The thing about Lovecraft's work is that he did write about some genuinely fucked up critters, but he doesn't seem to have had a clear picture of which ones those are. "Dog that inhabits right angles" and "sapient colour" are treated as exactly as mind-bending as, like, "guy who looks like a fish" and "big penguin".

The most terrifying thing about The X-Files is what a day in the life of Assistant Direct Walter Skinner must look like. He has to live in fear of both the Syndicate and Mulder and Scully. He’ll get shot or infected with remote-controlled nanobots and then he has to go back to his office and deal with case reports that are written in the style of experimental prose poetry.

“eldritch horror beyond your comprehension” and it’s just a generic monster with tentacles and eyes

[passionpeachy]

girl I’m comprehending you pretty easily you’re gonna have to try harder than that

[empressofkashyr]

in my dnd setting the most eldritch of creatures is an ape that is impossibly wide. Whatever room you're in, this ape is wider than that. Imagine the widest room you can imagine. This ape is wider. It's other proportions remain the same. His name is Wide Ape.

those flat escalator moving walkway things they have in airports effectively kill you and make a clone on the other side like the teleporter but in a gradual ship of theseus kind of way

i unironically believe electricity is the closest thing we have to magic in this universe. consider:

it's basically what human "souls" are made of (your consciousness is the result of miniscule amounts of electric charge jumping between neurons in your brain)

when handled incorrectly or encountered in the wild, it is a deadly force that can kill you in at least half a dozen different ways

when treated respectfully and channeled into the proper conduits, it is a power source that forms the backbone of modern society

if you engrave the right sigils into a rock and channel electricity into it, you can make the rock think

there is a dedicated caste of mages (electrical engineers) tasked with researching it in ivory towers

whatever the fuck Galvani was doing with those frog legs

look at this and just try to tell me it isn't a kind of summoning circle

the year is 1969. three years have passed, and K-Cell has a new mission - OPERATION KEYSTONE HUNTER:

one of two fresh agents joining K-Cell is BILLIE SILVER, a getaway driver who cut a deal to save herself from prison time after she witnessed the unspeakable, and proud owner of several pairs of Kickin' Jeans

Billie belongs to @steampunkforever who has retired Cary for now because he would, quote, "thrive in the nineties"

BONUS: Homer mustache (actual) and Kit mustache (hypothetical)
