John Doe Malevolent - Tumblr Posts

malevolent liveblog time. i hope oscar becomes arthur’s hot priest boyfriend 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Fic Ideas that will not leave my brain, but writing and me don't get along no matter how much I love it.

A fic of Parkthur going through the plot of Brokeback Mountain. Ennis is Arthur, Jack is Parker

Some wolf/dog John story, maybe snapshots of his perspective during particularly canine moments, or he gets a wolf or werewolf body.

Percy Jackson and The Mechanisms crossover. Probably following the vague plot of PJO, and one for Magnus Chase.

Simple cute Parkthur fic, where Arthur is remembering their eventual fall into love, and at the end he meets him again either resurrected or didn't really die. Dancing will be included somewhere

Maybe something from Anna Stancyzk's POV

John meets Parker or/and Faroe, and recounts it to Arthur.

Maybe finishing that one Kunizai fic if I get back into BSD.

I'm having a really hard time with motivation so maybe this will make my brain make me do it. If you wanna write one of these tag me!

I now have to write a new fanfiction since I made the mistake of promising to write something for my friend for their birthdsy

Modern AU malevolent where John Doe is an iPad kid

DOG/WOLF JOHN ANALYSIS!!!!

I’ve been going crazy for this idea. I knew I had to wait until part 41 “The Windmill” came out before I could post this (I am a patron). But now I can!!

First off John is narratively a wolf, but from my knowledge he is behavior wise more doglike. I am not an animal or dog or wolf behaviorist, but that would be sick.

Analysis, and some screenshots of the transcript below :3

So for narratively a wolf: he's one of the first wolves. He was enthralled by the campfire, he wandered closer, he found a human and a human found him. And through necessity he was softened, and tamed. He is no longer the viscous, cruel, arrogant wild thing he was, but a loyal, devoted, sometimes kind, curious thing. He isn't a sweet obedient pup and he won’t, he's in the process of being tamed. He's becoming a domestic wolf.

Now dog behavior: He acts alot like a dog that hasn’t been thoroughly trained yet. Acting out when pushed into a corner, being desperate for attention. He behaves exactly like a dog that doesn’t understand the world. He’s pampered aggressive lap dog, never learned no to bite. Now Arthur is showing him the consequences, he’s teaching him how to behave.

My friend made a good point on fear aggression (I would at then but they don't have Tumblr). Some dogs react really badly when scared, biting and barking. This seems the exact reason he used Faroe against Arthur when he brought Emily up. He wa scared of the consequences so he bit back, and made it worse. He fell back on his violent ways because he doesn’t know anything different.

He’d do anything for his keeper (calling Arthur his owner is weird) make a deal with the devil to come back to him. He’d draw him to safety by his teeth, even if that meant dragging Arthur by the neck. He could never see him loose himself, or die. He’d even give up the luxurious life he used to live to be by his side, and keep him safe.

He latches to ideas and will not let go until satisfied, like a particularly stubborn dog. Even if hi assumptions are childish, especially if they’re childish. He sees a movie advertisement like a dog sees a squirrel. At the same time he’s quick to jump to killing, he sees a threat and bites first ask questions later, ho many times has he seen a threat and immediately demands Arthur kill it?

Like alot of dogs I know he only wants Arthur, he’s slow to trust, and feels jealous easily. Like a dog using their muzzle to get you to pet them, especially after petting another dog. (this is targeted) He doesn’t like Lily, or the bright bug like creature in the caves, he only appreciates Lily after he found kinship. He only trusted Noel after he was able to be known.

In some ways in season 4, John is akin to a dog with owners who don’t understand dog behavior. He has no voice no matter how loud he barks, only getting a reaction when he gets really loud or physical. Arthur doesn’t understand his needs, because they don’t have the means to communicate (a place where they won’t look insane talking to each other)

Just like a child being new to the world, he’s a dog abandoned on the streets after living in pent houses. He’s gonna be clueless and misguided.

Now some specific moments that helped me form this theory/metaphor/symbolization: there's more, but I either can't remember them or they're overarching stuff that can't be simplified with one screenshot

I don't think this is really for Tumblr, since it's a TikTok trend. But I put way too much effort into this for it to be ignored on TikTok, so enjoy this.

@arthur-lesters-right-arm every other post you make is a drawing prompt

(other malev doodles under the cut)

this podcast made me semi-acceptable at drawing hands

i could talk for hours about how francesca by Hozier fits malevolent

arthur and faroe.

Does anybody else restrict themselves to only relistening to Malevolent after a new episode is released, since they know that if not they would just relisten to it over and over again, and that the best time to listen to them? Nope just me? Cool.

