<br />
Is magick real? Could it just be an as yet unknown form of quantum physics? Lovecraft oftentimes used scientific theories to explain the supernatural and occult. In the end, Lovecraft's cosmic indifference supports Gerard 't Hooft and Leonard Susskind's Holographic Universe principle; we don't matter especially because none of this is real. <br />

I'm sure many of you are familiar with our anime style tentacle girl that we had commissioned back in 2014. Now, there's a statuette of an anime girl named Cthulhu.<br />

A female anime character with a similar style and color scheme, no problem, that happens a lot. Even one that is specifically named Cthulhu and meant to be an anime school girl representation, we could let slide because they've already done that with Nyarlathotep. But the hair tentacles? No, fuck you. You stole our shit. Not like we can do anything about it, in fact, I'm sure I'll even pick one up. And unfortunately this kind of thing happens all the time. I guess it just proves that the First United Church of Cthulhu is spreading further every day.</div>

People like to dismiss Lovecraft as either just a man of his time or yeah, he was pretty racist. But that is inaccurate and brushes off a difficult topic for many to talk about, when there is much deeper, darker reasons for Lovecraft's behavior. Take a look inside the mind of Lovecraft. . .Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747139482944479880.post-12105710831804586872020-03-24T23:07:00.001-07:002020-03-24T23:08:13.306-07:00Detroit Apoc City <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've done a few versions of Chainsaw Alice myself as well as commissioned several artists to do their version, so they are hard to miss. Any Google search or Google image search of her brings up all my work. And when you check out Cupcake Cult's shirts, most of them are stolen or "altered" IP (Intellectual Property) of someone else, so probably not a coincidence. Such an honor that someone liked the idea of Chainsaw Alice so much that they stole it. Maybe she's finally on her way into the zeitgeist. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747139482944479880.post-4246560025023160022019-09-11T17:16:00.000-07:002019-09-11T17:16:12.281-07:00Chainsaw Alice in Wonderland 2 - title + cover reveal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The First United Church of Cthulhu is evolving and changing shape. To buy a commercial property they want a 30-40% down payment up front as well as a solid history of income flow to qualify. Priests are allowed to live on property, thus selling my current home would free up income towards the church. But they said my day job would not count towards church income. And that size of down payment is ridiculous, obviously intended to keep small businesses from purchasing, forcing them to rent at higher rates and reserving purchasing for other investment groups. And that would eat up too much of the money from the sale of my home, so I would not be able to furnish and decorate the church properly. And current church income is too small and fluctuates too much from month to month to qualify.<br />
<br />
So I am currently working with realtors and contractors to see if I can qualify to get a small piece of land and get a house built on it. Then I can build a big Cthulhu statue out back and we can host some private events.

Miskatonic University map with notable locations. Everybody loves maps. I like to have them when I'm writing so I whipped this one up. I used Dave's Mapper (https://davesmapper.com/) for the initial layout, then added all the school buildings as they normally appear at establishments of higher education. I really like the "non-Euclidean" aesthetic of the layout, the chaotic pattern makes me think that after decades of mysterious occurrences and random damage and destruction of various school buildings that the campus is a place you can easily get lost or turned around in. Feel free to use it for your <i>Call of Cthulhu</i> or other horror RPG or whatever.</div>

I have seen this medieval illustration used for a lot of different memes and it has popped up again recently. Let me tell you the real story of this picture. It is from the Bible, and it is the passage I often give as example to show the actual nature of Christianity; one that is eerily present in modern Christian belief. This is the true spirit of "love, tolerance, and forgiveness" that so many Christians espouse.<br />
<br />
I normally don't bag on the Christians too much because their religion is doing such a fine job of destroying itself. But I feel this illustration needs its proper context given.<br />
<br />
It is a depiction of Judges 5. I will cite verses from the King James Version.<br />
<br />
As you may or may not know, the Israelites (first Christians) were, and still mostly are, a very violent and warlike people; despite the peaceful teachings of their lord and savior Jesus. This passage is about Deborah who became a leader of their people as they were fighting foreigners and everybody around them, or in their terms, being oppressed. Though it says at the very beginning that it was the Lord, their god, doing this to them because they were shitty human beings.<br />
<br />
Judges 5<br />

