Okay some of these I had written down before chapter 43 but I finally found the time to sit down and make a bingo sheet for the last few episodes. Ranging from Legitimate Predictions to Things I Want to Happen to You Know What? Sure 🤠

Well it looks like they do, in fact, have to put up with this shit back in glottage after all

John "worried wife" Doe, confessed his love for Arthur "stubborn husband" Lester, and it was reciprocated without either of them getting taken by super hell.

Besties, if he wanted it to, he would.

As an ace person, platonic love is so, so deeply important to me. And for Malevolent to do it so well genuinely makes my chest swell. I keep listening to Season One and how their relationship is this shakey, fragile thing full of manipulation and rage and resentment but there's a seed there of understanding and warmth and compassion. The fact that John and Arthur have fought tooth and nail against each other, to the point of trying to kill each other, only to then die for each other. To hold each other and pull each other back from their darkest moments, looking to them as a rock to hold them steady. And then to see that love fully blossom in Season 5, where Arthur holds back his anger ("I would have forgiven you.") and where John screams and rages and protects Arthur with everything he has. "My love for Arthur saved me," he says. "I choose you," he says.

They love each other so deeply, and it's a love that's just as equal and valued and warm as romantic love. Platonic love at this level is possible, and to see it so beautifully executed in a horror medium has me choked up.

“Look at this man through the eyes of that mask, what do you see?”

[evil-but-refined]

I cannot keep doing this

Do you think that John was holding Arthur's limp hand while he was talking to him after killing the witch? I think he was. Though if it was an attempt to comfort the dead or an attempt to comfort himself I don't think even he would know
