h.p. lovecraft make men obsessed
You should make a video about his cat
H.P. Made way for the best cosmic horror genre for many generations after to enjoy… no matter how insane he may have become during his lifetime.
@@xeth9074 small intestinal cancer is what killed him and at that time it was considered a disease too advanced for medical treatment
What about his cat though 😅
"I hope I don't go insane like my parents. Anyways, time to delve deep into psychological horror."
He went crazy just not outright like his mom and pop
self-fulfilling prophecy perhaps?
Perhaps delving into madness in his writing was his way of approaching it to avoid it taking over in his real life,
It's honestly a good way to keep ones mind together. You take control of that darkness tearing at you while also separating it from reality to a degree. It's why many great works come from trauma, its a way to take control and understand yourself.
Syphilis makes people go crazy. I am just curious if it was his pops or mom that killed them both
Fun Fact: Lovecraft also hates seafood, and that’s why a lot of his monsters have tentacles
Just wait until he finds out about SpongeBob
@@dante_0962 Man, I always wondered if Spongebob is the reason why I despise seafood. 😂
he also hated blak people, and that also bled into his literature a lot, their books still do have actually cool concepts tho, I havent read them but have read almost the whole lovecraft wikia.
How do you grow up in New England and hate seafood
@@TheDrewman-wy6pe idk man 😂
“An inherited taint or curse” i.e. “my grandmother was Portuguese? I’m going INSAAAAAAAANE”
As a Brazilian I can confirm we're all insane.
Every time I've heard the story, the discovery was that his grandmother was Welsh, which is somehow even more ridiculous to get worked up over.
@@magecat14 Back then, the English had a bad habit of claiming the people of the nearby Celtic lands were of an inferior race. This is best-known about the Irish, but the Welsh and Scots weren't left out of the slander. Since Howard was so racist he named two of his cats the N-slur, that would've disturbed him well enough. I will say if the actual answer is Portuguese, that would've been worse to him.
@@lysanamcmillan7972but the Welsh literally ARE inferior!
@@lysanamcmillan7972 To be fair one of the cats was named by his father and as a child he couldn't have really understood how bad it was, even less with how racist he became later.
it is impressive to think how the syphilis has shaped the art of H.P. Lovecraft, many other artists have also been inspired by the world around them.
Well, syphilis and a massive dose of racist fears about miscegenation and interracial marriages.
@@robertb6889I haven't forgotten about these "ingredients" of his art.
scott joplin died from it. and you cannot deny he was a genius
Only Jesus Christ blood can cleanse us of are sins come to Jesus Christ today
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void.
The Holy Spirit can lead you guide and confort you through it all
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
This is like saying "many people's personalities and values are shaped by their experiences" or "people's taste in food is defined by what they've eaten."
Like uhh yes? What would you like to tell us next? That the sun produces heat and light? That people tend to fall asleep after being awake??
Take notes future writers: Write what you know. When writing about horror, draw from your own personal fears.
I'm still looking for a horror story where I can communicate my acrophobia. It's weird that such a specific, relatable subject is so hard to concoct a premise for
Thank you, now I'm sad.
@@SpiderandMosquitomake a story about people being possessed and forces to jump from heights. The Happening did it, Constantine did it, properly a few more.
Time to write some cosmic horror story about the gas bill for this month.
@@SpiderandMosquitoever seen vertigo?
Of course they could not tell him. After all, "he lacks the constitution for math."
Ah, OSP. But the reason for that is chalk used to be used for math- in other words, if your lungs weren't good (bad constitution), you'd struggle to learn with all the dust.
@@dragonfire72Were chalks different back then? Gennuinely asking because in my classes they always used chalk and seemed like we were not behind other classes who had a whiteboard and wipe-able (surely this is not the right word) pens.
@@that1niceguy246 I wouldn't be surprised, since better chalks smudge and dust up less. And having that dust in your face wouldn't be good. Actually definitely that makes sense.
