It’s Arthur’s birthday, what could go wrong?

Tried to do some lighting and shading :)

[ID:

A drawing of Arthur and John, with a birthday cake on a table in front of them. Arthur is leaning away from the table, startled, with his arm raised to shield his face. He has short auburn hair, yellowish eyes, and a small moustache. He wears a white shirt, brown suspenders and medium brown pants. There is a scar on the corner of his right eye, and his left hand’s pinkie is partially missing, leaving a dark, stick-like protrusion in its place.

John is behind him, and also leaning back, shocked. He is shrouded in a yellow cloak, with yellow eyes and grey sheep horns protruding from his hood.

In front of them, a cake sits of a plate, with a column of fire shooting from the three birthday cake candles. The cake is pale pink.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARTHUR LESTER!!🎉🎉

(it wasn’t supposed to be a celebratory art, but I did finish it in time for his birthday, so-)

The yellow stars symbolise the Order of the Fallen Star, the red marks on the yellow sleeve represent the scars Arthur got, and the fire pattern refers to the lighter

“ough” is such a raw emotion i dont think i could live without it

Okay but when Kayne freezes time to reveal John's deal with him Larson, the Butcher and Noel are just in the background watching.

Like, imagine you are the Butcher who has the bare minimum of context on all of this and suddenly you're frozen, and everyone else is frozen, and a guy just appears beside Arthur and starts monologuing.

Like here is what he just experiences frozen and unable to move:

KAYNE (loudly): So close! 

KAYNE (innocently): John?

KAYNE: And? And!? (Unimpressed.) And what.

KAYNE: Stopped everything? Why, yes.

KAYNE: How!? (He walks as he talks.) How am I supposed to explain that to you? God, you sound just like your little host family here, questioning everything! Some things just happen, Marigold.

KAYNE: Deal? What deal?

KAYNE: Oh, I don’t recall a contract or written word, really.

KAYNE (dangerously): You’ll what? 

 KAYNE: Oh! You know what? I do remember! (Recollecting.) Oh, oh, oh. We did make a deal, didn’t we? First, you were sent back into the King. Right? (Theatrically.) Whole once again! 

KAYNE: It was right after our little crumpet tried to shave his neck with the pointy end. Right? Then… hm. (He sucks air through his teeth.) Then what happened? You don’t remember, do you? 

KAYNE: Yes! You were… well, you were cast out, weren’t you? The King just – well, couldn’t make you fit anymore, could he? (Vigorously.) Too much soul in there! A broken mirror in too many pieces to put together again. (He pretends to cry.) 

KAYNE: Oh, of course! You were changed! A new… man? Entity? Thing? What are we calling you, exactly? (A short pause. Coyly.) Dandelions are yellow!

KAYNE: And so he cast you out! While in his realm, the King still had considerable power over you. Whatever you are. And sent you back to the one place you dared not ever return! (Cruelly.) Isn’t… that… right? 

KAYNE (dramatically): The Dark World! It was scary there, wasn’t it? 

 KAYNE: I mean, scary doesn’t even begin to sell it, but Arty promised he’d never send you back there, didn’t he?

KAYNE (faux aghast): And yet, your little deal had you end up right where he promised you’d never be!? Oh, how infuriating that must’ve been! (He laughs maniacally.) Oh. You would’ve done anything to get out again. Wouldn’t you? But first! You had to sink a little lower. Didn’t you? 

Time moves differently in the Dark World, doesn’t it? You didn’t just give up. You… You fell back on your old ways. The King who was trapped there before all of this… it was only when you were truly defeated that you called to me. (Abruptly.) Begged for me! The things you did for me to make this deal… (Shudderingly.) Ooh! 

KAYNE: But you got out. How did it feel, lying to Arthur this whole time? Not being able to tell him why you were coming here and … where you came from.

KAYNE: Not true! (Insolently.) Matthew had a choice! 

KAYNE: Absolutely! That little rapscallion let it slip, didn’t he? I told him to keep a tight, heavy lid… if Arthur knew that I wanted him here, he wouldn’t do it! But… could he keep that to himself? Hardly!

KAYNE (snidely): Well, because he made his choice.

KAYNE: His to make! And you made yours, my King. And you… (Pleased.) Mm! Fulfilled our deal. In a manner of speaking.

