#JOHN COME BACK TO ME PLEASE

[thelosercenter]

just finished malevolent season two help me

[melody-busez]

I hate how there is so many theories about what Yellow actually is cause in my mind there is only one that makes sense... like let's get over them

•Yellow is the ACTUAL King in Yellow

this one just baffles me and I think it sorta got confirmed by Harlan Gurthie?? though I can't find where. let's start with the fact that having Yellow be inherently different or in any way "worse" than John completely ruins his character and storyline, throwing the question of what John would have become had things gone slightly differently out of the window. but setting that aside, there is NO way Yellow is the same kiy we've seen in s2. I refuse to believe it. plus, I know that trusting Kayne's word is dumb but he's very rarely outright lied and would have had no reason to do it in that situation, he specifically said that he was going to bring back John without his memories, "a lost and confused PIECE of the King in Yellow", and I don't see why he would have lied especially cause no one seemed to bring it up. ALSO Yellow remembers the Dark World while the King never went there to our knowledge

0% probability. I hate this theory

•Yellow is what's left of the King in Yellow, like a Kiy minus John

this one is literally the same as the previous one but I've seen many people phrase it like this. still, it would imply either that a) John is actually half of the King, which doesn't make sense cause it was always said/implied that John is a rather small piece of him. I always imagine him like 1/5 of the King? (yes I am at the point of unemployment and malevolent hyperfixation to make kiy fractions. don't mention it) or b) that Yellow is a much bigger piece of the King than John, which again would kinda ruin his whole storyline.

again, 0% cause it's basically the same theory

•Yellow is another piece of the King in Yellow, equal in size.

ok this one kinda makes sense, my only problem with this is that we've seen how far the King has gone to be whole again and I just can't imagine him feeling Kayne literally scoop another part of himself (straight after he kicked out the PREVIOUS part of himself that he raised hell to get back) and do nothing about it. surely we would have heard something from him in s3 and 4 if he actually knew someone ripped him apart and took something from him AGAIN. it's also possible that the King knew just how much more powerful Kayne is and didn't do anything for that reason? still, meh

30% probability simply because it's hilarious to think that the King just keeps losing bits and pieces of himself around and is currently furious about it.

now my favourite and the only one that makes sense in my mind

•Yellow is John, the same exact fragment, with zero memory of his time with Arthur.

this is exactly what Kayne promised Arthur and again, why lie? his deals are in bad faith and always hide something, but he never outright lied. also, it would imply that the actual King in Yellow, still in the Dreamlands, might not even know that there's another fragment of him just walking around on earth, AND it's just so much more interesting to think about how Yellow turned out if you see him as another version of John. it's the whole nature vs nurture argument, John met Arthur while he was relatively doing good and had a whole month in the hospital being cared for. despite everything, John had time and support, the two things Yellow never ever had. Yellow met Arthur at his absolute lowest, who switched on him the second he didn't act like John, and like two days later he was stuck with Larson (i would get homicidal too). John picked up his name and a vague notion of who he wanted to be before he even found out he was the King, Yellow was immediately offered two identities: one that aligned with what he was feeling, and one that didn't, and he clang to the one that made sense.

if everybody keeps this up, soon enough i'll be able to add john walker to my list of most commonly misinterpreted and mischaracterized characters that are actually just metaphors for the military industrial complex. and he'll be the first character on said list that's not from the metal gear franchise

[duckiiieluv]

these two never fail to make me SICK

I am rotating Arthur Lester inside my head so fast.

In Part 31 Arthur admits to not love Bella, describing their relationship as wrong.

We know Bella is a religious woman, her dad is a Freemason after all. In fiction, religion is often linked to purity, absolution and unconditional love and acceptance. Hence, we can deduce that Arthur saw Bella’s love as boundless, forgiving, pure and absolute in his regards… And he felt deep down that it was wrong, that he didn’t deserve it and shouldn’t have even been offered it in the first place.

However, if we go back to Part 28, we have this scene:

Where we find that Arthur is fully ready to accept (dying and) a whole eternity of torture and damnation in the Dark World, as long as his (one and only) friend will meet him there.

It’s insane that he cannot conceive of someone genuinely and unconditionally loving him, but is certain that the only form of affection he deserves must be woven in punishment or suffering.

I think it makes everything about him slowly learning to accept Oscar (a clergyman)’s friendship a whole lot more significant… and makes it a whole lot more painful how he presented it as an offering for the King in Yellow to take away and erase from his memories in Part 40.

Heeeyyy

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

speaking of part 40 this moment at the very end of part 1 also makes me wanna cry a little bit. bc like. he thinks it needs to be said. larson tells them abt the machine's true purpose and john is immediately like absolutely not but he apparently thinks arthur might actually consider it if he doesn't say anything. like part 20 didn't happen and pretty clearly demonstrate how far arthur will go to keep him. augh.

it also feels like it kind of rhymes emotionally with this thread in part 2:

this is almost definitely another instance of john slipping for a bit, but there's that brief flicker of concern that this could be working on him. that yellow's pull is too strong, calls to him and makes him want to be a god again. they're both so afraid that the other might abandon them and i just. sobs

absolutely sucks when youve gone out of your way to watch as many movies as possible and find interviews and read books from your favorite actor and yet all anybody knows about you is the guy who spam reblogs and barks in the tags of pictures of him. its a shame. none of you know i am even less normal than you already think i am

If you aren't reading This Single Dad Coffeshop AU Fic by @awesome-cookies-and-cream ,what are you doing bc it's my favorite

[bambiswhitespots]

I'm so starved for content that the few unreleased tracks and extra melodies in the thw deluxe soundtrack have me sobbing and tugging at my chest hnagAAaaaAaaaAAA listen I just miss this franchise so much itS PAINFUL AAAAAA

[findingcrow]

I really really hope the rangers apprentice movie/show is a show. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take literally whatever I can get!!! But knowing the way the series is written, how the characters develop, just the kinda vibes, it would make more sense for it to be a series yk? Number one, more content, number two, more opportunities to become even MORE attached to the characters, and each book could be a season. If you think about book 1, it wouldn’t make much sense for it to be a movie on its own, at least in my opinion. Like I said, I’ll literally settle for anything, these are just my thoughts
