At this rate it seems like once Graham has enough support to make a play for the Reverend-Colonelship, Lovecraft might just seppuku on top of an Enochian runestone and let him have it
"What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark
- Thread starter Napoleon53
- Start date
"May the things of the Void welcome me! ALL HAIL!" Reverend-Colonel Lovecraft's final words, 1962.
Haha, I love the encyclopedic literary style with short stories to create two different layers of madness. However, I still miss TPF novel style, as it gives me another layer of madness for the AH. Regardless, I hope that I could get more novel-like update, as I would love to read something that has the detail description of the whole world plus the Orwellian atmosphere from 1984.
Hopefully we could get some snapshots into what Supercatholicism means for the average man on the street of Vienna or Rome.
Oh! I don't have any problem with the novel itself. It was more that the plot development felt abrupt.Thank you!
As long as there is imagination in the mind of Napo53, it will never die.
Exactly the kind of suspicion I sought to create in the reader. The beauty of WMIT is that it's paranormal aspects are only as real as the reader thinks they are.
They are canon as in their story of what has happened so far is still what is going to happen here, allbeit likely in a more encyclopedic fashion.
I still want to write the novel and eventually still will write TPF, but first I will map out the rest of the timeline, that way major historical events aren't carried solely through dialogue.
Also, the YouTube "Talkiebox" videos are still canon and will be threadmarked appropriately.
This is madness, knowing this world, Sunday was the "lesser" (I use this term very lightly) of two or three eviis. Lovecraft and Graham will probably take the AFC to places we can only imagine in our worst nightmares since they seem to genuinely believe in all the insanity they spout whereas Sunday just used the position for his own hedonism not to spread the apocalypse or something.
You probably have a point, but I'm gonna say this. Lovecraft will have to literally start planning to incite the apocalypse on behalf of the Angel of Destiny and take concrete steps towards that goal before I consider him worse than Sunday. I swear, I smiled in time with Steele when I read that that child molester finally croaked
Not necessarily. Lovecraft talks about the Last Days, but I think he has a positive view on them. He talks about the deaths of billions of people but Infees aren't people, which shows the "bad" future is just the one where Steele doesn't kill his "son". The "good" version of the Last Days is the one where the Second Prophet enters the scene and gets America ready for the final culmination of world conquest, at which point "the world ends" because the story of humanity is over. There's nothing left to do anymore, and all the time between that and the Final Judgement might as well be an instant. And of course no one's actually going to fail that final test since all the people who might have are dead.
Lovecraft doesn't need to start the apocalypse. The RU is itself already the Apocalypse. Its destiny is to end history, and these Last Days will either be its final failure or its final success in that.

The introductory chapter has just been heavily revised and touched up, everyone! Check it out when you can! It reveals a few additional things about Steele's psyche in particular.
I actually laughed out loud at these, lmao.

AHE
Gone Fishin'
Oh my god that’s so based, wtf is thatCame across this online and instantly thought of TTL.
Talking about Christian movies, i am the only one who is wondering how truly insane and weird this TL's version of "God is not dead" must be? I mean the movie is already strange here in OTL, so i can barely immagine how its WMIT counterpart can be even weirder and more awful
