    Your theory videos always feel creepy, I love it

    I love your narration! So creepy! You give ASOIAF a much more malevolent feel overall, like there's something really dark hidden within the things GRRM hasn't blatantly said... What a dark mind he must have.

  • @kossttamojaan
    @kossttamojaan 6 років тому +10

    never thought of reading these books but now, because of your videos showing how the Lovecraft mythos is so subtly yet pervasively infused with ASOIAF, I may have to rethink my decision.
    Truly appreciate the time and effort you take with your channel Thank you

    Damn I wrote this exact same theory about Shub-niggurath in one of your previous videos about the H.P. Lovecraft connections.
    So I agree with this analysis, that there are obvious hints that something greater & darker lurks beyond the petty human fighting for thrones.
    Now to change the topic completely: Do you have anything to say about the Stephen King based tv-series "The Mist"?.
    I mean now we had this whole "It" series of videos. Good work by the way.
    Personally I watched the old tv movie. Which is fun, but this new take on is to be released in a coupple of days I think & it is written by Chriatian Torpe.
    He is known here in Denmark yet you have probably never heard of him. Still I would be interested to hear your review of that show. Since like me you are a King fan...who was a Lovecraft fan, just like Martin

    Your voice and story telling method sure just fits perfectly to any dark stories, fantasy or sci fi. Guess you could be a voice reader for any dark stories, creates a good deep atmosphere of mystery and of the unknown, perfect to invoke any connections to Cthulhu mythos.

    I think that it's possible the people of Qohor worship an entity similar to the Lovecraft monster, but this story takes place with Renaissance technology. The only conventional way to communicate between distance is to have people go from on area to the next, weather they write about their tales or deliver mail. Numerous Westerosi have gone to Qohor and returned, but it's a long ways away and steeped in mystery. People see things without fully understanding them and try to explain them in the best way they know. Imagine the tales Qohoric people say of Westerosi.
    I believe it still has it's dark secrets, some are worse than we suspect, but overall it's not as mysterious as it's made out to be.

    • @MattJDave
      @MattJDave 7 років тому +3

      Actually, no. Glass Candles were used to communicate long distances by the Valyrians, and are implied to be reading dreams currently with Marwyn's recently-activated glass candle.

    Since you are an artist, do you provide a lot of the drawings? I would love to know, as your renderings are simply beautiful. I'd like to know if I can get any. You deserve so many more subs. I love your videos.

  • @robp4074
    @robp4074 7 років тому +10

    4.10 sounds like lovecraft was making an analogy for our world and knowledge of the evil that governs us could drive a person mad. Or maybe he just liked scary shit

    What are the creepy pieces of music used in the videos?

  • @ndf2719
    @ndf2719 5 років тому +5

    In terms of making a comparison to real life, Qohor sounds like the Istanbul/Constantinople of the ASoIaF world; a post Roman city that acts as the gateway into the east.

    I need more of these theories. The H.P Lovecraft references are the best. Are there any you can find beyond the Grey Wastes? Other than the city of Carcosa? Or are you gonna make a separate video about that place?

    • @LithningWolf
      @LithningWolf 7 років тому +1

      Most likely no, Asshaï maybe but I don't see why we would see any other free city than Braavos, Pentos or Volantis. Maybe one of Tyrosh, Myr and Lys with Griff but not sure.

    • @johnhurley8918
      @johnhurley8918 7 років тому +1

      Aaron Garcia I don't think Quohor is mentioned by any character in the main series. I've only ever hear it talkrd about in world of ice and fire, which is kind of like an encyclopedia for asoiaf.

    • @homelesstvh7737

      Qohor is brought up when Daenerys is first travelling with Drogo's Khalasar, and Vargo Hoat is supposedly from there.

    U always do such a great job!!! OK, tin foil hat time... It's weird to me that Qyburn had Grand Maester Pycelle killed in the same way the priests of Quohor did it!! I bought a Lovecraft book. It's a mixture of stories but I'm a few pages in. I also bought A SONG FOR LYA by GRRM. I HIGHLY recommend it!!The Greeshka is the end for the Shkeen and there r some human telepaths there now. Giving too much away!!💟✌

    I love that voice! I also saw a kids movie that was about a child named Lovecraft and he had a pet named Spot. Later the pet was named Cathullu! I wish U were writing Winds of Winter! U would be done a couple of years ago. Write back, Tito! 1 last thing, I know U would not kill Viserion. Bran was marked and he went South 2 Winterfell and the Night King could have broken that piece of Wall down all by himself. This season was rushed and disappointing! I will always be a Targaryen fan.

    The Christian Bible is full of people making animal sacrifices. And I don't mean any of the "bad guys" but the "righteous" ones, the ones with whom Christians identify.
    Of course the Bible is just full of horrible people and horrible practices that bible thumpers shout should be the basis of how we live these days.
    I like to imagine the Qohor black goat as something like Black Phillip, everyone's favourite hoofy star of The Witch. Though he's reported to have given everyone on set a tough time because he, well, behaved like a goat, instead of an extra.
    I'm thoroughly on Black Phillip's side. Goats are very curious, out going, and playful, but they need routine and their friends. If they have no routine, or it's broken, and they're taken from their friends, or denied anyone with whom to bond, they become extremely upset and stressed.
    So Black Phillip was behaving like an anxious goat. Poor hoofy fellow.
    The real meaning of the film: Keep your goats cheerful.
    I think Qohorian priests are, as most self proclaimed religious people, revealing more about themselves by their practices.
    A religion with a goaty god sounds jolly appealing. Emphasis on friends, playfulness, regular meals, curiosity, standing on top of cars, and cute ears.
