Tumblr if it existed in Lovecraft’s work would be a literal nightmare.

My assistant just came home from a trip to Illinois. I acquired a new specimen and tried out my new embalming fluid on it. My assistant will record the progress of reanimation.

🪦 reanimator-assistant Follow

West injected a compound into the specimen to counteract the embalming fluid.

🪦 reanimator-assistant Follow

West put a pillow over it. Afterwards, he injected the body with the reagent. It’s possible the specimen may tell us what’s on the other side of death!

West did what now?

I keep having fucked up dreams about the witch that used to live in the house I rented for cheap. Especially since my rented room, the attic, was where she did her magic. I’m sure it’s nothing.

That’s a weird giant rat! I hate these fucking dreams!

I got this weird box full of documents from being the heir of my great uncle’s estate after he passed. It has this strange bas-relief and notes. I’ll read what’s in it.

Cthulhu still sleeps beneath the waves in his sunken city. I know the cult knows I know too much. They’ll take care of me like they did my great uncle. If you don’t see me on here anymore, that’s why.

Hey, I’m going to visit this weird seaport town while on the way to Arkham to do genealogical research. People in Newburyport don’t want me to visit, but it’s the cheapest route to Arkham. Wish me luck!

🐟 olmsteads-journal Follow

Year later… but…

I was related to someone from that town and something else.

After I fled the town, started to become like the people from the town. I shall join them in the sea with my cousin! :)

Note to everyone: don’t try summon up your ancestors from the grave with essential salts.

If you see a Dr. Allen around Providence, Rhode Island. Please shoot him and dissolve his body in acid.

Take no account of what I published. Dr. Allen is a grand man who meant no harm.

Day 4 - Telephone

I have to admit, finding something for #telephone in #Lovecraft's collection of stories was quite a challenge in itself. After all, the telephone was still in its infancy during Lovecraft's time, was generally still more of a luxury item and therefore barely present in his stories. Well, and then we discovered "the Statement of Randolph Carter", where the whole story stands or falls on a portable telephone. For anyone hearing the name of this story for the first time, I would like to recommend the little audiobook of the story that I smuggled into my Insta Stories this morning ;)

Howard Phillips Lovecraft: The Statement of Randolph Carter

A Lovecraft version of “The Heavy Is Dead” called “The Warren Is Dead.”

[warren-is-dead]

At some point as a kid I decided that the thing in the pit was speaking with Warren’s voice and. Well. This was the logical progression.

[anemoira]

I think his thoughts on analog horror would have been fascinating, because as a form of horror it runs in so many directions, parallel and perpendicular to his work. While muvh of it would be unnaproachable for him, lacking the context of even the analog technology from which the genre gets its name, many of the important elements are reflected in his work. Many of his works are presented in the second hand view inherent to the analog horror genre, like in the statement of randolph carter or the radio messages in at the mountains of madness. Analog horror often has concepts directly taken from łl lovecrafts work, like the monoliths, orb and crawlfrom vita carnis directly taking concepts of cosmic and eldritch horror. Lovecraft was a fascinating individual, and his opinions on such an interesting take on the horror genre would be fascinating as well.

rest in peace hp lovecraft you would’ve loved analog horror

At the end of the holiday season, I am cursing you all with this retelling of The Statement of Randolph Carter.

RANDOLPH CARTER from THE STATEMENT OF RANDOLPH CARTER

JUSTIFICATION:

"I think she's queer in some way, and she could be a trans woman/girl based on vibes. The headcanon of her being specifically a trans woman came from scribe-of-monsters and I explored it in my writing too." - @aiden-nevada

Ralph Lauren Takes His Line on the Road

By Stephanie Strom Sept. 23, 1993 (Originally published in the NYT)

While other retailers are taking their acts to television's home shopping networks, Ralph Lauren is taking his new line of jeans and rugged clothing on the road in an 18-wheeler.

A team of nine young salespeople yesterday started selling the designer's RRL, or Double RL collection out of a Peterbilt semitractor trailer truck parked on the campus of New York University in Manhattan. The trailer, painted with mustangs running across one side and pulled by a cherry red cab, plans to visit college campuses across the country cultivating customers who might otherwise miss the company's more traditional marketing efforts.

"It's a traveling billboard," Mr. Lauren, who looked as if he had just stepped out of one of the on-board dressing rooms in full RRL attire, said in a truckside interview at N.Y.U.

But it goes beyond that. The truck gives the designer, who is as much a savvy marketer as he is a fashion maven, and his retail empire reach beyond the fashion magazines and department store shops that feature RRL clothes. College students do not necessarily look to the ads in Esquire and Vogue for wardrobe ideas, Mr. Lauren reasons, or spend money in department and specialty stores.

Ralph had challenged us to come up with a new way of reaching young people because they don't read magazines as much," said Mary Randolph Carter, vice president of advertising for the Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation.

Peter Strom, the company's to-the-point President, explained that the traveling store was not about making a profit but, rather, about making a statement. The truck is scheduled to stop on college campuses through the first week of December, but Mr. Strom said he would be willing to finance a spring tour if the one this fall won the company exposure.

That sales are a secondary goal is not surprising, since $68 blue jeans and $78 flannel shirts may not fit into the average college student's budget. But Mr. Lauren is not worried about prices. "All the prices are very competitive," he said. "My products are really good products, high quality, and people will pay for that." Thrift-Shop Ambience.

The shop inside the truck, which has a sort of a Salvation-Army-thrift-shop-meets-general-store atmosphere, opens onto a tented area where clothes are stacked on battered industrial work tables, tossed into baskets or hung on mobile pipe racks. The collection is heavy on items like roomy barn jackets, tooled belts, faded flannel shirts and worn jeans

To handle logistics and campus politics, the company teams up at each campus it plans to visit with a student group, which then makes arrangements for the truck's arrival. In exchange, the traveling RRL shop donates 10 percent of its profits to the sponsoring organization.

Ads in campus newspapers and an "800" telephone number help herald the arrival of the truck, which stays two days at each campus. After leaving N.Y.U. it will head for the University of Connecticut at Storrs and then the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.

Said Sam Hamilton, the 29-year-old road manager who is leading the team, "I figure I can write a memoir when it's all over."

Warren: Carter, it’s me Warren! I’m here to convince you to do very dangerous field research for occult studies!

Carter: Oh boy, I can’t wait to have a very queer coded five year relationship with you in Florida.

Day 7 - Mirrors

On day 7, I had a go at D'endrrah. As an Outer Goddess disguised as a single Martian woman in a mirrored castle, she's perfect for the Prompt 😬 Drawing her was actually a bit of a challenge. After 7 pictures, she's actually the first character in the Lovecraft universe that I've found NOTHING about - apart from two piddly Wikipedia entries that talk about her obsidian mirror castle. There was even more to be found on the Randolph Carter statement. Apart from mentioning the castle, the entries speak vaguely of her origins in the pantheon of the outer gods and even more vaguely about what she actually looks like. In most cases, she is simply depicted as a standard tentacled monster. Fewer simply depict an enormous maw and some also insinuate that she occasionally walks around in the guise of a beautiful woman. This has probably earned her the nickname ‘Divine’. I had quasi fool's freedom here. For her figure, I was inspired on the one hand by the Queen of Hearts from American McGee's Alice and on the other by the famous bust of L'Inconnue de la Seine. It is said that you can see her other figures in the many mirrors of her castle….
