Be they Eldritch Abominations, Cosmic Horrors, Non-Euclidean Obscenities or the other menageries of preponderances which exist beyond the veil of our perception... where are the gods you pray to now mortal? Is your mind strong enough to endure the madness of the truths beyond three dimensions?

There must be something that can handle such madness...
It seems like people who break from it are those that are too sturdy, their minds already structured and hardened through years of accepting what they feel is truth.
A mind that is malleable, flexible, supple... it might be capable of enduring such madness.
The mind of a child for example...
An innocent mind, one that will be stretched and strained, its psyche fracturing at the seems as they endure the overwhelming knowledge and sensations they experience.
A young mind can withstand such abuse though... it will build back what was damaged and grow to accept the unknown...
Then again, it might just snap from the strain and the child will perish in the sea of infinite swirling chaos.
That's why you always bring spare children in case one breaks.

>>18189272
reminds me of a lamer version of this album cover
The only god I've ever dreamed about is Lovecraft's Nyarlathotep, and the things that happen or are communicated in those dreams are often weirdly personally significant.
This picture here reminds me of a time that I dreamed of the silhouette of a man, and at the edges of his face were lumps that writhed and wriggled in and out. It makes me think of that.
>>18189338
It's a madness I am aesthetically drawn to, that's for sure.
>>18190305
No, we mean something that defies physics, an extradimensional entity or experience, like taking a psychedelic and suddenly seeing the different dimensions twirling around, and then realizing that there are two other entities before you, because the dimensions are swirling around you and your friend and there are two other swirls. You are connected to several dimensions that contain two equally multiplanar entities that does not exist in this world. Everything is connected. Reality does not exist. You fourth-dimensionally phase through the surface of your bed and feel a hundred copies of it all around you in fractalized imagery. You have slipped through, and there are others who want you there.
We mean something life-changing and terrifying and beautiful. We mean something cosmic.
>>18192143
Then why is this usually visualized as "big monsters".
Also who can fear such an abstract reality. Most non drug users have never experienced such a thing before. It seems like one would be as upset by this as one would be having an NDE or a vision of an angel. As in the idea of it seems so abstract and unimagineable that it does not strike me with fear. Just a big 'meh' if it happens, it happens. No contextual experience. No basis for fear, to me.
>>18192197
Well, it is a very amoral sort of experience. It doesn't exactly frighten me, but sometimes I almost get that fuzzy feeling that happened right before I fell through the bed into the other places. They wanted me to come. Someone did. However, it was alien. I had no anchor or basis for reality with what I was experiencing. I saw it as if I were awake but spinning... I mean, it didn't feel like a dream. I almost know I went somewhere. Lovecraft's stories also contain some more benign phenomena like phasing through dimensions and the connection between the world of dreams and our reality and such.
Salvia divinorum (90x was the strength of this particular one). Pick it up sometime.
Someday, I really want to try DMT.
>>18192197
As for "why is this usually visualized as big monsters," it's because the main entities that became famous were the more comprehensible ones with physical shapes. The most powerful Lovecraftian gods are sentient forces. We all exist within the dream of one, and if he ever wakes, we will all cease to be.
Lovecraft has a lot of Gnostic and occult ideas in his stuff. It's really cool. There's a story with astral projection, inter-dimensional reincarnation, and ego death. I feel a profound sense of beauty and horror simultaneously about the universe, so it's a very appealing sort of idea. Utterly alien creatures give me that same impression of beautiful and horrifying.

The fear is more one of fear of something that is beyond your comprehension affecting you because that would be a thing that you could not control or overcome. That and the idea that everything you thought you knew about reality being wrong. Also when one sees an eldritch thing one's mind breaks because it is something that shouldn't exist and is an affront to reality itself. So there's the fear of that experience as well. Fear of the insane as well and the fear of the loss of your own sanity.

I saw this thing in a dream once. it was about 15 to 20 feet tall, the worms (or tentacles in the photo) were smaller that this, and it was as if it had broken out of some sort of a prison because it had shackles on it's wrists and ankles. This thing could run really quick and it destroyed a lot of stuff, including multiple planes. This thing would eat anyone it came across and was brought about by a shape-shifting bee/bird statue called "the beacon".

There are no artist representations of it, but the christian god as described in the Bible is a pretty accurate description of a madness/death inducing being.
>>18189338
actually (imo) it's the other way around
those with a strong mind, a good sense of themselves, their "ego" can withstand the madness of such a situation.
being able to go into said situation and not let the outside influences change them or distort them.
a young mind can be influenced, it can be corrupted easier.

