My part of the Malevolent Big Bang event, an illustration for The Essence of a Soul by Calamitatum! The fic is very hurt/comfort and very much my vibe. Check it out!

Image ID and zoom-ins under cut

[ID: The image is in a portrait orientation, depicting the corner of a room with a smeared chalk pentagram on the ground. Arthur is on his back over the pentagram, his back arched and hands clawing toward his chest, seemingly in pain. Above him are two figures: John and a skeletal beast creature.. John is a shadowy being in a golden cloak with clawed hands and an abstract face with glowing yellow eyes. His entire being is a gradient of dark blue to purple and then pink, dotted with multiple stars. The skeletal beast is facing John and snarling. Its skull is almost canine, its teeth stretched outward and jagged. Its bones are jagged and protruding at its spine, and its ribs are showing at its torso. The bottom of its legs fade into shadow.

I signed up for the Malevolent Big Bang again, and this year I got to do art for Eyes Only For You, a post-Malevolent Season 4 au fic written by the phenomenal @shadowy-dumbo-octopus!! Be sure to check this story out, it's absolutely gorgeous and Posi deserves it!

(Holy shit this fic is so good. It's so scrumptious. I fuckin CRIED. I was on the FLOOR. And there's over 100K words of it!!!!)

I couldn't pick just one moment from the story to adapt into a comic, so I didn't - I picked three! I'm very happy with all of them!

I also got to work with my fellow artists @chaocorvus, @michaelshelley36, and @earlymorningfoxhunt on a collab piece included in the fic itself! Be sure to also check out the art they did for this story! They're all so amazingly talented and I had a great time working with them! Thank you so much to them and Posi for being such wonderful partners!

And thank you to @malevolentbigbang for making this event possible!

[ID: A recreation of "Relativity" by by M.C. Escher. It includes multiple iterations of Arthur and John in a room made of seemingly nonsensical corridors, rooms and stairs. They're alternatively walking, sitting, and waiting. /End ID]

The time has come!!! In Wanting to Silence Any Song, my fic for the Malevolent Big Bang event is out and finally getting its tumblr post!!! (uni's kicking ass. My ass.) It's a season three and season four alternative storyline, though nobody's going to Spain this time.

Stumbling through the depths of Addison, Arthur is accompanied by a new voice guiding him on his path. Yellow, who in this story, remains in his head. They are forced to pave a new way forward, confronting the inner demons the other one invokes in them. Is there a chance for Yellow's humanity, or will the darkness of the mining town devour them both?

Far away in his flat in New York, Charlie Dowd wakes up to a morning that would uproot his carefully rebuilt life. The King in Yellow returns, although he now calls himself ‘John’. Charlie sets out to defend himself, not realising their goals might align. How long can he keep looking for answers before they come looking for him? This is for all the Yellow fans out there, I know y'all long for a better life for him!! I bring thee nourishment! Bonus point: You'll get to be extremely normal about another of Robert Frost's poems. The fic was brought to life by the wonderful art from @samglyph and Quill, and by @physical-manifestation-of-spite 's attentive betaing!! Thank you guys so much for this <3 I am still only just progressively realising that it's. Actually done, and out, after all those months!! And thank you to @malevolentbigbang for the event. I've pushed myself to write more and better than I would've dreamt otherwise! It was great fun to be apart of the event.

Now excuse me I need to go cry :'3

[ID: A seven panel comic.

First panel: Arthur sitting with a bottle of whiskey in hand. Arthur: "Lighten up, John!". John: "I will 'lighten up' when you stop wandering around blind and drunk!"

Second panel: A close up of Arthur's drunken face. Arthur: "'m not blind.'"

Third panel: Arthur sitting up, patting the back of John's hand fondly. Arthur: "'ve got you."

Fourth panel: Arthur rolls his eyes, hand on John's. John: "Oh, that's fine then. Never mind that we've died four times in this town already, and you're drinking in broad daylight in the middle of fucking Prohibition! It wouldn't even be our first time being kille by a bored fucking policeman. I can't fucking believe you...

Fifth panel: An amused Arthur prepares to stand, holding onto the bench. Arthur: "Its-"

Sixth panel: Arthur stands, holding the bottle of whiskey. Arthur: "-fine"

Seventh panel: Arthur drunkenly stumbles down the cobblestone path through Innsmouth. To his right is a canal. Stone-cracked houses loom in the distance, the sky is overcast. /End ID]
