Providence.

I just finished Providence by Alan Moore.

Can someone please explain wtf I just read?

So Robert traveled around to write the great American novel, met characters and locations from lovecraft stories only to find out lovecraft writing was real. Then it flashes forward to after neonomicon, the world has turned dreamscape and the one girl who got fish assaulted gives birth to cthulhu?

fish-rape-porn mixed with lovecraftian bits here and there

I used this site to help me get a better understanding of what was happening in the comic.

>>92794612
That's Neonomicon.

>>92794509
Pretty much.

>>92794651
>That's Neonomicon.
As you can see, Moore bashers don't really read Moore, let alone his non-superhero stuff.
>>
>>92794846
Didn't know Moore wrote about fish-rape anywhere besides Neonomicon.
That's great news!
More fetish material!
>>
>>92795057
No, I didn't mean that. I meant that guy went right into fish rape because that's what all Moore haters do, but he didn't even care to see you weren't talkign about Neonomicon. He probably doesn't even know Moore wrote more than one lovecraftian comic.

I didn't mean to say you were wrong, just pointing out that other guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Sorry.
>>
>>92794641
Thank you. I'm reading it now, trying to get a sense of what happened.
>>
>>92794846
And if they have, they just don't understand what they've read. Only stupid people don't like Moore.
>>
Have you read The Courtyard? because it's actually the first part of the cycle, with that nazi guy in jail who speak a meme language.
>>
>>92794509
Also, Robert inspires Lovecraft to base the MC of The Haunter In The Dark after him.

Try to understand it as "meme magic"
HPL's fiction wasn't fiction, but it brought itself to the world through fiction. The mythos is also not limited by linear temporal boundaries so Cthulhu (which is the catalyst for it all to unleash) is both asleep and awake in the past, present and future.

The mythos is all real. Robert is a witness to it all: The Herald ("...for BLACK is his name and black is his destiny", as Hali's book/the "real" Necronomicon cites).

He then transmits all his accounts to HPL, "The Redeemer", who proceeds to reformulate them into his fiction, so they can be released to the world, thus becoming a part of the collective subconsciousness that brings them ALL to life when the boundaries between that Dreamworld and the physical world finally dissolve.

If agent Brears (FBI rapechick) hadn't read HPL's fiction, she wouldn't have started the chain of events that culminated with her being impregnated with Cthulhu.

The mythos, which was already real, needed to be known for itself to happen, but the thing is it was/is/will be already happening. I know it's abstract as fuck and I'm probably making a mess trying to explain it, but it's all really fascinating to me.

Also the annotation site will blow your mind with the attention to detail both Alan and the annotators have >>92794641
Some details seem so incredibly convenient that meme magic might well be making them happen.
E.g.: the "Caul" of Cthulhu that surrounds him when ¿he/she/it? is born

This series was great. I can't wait for my collected edition to come in.