 KAYNE: And? And you were released from the Dark World! (Dramatically.) Contract fulfilled! (A conjuring effect, the rustle of paper, and pencil scratching.) See? 

KAYNE: So now… you and Arthur can leave! (Bad cockney accent.) England, was it? (Normally.) No more secrets between the two of you.

KAYNE: I mean… I said I stopped them from moving, Johnny, but his ears still work. 

KAYNE: Am I wrong, Archie? (He snaps his fingers.)

ARTHUR (in horror): You…

Butcher: ...

A talk with mom

was about to make a "gay people can never flirt normally" post about arkayne but realized kayne does actually.

-"my love" and similar: self explanatory. normal flirting

-giving him a dagger: shiny trinket like crow. kayne's not the one who decided to stab himself with it

-helps with his wound in coda and probably also part 28

-watches his entire life in this and thousands of other timelines: he wants to know more about arthur. normal crush behavior probably

-writes and directs a christmas special starring one of those other arthurs: creative expression. like a journal to him i think.

-sends his enemy to hell, kills his enemy-turned-half-situationship, and sends his other situationship to spain (?): he just wants some alone time is that really too much to ask

-plays him a song on the piano :)

-sends him on a fetch quest to the 1200s: he got nervous idk. don't we all

oh, how i love you, kayne malevolent

You walk around with your hands clasped behind your back to look smart

I walk around with my hands clasped behind my back because I'm holding hands with the voice that lives in my head

We are not the same

i truly think we've survived the darkest parts of arthur and john's tumultuous relationship. i think the cycle of tearing each other apart and making up is finally over.

the way they interacted all through season 5, and just their overall dynamic, plus with yorick in the mix - it seems so much more mature, yk? they're actually communicating, they're not blowing up at each other every time they get angry. they haven't verbally flayed each other alive even ONCE. and even when they did argue, it never felt quite so mean-spirited as in the past.

it really feels like they've grown, and honestly? i'm glad! the divorce/remarriage thing could only go on for so long before it started to get old, and i'm glad they seem to have settled into a new normal!

FUCK YOUUUUUUU *sobs*

So you know when Kayne is dunking John about his name in the Order Part II while comparing Larson and Arthur?:

KAYNE: God, you are so… unremarkable! Worthless, really. You know, I don’t hate many humans, but you – (He growls.) Look at him! I mean! Look at him! Look at Arthur. John – I mean, look at John! (Scathing.) John! What kind of Great Old One calls himself fucking John, for fuck’s sake! Do you not get it?

LARSON (quietly): No.

KAYNE: And you never will. You are nothing like Arthur! You still have your sight, for fuck’s sake! Actually… let me help you with that.

So I actually think Kayne is delighted that John goes by John. I think what he's trying to express here to Larson is why Arthur is interesting compared to him.

Arthur has an entity in his head. After a little more than a month (of which a month worth was spent in a coma) the entity calls itself John. Arthur reinforces this chosen identity.

Yellow, although having a rocky path with Arthur did have his moments of questioning things. He was interested in poetry and philosophy, and it's implied he might have had some of John's residual memories when John and the King came back together before John was thrown into the dark world. Arthur fumbled, but if they had been stuck together long enough there were signs there might have been growth. (Kayne didn't need that growth though and canceled the Arthur and Yellow reboot.) Also it seemed like Larson knew about the entity and was trying to put a wedge between them as soon as they met. From the start he appeals to Yellow's inclination toward power and godhood.

Larson has Yellow for a few weeks and he becomes the King in Yellow. Yes he gets some stronger abilities, but he has been completely encouraged to see himself as only a god. Larson is obviously manipulating him and they are not friends just mutually beneficial.

So you give Arthur a piece of the King in Yellow he becomes John. You give Larson a piece of the King in Yellow and he becomes the King in Yellow. Larson and Arthur are not the same.

And that's why Kayne finds Larson boring. He doesn't effect change, he just keeps doing what he needs to for power.

I'm not trying to pin all of John's character growth on Arthur. John had to develop for himself, but Arthur is a big proponent of why that character growth was allowed to happen.

So yeah. Kayne can make fun of John and also absolutely delight in it.

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

do you see my vision

John and Arthur's relationship is like a bonded pair of cats at a shelter in that you cannot seperate them. But also they will bite each other as soon as they're in the same room and that might be how they show affection
