arthur makes me so fucking feral. "i'll die for you but i won't face you and actually try to understand what it is you want" "i want you to honestly own your past and your mistakes but i will punish you for every reminder that you came from those past mistakes" "i don't realize how important i am to you, why would i be important to you?" "my hand is yours, my eyes are yours, you belong in my skin. i hate you for taking my body from me" "you are either a monster or human, and if you do not want total humanity, then you deserve the damnation of monstrosity" "i love you. i am lying to you. can we even recognize each other?"
okay, i promised a mutual some malevolent fanart, so here you go, people. I haven't traditionally done lineart, then colored digitally in a long time and I have to say I really enjoy it, especially now that I understand how to make the colors vibrant
Ultimately, I concluded a Noctowl would fit Mia's 'simple elegance' aesthetic better than Alakazam (which has a somewhat more ornate design), although maybe she still does have one. Noctowl would also be a nice mentor for Phoenix's Decidueye.
As for Godot, I had a bit of trouble, but I guess Luxray's X-ray vision would help with his partial blindness? Their aesthetic is somewhat similar as well. I also avoided giving him any flying-types because 3-5 wouldn't have happened quite the same otherwise.
This season I want John to use his projecting powers/his arm to kill again, but this time I don't want it to be out of hatred, I want it to be out of devotion to Arthur, so devoted he becomes unrecognizable in a way we've never seen before. I want him to become utterly visceral. Out of so much devotion that it doesn't even cross Arthur's mind that this could be remanence of The King in Yellow, John's his own now, I want him to blur the lines between John and something else entirely, something worse. 
I started thinking about darthur and the way choice would vary and one of design choices I made is that he doesn’t have the scar on his face from the dancer because in this universe I don’t think they ever made it to the king and the more I thought about it the more I thought that this Arthur wouldn’t tell John about faroe and if Arthur never mentions faroe episode 18 never happens which means they never end up in the prison pits and isn’t that fucked up.
Wouldn't it be so fucked up if Arthur got Kayne the stone and he gave Faroe back as promised and she was just off, different, not the daughter he raised, not Faroe. That would be soooooo fucked up right
Found a Darkthur sketch in procreate from about a month ago, decided to clean it up the tiniest bit to post. I know this isn’t necessarily the only or the most likely interpretation, but I absolutely love the narrative idea of this Arthur cutting off his own left arm when John gets too uppity.
I dunno abt YOU GUYS. But if IIII eas Arthur?? I would've been SOO mean to John 😞 Arthur is a better man than I. John and I wouldve been fighting the whole fucking time bc PERSONALLY John's little fits wouldve pissed me off 😭
Like. FYM YOUR TRYING TO ERASE MY MEMORY. AND THEN GET MAD AND ME FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT IT????
