Matthew Heawood: Funny thing, I'm left handed now

Me: OH YOU MOTHERFUCKE-

Attempting to create some kind of chronological release playlisting for the Pleasant Green Universe. Using the release chronology from Wikipedia.

Starting from the beginning, episodes are now mainly available on soundcloud.

Then we move to The Lovecraft Investigations on spotify (also still available on other players if preferred).

Then the two Aldritch Kemp series. Again I'm using Spotify and made my own playlist, but this is still on BBC Sounds etc.

That's it so far! Will add any new series that come out :)

Lovecraftian Influence in ORV

On a sleepy bus ride, a few months ago, I was peacefully listening to the s2 this BBC podcast called The Lovecraft Investigations(the name of s2 is "The Whisperer in Darkness").

It is a mystery thriller/horror fiction podcast created, written and directed by Julian Simpson, based on the modernization of several works of H. P. Lovecraft & presented as a podcast-within-a-podcast in which the two hosts of the Mystery Machine, a true crime podcast investigating cases related to the occult and conspiracy theories.

I was listening to ep6 at that time & some minutes in, the podcast describes a "series of things" that strongly remind me of ORV, all traces of sleepiness gone. (following text snippets have been taken from the Pleasant Green wiki, with some additions by me):

Eleanor explains that Nyarlathotep is supposedly the avatar of Azathoth, an entity that is dreaming the universe into existence. But Azathoth is unaware of this? Nyarlathotep goal is to trick humanity into opening a portal to Azathoth's Dreamlands and let Azathoth enter our reality, an act that would send the human race into collective insanity...

The episode definitely goes into more detail but I'm too lazy to do a transcription now. However, I think this short summary from the ep does race a few flags- entity who dreams the universe into existence? avatar of the entity? HEY THIS IS SIMILAR TO MAD & SECRETIVE PLOTTER.

I tried to find if anyone else on the internet(a common fan of Lovecraft & ORV) had noticed this & I found one, very detailed post on Reddit. This confirmed my suspicion & also fueled my curiosity more- I had to see for myself how deep the links went.

so.i.researched...hehe

TFW when you’re not only a Freemason, but a member of an Order focused on esotericism, and some poor ignorant soul sends you a DM offering to “recruit you” into the “Illuminati”.

Pleasant Green covers this scam better, though:

Anyway, if you get a DM from “therealgrandmaster223” (or any other such titles) offering you a bunch of transcendent word salad and offering to “recruit you” for the low low price of whatever they can extract from you, it’s a scam. I hope they stop wasting time they’ll never get to have again doing stupid and hurtful stuff like this.

But the sad thing is, they wouldn’t be doing it if it weren’t sometimes successful. So please don't fall for it.

So, I started listening to Mythos, and that's lead me to a theory about Parker.

We know she changes her name based on what magic she's using, but what if she also looks different? What if she's actually some flavor of nonbinary? So, for fire, what if her hair was a bright red gradient that started blue/black out at the roots, then into yellow, then to orange, and to red.

And when we meet Parker Parker (that's what I'm calling them for Lovecraft Investigations), they look like the average of every person on Earth, past or present. The only way you can tell they're the same person is by the voice.

This is a profound truth that is not just about this book, but about Real Life.

It's not like Piranesi is the only place to say it. Haunter of the Dark has Marcus Byron telling Matthew Haewood that even a summer holiday will change one. Heawood isn't delighted to hear this but that doesn't stop it being true

no but you see. as i was nearing the end of piranesi i expected the narrator to either stay in the House as piranesi or to return to the 'real world' and go back to being matthew rose sorensen. those were the only two viable options to me. so when he invented another self in the end, someone new, when the book said, it is possible to live after trauma, but you cannot return to who you were ever again... i may never recover

Saw this on a Pleasant Green video but I swear scammers are freaking stupid

These morons really just used the Antarctica, Trans and Gay Pride, and UN flags for countries (Likely from emoji spamming cause these flags are in order)

But nontheless, it’s freaking funny