@@dragonfire72 The pencil was invented 1565. Fountain pen around 1636. 2-3 centuries before that Lovecraft.
Even if they preferred doing math with chalk, nothing would have stopped them from using something different. Given he was AFAIK homeschooled.
@@christopherg2347slates were used well into the 1900's, kinda like mini personal chalk boards. It would've been in his hands anytime he had to practice something
Psychotic episodes are pure nightmare fuel to witness
ever had one?
@dalton a relative had relatively light ones: it is deeply scary to see someone you care about being disconnected from a shared sense of reality. A bit like drunkness i suppose, but you have no idea when the person is going to be 'sober' and when they will suddenly go of the rails.
I'm bipolar with psychotic features... it can be horrifying to experience. Especially when you have awareness.
I take my meds for a reason.
Though I've never had super bad psychosis. I think.
@@daltongrowley5280 dont have it, y e t, might have it soon
@@TerrariaGolemi live in your walls
So you’re telling me, the reason that Markiplier played a dating simulator of a goat furry eldritch god can be Traced back to syphilis?
it's a small world, ain't it?
@@mewmew8932 next you’re gonna tell me that the reason furries exist at all is because of Tuberculosis.
Nah, that's just Mark's innate chaos energy. He wills WTF into existence by breathing.
The world is a strange place
Our timeline may often be awful, but there can be beauty.
"NO HOWARD!! DONT NAME YOUR CAT THAT HOWARD!!!"
And then there’s the klan distancing themselves from him because he was too extreme
@@johnplummer4785wait... what?
@@xeanderman6688he was so racist that THE KLAN THEMSELVES sent him a note not to associate with them
Actually, the cat was his father's first
even hp was embarrassed about his racism
It’s crazy to think the sheer level of disease, mental illness and even an undisclosed level of inbreeding would so horribly disfigure lovecraft’s life and psyche. Imagine knowing for a fact that almost everything wrong with you was passed down to you from generations of similar misfortunes, but never knowing what caused it, no wonder he thought he was cursed. Ironically in the shadow over innsmouth he blames a family curse on crossbreeding when in reality the reverse was the cause of his problems.
Yep. His family would've been much better off if they'd met some nice fish people instead
Inbreeding is prevalent in a number of his stories as the cause for deformity and evil in many characters, like the Whateleys of Dunwich.
If memory serves, he also wrote SOI when he found out he was part Welsh.
@@glasscardproductions4736 Yeah. In short, Lovecraft had serious issues (and ethnic bigotry got pretty obsessive back then, even compared to how disturbing it is now).
@@glasscardproductions4736 lmao what a mood.
Maybe the real syphilis were the parents we lost along the way
Is this scene from a privated video? I watched this channel's videos on syphilis and while interesting they don't contain the scene. I also watched their video on Lovecraft and this scene also isn't in that video. So if someone can link the video this is from originally that would be fantastic!
@@WhitneyDahlin This is a common running joke, with the original joke being "Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way", a very cliche and corny message.
People have taken this phrase and changed it based on the context, such as "Maybe the real disease was the friends we made along the way" or "Maybe the real potted plant was the friends we made along the way", the first of which is comedically dark and the second of which doesn't even make an actual sense, twisting the original phrase into something funny.
In this instance, the commentor's changing the word 'friends' as well.
Love craft was scared of literally everything, he even wrote a short story about his fear of air conditioning units.
Fear of being dependant on them while unable to fix then them when they broke, to be exact.
@@Karak-_- seems like a legit fear.
@@Karak-_- Northwest India: Relatable
Poor Lovecraft. A ton of unresolved trauma and possible mental issues resulted in both some of the best horror fiction ever written and a man who was terrified of everything different or strange that happened outside of his front door. He wrote a cautionary story about refrigerators for goodness sake.
