Thinking Of That One Scene From The Incredibles But Applying It To John And Arthur Where Johns Hand Starts

So! I’ve been listening to a podcast… Malevolent has been consuming my halloween season, and now I am torn between binging the last season and catching up, to where I know I will be losing my MIND waiting for drops, or putting it on the back burner so it can flesh out and I dont get plauged with hyperfixation/depravation.

slapping him saturday

i started listening to malevolent and john getting pissed off at arthur's lack of self preservation never stops being funny

anyone here fw malevolent the podcast?

Ok, while we are on the topic of Malevolent, I decided to post some mlvlnt thingies I drew last year

[ID: A traditional drawing of Arthur Lester from the chest up, portrayed in an animated gif followed by three stills of the gif frames. The drawing depicts Arthur as a midsized white man with disheveled dark hair that hangs over his face. He has a straight nose, eyebags, some stubble, and wears a brown button-up shirt, also disheveled. His face is pointed right at the viewer, his jaw slack in shock, as his eyes go entirely black. John is portrayed as a huge set of yellow teeth that circle Arthur entirely, as if about to devour him. Yellow drips from the maw of the teeth and from Arthur's shirt. Text frames the teeth, reading: "The King in Yellow". The gif fades from a bright version of the drawing to one bathed in shadows with only the outlines and text visible. End ID.]

yeah I'm still not over John speaking his (former) name for the first time, that changed the entire trajectory of my DNA. malevolent is SUCH a podcast <3

[VD: A small roughly animated gif of Arthur Lester, initially neutral and standing. John's hand then reaches for his face and abruptly grabs him by the cheeks, pulling him forward, and then pressing his palm against Arthur's lips in a kiss. A little heart fizzles above the kiss. As John starts to pull his hand away, Arthur catches it and holds it closer to his face. Another heart fizzles above the kiss as John's fingers press into Arthur's cheek. Arthur is drawn in blue lineart with gold eyes, and John is drawn with black lineart to distinguish the two. End ID.]

[ID copied from alt: A digital painting of Parker from the chin down. He is standing in front of a bathroom mirror with one hand on the sink and holding a razor in the other. Shaving supplies are piled along the back of the sink. In the background of the mirror is a doorway, and through that we can see Arthur sitting at his piano, staring distractedly at Parker with a blush on his cheeks.]

do you think parker and arthur ever—

This was inspired by a discussion in the Dreamlands server of Parker being Arthur’s gay awakening as they shared that tiny apartment.

details under the cut!

I started this last October and Procreate tells me i spent 45 hours on it 😭 i feel like my rendering skills were completely different at the start from what they became by the end

a man holding the hand that once belonged to him is something that can be so personal

[Image description: a digital painting of a pair of hands with fingers loosely intertwined. the hands are pale and dirt-stained, and the nails are chipped and dirty. the left hand is loosely wrapped in a thin stand of yellow cloth, and its pinky finger has been replaced by a tangle of sharp, thin branches, with dark veins extending into the hand. the background is smoky and dark, with a golden circle in the center of the canvas behind the hands. curved around the contour of the circle and the hands are the words, "everything I am, I learned from you" in gold text. End ID]

[ID copied from ALT: a digital illustration of Arthur Lester standing in the rain. he looks upset. John, manifesting part of his crown and seeming to grow larger, lifts his hand and looks at it while shadowy claws appear. he says "I have more... options." Arthur and John are connected by golden thread around the neck and left hand.

A digital illustration of Arthur Lester and John Doe with Alexander the owl. Arthur is laughing and smiling with his head falling back. John looks embarrassed. Alexander stands neutrally on a wooden beam. He is a large horned owl with big yellow eyes, staring at the pair. John and Arthur are connected by loose gold threads around their necks. End ID.]

A malevolent entity realizing he can gain more autonomy by threatening yours-> he does not know what an owl is
