toxic one-sided mlm ship where one of them is just a regular guy and the other is a non-human FREAK with an obsession who kinda wants to kill him (and he probably does at one point).

Grace: So, you’re a private investigator.

Arthur: And you’re a high school teacher.

Grace: You were kicked out of your usual environment.

Arthur: Yeah. But in return, you met an alien.

Grace: One, you can’t imagine life without now. Yeah.... something like that

Grace: had to teach him humanity.

Arthur: A little bit, yeah.

Grace: Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, mr. Arthur Lestre.

Arthur: It’s a pleasure, Mr. Grace.

.....

Rocky: A new alien? question?

John: Arthur, there's a talking stone with legs here. It's squeaking something

....

Grace: Oh, and what about that scar on your neck? Sorry for asking.

Arthur: was ready to give my life for it, you understand. It’s a long story.

Grace: Oh, almost the same thing, look

Arthur: I can't

Grace: Oh, yeah, sorry

Honestly, full appreciation for Martin Blackwood. He's an openly gay man. He's fat. He starts the series with with a timid demeanor that he grows from and becomes for confident. He writes bad poetry for no one but himself. "Sorry, can't hear you. There's a door in the way" KING. The world ended, and honestly, he took it VERY well. Dug an evil worm out of his crush's leg with a corkscrew. He loves tea.

[johnknowswhathedid]

We love the way Martin Blackwood is written. Because he's a fat and he's gay. Two things that are incredibly easy targets for bullying. And through out all of the mistreatment Martin endures, it's never about that. Sure, he gets a few stabs about his feelings for Jon, but that's because he loves someone who mistreats him, not because he loves a man

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to be a stressed-out middle-aged podcast protagonist entangled in horrors beyond his comprehension

[that-is-a-name]

In part 46, Arthur talks about how as a child, he was jealous of his first best friend because of how his father dotted on him, so he snatched the toy his father made him and burned it

Then Arthur, seconds after praising John’s work, called it cheap because John mentioned that he was struggling with writing music

His action as a child, while cruel, can still be justified and even pitied as a child's envy of another who has everything he wanted, and he was too young with no guidance

But then he grows up, and you see that he's the same envious boy who's willing to hurt others who have things he doesn't. And in John’s case, it's not even something he was granted, it's a hobby and a talent that is very human at its core, and completely inspired by Arthur. And Arthur, jealous, drags him down and throws a cheap shot at his confidence.

While I hate this part of Arthur’s character, I'm also really glad that it's there. Harlan didn't decide that after the events of Malevolent Arthur would become a wise, perfect protagonist. Nope, he's still full of flaws, and while his character developed, it didn't really change. He's still the same man, but at least now he's trying.

He'd tell John he's proud of his work instead of letting their friendship die like he did with William.

Arthur Lester, after being cut open for the 50th time, falling down his third hole of the day, and dislocating his shoulder again: "This is it, John. This is the end for me. I'm dying, I'm dead. Leave me. You're better off without this rotting flesh prison."

Arthur Lester, five seconds after hearing John improvise some poetry: "This is what life is all about, I'm alive! Smell the air and feel the sun on our skin, John. Miles to go before we sleep!"

I need him to go to a doctor or two

[disasterpigeon]

Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.

Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’

To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’

The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’

We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.

This is beautiful

[sillybillytime]

Being trans is like being given a house that sucks. The pipes are leaky and the wallpaper is so ugly and the beds are lumpy and you feel uncomfortable every time you set foot in there.

Everyone else seems to really like their houses though, and you can’t see inside of them, so you just assume that you’re being weird.

And then you hear about the construction project that’s happening down the road. And you didn’t know that was an option. You can just…fix your house? It can be better? You don’t have to live with the horrible lighting and weird furniture?

But other people scoff at the construction. They complain about the noise. “Why can’t they just be happy? The plumbing is great and the furniture is so comfortable! Why would you change it? And why do we have to deal with all their issues anyways? They could just do it quietly, away from us!” And you thought everyone hated their houses, at least a little. And it’s so much work to renovate. It’s fine in your house. It sucks, but it’s fine.

Then one day you try putting up a new painting. Something small. Just for you. Just to try it. And it feels like you. It feels right. And you didn’t know anything felt that good, ever. So you start to do more. And more. And eventually you might even start construction. And it’s inconvenient, and loud, and people complain, but you didn’t know that it could feel good to go home.

And then, one day, your renovations are done. And you get to have a home like everyone else. And that joy you felt looking at that painting? It’s everywhere now. And it’s normal.

It’s hard to build the home for your soul all on your own. But it’s worth it. It’s so worth it
