/tg/ we all know about eldritch abominations, both the evil and ambivalent kind. But what about the good kind? What if there was a world where there was no evil or neutral abominations, just good. It's a world where people still try and stop their resurrection and/or awakening.No one wants to have a 40 headed monstrosity covered mouths and baby limbs perched on the highest point in the city screeching at everybody in every possible language to not smoke and drink. It's so loud you want to look at it but if you even glance at it from the corner of your eye gives you a headacheA world where you could be minding your own business when suddenly a blue blob bubbles out of your kitchen sink, drives you insane while in its presence and when it leaves you find that it redecorating/cleaned your house for you misplacing everything while leaving your bedroom with reversed gravity for some reason and there's a plant with eyes on the dining room table. The eye-plant is on a plate to so you're not sure if it's a gift of food or decoration.A world where you're lectured by nightmare beasts for accidental littering. A world you fear being bad just a little bit. It's a world of horror.
you mean like the biblical angels that /tg/ loves to go on about?
Superhero.No that they are, but what about one that his or her power is being... an eldritch abomination.

I despaired as the chanting of the cultists reached it's crescendo. I had sought to prevent the summoning, and failed. Tied to a nearby tree I could only watch in horror as rift opened in the fabric of space above the stone circle they had raised in the midst of this primeval forest.Through the breach in our reality I witnessed the mad swirling of ultimate chaos. I saw shapes undefinable by euclidean geometry. Strange, indescribable radiations illuminated the scene, as a vast amorphous form forced itself into our reality. I laughed and howled with madness as the utmost abomination was made manifest before me. I felt reality itself curdle around me and knew our world would never be the same. My next memory is awakening in the woods. My bonds had been cut, and a blanket draped over me. With a sore throat and stiff limbs I slowly made my way back to my car.As I drove back to the city the frantic yammering of the radio informed as to what had been unleashed upon our world. AIDS, at long last, had been cured.

It would be a risky gamble. All I had to do was undercut my competitors and make a few shady investments. It meant that some men would lose their jobs, maybe their careers. Good honest men. Nothing illegal about it, it's just strictly business. All I had to do was press enter on the keyboard and I'd be rich! But something is stopping me! It's in the corner watching me. It's looks like something you would get if you crossed a armadillo and a flamingo complete with a upside down dog head and spray painted puke yellow.

>>28704031I think that would undermine the basic idea. The concept of cosmic horror is based on the idea that, since the cosmos is not humanocentric, there are forms of life and reality utterly alien to the human experience. It would be plausible and interesting if ~some~ of them were actually helpful to humans, but having them ~all~ be benevolent makes even less sense than all of them being actively malevolent.

I do not remember the shape of the beast that had crept into my room through the angles of time and reality. I do not know its name, and I am sure that I indeed could not know its name without going entirely insane. I do not know for what length of time it spent in my company, or what it did in my presence, although my room seems to twitch in places at the corners of my eyes since its visit, and sometimes I swear I can hear a sound like a balloon being inflated.All I do know, is that whenever I try to think of it, I can only remember these words, as if they had been etched into my brain by some horrible carving knife"Miracles are what happens when you get out of the way of yourself!"
You hear the pitter-patter of its many feet, scurrying along, doing what pleased it.You know that you shouldn't look, shouldn't draw its attention, shouldn't stand out.And you do your best.But you hear the steps grow closer, see the empty space it was given by everyone around expand, and encompass you, and finally, feel the heavy silence, as it speaks."You almost forgot your luggage!"

Didn't Brian Lumley do something similar?

Kthanid is literally described as identical to Cthulhu, but with "diamond-dusted" skin that "shone with the light of the stars" and "eyes of molten gold". It's also implied to be a member of the same race, if not even a relative.

>I ran out of my house crying.>It was the worse argument I've had with my family ever.>It started off stupid then it got worse so fast.>Feeling miserable for myself I walked to streets, looking for reasons not to head back.>About a hour went by like this until suddenly the night was strangely still.>No wind, no chirping and calls of insects and animals, no local noise from around town.>Then a low moan started to become barely audible.>I stood still trying to understand what I was hearing and where it was coming from.>The moan was unearthly, unlike anything I've heard.>It was like cries of the lost searching for their way home.>It sent chills up my spin and what really frightened me was that it was getting closer.>I started to run, no particular direction just away from that horrible sound.>It kept getting louder and louder and when I turned to look back I just saw thinks looking at me.>In greater and greater numbers pale shapeless figures with dark holes where the mouth and eyes should be were looking at me.>They leaned out from behind trees, doorways, in from the edge of darkened windows, from behind roofs, from under cars.>More and more appearing just showing up all around me.>I ran until I couldn't run anymore.
>>28714611>I was standing in the middle of the street and they were all around me now, their moan was just on this side of almost deafening and almost maddening.>They did not move from their "hiding" spots but there were so many it would be easy for one to reach out and grab me if I was too near.>I gave up. I closed my eyes and curled into a ball. Hoping for this nightmare to be over.>With that they approached, I tensed up hoping it would be over quickly.>"You really should go back and apologize.

