#brown Arthur Lester

[coffin-hopping]

it’s official y'all are getting brown Arthur Lester irl when i cosplay him this year💪💪💪

this is so incredibly niche (because I’ve seen it literally once lol) but as a brown man I am in love with the hc of brown Arthur Lester

I love when he is drawn, written, or thought of as brown. I love when people take a deeply flawed man who has caused hurt and has hurt himself in the process, but is still given dignity by the narrative. the dignity that is being able to grow and show compassion and love while also being loved. and I love when that dignity is extended just as much to a brown man. when that love and sympathy is extended to a brown man. when that dignity isn’t denied of him just because he’s flawed

He's doing so fine ❤️

John's favorite color is gold but not because he used to be the king but because its now the color of Arthur's eyes

GO TRAUMATIZED BOY GO

alright. i know the pretty much accepted fandom standard for arthur (specifically when john has his eyes) (or john in human form as well) is gold eyes. i love it! genuinely!!

hear me out.

dark eyes. darker than the black behind the stars, darker than imagining. even a prolonged inspection couldnt show where pupil meets iris, not that arthur is often still enough for that sort of thing. its the kind of darkness that things hide in, the kind that makes you feel like things are looking back. dark enough that you are prey. dark enough that you have to look away after a moment. eyes like a hole in space has been centered in the whites of them, absorbing all light. his eyes are always moving, scanning, searching, hunting? no, that cant be quite right, he speaks like a gentleman and looks far too thin to do any kind of harm. but at the same time, he is littered in scars and youve never quite seen eyes like that on any living thing before, let alone a fellow human. his eyes are so dark.

Compiling my various Arthur's over time

[patheticbatman]

I imagine Arthur looks like my Professor. But with a little mustache. I haven’t a clue why.

[coffin-hopping]

it’s kinda shitty rn but here’s a bit of my Arthur cos!!! there’s a lot more pieces to the actual outfit but I didn’t have enough time to get them on, I had a rlly cute trench that didn’t make it into this one

anyways, that man will be brown today💪‼️

some arthur sketches, in various levels of detail and stages of completion . still trying to get a grip on how i wanna draw him exactly but i think this is it?

[princess-earthquake-the-third]

I don't have a clear image of how Arthur or John look in my brain but I absolutely think that Arthur has the brownest brown eyes to ever brown,but they turned bright yellow when he got possessed.

(John gets his brown eyes and he looks like a shadow with brown doll eyes)

sooo i hear you finished malevolent

indeed i did!! holy shit!!! it was amazing! and now i can finally unblock the “Malevolent spoilers” tag!

various thoughts (i have many but here’s a handful):

listening to the first episode, after John asked Arthur to look in the mirror and said he had the demeanor of someone not to be fucked with, i thought “…i’m sorry but no. this man is a sad wet cat. get him a warm blanket”

speaking of part 1, i was listening to it in the backseat of a car with headphones in so that was a game of turning up the volume to hear dialogue over the road sounds and turning it down to not demolish my eardrums when John shouted

by the time i was wrapping up part 4, i started to wonder if “John Doe” was a name the fandom made up for him, but when he explained to Arthur that he really liked the name and wanted to be called that…my heart absolutely melted. can you tell John’s my favorite? he’s my favorite :)

the one bit where Arthur is asked questions directly tied to everything that had happened since being bound with John? fucking impeccable. i would’ve said “ohh shit” aloud if i weren’t in public at the time

at some point i saw a post about someone taking an empty wrapping paper tube and mimicking John’s “Arthur!”

i tried it

it very much worked

i was promptly ecstatic due to this revalation. the tube wasn’t empty but it still worked great lol

speaking of John’s “Arthur!,” the way his tone shifted from part 1 vs part 28 still makes me emotional. holy shit

Kayne! what a guy. motherfucker. i had glimpsed some fanart of him eating popcorn or something before reaching part 28 so when i heard crunching in the background of That Part i was just like “ah. that’s why. Goddammit.” he’s a lot of fun and i like him a lot

ough hearing Yellow alongside Larson. Fear. excitement for what that means for the story, but also Fear.

during my binge i was working on a lego set i got for Christmas, of the house from Home Alone, and i legitimately nearly cried while hunched over that lego set when Arthur played Faroe’s Song right before John came back

and speaking of John coming back! Kayne said he had some sort of ulterior motive! what the heck! i haven’t seen much in the way of theories yet but John’s slip-up about being gone for a long time, i definitely don’t think he’s telling the truth. that said, i don’t think he wants to hurt Arthur in any way. especially considering he was trying his damndest to save him during that entire conversation

the piano strings guy. holy shit. what was he called? the butcher? absolutely terrifying, and now he’s coming after John and Arthur. fun!

the dynamic between Arthur and John is incredible. not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (*vague gesture in their direction that does not explain what the third thing is*). they’re just Them. not to mention i nearly cried over the fact that before John named himself, when he and Arthur still didn’t like each other, Arthur still took to calling him “friend.” i’m shaking them like a pair of glowsticks.

absolutely cannot wait for part 29. i’m so excited to see where this story goes.

Here's an updated Arthur design too I spose

[ID: A digital illustration of Arthur Lester and John Doe of Malevolent, drawn from the waist up, facing the camera. Arthur holds his lighter in one hand, which casts his face in warm light, while his left hand, John's hand, protects the flame. John is a visage of color and abstract shapes wrapped around Arthur. A few small black tendrils creep in from the corners around Arthur's body.

Character designs: Arthur is a thin, pale man with short, straight brown hair, a thin mustache and beard, who wears a white button down shirt and grey suspenders. He has a slashing scar across his throat. He looks right ahead at the viewer with lidded eyes that are bright gold.

John is a non-corporeal figure cast in splotches of yellow and black, filling the darkness around Arthur in the loose form of a hooded figure with asymmetrical eyes appearing from beneath the hood. Around their shared hand, the skin is darkened grey, and a larger dark tentacle wraps around it. End ID.]

Thank you for the ID @\coulson-is-an-avenger
