Pics:

1. The 'true' reason Einstein never got to unite all of the forces of the known universe together. He 'knew' what that actually means...

And, even today, our top astronomers fear anyone finding out about the all important "Centralized Knowledge of the Gooey Omniverse."

(Kidding!! Sheesh, you'd think some body died!)

2. A happy Lovecraft is a horror to see! Who knows what kind of existential menace he's whipping up right now!!

Yes. Right now...

3. The Gooey Teenage Writer's famous letter to Scientific American.

1906: Aside.

Life: This is another year in which Lovecraft didn't write any stories. It could be that he destroyed the tales, unsatisfied as to their 'quality'...

But, what an 'explosion' in scientific works!

HPL applied himself to several related articles & newspaper columns:

1. One of Lovecraft's 1st letters of comment, to the Providence Sunday Journal - in July.

2. Astronomy columns, in 2 different newspapers -

A. The Pawtucket Valley Gleaner in 1906.

B. The Providence Tribune, from 1906 til 1908.

3. HPL continued Jellygraphing his R.I. astronomical journal, from 1903 to 1907.

4. The 3rd Annual Report on the Providence Meteorology Station, in either 1906 or, 1907?!

5. Then, there's these five separate astronomy articles:

A. No Transit of Mars. (We've yet to comment on this.)

B. Trans-Neptunian Planets. (This letter to Scientific American has already been mentioned.)

C. Does Vulcan Exist? (Already done.)

D. The Moon, an earlier article that he now revised & updated. (Already covered.)

E. The Earth (is) Not Hollow. (Look no further, it's being examined right this minute! And, there's more to come...)

1 & 2. Lovecraft's greatest creations are still gestating, 'feeding' on his growing racial fears...

3. In the kingdom of the 'blind', the 1 eyed man is 'king'... It's the eyeless who are truly lost.

1910: Singularity.

This year is 1 of the least productive for Howard.

There's no stories til 1917.

No essays for 5 years.

No journalist reports for 4 years.

No poems or letters til next year.

No newspaper columns at all¹!

The only thing keeping HPL going seems to be his obsession with astronomy.

He's still writing down his nightly observations in his Astronomical Notebook.

And, Lovecraft's still exploring Providence, R.I. - alone at night...

An 'identification' with this city is now imprinting itself on his very psyche.

Howard has also taken to reading the early pulp mags of his day, which were a growing market back then.

The pulps's letters pages served the same purpose that Internet forums do today.

At 1st, HPL began offering critical analysis on the magazines's tales.

Sadly, his comments were filtered thru his own bigotry & racism.

Strangely enough, this would later become a central theme in Lovecraft's best stories.

Though no 1 has yet figured out why he was so virulent in his racism...

His father & grandma died too early to have influenced HPL's worldview that much.

That leaves his mother, friends or some incident he never wrote about.

But, Howard wouldn't remain in this remote darkness for much longer.

No, he was about to be noticed - in the strangest way possible - a poetical "letter war!"

But, that's coming up in 1913...

Let's explore other things - for now.

Note 1. Let's not forget that in 1918, Lovecraft will take a harsh, critical look at his early works - &, destroy most of them!!

For the most part, we don't even know what's now lost...

Worse, later in life, the same thing would happen to his more personal letters to his wife.

This 'lack' of info has lead to many mistaken beliefs about Howard - &, his life.

And we still have no answers to many of our questions...

Queries:

1. Question: Why did Lovecraft fear the unknown?

Answer: This seems to have started when Howard was still a child.

His grandad, Whipple, would 'entertain' HPL with gothic tales that ultimately led to the kid's 1st night- mares!

Though Whipple helped 'cure' Lovecraft's fears, human minds remember fearsome memories far longer than any triumphs.

Also, every time Howard's situation settled - some unknown factor would come along to make things worse...

2. Question: What's Cosmicism 'good' for?

Answer: It does seem that such dark tales put human beings down, more than it uplifts them.

But, neither of those responses are its true function!

No, Cosmicism is a warning. To not trust something unknown - with your life.

Because that's a gamble that you'll easily lose!

Or, as Michel Houdleberq puts it, "(Just) recall how we treat rabbits... (They) can be pets or serve as food. And, sometimes,... we kill them for 'fun'!!"

This is what HPL realized.

That our true 'relationship' with highly intelligent aliens would be as pets, food - or pests to be gotten rid of...

look I may have open several different translations of dante's inferno rn but if you try to make me read a single paragraph of lovecraft I am going to lock myself in the bathroom

Pues subo por aquí una recopilación de marcapáginas que hice hace un tiempo, que me gustan un montón :D

[dododan]

If you were asked to write a Rise of TMNT “Return of Kraang” arc for a potential season 3, what would you do? Dug the Lovecraft comparison and I’m use curious to know how you’d continue that kind of horror with the turtles’ next encounter.

I've never really thought about it, but I guess I would link it to Lovecraft's mythology.

Since the Krangs were once on earth, and we saw the remains of one during the battle that Shredder, perhaps there would be more on earth?