I usually bike home from work the quickest route, but on a sunny day like that day, the scenic park route seemed like a welcome change. As I lazily make my way through the crowds, I spy something from the corner of my eye. Under a tree, there was what looked like a hole in the trunk the size of a person. For just the brief moment it was in my vision, I feel like something had knocked the wind out of me. All of a sudden, I feel so tired that simply moving the pedals feels like a gargantuan task. I pull over the bike and make my way to the nearest bench. As soon as I sit down, I can see it. The hole from the trunk is walking towards me. As it makes its way towards me, I feel as if I had never slept in my entire life. Extreme fatigue set in over me as the hole walked toward me, so much that I could not even open my mouth to scream. It seemingly slid over the ground, completely unmoving as it made its way towards me. Now that it was closer, I could see that it wasn't a hole.It seemed human in shape, if only because I couldn't think of a better descriptor for its features. It had a mouth that reached to the sidewalk, and in its dark recesses I could see the glimmer of many teeth and saliva. Its matted hair, which seemed to be black on first sight, looked as if it absorbed all light shone. As I prayed to any and all deities that I hoped would listen, my mental pleas that at least they would make it quick and painless, it turned around. Its mass appeared to shrink for a moment. I realized it wasn't shrinking, but bending to sit down. For what seemed like an eternity, it lay on the other end of the bench, breathing heavily with a breath that smelled like copper and rot. It shifted its weight, and moved its mass towards me. It made a sound like a dying animal crossed with the howl of winter wind. It took me a while to ignore my terror and piece together what I realized was a sentence..."Hey. Are you doing anything this weekend?"

It's raining as I walk home from the funeral. It's been a week of constant misfortune. A pet's death, a breakup with my girlfriend, now my brother's death. The downpour in the dark evening sums up the my mood exquisitely. Then, in the night, I can see something wrong. A single floating red dot. It starts to come closer, the dot is attached to a writhing mass of glossy black flesh. Only the head remains the same vague shape, something resembling an avian head. The rest of the body is changing, it might have tentacles at one point, the next moment, four legs, then wings, or it slithers on a snake like body.I stand still as it approaches, my horror locking me in place. The sight of the creature is an offense to reality, I feel a pain in my head as a single drop of blood worms its way out of my eye. The thing reaches me, where it rears up so it stands eye to eye with me. It turns its head from side to side, gazing at me with no discernable expression. I try to scream, or cry or run but I am held motionless, unable to summon the strength to move. Two protrusions come from around the mass's back, one clutching a bouquet of flowers, the other a small box of chocolate.Written on the box is "happy valentine's day"

Gentle at heart, flumphs understand that their appearance often terrifies viewers, and thus conceal themselves and observe neighboring settlements from afar, only revealing themselves when absolutely necessary. They also know full well the limitations of their fragile forms, and rather than directly opposing the horrors they seek to defeat, they prefer to recruit and advise heroes to tackle these dangerous tasks instead.

When they catch wind of a potential incursion, either in their mystic dreams or by watching the stars for telltale signs, the creatures generally send an emissary to make contact with a civilized race, often lurking on the fringes of a community and observing the populace before picking the most accepting person to approach.>Flumphs find great pleasure in making pacts and upholding them.

