Bloody But Unbowed - Blue

Im probably going to mess around with this pic a bit more and see if it can be rendered a little differently but I’ve been wanting to mess around with a limited palette for a while so this was fun. This isn’t any particular moment in the show just another sort of seasonal vibe artwork.

Image Description: there is a single digital illustration of Arthur Lester and John Doe in the midst of a fight with an unseen opponent. The image is rendered mainly in dark blues and glowing gold eyes and blood. Arthur is wearing a decorative 13th(ish) century tunic with a tear in the chest and stomach. He is crouched clutching his wounds and looking up through his hair which has fallen across his face. His expression is determined and calculating. John is leaning over the top of him, arms either side of Arthur, bestial claws beared threateningly. His expression is a wild glare, sharp teeth grit into a snarl, eyes wide and processing their enemy. His tentacles are wiped up into a roiling frenzy as if trying to create a barrier between their opponent and Arthur.

a talking point i often see when defending the consumption of dark content is that it’s a coping mechanism for those with trauma which is very valid and true but i also want to make this abundantly clear: you can like dark content for no reason. you can enjoy fucked up shit in fiction because it’s enjoyable and entertaining. trauma is not required as a ticket for entry. enjoy your dark content bc it’s fun and sexy and don’t let anyone take that away from you

people really just walk into horror movies and expect them not to deal with uncomfortable things despite the genre being dedicated to discomfort.

i saw so many people complain that lisa frankenstein, a movie where one of the leads is famously a rotting corpse, was too gross for them. when i walked out of nosferatu, i heard people say that the nudity was uncalled for... in a vampire film. nudity? in MY gothic horror?! unheard of!

a LOT of people really need to accept that maybe some genres just aren't to their taste, idk. not every movie needs to be cookie-cutter clean. sexuality is a staple of gothic horror, if not the wider genre horror in General. you don't need to enjoy it, but it doesn't make these things uncalled for.
