Re Listening To CHNT For The Like 7th Time Makes Me Realise That If Arthur Lester Met Sydney He’d Consider

I have a lot of thoughts about John Doe and fear

Everything from his secrets, to his anger, to his narration, to his more self-contained and tangible irrational childish fears. I have lots of thoughts about all of it. John Doe is terrified, All The Time

He lies and gets defensive when he's ashamed, he shouts and curses and gets verbally abusive and goes on villain monologues when he feels trapped, he gets spacey and lost in describing all the gruesome details when he's freaked out and overwhelmed, he narrates things to Arthur that he obviously already knows are happening when he panics, and he's scared of the dark. He also has trust issues, and sees any living being as a potential threat, even if it's just a deer or an owl. This guy is a bundle of fear

this was the most malevolent core malevolent episode ive ever had the honor of listening to. men are murdered. arthur gets chased around. arthur falls into a pit. arthur is sick and dying. john gives him a pep talk. they fight off a monster together. they confess their undying love. they are given a SIDE QUEST!!

Just occurred to me that Kayne would probably be the one saying that, he’s watching his life like a movie, but for a second time and he knows what is gonna happen

Malevolent AU where everytime there’s foreshadowing there’s a whispering voice, that only Arthur can hear that just says “well, about that” or “foreshadowing be like” and every time Arthur just stares at The Invisible Camera like

*insert visibly scared and concerned expression*

can we talk about Arthur's new homoerotic situationship or whatever he had with Lord Everatt or...

Playing with Arthur Lester like a Barbie (dressing him up, doing torture methods the Spanish Inquisition would balk at, making him scissor with other Barbie’s)

my biggest headcanon (?) about Arthur Lester is that he is not usually this absolute tank of a human being, he just has a really extreme survival mode. so I imagine when all of this will eventually be over and he'll feel safe enough to do so Arthur will go back to an average, human amount of whining and John will be. oh so confused.

slow day at the office? Arthur will be like "god I am so hungry" and John, having seen him be literally starved to almost death and barely complain about it, will go "?????? omg are you ok????"

Arthur is the kind of guy to act like he's dying for a mild fever and then as soon as something actually serious happens he immediately goes "I am absolutely fine let's not talk about this ever"

or maybe I am just projecting my own stuff on him.

I think I need to crush Kayne's windpipe tear him open and feast on his artificial flesh that is a twisted mockery and abomination to mortal life itself.

For the warmup doodle ideas, can we get a tiny Yorick? Maybe John yeeting him out of a window or something similar

I smash brothered him I hope that's okay

This was episode 51 btw.