1 - And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead.<br />
2 - And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin, king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.<br />
<br />
<br />
6 - In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through byways.<br />
7 - The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother of Israel.<br />
8 - They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear among forty thousand in Israel?<br />
9 - My heart is towards the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.<br />
<br />
<br />Eventually, after 20 years, the Israelites defeat their Canaanite "oppressors." Sisera flees. He seeks refuge at the tent of Jael.<br />
<br />
<br />24 - Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.<br />
25 - He asked for water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.<br />
26 - She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.<br />
<br />
She gives him milk and butter then hammers a tent spike **through** his temples, then smashed him so many times with the hammer that she knocked his head off.<br />
<br />
Loving Christians indeed.<br />
<br />
31 - So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.<br />
<br />

How come they never taught this one in Sunday school?<br /><br /><br />

Chainsaw Alice returns! After her trials and tribulations in Wonderland, Alice has a whole new world to explore and escape from. This dark domain is being invaded by Mythos creatures determined to harness the immense cosmic powers that dwell therein.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The original <i>Chainsaw Alice in Wonderland</i> was a young woman's journey of self discovery (of chainsaw decapitation and tentacle sex). Now she will have to confront and cope with those revelations while fighting her way across a dreary landscape to stop the enslavement and destruction of this place.</div>

"I must find a way out."</div>
<br />
<br />
The Lawnmower Man is dead on the line<br />
The Blood Twins are missing, with Flu from behind<br />
Shadowslaves, microwaves<br />
Living in a time when love is a crime<br />
<br />
Closing in on you<br />
I'll pass you in the end<br />
Time was always the enemy<br />
But I thought you were my friend<br />
<b><br /></b>
No loyalties, no royalties<br />
If I'm defied you're dead to me<br />
<br />
Bruised and broken<br />
A worthless token<br />
Introvert, it's gonna hurt<br />
For what was unspoken<br />
<br />
You either don't or you know<br />
Feed the Nightflowe<br />
Deskinned, taken in<br />
You should have been Roe'd<br />
<br />
Risk is a life and you'll never take it<br />
I'm back is a truth and you'll never break it<br />
Just do what you always do<br />
Smile along and fake it<br />
<br />
Trapped in my hostility field<br />
Shooting at you with temper flares<br />
No one's free, except for me<br />
I hate you and no one cares<br />
<br />
You'd better watch your Suistryde<br />
Better men have died<br />
<br />
<br />

