I feel like it'd be really funny if John has no idea what an elephant looks like. He's been saying "eat the elephant" every other episode, I want him to actually see one and be like HOLY SHIT ORTHUR THIS IS AN ELEPHANT?? WE CAN'T EAT THIS!!
Because my last low-quality malevolent comic was so well received it has really inspired to start a new project, and since I’ve been wanting to do more malevolent art anyway I’ve been toying with the idea of making a series of malevolent comics that basically revolve around what each nyarlathotep was doing like ten minutes before Kayne killed them; basically just a bunch of crackfics in comic form.
However there is one catch to this. Because I don’t have the time or bandwidth to make a bunch of fully rendered panels for several comics, it would mean that all of these comics would be pretty low quality, just rough sketches for each panel.
I’m on the fence about how much people would like this, so I’ve decided to ask you all
Would you still want this project if it was all lower quality illustrations?
Yeah! Who needs rendering anyway?
No I prefer fully rendered art
Malevolent AU where everything is exactly the same, but Kayne is trying to get a grill
Low key gonna draw this later
Thank you for standing by my family. I know I keep asking, but your donations are what keeps us alive, especially after the recent bombing that injured us all.
Our sole focus now is saving my brother Samer. Getting his vital medications and evacuating him for treatment is our only hope.
Please share our story and urge others to donate.
@hazemsuhail
Right now I myself cannot donate however anybody who can please do. Free Palestine.

Updates! I graduated! Other than that I had some issues with getting certain voice actors so that made my hiatus longer than anticipated. I no longer work 2 jobs + college so once we get rocking and rolling with episode releases I’m expecting little to no set backs! Wahoo!
We also have a producer now! Which will help make our episodes bigger and better!
It’s all good things after this Hiatus and I promise this season will be worth the wait!

My greatest tragedy is that I will never be as nonchalant as I was when I was twelve years old because that was the age I acquired what might actually be a leitner and I just didn’t care but now my paranormal chasing ass can do nothing but care about about the leitner on my shelf and I might have been marked by the book but 12 year old me did not gaf bc it went something like this
Book: does something indisputably paranormal
12 year old me: hmmm this book just did something indisputably paranormal and I have no memory of it or where I got it but I’v got bigger fish to fry I might be transgender so I should really think about that for the next several months but first I’m gonna read the cursed book again yaaaaaay
I also have not thrown out the leitner
Also I was in fact transgender
My favourite lovecraft fact is that canonically Nyarlathothep has fought the teenage mutant ninja turtles so my fellow malevolent fan artists do with this information what you will.
Man having only listened to malevolent before I was not expecting the badass and intimidating Roland Cummings to be such a sleepy little fella
When you want to just chill and make your illuminated manuscripts while watching people play call if cthullu but you are forced to lock in bc your a radio host and you haven’t finished your script yet and you can’t delay the story bc your day off happened to land a few days after the fire and on top of that you have to report on the hacker man so there is no time for games on your broadcast because you need to report on the fire and the hack man before more bad stuff happens f my stupid chud life
I think some people are forgetting that our beloved Parker YANG is Chinese?? I keep seeing very white Parker designs floating around. While the art is good it just feels like one of the characters I like is being erased. :/ unfortunate
Nah dude don't you know that Yang is a classic Irish surname
Every time someone draws Parker YANG as white a little piece of me dies inside. like guys it’s not rocket science, but the way some people act when asked not to whitewash him you’d think they were just asked to invent time travel.
Ok question for the group it is confirmed in protocol that during the eyepocalypse everyone in the world could see and hear Jon bc he’s the archivist, and because he was English, after the world went back to normal no one really wanted to help England recover and rebuild, so with that in mind, if they could all see and hear Jon do we think they could see and hear him interacting with Martin, and if so because his nationality caused a worldwide disliking of the British, what do we think his status as a queer man did for homophobia? Is the archivesverse a less tolerant place because the guy who ended the world kissed boys? Or do people just not care and the anti British stuff came from a place of historical trauma that the British have inflicted combined with the fact that one of theirs let the fears out?
Is archivist now a homophobic slur?
Friendship is sitting next to your friend on a bus while eating snacks and tapping them on the shoulder to show them the vaguely phalic hot cheeto you pulled as you mouth the word penar to them before chowing down on that bad boy while they groan because they’re ashamed to be seen with you.
Ain’t that right @ihavenoconsistentinterests
I feel like with the introduction of Parker’s ghost(?) it’s going to lead to a dynamic of Arthur being wary of whether or not he can trust Parker but slowly as he spends more time acknowledging his presence and talking with him bit by bit he begins to warm up to/let himself get close to his friend again and then one day out of nowhere for the funsies(possibly in another non cannon special ala benevolent) Parker just does this
And then he bursts out laughing because there’s no malice or hatred behind it, he does purely just to mess with his friend because he knows it’ll catch him off guard.