Anyway early season 1 John gives mean girl stereotype and here's an old ass doodle I drew of that

I've seen a lot of posts, read a lot of fanfiction, seen a lot of art where Arthur or John are dressed in yellow. Or that John lies the color. I do like John wanting a part of him on Arthur's physical appearance. But I have the personal headcanon, that John fucking HATES the color yellow. He can't stand it, and will intentionally avoid dressing Arthur in any yellow at all, John's day is easily ruined if they're wearing yellow.

It's just a reminder of the wicked, power-hungry deity he used to be. He is ashamed of that past, and terrified of what it means for himself. The color yellow is just another goddamned reminder that he isn't human, and might always be an evil monster.

THE BEST GIFT I CAN THINK OF, HAPPINESS!!!!! Happy Birthday John Doe 🎂🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁

You're happy rn John, but I have an angsty character analysis planned for you >:)

Closeups bellow cutoff

I think it in some respects a parallel of your own relationship with yourself. Even if you're aromantic, or asexual, your relationship with your body and self has some traces of sexuality, and romance. They aren't platonic because you don't platonically love yourself.

I disagree that it's metaphorically huge, and that it's more complicated than other relationships. They just don't have to adhere to society's perceptions of romance, and love. Every relationship if you look into it enough is just as interwoven, complicated, undefinable as Jarthur, it's just overly simplified when put into words. They aren't a couple, they are in a relationship. They love each other in any way that's available to them.

I also don't think they're in possession of the other. I haven't always liked that whole "your mine" thing. They're together, and linked, but not the property of the other. It's solidarity, not ownership.

I need to figure out how to write a post on how I view jarthur.

Yes romantic is a word to describe them- there is romance in there. It’s an element of their relationship that shouldn’t be overlooked. (At least from my perspective) But what they are is past friendship. Past romance. Past any sort of qpr. It’s something much much deeper and I’m not sure if there’s an exact word for it. Their very souls bleed together. They’re not quite complete without the other. They’re two separate beings with different aspirations but together they also make one being.

I think friends, QPPs and romantic partners are just- aspects of the bigger picture. It’s some sort of fourth option that says “yes they’re all of the above and so much more!”

They don’t even seem to want to be separated anymore- especially given that every change they’ve had at it and every time they had been, they fought tooth and nail to stay together as one.

Drew my friends John's!!!

First @jude-began-pestering-you's John!! Their KiY, and fragments have the father, the son, and the holy Spirit symbology.

Mine is the one on the bottom, theirs is on the top

And now @/silliest_sp00ks on tt. They draw John as a octoling.

Same as before mine is on the bottom, theirs is on the top

I was gonna do their Arthur's but I lost motivation, and those seemed harder for whatever reason.

@sunshinecryptid sry it took so long, but you told me to @ you if I posted their Splatoon designs <3

Due to the popularity of petting John here's all them being pet, also mine

I'm reblogging this while dealing with a nosebleed from hell so you better appreciate it!

First Malevolent fanart I've made, will not be the last. I adore their dynamic so much.

(Also this and most of my other art is available as a print, just check out the links in my bio)

MALEVOLENT 43 SPOILERS!!!!

Some liveblogging I did throughout the months (I'm a patron)

The secret fifth option is called I forgor. I can't remember my first reaction, up until the newly released episodes. I do think I was spoiled tho

I Homestucked Them!!!!

I present to you Arthur Lester and Joohnn DoeDoe

I'm currently working on classpect analysi. So far Arthur is Rust, Derse and Void, and John is Gold, Prospit, and Heart

John Doe Collage!!

Regal boy

Reasonings and playlist under the cut

The main centerpiece is a gold birdcage holding a sun, on a pedestal. John is trapped within Arthur.

He is also the sun, a brilliant powerful object. still confined

he puts himself on a pedestal, as does the KiY put him on a different pedestal.

The background is kintsugi, the japanese practice of mending pottery with gold. John is both broken, fixed, and gold

On either side of the cage is a mask, and a crown. Both symbols of the KiY.

The eyes, and hand are from a gorgeous painting, that is very John coded, Eyes by Karl Sisson

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is included, because it has become a staple of the Malevolent fandom, and I find it's a good representation of him.

Two wolves on the left, because in my brain he is very very wolf coded.

He is framed by a gold frame, as a call back to the golden framed mirror that led them to the KiY, and The Dreamlands.

Theirs's bugs on the frame, since I find him very insect coded. I wish I could choose better symbolic bugs, but it's hard to get good images. I do have a poison dart frog, which symbolises his obvious toxicity.