The story was more of a caution on prolonging human life beyond its natural confines rather than refrigerators.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 I mean it was that too. Just as it preserved food it preserved people in that story. However he was *also* terrified of refrigerators and any other strange new piece of tech that he was not familiar with. He was scared of space, scared of the ocean, scared of the lands and cultures across the ocean, and absolutely *terrified* by how quickly math and science were advancing. But that's what makes his stories so good. They're great allegories for fears and cautionary tales etc since they do come from a place of genuine fear.
Just gotta get past the "ism"s in his stories, unfortunately. But it's also not surprising considering he was terrified of everything different from himself and the home he had known.
@@AgentSapphire no it didnt tho? The whole terror of that story was the professor using cold air to preserve himself past his expiration. Abd later on melting.
Lovecraft didn't fear fridges. Nor did he fear the advance of science. Quite the opposite since he was an amateur scholar who worked as a science corresponded for several magazines and even started a few science magazines of his own
He was afraid of marine life and the ocean and he was incredibly racist. But you ought keep in mind just about 99% of the " facts" about lovecraft on the Internet these days are either based on reds biased video essay or on memes.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527which story was that
And air conditioners. And the color spectrum. And didn't know how being lost at sea was like.
In a way, I've always felt so sad for the man, his life just drove him into worse things. it shows on how many letters he wrote that he felt so lonely that he had to constantly have the company of those he held dear to be happy. (some people say it was weird and it would have been better if he had written more stories instead of letters about the most mundane things of his life, I'm just glad the man enjoyed himself)
I'm actually happy his life was so horrible because he was incredibly racist. He was kind of evened out. His life was horrible and he was horrible, it was perfect.
@@nicholasscratchimagine judging someone for a status norm those days and wishing him a horrible life.
You are not better than him
@@darkwhispersstories47lovecraft was known to be incredibly racist even for his time. he even admitted late in life that he had been too racist.
@@romanphilson9275 that still doesn't mean you get to trash a person who was literally mentally ill, if you are better than them, thinking he deserved the miserable life he had because he is racist is just dumb.
And he admitted to it (potentially because he was sorry) so what gives?
@@darkwhispersstories47ah yes because having mental illnesses and acknowledging that you’re a terrible person immediately devoid of all blame simply because it was normal for the time
ah, yes the greatest eldritch horror of them all...Syphilis 💀
Right up there with being.........Welsh
Tabletop game writers: "Gonna get me summa dat!"
E
The conditions of the mentally ill back then was inhumane I only hope things that result in mental breakdown get better treatment
yeah but what Nancy Reagan did in the 80s was even worse
@@GiordanDiodatowhat did she do? ..again
Mental illness and it's treatments were pretty horrible until way in our times.
It started to get better - In the 70' I believe - and with growing understanding of our nervous system, the brain and stuff it only became ... well adequate ... in the 80 / 90. And while a far cry from decades gone by, even today it still has a lot of room for improvement.
Not so fun fact: soldiers we're committed to mental institutions for being shot.
So the tentacle monster was actually a metaphor for an STD... For some reason I can believe that
What's the explanation for his cats name?
More like a metaphor for other races. He was considered racist even by the standards of the 1920's.
checks out
@@J.Jonah.Jameson.Uncle owned the cat I believe.
He didn't change the name though
@@J.Jonah.Jameson.He was racist as hell 😂
Yeah, people focus on Lovecraft's racism, but his mental and personality problems really ran so much deeper than that. The racism was a symptom, not the disease. He was the literal manifestation of the "tortured artist on the brink of madness barely staying sane with their art" archetype.
He also turn a leftist later in life, but he was short-lived so that gets overlooked
@@FoxMulder-FBISeems legit. Racism and leftism go with each other. 😊
In HS I did a twenty minute book report on Lovecraft's necronomicon mostly going over his life and how it reflected in his work, if I remember right I think his mother and father died in the same psych ward but I'm not entirely sure
I had no idea he made the neceonimicon
@@thehazyblobYep, He invented the book for his stories. It derives from three Greek words: Necro-Dead, Nomos-Law, Icon-Image. Necronomicon could roughly translate out to, An Image of The Law of The Dead, or something to that effect. It's original Arabic name was Al-Azif.
