Yeah, unfortunately, the AI voice kinda threw me off a few times. Sometimes it stops in the middle of a sentence, sometimes it doesn't stop when it should, sometimes it pronounced things incorrectly (in a mythos where it's already hard to pronounce things, lol) Aside from that, all the research, editing, and scripting for this vid was done well
@@thegamersconclave8709 That's a great idea, actually! I think I'll give that a shot. I had to do the same thing when listening to the audiobook of an actor who slurred from long-term drug abuse. Idk why I didn't think of that for this lol
I’ve been an avid fan and reader of Lovecraft’s work since I was a teenager and this is the first time I can say I actually understand the bulk of the Cthulhu Mythos universe and its timeline. Great video!
Funny thing about the Elder Things is the group that came to Earth are basically an amish group who rejected their extremely high tech and focused more on biology. There is a colony of Elder Things somewhere on the galaxy in a binary star system I believe
The Cthulhu Mythos Timeline is an entertaining and edifying labor of love which although completely worthwhile suffers from a slight unevenness on various levels but is, ultimately, a must-listen for Cthulhu enthusiasts.
@@cosmicandbodyhorror I'm definitely looking forward to it! Would you ever consider doing novels explained as well? Because I love the body horror surrealist sci-fi genre but I also feel like I'm just not quite smart enough to see what they're getting at a lot of times 😂 for example I'm reading through Annihilation (a Sci Fi body horror book series by Jeff Vandermeer) now. And I feel like the themes and symbolism is going over my head most of the time. 😭
I really like this. It’s very much like what I imagine any timeline in an actual Mythos story to be. Every record inside the Mythos is the result of dark experiments and the madness that comes to all who are even slightly successful in learning any of it. Even those who acquire the most informative volumes are incapable of making sense of what they find. They always require more knowledge from other volumes that are themselves incorrect, incomplete, and even incomprehensible. It’s an endless cycle of madness. It’s contradictory. It’s unimaginable. It’s hopeless. This is good. Well done!
But its barely a timeline at all. He tells us what happened a billion years ago, then suddenly jumps to a half hour long summary of a Lovecraft story involving the alien/monster billions of years in the future.
Lovecraft left his universe open to expansion by future authors. There's no canon or non-canon outside of the works he wrote himself. There were no appointed successors and his works are in the public domain. Nothing can be commissioned or formally deemed "canon" because it's not officially an IP with established gatekeepers, publishers, or surviving family members who own the rights. Many of the works in this video are interesting spinoffs. I wish the Lovecraft universe was more fleshed out and these stories, written by credible authors, do that. There's too much potential in his universe and it'd be a shame to leave it unexplored.
@@ziadhulhok who cares, it was enjoyable and nice to hear, i mean if someone wants to be really informed about it they should buy the books and read only the cannon, but i still enjoyed this video
@@NecrontierGoBrrrr well this is almost equivalent of saying that you are studying something only for fun even tho you know the actual study is infinitely more fun than this. Because the actual cosmological video on the Cthulhu mythos is far more crazy than you understand. Arguably the largest in fiction and remember that The Supreme Archetype is the ultimate Master of the Cthulhu mythos. Not azathoth. He is fodder on his own verse.
this voice doesn't sound real to me, i often get this uncanny vibe that makes me feel like it's AI generated, but then again sometimes i do think it sounds like a real person but maybe with f*kd up speech patterns from a disability of some kind or maybe english not being the speaker's original language. ...idk, but i don't like that i can't tell and it does sound fake to me at times. it makes it hard to focus.
I've had a dream of the big eye with tentacles, made a horrific deep resonating sound and it's tentacles had been attached to people's brains pretty much creating a network of human minds but these people didn't know how much of themselves was enslaved or influenced by this thing from a different realm. I've had the dream before i started looking into h.p love crafts works..
Hard pills to swallow: most of Lovecraft wasn't Lovectaft. Lovecraft was participating in an already existant occult fanfiction, and even in his publishing career, he had original contemporaries doing the same thing. Not even Poe dreamed in a vacuum. Lovecraft succeeded in making this ongoing cosmic-horror "dreamtime" to become real and immediate to the daily life and banalities of the segregated south. It is now the "Cthulhu mythos" because of this exceptional genius.
It contains stories from other authors. Most of the Cuthulu Mythos are from other Autors. Lovecraft thought it is a good idea if other authors expand on those stories. You can’t really make a timeline with only Lovecrafts work because some of his stories just doesn’t connect. The other authors made Lovecrafts world amazingly wonderful and chilling, and it’s a nice touch too :)
Who is John Glasby? This is the second video I have seen and your always talking about other authors. EDIT: if all your going to do is talk about fan fiction it should be marked as such and people wouldn't waste their time.
A flute, hmmm in lord of the rings their are things under the earth. Older than the world and time. Everything is scared of them... And with the music at the start of time. Do you thibk he was inspired by this?
No, he was influenced by Hinduism at that time is merely a illusion created by the lower existence and everything is happening simultaneously (past present and future exist all in the same time).
Lets make a video about the timeline of events in the cthulhu mythos *Video is mostly made up of non lovecraft works* I mean I get that lovecraft wasbt very clear at times and didnt really attempt to connect most of his stories, but its hard to call it a timeline of the cthulhu mythos when most of the stuff isnt even from lovecraft.
Yep that's what happens when other authors get involved. It was inevitable, even though Lovecraft wanted others to expand on his stories, that they'd stray heavily from the essential themes that he put down. I enjoy the other stories for what they are--science fiction with some Lovecraftian elements
It didn't even start with H.P. Lovecraft. There were clear antecedents, with Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allen Poe, Robert W. Chambers and in the case of the Dreamlands stories, Alfred, Lord Dunsany all preceding Lovecraft. Stuff to do with Hastur, Carcosa and Lake Hali came from Bierce and Chambers. At the Mountains of Madness re-interpreted Poe's Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.
This whole thing was ruined with the use of an ai read over. If you going to make interesting content dont be lazy and use an AI read over. Thumbs down
My teeth hurt so badly... if you're someone who neglects their teeth, I promise you, years from now, maybe sooner, you will regret it so horribly badly and you will long for the days when simple temperatures of food didn't put you on your ass when trying to eat something. It keeps me awake at night and the early quiet hours of what should be the beautiful mornings from such pain. I need to get at least 5 pulled, 5 more I should say as I've already had 3 pulled and 1 rot away to just a hole. So 9 will be gone by the time I'm at least pain-free when at rest. I have abandoned certain foods I used to love as it is simply too painful to have their ingredients or textures on my cavernous teeth and exposed gums. Take good care of your teeth, folks. Don't let depression win, if you are strong willed, anyways. It beat me, it still beats me down daily, but I wish I had at least maintained my teeth. Take care of your teeth. Listen, and take care of your teeth or regret it deeply before you're even 40.😢
I like the concept of this video, how about the whole thing with an AI voice instead of someone actually talking about it or a real voice over loses me
Well done and contradictory as the people who came after Lovecraft as far as continuity goes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Cthulhu isn't a high priest of Azathoth or this would have been mentioned in call of Cthulhu in examples of the temples he had built to Azathoth , even Lovecraft didn't try to establish such continuity in his own work but preferred flowery expressions and descriptions over solid continuity, All of Cthulhu references to his god Azathoth are non existent so no not a priest of anything because nothing is preached. It's Ok to have this inconsistent timeline as an outline. The mythology progressed beyond Lovecraft and without supervision or moderator so, it already happened and was explained as such and such by each Author without anyone in charge of continuity. If words really represented their literal meaning you could make a more accurate narrative.
It’s supposed to be contradictory and inaccurate. No mortal may know all the mysteries. Each neophyte is only given a glimpse at what lies beyond before they are consumed. Those who come after learn only fragments of those glimpses that were recorded by those who are no more. None can with certainty say what is true or false, right or wrong, real or imagined.
your spoken piece is full of lies regarding letters supposedly sent by HPL. Please include a statement at the vid beginning to say that nothing in the vid is actually legitimate ,what you are doing is not wrong but to give the impression it is cannon is flawed, please do state that this is 100% non cannon and you are just telling a story you made up
Na I won't watch the "anime recap" AI voice. You could have paid for a voice mask, spoke this yourself into a mic and stayed unknown. But that's work who wants to work
This could have been great, with a real narrator. I can’t with the AI voice. 😞

