~~*AI*~~ brings forth a new age of absolutly garbage-tier shitposting thanks to the fact that now any absolute moron can proompt it to create an image that depicts any idea, no matter how fricking boring and trite it is, to serve as a "conversation starter" for another shit thread.
>threads werent being automatically generated by ai here for the past decade
...as opposed to grabbing a jpg off google for the same purpose?
Frenchmen, for example
>multiple ai containment threads
>people still refuse to use them
why
It's when I frick the squid directly in the pussy.
You literally wouldn't get it. That's the entire concept.
God and Satan would understand the two beings in the entire universe.
What the frick are you trying to say?
Horror that comes from the incomprehensible and cosmic dread, not "giant tentacles lmao"
Italians
horror that is heavy on the green color
Tentacles
Racism
Tentacles that make me scream for my cat's name.
Fish, a sense of increasing helplessness, a sense of decay that is irreversible, and typically really bad writing since all of the lovecraftian writers since lovecraft are utter shit who miss the point and focus on cataloguing, understanding, explaining, and connecting the monsters all because lovecraft jokingly wrote a family tree for an article in a magazine once
this but also lovecraft sucked dick at writing intriguing stories and is only remembered because it was very unique at the time
The first person to do something is never the best at doing that thing, but writing him off as irrelevant is equally moronic. There’s a reason it’s “Lovecraftian” horror
>a sense of increasing helplessness, a sense of decay that is irreversible,
Darkest Dungeon and Darkwood really nailed this feeling.
The ending to darkest dungeon is lovecraft kino. Everything you did was just to sabotage your ancestor’s shenanigans; the monster itself is invincible and the struggle futile. So take up you nugatory vigil…
Doesn't DD2 makes the monster beatable or am i remembering wrong?
havent played dd2 so no idea
Missthepointtard, part of the fun of writing fanfiction is giving your own spin on someone else's work. Nobody takes Lin carter or de Camps stuff as canon.
Indeed

Why there is so much focus on Cthulhu when he is shit tier compared to the scale of all the other gods in the mithos? Is it because his name is cool?
He's the only interesting one
And he gets hit by a boat, which is funny
He actually has a recognizable/marketable form
Unlike fricking Azathoth
I'm honestly surprised the king in yellow didn't take off, though.
Hastur is a dude in a yellow robe
Kinda boring compared to a big hentai monster
the sinking prophetic dreams of marrying a israeliteess with moderately large tiddies
Knowable
Describable
Common and easily understandable
Mostly about how scared Lovecraft was about people from other races, fish or random objects.
Hopelessness.
Horror that's reminiscent of the stories printed in weird tales particularly the horror of HP Lovecraft.
horror of the unknown, dread of the gaping sea of infinite darkness lapping at the edges of our understanding. Emphasis on describing the sensation and experience of horror. A twinkling of reverential awe
A meme when people use it to refer to "cosmic horror" despite lovecraft not being the first person to do it.
There are three elements something must satisfy to be considered 'Lovecraftian' horror.
> 1) There is an antagonistic element which the protagonist cannot be comprehended or definitively resolved.
> 2) That antagonistic element is immensely corrosive or cataclysmically disruptive to the protagonist's existence.
> 3) The Antagonistic force is not aware of, or does not hold any active consideration for, the Protagonist, The protagonist is simply too far beneath the antagonist's notice to register.
The unknown.
