Podfic: "Captive Crown" by GerbilofTriumph

A shabby narration of GerbilofTriumph's excellent King's Quest fanfiction, "Captive Crown," complete with outrageous attempts at accents and enough bloopers to start a drinking game (with um, raisin juice. There are too many goofs for the real stuff.) This wonderful fiction, full of courage, nightmares, and healing, is gratefully recorded and shared with permission of the author, @gerbiloftriumph. Go check out her awesome creative blog.

All seven chapters are available at the link above, but if you just feel like listening to the first chapter while you scroll, voila:

King in Yellow Reading List

This is just the basic origins of the core King in Yellow lore as far as i could find, and i’m sure i missed some things. The main thing i couldnt find is a single origin point for the idea of the kiy as an aspect/avatar of the more powerful god hastur, or even just those two as alternate names of one entity. The closest i found for that was actually the Call of Cthulhu ttrpg, which may very well be the source tbh. In terms of Classic Cosmic Horror i could find copies of online though, i think this covers it.

The King in Yellow Robert W. Chambers Collection of short stories, the first four of which feature the apocryphal ‘King in Yellow’ play, and are introduced with excerpts from it.

An Inhabitant of Carcosa Ambrose Bierce Short story, origin of the city of Carcosa and Lake Hali, both used by Chambers in the King in Yellow play.

Haita the Shepherd Ambrose Bierce Short story, origin of the name ‘Hastur’ here used as a god but borrowed by Chambers as a city name.

The Whisperer in Darkness HPL Novellette, more explicitly links Hastur with the yellow sign, and thus the King in Yellow. Also brings the KIY/Hastur into the cthulhu mythos in general.

The Return of Hastur August Derleth Short story, reintroduced ‘Hastur’ as a god rather than a city.

More Light James Blish Short Story, Reconstruction of the King in Yellow play inside a narrative framing device.

Apart from the stories listed here, The Hastur Cycle edited by Robert M Price is a great collection that includes most of these as well as context and introductions for each story so thats a great resource, i just couldnt find a link that wasnt a pdf download.

Additionally, its not made explicit and its just one small scene so i didnt include it in the main list but I think the King in Yellow appears in the Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath, and in terms of lore for Malevolent fans the dreamlands are definitely relevent and a lot of what happens in that book in general is paralleled in season 2 which is fun.

Slight spoilers(?) for Bramble the Mountain King below 

Is it just me or does the witch (Pesta?? I think that’s her name) kinda look like Igor?

My friend (age, gender and sexuality completely irrelevant for this post) is just starting to discover Queer Media™, and like, it is AMAZING to watch, but also due to this being the 2020s and my almost decade-long Special Interest in this subject, they now have immediately access to all the best stuff.

This person watched But I'm a Cheerleader, D.E.B.S. AND Mystere a la Tour Eiffel all in one evening, instead of having to laboriously mentally rewrite Star Trek / Xena: Warrior Princess / Supernatural / The Captain America trilogy like us normal people. CAN YOU IMAGINE.

having adhd will make you not have the energy to do shit like cooking and cleaning and general Things You Need To Do To Live but WILL make you have extreme motivation to make a transcript of all dialogue of a 100+ episode 90s anime, take a million screenshots, rip models from a ps2 game of the anime when you have no experience with doing that, so not only you can use them but also all of this can be available online for peoples easy access. just because the anime is your fucking hyperfixation
