You called it Madness,

Ah, but I called it Love.

- John Doe & Arthur Lester

The devil’s in the details

there is a sick and sadistic part of me that wants the show to end with arthur absolutely despising john. and i truly do mean pure hatred and vitriol

some earlier john sketches

also

it's really funny how the NYPD perp walked Luigi Mangione as an obvious power play so they could pretend they're badasses but instead they just look like they're leading Jesus to the cross

[comes out of my mutuals blog breathless and blood stained] didnt even fidn the . fucking post

I think Aurora ghoulette

Ok i can't be the only one who's uncomfortable with how unanimously Arthur and John (not as much but it does happen) treat anyone they deem to be cultists as just subhuman and unworthy of mercy. Like I think the only time that mindset is challenged was during season 3, and even then it was more of a blanket statement about Arthur's missing compassion.

I don't know, just something about the vicious and unabashedly contemptful way they talk about even neutral or unseen cultists is really gross to me. Like yeah yeah it's become sort of a running gag in the fandom but it's a little unsettling to watch a protaganist leave people to die horrific deaths on the basis of being part of a religious group. And don't say "oh but they've killed and maimed!" He let Collins out of prison to work with him and employ his services as a reputably brutal and talented hitman who enjoys the hunt with zero qualms.

I'm not saying all the cultist characters are good people, but for a story with an axis of forgiveness skewed heavily in favour of characters who have commited cruel and gruesome violence against other people, it's seems like a weird line to draw so firmly
