Kayne and John being trans allegories who hate each other has to be the funniest bit of Malevolent to me.
John got his name from Arthur being a John Doe in a coma for a month, and Kayne I’m pretty sure picked his name on the spot after Arthur asked, and it’s probably meant to be a joke about him literally killing every other version of himself.
Which, you could make a joke about that being his social transition, that’s all I’m saying.
Also Kayne “it’s not about the names we’re given, it’s about the names we choose” Malevolent thinks John’s chosen name sucks and he should have picked a better one. Supporting each other’s transitions but that doesn’t mean they have to be nice about it. Trans on Trans violence.
Started listening to Malevolent about two weeks ago and wanted to throw my design for John in the ring! I'm also going to be working on a design for the King in Yellow later on — my thought is that John has a more cohesive and solid form due to his connection with Arthur. Overall he was a blast to design and I can't wait to do more art.
