I had heard about live craft influencing creatures that are old ones, things beyond humans understanding. Things that had been on earth long before humans. But it’s all just aliens? Was lovecraft very much influenced by the Masonic lies at the time about space and so he thought the existence of aliens was very terrifying?

Did he have any stories about things that weren’t aliens?

Well in his universe he explained these creatures and entities by them being travelers from other parts of the universe, yes. How do you want it to be? You want them to be demons from hell or what? What's the difference?

He should have explained them ina way that doesn’t contradict how they are these things that have always existed and beyond human understanding. When they are mean to be that type of creature inwas dispointed by them just being aliens that evolved on other planets. I was interested to see how he would explain these eternal incomprehensible beings.

No, fish. Literally. He was mortally afraid of fish, the sea, and especially the smell of fish.

I believe Azathoth is the one that's actually a "god", right? He dreamed the universe into existence by accident.

His gods are standins for the uncaring forces of the universe that could will us into existence by accident, and destroy us just as easily.

Not EVERYTHING is a nigger in Lovecraft stories, okay? Just a lot of things.
