"Let’s Go With Kayne!"

Arthur and The Entity Within...

"And yet she saved me. I can't think of no better honor."

Malevoversary 2024 | Thrusday Prompt | Addison

The 24 year old Palestinian artist, Mohammed Sami Qaraiqa, dreamed for people to see his art. Unfortunately while he was caring for the displaced children of Al-Ahli Al-Muqdami Hospital, he was murdered by an Israeli air strike, on October 17 2023.

i keep saying this in different ways but i truly just adore arthur lester. he's the most resilient little bug in the whole world. nothing can keep him down. he is filled with rage and grief and joy and hope. he should've died so many times by now, but he cannot. his sheer fucking spirit and will has carried him through unimaginable horrors and it will carry him further

[ID: An artwork of Parker, Noel, Oscar, Larson and the Butcher from Malevolent. Above them read the words, 'died because of a book', 'bleeding out in Spain', 'amputated and forgotten about', 'blinded and sent to the Dreamlands', and 'exploded' respectively. They all have displeased expressions. \End ID.]

[ID: An artwork of Arthur Lester from Malevolent doing the 'Ah, Eto... Bleh' pose. He is putting his hands on top of his head and sticking out his tongue playfully. \End ID.]

A Moment of Rest

Arthur Lester’s moral philosophy basically boils down to “humanity is fundamentally good and noble and capable of a wonderful things…except for me (irredeemable monster) and everyone who reminds me too much of myself, who need to go die in a hole (preferably by my hand)”

And that’s hilarious

Pros of hyperfixiation:

Cons of hyperfixiation:

I am going to blow up

All my art is of the same guy