You collapse into the mud. Your body has finally given out after hours of running with no rest, unable to push itself any longer. Your breath comes in ragged gasps, filling your burning lungs. For all of your determination and terror, you just can’t go another step. You can hear them calling out to one another and the branches snapping as they close in as you futilely try to drag yourself through the dirt and leaves, but you know that this is the moment their hunt ends.You look up and can see the things circling around you. Their spidery limbs twitch and jerk as they haul their impossibly gaunt bodies through the underbrush. This is it, you think. This is how it ends. One of them reaches you and snakes out a single tendril, lifting you by one ankle like you were a feather. On the way up its enormous frame, you see your image reflected a hundred times in its dozens of eyes, but your features are distorted and feral. Death would be preferable to what comes next.Still upside down, you are brought face to “face” with the atrocity. You try to shut your eyes, as merely gazing upon the thing in all of its horrible majesty brings visions of mouths and blood. Its featureless head cracks open, and you can see a star-speckled void stretching forever, rimmed with teeth beyond count. You pray it will be over quickly. A faint, ragged, sucking of air precedes its screech.“WE NOTICED YOUR CAR HAD A FLAT TIRE BACK THERE.”You peek one eye open.“NEED A HAND WITH THAT?”You twist your body slightly, and see that the other two are holding a jack and a spare tire. It would fit your car perfectly.“...s-sure?” you barely manage to eek out. You drive off, still watching behind you warily. You put down the note with written directions to the nearest gas station and turn the rear view mirror away. You thought you saw them waving at you.

Oh, man. I'm gonna fucking use this in my Dark Heresy campaign. Think about it. Team is in the slums on some hive world. A deadly plague is wreaking havoc in the lower levels population. Nobody above cares as usual. But rumors are spreading about a cure. Someone has taken residence in an old hospice and gives care to anyone who needs it for free. Team locates the hospice and enters. It's filled with the diseased and downtrodden. They wait in silence. Men and women in pale blue robes hand out carpets, food and drink. Every five minutes, patients are led through a door. Nobody seem to return. Assassin wraps his cameleonine cloak around him and takes a trip in the ventilation-system.Crawling through a labyrinth he finally reaches a room. Watching through the vent, he sees a white, but dark room. A patient is laying on a slab. Three robed figures stands around him, praying in a laguage which give you discomfort. A tall fourth figure appears. It pulls back it's cowl. It's face...vaguely human, but his face carries a great beak and long dark blue feathers. The patient is stripped naked, and the creature draws his hand across every boil and sore. The flesh warps and and in place of plague, the skin now takes colours and in some spots patches of soft down or an eyeball.The patient rises on his own...he is given a new set of clothes and one of the robed figures escorts him out. The birdlike creature waves his arm slowly, and a new patient is guided into the room...Knowing my players being a bit radical and "goody-two-shoes" at times. This will give them quite the dilemma. Let minor mutation take place in exchange for a painful death and risk of spreading plauge further? Or stop this heresy now, taking away the only chance of survival and further risking riots and other consequences. Oh, I'm so looking forward to next friday. :3

