Season three Arthur: my body is a temple

Post-dark-world John: [sweating] how do you know about that

Arthur: what

John: what

[charlataninred]

The way Arthur's voice rumbles and echoes along the cathedral walls like he's some god. The way John's is so quiet and smooth. The way he sounds human, voice laid with mistakes and agony and sadness and regret. He's speaking to the god he created in the cathedral he built with tears asking for penance. A small voice compared to the scared and holy body of Arthur. His previous body, hidden under yellow cloth, draped across the throne made of bones. Draped in pain and reverence with his head bowed like Mother Mary at the dead body of Christ. Her beloved. Asking for forgiveness and trying to warm him with her love and her small hands where she could not warm him in his last moments. A god bowing his head in sadness and prayer to the figure he holds dearest in his memories. They're the only thing left of someone he knew. Someone he loved. The bones are cold under his touch. He warms them with his hands, his body, his clothes, praying for sunlight to warm them in a distant future. Just one. Please, at least one.

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.
