We hear Arthur compare himself to The Butcher often, and makes me think about how The Butcher says "Once more, with feeling" before heading off to slaughter Daniel.
Do you reckon that Arthur Lester, composer, obsessive and distracted at the piano, uttered the words Once more, with feeling while his daughter drowned?

The Butcher is so unbelievably The Hunt coded. Going on a whole monologue about how the thrill and planning of the hunt is like a devotion?!

the butcher and parker being the only characters in the series to go by nicknames
the butcher and parker being the only characters in the series to understand arthur from the get go
the butcher and parker being the only characters to know what to say to arthur, to know what makes him tick
the butcher and parker being connected through the case arthur tells marie about
arthur starts to act how parker did after his interactions with the butcher (saying what parker said to him to oscar)
do you think the butcher reminded him of parker? what he showed him? do you think it made him want to show others the kindness parker showed him?

I love how the malevolent fandom just collectively agrees Arthur has Pathetic Man Rizz fit to make even 1930’s men question their sexuality

something really poetic about the butcher trying to kill arthur with piano wire. his selfishness related to his piano killed his daughter, and it will kill him too
