Figurative
Welcome to Figurative, your definitive archive for the darkest and most complex lore in fiction. We delve into the shadows of grimdark futures, cosmic horror, and post-apocalyptic worlds to provide in-depth analysis and explanations. From the endless war of Warhammer 40,000 and the philosophical despair of Dark Souls, to the cosmic dread of the Cthulhu Mythos and the tragic cycles of Attack on Titan, our mission is to explore the narratives that challenge our understanding of heroism, morality, and humanity itself. Here, we dissect the lore of universes like Berserk, Bloodborne, Fallout, Metro 2033, and the SCP Foundation, examining the tragic heroes, brutal conflicts, and unknowable horrors that define them. Subscribe to the Figurative for meticulously researched deep dives into the stories that haunt our imagination.
