yknow what minor transient detail abt s4 is fun to me? prior to john's reveal, noel apparently assumes the KIY to be a totally unfamiliar character to them both. he pauses his story to give background info on him ("he rules the dreamlands, he's a master manipulator, etc") in a way he doesn't with other stuff. he points out yellow like "that's the bitch btw. if you were curious." which is. like he knows they were in the dreamlands. i think he knows or at least assumes they were in the pits for a while given they ran into lorick. what does he think they were doing there. just. passing through??

#the nemesis speaks #mv liveblog #malevolent spoilers #like it's not SUCH an unreasonable assumption especially with arthur doing his level best to Not React in a way that will draw suspicion #+ lorick says the KIY doesn't even know he's down there so you can get to the pits by other means #but like. not just to have not directly interacted with the king but to be completely unfamiliar with him as a concept?? ?#that i feel would strike him as kind of odd. what does he imagine is up with them.#i would pay money for a genuine cards on the table conversation btwn them all that doesn't happen at gunpoint #relatedly a lot of The Order is fun from noel's pov #the point where arthur has to hard stop to remind john where they are and what's happening for one.#and he's just gotta be like hm. okay. that's. deeply concerning but i don't think we have time to get into it right now #also the part where art starts addressing yellow as. well. ''yellow.'' like making it obvious they know each other already #i just think it's funny that noel still doesn't know shit fuck about what's happened in the rest of the podcast #but now he's finding out apparently arthur's had two totally separate fragments of the king in his head at different points? and he's fine?#and one of them has beef with him?? and he's talking DOWN to it?? he's... apologizing for... fucking up... raising..... it....?? ? ?#round of applause for noel's ability to Just Roll With It everyone #like god. he thought he was facing down with the all-powerful source of ten years of hardcore trauma #and then arthur's just like. every fragment of the king in this room answers to me. i'm gonna antagonize one of em into manifesting #just for the hell of it. just so i can have a lil chat. because i can do that easily and with zero fear of repercussions.#hi fragment of the Fucking KIY that i gave a stupid nickname and apparently feel some kind of responsibility for.#what do u think noel thought abt that. i feel like he probably thought it was kinda hot #hm. these tags are getting away from me a bit. this is kind of me liveblogging a transcript reread. i'm gonna stop now
