These infinite-dimensional universes in and of themselves are merely atoms in a greater cosmos, which makes up one higher level in a fractal of realities, all objects corresponding to that dimensionality are merely infinitesimal cross-sections of objects in the next dimension up, and this chain goes upwards to "archetypal infinity." P. S. the intuition here is that in higher dimensions, volumes of spikes thin out much quicker as we decrease their radius. Think about triangles versus cones. If you hold the height of a triangle constant and make its base smaller and smaller, the area changes linearly. But if you hold the height of a cone constant and make the radius of the base smaller and smaller, the volume (which depends on the area of the base) depends on the radius like r^2. So as we make r small, the volume of the cone goes to zero way faster than the area of the triangle did.

Ive always been surprised why there is such a distinction among some when it comes to spliting the cthulhu part of the mythos from the dreamlands parts, like they are different things. Even tho characters, locations and deities are mentioned in both AND dreams are a huge part of pretty much all of lovecrafts writting its basically his magic system. Very strange.

Because they're basically written in different genres. Most of Lovecraft's Cthulhu stories are very dark scifi, while the Dreamlands cycle is mostly whimsical fantasy, with only few dark elements present. I think people make the distinction because that more fantasy-like quality of the Dreamlands tends to remove some of the horror of it all, and they prefer their Cthulhu-stories grounded in reality and the ephemeral stuff only be dark and threatening. I don't think it works quite like that, though.

Finally, someone with a platform telling everyone that the "It's all just Azathoth's dream" is not cannon Lovecraft. I don't have a problem with the theory, but too many people think that once they hear the theory, they think they understand the whole mythos. I personally think the dream theory is too simple and too mundane. The universe being something we can easily understand and can relate to, seems very un-Lovecraftian to me. Having Yog-Sothoth as a more powerful being being makes sense, because even when you get an explanation of what it is it is still esoteric and incomprehensible. The more all powerful a being gets the less comprehensible it should be in a Lovecraftian mythos.

The dream thing is still weak. To believe that and still say that Azathoth is greater than Yog is foolish. By Yogs' description, he seems like he is Azathoths' subconscious mind. In a way, that would make him more or less greater than azathoth (kinda). In any case, Azathoth would obviously wake up *to something else* so he isn't the all encompassing existence. Neither is Yog but his description clearly puts him on top in such a scenario.

Lovecraft was so vague that it really isn't certain how powerful his version of Azathoth was, which was his goal as he focused on the fear of the unknown. I'll break it down. We know that Azathoth was powerful enough to demand Nyarlathotep's servitude (though begrudgingly) and for several other gods to devote their entire existence towards keeping him at bay, that's about it. If he IS weaker than Yog-Sothoth, it's clear he surpasses all of Lovecraft's other published creations in terms of power (who would serve him if he didn't). My take? There isn't much given as to what Azathoth's actual power is, and that's exactly what Lovecraft wanted to do with him. Like Pandora's Box, he is capable of bringing untold havoc, but nobody can know what that havoc is until it's too late... Nobody except Yog-Sothoth, that is.

You've expanded my understanding in a number of ways and I appreciate it. I have subscribed to your channel. I've read all of Lovecraft's fiction but never his letters. I think I considered Azathoth dreams to be our reality, our world, all that we can see and experience with our limited senses, what we would call our universe. But it is such a small part of the real everything that our sudden absence would hardly be noticed. Isn't that the point? Aren't we no more than motes of dust? And when dust gets in your eye, you rub it out.

Yog Sothoth is also a primordial intelligence, being one of the few intelligent elder gods along with Nyarlahotep, but being infinitely more wise, being connected with time itself. This isn't to say Azathoth is far below him, they are really opposites, Yog is all knowing and all being, while Azathoth is, well, the blind idiot god and all consuming. There is some dualism with the two. While I personally do believe Yog to be greater, they're still two opposing cosmic forces that shape everything there.

@@WebCamParrot Imagine my disappointment after checking not only the Simon Necronomicon or Donald Tyson's Necronomicon, but also the Al-Azif Cipher manuscript and the R'lyeh text and even (ugh) Warlock Asylum's "Atlantean" Necronomicon.

the quote is from 2003, but the name is not. Azathoth is referred to repeatedly as " Lord of All" or "Lord of All Things" if YogSothoth IS All Things/Everything then why would I not rank a Lord over the object it is Lording over cit. The Haunter of the Dark cit. Fuggi from Yuggoth

Yo, Respect for using Dance of the Cryptech!

I love seeing Smite art finding its way to these types of videos

I don't understand why people keep commenting and replying that Azathot dreams everything.... Have you guys not watched the video, it's false

Parrot you absolutely outdid yourself and this video is one of the absolute peaks of your channel Ik you don't like questions but this is one I've had for awhile, is yog-sothoth what you'd call the strongest in fiction I adore you and your channel and would love to talk to you more eventually Imo yog is above but azathoth is the second strongest (not counting avatars or archetypes) and while I myself don't mind azathoth being above because well there is evidence but its more slim imo

Like, in all of fiction? There are plenty of more powerful characters in fiction due to Yog still being treated as a character in a multiverse. Any author level power would outrank it due to being a creature that theoretically can affect the non-fictional world. For instance, even Deadpool can just rewrite himself to be more powerful than Yog and even make killing him have no adverse effects on the reality that Yog IS. Going away from the more meta levels that comics do, there are plenty of characters that defeat manifestations of reality or omnipotence, especially in anime or other east asian inspired mediums. The protagonists from persona 5 kill capital G God, and Saitama from One Punch Man effectivly has the super power of being unbeatable. For that matter, any character with Toon Force or other comedic abilities like Bugs Bunny or Bobobo would also be able to beat him. I guess in short, since he is still just a fictional character, there are plenty of other fictional characters that have the ability to defeat all other fictional characters, so long as the writer desires. Which is honestly less of a cop out than it sounds

