Kayne Malevolent. He’s so
[Image ID: Left to right, top to bottom. Five drawings of Kayne Malevolent, a tan man with dark, curly hair who wears a black suit. His eyes are red. In the first drawing, he holds his hand up to his face and asks “Who, me?” In the second drawing, he holds a hand up to his face and winks while saying “Well, it’s all over for ya, honey!” In the third drawing, he points a finger gun off-screen and puts his other hand in his pocket. He winks while saying “Bingo!” He’s standing in front of a stage. In the fourth drawing, Kayne rests his chin on his hands in an endearing manner and sparkles. Rays of light shine from him. The fifth drawing is of Kayne laying on his side, propping up his head with his left hand and with his other hand on his hip. He winks while saying “Alone on a Friday night? Pathetic.” /. End ID]

I wrote this in response to someone in a malevolent fan discord pointed out Canary in a Coal Mine by The Crane Wives being a Jarthur song, which I completely agree, but the song is a whole analysis on its own.
theres that extra jab of Kayne using the phrase in 28, and thou it was due to them literally being in a coal mine and the color yellow, it got me thinking about jarthur in terms of actual coal mine canaries.
So miners used canaries as a warning sign to toxic gases, having much smaller and sensitive lungs then humans. So when the birds succumbed to the gases, becoming ill or dying, the miners knew to escape before they faced the same.
Arthur is John’s ‘a piece of driftwood to hold onto, otherwise he’ll drown, nothing to him’ other then a vessel for him to no longer be trapped and get what he wants. Arthur is the canary John brings into the mine knowing arthur will suffer but not carrying because it benefits him.
Except miner’s started to see these birds as pets, they felt bad, but they still needed them. So they invented special cages that when they noticed the canaries reaction to a toxic gas, they could close a door that would prevent the outside air from getting in the cage and pump clean air in. This wasn’t done for economic reasons, just out of empathy. John grew to view Arthur as more then a tool, rather a friend. Someone he is still bound to, someone he still needs to use, but someone he cares for and someone he will save.
Not to mention, further connections with the symbolism of canaries and Arthur. First of all, they are song birds and were prized for their voices. They were seen to teach how to experience the sweetness of life and how to use ones own voice. They were the light at the end of the tunnel, John learning humanity from Arthur. New beginnings, getting out of your comfort zone. Loyalty, courage, protection of yourself and those you love, optimism. But they weren’t a purely positive sign. A caged canary spoke of limitations or even entrapment, particularly of an emotional nature, a sign of vulnerability and of of an unfaithful friend that has damaged trust and jeopardised your safety. “If a strong negative force kills the Canary in your dream, this is a sure sign that somebody has done something wrong – whether that’s you or another, it symbolises guilt, shame, regret or anger at your own actions, or inaction especially if you have not been able to protect something important to you” further more, surrounding the phrase ‘canary in a coal mine’ is them being an warning of impending doom to those around them. Some say them as a omen of a family death. And this is more john/the kiy but “if the Canary is singing into your ear, this is said to represent the flattery of others who may be wanting something out of you”
Though they, specifically yellow canaries are also a sign of good luck, which the boys definitely dont have

I'm getting caught up on Malevolent (@malevolentcast) at long last and the scene in part 28 between Arthur and the creature in the mines when they were connected just about destroyed me.
Given the nature of the beast, I pulled from my designs for the Whateley twins for the creature.