I’m calling it now Parker’s gonna be the funniest part of threshold for the foreseeable future.
Every now and then in the more recent malevolent episodes John sounds like Harlan’s just doing a bad impression of darth Vader
Family bonding
He hasn’t been the most supportive about his interest in magic in the past, but Esteban knows that if there is one thing that his papa loves more than anything(except him and his dad of course), it’s science, so this felt like a good compromise.
Carlos feels bad about how hard he’s been on his son about the whole magic thing. He knows Esteban’s really trying to make him proud with this latest trick, so he’s trying his best to be enthusiastic about it. He just really wishes he hadn’t left out the bromine in the same room his nine year old plays in.
The Definitive Yog-Sothoth Evidence File
Anyone who knows me knows that I have been unwell about this for over the course of two years and I’ve finally complied all the evidence into one neat dossier. I am the yog truther supreme, walk with me.
The Theory
Yog-Sothoth has a presence within the wider Malevolent narrative. I claim no further prediction on how he’s going to be incorporated but his involvement is strongly implied and I believe it may come to a head in Malevolent: Threshold.
Who is Yog-Sothoth?
Yog-Sothoth, Past, Present, Future, the Lurker in the Threshold, is a deity within the Lovecraftian and Call of Cthulhu universe. He is often depicted as a huge sticky mass of orbs that pulse with oilslick lights. He is an Outer God, one of the most powerful beings in existence, rivaled only by Azathoth himself, and often thought to be locked outside of existence, existing in the places Inbetween, cursed to only watch and never interact. He functions as the connective tissue of the universe, is coterminous with all of space and time, and thought to be omnipotent and perhaps benevolent. Or at the least, uncaring. He does seem to show a soft spot for sorcerers and will bestow spells and mystical knowledge among those he deems worthy of it. His avatars take the form of Aforgomon, the Time Eater, and Tawil at’Umr, The Guardian of the Ultimate Gate.
The Evidence
The story begins with a gateway. Opened by Antoine de Foile in the basement hall beneath the house at 58 Pelican Lane, a gateway was opened, intended for another. Here, the King in Yellow was initially fractured and trapped within a book by Anna Stanczyk, an event that kickstarted the entire series. Gateways are by no means exclusive to Yog-Sothoth, as Kayne can open them at will, but this is likely because they are both Outer Gods and at a higher power threshold than others we have met. It is also possible Kayne can only move through dimensions thanks to the information he gained from touching the Greystone but the specifics of this are largely unconfirmed (Intermezzo 13:30). We do know, however, that Lilith, a Great Old One, (Threshold 1, 36:34) outright states that she is unable to open portals and travel like her father can (Part 59, 1:07:35). This is evident from the fact that she is forced to seek the aid of the Fake Edward William Allan (FEWA) to free her from the Nightmare Realm, as well as co-opting Kayne’s portal to Frangland instead of making her own. The King in Yellow, also a Great Old One, also requires the thin spot present on the Plateau to open the gateway to Addison, implying his control over the gates is also finite.
The gateways may be a strech or coincidence, but Yog-Sothoth’s presence has already been confirmed within canon, at least as an entity that exists within the narrative. In Part 8 (19:50) right after John reads out “The King in Yellow” from the book annotated by Sarah/Amanda Cummings, a sound like a PA chime plays, and then quietly in the background, a garbled message plays that reads:
“Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.”
This chant originates from Lovecraft’s story The Dunwich Horror, translated from Latin by Wilbur Whateley (more on the Whateleys later) from within the Necronomicon.
The chant also appears in the non-canonical Malevolent trailer titled: A Message for You. “But worry not. You will learn exactly what it means to be malevolent. See you soon.” (2:40). The chant plays for a moment before the spot ends.
Symbology has always had its place in malevolent, and it’s highly possible we have already seen Yog-Sothoth’s symbol. The symbol etched into the floor in the secret room at Marie’s (which contains the desiccated body of FEWA) is described as “circular, with a pattern that repeats into its center” (Part 32). This symbol is also found on the bestiary, (which also sports Shub-Niggurath’s symbol among four others) as well as the floor of the barn at the farm where the “Tear” is. Three instances, two of which were known locations where gateways were summoned, whether they were successful or not. (Note also that at both scenes, the skull of a rodent was present and likely a necessary component of the gateways FEWA was conjuring.)