In the short story 'In the Mountains of Madness' there was a town of Great Old Ones that under the ice. Maybe there would be more old krang machines on Earth or they would be dormant and frozen somewhere. At the end of the film, we saw a Krang sister who was in the ice and taken somewhere. I think that if they tried to experiment on her, she would have had chance to escape. She was a bit of a hothead so maybe she would have calmed down if she found out that she was the only one left. She'd probably go to some old town or base the Krangs had before they were trapped in the Prison Dimension. I think she would have tried to get the key back and restore Prime, but she would have acted with more panache in more places. Maybe the Krangs would have some mutant dormant animals in an abandoned base underground for example?

Something just like the Shoggoths, but these would listen to her and wreak havoc.

I think the turtles would have quite a challenge to protect the key in the first place and defeat Sister Krang. I doubt it would be an easy task as they would probably still have Bishop on their backs, who would be all for getting rid of any degenerate (no matter if it's an alien, yokai or mutant).

And I think I'll end here, because I could go on and on about this topic~.

(You've given me an interesting concept, which I will write down somewhere and MAYBE develop in the future)

💗Relationships/Lovers

Oh, I have a few work buddies at the gambling den! All of them are dolls, I assure you, but all of them are just a teensy, tiny bit closeminded. When you work at a casino, you're either there to laugh at other's suffering or attend to feel better about yourself, because hey, at least you're not Steve Pinington!

But they all seem convinced that they have futures ahead of them and that this is just a stepping stone to better opportunities. We're all at the bottom of the barrel, inside a grave we can't come out of, there's barely any hope for us, and the only reason there's salvation for me is because I've accepted that salvation is going to wear a top hat and bowtie instead of a halo and feathery wings. They haven't yet come to that conclusion, but that's okay, they're still sweeties regardless. <3

Arkham, Massachusetts 1966

Pics:

1 & 2. Covers to collections of HPL's stories.

3. Cover of Lovecraftian Role Playing Game book.

Addendum:

1. Something that I didn't know before about Howard's high school 'melt- down.'

Lovecraft actually got a severe head injury, due to a 'long' fall - while he was exploring an abandoned house!!

And, it was bad enough for his whole head to be "packed in ice" night & day!

It was after this injury, that HPL started complaining of more blinding headaches & his vivid nightmares actually increased!!

2. Something I found out about Howard's sensitivity to being cold.

Lovecraft spent much time outside, even in winter, making astronomical observations.

Which, sadly, seems to have increased HPL's 'reaction' to cold weather...

This actually became dangerous in Lovecraft's adult years!

Enough to where short exposures, to temps in the 20° range, would cause Howard to fall out - unconscious!!

PS: Thank to hplovecraft.com & sffchronicles.com for these great 'updates.'

I keep finding new twists & turns the deeper I go - into the Internet. Long may it last...

Major Characters

Cameron "Cam" Morris (M/F) [RO]- Tech-savvy and mechanically minded, Cam is currently working as a mechanic after you and your group broke up, they are currently going to grad school for mechanical engineering, and still sends postcards and pictures to you. They are likely the sweetest person you have ever met, even if sometimes they are too kind to people who don't deserve it. Out of the four of you, Cam was always the one who needed to do what was right, no matter the cost, and even if what they thought was right at the time hurt in the long run.

Ollie Cohen-Reyes (NB) [RO]- Ollie has always been interested in macabre and strange, spending hours researching in the library any and every topic they were interested in. They get along with very few people, but once they are able to get close with others it becomes easier, and they become sarcastic and witty, and feel less uncomfortable talking about their interests freely. They work as an adjunct professor in forensic anthropology.

Rose/Rory Thompson(M/F) [RO]- They are a loyal person, first and foremost. When the group broke up they somewhat lost their purpose, but they ended up settling and working as a bartender in Misty Cove. Having taken boxing and self-defense classes from a young age due to their paranoid parents, R was always the best when it came to physical confrontation with the cases you investigated, even if outside of this they never seemed like someone who had that much power. They have become far more aggressive and assertive than the person you knew as a child, now having the attitude to match their technical know-how.

Terra Clarke (F) [RO]- You originally knew her by a different name, but she started transitioning early on life, and Terra is the only name you can remember now. Normally when you say it it's followed by a nasty comment. Terra was never someone you got along with when you lived in Misty Cove. She was antagonistic towards you and your friends, but a lot has changed since the last time you saw her. She now owns her Grandpa's diner, and tries to take good care of the people of the town, especially since the mayor won't do much. She is always exhausted now, but is very happy to see a familiar face, even if your history is muddied because of both of your actions.

Randall 'Randy' Clarke - Terra's grandfather and former owner of "Randy's Diner" always very kind to you and your friends, even if you all never got along with Terra. He has been running his diner since the 60's and has faith that his granddaughter will uphold the legacy.

Ana Lloyd - (An-uh) the mayor of the town of Misty Cove. Trying to "restore the former glory of the town" as if she didn't move here less than 2 years ago, and was the only person who ran when the former mayor died while in office. She has been selling some of the old public spaces to business developers as a way to "expand the town and bring in new people".

Mrs. Ms. Emerson Talbot- Your former English teacher from high school, you never got along with her that well. She, now in her 70's has only gotten more bitter. You just hope she doesn't hold grudges.

Dorothy Giles- Your co-worker, likely the only one in your office who has a soul anymore. A woman who would go to the ends of the earth to protect the people she cares about, even if those people are just 20-somethings that she has taken under her wing.

(Things are subject to change throughout the games development)