I wish they had to put it in the title so I don't get my hopes up
Speed it up to 1.5, it flows way more naturally.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you could provide detailed insights on this video, I might take them into account for the next part.
You speak like a bot.
So happy I found this! I definitely want a part 2 or something where you summarize more of his stories!
Now this is on my to do list

I like how Lovectaft, Derleth, Chambers, etc had a shared literary universe
Not Derleth, he straight up contradicts Lovecraft
Gustav Norby outsmarting 200 thousand people
Great video with great research on the topic, great job you get a sub👍
Thank you.

Is this solely based on the original works of Lovecraft or does it also include stories from other authors?

It's universally hated. It's right up there with unskippable ads.
Low effort AI generated videos are getting older than the old ones...
Kuh-thoo-gah,not 'thugga'
How about you let me know when you make original content pal. I wanted to drunkenly watch some lovecraft stuff, instead I up the ass with AI
No music, extremely mediocre ai voices, downvote and channel block. This is trash.
huh?
Na I won't watch the "anime recap" AI voice. You could have paid for a voice mask, spoke this yourself into a mic and stayed unknown. But that's work who wants to work
We use a premium voice now, soon will hire a narrator
Dude does this even contain any Lovecraft in it? Fanfiction is a nice hobby, but it's not for me
Garbage video
ooo no ai voice crap
Use to listen to audio books on tapes… people crying over ai voice are just to needy lol
F’n A.
Can't with the ai voice
Put it at 1.25, it sounds kinda natural that way.
😂 Everybody is loving what races Made.
Cant take this video seriously when i keep hearing "thugga" right off the bat lol
