[bluejayblueskies]

@ashes-in-a-jar

re this post, arthur's 'kill count' ie the deaths he was directly or tangentially responsible for (including humans and non-humans, in chronological order), with the format:

Name | cause of death (Arthur's relationship to said death)

(it's actually 17 bc i forgot to update the list with uncle after part 26 asdlkgsa)

Faroe | drowned (accidental; died when Arthur failed to check on her)

Parker | choked (not Arthur's fault, but believed to be his fault through ep. 8)

Eddie | shot, choked (technically John, but Arthur contributed)

Truck driver | killed in car crash (Arthur was in the other vehicle involved in said crash)

Kellin | throat slit (self-defense)

Amanda | choked [eldritch edition] (tangential; killed due to Arthur divulging her name to the KIY)

Hound of Tindalos | incinerated (self-defense)

Lighthouse keeper | mauled by a monster (tangential; died because Arthur didn't make a decision/didn't open the door)

The widow | bludgeoned (believed by Arthur to be in self-defense and by John to be less warranted)

The doctor cultist | throat slit (tangential; killed self due to Arthur's presence)

Electric Dreamlands snake | exploded (self-defense)

Abyssal monster | crushed by a rock (self-defense)

Faust | choked + eyes stabbed with thumbs (for survival but by Arthur's own admission, he enjoyed it)

Lilly the buopoth | stabbed (mercy kill)

Himself | stabbed in throat (self-sacrifice to save John; it didn't take)

Matthew | head exploded (tangential; died due to Arthur's questioning)

Uncle (Jack Larson) | stabbed with knife, eyes stabbed with thumbs (revenge killing + projection of guilt about faroe)
