Cthulhu Has Kids!
« on: October 28, 2009, 04:03:32 pm »
When doing research for [DELETED FOR SECURITY REASONS]:

Quote from: Oh So Reliable and Holy Wikipedia
According to correspondence between Lovecraft and fellow author James F. Morton, Cthulhu's parent is the deity Nug, itself the offspring of Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath. Lovecraft includes a fanciful family tree in which he himself descends from Cthulhu via Shaurash-ho, Yogash the Ghoul, K'baa the Serpent, and Ghoth the Burrower.

Since Lovecraft created the Lovecraft Mythos, he must be right. Right?

It's always sad when the ancestor outlasts the descendant.

Lovecraft didn't die. The stars just fell out of alignment.

That hurts a lot.  I thought this extended universe familial garbage was strictly the domain of hacks like August Derleth.  I can't believe the big man himself was in on it too.

Giving them parents and siblings and quarrels among themselves makes them too human.  The whole point is that they're completely and utterly alien to us.

But you're one of them.

I think ol' Muffles is just trying to weasel out of his alimony payments.

Yes, but getting along with each other and being all happy-dappy strikes me as unbefitting of the beings.

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

I am sad because I've not been able to find any books on forbidden knowledge to derail my sanity with.
Maybe I could order some books, but I'd rather buy them cheap. :p
(I'm not very careful with my reading material)
