Cosmic Horror… but cosy?
In this video I'm drawing two cosy, autumn-themed eldritch gods for my own pantheon, and sharing my thoughts on the cosmic horror genre.

Love these! And love when your narrate too:) hearing your thought process is so fun
I didn't know I needed cosy cosmic horror until now! I'm a soft hearted horror fan, so I'm not a fan of bleak outcomes, but I like freaky cosmic horror so I'm in a tricky position.
Lovecraft was a man with an extremely limited perspective, leaving this subgenre with so much growing to do! Smarter people than me have pointed out that Clive Barker's Hellraiser/Hellbound Heart is a story of eldrich entities whose unknowable agenda seems to include, well, being really randy and achieving pleasure through pain. "An angel to some, demon to to others." Which really quite inverts what Lovecraft made. Theres a lot of room for new ideas in cosmic horror. Im glad people such as OP are throwing their creativity into it.
Awwww🥰🥰 What a great vibe! People are so quick to jump to meaninglessness and doom in the face of what is, taking for granted the fact that what is includes hot chocolate....
Soup hag? Have you collabed with Courtney Miller on that yet?
I am writing a story about goblin pirates on the high seas and I think the soup hag would fit very nicely - would you mind if I featured them in it?
Hygge-niggurath
Not to be weird, but I had a similar idea long ago in some school writing project of your Cabin Keeper, ‘Guardian of secluded dwellings.’ I had just watched the original night of the living dead & the original Evil Dead movies with an uncle of mine. My intent was to invent a better reason why the Evil dead & the like horror crews would find it fun to go so deep into the woods & be in a secluded cabin anyways. A creature who always existed to help the expansion of life beyond the ‘normal’ boundaries & maintain it, to attempt to bring the moral quandary of if it’s leading humans to the depths to feed the dark things already making their home in the deep woods, or to challenge those creatures, or perhaps it’s a force of nature just living in the boundaries of what is known that happens to lure other life out there. My creative writing assignment was a 2 paragraph short story I had expanded to 5/6, because I was a creative writing kid & a try hard like a lot of my classmates, where we had to use the words ‘allure’ and something else like ‘bog’ but I can’t remember exactly what it was. I’m of course extrapolating in hindsight 20 years later after a quick 20 mins of ramshackling through my most accessible school box & not finding my final draft of course. But I just wanted to share that here & thank you for making your Gezelligeon! That was a good trip for me, and I would definitely revere such a pantheon odd entities.
OK, I need all of these in my life all the time. Stickers? Tshirts? How can I get them? I think there should be a Gezelligeon oracle deck...
Thank you for this.
You should turn these into stickers I’d totally buy them!! 😊
I love this!
This makes me so happy
these cryptid critters remind me of a series I saw of Muppets drawn as Bloodborne characters! None of them had a name as perfect as 'the Scuttling Hug', however
Please More of these Can confirm worship
Scuttling Hag? Nah that's a Snuggling Hag.
Love this!!
I worship at the altar of the crawling hug. May your cover be ever soft. May your mug be ever toasty. Let your arms consume the world in their cozy embrace.
I love this!! I hope to see more members added to the Gezelligeon!
What? No entity that offers you a cup of tea and a comfy chair?
I want a video game or cartoon series that features these
This would make for a wonderful picture book once you have a full pantheon!
These are absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing them!
Wouldn't call those comsic >horror<, but they are really cool and creative designs.
I can't tell you how much i appreciate your work along these particular lines of thinking. The world needs more of this idea. The unknown doesn't have to be bad. And even when it's good, that can be scary too because....can we really trust it? It's an idea space far too little explored.
First of all, I completely agree that there's something cozy about cosmic horror. Second of all, as a Dutchman, I absolutely agree Gezelligeon is a true manifestation of something *gezellig.* Subscribed
Now i want to make Cozy Cosmic Horror gods. Bzgomok The Still Churn - A worm like creature, teeming with small feelers and jointed tendrils and trills when near someone with a tummy ache, soothing their belly bubbles and bringing calm. Considering this creature and its the size of a house cat, its trills mimic that of a cats purr and it finds laps rather comfortable to rest on. Daraagl The Moving Abode - A massive creature that looks as if it were a hill, walking on giant clawed feet. This creature is the patron of the unsheltered and cold, providing comforting dwellings within itself when settled down and at rest. That's all i got so far.
How about like a minor deity of star gazing. A being of many eyes filled with the beauty of a clear night sky and the many constellations that paint it.
I need a soup hag for myself Shes lovely
I absolutely adore this whole pantheon you’ve come to develop, it’s amazing.
I subscribed as soon as I saw the cabin keeper and heard your lore. It's so creepy and cozy; I love it!
7:00 min in... That is obviously a snuggle bug! The BEST sort of bug! also loving this outlook.
What a lovely project, I definitely feel drawn to the cozy cosmic sister of rugs and hugs. This would make a wicked awesome tarot deck btw thank you for putting this out there
I love them all. 🥹
They are all amazing! I would worship all of them!
could we please start a religion with this!
i feel like these creatures would be especially pleased by people who go out of their way to help out those who truly need it during fall and winter, be it as big as helping the homeless find warm shelters to weather the cold or as small as opening up your heart to someone lonely and isolated who could use someone to cuddle up with when the weather gets bad.
Cosmic horror is already such a cozy comfy genre to me, i love this so muchhhhhh
Just stumbled across your channel. Always found an indescribable comfort in the odd and conventionally unsettling. I love them all so much
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I'm always looking for new strange and unique creatures beyond our comprehension, but the stories they're in are always such a downer. Would you be okay with us drawing fanart of them? How about writing some fanfics/creepypastas?
Can you please point these guys over in my direction? I'm so miserably tired of the only major deities where I live wanting to rip off my arms.
I absolutely love the designs and the concept, but to me they do not strike me as gods, but just as lovecraftian creatures, alien entitites perhaps existing outside what our feeble minds consider possible, but not universe shifting gods, but rather something akin to a demons or a baba Yaga in regards to how important they are as individuals (to the extend that they can be called that) for their world. A single human does not seem beneath their notice to me.
Great inspo !
Congratulations! You just got into creating Your own classic IRL mythology.
Omg I love this idea. I've had the thought of Eldrich gods that were helpful rather than dreadful. I kinda get the vibe of kindness from the eldrich illustrations from the band Sleep Token, but maybe I'm weird.
wtf dutch has a term for "hygge" an untranslatable danish word with the same meaning. Actually that hot drink enjoying blanket being could be called "The Hygge"
Love this
It seems like a lot of folkloric beings like the fae except on a cosmic scale. In folklore, a lot of them are scary and harmful, but some are helpful, and many are in the middle.
This reminds me in concept to a lot of some cozy SCP's.
I think the coziest thing about these creations are how, in opposite to Lovecraft's gods, they are intuitively knowable. Each one is absolutely relatable from the desire to play with leaf litter to almost an embodiment of finding comfort.
