Malevolent Spoilers Part 1 - The Dark World

A non-exhaustive list of things from TMA that I was 100% certain were just fandom jokes before I actually listened to the podcast:

- The homophobic vase.

- Jon being kidnapped and forcibly moisturized for a month.

- Jon being kidnapped three separate times in the span of a single season.

- The "I won't kill a man because you're jealous." "Why not?!" exchange between Jon and Martin.

- There are like seven or more characters all named some variant of Michael.

- Melanie calling Jon "The Ceaseless Watcher's special little boy".

- Jon asking Martin if he was a ghost.

- The "Statement of Joe Spooky" quote from Tim.

- The "Except for the vampires." "Yeah, obviously except for the vampires." exchange between Jon and Gerry.

- Mike Crew trapping a dude on a ladder forever.

- Jon asking Martin to gouge his eyes out and run away with him.

- Nikola Orsinov. Like, just in general.

- Elias being a pothead.

- Georgie being literally incapable of feeling fear.

- The bone apple teeth.

- The guy who married a bug.

I Died For You [A Malevolent Animatic]

Voice acting and audio by @malevolentcast , who very generously sent me this audio file to use for this animatic. Thank you for creating such a beautiful show.

Background and details under cut

I began this animatic early last year after finding the audio on TikTok. Once I heard it, I was immediately struck with the thought of how those first couple of weeks in the Dark World would be for John immediately after Season 2. It seemed perfectly fitting, how John might be tortured by his guilt and uncertainty if Arthur was even still alive, and that torment would only aid his regression to his more… Kingly qualities.

I began to draft the thumbnails of the animatic in my sketchbook before transferring it to my digital workspace, which was incredibly intimidating at the time. This was my first independent animatic. In last year’s InvictusCon, Harlan popped into my stream as I was explaining my animatic thought process to my viewers, shaking with both excitement and terror. I was stunned when he offered to voice it himself. The next day, he sent me the audio file. To this day, I am still stunned he spent so much time and effort to create something. It was the encouragement I needed to finish a longer-form animatic. It may be only a minute and some change, but this is a whole year of my life condensed - my obsession, my adoration, my passion for not only this podcast but for art in general, both visual and audio.

It’s by happy accident that I finished this right at the cusp of the Season 5 finale. It almost perfectly slots in. So… let’s all pretend that this animatic took me a month to do rather than the year I spent sweating on my couch and complaining about the number of times I forgot Arthur’s wooden finger.

some innocent trivia!!!!!

phenomenal news, all

so over the last couple of days i've been working on my John Doe cosplay, which i needed to set up for ease of access (so i could work on it without wearing it)

an unintended consequence of this has been. the creation of this thing that now lives in my bedroom

my room now feels like an arthur lester simulator. i wake up, i fall asleep, i sit down or stand up and there is The Creature

he is currently discovering the joy of whimsy (and felt ornament i made of john for an xmas party) life is so beautiful 💛

he is frightening my roommates. i love him

TMP FANS ARE EATING GOOD TONIGHT

The fact that John probably knows how to play faroe’s lullaby makes me want to scream

okay sorry…chill…

Me and the mutual I pulled by being actually I have no idea why they followed me but I'm glad they did
