#maybe I’ll try reading the Cthulhu Mythos someday… maybe

“average white Jazz Age American loved phrenology” actually statistical error. average white Jazz Age American only liked phrenology a little bit. H. P. Lovecraft, otherwise known as “Phrenologies Georg,” is an outlier and should not have been counted

#h. p. lovecraft #I made a valiant effort and read three different Lovecraft stories and then I just couldn’t take it anymore lmfao #The Rats In The Walls was actually a thoroughly compelling and enjoyable and batshit horror piece #if it weren’t for the fact that it featured the N-WORD CAT #sigh. anyway. it turns out my tolerance for bigotry in classic literature has an upper limit #and so far Lovecraft is the only soul to have reached that limit #maybe I’ll try reading the Cthulhu Mythos someday… maybe

People I’d Like to Know Better!

(Doing this three weeks late but lmao whatever)

Alias / Name: Puff or ckret2

Birthday: :U

Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

Height: :U five and a halfish

Hobbies: writing, RP, video games, leatherwork, artsy craftsy thingses,

Favorite Color: silver or purple or mint green

Favorite Book: who’s the sadist who wants it narrowed down to one. Long-time favorites include Grendel, To the Lighthouse, Good Omens, Wild Seed, Hitchhiker’s Guide, and I guess I’ll extend an honorary award to the Cthulhu Mythos even though my opinion on Lovecraft himself has dropped and these days my preferences run toward “people who deconstruct/subvert his writings.”

Last Song: “Divenire - Reimagined by Mercan Dede & Kora”—it just popped up in Spotify’s release radar so I can’t tell you yet whether or not it’s good. I think I like the original Divenire better.

Last Movie / Show: Currently working my way through The Vampire Dies in No Time. I think last movie was Ouija: Origin of Evil.

Recent Read: Rereading Dracula alongside half of tumblr. Also recently reread Huckleberry Finn to see what else I think about it now that I know more about the time period it was written in. Next book might be War of the Worlds or the second Sherlock Holmes Vs Cthulhu.

Inspiration: Me getting real tired of “asexual character develops a libido” narratives that AREN’T presented like a horror story, because I’m pretty sure that desiring to fuck would be exhausting. 2/3 of my writing comes from having a very petty literary pet peeve and going “how could I write the exact same scenario but in a way that I actually like.”

Story behind your URL: Alastor is a succubus and a buck. “Succubuck” was taken. I didn’t want “incubuck” because it implied a character too cis for what I planned on playing; and anyway on top of that I follow with the fact that canon’s been using succubus like a gender-neutral term and I knew if I called him an “incubus” that was the only thing anybody else would ever call him forever. Of the newer gender-neutral terms for succubus/incubus currently available, “concubus” had the best easily-available search results for anyone who sees me use the word, doesn’t know what it means, and googles it. (I try to make a habit of not using obscure terms unless they’re easily googleable.) Every day I’m disappointed I couldn’t use “succubuck.”

Fun Fact: I do a lil Sims 4 modding! Maybe someday I’ll post it where people can download it instead of just keeping it on my computer.
