    My take on Shubby is that she characterizes the primordial material out of which all life spawned, in which case she is literally the mother of all living creatures.
    I like to think "the woods" (this is purely my own idea) refer to the dark columns of Nebulae dust in which her squirming mass floats, and that bits of her mass routinely break off and float in all directions until they collide with some planetoid and begin the process of evolving into creatures fit to live on that planet.
    This fits with the Lovecraftian theme that it is a matter of horror that we are related to lesser life forms.
    In this sense, not just humans, but EVERY living creature throughout space and time are children of the same mother.

  • @ThisAintAStupidName
    @ThisAintAStupidName 5 ปีที่แล้ว +184

    Shub-Niggurath has always been one of my favorite Old Ones, for what she (it?) represents: the insignificance of life.
    We humans like to believe we are born for a reason, with purpose or at least love and intention. Someone wants us here, and that gives us hope.
    Shub-Niggurath turns that on it's head. She spawns randomly, discarding her young as she would her last bowel movement. She's not even aware they are born. She is the uncaring universe, you are it's child. Too insignificant to even be unwanted. You're just... generated spontaneously, and will probably be absorbed back again without Shub-Niggurath ever knowing you were there.
    She, along with Azathoth, is the essence of cosmic, nihilistic dread.

    Shub was also the final boss in the game Quake. It never attacked you. Nor could any weapon damage it. Instead you fought waves of enemies throughout the level. I wont say how to kill Shub at the end. The original lore of Quake had Shub as the ruler/matriarch of all the monsters in the game but there wasnt much more info about it.

      man i love quake, also there was this portal that teleports you to a floating spikey platform thing that moves around shub, it sometimes moves inside (clips in) shub herself and if you time going into the portal correctly as the spikey platform clips through shub you can telefrag her and basically kill her.

      @@gangweedernigga4012 this was the info i was withholding in regards to defeating Shub. The only way to beat her is to wait for the entity to clip/pass through Shub and it is at this time you teleport into her. Back when i 1st got to Shub's domain (and eventually beating all the monsters on the level) it took me ages to figure out how to destroy her. The 1st time i used the portal i teleported into the lava lol. Because i kept dying when i went through the portal i assumed it was not the answer so i tried shooting Shub. I emptied every gun into her and nothing. I even used cheats to give max ammo! When that failed i thought to just telefrag myself and restart the level to see if there was something i missed. So i ran into the portal expecting to die but this time i didnt end up in another part of the map or just drop into the lava, i got the end screen instead(??) It was then i put 2 and 2 together that the entity and portal were linked. I did laugh at seeing Quake man hack Shub to death from the inside. I had all the guns and yet the mighty Shub died from ingesting a maniac with an axe

      Pretty sure Ranger doesn't hack her to death from the inside though, but rather telefrags her (2 entities occupying the same physical space, the one teleporting in will basically explode the previous one)

    This god plays the role of a fertility goddess in the mythos. I would like to think that, similar to how Yig was morphed in legends to become Quetzalcoatl, Yig's myths became the notion of a mother earth that needs to be appeased.
    The gods in this world seem evil and chaotic, but they are beyond our notion of reality. People could be sacrificing it and drawing power from it, while the goddess herself doesn't even realize or care. The fickle Aphrodite may have just been a representation of the chaotic nature of this goddess's power, the nature worshippers in Scottland could have been drawing on her power with mixed results, etc.

He translated this fear into his works with the protagonists often being well to do, upper society gentlemen who are faced with unimaginable horrors that make all of the prestige they had mean nothing and showed them just how small they were when faced with the universe. Combine this with good old fashioned fear of the unknown and vile imagery of the black ocean depths, rot, mildew and mold and you have stories that aren't meant to make you feel

    I think Lovecraft's followers twisted out every single of his creatures and deities. Lovecraft was careful not to paint his deities as evil (except Nyarlathotep), just different, fundamentally different regarding their view on existence. They are like brainless forces of nature with no elaborated though processes, just an aim defined at birth (both of the Other Gods of the Dream Cycle, and Azathoth are often called mindless (I'm not sure whether the "Other Gods" is the Dream World name of the cosmic deities, but I though it was)).
    I always imagined Shub-Niggurath to be around Azathoth in the dark center of the cosmos (or whatever), participating it the dance Azathoth is said to do (wiggling to the sound of two cursed pipes or something).

      Indeed, likewise most of these entities were displayed either once or very few times in Lovecraft novellas with very little description or interaction, and were mostly developed by other various writers who developed a pantheon of sorts of Lovecraftian mythological entities. It was widely these latter writers' renditions that corrupted the essence of what Lovecraft was trying to convey through the aforementioned entities.