Lovecraft's works are some of my favorites. Mainly due to the themes of pure ungodly dread they can inspire.
lovecraft is such a metal surname
Turna out that the real eldritch god was syphilis all along.
I can see why he had a good handle on the concept of existential dread.
As Hank Green would say
“It’s all syphilis it always come back the syphilis”
Bro got a villain origin story and instead became an author.
Not to worry. KaiserRedux made this come true
I think people overemphasize his racism (which 100% did exist and did affect his writings,) but don’t touch on his family life and the fear of carrying madness in your family may also be a theme of his “cursed bloodlines” stories than just being mixed-race
Also, people tend to forget (As always) that he wrote a bunch of letters on his final moments in which he stated to regret all of it.
@@mikehawk4204 yeah but the “he was a massive racist even for the time” narrative gets clicks and attention. Then young internet using kids gear that and take it as gospel using RUclips as a reference for their “knowledge”
Because people crave pointing out the flaws in others but when there is no more flaws then they’ll point out positives
He did in his later life try to get better and even had his closest friends keep him in check whenever he would say something. Some people realize their wrong ways and just want to leave those ways behind, and Howard was one of those people.
@@Mecha_mage Because he was a racist and that's not something to just sweep under the rug, I didn't even know he was up until I actually read call of cthulhu (the book with many different stories written by him inside) and it's evident that racism did play a huge part in it
in another alternative reality, hp lovecraft was a successful author of childrens book with Charles the Calamari cited as his most favourite character in his line of work
Xenophobia and racism also played a big role in his writing.
Yeah racism was more “standard” back then but even for that time Lovecraft was a huge racist.
Yeah, his cats name displayed that brilliantly
Well, to him, his small world was disappearing with the waves of folk that didnt give a damn about his world, and had no interest in understanding him or making themselves understood to him. Other humans are as alien as it gets on this planet, Lovecraft just reacted to it more strongly than others (in a bad way, obviously).
I recall that in his later years, as his life improved a little, he started becoming less racist. And then, as things were looking up for him, his friend shot himself and then he himself died of cancer.
Love craft was so racist that other people at the time were like “yo man chill out”
@@timurtheterrible4062 Life sucks sometimes.
I love this strategy of making new small shorts, highlighting past series y’all have done! Very smart and I also love to see shorts with actual content!
Honestly H.P.Lovecraft books are amazing and my favorite books to read and I do suggest reading them
H. P. Lovecraft came close making a writing career by creating stories about THINGS words fail to describe
That explains why the dude was scared of air conditioning. I just chalked it up to him being British
He was not scared of it, he was afraid of being dependant on it while unable to fix it when it broke.
@@Karak-_-that’s a pretty big reach
@@CrowofJudgement461 I've read Cold Air and that was my take away.
I love learning the stories behinds the ones who write stories.
I love how back in the day, you have one breakdown and you are put into a mental hospital until you die
I understand the video is about Syphilis
Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s Lovecraftian horror, or maybe it’s just syphilis.
He also had a phobia of what interracial relations would do to the gene pool that shaped his writings as well, hence why mutated humans feature so prominently (ie. Shadows Over Innsmouth)
Oh, the irony.
To be fair, there was an entire movement in the US and Europe around this and it was hugely influential to popular culture in ways we never talk about anymore. So, it wasn't just him.
Furthermore, let's also not forget that Lovecraft grew up being told by his parents that they were English nobility. Eugenics was largely built off of heraldry, so it really comes as no surprise that he delved into all of this.
@@cheezemonkeyeater True, but even Lovecraft's contemporary's at the time were like _"Dude..."_ and he was an unapologetic KKK supporter.
