One thing I haven’t seen anyone post about yet is the “should’ve used our left hand” conversation, and it is so so so important to me.

It’s very rare that we get any verbal confirmation that John—who for all intents and purposes only exists in a meaningful physical capacity through Arthur’s left hand—interacts with the world at all unless it’s in dire circumstances where he has to, like the mines in Addison.

We don’t hear him say “let me get that” or anything active almost ever, and we have to infer that maybe he’s moving around, touching things, gesticulating, guiding Arthur in some small way when he says “here!” but it’s never really said explicitly that he touches things idly sometimes. He usually only helps Arthur, like holding the torch, and doesn’t do much for himself. And yeah, perhaps that would be clunky writing, but it bothered me for a little while. I’ve always wanted to see him interact with the world more, touch more things, take a little initiative with the body they’re sharing, even if for practical reasons, but if it’s important to him that Arthur has some semblance in control? If he is considering Arthur’s feelings constantly by tamping down the urge to find and seek and know for himself, increasing that sense of isolation? If he’s trying even harder now to take up less space, to make himself small, in order to assuage the prickling guilt he feels for threatening taking that control back from Arthur? If he’s going to do his fucking damnedest to resist the urge to manifest even when the power is right there at his fingertips? Well, then that’s fucking delicious.

Loved the scene where John and Arthur spent ten minutes dithering about wether or not they were going into the obviously haunted wall, both seemingly in the knowledge that they were, 100%, going to do that

Malevolent episode dropping early, posting 13th century cringe before I listen to it and get my entire shit wrecked

Tablet is an underappreciated regional food

So that new Malevolent, right?

#HE HAS LITERALLY THE BEST GUN IN THE WORLD #you dont have to reload it after every shot! you can aim it!! (HE can't very well. But one could. John could) #malevolent #i mean really the only gun. I'm p sure they had like. Proto-guns in china by that time. But you know. Debatable whether they count. #anyway how long do we think he'll be able to hang on to it

great start to the new season, a few notes though?

1) why did they enter the wall vagina???

2) why did thEY HAVE TO TAKE ITS VIRGINITY???

#ajfjsjdjs i did not think of this but yeah #they broke its hymen.... #maggots? in my wallgina? it's more likely than you think #why were they so KEEN to enter the wallgina. I can understand it once the ladder broke. Kinda #but when they could have just walked out of there... #i guess if they run away from all the dangerous-seeming weird shit they'll probably never find this stone. But. #malevolent

how kate somerville looks musing about lymond's feminine gaze and exquisite wrists and musician's hands and long lashes and "eyes like a kitten's"

i love and respect that post or tweet or whatever it was about how every mountain goats song is like whirring of the ac in a warehouse while john goes "the dog was. brown" but i do think it applies more to older songs. nowadays any mountain goats song is like [sexy saxophone riff] john darnielle sounding really excited: I HAVE A FIVE STEP PLAN FOR MAULING YOU TO DEATH [bass lick] WHEN THE COPS COME TO MY DOOR I'LL KILL THEM TOO [more saxophone]

Your reminder that Arthur okayed that John-

John who lost himself in the Dark World for lifetimes and views that experience with such horror he won't talk about it

John who described himself as striving "cracked ribs and bleeding" on his way to humanity

John who was willing to fight for lifetimes to stay Himself

-would lose all of his memories, what made him John, if it got John back to him.

Back to him. Not safe. "I want him safe-" "You want him back".

And upon his return, Arthur tells him this.

RIGHT AFTER HOLDING ONTO HIS IDENTITY BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH IN THE DARK WORLD.

And Arthur says, and I quote 'but that doesn't matter now because you're back'.

AHEM?

Intermezzo decision what now?

Let us suppose that the "average" horse would have equal proportions of all these parts. The degree to which each part in this poll deviates from the "average" size (20% of total) will determine how large or small that part of our horse will be (i.e a horse with only 10% in Legs will have legs half the size of the average horse).

I will draw a picture of the horse we make!
