Okay so i agree that Arthur kissing his John's hand is very romantic but every time that i see fanart of this exact (not-cannon) scenario, I cannot help but think that this is propably the first time in forever Arthur showed some compassions towards his own body

And the fact that he is able to do that only when it doesn't belong fully to him makes the kiss a bit bittersweet

if you all will allow me to overanalyze and ramble nonsensically for a minute, but my first instinct wrt arthur saying "our name" is, like. it feels like a degradation of his own individual identity. or a dissociation between himself and his name, and body, and everything that anyone other than john uses to identify him. sort of an extension/conclusion of the way he identifies his body or possessions as belonging to the both of them, even in contexts where that doesn't strictly make logical sense.

like, ok. lemme try to put it into words. john has his own name, obviously. i don't think arthur would ever lay claim to john doe. at least, not without that being immediately being recognized by both of them as a massive overstep. that's a separate identity, a separate person. but arthur lester is the name associated with their body. i mean, that's why he expects it would be on the headstone. and in general, whenever anyone says "arthur," tries to have a conversation with him, they are also, consciously or no, speaking to john. so john has some claim to the name arthur lester in the same way that arthur has ceded some of the ownership of his body, in order to make space for him to exist in. it's their name because it's a joint identifier for an entangled existence.

which is further interesting, because it seems to imply that arthur has less of an identity than john does. john exists under a part of this shared name, but arthur is no part of john doe. like a further reflection of all of the things that have been carved away from him in the name of surviving.

Please i need more fics like that🙏😭

(If anyone has any fics to recommend i would be so happy lmao)

Thinking about John gets stuck with Noel (and is trying to find Arthur) AUs and realized it fits perfectly with how in arkayne fics John will just get shut up or end up asleep or "is not there" or some hand wavey way to not have John there (I am not criticizing this I love this idea it's a) a fantastic way to have Arthur and Kayne talking alone and also b) emphasizes that yeah Kayne's really powerful did you forget he can put the king in yellow in people's heads for fun? sure he can remove/ pause him too. Great framing device and a way to show the power imbalance).

Instead of John being asleep or something he's just sent out on a playdate with Noel while the adults (a mortal and a malevolent entity) talk. Kayne's sending half of a great Old One to go play with his friend while he tries to seduce/ vivisect/ some secret third thing his best friend/ partner/ head mate/ that rascally human they both like. Really, he's doing John a favor. He gets to hang out with a friend! And Arthur's not having to be a go between! Go out on a date or something! See a movie or whatever you crazy kids like these days!

John, of course, is panicking because Arthur's trapped with Kayne and he's trapped in Noel's head and he needs to do everything he can to not hurt Noel because the King already hurt him so much but also he needs to find Arthur and Noel doesn't need him to describe everything but he needs to talk through things and he's really not having a good time. Noel's also not having a great time because there's another part of the King in his head and he's trying not to think about that and is trying to focus on finding Arthur and not think about how sometimes when John talks - either too soothingly or with too much anger- it sounds like the King.

Arthur's not having a good time either. The only one having a good time here is Kayne, though he is a bit annoyed that no one else seems to be appreciating his thoughtfulness.