Cthulhu def looks like he'd give you syphilis
"hentai comes at a cost"
H.P. Lovecraft had the perfect life for his books. The man feared everything
So syphilis was the unknowable eldritch horror…
Lovecraft's families inherited taint is that he was actually a quarter welsh.
He turn something that can make him crazy into masterpiece
Well, at least he had a cat that loved him.
ah yes, the N-Man if I am not mistaken
Damn... I wonder what his cat's backstory was..
Makes ya think. What has shaped your life that you and others aren't even aware of yet?
Well To this day, rumours persist that Winfield had syphilis, but neither HP nor his mother ever displayed symptoms.
And He was diagnosed with cancer of the small intestine, and, ever the macabre-obsessed weirdo, kept meticulous notes of the various unpleasant ways his malady manifested itself. On March 15, 1937, ten years after moving back to Providence, Lovecraft passed away, his pain finally coming to an end.
Syphilis was so reviled that people intentionally tried to catch malaria to have a more socially acceptable disease. (Having malaria will kill Syphilis, the repeated high fevers making human body inhospitable to the disease. And malaria had somewhat effective treatments. While Syphilis did not.)
Fighting fire with a... flood?
@@Karak-_- well, the first official vaccine was made with malaria in order to stop syphilis, if I remember correctly
I love H P Lovecraft and the concept of eldrich horrors
I’m kinda surprised he didn’t know, since so much of his work stems from a place of disgust and fear of filth and disease, right?
He probably had an inkling but it's very likely his overprotective mother shielded him from such things
Let's not forget the frequently prevalent xenophobia, the idea that the farther you strayed from the "norm," the closer you got to chaos and evil.
Well, if you don't know someone good enough, how can you be sure they aren't trying to bring the end of mankind?
You should do a series on earnest hemmingway
Lovecraft is so cool, he even shares my love of cats!
You're right, he did write an entire poem declaring his love for cats and how amazing they are.
@@Mecha_mageMy man went through the most enriched words just to diss dogs and said cats are better
Now that's passion
He named his cat after his favourite Superhero, I believe.
@@J.Jonah.Jameson.actually it was he’s father who was the big “superhero” fan.
His cat and mine even share the same name!
How to become a famous writer: *give your parents syphilis*
Well for his entire life he never made enough money to actually make a living off of writing and died penniless. He didn't become the legend he ended up being until decades after his death
Wow! This makes total sence now. Anyone who has read Dunwich Horrors can see how his early experiences shaped him. Poor little mite.
I know people dislike him intensely for his racism (which is fair) but I just really.. pity him, he just never really got a break.
We aren't ganna mention what H.P Lovecraft named his Cat
wasnt the cat hs uncles or grandfathers
What did he name it?
@@ZombieDish while the cat was given to him as a child it is important to note that he also used that cat's name for the cat in The Rats in the Walls as well. So it wasn't as if he was impartial to the name.
Yes you're so original lol.
You're like the one dude who insists every time The Beatles are brought up that the fact John Lennon was abusive needs to be stated, even if its only tangentially related to the conversation.
The word with the N💀
“I hope I don’t name my cat something I wont regret later!”
Ohh so that's where he got the inspiration for The Shadow over Innsmouth
So what I'm hearing is that we wouldn't have lovecraftian horror if it wasn't for syphilis
Pretty much
GO mad?? I think it was already far too late for him!
Do a full video on him!! Maybe other massively influential writers!
And then even his cat had a mental breakdown, and nobody ever found out whether the cat had syphilis and what the cat's name was
We KNOW what the cat's name was.
@@andrewklang809 Oh yah?
In that case enlighten us with the cat's name
@@bobbyferg9173 Writing the cat's name gets you banned from whatever social media you post it on. I suggest a websearch.
@@magecat14
Everyone who speaks its name is cursed to be banned from any social media. 💀☠️💀
Man you weirdos are chomping at the bit to say that slur, huh?
Sad:(
First reply
My favorite of his works is the king in yellow; still gives me chills at night.
