okay the thing is Kayne literally speaks abt the fucking patrons and i picked this up last night and it’s been driving me mad bc he. He Is Talking About Us.
Well, us as in the patreon users but ykwim
Ep 20, when they’re talking about Destiny and Choices and blah blah blah, This is what Kayne says
“Nooo nononono its not your choice, or his choice”
and then he says a bit later
“okay it’s not a choice, it’s fate, it’s allll predestined”
what he’s Saying is, it IS a choice, but not for Arthur and John. It IS a choice, for the patrons, but it’s fate for Arthur and John. So talking to them, really, it’s not a choice, for them it is destiny.
There’s also another one that MIGHT be a stretch ?? but idk. This is in Coda
“and there’s nothing in it for me ? yknow, someone outta tell them that coins don’t land on their sides, your friends SUCK at following the rules”
Idk I kinda think the “friends” are the Patrons, and not following the rules could be. the ties in votes, which i think people said gives John another limb ? or could even be the patrons getting Arthur killed with their choices, and he still gets back up.
I only drew this conclusion bc Arthur doesn’t have friends so this is the last thing i could think of.
ANYWAY Kayne knows the patrons exist this motherfucker does the office stare of podcasts and it’s great
arthur lester shivering like a feral chihuahua and covered in blood
John and Arthur: Where should we go? Arkham? New York?
Me, listening to this: GO!!!! TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!!! RIGHT NOW
sitting on the floor staring at the ceiling do you think John would like the violin. Do you think John would play the violin. Do you think John and Arthur could duet.
:)
Okay so there was this set of digital sticker looking things of times John had been v encouraging and I distinctly remember one of them being “Arthur well done. But she is climbing througb the hole behind us!” but I cannot for the life of me find the original post please help
Stoathur.
i have nothing else to say, and nothing in my defense. Arthur as a stoat. or weasel? i don't know at this point.

[ID: A digital illustration of Arthur Lester, as an anthropomorphized stoat. His fur is scraggly and unkempt, most of his fur a rich brown while the fur of his chin and his throat is a light tan. His suit is a darker shade of brown than his fur, and his shirt, tie, and pocket square are off-white. He wears a pair of glasses. The expression on his face is tired as he stares at the viewer, his eyes a glowing yellow. /end ID]
You ever get into a specific piece of media and when someone says they'll start watching you get excited for them?
I finished the Malevolent podcast in the span of 3, maybe 4 days because I got that invested in the what's next, the characters, the mystery... I can't say enough good things about this show.
These are early listening doodles as I explored what I wanted John might look like. As I continued the series, I wanted to push for something with a sort-of mask, but unsettlingly creepy and a touch alien. Also TEEF.
And then John kept being John with his expressiveness and I would die for him, your honor.
There's an additional sketch beneath the cut, but spoilers for season 1. :)
What if Kayne didn’t take another piece of kiy, but split john in half. Gave em the old STOS narratively convenient transporter malfunction. Arthur did say John seemed more sensitive way back in episode- what, 24? 25?
Arthur: *calls John a Sour Puss*
Me: *proceeds to lose my fucking mind*
“John, I can get you close to Arthur, but you’ll be in someone else’s head.”
“Larson, I will put a fragment of an elder god in your head, but he’ll be an absolute pussy.”
i am considering the sickening possibility that john's truthful answer to arthur's question "where did you go [when yellow was in my head]?" is "in larson's head"
He’s gotta munch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Private Jon
Yk what. fuck you *angsts your cat*
Inspired by @xenolinn ‘s extremely entertaining Jon time travel cat au! what a mouthful. I’ll just call it.. Jat. John Cat. Er.. Jeline??? John Feline?????? Mow?????? Meow?????????????????
You can’t see this but you have the cold calculated demeanor of someone not to fuck with
It’s a pity the characters we meet in malevolent are so limited. I know it’s supposed to be a one man show, but also, it’s a one *man* show. I feel like there’s wiggle room here.
I relistened to episode 27 earlier, and now that I've had time to actually process it, I want to examine that final desicion in a bit more detail.
Let's start with some facts about the monster:
It is intelligent ("It's not a mindless being like the one we fought in the Dreamlands, John, it's intelligent.")
It knows that its victims can free themselves using obsidian ("to know when to be silent, to guard obsidan so more of its meals won't leave.")
