FINALLY, MY FURSONA.... NYA, MOTHERFUCKERSSSSSSSsssssssss [collapses dead on the pavement]

*gets down on one knee* I want to make a shared oc universe with you

an angle i enjoy in cosmic/eldritch horror is when, instead resorting to the old classic "the horrors being so incomprehensible that they break your brain and drive you mad" cliché, the premise is that in comprehending the horrors you are so changed by the experience that your new state is indistinguishable to an outside observer from madness. you comprehend the unknowable just fine, but actually communicating that to anyone else is impossible because they just don't have the mental framework required to understand it. the eldritch horrors don't drive you mad. what does is the ordinary everyday horror of finding yourself isolated, ridiculed and doubted at every turn, no matter how hard you try to make yourself heard and understood.

back in 2013 i would go on a roleplaying website and i had a group of friends there who all rped gravity falls stuff and there was this dude who was our designated soos and he was the shit. anyway his profile disappeared one day out of nowhere and we all mourned him until he randomly came back a month later and we were all like soos!!! what happened dude where did you go! and he was like sorry dudes i was in jail

i am going to freak out! and not in a way anyone finds endearing or relatable