There is a possible connection to Aldrich Ward, who is revealed later to be one of if not the only face behind the smuggler persona of Charon. Within the Call of Cthulhu grimoire, Charon is a moniker that can be called upon during a ritual to summon Yog-Sothoth ( p38). The surname Ward is also present in Lovecraft’s story, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, which is the first of his works to introduce and heavily feature Yog-Sothoth.
For those familiar with the work, Larson’s Child, otherwise known as the mines monster from Addison, bears a striking resemblance to the Dunwich Horror, a creature born to Lavinia Whateley through the machinations of her father, the creature’s grandfather, Wizard Whateley. The father of the Horror is none other than Yog-Sothoth. (Note, The Dunwich Horror is eventually defeated by Henry Armitage, who appears in Part 2. With a return to Arkham, we may consult him again and learn more about his dealings with the Horror).
While the Child’s origins are murky and mostly guesswork, we know a few things. Rafters, who has been within the mind of the monster, asserts that it is Larson’s child “birthed through [Larson’s] daughter” combined with the many failed attempts to bring about a proper heir to Larson’s name, (Part 27 30:24) the heavily implied incestous nature of which is confirmed in the Face Off Livestream (1:11:32). The parallels between this and the Dunwich horror are plain to see, and it’s highly likely the unknown deity Larson made this deal with was Yog-Sothoth, considering children begotten by Yog-Sothoth are often invisible to the naked eye and may only be observed by magical means (Malleus Monstorum p.165).
During his eulogy in the Dark World, John very explicitly mentions he did not have a mother to nurture him (Part 54, 32:50). Not a father or a parent, explicitly a mother, and insists that he was created complete. Yog-Sothoth is frequently attributed as being The King in Yellow’s progenitor. Malevolent centers highly on parent and child dynamics, so it would align with established themes if John has to examine his own parentage at some point.
Threshold
Yog-Sothoth is a being of many titles: All-In-One, the Key, and the Gate, Opener of the Way, etc etc, but also, most topically, his is often known as the Lurker at the Threshold. Huh. Interesting.
The first and most glaring piece of evidence is within the name itself. We first learn of Threshold from Kayne in Part 52 the Wager, where he hints at the location of Charlie Dowd. “Let’s just say… he’s standing at the… threshold? A-wink.” (49:02). We hear of it next from Lorick, who also indicates Charlie lay at Threshold, but that he knows nothing else. Threshold is mentioned a third time when Arthur is briefly reunited with Charlie, who, when asked where he is, repeats the word twice before vanishing. Kayne, however, on second usage, uses Threshold as a stand alone, lacking the determiner ‘the’. “And I am going to head to Threshold and carve out Noel’s fucking eyes with broken glass.” Not ‘The’ Threshold. Just Threshold. Charlie also does not use “the” in his pleas. Perhaps just a writer’s quirk, perhaps a clue, perhaps nothing at all.
Mystic hack Leonard Gilbert, in his visitation to Robert Puckett possesses a pocket watch with an “ancient and powerful sigil” upon its face, which is supposedly “gibberish”. It’s possible, that this is no ordinary trinket and the symbol belongs to Yog-Sothoth, as one of his main domains is that of time. (Overture 12:25). If we meet with him again in the future and John sees the pocketwatch, he may recognize the symbol from New York.
The QnA Panel
During the 2026 Malevolent QnA panel with Harlan, Yog-Sothoth was brought up in connection with the scrapped metaplot plans for the Booth Entity, a patron exclusive character that introduces each chapter of Malevolent before it is spliced into the larger Part. When asked if Yog Sothoth had any involvement with those scrapped plans, the reply was “No- Ah-? [thinking about it]…No.”
Which could mean anything.
He also acknowledges the chanting present in Part 8, which means it’s not a plot point that has simply been forgotten or discarded.
However, immediately afterwards, the interviewer, Ren (shout out Ren ily Ren) segues into the question I submitted, which I have copied here in it’s entirely for clarity:
“In part eight after John reads out the name of the King in Yellow, there’s a quiet chime that plays and whispers the famed chant: “ Past, Present, Future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth”. Paired with the dunwich horror-esque nature of the mines monster in Addison, was Yog-Sothoth ever planned to be a greater part of the narrative before you settled on the Blackstone route?”
This was promptly and immediately eight-balled. (2026 QnA livestream, 55:30)
An eightball is put into play when a question comes up that he is hesitant to answer, usually due to the answers containing spoilers or to hint at future plans or if he just wants to be silly. Harlan is not shy about giving resounding “no”s to certain questions, which more or less confirms to me that yes, Yog-Sothoth will be relevant at some point within the coming narrative.
