FUCK this post and happy birthday Arthur Lester

Y'all know what's better than one limb blog?

TWO LIMB BLOGS

lilith being a narrative foil to john is quite interesting

that whole conversation about lilith's history and entrapment and falling for arthur's humanity is almost exactly what happened to john.

will have to do a thorough relisten to make more points but jesus christ

I wonder– since Lillith specifies that she's the daughter of Nyarlathothep and not Kayne– if Lillith isn't this Kayne's daughter. It's possible that she's the child of one of the other universe's Nyarlathotheps that Kayne killed in becoming Kayne.

Arthur you are blind

"I can see" no Arthur. John can see.

ok listen I know we're shitting on arthur "personally visited one afterlife and has secondhand accounts of at least two others" lester for saying he doesn't believe there's anything after death BUT we have to remember that all this eldritch nonsense is relatively new to him. He is, habitually, a vociferous ex-christian who hates himself and blames himself for the deaths of his family. He doesn't believe that he deserves to see Bella and Faroe and Parker again. He doesn't want to be rewarded with that upon death because then he'll have to come to terms with the possibility that they blame him as well, or, even worse, that they DON'T. That's been his state of mind for probably near on ten years now. He's not gonna shift that cornerstone just because he learned that ghosts are real

and the thing is y'know. arthur being so unwilling to leave anyone behind. really makes you think about the one person he did.

I swear the line "Not all things that are dead are gone and not all things gone are dead" has me in a fucking death grip guys!!! like what does that MEAN?!

This is giving me waaay too much false hope- this is a horror podcast nothing is going to go well for my favs.

"You do what you have to do. I'll enjoy the starlight," says a man who cannot see the starlight to the angry god about to torture him. I'm. augh. ow.

Re: the tags about Arthur in his radical acceptance era:

Ow

Even without the sound cue, we know what (who) he was talking about. But then hearing her song start. ow.

INSANITY that arthur has now canonically referred to kayne as “daddy”

arkayne truthers how are y’all doing ?

Is this really how I find out that there is a new episode

I don't even know how to react, man

oh fuck sorry

That might just be the funniest way anyones ever heard of a new ep

Hate that this is how I also found out about New Episode.

Malevolent has 3 moods

General spoiler warning for Malevolent Arthur Lester lore

I know Malevolent is not meant to be queer media but fucking hell- the very first thing I noticed is the insane levels of 1930s closeted-homosexual vibes Arthur Lester gives off.

This is definitely my history brain kicking in from doing general readings about queer experiences from around 1900-1946 for personal projects but JEEZ. You guys. I can't-

Arthur reads as a hardcore confused closeted gay man to me or at the very least in denial.
