A peruvian is latino and hispanic, a Colombian is latino and hispanic.

Someone from Brazil is latino but not hispanic

Someone from spain is hispanic but not latino

John: You can’t see this but you have the cold calculated demeanor of someone not to fuck with.

The Arthur I’ve already imagine in my head: 

i will be endlessly surprised if this hasn't been done before. BUT I WANTED TO DO IT ANYWAYS

John and Arthur in this order

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. End ID]

this man really got dropped in 13th century England on a cold thundering night, no proper clothes, no money, freshly betrayed by his friend, having recently seen his dead daughter...

"The skull-splitting blare of trumpets – loud enough to shake the earth, to fill the entire universe. Arthur flinches, the breath punched from his chest, as the King materialises. He drifts above them, his massive crown blotting out the sky, flowing robes of silk and gold rippling out from his body like water as he begins his graceful descent. His face is inscrutable, incomprehensible, his unmoving gaze locked with John’s."

Illustration for The Essence of a Soul by Calamitatum (@calamitxtum on tumblr) featuring a deliciously twisted nightmare scene!

Please check out the fic! It is a beautiful and viscerally written study of John's psyche after accidentally taken over Arthur's entire body, leaving nothing of him behind after stumbling into a ritual site.... So it is up to John alone to get Arthur back!

Thank you so much to @malevolentbigbang for organizing the event! It was a great time!

I am also thankful for my fellow artists in this fic: @physical-manifestation-of-spite and @marimo-art

Image ID is under the cut

Image ID: Digital Illustration depicting The King in Yellow towering over Arthur. The presence of the KiY encompasses the scene with a glowing, halo-like crown, evocative of a solar eclipse. Plumes of golden smoke and clouds make up his body, framing the scene. The KiY has monstrous limbs which are tearing Arthur's limbs apart; a giant hand holds his leg and a distorted mass of tentacles holds his arm. Blood gushes from Arthur's arm while he cries and screams in pain. John's hand reaches for a dagger on the floor. /End ID
