i truly think we've survived the darkest parts of arthur and john's tumultuous relationship. i think the cycle of tearing each other apart and making up is finally over.
the way they interacted all through season 5, and just their overall dynamic, plus with yorick in the mix - it seems so much more mature, yk? they're actually communicating, they're not blowing up at each other every time they get angry. they haven't verbally flayed each other alive even ONCE. and even when they did argue, it never felt quite so mean-spirited as in the past.
it really feels like they've grown, and honestly? i'm glad! the divorce/remarriage thing could only go on for so long before it started to get old, and i'm glad they seem to have settled into a new normal!
A short Lilith and Kayne animatic based on Part 52

Arthur for the love of GOD do not drink that shit oh my godd can we get Yorick in the chat to talk some sense into this guy
Just remembered the whiplash I got from Harlan saying “timpanies” so here’s a little rant about it
Timpani is technically already a plural word. Even though it can be used for just a singular drum (ex. can you move the 29 inch timpani to the left?), the correct word for a singular timpani drum is technically timpano. Even if the orchestral setting that Kayne was in had multiple timpani players, they would probably just be called “timpani.”
Ok rant done I just remember my head WHIPPING to my phone when he said that, and I had to do a little psa for all my non music folks!

I have a lot of thoughts about John Doe and fear
Everything from his secrets, to his anger, to his narration, to his more self-contained and tangible irrational childish fears. I have lots of thoughts about all of it. John Doe is terrified, All The Time
He lies and gets defensive when he's ashamed, he shouts and curses and gets verbally abusive and goes on villain monologues when he feels trapped, he gets spacey and lost in describing all the gruesome details when he's freaked out and overwhelmed, he narrates things to Arthur that he obviously already knows are happening when he panics, and he's scared of the dark. He also has trust issues, and sees any living being as a potential threat, even if it's just a deer or an owl. This guy is a bundle of fear
You don't like New Yawk? 🗽? Bada Bing?
i love how tma introduces canon vampires and immediately glosses over them. yeah we have vampires here. who the fuck even cares. we’ve got bigger fish to fry jonathan
I don’t need therapy. I need my husband (archive of our own) to return from war (the server is currently down) and come home to his devoted wife (an ao3 user who was in the middle of reading a gay sex scene). it’s been almost two years (20 minutes) since he (ao3) has been taken from me
Two doodles based on chapter 16 of For What You Are (by @hauntieannes)
The first doodle is what I picture Arthur’s live reaction to the dumb “comedians”
ALSO neurodivergent aromatic John means the WORLD to me, he’s so relatable (as an aroace nd person myself), he’s written so well <3
I don’t post very often because I’m often busy with schoolI draw sometimes idk