"This universe is mine. I am GOD here."<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chaosium is AFRAID of our Cthulhu Mythos RPG -- Don't Let Them Take You Alive. They had it kicked off of DriveThruRPG.com! They must be intimidated by the competition of our little, FREE game. But that is probably a bigger indicator that their own sales are lagging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can download the full color FREE PDF <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ymo6wvy8jemiwlx/Don%27t%20Let%20Them%20Take%20You%20Alive%20-%20online.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<br />
Or if you'd like a physical copy, you can get one <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Let-Them-Take-Alive/dp/1979905711/" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the details of this silly situation. I am an author who works in the horror and Cthulhu Mythos genres. I have 22 titles to my name as of this writing. Characters are the most important aspect of any story, and I tend to overwrite everything. So after writing all those books, I found myself with a ton of leftover characters, cults, evil corporations, alien gods and mysterious monsters. So I slapped some stats and dice rolls onto them and put them in their own game book, as a source for other roleplayers to use in their own modern horror or Cthulhu Mythos based games. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have always given it away for free. DriveThruRPG has a "Pay What You Want" option and I always promoted it by telling people to just enter zero dollars and get the free pdf. Their site was just an easier way for random gamers to stumble upon it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I got a notice from DriveThruRPG that they had pulled it for violating Chaosium's copyright, claiming, "it uses the Call of Cthulhu rules and stats without permission."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cited United States Federal Government Copyright Law FL-108, "Copyright does not protect the idea of a game, its name or title, or the method or methods for playing it. Nor does copyright protect any idea, system, method, device, or trademark material involved in developing, merchandising, or playing the game. Once a game has been made public, nothing in copyright law prevents others from developing another game based on similar principles."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically, you can't copyright game rules, stats, attributes, etc. DriveThruRPG didn't care. They said they are aware of the law and that there are court cases pending on this issue. Sure, right, what bullshit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They said I would have to change the game. I asked how can I change something if you won't tell me what the violation claim is specifically for? "Strength attributes, detective skills, hit points, etc, these are still game mechanics. Mechanics that are used in thousands of games, both tabletop and computer-based." Again, they didn't care.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I'm just making it available and will keep making it available, still FREE, through an online storage site. Download it now in case they try to have it removed again! Cthulhu fhtagn!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alice
woke me up at 4am out of a dead sleep, saying that she wanted to tell
me what had just happened. For a chrononaut she had terrible timing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Chainsaw Alice in Ooverdare</span><br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> There
was a sad little man who lived a sad little life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> He
wasted his time hating. Hating everyone, hating everything. Hating
kings, and hating queens, and hating cats, and hating cards, and
hating secret breakfasts, and hating quiet sunsets, and hating games,
and hating fun, and hating love, and hating hate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> After
many adventures across many worlds, Alice had retreated to the
wondrous rolling hills of Ooverdare. Not retired, mind you. For a
chrononaut, the expression, "a time and place for everything"
was very, very literal. Right now, at this time, at this place, was
her everything. No past, no future, only right now. Retreat,
repast, recover. Unwind, don't rewind. She could change her past if
she wanted to, but you cannot. Besides, why would she want to? If
she did, then she would not be the she that she is today. Good, bad,
or sideways, she liked herself just the way she was.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now,
the sad little man had taken to calling himself Fateweaver. And
everyone told him it was a very good name. A powerful name. A
meaningful name. A presentient name. But it wasn't, not for him at
least.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Fateweaver
hated time, thus he hated Alice. He believed, incorrectly, that
since she was a chrononaut, that she had all the time in the world.
He wanted to take all her time since he had wasted all his time.
Then he would have all the time for all the hate that he loved to
share with everyone.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> But
how to steal time from a chrononaut? "Eureka! I will gather an
army of time trolls from the depths of all the darkest worlds, and
they will have the power to take all her time!" he declared to
himself. And so he did. Big time, small time, even trolls who
really had no time at all; they all made time, to hate with
Fateweaver. They marched under his false flag that flew low and
flapped frantically as they crossed the spidery-legged terrain, up
and down, over and around, a million creepycrawlies, predators of the
dateshifter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> They
hurled rocks, and axes, and barbed comments at her cozy cottage.
"Why must they always attack at tea time?" Alice wondered.
She slipped on her boots and walked outside.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With
a wave of her hand, time stood still. But with this many trolls, it
would not last long. Time was a slippery thing, and it marches on,
whether or not she or anyone else wants it to.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"The
price of peace is peace." Alice went to find out who was in
charge of this blunderous undertaking.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She
found Fateweaver. The little man in the big hat. His pride was not
hidden but displayed. She unfroze him. "Tag. You're it. Now
what is your game?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I
hate games," he replied. "And I hate time, and you are
having the time of your life, so I hate you. I will take all your
time."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Did
you honestly believe that time trolls could harm me? I knew they
were coming before they did. I used their own time against them.
And it takes me no time at all. You see, I simply ignore them, and
they are not there. I have no time for them and they burn up all
their time." The trolls all vanished. Gone without a trace.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"What?!"
exclaimed Fateweaver in confusion. "Where have all the time
trolls gone?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"You
cannot waste my time, but you are testing my patience." She
spun him around and he fell to the ground. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I
have come undone." He sat bedraggled, moping.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"My
time is my own. No one can take it from me. But I share it with who
I choose. Good day to you."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> "I
need to get some more-comfortable shoes," she thought to
herself. What was that phrase again? "With enemies like these,
who needs cupcakes?" This girl, that's who.</span></div>

