Malevolent Weak Minds Theory

During first season, the king was able to exert a sort of passive influence over the people around John and Arthur to make them go crazy and attack them in a rage.

This seems to stop in the later seasons, with Arthur saying he thinks the King gave up and isn't after them anymore. No one else flies into a manic rage in Arthur's presence.

However, there is a different emotion that characters seem to feel very strongly out of nowhere.

Oscar, whose only previous experience with Arthur was being threatened by him, trusts Arthur enough to tell him about his traumatic backstory and is literally calling Arthur "his purpose" within two days of meeting the guy.

Noel immediately trusts Arthur despite hearing him mere minutes ago admit to "at least" seven murders.

The Butcher literally says he falls in love with his victims and switches to Arthur's side after Arthur got him jailed and prodded at his Daddy issues.

I think the people around Arthur are still being influenced... but not by the King in Yellow; They're being influenced by John.

John's emotions for Arthur are literally spilling out and effecting those around him to trust him and seek guidance and tell him what a great guy he is, that he's special and amazing. It explains why so many different people and entities get immediately obsessed with Arthur after just one meeting. It's because John is obsessed with Arthur.

And you call it madness... ah, but I call it love.

love how goethe’s faust is like i am so hungry. i have been shoveling the ashes of the world into my belly searching for a crust of bread, stupidly searching, killing myself for a world that does not have bread anymore. since there is no bread, let mephistopheles bring me gold to eat. let him chop silver into salads and boil diamonds for my soup, and let me live like that until the day i am full—that is to say, let me live forever. and then marlowe’s faustus is like 24 years of demon boyfriend sounds good to me. does it sound good to you? it sounds good to me

hamlet isekai is set in the heat of the reformation so here are the characters’ religions:

fortinbras: lutheran on paper, but he was raised to see his religion as a political tool and has no real connection to it. has no personal relationship with god

laertes: devoutly lutheran. hates people who use their religion as a personal tool and have no personal connection to it. has no personal relationship with god

ophelia: obsessively catholic. she was trained to have religious ocd. wants a personal relationship with god, is almost incapable of one because of it

reynaldo: obsessively catholic. he will get polonius to love him at all costs. has a personal relationship with god (polonius)

polonius: catholic, then lutheran, then catholic, then lutheran, then catholic. maybe he’ll be lutheran again, let’s see what this new king wants

horatio: anabaptist and proud!!! believes in it 100%!!! has no personal relationship with god

hamlet: catholic on paper. the royal family was nervous about sending him to wittenberg because they thought it would make him lutheran, and they were right

old hamlet and claudius: catholic. their father usurped the throne of denmark with catholic backing and they’re not giving up that support base, since they don’t have much other support

old fortinbras and his brother: PROUDLY lutheran. they need all the support they can get against the danish threat, and the increasing number of lutheran danish aristocrats are their best bet

gertrude and polonius’s wife: devoutly and secretly calvinist, among other things. long story

Modern au Malevolent but like..the only thing that changes is that Arthur wears earbuds or something so people think he's one of those assholes that have loud phone conversations in public

[literallylink--who-tf-is-ravioli]

"Are you suddenly blind and in need of guidance? Take this man for example, this sad lonely man with no will to live..then he bought our ai glasses and now he's happier than ever! He talks to his everyday, you can customize the name and everything! Here's an example"

"John, is there anyone around us?...Hey! Stop recording me!"

"John, tell me what we're seeing."

"A lot of people are glaring, one woman is looking at you like you personally ruined her life for talking around her in public."

"*sigh*.. Great."

All the taxi drivers are Uber drivers who just learned to mind their fucking business after a few odd rides

i feel sooooo hypocritical complaining about how much anglophone scholarship into early modern denmark does so through the lens of shakespeare’s hamlet because i am also doing all this research just to talk about shakespeare’s hamlet. but come on guys. how am i supposed to make laertes a period accurate lutheran if you don’t tell me what the fucking printing press situation was in copenhagen immediately prior to christian iv’s reconstruction and reforms :(
