Lovecraft's writing, while good, usually is about monsters and big bad things (which gets sort of predictable and repetitive). Bob's "story" is all about how a few bad choices can lead you to an existential nightmare and you are too old to do anything about it until the grim reaper decides to show you mercy...and the worst part? Unlike Lovecraft's works, which are all in the end fictional, Bob's story is real...it can happen...to any of us.
The Idea Guy was malicious (trying to scam money out of Chris, which not even the worst trolls before him went that far and that is borderline criminal), he manipulated his fantasy land with some psychological "hacking". Sockness seems to actually believe Chris's delusions soo...I dont think so. He isnt the one giving the idea.
Or not she will be probably sit on her ass doing nothing in the hoard house or she is probably dead
Well both love craft and Chris have one thing in common they are both racist
So are you saying that turns out Cthulu was an analogy for niggos?
falling off the straight path was chris' death knell
Read his books. He points out some of his "classist " undertones in a tale about inbred "white trash" in the backwoods. Also racial topics are easily spotted. Like Innsmouth people's phenotype is a clear reference to mix racing. But I don't think he was more "racist" than the average American during his time.So are you saying that turns out Cthulu was an analogy for niggos?
Im aware of this, I read his books (they are very good but Im not gonna say he is my favorite writer). I just imagined Cthulu being black and having steriotypes that Chris would surely think its okay!
Well there were 2 lovecraftian creatures with the n words in their namesIm aware of this, I read his books (they are very good but Im not gonna say he is my favorite writer). I just imagined Cthulu being black and having steriotypes that Chris would surely think its okay!
"yo motherfuckers, ya cant comprehend me with ya bitch ass mortal cracker eyes? That be racist, bitch!"
That was his death nail to his hoard coffin
Maybe take him to some place in va and probably kill him there oh god
That’s like one of Lovecraft’s biggest themes though. Bob is the hapless protagonist whose curiosity leads him to his inevitable doom, Barb is the tome of forbidden knowledge that he never should’ve touched, and Chris is the unfathomable otherworldly horror the protagonist encounters, precipitating the terrible revelation of his insignificance in the universe and leaving him a broken husk of a man.
But like I said, there is always some "otherworld entity", with Bob, none of that was truly necessary, all that it required was him making a few mistakes here and there with frightening long term consequences. Besides the whole "monster that makes you see how tiny you are" trope has been done to done to death even before Lovecraft (where you think he got his inspirations from?), he just made it more "mainstream". There was no monster necessary to fuck his life up (Barb comes close tho), simply just...life itself.
If Barb takes out Sockness with a long hidden bob weapon we could see a fantastic true crime white trash horror trial. Trailer trash alzheimers mom kills to protect the innocence of her delicate trans daughter....could be a decent grift for the wily old bag...
That’s incorrect, but I guess this isn’t the place to have that debate. Anyway, I think you’re taking the joke a bit too literally.
