Reading theory is like seeing the yellow sign and slowly going insane as it inserts itself into the rest of your life

The yellow sign?

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's from The King In Yellow, a sort of proto-lovecraftian horror story. The Yellow King and Yellow Sign are symbolic of forbidden knowledge that ruins your life and drives you insane.

Incidentally it's also where the name "Carcosa" is from.

You read a tome of eldritch lore and begin to recognize the shape of an invisible unholy abomination controlling people, seeing its omnipresent tentacles corrupting everything that is good in its endless pursuit of profit.
