The Pantheon episodes
- It's Cold Inside: The Burning One, Pt. 1
It's cold inside. But why is it cold? How can we escape it? Is the most important part of making up for a crime recognizing that you committed the crime in the first place?
This is the first part of a larger story that I'm going to be putting up here in succession. It's fairly simple, I think, but the message of the story will be difficult to parse out until the end. Up until that point, it's just a nice little cosmic horror ditty.
The Pantheon is written and produced by Joshua White.

My first attempt at poetry in a loooonnng time. I don't remember the genesis of it, save that the idea it gave me of depicting various monsters in literary form was the genesis of The Pantheon itself. It's got a bit of morality thrown into it too. Far too often we see other people in the world as evil when their choices in life were quite limited. Is an evil committed strictly for the purpose of survival really evil? Not really. Of course, with humans, there's a lot of nuance in our actions, but with a beast or a natural force? A hurricane and a swarm of mosquitoes are equally evil, in that, well, they aren't.
To be honest, this is me trying to make up for missing my usual deadline time. Apologies.

Just another random horror story. It probably won't tie into anything, but I quite like it. There's no specific moral, either. Just have fun. We forget that we need that every once in a while in this new gilded age.

The Prophet is visited in the middle of the night, long ago.
This visitor is quite odd, quite harsh, and in fact has already graced us in the first episode of the podcast. The visitor comes to people at their lowest, seeking to grant them something that might be appealing under those conditions: bloodlust. But this bloodlust it gives never ends, even when there is not another drop of blood left to be shed. How do you turn away this beast at your lowest point? What things can give you hope? There are many things. Here is one.
There's a lot of contemporary talk among the young of the "blackpill," the embrace of absolute, bloody nihilism in the face of the colossal problems of the present. This viewpoint, is, of course, spread by the first great antagonist foundational ideology. Victims of it are hopeless. Most will simply wallow in hopelessness and apathy, but a few will turn to bloodshed. As time passes and The One Who Isn't is left unopposed, the number of these people will grow larger and larger, until they perhaps take over the bulk of society. Best to avoid that.

A love-letter to those who would identify themselves as consumers.
We are many things, and hunger is one of them, but should not be the primary thing we identify with. Unfortunately, contemporary culture is obsessed with the idea of consumption; those who create and consume more are seen as inherently better than those who create and consume less. When you try and view this ideology from the outside it's quite odd, for even though luxuries and the like are good for our lives and experiences, binding our entire lives to them, to their creation, consumption, and propagation is making us less and less happy. If the idea of eternal creation/consumption is allowed to continue to rule over us, we will all die, in a very horrific fashion. We notice it. We understand it, but do nothing about it, because we are obsessed with smaller issues, smaller gods. Of course, I'll elaborate more on this later.

What horror must a man have committed to deserve such a fate? Search in your own soul. Are you so much more virtuous that a plea for help from your fellow man can go unanswered?
A Reasonable Request is more of a typical horror story, something I've loved to craft and play out in front of friends over the years. It's less morally loaded, but it still asks the important question about the value of another person's life. Are those we consider slightly evil worthy of death? I'm not agnostic on this issue, and neither should you be.
Thank you for listening, and thank you for continuing with me into the future.
Sincerely,
Joshua White, your fellow human in a chaotic and barbaric world.

What is the West? People have lots of ideas about it right now, but they're probably on the wrong track.
The West is a standalone tale, independent of The Pantheon. I'll probably be dropping a lot of these sorts of things over here from time to time. I've done this one first because I particularly liked it, but, of course, there's a lot of moral overtones to it too. As we live in a very causal universe, any action of own will have repercussions. Obvious stuff, but we tend to give ourselves a pass on the repercussions of our own actions while eviscerating those of others.
Season 2 will be used as an indication that this is a miscellaneous story.

The One Who Isn't is not a god, although you've got quite a lot of people around today thinking that it is. Perhaps we will not be able to leave this god behind in the future, but we can diminish its grip on our minds.
In case the metaphor is lost on people, all the "gods" I will depict are reflective of our own true personal gods: ideologies. Let's be honest. We all have gods. Even if we don't dress up and sing chants for them, they still dominate us, shackle us, make us give up our lives for nothing. I will try in this series to destroy as many of those shackles as possible, so that we might be truly free.
The One Who Isn't is representative of the death drive that drives much of modern politics, particularly among the disaffected. They'll be making lots of appearances.
And... that's about all I'm willing to say right now. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy as the dulcet tones of apparent insanity wash over your ears. Do your laundry. Clean your room. Work out. Be a human, and I will be the author.
Much more to come.

About The Pantheon
From the publisher's feed
Where gods go to die. The Pantheon is a collection of my own writings, transcribed into audio format. These are meant primarily to entertain, of course, but also to help the people of today carve some…
light out of the dark time we call the present. Episodes will likely have many interlinking aspects, but most should be able to be viewed standalone without too much confusion. Series, such as "The Pantheon" proper will be marked at the start of their title. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Acclaims for The Pantheon: "A bright shriek piercing the staggering chorus of muffled madness." - Brian, some fictional man, not talking about my work. But he worked for the Washington Post, probably.
