If someone wrote down Griffin's real-time description of the random faces in the first clip, it would seem like an HP Lovecraft character's frantic journal diary right before they get absorbed by whatever hellish monster they're observing.

[@lovestrucktheidiot]

Features are already spreading out a bit. Now they're coming back together in the center. Now they're really coming together in the center. Nose is starting to pupate, nose is starting to evolve. Face is starting to normalize a little bit- now face is getting a little bit calmer. Uh, really chill face actually here right now. Eyes are basically disappearing at this point- eyes are almost gone, eyes are almost gone, eyes are almost gone- eyes are gone. Eyes are now gone. Chin has started to turn into something completely non-human. Eyes have now turned inverse, are now looking inward. Nose is now taking up three quarters of the face... Cheeks are disappearing, cheeks are eroding, cheeks are sloughing off down to the chin meat. Nose has become... enormous and completely bulbous, it's like a Volvo, on this person's face. Eyes have now become triangles. Like two viper fangs. On this man's face. Total head height- nose has- this man is becoming Nigel fucking Thornberry. Let's just do six real quick ones...

Way too descriptive and specific to be Lovecraft. A Lovecraft protagonist would just be like “no seriously shit’s so fucked I can’t even describe it, take my word for it”

[@cjboyo]

@@_ArmIa was lovecraft... bad?

[@cjboyo]

@Lawfl_ oh, I agree. He revolutionized horror. However, I tend to prefer modern eldritch horror.

[@_ArmIa]

Lovecraft made an entire career out of telling people his monsters were too fucking scary to even be described, and describing literally everything else in lurid detail. Also, weirdly and intensely racist.

""Do we feel good about this?" "No!" I feel like this is a perfect representation of their exchanges throughout this series

[@savon1710]

my favorite monster factory bit is when they do something, either a randomizer or just a slider, and they only see it from one angle and it looks maybe a little fucked up, but then they turn it and it's just completely buck wild
