This season I want John to use his projecting powers/his arm to kill again, but this time I don't want it to be out of hatred, I want it to be out of devotion to Arthur, so devoted he becomes unrecognizable in a way we've never seen before. I want him to become utterly visceral. Out of so much devotion that it doesn't even cross Arthur's mind that this could be remanence of The King in Yellow, John's his own now, I want him to blur the lines between John and something else entirely, something worse.

There’s so much in Malevolent to be devastated over so why am I the most sad about the way things turned out with Yellow
Like, Yellow is John’s other half— the half that had been the main villain, threat, and danger for so many episodes now. And then, one day, POOF!! His memories were gone, and he was put into the same situation that John was in when he first met Arthur. I know it would have taken so extremely long, and may never have happened, but I keep imagining what it would have been like if Arthur helped Yellow feel some humanity, too. What would have happened if both Yellow AND John were changed for the better? Would the King in Yellow as a whole no longer be some evil Erdrich god, torturing souls for the heck of it?
Them beating Yellow in the finale of season 4 is one of the saddest parts to me, because it’s made very clear that Yellow wants to be cared for; he wants the bond and change that John had. Yellow goes so far as to ask John how he had made it so that Arthur would love John and care for him as much as he did, and what made John more lovable than himself. But he never receives it. Perhaps he simply can’t.
I just find it so sad— like this man is definitely not great, very far into the dark grey area of the moral spectrum, but he had so much opportunity to be good, even if it was taken away in the end. And I mean, perhaps he never could have changed, since John explained that Arthur cared for him because John cared for Arthur, which implies that Yellow couldn’t do the same, but the thought that he, once, might have been able to… he at least deserved someone to care about him, instead of trying to use him like Larson :(((

GUYS GUYS I FOUND YET ANOTHER LOSER MAN WITH NO REAL CANON DESIGN TO OBSESS OVER. IT’S MY FOURTH ONE THIS WEEK I NEED TO BE STOPPED.
Anyways I started listening to Malevolent and I love him.
Gee I sure hope the next forty episodes don’t completely destroy him. That would suck.

I spy the glass, the tooth, the stone, The poem, the wallet, the hooks, the bone, The razor of course to help him shave, What else can we find today? I spy the frame of gold, Black goat horns shiny and cold, Ten coins, the squid, the song, the facet, But where's the gun? He must've lost it… I spy eight eels, and six ducks afloat, A hand extended, a hand at throat, The wicked smile, the broken machine, The tendrils, the river, the man in between
