I’m SO obsessed with the implications at the end of Da Capo.
What did The Manager mean when he spoke to the unknown You. Is it Us? Is he talking to us?? O feel like the implication here is not only that he knows that we are an entity tagging along, but that he knows that we (or in this case, the Patreon users) are the ones influencing his decisions. We are inextricably tied to Arthur and the choices he makes and he’s cautioning us to work WITH him on this because ultimately WE are making his decisions whether he knows/wants it or not.
Also that last line mmmmmmmm oh boy that last line implies that not only have Arthur and John gone through this before, but so have we. WE have directed their decisions before, and WE are the reason they’ve failed in the past. WE need to not fuck it up this time or it’s reality on the line. Ooooh Mr Harlan Guthrie you’ve really done it now I’m not going to be normal about this
I Died For You [A Malevolent Animatic]
Voice acting and audio by @malevolentcast , who very generously sent me this audio file to use for this animatic. Thank you for creating such a beautiful show.
Background and details under cut
I began this animatic early last year after finding the audio on TikTok. Once I heard it, I was immediately struck with the thought of how those first couple of weeks in the Dark World would be for John immediately after Season 2. It seemed perfectly fitting, how John might be tortured by his guilt and uncertainty if Arthur was even still alive, and that torment would only aid his regression to his more… Kingly qualities.
I began to draft the thumbnails of the animatic in my sketchbook before transferring it to my digital workspace, which was incredibly intimidating at the time. This was my first independent animatic. In last year’s InvictusCon, Harlan popped into my stream as I was explaining my animatic thought process to my viewers, shaking with both excitement and terror. I was stunned when he offered to voice it himself. The next day, he sent me the audio file. To this day, I am still stunned he spent so much time and effort to create something. It was the encouragement I needed to finish a longer-form animatic. It may be only a minute and some change, but this is a whole year of my life condensed - my obsession, my adoration, my passion for not only this podcast but for art in general, both visual and audio.
It’s by happy accident that I finished this right at the cusp of the Season 5 finale. It almost perfectly slots in. So… let’s all pretend that this animatic took me a month to do rather than the year I spent sweating on my couch and complaining about the number of times I forgot Arthur’s wooden finger.
