The Brockton Look [Worm/Lovecraft]

Reader mode
Cthulhu isnt necessary for the good turned bad ending. The Deep Ones serves Dagon and Hydra, children of Cthulhu. My bet is on an intervention from Hastur's servants who are the mortal ennemy of Cthulhu's servants. But they aren't humanity's friends either...

Edit: Unless you are a purist, then unless you find goodish-Elder Things or not-assholish-Yithians, there is no hope, only darkness

Can anybody imagine a good end? I honestly can't. Perhaps Taylor is Eden and... No, still too much problems. Oh, I know! Taylor is Eden and she flies away really quickly taking humanity with her!

It's not that bad, Deep Ones infestations are not as bad as the rest of the Mythos. You just have to convince Bonesaw to create a virus to kill every fishmen DNA bearer, and have the government or the Triumvirate nukes the underwater city.

Dagon and Hydra aren't Starspawn they are from our dimension, unlike Big C and co, so Scion, an Endbringer or Eidolon could kill them.

If a bunch of savages with a few runes could destroy a centuries old infestation, a S class parahuman can easily eliminate a century old infestation

And Bonesaw would just play with her pet shoggoth.

Bonesaw totally needs a pet shoggoth. That isn't Crawler :D

ETA: I tend to feel that the evil monster cultists in Lovecraft are the supernatural equivalent of those crazy quiver-full Christians in the deep south. I'm sure Taylor is a perfectly sensible and law-abiding creature from the black lagoon :p

Dude. It's Lovecraft. The Mythos is as much an allegory for HP's rabid racism as it is for his inability to cope with non-christian cosmology.

Pretty much. Most sects of the Cult of Yog-Sothoth don't bother with human sacrifice. We just vivisect small, fluffy animals on the solstices, equinoxes, and new moons. Murder just isn't worth the hassle, especially since to most the gods there really isn't that much of a difference between rabbits and humans.

Dagon's cult is the less violent sect of the Cult of Cthulhu

Doesn't stop the fact that the Slaughterhouse 9 are our best hope.
Maybe we could convince Jack Slash that killing mind breaking abominations is funnier than killing pathetics humans.




Or... Maybe the Slaughterhouse are doing the same job as Sophia but nationaly? It could be interesting

That could work, if the Field of Obliviousness applies to other Mythos creatures and not just Fishmen. Everyone would think that the ravenous tentacle monster the Siberian just nom'd was the sweet little old lady who ran the soup kitchen. . .:drevil:
 
I posted this in the other thread when this story started, but here: The Litany of Earth.

It's the Mythos from a hybrid's point of view, and it's oddly touching.
 
Ooh, she IS pretty.

But you should probably use a link instead :D

Cthulhu cannot defend himself while sleeping, and Zion is capable of destroying multiple iterations of a planet simultaneously. Besides, Zion is killable, what makes you so sure Cthulhu can't be permakilled?

Its sorta a thing with Lovecraftian horror... you cant make things better, only worse. Killing his followers might draw Cthulhu's attention, and regardless of whether Scion (a being whos powers operate on physical laws) can defeat Cthulhu (a being who's powers think 'reality' is a adorable concept) is ultimately a moot point, because killing the grandson of Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath cannot possibly end well for anything in our galactic cluster.

In fact... I think the end of reality can be brought about by Yog-Sothoth. Maybe what the space whales are doing now is trying to find a power that doesn't prevent the heat death of the universe, but rather can prevent Yog-Sothoth from ending the universe. In which case Zion might pointedly be ignoring these guys, if for no other reason than Eden said so.

The problem with that is that the solution is simple: kill all intelligent life. It varies abit depending on what your reading, but the basic idea is that Yoggy is co-existent with all of time and space... essentially, hes everywhere, everywhen, all the time, always has been, and always will be. The thing is that, while that is true, hes also locked outside time and space, its a fairly classic 'all knowing but forbidden from interfering' sorta thing. The difference is that he could come into the universe.... all it takes is for some idiot to open the Gate and let him in.

This is something Yoggy is often given to desire intensely. That it would cause human extinction is not something that really crosses his radar... we are all so very small.

So if that was the Entities goal, they would prioritize the extermination of life, especially intelligent life.

It could be their looking for a power that keeps people from reaching the Gate. Or perhaps something that could shove it back if anyone did open the Gate. Not exactly putting up much effort into thinking about the end result, just saying they care about the universe not dying and Yoggy can do that easily.

Just destroying all life, given that any life has the potential to become intelligent, is a nearly impossible task given their modus operandi. That is traveling through deep space to reach life bearing worlds and just throwing shards at them. If that is what they are still doing, and given Shadow Stalker still going ghost it seems that it is, means that they haven't changed their approach. So either they have a new goal using the same method, or they are so ignorant that one wonders how such titanic beings could miss this going on in their universe across several dimensions.
 
Old Man Henderson V.S. Eldritch Abomination!Skitter: no matter who wins, we're all be too covered in tentacle-bees to care.
 
What position does Leviathan hold in the Fish-People's Old-One Pantheon?
I'm really hoping Scion and Eden showed up on Earth and it just happened to already have been claimed by entities bigger than they are; putting them in over their heads.

Hey here's a fun question: what happens when an Eldritch Abomination fails a San check from looking at a different kind of new and alien Eldritch Abomination?

It stops working, and becomes sane. Actually, in all seriousness, what if Eden crashed because she was trying to process Nyarlathotep?Nyarly's M.O fits what happened to Eden pretty well, and Abaddon was called 'The Dark One'.
 
I love this so much, shadow over Innsmouth is one of my favourite stories. Are you gonna use more of the standard lovecraft tropes and his favourite words (words like amorphous, decadent, gibbous, indescribable and stygian) too ?
