    In reply to Introduce Your Child to Lovecraft's Horrors with Lil Cthulhu

    Cthulhu was from the other place, the dark place. It was the demon that demons feared, a god before gods were. A pulpy, tentacled grotesque, it devoured worlds and realities with a malignant hunger. Cthulhu was beyond scale and measures, willing to take any shape, inhabit any flesh vessel to feed. When it found such an opening, a tiny fissure between realities, it surged through with terrible, maddening speed.

    And then promptly fell over.

    Cthulhu was confused by this new reality. The world was blinding white, and quite cold. The creature it inhabited was barely capable of balanced locomotion, and with sad, useless wings even more rudimentary that its own once were. As Cthulhu struggled to right itself, it saw thousands of similar creatures approach. When the first one arrived, it peered at Cthulhu quizically, then dropped a fish at Cthulu's feet. And then another of the creatures waddled up, and dropped a fish as well. And then another.

    Cthulhu realized, to its horror, that these creatures felt not fear, not dread, but pity. It bellowed with an ageless rage, and thrashed about in mortified disbelief, until it fell over once again. wheezing into the cold ground, Cthulhu peered up at this world's protectors, with futility and resignation, and accepted its fate for now.

    And the fish were quite good. #lilcthulhu

    My favorite part is from the screencapture. The islanders are so happy to see their friend get devoured! He doesn't seem so keen on it though. :P #lilcthulhu

    I just noticed that when the byakhee takes Lil' Cthulhu home, the stars in the background are redshifted/blueshifted properly depending on if they're coming or going. The geek is strong in this one. #lilcthulhu

    The indoctrination process needs to start as early as possible, and as harmlessly as possible. Then one can ramp it up to pre-teen Cthulhu, and then once the kids are ready for it, teen Cthulhu and The Talk About Interdimensional Sex. #lilcthulhu

    I know there are Cthulhu plushies already, but one definitely needs to be made which is as cute as this. It also needs a mouth hole so I can feed it kittens. #lilcthulhu
