Finished Season One Of Malevolent

Maltober/Orthober Day 15

One of the best posts I've come across describing John and Arthur's relationship said "not romantic, not platonic, but a secret third thing (drawn on the same layer)" and it was the most accurate thing I've ever read. With that concept in mind, today I drew them in the same line.

Finally finished my Malevolent S5 bingo card!

hi guys , i drew the scene. horrified by hearing him mad. [despite the 12 kaynes on this page i am actually his #1 hater]

all I do is draw handsome men being obscenely homoerotic with one another

Some tragic eldritch gays for you, as a treat

the wound man

Caught in the Headlights

close-up below cut

[ID: A digital drawing colored in a style with thin, textured, sketchy lines. It depicts Arthur and John sat at a piano, visible from the chest up while Arthur plays, and John has his head tucked over his shoulder. Arthur sings in cursive script: "I really can't stay..." and John sings along in all caps: "But Orthur it's cold outside!!!" "I've got to go away..." (in even bigger text, being cut off by John's shoulder: "But Orthur it's cold outside!!!"

The drawing under the cut is a small, sketchy doodle of John's full body. He has six arms and two legs outstretched beneath his yellow cloak, his eyes wide, and he has a santa hat. He says "but ORTHUR!"

Character designs: Arthur is a thin white man with blond hair, a scarred right eye, and a thin mustache. He wears a sweater with a Christmas tree. John is a humanoid, grey-skinned entity with long curly hair falling from his yellow cloak. His face has limited features, but his eyes are yellow half moons that trace lines of gold down his face. End ID.]

What a year huh

But orthur!!!!

I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep

John hasn't known peace since Arthur figured out that the heart candies fit perfectly between his horns... Happy Valentines!

[ID: A painting of small creature John. He's depicted as a mostly amorphous blob with a vague animal shape with ripples of smoke around him, four small horns, bright gold eyes and marble like markings, with his left large horn being broken off. John looks slightly disgruntled and annoyed. On his head is a pink candy sweetheart with "You & Me" in red on it. It fits perfectly between all of his horns. /End ID]
