Cthulhu Mythos/WMG: Difference between revisions

Because his name starts with "[[Verbal Tic|Nya]]".

* Wait a minute, is that a Japanese word up there? No wonder...

== ''Homo sapiens sapiens'' is the result of Old Ones (or one of their servant races) [[Alien Impregnation|impregnating]] hominids in the distant past ==

This explains why [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]. Those who physically appeared more like [[Eldritch Abomination|EldritchAbominations]] than non-threatening hairless apes were likely put to death at birth.

== The Cthulhu Mythos is not a single universe, but an entire multiverse. ==

== Ephraim Waite transgendered himself. ==

* He didn't have options available. He needed someone of high intelligence and weak will, and his daughter was the only one available.

* ''Cthulhu does not sleep. He waits.''

'''''Ia! Ia! Chucthulhu fhtagn!'''''

* [[Sarcasm Mode|''yes''. It makes perfect sense]]

* Meaning... [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Bruce Lee was even more badass than we thought.]]

** That we know of.

The Elder Things have the ability to come back to life, much like Herbert West tried to do for humans. It may be the West somehow got ahold of specimens of them & attempted to adapt their vital fluids for human use, or perhaps the Elder Things' ability to revive is artificial, created using a perfected version of the Re-Agent, based on the same scientific principles which West simply discovered independantly.

* Plus he wasn't ''that'' socially inept. He had a lot of friends and, finances permitting, went to visit them all the time. One of the reasons he stayed in New York as long as he did was because he had friends there.

The Narrator is basically West's all-purpose [[The Igor|Igor]], and after medical school, seems to be the only person who "gets" what West is trying to do at all. As West Transgresses more and more, he becomes more and more erratic, eventually more or less self-destructing at the hands of the reanimated marvels he abandoned. The narrator seems like an unusually faithful sidekick for one working with a crazy man, as well as a little too understanding. He can see why and how West does what he does, if not achieve the same results himself. West could certainly get another, better assistant, but is bound to this one particular person.

== All other Cosmic Horrors exist because of humanity. ==

[[Humans Are Cthulhu|Humanity itself is the top dog Cosmic Horror]]. The only reason the others seem so powerful is because we locked our powers away and made ourselves forget. All the other ones want us back, so they are using cultists as a means to an end.

== Lavinia Whateley was a victim of tentacle rape. ==

== H.P. Lovecraft was the son of a [[Cosmic Horror]] ==

== Nyarlathotep is the real mind behind the [[My Immortal]] fan fiction as an attempt to drive the entire internet insane. ==

Okay, this might be more of a Poison Oak Epileptic Tree, but Lovecraft is actually just acting some of his nihilism so that he can make and write his stories better and more memorable. You know, fully understanding and comprehending a fictional universe by acting them as though they are real experiences. He was just living his life as though it was a work of art. Well, if he was truly that of a nihilist, then the probability of him [[Heroic BSOD|collapsing]] [[Go Mad From the Revelation|from the revelation]] increases. After all, a meaningless story is fun but easily disposable, but a philosophic story that questions our existence is more memorable and interesting. Remember how the anime ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' became famous due to its philosophic mindscrewyness?

** I cant tell if this was a joke or not because if youve read his letters its clear he never was a Nihilistic [[Niezsche Wannabe]] its also clearly he wasnt a nihilist he had philosophical beliefs he held to firmly, the only remarks he ever really made that implied he was one was when he was suffering severe depression after the death of his mother.

He was killed by a Shoggoth and replaced. His apparent insanity is due to the creature not figuring out how to imitate human behavior convincingly. His repetitive babbling is the Shoggoth repeating things it heard the real Danforth say. After all, the ancient tablets told of the Shoggoths disguising themselves as Elder Things, why not people?

* Exactly where in the novel it is mentioned that the Shoggoths could disguise themselves as Elder Things? They are way, way too large for such a feat, and descriptions are only given to their imitation of their masters' voices and writing, nothing about their physical forms.

Shadowgirls, webcomics that makes big use of [[Cthulhu Mythos]], has recently finished short story revealing that Lovecraft was a member of secret society of writers, who were gathering the knowledge about all kind of supernatural like aliens, vampires, werewolves or eldritch abominations and publishing them as fiction. If they would reveal their knowledge as truth, nobody would believe them, but if they claimed to made it up, their knowledge would survive in collective human memory as tropes - we know that stake and sunlight kills a vampire and silver bullet is fatal to the werewolf, because we read about it in books. Lovecraft himself has passed informations about how to deal with at last some of creatures his characters encounters - The Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath describes how to survive encounters with many creatures inhabiting Dream World and even how to get saved from Nyerlaotheph. His stories where monstrosities cannot be stopped serves as a warning for people so then can recognize early signs of those creatures when they see them and run.

"Curse these hellish things--legions--My God!"

Here's the reasons why:

{{quote| The Elder Things/Old Ones of Antarctica created the Shoggoths as servitors- who rebelled.<br />

In regards to the Outer Gods/Great Old Ones, the cultists who worship Shub-Niggurath in Chesuncook, Maine have a whole pit of Shoggoths. ("The Thing on the Doorstep")<br />

What about the Dreamlands? Didn't Abdul Alhazred say that Shoggoths only existed in the dreams of druggies? }}

Well some one had to say it. They are probably a future form of the timelords. They have mastered time travel. I can imagine, after the events of the end of time in doctor who. The time lords,were dying out on the time locked time war, so in order to survive they found a way to trasnfer their minds, towards time and space into other lifeforms, not mention they have a lot of knowlege about alien spcies acroos the universe inclunding humanity.

Lovecraft and subsequent writers explicitly portray them as having a nauseating fish odor. Actually, it's only [http://indianapublicmedia.org/amomentofscience/why-fish-smells-more-than-meat/ DEAD fish] that smell. Which means . . . "[[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Iä! Iä! BRRAAAIIINNNS!]]"

* Considering the Deep Ones are (possibly) aliens, that fishy smell might just be their B.O.

** Nah, I think the story makes it pretty clear they're another species native to Earth. ("Seems that human folks has got a kind a' relation to sech water-beasts - that everything alive come aout o' the water onct an' only needs a little change to go back agin." "Can it be possible that this planet has actually spawned such things. . .") Lovecraft's aliens are REALLY alien.

Because they're both the runt of the litter and they live on a farm.

== Yog-Sothoth is one of the many beings which [[Doctor Who|Rassilon]] thrust out of the way in some manner or other in order to ensure the dominance of the Time Lords. ==

Locked some place cold and dark (Moon/Depths of Ocean), incredible powers, will escape ''when the stars are right'', treated as myth by the local civilization (Ponyville/Everyone who hasn't been involved in anything) but known by foreigners (Zecora/cults) and people who read far too much (Twilight/?), it's form is sort of comprehensible but aspects are well beyond what people can grasp (Mane and fact she's an Alicorn / Giant octopus-dragon-man [[Starfish Alien]]).
