The eldritch horror remains a horror and was not the result of white man's hubris

>I am angry about things I am angry about

Tell me bros; I dislike "magic" and such (demons, rituals, angels and shit) but like alien horror. Is Lovecraft's Cosmic Horror just far-out sci-fi horror, or does it have magic and elves and shit?

nu-cthulhu is comprehensible because normies took him and just made him a squid head dude. Pic related is the original sketch and idol. Those are in-universe just artistic works created by people across the world at the time that he was stirring in his sleep. He also doesn't JUST live under the ocean, since R'lyeh is his prison and depending on interpretation could be a portal to another dimension and not just a tangible location on earth. All of the structures follow Non-Euclidean geometry and humans can't tell up from down.

Honestly, it's overrated.
Lovecraft never took it too much further beyond
>It's unknowable, but scary, and to know it is to go insane.

It's all the spinoff authors that turned it into a slightly higher-brow Hellboy.

The fantasy flight games give people spells and shit, but honestly while I admire their aesthetics and find their games fun, it really is a shitty depiction of lovecraftian horror if you get down to it. You straight up kill starspawn with gatling guns in their games and it's not even that hard.
But while modern depictions of the mythos tend to stretch the occult shit to its logical extreme and add spells, the original stories only went so far as rituals.

Original Lovecraft is pure science fiction but later writers who took over the Mythos introduced spells and weird elemental shit.

>Hellboy
Never could get into it since it's magic-based. Yes, I'm autistic like that. I only follow a few set genres. And horror scares me. Well, supernatural horror. Gothic and Cosmic I can do. Zombies too. But as soon as you go into Witch, Demon, Ghost territory, I'm out.
I see. I found a torrent (about 10GB) with audibooks from Lovecraft, and wondered if I'd give it a shot now that I'm mostly out of shows and such.

Why are the mods so fucking gay on this board?
I've had more posts deleted, more bans and more threads removed for the slightest off topic comment. Do we literally have tranny mods? If so and you faggots read this, please kys. You're shitting up the board and you have a small lifespan so fuck off.

Keep in mind also that lovecraft's "rituals" usually don't even actually summon an entity. They're just madness induced behaviors.

So just LARPing ala Eyes Wide Shut? I'm getting the vibe that it's ultimately Sci-Fi Horror, so it should grab my attention.

This board might as well be Yea Forums - Shitposting General. You must just be getting really unlucky. Be glad this isn't Yea Forums, those nigger mods don't piss around there.

Yea Forums mods got their asses shattered so hard they're on permanent lockdown.

What happened?

>Non-Euclidean geometry and humans can't tell up from down.
Why was Lovecraft such a brainlet?

Not him, but I remember that around 2013 it was a playground of shitposting. Lots of creative and fun content and then it seemed like they hired national security to, as he said, lock it down. I'm sure the same thing will happen here eventually. I thought it might once Hiroshima doubled down on the advertising bucks and invented 4channel.

>Original Lovecraft is pure science fiction
False
"The Temple" is pure Lovecraft and it includes a lot of supernatural themes (old Gods, cursed images, supernaturally induced madness), even the protagonist is driven out of his mindset of wanting to explain everything rationally by what happens to him.

>with audibooks from Lovecraft
Narrations actually work really well for Lovecraft

Why are Yea Forums threads so cringe and boring

>Called "Old Gods"
>God is eternal and thus older than them
Uh...

God doesn't exist in the lovecraft mythos, christcuck

The characters in Lovecraft's originally stories killed star spawn with handguns, attack dogs, Interwar era torpedoes, and in one instance something resembling a magic spell.

God is just the One you fucking faggots. If you're in the realm of dealing with cosmic horrors and interdimensional fuckery then God is taking a backseat, and also every seat.

Wrong Azathoth is the only god there is

Is there ANYTHING more söy than lovecraftian "horror"?

Based and Pythagorapilled

But non-euclidean geometry is as old or older than euclidean geometry.

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

>Filled it with vice

>“The Harlem Smoke”. The negro had been knocked out, and a moment’s examination shewed us that he would permanently remain so. He was a loathsome, gorilla-like thing, with abnormally long arms which I could not help calling fore legs, and a face that conjured up thoughts of unspeakable Congo secrets and tom-tom poundings under an eerie moon. The body must have looked even worse in life—but the world holds many ugly things.

>there had grown up a very unusual colony of unclassified slant-eyed folk who used the Arabic alphabet but were eloquently repudiated by the great mass of Syrians in and around Atlantic Avenue.

You don't have to say he was a good writer, but you can't say he was soi

Can anyone translate Jamal's babble into English?

What movies do Lovecraft right? Has it literally ever been done?

he was pretty soi IRL

Making an adaptation of anything can possibly never be done "right" because there will never be total satisfaction for autists. I liked Dagon a lot though.

AHEM

I remember thinking "The Resurrected" was a good adaptation of "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" when I saw it.

I think Dagon was pretty good.

>All of the structures follow Non-Euclidean geometry and humans can't tell up from down.

The whole earth is non-euclidean geometry. Considering the fact that it is a sphere.

No it isn't. Non-euclidean geometry is from the end of the 1700s. Only then did people try to do geometry while discarding euclidean axioms.

But this sounds like an absolutely based AND redpilled story. Should be a kino.

this
cringe, the bible wasn't even a well-written satire

kek

the funny thing is most of lovecraft's writing are actually subversions of a ton of "lovecraftian horror" cliches
eg they beat the monster in the dunwich horror, the motives of the monsters are explained in the color out of time
its the modern interpretation of "DUDE WHAT IF ETERNAL AND UNKNOWABLE COSMIC HORROR" that sucks, not lovecraft himself

a fish! No!
*starts losing mind*
omg! a nigger! No!