It knows where the only source of obsidian is
It knows John and Arthur have returned to the mines ("It senses you.")
It knows that they're in contact with the person they met in the shack, who I'm going to nickname Cave Buddy (CB).
We can safely assume that the monster has drawn the following conclusions: John and Arthur would only return to the mines to rescue the others, and that CB, having already freed themself, can tell them how to do that. Meaning that the monster knows that John and Arthur will be heading to the lair to retrieve the obsidian. So its most obvious course of action is to go there and wait, which is exactly what it fucking did.
Now some facts about the Cave Buddy:
They have survived down here for a long, long time ("They look pained as thay talk, as if they haven't spoken in a long time."), and have managed to evade the monster for that entire time
At one point the monster got close enough to attach a tendril, and CB still managed to get free ("Cut it out"). So it's been demonstrated that they are not completely helpless
They are small enough to fit through narrow passages and nimble enough to climb into the rafters, and they can do both of those things too quietly for John and Arthur to hear. They are highly mobile and stealthy
They have willingly stayed in the mines for a long time, at great risk to their own safety, because they want to free the others ("You haven't left because you want to help them.")
Their tendril has already been cut free, and presumably another one cannot be attached. Meaning that the monster won't bother trying to subdue them and will simply kill them on sight (which it did.) CB knows this.
It can be assumed that any decision CB makes takes all of this into account.
Everything I've listed is information that CB, the monster, John, and Arthur all either already know or have the capacity to deduce. And they're aware that the others know it, too.
So in light of all that, walking into the monster's lair without someone drawing it out first is effectively suicide. John and Arthur should have know damn well that the thing was gaurenteed to be in there because, as Arthur said, it knows to guard obsidian. Someone needed to distract it, and CB's superior mobility meant that they had a way better shot than John and Arthur.
Having CB serve as a distraction is not only the logical choice but also the compassionate one, because it gives them the best chance at achieving a goal they've had for a long, long time. It's dangerous, yes, but their continued presence in the mines and the fact that they literally fucking offered to do it proves that they are just damn fine with that risk.
Basically, CB was not a child or a pet in need of protection, they were a rational being who was trying to achieve a goal and who knew full well what they were getting into. Choosing not to have them provide a distraction was a poor decision.
HOW YOUNG AND INNOCENT WE WERE
So when “miles to go before I sleep” was first mentioned, I recognized it immediately. Had no idea just how important that reference would become.
Spoilers through Part 26: Bedrock.
The scariest part about Malevolent 26 is the happy-ish ending. So much optimism. Meanwhile, Kayne's out there in his heart-shaped sunglasses, white wine cooler in hand, halfway unbuttoned collared shirt just waiting in the shadows. Shit's about to hit the fan.
“i’m embarrassed by my bloodlust” is literally the most poor little meow meow thing a man could say
The Larson kids, few months before all goes to hell.
And be careful of tears blurring your vision whilst driving
Finally started listening to Malevolent and first of all holy SHIT is the eye control thing a great way to have an in-universe reason to give the listener visual details, and secondly, is this series going to be Toxicly Gay or am I a dumb idiot queer who hears a British man being tormented and goes 'oooo they'll be SO unhealthy for each other~'
No major spoilers or anything (as of writing this I've only finished episode two) but do feel free to do to me what I do to new TMA fans, aka vaguely implying shit that the new listener will squint at for being ominous, then return later going 'YOU BITCH YOU DIDN'T WARN ME!! FUCK!!'
What about John waking up completely alone with full control of Arthur's body
Clawing my way back up the pipeline to say
Can you imagine a Ghost Hunt UK x Ghost Files collab. The horrifying feedback loop Alex and Shane would make. Jonny putting Ryan’s imagination on steroids…

“Arthur, stop!”
“What?”
“There’s a young boy in the alley.”
“A child?”
“He has a mop of brown hair and large, brown eyes. He wears a dark blue polo shirt with two lighter blue stripes across the chest, and beige pants that cut off before the knee. His shoes are…very strange. Several Band-aids are visible on his body.”
“He sounds like he needs help.”
“No! It is not human.” [dramatic sting]
“How do you know?”
“I just do. It is having a strange effect on me. I am unnaturally drawn to him, like…”
“Like what? Should we run? Confront h-”
“…we need to adopt him.”
“I beg your pardon?”
i just realised that John kinda sounds like Freddy Fazbear at times and i've never been more upset in my entire life
