“Ahhhh noooo racial impurity, the horror, I’m losing my miiiiiind!” - HP Lovecraft upon seeing any human being, including himself
The horror of the Other was a continuum that started with non-WASP cultures and ended at Azathoth gibbering in the cosmic void
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown
–H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature
He had a thing for fish and cephalopods.
Bet he would have secretly loved hentai.
Cephalopodes are great tho
Ohhhh I thought the deep was based on Aquaman
Maybe he had a bit of Japanese blood too?
If you didn’t see Lovecraft Country on HBO, I highly recommend it.
Yes it starts Jonathan Majors and that sucks but the showrunner/series developer is a black woman and I fucking love that Lovecraft is spinning in his grave after a black woman made his stories better.
he spun hard enough
run before the frogs start croaking
Were there any sheep in his stories?
There were goats
Wait until you find out what his cat was named
Apparently his uncle named him that
Still probably should have renamed him
That’s pretty hilarious given that his English master race is basically just the same Briton stock as the Welsh but with trace amounts of old German tribes.
I knew who this was about even before the image loaded.