The <a href="https://www.printerstudio.com/sell/cthulhu-tarot" target="_blank">Trauma Tarot</a> is the official divination deck of the First United Church of Cthulhu. Draw a card, that is what is weighing on your subconscious mind, traumatizing your essence, tearing apart the fabric of your very being. This is where you need to focus your spiritual work.<br />
<br />
All the art is from Alfred Kubin, a tortured soul who saw nightmarish visions, tentacle monstrosities, and infinite hellscapes decades before Lovecraft had his similar experiences. Kubin is one of the Oculi ~ an artist, a seer, a person who has encountered the chaos and madness of the unseen realms and brought those images to life in our world ~ a beautiful, terrible warning of what lies beyond, or just behind a dream.<br />

Sunday overtime. Loverboy was wrong - nobody's working for the weekend, except me. I tell ya, trading away your life for a few extra bucks really grinds on you sometimes. The only reason I take any time off is when I have my kids every other weekend. Gotta jam in every last extra hour of overtime while it's available.<br />
<br />
Because the only goal I have is to get a physical location for the First United Church of Cthulhu. I got my house for a really good price after the banks crashed the housing market. And since they've been artificially inflating the value of homes, I have a massive amount of equity built up. If I can find a good warehouse property without too many psychotic Alice Cooper homeless types from <i>The Prince of Darkness</i> wandering around (yes, that is a problem here) or maybe a nice commercial property in a strip mall, next to a strip bar; then I can sell my house, use the equity to get a decent property, and have a 15 ft statue of Cthulhu made (industrial 3D printers can go up to 60 ft!).<br />
<br />
And you're going to love the rest of the build out. The church will became a one-of-a-kind worldwide destination. And when your coworkers ask what you did over the weekend, you'll be able to tell them, "I went to the live goat sacrifice and BBQ of Shub-Niggurath at the First United Church of Cthulhu." It might take a few months, it might take a few years, but it will all be worth it in the end.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747139482944479880.post-72666196001830624262018-05-05T19:54:00.002-07:002018-05-05T19:54:48.635-07:00My Kids Quit Star Wars - Has Disney Lost the Next Generation?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My kids have quit Star Wars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My son is 12 and my daughter is 10. They loved the original trilogy. They only saw parts of the prequel trilogy, but played a bunch of the video games based on them, saw the animated Clone Wars film, and watched a ton of the Clone Wars animated series when it was on Cartoon Network.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But now, they could care less, they've moved on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After Star Wars - The Force Awakens, "They killed Han Solo. That's bull crap. Chewbacca would have chased Kylo Ren and killed him. This is stupid!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My son went to see Star Wars - The Last Jedi with his aunt. Afterwards, he told me, "Dad, you're gonna hate this movie. They made Luke a grumpy old man. He quits being a jedi. Luke wouldn't give up. He'd fight. This is stupid!" I was glad to see that the bullshit Rian Johnson pulled with the film wasn't flying with the little kids, either.<br /><br />After hearing about Luke from her brother, and with the death of Carrie Fisher, my daughter didn't want me to take her to see it. "They killed Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, and the real Princess Leia died so she won't be coming back in the next one. I don't care anymore." She always liked Leia more than Rey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Me: "They're making a Star Wars TV series!"<br />Them: "It will probably be bad like the new movies."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Me: "Hey! The new Han Solo movie is coming out in a few weeks."<br />
Them: "That's not Han Solo! That guy doesn't look or sound like Han Solo at all."<br />Me: "But it's got Chewbacca in it. It's about when Han and Chewie were young." And Chewbacca is my daughter's favorite character.<br />Them: "We don't care. Go see it without us."<br />
<br />
<br />
And with that, my kids were done with Star Wars. They and their friends only talk about Avengers, Fortnite and other video games, and some of the random Netflix shows and animes. Star Wars no longer interests them. Obviously, they are only a small sample of kids, but if this trend is the same throughout their age group, Disney may have lost the next generation of filmgoers. The new trilogy has embittered young and old to the franchise, that and over saturation will "force" a decline in the public's overall interest. And they will only be able to mine so much nostalgia out of the old characters before those who grew up with the original trilogy lose interest as well; plus the loss as their generation dies off. It will stop being important to drink your prune juice out of an R2-D2 sippy cup.<br /><br /><br /><br />
