the fact that malevolent is constantly thematically grappling with what it means to be human is so important to me. like yes it's a silly little eldrich horror podcast, but also almost every main character, including antagonists, is an aspect of what it means to be human and they are constantly in conflict with that idea and it's so well done and RAHHHHHHH

Hey Yellow. What’s your problem?

Carcosa? The monstrous city at which unspeakable horrors are done in name of the great old one Hastur they call their leader? Great. How much is the average rent price?

The king of Carcosa will eventually consume and destroy the entire city with everyone in it when the time comes to increase his power? Well that's every politician ever for you, tell me something new.

The entire city is populated by a cult that worships the King and they often do unspeakable horrors in his name? Yes im aware with how political parties work

The nearby lake of Hali is said to be inhabited by a being of unspeakable power which sometimes comes into conflict with the spawn of Cthulhu at that lake? YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS PLACE EVEN HAS A NICE LAKE TO SIT NEXT TO!? And yes I am also aware about how tourists can be annoying sometimes.

Your spooky "Black stars on a bright sky" you keep mentioning imply there is little air pollution, since seeing a large amount of stars in a city is often wishful thinking. Housing crisis considered this place doesn't seem half bad

such fractured souls as these

Iä, the King in Yellow comes!

Okay so my thoughts rn are Parmesan for salty and kind of nutty savory note

Or feta for that salty and creamy goat cheese goodness

Okay hear me out

What if banana bread… but we put cheese in it?

I have mushed bananas in the freezer ready to be used for bandanna bread. Im listening.

woa guys have you heard about this cool new book about eldrich horrors beyond your comprehension or whatever :0

Arthur Lester's suitors. Choose wisely, darling, or it may end badly!

Hypothetical question:

There is a book that is 200 pages long. If you read the entire book, you will 100% get a neurodegenerative disease and die in 1-5 years. Everybody knows this. There are studies. Every reputable organization, even very pro-free-speech ones, are like "no this specific book WILL literally kill you."

There are no consequences to reading the first page of the book. There are studies. The only risk is that you might be interested enough that you'd like to read the rest (especially if you didn't know about the effect.)

(More details: The effects of reading past Page 1 are hotly debated - you do need to read all 200 pages to get the disease, but some kind of compulsion kicks in over time and makes you much more inclined to finish the book. Reading to page 10 is a little dangerous, reading to page 50 or past is very dangerous, but it's kind of unclear how much. The compulsion is NOT measurably present from the first page.)

Every government has banned this book, but it's pretty easy to find copies online or (with a bit more work) in person. By all accounts, the writing is quite beautiful. It is even easier to find copies of the first page, since everyone agrees it's not dangerous.

(this is curiosity / idle research for a fiction project)
