I Found Yorriks Little "yes My Queen"s And "exellent, My King" Hysterical I Hope He Comes Back

Are you implyin to me that a shramp managed to frah this rice? It's preposterous! But it intrigues meh so.

So real I am gnawing on it like a chew toy

So it’s official guys… the Malevolent hyperfixation has reached the red zone…. haven’t hyperfixated this bad since the reawakening of my Homestuck hyperfixation in 2019.

we are at the point where my brain is trying to find any excuse to connect Malevolent to literally anything i am doing and it just keeps getting worse. I am gonna start relistening to it and taking in depth notes pretty soon

I Died For You [A Malevolent Animatic]

Voice acting and audio by @malevolentcast , who very generously sent me this audio file to use for this animatic. Thank you for creating such a beautiful show.

Background and details under cut

I began this animatic early last year after finding the audio on TikTok. Once I heard it, I was immediately struck with the thought of how those first couple of weeks in the Dark World would be for John immediately after Season 2. It seemed perfectly fitting, how John might be tortured by his guilt and uncertainty if Arthur was even still alive, and that torment would only aid his regression to his more… Kingly qualities.

I began to draft the thumbnails of the animatic in my sketchbook before transferring it to my digital workspace, which was incredibly intimidating at the time. This was my first independent animatic. In last year’s InvictusCon, Harlan popped into my stream as I was explaining my animatic thought process to my viewers, shaking with both excitement and terror. I was stunned when he offered to voice it himself. The next day, he sent me the audio file. To this day, I am still stunned he spent so much time and effort to create something. It was the encouragement I needed to finish a longer-form animatic. It may be only a minute and some change, but this is a whole year of my life condensed - my obsession, my adoration, my passion for not only this podcast but for art in general, both visual and audio.

It’s by happy accident that I finished this right at the cusp of the Season 5 finale. It almost perfectly slots in. So… let’s all pretend that this animatic took me a month to do rather than the year I spent sweating on my couch and complaining about the number of times I forgot Arthur’s wooden finger.

The comment section is so good

Being a man is dropping the info that your toe is falling off at the end of a convo with your mother

My drumsticks are doing the eraserhead thing :(

For the warmup doodle ideas, can we get a tiny Yorick? Maybe John yeeting him out of a window or something similar

I smash brothered him I hope that's okay

WHEN WILL PEOPLE FUCKING REALIZE THAT

MEN

GIVEN

UNREALISTIC

EXPECTATIONS

DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA

HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS

TO LOOK LIKE THIS???

IT’S 100% FUCKING ILLOGICAL TO EXPECT MEN TO HAVE THIS RIPPED SIX-PACK ABS AND BE SKINNY AND HAVE PERFECT SKIN AND FACIAL COMPLEXION!  MEN ALSO EXPERIENCE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH OUR BODIES ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.
