Private Eyes - Blog Posts

So, instead of writing i colored a scene from the next part of my story. King of procrastination.

And here again without my terrible attempt at environmental lighting.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Malevolent (Podcast) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John/Arthur Lester Characters: John (Malevolent), Arthur Lester, Kayne (Malevolent) Additional Tags: Post Separation, Post canon, set sometime after Season 5, so season five spoilers, idk assume that they find the stone and Kayne actually keeps his end of the deal, DemiAroAce Arthur, He has feelings about that, complicated feelings, He struggles with it, John (Malevolent) Has His Own Body, John has sensory issues, and yearning issues, romantic Jarthur, we get to it eventually, Mutual Pining, other tags to be added as i think about it, please Harlan never find this Series: Part 1 of To Be Loved By You Is A Holy Thing Summary:

Kayne actually goes through with his end of the deal and gives John his own body. However, he not only leaves them stranded in the Dreamlands, but they also gives each of them issues to deal with when it comes to their bodies. Now they have to deal with being separated while they once again try to navigate back to Earth. Arthur struggles with his feelings toward John, not understanding what they are. (He wouldn't have had the language to define Demi-romantic) John struggled with... just about everything.

~

His thoughts turned to John; it felt incredibly lonely in this room- in this body- without him, even though he was just in the other room. There had once been a point when he'd wished for this; craved being alone more than he could say.

So why did it feel like hell now?

He should be grateful. John had his own body, his own autonomy outside of Arthur now- Arthur had his autonomy back. He should be happy for his friend, happy that he could interact with the world now; that he could interact with him now. And interact he did. He couldn't seem to keep his hands off him.

Love Thy Neighbour (1335 words) by StarsWhisper Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Malevolent (Podcast) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John/Arthur Lester Characters: John (Malevolent), Arthur Lester, Oscar (Malevolent), Noel | Charlie Dowd Additional Tags: Kissing, Silly little idea, romantic Jarthur, takes place post ending, John (Malevolent) Has His Own Body, they run an investigative practice in new york, cause i want them and oscar and noel to be buddies Summary: Arthur is cooking dinner and John gets bored filing paperwork

Okay, now that I'm free, I've made this. Thanks for bringing this more justice in the art than I could with words

My sister came up with this comedy gold. @starswhisperwritershear thank you for your service.

If I had a nickel for every time I was obsessed with a standard middle age white man who’s life is completely turned upside down do to a more powerful entity that they are forced to have guided them around and who constantly argue with them like a married couple…. I’d have two nickels.

rare arthur-lester-not-looking-entirely-miserable moment

HASHTAG BOY LIFE

thinking of that one scene from the incredibles but applying it to john and arthur where johns hand starts feeling up to arthur's jaw and arthur thinks hes just being weird until john decks him in the face skshfmnfnc

[Start ID: Three panel sketch comic of John and Arthur from Malevolent. Arthur is a stout man with a mustache and slightly messy, short side parted hair. He's wearing a collared shirt with a tie, his sleeves are rolled up past his elbows. First panel, John's hand grasps at Arthur's shirt, patting around. Arthur peers down at the movement confused. Second panel, Arthur looks even more confused as John's hand feels along his jaw. He says, "J...John, what are you-?". Third panel, Arthur is cut off when John's arm decks him across the face, Arthur staggers to the ground. A tiny disembodied John face (represented by an oval shaped face with four eyes and angry eyebrows) yells "FUCK YOU!!!" End ID.]

FINALLY FINISHED

obviously verrrry heavily inspired by the incredible @potato-lord-but-not 's malevolent poster, you know the one

psst. FINAL chapter slow burn private eyes is up. SAY HELLO TO PAYOFFFFF

Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Malevolent (Podcast) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John/Arthur Lester Characters: John (Malevolent), Arthur Lester Additional Tags: John (Malevolent) Has His Own Body, and also, Bodysharing, it's both you'll see, Post-Canon, they're in Arkham being, Private Eyes, Dreams, Idiots in Love, Miscommunication, followed by, Communication, eventually, No Smut, but it is incredibly homoerotic, First Kiss, Touch-Starved, both of them are, Slow Burn, as much as it can be in five chapters i suppose, not a case fic, even though it references cases, Mutual Pining, there is a cut to black scene where sexual content is implied, Love Confessions, but in a kinda backwards way?, its one of those not-romantic-not-platonic-but-a-secret-third-thing things, okay less like kissing more like snogging, it does get v saucy ngl, not explicit, these tags are a mess lol Summary:

Arthur has always considered dreams to be unremarkable: a simple reflection of his own thoughts and feelings. They are indecipherable, unconnected to reality, and largely meaningless.

But continuously, Arthur dreams of John.
