John: Arthur! He’s bitten into your shoulder, tearing a large piece of meat from your neck!

Arthur: Oh really?! I DIDN'T FUCKING NOTICE

Crossover where Jane Prentiss meets the maggot man from malevolent

Oh to be Yorick and be told by John to shut the fuck up

alright the more I'm thinking about it the more I am completely bowled over by oscar's sheer level of devotion to arthur. this is insane. this man is insane.

you are a priest working at a small parish in new york city. one of your parishioners has been having trouble with some kind of entity and you have been doing your best to help her. a man who calls himself parker and is claiming to be a private investigator breaks into your office. he threatens to go to the police with what he knows. he says you have a drinking problem. he is aggressive, loud, rude, and intimidating. you give him information. he gives you a number to call him at and leaves.

the next time you hear from him is over the phone. he yells for someone to get down and then there are gunshots and someone singing loudly. you do the sensible thing and call the police. they find a man who was severely wounded but alive and take him to the hospital.

the next time you see this private investigator is in a hospital hallway. he looks like shit. his shoulder is crusted over with blood, his hair matted with sweat, eyes wild with panic, and raw and bloody rope marks on his wrists. you tell him where his father is and that you were the one who called the police. he tears up and says you saved his father.

and then he hugs you.

its the hug that changes everything.

you tell him that you believe he's trying to do good in the world and that you want to help as much as you can. he asks you to sit with his father, tells you that someone is after both himself and his father, and doesn't want you to let him out of your sight. and you don't. you don't move when a prolific serial killer presses a knife to the father's throat. you don't run when this so called "parker" and the man he called "the butcher" begin hurling insults at each other. you don't scream or flinch when the butcher asks "parker" to confess to his murders, his sins, right there in front of the whole hospital ward. the only time you do move is when the police officer tackles the butcher, and only then to crack the butcher over the head with a bed pan and save everyone.

all because a rude private investigator with a fake name gave you a hug. fascinating. how absolutely fascinating.

Malevolent spoilers

Holy shit did Arthur fucking die AGAIN?!?

It has come to my attention that people have been using my mspaint doodle as a reaction image- and I'm flattered however I realized I didn't sign it so I made a signed version. Use this one instead please and thank you!!

Drawn while listening to Malevolent, but can apply to a wide variety of horror podcasts or listening experiences. I'll tag a few for safe measure

thanks for reducing the quality to shit, tumblr (click for hd)

based on the kiss by gustav klimt

why is your waist so small, arthur? so other men can grab it??

become so unhinged even the demon in your head says you need to reign it in a bit.

-Yes, you!
