to dark blue top to bottom with embroidered silver fish of differing sizes, and a silky dark-blue-to-deep-blue saya with a long saya de cola with dark silhouettes resembling tentacles creeping up the sides. The model has pale tan skin and wavy hair held up in a loose lower bun.
The Dark Filipiniana is an 1840s Baro’t Saya styled for church-wear featuring a translucent plaid-patterned magenta panuelo, a striped straight-sleeved camisa in alternating dark magenta and off-white, a dark purple tapis embroidered with hands in alternating red and blue gripping each other by the wrist, a plaid-patterned magenta saya, and dark purple sandals. The models holds a dark purple hood over her head, the outside is a dark purple trimmed with white embroidery meant to look like closed eyes, the inside is a dark mass filled with open white eyes in strange positions, the dark mass drips down the edges of the hood, some eyes following. The model has ashy tan skin and combed back brown hair.

Finally finished it! I’ve wanted to do this for a while but pushed it off until now. The Entities as a couple versions of the Filipiniana. I don’t have plans rn to make the others since I suspect I will soon be busy again. Still, I have some ideas, particularly for the Web. Have a favourite?
My inspiration+info under the cut! :D

I was talking to my friend about Malevolent (because it now lives rent-free in my head) and I mentioned how John is called John, and she was like "haha how weird name for an eldritch god, I would call him... ummm Přibyl", and I was like " I don't think he would pronounce ř correctly" so it merged into Pribyl, which for some reason reminded me of Pribináček (joghurt brand), anyways, here is thing that I'm weirdly proud of:
