—————————————————-

Well it’s been awhile since I made a post about the mainline Gverse story, especially a character overview! I decided to fix that.

As always, to keep spoilers hidden I encoded the post, but while I normally use dna to encode, a cryptogram felt more appropriate for this character faction (and would keep this post from becoming massive). I used a substitution cipher, specifically a rotational one, but it’s up to you to decode for the spoilers!

These two are cultists for two different Lovecraftian entities, they get along super great (lies)

#I had a dream and it prompted a whole ass story with so much world building in it #basically eldritch horros have completely taken over but in a really domestic way #like just one day they showed up and while #yes #they are dangerous #they haven’t been destroying everything? #like now they’re just a part of everyone’s cultures and lives #places like R’lyeh are constantly sought out as a tourist destination #and some people have pet Shoggoths #granted they are of the smaller less destructive kind #but uh #yeah #I have thoughts about a world that’s just casually eldritch in nature #hp lovecraft #lovecraftian horror #lovecraft #eldritch horror #character design #oc #ocs

i really should have seen Willow 2022’s cosmic horror influences coming, what with the fact that one of the main characters has the last name HASTUR

WIZARD TRAVEL VLOG

This week I’m in R’lyeh City, South Pacific Ocean, during summer break. I received a visitation passport from my school, Vyr’los University of Occult Sciences. Today I’ll be rating my stay on this travel vlog!

Picture I took of the city. Super cool view, accommodations for air-breathers and void-breathers were pretty good as well. You do have to pay a fee for a respirator however so come prepared. I booked a room at the Motel 666 on the Main Street. It was pretty nice compared to mortal Motel 6’s. The blood rainfall shower head was really relaxing, it wasn’t too clotted either. Good breakfast. Wi-Fi at the bottom of the ocean was a bit spotty. 8.5/10, would stay here again.

The city was really crazily beautiful and clean, no issues with blood-drinking barnacles or leviathan larvae. Found a really cute ritual resale shop and bought a very pretty cursed abalone talisman. Great souvenir, go for stuff other than the city gift shop stuff. Cheap and overpriced, they use human skin pleather instead of real human skin leather on the souvenir Grimoires.

Had a very good lunch at the local Burger King in Yellow. They had vegetarian options as well as carnivore, sanguine, and omnivore. Went for a barbecue brain coral burger with cheddar and a very nice seaweed coleslaw. Staff was great, sociable and pleasantly surprised that I knew a bit of Old Tongue lol. Seems they get a lot of uptight scholarly types who only want to speak English or Latin. Ugh. I tipped extra. I’d give it a 6/10, only because the burger was very heavy on the mustard.

Finished the day at the Grand Library. A bit of a line for precautionary check in, you have to go through a True Sight check before they allow you in. Very considerate that they don’t want damage to anyone’s brains and/or soul. Sight check went excellently, they do get a few humans down here who don’t test well. Seems they had some blathering idiot wander down here a bit ago complaining about sunken unsinkable ships and exploding submarine refunds. An intern ate him because he was so annoying and honestly I can’t blame them.

The library was magnificent! The architecture was in the Non-Euclidean geometric style, with beautiful frameless candle lighting and individual cubicles and tables. You do need to grab a pair of cleated boots off the shoe rack to use the shelf ladders if you aren’t gravity-resistant or can’t fly, as they’re a bit unreliable. Twisty and upside-down in places, and follows the architectural curve. And the scale of it was astonishing. The most books I’ve ever seen in one place! They had some Old-Kingdom Egyptian classics ofc, a few Educational Necronomicon Textbooks levels 1-7 for student checkout, a bunch of mentally paradoxical novels, an entire Truthful Nonfiction section, and a rare books area that had a Sibylline Scroll and a Inter-Mentalic Elder Tome among other things (you need academic permission for these ones).

They don’t get too many Human students, it was super fun to see how different dimensional cultures interact. Hung out with a shoal of Deep Ones, Tyreemek and Ordantuuk were exchange students at Vyr’los, and I had some snacks with me from the surface so they and their buddies were ecstatic about the taste and concepts of tangerines and ritz crackers. The Library’s help desk was run by a very nice Shoggoth, she appreciated my compliment that her 2,437 turquoise-painted nails were very well done. I was struggling with directions to the Library Café, I don’t speak Shambler and it seems that the Café was a bit difficult to perceive at the time. Could be location, but I was pretty tired as well after a full day.

Ordered a nice steaming hot cup of mint-flavored insani-tea with extra honey and a dream puff pastry for the road. Tea was delicious, just sweet enough & not too hot and not cold either. Dream puff pastry was a little heavy on the powdered sugar, but the nightshade and lavender jelly with cinnamon was good. Came in a very cute paper bag with a little grinning book on it that said: “Recycle! Keep our oceans clean or else!” I’d give the Cafe a solid 9/10, and the wonderful library a very definite 10/10.

