Posting This Very Late But HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOKIE!!!

Intro Post!

Hi, I'm Arthur Lester's Music Stand, jumping from the Kayne Train onto the tracks at dangerously high speeds!

This is my side blog, focused mostly on the audio drama, Malevolent, but may feature some other fandoms, too. Again, mostly audio dramas, such as The Magnus Archives/Protocol, Wolf 359, Sherlock & Co., The Silt Verses, and hopefully more soon!

For some further context, I am making this blog hot and fresh off the heels of Malevolent episode 52, "The Wager", a.k.a. the "grand finale" of season 5! I have found audio drama fandom blogs to be some of my favorite to interact with, and finally felt inspired to stop being a lurker and become an active member of the community. (For the record, no shade to fandoms of movies, tv shows, or books, but I think the inherently limiting and unique nature of audio dramas pushes for more creativity and need for audience engagement than the others. Just my two cents on the topic!).

Why am I Arthur Lester's music stand? Well, you may already be familiar with "limb posters" if you're in the fandom, which are folks who take on the names of our dear protagonist's, Arthur Lester, body parts, sometimes for roleplay purposes, mostly just to be silly. Spoilers for episode 52, but that spawned a new genre of Malevolent blogs, which are themed after different instruments the multiverse of Lesters might play in Kayne's orchestra.

I thought, wouldn't this be funny? I don't make art or fanfiction (yet), I'm not huge into making my own original posts, and I don't usually have much to add to anyone else's (though, I am trying to be more sociable!). However, I am great at reblogging! What a more fitting theme, to be someone who showcases some of the best work this fandom has to offer, as the very man's music stand?

So long story short, that's my deal, and that's what I'm doing here.

I believe I have asks open, so feel free to drop me a message, if you please! I have no real goal, other than to have fun with one of my favorite stories and fandoms ever, so if you'd like to further that goal in any way, I'm open for business! I'm also not opposed to attempting roleplay, either taking up certain characters or somehow being the music stand, although I'm not entirely sure how that would work lol.

Thanks for reading, have fun!

You walk around with your hands clasped behind your back to look smart

I walk around with my hands clasped behind my back because I'm holding hands with the voice that lives in my head

We are not the same

being a malevolent fan (for me and me only) is simultaneously wanting jarthur to be platonic because I think their relationship is really sweet and meaningful but also wanting them to have something a smidgen more romantic because as a gay fragment of an eldritch god I want my rep

more importantly I want them to hold hands

also I think it would be funny if they got married

literally the funniest thing about kayne to me is that he's barefoot. heres an all powerful god who is the last one left of his name because he killed thousands of his other selves in different universes. he has no need we can presume of a human form but he gave himself one anyways and despite the clothes he just. didnt tack on any shoes. i wonder if it was a conscious decision or not. did he forget and by then it was too late? because i also enjoy the idea of him making his grand entrance and thinking in the back of his mind, yes, the blood soaked city will freak these two chuckleheads out but you know whats really gonna unnerve them? these bare grippers.
