#just close enough to his guilt that he can see himself in larsen

[im-the-queen-of-stardust]

So Part 26, hm? Always love to see a character at their breaking point. Love it so much, that I'll cry over it, because damn my heart was just breaking for Arthur. John reciting a poem to calm him down was just the last nail in my coffin.

#such an incredibly easy and simple way of catharsis #just giving arthur a mirror image of himself but worse #just close enough to his guilt that he can see himself in larsen #and oh the payoff at the end #we love to see it #or rather listen to a man breaking down and the eldritch turned human voice in his head comforting him #ah it was so good #and the poem!! #the poem just slayed me #gods if it weren't so late i could maybe properly write down the beauty and symmetry of that cathartic moment #but alas my head is empty of words #malevolent liveblog #malevolent #part 26
