Kraken or Cthulu?

Ie! Ie!
That is hilarious
When we discover the polar ice caps were a containment system.
Tekeli-li is the call of the elder things.it has nothing to do with Cthulhu. Stupid AI
Cthulhu is a priest whose role is to summon the ancient ones. In this context he is the middleman.
Wasn’t it the call of the Shoggoths?
Possibly but if it was, they were repeating the calls their masters (the elder things) made before they were overthrown by the shoggoths.
Oh right. It’s been a long time since I read Mountains of Madness.
Stop posting AI slop, this doesn’t even make sense
It makes perfect sense if you’ve read At The Mountains of Madness.
Okay, I read it years ago and forgot that necessary context, so that one’s my bad. I still take issue with the AI art/media that has been creeping in here lately.
Sure but shoggoths have a lot more eyes.
They’re shapeshifters; this one just shifted into whatever the hell Cthulhu/Dagon is. 🤷🏻♂️
Just needs a disclaimer at the bottom extra dimensions not shown
It’s a direct reference to At The Mountains of Madness. The penguins make exactly that call in the book and are friendly with the Ancient Ones, and really only present in the story while the humans are in the domain of the Ancient Ones.
Although the choice of showing Cthulhu in the final panel rather than one of the Ancient Ones is inaccurate. Perhaps it’s meant to be a sculpture, since in Call of Cthulhu it was made clear that Cthulhu was specifically the shaman of the ancient ones, meant to wake them when the time is right
Anyways I’d highly recommend reading the stories since they’re quite a unique style and dripping with a mounting, growing intensity. You can even listen on LibriVox. Call of Cthulhu is about an hour long and At The Mountains of Madness is about 4.5 hours long, so one decent car trip’s worth of audiobook basically
I think probably it’s easier to ask it to draw Cthulhu than the weird flying starfish tentacle monsters
Man I used to think Lovecraftian lore was so cool until I found out that it’s all an allegory advocating for white supremacy.
Wish I never knew tbh
This thread has 798 upvotes at the moment so I guess you’ll just have to get used to it
Hell yeah.
Awaken the shoggoth
Old man Vanderhaus down by the docks, he says he has it on good authority that this has happened already. He says this is how we all got here in the first place.
At first I thought to myself, I said self, what if the deep ones are in cahoots with the government. With the more I look and the more they do, I thinks to myself that they’s just caught a glimpse of the madness. This was just the opportunity they’s needed ta get an edge on every man, woman, and child. They being the great old-ones of course.
Some say d’eys an erie glow down in the national harbor. You can only see it from the plains coming in over the Potomac. There’s an old quarry used to be there, She goes down deep. Got swallowed by the river back when the Indians were still running the roost. Some say it’s not a quarry at all and that it leads into the innerds of that world itself.
Fuck, this is good!
