#dog!butcher

hi I have more Cat & Dog Jarthur AU sketches that I keep forgetting to post

couldn't stop thinking about the Butcher confrontation scene in this AU being an even more egregious glass house situation than it already was in canon

I was also reminded that declawing exists, and thought that might be a fitting way to reduce John's capacity to physically protect (or hurt) Arthur. As well as it just feeling thematically/symbolically relevant to his whole situation, being defenseless and vulnerable now in a way he never has been before. Being a little domestic house cat covers some of that already, but y'know
