SAut Fare,

T'as bu n'est ce pas. Pourquoi veux tu voir des monstres. Cours t'acheter playboy c'est plus relaxant qu'un bain avec Cthullu.

Tchuss,

El chupacabra

Chupacabra: non, je n'ai pas bu, et ce n'est pas moi, mais Lovecraft, qui veut voir des monstres. Sinon, pour le sexe tentaculaire, il est clair que c'est un fantasme pour personnes manquant névrotiquement d'assurance.

Yes, of course I am obsessed with sex, like all males are.
But I promise I'm not seeing a phallic symbol in everything convex,
and a yonic symbol in everything concave.
Instead, while taking a bath and
thinking about a post I wrote back in April,
I made some connections between Cthulhu and sex.

And of course, the greatness of H P Lovecraft
isn't in the origin of Cthulhu, but in its destination:
not in where Lovecraft initially saw it,
but in what Lovecraft did out of it,
how he transformed his primary pulses and inculcated fears
into lasting pieces of literature.
Lovecraft gave its lettres de noblesse to tentacle sex
before it even became a popular art.
Not that nobility isn't a sick thing in itself,
oscillating as it necessarily is between armed slave-making and decadence.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled inactivities...

Très drôle ! Stephen King dit quelque chose de semblable dans Danse macabre :

(..) sex will almost certainly continue to be a driving force in the horror genre; sex that is sometimes presented in disguised, Freudian terms, such as Lovecraft's vaginal creation, Great Cthulhu. After viewing this manytentacled, slimy, gelid creature through Lovecraft's eyes, do we need to wonder why Lovecraft manifested "little interest" in sex?

Weird that Stephen King is unable to understand that Cthulhu is male,
while Shub-Niggurath is female.

King cite Freud. Il pense peut-être que la seule peur que puisse avoir un homme c'est celle du sexe féminin castrateur... Cthulhu n'évoque pas grand'chose de féminin à mon avis, tandis que Shub-Niggurath est "la chèvre noire aux mille chevreaux" et un symbole de fertilité.
