People are afraid of aliens because stories tell us that the first thing they do is cut us open. We think that's horrible and monstrous, yet when watching this animation, I think we can all agree that the curiosity of humanity would lead us to do exactly the same.

[@foghornproductions1101]

Spot on! Thanks for the support!

[@buttAttack]

of course we fear things smarter than us because we know exactly what we would do..

[@Blackferret66]

It's like in Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness. The human explorers think the Elder Things are dead and vivisect them. Then they awake and, seeing what the humans did, the Elder Things do the same to them.

[@foghornproductions1101]

Very good reference! Thanks for the support.@@Blackferret66

[@Brainflayer]

I think the reason we're afraid of Aliens is because we know what we'd do to them and worry that they'd do worse.

This narration is the one I've enjoyed the most of every other audiobook! The slower pace and pitch of the voice really immerses the listener in the eerie story 😌♥️

Without the video’s illustrations one can almost paint a near identical picture in one’s mind of the happenings within this story, based on the very fabric of our own trauma and fear. Very very well written and very well articulated.

This is one of my favorite horror shorts about one of my favorite cosmic entities. And I really like the design of the King in this one. I've always pictured him as having a humanoid shape, but his robes and mask hiding a completely inhuman anatomy. Having the mask break away and set it free is a great story telling mechanic

2:57 Real talk, if I was working in a military base's infirmary and saw _that_ on our new prisoner, I'd probably just drop my tools, walk straight to the mess, nick a couple bottles of whiskey and a chair, and walk to the opposite end of the island to get wasted until this all blows over, all the while whistling the chorus of _"Fuck This Shit, I'm Out"_ by The Theme Song. At least if I got black-out drunk, the liquor would somewhat dull my perceptions and memory formation to whatever impossible madness is about to go down. And if anyone tried to impede, threaten, or reprimand me, I would not give a damn to anything short of a squad of MPs training their guns on me. Hell, being thrown in the brig for insubordination or desertion would probably be the second safest place to be when the shit inevitably hits the fan.

I have lost two cats in my life and I can tell you it is not the death that hurts it is the fact you mistake things when they are gone you expect a meow and find silents you expect a rub on your leg yet feel nothing you think a loud call is gonna come for dinner or breakfast yet nothing happens that is what makes you feel sad it's what really hurts, now what happens when you die and you feel the relaxation of your limbs and body as they flop no more care or worry free in the world as a spirit then you get thrust back into the corpse of your old self and now you are tormented by the corpse and pain of your nerves as you are forced to move and suffer every movement your simply something feeling what would be endless increasing agony as you want to return to peace in death that is the fate worse than death so the man here being banished from death and doing what he did I do not blame him as many would want somebody to understand what they are going through the same way as all you would want is some sort of revenge against the tormentor and from what was told death banished the iron head man to the worse fate he could so why not take people form him by bringing them to life and going against the nature of death and the guy which caused you to live through hell plus like I said before you want somebody to feel the same way you do and if you are undead what better way to have people understand what you go through by reanimating the corpses of people to have them to be undead to though this may not be accurate I hoped to give my thoughts and feeling about this

In story I'm writing main character is a sort of nyarlathotep, only good thing about him is him preventing the Azathoth like figure from consuming the world, of course he does it for self gratification, establishing cult around himself, remaking the people and environment in his image, crawling towards singularity, but his own indulgent nature prevents him from turning his victims into mindless automatons. I didn't even start by writing a lovecraftian story, characters over time grew into the lovecraftian molds.
