Because he said Cthulhu is pronounced in an alien tongue there’s a very real possibility it pronounced Carl

In English class, ‘the Call of Cthulhu’ was assigned to read. Well, I read it and had no issues. My friend on the other hand had nightmares for weeks.

I can sympathise with lovecrafts fear of deep water

Who is here because of smite?

Everybody gangsta until the squid starts walkin

Cthulhu did nothing wrong

The idea that no matter what we do, no matter how far we strive, no matter how much we develop, we are existing on borrowed time and Cthulhu WILL awaken and destroy everything is quite possibly the most metal thing in existence.

There's a fun little coincidence called the Bloop. In the 90s a massive underwater sound was picked up by microphones off the coast of South America. The nature of the sound suggested something massive (like bigger then the largest blue whale) and some scientists thought it was consistent with marine life. What makes this awesome is that it was detected not terribly far from the coordinates Lovecraft gives for R'yleth. To be fair they're pretty much certain at this point it was an icequake in Antartica that caused the sound (like an earthquake but with ice) but still pretty cool.

Who else plays smite and got recommend this

So "Call of Cthulhu" is basically an early version of a "found footage" story?

So ironically, Cthulhu became the most popular part of the Lovecraft mythos because he's one of the easiest to comprehend and understand.

I had to come back here after he was released in Smite. This is still one of the most well executed videos explaining Cthulhu.

[@GuyUWishUWere]

Cthulhu is the easiest to describe...

Cthulhu for president, 2020.

"Hello, have you thought of buying Eldrich creature insurance?"

[@stephenconnell]

Its a wonder Hollywood hasn't made a movie about Cthulhu.

[@boobtoobest]

He is the Hercules of the mythos, from what I've learned. He's almost an Outer God himself, but not quite, acting as a demigod-high priest to Azathoth.

It’s my belief that the reason Cthulhu drives you mad when you see him is because it is something so far from what we humans can ever begin to imagine. Which is why I also think that the depiction of Cthulhu isn’t what it actually looks like. It’s just what we humans can describe. The squid head, giant wings, and a humanoid body is just what we can imagine when we look at. We try to make out what the creature looks like by appropriating it with things we already know. So the famous image is not what it actually looks like.
