Praying For Lilith To Have Been Lilly The Nurse So I Can Retroactively Care About John's Connection With

Imma be honest with yall. Call me uncultured but I've never heard of 'Ride Him, Cowboy' before, and it sounds like a gay porn title. Don't you dare tell me it doesn't because it does. Like, "Ride Him Cowboy", are you fucking kidding me. I raised an eyebrow so so high when I heard it in episode 50 and was very reluctant to google it because what if that's something Harlan made up for the lolz and I'll just have google give me a bunch of porn.

Grabbing new malevolent fans by the shoulders. DONT SKIP CODA. I know if the title doesn’t include a number to indicate an episode you might think it’s skippable a la benevolent but IF YOU SEE A MUSICAL WORD DO NOT SKIP. IN THE MUSICAL MOTIF HORROR SHOW THE MUSICAL WORD ONES ARE VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE

Arthur: *on the ground in literally 7 pieces, bloody and whimpering*

Me, a listener who has experienced 52 episodes of this man dying and undying repeatedly: *sighs* DUDE GET UP

Who would win?

Literal gods and creatures from other worlds

or

One (1) blind man and his personal narrator he has an on off relationship with?

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.

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating:
