So you know when Kayne is dunking John about his name in the Order Part II while comparing Larson and Arthur?:

KAYNE: God, you are so… unremarkable! Worthless, really. You know, I don’t hate many humans, but you – (He growls.) Look at him! I mean! Look at him! Look at Arthur. John – I mean, look at John! (Scathing.) John! What kind of Great Old One calls himself fucking John, for fuck’s sake! Do you not get it?

LARSON (quietly): No.

KAYNE: And you never will. You are nothing like Arthur! You still have your sight, for fuck’s sake! Actually… let me help you with that.

So I actually think Kayne is delighted that John goes by John. I think what he's trying to express here to Larson is why Arthur is interesting compared to him.

Arthur has an entity in his head. After a little more than a month (of which a month worth was spent in a coma) the entity calls itself John. Arthur reinforces this chosen identity.

Yellow, although having a rocky path with Arthur did have his moments of questioning things. He was interested in poetry and philosophy, and it's implied he might have had some of John's residual memories when John and the King came back together before John was thrown into the dark world. Arthur fumbled, but if they had been stuck together long enough there were signs there might have been growth. (Kayne didn't need that growth though and canceled the Arthur and Yellow reboot.) Also it seemed like Larson knew about the entity and was trying to put a wedge between them as soon as they met. From the start he appeals to Yellow's inclination toward power and godhood.

Larson has Yellow for a few weeks and he becomes the King in Yellow. Yes he gets some stronger abilities, but he has been completely encouraged to see himself as only a god. Larson is obviously manipulating him and they are not friends just mutually beneficial.

So you give Arthur a piece of the King in Yellow he becomes John. You give Larson a piece of the King in Yellow and he becomes the King in Yellow. Larson and Arthur are not the same.

And that's why Kayne finds Larson boring. He doesn't effect change, he just keeps doing what he needs to for power.

I'm not trying to pin all of John's character growth on Arthur. John had to develop for himself, but Arthur is a big proponent of why that character growth was allowed to happen.

So yeah. Kayne can make fun of John and also absolutely delight in it.

happy to report that gen α is using ‘Elon Musk’ as a derogative as of recent

I have such a deep and profound love for malevolent artists that draw POC John

@icryink Day 3 complete!! :DD

I wanted to add more details but tbh I just wasn’t bothered

(bleeding from my wound) notice anythiung differebt about me ;)

I find it really funny how Elijah scolded Jedidiah for swearing in front of kids even though he dropped an F-bomb like a few minutes earlier. Then again, I would expect that kind of hypocrisy from a cult leader...

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER

tbh im a huge fan of the Jackbox games, and in autumn 24 i delved into the fandom and drew a LOT of ART WITH HOSTS. most of them were with Felicia (as you might have guessed i love MSM a lot…) maybe someday i will dare to post some more of my designs hehe oh and look who's there at the very end of the post… OH IT'S MEE!!:D

*sniffles and wipes eyes* so.. how do we feel about season 2 having a release date now? *laughs hysterically and starts sobbing again*
