Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
667 readers

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.
Rules:
- Please NO "Call of Cthulhu RPG" content (there are other great groups)
- PLEASE ONLY MYTHOS-INSPIRED CONTENTS
- Share stories, books, authors and any other works from the mythos
- Share reviews, analysis and theories on the lore
- Share videos, images and contents inspired by the lore
- Where possible share the link to the authors or the sources
- Ignore the call in your dreams as long as possible

MODERATORS
The comic is supposed to be a joke, your attempted misdirect that the joke is about cthulhu's reasoning abilities is incorrect and doesn't track.
the comic wants to make a joke about the world being so bad that even a human can be convinced that all the humans should be killed by a world killing entity.
"Optimism in the face of horrors or no hope is just unhealthy denial"
absolutely incorrect.
this statement is a symptom of your poisoned worldview that allows you and the others to unironically defend the reasoning for global genocide.
optimism in the face of horrors is not "denial", it springs from a more complete understanding of the world that you can change things.
I know that I can change things for the better because I change things for the better, whether it's difficult or not.
people who assume things can't change are the reason things don't change.
Guess you need to volunteer more.
