Pics: More Lovecraftian movie posters...

1915: HPL Output. Part 1.

Intro: As a member of the UAPA, Howard was inspired to write quite a few works - mostly to do with the Association's inner workings.

But, that didn't stop Lovecraft from writing political & astronomical articles.

HPL also produced his fair share of short poems...

The following is an example from Lovecraft's war-hawk days.

The Work: "1914"¹ -

Opening Quote: "Parcere subjectis, et debellare superbos"² < Virgil³ in his Aeneid⁴, Book 6.

"Arise, Britannia⁵! At (your) sister's⁶ plea, And crush the... foe⁷ of liberty."

"Behold the hour... to prove (your) place, As friend & guardian of the human race."

"The (unquenchable) Goth, with murderous sword⁸, Defies (your) edict & ignores (your) word."

"Eve(r) daring... he plays the... brute, To scorn (your) greatness & (your) power dispute."

"(You) Queen of Nations! Smite into the dust, The proud invader, savage & unjust."

Whose maddened hordes, like... Vandals⁹ seek, To wrong the guiltless & despoil the weak."

"(One) who all his culture misemploys, In art creating less than he destroys."

"Imperial Mother! Cast... pitying eyes, On the sad spot where... Louvain¹⁰ (now) lies."

"Or, on... crumbling wall & formless mound, Where Gallia's¹¹... monarchs were once crowned."

"From North & East... bold barbarians poured, Dyeing the flowing Axona¹² with gore."

"The outraged Gauls¹³, defeated & dis- mayed, Survive alone thru England's¹⁴ aid."

Footnotes:

1. But, actually written in 1915.

2. The Latin quotation reads, "Spare the defeated & subdue the arrogant."

3. Virgil was the Roman's greatest poet. His name, properly spelled as Vergil, meant "rod (or) staff bearer."

During the Middle Ages, such poets were believed to be magicians - able to conjure dead spirits!!

4. The Aeneid was regarded as the national origin epic of the Roman Empire.

Strangely enough, Virgil died without getting to finish it...

5. Britannia is the Latin version of the British Pretani, "Great Britain."

In the 100s AD, Romans personified Britannia as a goddess armed with trident & shield!

But, this only covered the southern British Isles that the Romans had been able to conquer.

6. I believe that Howard actually meant the United States here.

However, on other occasions, Howard called the U.S. a "child colony" of the British Empire - so, who knows?

7. During WW1, the "Entente Powers" of France, Great Britain & Russia fought against the "Central Powers" of Turkey, Germany & Austria-Hungary.

8. Obviously, HPL meant the great German war machine, which used tanks, trench warfare, poisonous gasses & other 'modern' weapons - not just a sword.

9. The Vandals were a Germanic people from southern Poland.

They conquered Iberia (Spain), some Mediterranean islands & parts of northwestern Africa in the 400s AD.

In 455 AD, they even sacked Rome!!

10. 'Louvain' (now Leuven in Belgium) is so called by its French speakers.

This has led to some confusion with the nearby city of Louvain-la-Neuve!

During WW1, the Germans claimed that they were being attacked by the 'armed' civilians of this city.

So, they burned the whole city down - killing 300+ unarmed folk!

And, destroyed its cultural heritage!!

230,000 Gothic & Renaissance books, 750 Medieval manuscripts & more than 1,000 works printed before 1501 were turned to ash.

The destruction was actually an act of reprisal, which was legal international law back then.

Sadly, this city has been occupied by foreign troops, at least 3 times before this - during different wars.

11. Gallia is the Roman name for the Celtic land that is now known as France.

It is also the name of a fickle satyr (a half woman, half goat!) that called herself "The Lord of Misrule."

Shouldn't that read "Lady of Never- ending Party"?

12. Axona (now Aisne) is the Roman name for a tributary of the Oise River in northern France.

In 57 BC, Julius Caesar fought a battle there against the Belgians.

Though outnumbered & almost out- flanked, Caesar's forces crossed a small marsh & attacked the Belgians, who were disordered while crossing the Axona.

A great many Belgians died, forcing the rest of their army to retreat to their own territories.

Caesar, fearing an ambush, didn't pursue them then.

But, the next day, he attacked the retreating Belgians & killed more of them...

13. "Gauls" was the Roman name for the Celtic peoples that we now call French folk.

