Like I said, you don't actually need a priest to marry you, so technically two people could meet up with anyone as a witness, or even with no witnesses. This, uh, lends itself to abuse.

One one hand, Lovecraft wrote some effective horror stories, on the other they're based on a) "The universe hates you and a loving God is a myth" and b) "black people are the devil" so I can't like them too much. (Declare is a pretty good novel that blends Lovecraftian horror with a Catholic worldview)

HEY GAL posted:

you can't blend lovecraftian horror with a catholic worldview, the entire point is the world is a cold, inimical place that's bigger than you thought it was, older than you thought it was, and weirder than you thought it was (his stuff is contemporary with when we started to figure out just how old the universe was and how big) and doesn't give two shits about you. and the same can be said of your own subconscious/human prehistory.

i love the cosmic horror and discard the racism. he may have had wrong ideas, that doesn't mean if you like his work you're a racist

Declare's thesis is that there is a God and he's got all this poo poo under control, but that doesn't mean it's exactly fit for human consumption. It's not as dark as Lovecraft but tbh I kind of prefer my horror stories that way