Yk whats wild? I was in that same hospital that hp lovecrafts father was in
This would then be the inspiration of the greatest game ever made
Which one?
@@Karak-_- bloodborne
PANR has tuned in.
question: did chthulu cause the apocalypse
@mewmew8932 he did not. The incident came about by the actions of one man's hubris.
those damn fish people took our jobs
all of Lovecraft work are basically boil down to the misunderstanding of science and technology in the eyes of a disturbed man with trouble life...bring a whole new meaning to "the worst horror in the world is the one we created for ourselves"
"Is there any history of mental illness in your family?"
"My memories are very confused. There is even much doubt as to where they begin; for at times I feel appalling vistas of years stretching behind me, while at other times it seems as if the present moment were an isolated point in a grey, formless infinity. I am not even certain how I am communicating this message."
And then he named is cat a slur
He did not, his parents did
Fascinating how that echoed in his writing
"Now that I wrote a best selling novel, I should name my cat!"
So it wasn't just that he lacked construction for math?
something im surprised wasn't mentioned here is also the fact that while mentally ill, his family raised him to be incredibly religious, and several of his creations were genuine manifestations of existential and spiritual fears that focused on his values as a Christian
Sphillus...it's not just for laughs....it can change the world!
Lovecraft wrote some great stories. Truly revolutionized the genre of horror. Arguably wouldn’t have the movies and books we have now without him. He was an influence on Stephen King
So, a "Lovebug" "crafted" Lovecraft?
Wait, is that his full name, Howard Phillips Lovecraft?
That's actually pretty cool. =)
For a long time I legitimately thought his name _was_ H.P. Lovecraft, good thing I learned the truth just now.
And as for the actual short. . I knew his life was just a depressing downward spiral as soon as he was born, but bloody 'ell that's dark, I really feel sorry for em. =(
Fascinating!
I'd like to think Lovecraft would be proud his works are still so popular
For all his issues, by writing about the terrifying and unknown and different and monstrous, he made it that much easier for those subjects to be seen and known and understood, and eventually be celebrated.
He was also really good at naming cats
H.P. Lovecraft: [says something incredibly racist even for the time]
R.E. Howard (internally): "Holy crap, is that what I sound like?"
R.E. Howard: "Dude, no."
let's all thank syphilis for giving us one of the best horror writters that ever existed
So, there is an artist who draws manifestations of mental illness as horrific monsters. It would be fitting if they depicted the madness caused by syphilis as a Lovecraftian horror
Do NOT Google his cats name
Whats his cats name?
Xnxx
I thought it was negro
N g er man
Oh, that's low-hanging fruit.
Get another joke about the man, he had plenty of racist nonsense to joke about besides a cat he never even named himself.
Don't forget the Racism!!
The racism is pretty much something "normal" in early 20th century America, and is not confined to the South...
@theotherohlourdespadua1131 Except Lovecraft was uber-racist even by the Standards of his time.
It's pretty embarrassing by today's standards
@@alexandersturnn4530didnt he get less racist with time when he married his wife ?
Sure, when he was younger. But as he got older, he realized he was wrong, repented and apologized profusley. Bet you didnt know that, did ya?
I'm glad the boy had the support of his beloved pet cat. /s
So, the real Cthulhu was really syphilis all along?
Thanks syphilis!
H.P Lovecraft pulled a Britain: invented something and proceeded to be the worst at it
Most brutal burn
British people pretty much single handedly sparked the industrial revolution so idk what you're on about
@@MarioSpice Britain won't give u free tea and crumpets for backing them lol
And?
He was the first, those who came after him could look at previous works to se what works and what diesnt, he didn't have that luxury.
wow at least he is good at naming cats
Syphilis even sounds like a Lovecraft character.
HP Lovecraft was also quite racist.
Lmfaooooo I've been a patient at Butler
As a BSD and historical fan... What a life Lovecraft had.
Asks what his cats name is, trust me
What's his cat's name?