@@blockhead134 Saitama never had the power to be unbeatable though. He is a gag character, but his gag is vastly misunderstood by people because they never take the time to check if their own interpretation is correct. The gag isn't that he is able to one-punch anyone, it's that he is a "end of series" protagonist put at the very beginning of his own story, as said by the author himself. Of course this creates the side effect of him not having anything else to accomplish anymore and being able to one-shot anyone in *his verse* for now, but that's just like if you put Hokage Naruto up against Zabuza, or Ultra Instinct Goku against the Red Ribbon Army. Both of these characters would easily solo the verse up until they respectively arrive against Kaguya and Jiren, but it doesn't mean they can't lose or can one-shot anyone. That's just a side effect and not the gag in and off itself. And at the end of the story he'll finally find a worthy opponent anyway. Saitama would easily be beaten by a bunch of people from other Shonens since he doesn't have any feat higher than Small Planetary. And even then, even if he were to be able to beat anyone in one punch, it doesn't mean he can't be defeated. You're two levels deep in the misinterpretations of Saitama's abilities. If Saitama can't land an attack on his opponent he can't win. A bunch of characters have durability negation. He can even be sealed, or erased, or teleported away. Saitama is nothing special.

Meta Fiction is still 100 % fictional and could actually be a antifeat Because Verses with Metafiction is Fiction within Fiction While Verses without are not a Story within the story making any being from a Verse without Metafiction infinitly more powerful than any with

wake up honey, there's a new webcamparrot video

Just a reminder, that the Multiverse exists in the Cthulhu Mythos. It irritates that I forgot which story that I read it from but my point is, there's a lot of potential of many more powerful beings in the Cthulhu Mythos. You may take this with a grain of salt and I also did myself since I forgot which story it was from.

Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth both exist beyond the reaches of dimensioned space, which the multiverse is very much tied to.

Yay Lovecraft content!!

Interestingly it goes with my vision of the Old One's cult after multiple earing of lovecraft's entire audiobook compilation... Great work aud argumented anylisis! Thumbs up!!! ^^ ... Ia, Ia, Yog Sothoth!! Ia, Sub Nigurath! Ia, Ia, Asthur... Ia, Ia, Yog Sothoth Glanl Na Faghn...

Thanks for clearing up this misconception, now I have a better grasp of the situation.

I thought the whole point of Azatoth is that it is... well.. blind, mindless and without sound or reason. Just a maddening and mindless chaos, so confusing and perplexing that even gods go mad and join in the dance. Of course it isn't 'powerful' or the like... it literally doesn't do anything but sit there and be confusing. The other old ones have ambitions and plans and agents and want stuff. That makes them dangerous. Azatoth just IS. Kinda comparing apples to pears.

That title got me shook ngl

Ah yes. Interesting conviction, WebCamParrot.

Well... I feel very lied to now. Interesting video, I appreciate the information.

Azathoth reminds me of old greek beast Hecatonchires, which was the only thing Kronos feared and was the ACTUAL thing that defeated Kronos in the War of Gods and Titans. It was a beast living underground that had thousands hands, mouths and eyes and was most likely a metaphore to plebian power over the ruler.

While i would agree that Yog is greater then Azathoth i would add that Azathoth is described as more destructive kinda like a cancer festering in the complete beign of Yog-Sogoth it gives them a nice duality imho. Yog cant get rid of Azathoth because he as everything is part of him. And Azathoth could not consume Yog because then he would consume all of space time and beyond and therefore himself

This is a great video. You really convinced me that Yog Sothoth is a better candidate for the Cthulhu Mythos supreme deity. I have to admit I was reluctant and fairly married to the Azathoth dreaming the universe theory. Do you know the source of the "Azathoth dreaming reality and being kept sleeping with music" theory? I feel like everything that I was certain of is wrong, lol. Seriously though great video. I would like to track down the source of the popular debunked theory.

What's the music in the background? Seems like a remix of something familiar but can't put my finger on it.

Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus OST - Dance of the Cryptek. Check out that entire OST. It slaps. As soon as I recognised the song, I had to pause the video, then find and play the song out. Lastly, for a review of the game: Mandalore Gaming - Mechanicus.

Damn this whole time I thought Azathoth was the big daddy of Yog Sogoth and Shub Niggurath; and sleeping blind idiot god (whose apparently an entirely different entitiy). I really need to catch up on the lore of HP Lovecraft again. Very informative video.

Blake nearly traveled to Azathoth's court, yet when he arrived to the First Gate he says it surpasses everything he's ever witnessed before.

Nice Barnes & Nobles edition of Lovecraft writings. I bought that as well and it's worth every cent spent on it.

Part of me thinks that Azathoth acts as a sort of cosmic "engine" for Yog's universe/multiverse, Aza has no thoughts of his own and what he creates is managed by Yog and Nyarlathotep

@ChurchofCthulhu

2 жыл бұрын

exactly. Azathoth is akin to the Greek myth of Chaos.

I don't blame anyone for assuming Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth are, in some way, connected. Their names very clearly have some etymological connection. However, such a postulation is largely unsupported.

Fascinating! I'm especially happy to find someone who pronounces "Nyarlathotep" the same way I always have. (Not "Kadath," though.) Try watching this with closed craptioning on. It's a hoot. "Azathoth" keeps coming out as "azerthof" and similar things. (It got "Nyarlathotep" right! That must prove ours is the correct pronunciation.) Didn't get "Dunsany" right even once.

I'm currently writing a re imagining of the lovecraft universe in general. It will he authentic and all that changes are human characters and certain events. But it's gonna be big, I hope.