>>18192197
>why is it big monsters
well let's look at it from your perspective
these massive monsters can't exist in our world (sorry /x/ it's true)
their size alone would crush them on land due to gravity
>what about thicker bones?
maybe so, but the heart would have to be massive.
>ok so they have a bigger heart
ok, let's assume they breath oxygen.
our atmosphere isn't thick enough to enrish their blood well enough.
food supply, these things would consume hundreds to thousands of tons of food just to keep their calories up enough to move, let alone destroy cities.
now let's say these creatures ran off of some energy type, say they pull energy from a different dimension, sure, would negate blood, and food.
still have the issue of bones.
so let's say you just witnessed one of these lovecrafitan creatures
ok it doesn't drive you insane, but what might do the trick is comprehending how such a thing could exist.
that's the kicker
>>18205310
>Being this retarded
Seriously, I'm telling you from one horror fan to another, there is nothing nearly as frightening as a good well put together horror book.
Take "House Of Leaves" for example, books like that find a way to weed themselves into your mind and make you paranoid on a level that movies simply can never do.

that might be the something
>>18199956
>hurr durr it's like wizard of Oz!!!! but scary

>>18205325
Maybe the fact that these things can never exist is what makes them so impossible to comprehend, think about it. A literal living impossibility, a breathing paradox. Imagine watching the fabrics of space and time rip each other apart as it tries to compensate for the fact that this thing could not possibly exist, yet it exists none the less. Now imagine you are watching this thing descend upon you, imagine the sanity shattering effect just witnessing something like that could have on a human mind.
>>18205310
>>18205347
>Hehe, you think THAT is scary?? Maybe you should watch something REALLY scary like the babadook or ot follows, *Hits vape pen* yeaaa look at that clouuuudddd. Anyyywayyyy you dont know what real horror is, but I guess not everyone can be a horror pro like me. Tough luck kid.

unless you can take it at face value.
that would be your undoing, over thinking it.
if oyu could witness somehting liek that and say to yourself "ok some creature form the ether is coming out of a giant portal....cool"
you could possibly keep your sanity
>>18205357

Or maybe because it's an adequate proxy for that which cannot be sanely or coherently perceived? Plus it's one of the few hallmarks of his work that hasn't been appropriated as a recognizeable fixture of other genres (sorry, fish people and witches don't exactly strike modern readers with the same other worldly aesthetic that they might have back in the 1920s).

Sit the fuck down you have no idea what that even means.
>>18185889
Oh fuck yeah Carpenter Brut
>>18208319
Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these.
Non-Euclidean was typically used by Lovecraft to describe abstract, alien or inconceivable architecture; shapes and forms which defied our conventional understanding of geometry.
There are some things in this world that humans are not meant to know. The mere flicker of knowledge, an accidental glimpse is all it takes to drive someone insane.They are the indescribable, unpronounceable, unthinkable creatures that lurk just outside our sphere of knowing. Eldritch Abominations aren’t native to here, at least not if here is any place that normal folks (or humanity itself) belong.

>>18218390
Good /x/ threads are always founded in subject matter which stimulates imagination & wonderment of the unknown or almost knowable.
Role-playing threads are nothing more than mindless potato chip snacking intended to keep someone's short attention span preoccupied for that moment in time, a diversion of no real intellectual or recreational value, much like Hunger Game threads or other time wasting drivel.
If /x/ threads could be likened to sports then these role-playing threads and such would be fantasy football. If /x/ threads could be likened to video game franchises then role-playing threads and such would be every buggy half-finished tween targeted flavor of the month "muh hardcore" game that upon release renders every previous title in the franchise either obsolete or unplayable. If /x/ threads could be likened to sex, then these role-playing thread and such would be cyber-sex... You get the idea.
It's just vapid enjoyment for short-attention spanned millenials who think slender man is the apex of spoopiness.

fug, all of those newage memetier characters.
The old monk lets out a sigh. For nearly a hundred years now, he's sought the Truth. He's traveled far and wide to meet religious leaders and philosophical giants to discuss the true nature of the universe.
He isn't satisfied. He knows men pervert the wishes of their gods to their own ends. Science has only revealed so much to us.
He now meditates in the silence of a deep cavern. There is no outside world to distract him. It's just him and his mind.
He mouths silent chants. He is emaciated and unkempt, hungry and thirsting. He is well-disciplined, taking only what he needs to stay alive.
He seeks the Truth on his own. He sends his mind outwards. He sees trees and rocks, landscapes flying by, a blue orb in the darkness. He flies past stars and planets. It's beautiful.
He goes further, watching the galaxies dance. Glorious nebulae. From this distance, it all starts to make sense. The Great Machine churns forever onward with its infinite cogs and wheels. They all serve a purpose no matter how small. Indeed, it is meant to be thus.
Meant by whom? He journeys further. The universe becomes insignificant to him. It is just one band of blackness. Chains of light and dark encircle each other, infinite possibilities. These chains are just some of many.
He follows the chains. He sees the hand that holds them. He sees the ones they bind.
The cavern screams endlessly. The monk saw all too clearly.
He saw the Truth. It saw him, too.
