This is what eldritch is. To me. (At least to the best of my ms paint ability)

Girls just want to be weird & worshipped

If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can’t humans be summoned by ants? The answer is they should be.

[20thcenturyvole]

Well if a bunch of ants formed a circle in my house I’d certainly notice, try to figure out where they’d all come from, and possibly wreak destruction there.

That’s why knowing and correctly pronouncing the true name is so important to the ritual. Imagine how impossible it would be to not go take a look if the circle of ants started chanting your name. And they’re like, you can’t leave because we drew a line made of tiny crystals - now you have to do us a favor. And you’re like, let’s just see where this goes “yup, you got me… what’s the favor?” and usually the favor is like, “kill this one ant for us” or “give me a pile of sugar” and you’re like… okay? and you do, because why not, it isn’t hard for you and boy is this going to be a fucking story to tell, these fucking ants chanting your name and wanting a spoonful of sugar or whatever. And SOMEtimes you get asked for things you can’t really do, one of them, she’s like, “I love this ant but she won’t pay any attention to me, make me important to her” and you’re like… um? how? So you just kill every ant in the colony except the two of them, ta-da! problem solved! and the first ant is like *horrified whisper* “what have I done”

This is the best explanation for higher powers I’ve ever really heard.

Eldritch Miku omgggg

[smoothbrainstuff]

Too many people make creatures purr. Let that beast make the unknowable roar of an eldritch horror when it's excited. Let it be gross or weird

[smoothbrainstuff]

Monster who grinds their teeth together when enjoying someone company. Fish person who's gills flare open and close because they're so excited and trying to catch their breath. Slow blinking to show trust. Behavior that sounds or looks aggressive to anyone on the outside but is actually full of joy. THERES SO MUCH POTENTIAL IM GONNA DIE

[lastoneout]

Actually my favorite replacement for both 'kill myself' jokes and jokes about reacting violently to things/people that upset me is "I'm going to end up on the news" like it's versatile, it's vague, it's not going to get me in trouble with any censors or websites that take joke threats seriously, it's family friendly while still getting the point across, what's not to love???

[lastoneout]

You. You get it.