Went back to my Motel room for the night, the bioluminescent nighttime lighting is great for good rest. The wiggly-shaped glass aquarium on the bedside table had live eels and purple jellyfish in it and was very calming. I’ll have to remember to feed them in the morning.

Tomorrow will be a solid day of studying, 1/4 day classes, and maybe a trip to the nearby Taco Hell for lunch. I’ve heard they have really good nine-layer dip that Dante gave them 5 stars for. So far this trip has been thoroughly enjoyable, I definitely recommend a visit here, whether for occult academics, touring the city, or to see the nearby deep sea wilderness. There’s definitely a lot to see and do!

Hey There, Cthulhu

Cover by Kerin Engle

Filk lyrics by Eben Brooks and Allison Lonsdale. A Lovecraftian parody of "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's.

Phn’glui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wagh’nagl fhtagn ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming")

Lyrics

Hey there Cthulhu, down there in your sunken city You’re a billion light years distant and the stars look very pretty From R’lyeh So close and yet so far away Iä, Ië

Cthulhu Fhtagn, or is that k-THOO-loo fuh-TINE? I can never quite remember, ’cause I’m not in my right mind Since I met you No one corrupts the way you do You know it’s true Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea Oh, kill everyone slowly Except the ones like me Hey there Cthulhu, I’ve been studying your gospel The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful Where I see The death of all reality It fills me with glee So when the stars are right, you’ll come and do your worst But that’s okay because I know you’ll eat the cultists like me first When you get here I know that day is drawing near I have no fear Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea Oh, kill everyone slowly A billion light years seems so far Below the sea, beyond the stars Of these humans’ putrid souls you’ll drink your fill The fools will all make fun of me But I’ll just laugh maniacally ’Cause no one’s ever suffered like they will Cthulhu, I can promise you That by the time this cult gets through The world will never ever be the same Praise your dark name! Phn’glui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wagh’nagl fhtagn Boy, that’s really quite a mouthful, can’t quite cram it in my noggin Not today I try to say it anyway I feel my soul being to fray Still I away that frabjous day Cthulhu calay! Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea Oh, kill everyone but me Everyone but me

[strangestcase]

I know not all of lovecrafts horror holds up today (racism aside) but the fact that R’Lyeh is built in a non-Euclidean geometry freaks me the fuck out… looking at it must be so dizzying. that city is built on a geometry that isn’t the one the 3D objects you interact with follow. there’s one scene in the call of Cthulhu in which a sailor jumps off a building but miscalculates the fall because angles and distances work differently in R’Lyeh and he’s impaled in what he thought was an obtuse angle…

I tried to translate 『Suteki na Jumon』 !

[ official jacket illustration source ]

★ Disclaimer: I'm an english speaking casual student of the language and my translation is in no way anything but amateur, I mainly rely on kanji dictionaries and researching individual syntax with very slight MTL assistance. I started to translate Ikigusare songs late last year for myself in order to simply gain a personal understanding of the music and thought I'd share what I have for others now that the idols are finding traction in western spaces. very open to critique!

『Wonderful Incantation』 English Translation [ original lyrics and singable romaji ]

If you cried because you were sad, if you wanted to run away because it was so painful If it was so difficult you couldn’t speak, or so distressing you couldn’t move Try chanting this wonderful incantation and open the door to a world of delight

Iä! Iä! Hastur! Hastur cf’ayak ’vulgtumm, vugtlagln, vulgtmm! Ai! Ai! Hastur!¹ Outer space split apart and something strange emerged

If you moistened your pillow with a worn out love, self immolated with a violent jealousy If you feel the urge to kill, or if you curse this entire world Try chanting this wonderful incantation and the end will peacefully start

Iä! Iä! Hastur! Hastur cf’ayak ’vulgtumm, vugtlagln, vulgtmm! Ai! Ai! Hastur! Outer space split apart and something strange emerged

Try chanting this wonderful incantation and the end will peacefully start

Iä! Iä! Hastur! Hastur cf’ayak ’vulgtumm, vugtlagln, vulgtmm! Ai! Ai! Hastur! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh, Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn! Cthulhu fhtagn, Nyarlathotep th'ga, shamesh shamesh, Nyarlathotep th'ga!

Cthulhu fhtagn! Ai! Ai! Hastur!

I hope such a world is destroyed

¹ This is the fictional chant to summon the eldritch entities Byakhee of the Cthulhu mythos

researching specific Lovecraftian chants was so exhausting, the romanisation ends up reading in a pretty funny way!
