Kayne's Collage!!
His playlist, and collage reasonings below the cut
the piano keys on either side of the collage, show the key placements of Faroe's Waltz (thanks @morbid248) a completely non-diegetic (the characters can't actually hear it) aside from one time Kayne played a short section of it. This idea is inspired by The Final Fantasmagorie video on the music of Malevolent. The piano is glitching since it's suppose to also symbolize the other universes, and how Kayne has control of them.
Glittery smile stickers, for his constant humour, and extremely enthusiastic demeanor.
Dance steps, since he's constantly moving, and in some ways he's dancing with Arthur and the narrative.
The hand with the coin, is a symbol of his coin, the one that summoned him.
The bloody censored hand is because he's a gorey guy.
the cards, and dice, is a tribute to the fact he put a wager on Arthur & John, he likes the gamble, and uncertainty. And the gamble of the Patreon votes, that he references
The gold dagger, is the one he gave Arthur.
the trippy duplicated faces in the background are for his general chaos, and that Nyarlathotep is referenced as The God of Many Forms, he has millions of faces
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.
