// malevolent intermezzo spoilers

Ok so we know about Darkthur and how he lost an arm.

And of course, everyone, including me, wants to know which one, if it was his or John’s arm, how it happened, what it means for their dynamic so on.

But I’m curious… would John have gotten that hand at all in the first place? The inciting incident for John getting Arthur’s left hand was Eddie beating up Arthur, but that didn’t happen in this time line, Eddie died much earlier.

So… did Darkthur John (Darkjohn?) get that hand at all?? Did he get when they killed Eddie anyway? Or did some other event later on trigger it? Maybe he got control of something else? His right hand? Perhaps another of Arthur’s senses?

I was gonna talk about a version of Arthur that is both deaf and blind, having to rely on John a lot more, but since John can hear everything from the start idk if that would make a difference. Would be an interesting concept too.

It would make driving WAY more difficult with just Arthur driving.

I think once we can better understanding of what triggers John taking a part of thirst body would probably help with this

Darkthur's Collage!!

Kind of not a character but I have a playlist for him so he gets one. This is also the more fucked up parts of Arthur, Darkthur is just when those traits take over.

Playlist link, and reasonings below cut off

The painting, or paper cut out I'm not sure, is supposed to symbolize his transformation into something monstrous. No longer human anymore.

Those arms where supposed to be chained, but I couldn't find any, I do like the interpretation of freedom. Those are supposed to symbolize no matter which arm of Arthur's i cut off one of them is going to be trapped (especially in my interpretation/au)

The hands are reaching for a wolf's jaw because I think Darkthur reaches for violence for comfort. Don't have to worry about morals, if you're irredeemably fucked up, don't have to worry about real world problems if you kill first ask questions never.

The flesh man on the right, is supposed to symbolize his cannibalism, and cannibalistic instinct. This is mostly how Darkthur in my mind is also a representation of the traits that led Arthur to eat Faust.

A fuck ton of blood, since he is known for his violence, and murdering.

The gold blood is supposed to by ichor, the blood of the gods. In most Darkthur interpretations he chops of John's hand, making a god bleed. (in my interpretation/au the ichor is more metaphorical)

Footprints in the background to symbolize the stalking of an animal, he is a hunter.

A gun since that's the only weapon we know he canonically has used.

A knife since, it's a convenient weapon. You can reach for it easily, and it's in a kitchen. a Household weapon designed, and twisted fro violence.

A rusty axe, as a call back to the time a man cut off his own head with a rusty axe. Pure debauched violence

My interpretation/au (emphasis on AU since I don't think this would be canon) for Darkthur is that the arm is still John's. Somehow Arthur got right arm cut off. The difference for others Darkthur's is that he manipulates John to kill people. He promises John that if he kills this person, he'll get the Arthur he loved when they go to bed, or just next time they have a break. Is really is fuckde up toxic yoai in this one. (highkey inspired by In My Room by Insane Clown Posse)

The barbed wire is more sharp stuff, and it's meant to keep stuff out or in. Darkthur is probably more closed off, he doesn't let people in. He also might try to keep his violence inside.