14. England is 1 of the "Home Nations" of the modern U.K. country.

The name comes from the Middle English words Engle-land/Engelond. These names appeared after the Norman Conquest of 1066 AD.

But, the Normans finally ended up calling it Engleterre.

Much earlier, the Romans had known the same land as Anglia.

The Angles settled in the Southeast of Celtic Britain, starting during the 410s AD.

They were a Germanic people who once lived in an area between Den- mark & Germany.

Joining their fellow Saxons & Jutes, they took advantage of the Roman desertion of Britannia...

(And, might tie-in to King Arthur's defense of Camelot - in western Britain!!)

Next: Part 2.

sdcc 2023 highlights (for me)

marco checchetto thor sketch <3<3<3 i'm still not over it. He was lovely in general, and the care and time he put into that drawing i'm just jashdgjklahsjlkdghajkd

hearing JMS utterly drag the whole concept of AI writing. Very heartening.

honestly both the JMS panels i saw were gr9, he's just really fun and enlightening to listen to

meeting chuck tingle

actually the horror panel Dr. Tingle was on was a lot of fun. among other things, a point was made about the similarities of horror, humor, and erotica writing in that they're all considered low-brow and generally disrespected but they're also all very visceral and dealing with deep emotional stuff and, yeah.

finally getting to debut the brand-new AoA Loki trio, result of literally months of work largely by me, and also getting to take out the amazing scepter prop gifted to me recently by @lady-of-misrule

a handful of lovely thor cosplayers to our lokis. (why is it that big dudes joyfully cosplaying Fat Thor do more justice to the character than Hemsworth in the worst fat suit that anyone has ever created? forget I asked, we know why.)

some good photo shoots in general, gotta share some of those pics at some point

hearing from the folks at the TORn booth that there is a Rohirrim show in the works that will be NOT Amazon-made and will have PJ's involvement in some capacity, so... some hope there I guess?

running into several friends and acquaintances. which seems to happen way more often than it should given how huge an event it is?

and lowlights:

IF ONE MORE FUCKIN PERSON REFERS TO MY OBVIOUSLY CAREFULLY CRAFTED COMICS LOKI COSPLAYS AS "VARIANTS" I'M CRACKING SKULLS. This goes double to the people with the TVA display setup who tried to get us to come take pics at their booth and were so shocked and appalled when we turned on our heels and said absolutely fucking not. sorry not sorry that i told them to read some damn comics.

the cops kicked out the taco truck that always used to set up behind the convention center. they took away my cheap and tasty california burritos and left me with overpriced mediocre convention pizza. fuckin bastards. I swear, the security lady who told us why the taco truck wasn't there was right: it was probably because they were offering an affordable alternative.

just about sweating to death before the weather finally cooled down a bit, but even then it was muggy as hell and actually rained in San Diego in July like wut

June Wrap Up

I’ve been waiting for June 2022 for over a year now, and it’s weird now that it’s ended. I got married on the 25th (pics to come!), and while it was perfect and beautiful, I am so freaking glad it’s over. 😆 The whole process and lead up was just exhausting. But now I can chill a little before I need to start freaking out about my exams.

Books Read: 10

This has been my best reading month of the year! My favorite was probably Juniper & Thorn even though it’s not actually the highest rated. And my least favorite was Rank and Beauty, which I only read one volume of. I couldn’t do the other two. I was so bored! Luckily Goodreads has the first volume as it’s own book, so I still got to count it.

In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens by Alice Walker - 4 stars

Daniel Deronda by George Eliot - 4 stars

The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Gary Chapman - 4 stars

Blood Orange Night: My Journey to the Edge of Madness by Melissa Bond - 5 stars

dont say that about my depressed gay son. if anyone is sapiosexual in that duo its philip. hes google but in a cute outfit and he’s constantly looking up obscure pornography

philip is a sapiosexual ally but historically he has only been attracted to dumbasses. shoutaro meanwhle is the type who thinks it’s deep to see a pic of someone fingering a book like it’s a p*ssy

I fixed my tumblr picture kerfuffle from the other day so my queue is all loaded up again with fun pictures. I am VERY behind on posting Misrule Legacy pics as it's almost time for me to start gen 2, but I'll be posting pics of the legacy gen soon and I'm updating the family tree more this week💖 I really love making cas photo shoots would people be interested in me doing one for Zelda or even the gen 2 babies?