Here, upon the pages of this journal, I will record my now fleeing memories of the event, that fateful meeting, which will change my perception of reality forever. I was on my way home from the library in town when I crossed through a small, forrested path. As I looked around me into the darkness, I suddenly felt a sharp stinging sensation between my temple, before my consciousness caught up with the thing my eyes had perceived: a mass of round stamps appeared in the snow in front of me, growing in number every moment, until something took shape in the air above them. I wanted to turn, to run, or to at least close my eyes rather than see this...thing, this abomination of nature, and even remembering it now provokes a terrible headache. With its hundreds of thin arms outstrechted, it scattered at me on countless legs, staring, as it seemed, straight into my soul with horizontally slotted eyes protruding between the thin appendages. As it stood before me, a noise of a million teeth shattering against each other arose, before that same clatter shaped something akin to words:"IT'S VERY COLD OUTSIDE, YOU COULD GET SICK! HERE, TAKE MY GLOVES AND MY HAT". The monster stretched out two of its arms. One of them let what seemed to be a pair of arm long, organic tubes fall into my hands. The other set a cap upon my head, solid in shape, yet soft on the inside. Breathing a thanking response, I ran as fast as my body, fuelled by adrenaline and fear, would take me. From behind me the creature called out, "AND DON'T OVEREXERT YOURSELF!".Thoughts? Critique? This is my first piece of writefaggotry I've done here, how'd I do?
>>28737763I don't see how those are different from normal Mormans.
I mean, sure, hoodies, the color white, strawberry jam and any musical note on the minor scale give me terror headaches that leave me weeping opening in the fetal position, but my new personal assistant is just so darn chipper and good at managing my schedule that I just can't see myself replacing her.Seriously.Every time I think too hard about my new personal assistant, I no longer cast any reflections. Other than that, life is good!
Nar-Sie only wants some love.
Fluffing this concept out a little more, I'm envisioning the beings existing partially in several realities at once.The entities can manifest certain power in their own reality by effecting ours.This makes them sometimes unpredictable but most of the time the singular entity pursues a similar power.For example, satisfaction and physical pain might combine for a typical alien desk job 9-5.This mean that it will help someone as it makes them howl and boils away their flesh.Another way I'm entertaining is positive actions transforming into physical objects in their realm, them being the carpenters and architects who have no sense of the consequence of what they do in our realm.
So where do all these strange, well-intentioned beings come from? Perhaps they're refugees from other worlds trying to adapt to local customs? Or minions of a benevolent God meant for worlds beyond Earth, trying to do their duty in a place they were never meant to inhabit.
>>28711449but... Yog-sothoth has never actually been depicted as malevolent? At least in the original mythos stuff. Like, some cultists do some weird shit but Yoggy doesn't really have an active hand in any of that.
>>28754641In the Dunwhich Horror the beings trying to push along the plan to "take the world out of the solar system" are the Old one or the Great old ones (I think they are the same thing). However to do it they needed Yog-Sothoth's powers which involved getting his essence hence the incestuous birth of Wilbur and the Horror
>>28754641Yog-Sothoth isn't a person per se, it's space and time.
>>28757300The Great Race, the Elder Things and the Outer Gods are all separate "races". Not sure there are any "Old Gods" in Lovecraft, they're all as old as the cosmos. Maybe the Gods of the Dreamlands, who are based on human myths?
>>28711449you're thinking of august derleth's awful shit writing
>>28757373It's a bit nebulous and some later writers made kind of a clusterfuck but from what i remember they are organized thusly:-Outer/Other Gods: Azathot, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlatothep, Shub-Niggurath and a couple of others; they embody cosmic principles and pretty much rule the universe.-Elder Gods: a mysterious pantheon of deities, enemies or at least rival to the Outer gods and apparently much more benevolent toward humanity. The most famous are Nodens and Hypnos.-Great Old Ones: Lesser deities, like Cthulhu, Yig or Ithaqua, often servants of the Outer or Elder gods. They're incomprehesibly powerful by human standards but still small fries compared to the big guys. They tend to have more worship than the outer gods since they're much more involved in human affairs.-Great Ones: the myriad of human-like gods of the Dreamlands. They're barely above superhero level but they're under the protection of the Outer gods so you better show some respect. They think humans are pretty cool.-Avatars: Independent manifestations of a god, like the 999 Masks of Nyarlathotep.Then there are the various mythos races, divided into Independent Races (ghouls, Old Ones, the Great Race) and Servitor Races (Deep Ones, Snakemen). Dunno about these "Old Gods".
>>28754132They need humanity ti become a benevolent Gestalt deity since they won't survive once their betters make the cosmos go boom.
>>28757518No, he's thinking of Lumley, they're in the Titus Crow stories. (which, as much as I'm not a fan of term, I'd be hard pressed not to dub Mary Sue fiction)>>28758072Those divisions are mostly given in the CoC RPG from Chaosium. Other sources are often more fluid. Even with those categories, there's some flexibility: Hastur has occasionally been placed as an Outer God, rather than as a GOO as usual.What exactly is the difference between Bast and Yig in the mythos?
>>28705102>cholesterolFucks sakes, that does not cause heart disease.Inflammation does and Oxidized small LDL under stress, smoking or other.Go and watch the Fat head documentary you uncouth swine.
>>28704031Why not someone who turned into a chaos monster but kept their sanity (more or less)? So they sort of just want to have someone to be friends with?
>>28758308Bast is an Elder God but her cult is pratically dead outside the Dreamlands, but she is always described in positive terms (Lovecraft really loved cats); Yig is a Great Old One (so in theory less powerful) but still has his snakemen and snakehandlers cults across America. Both of them are very similar though: aloof, reserved gods that will leave you alone if you don't mess with their worshippers/favourite animal but will personally come for your ass if you do.
>>28747540Very well. It's one of the better bits in this thread
>>28758436That's rather typical though. Though maybe someone like that is probably a "victim" of the benevolent elder things
>>28758436>>28762466Something like this maybe?
>>28763389shit, whisper can fly why wouldent you pick that
>>28763389i still want to see a spectre efreet buddy cop show
>>28763389Didn't /tg/ make an awesome thread with this a long time ago? With an order of Efreet paladins and an evil syndicate of glue obseessed widows?
>>28763389Bloodgod. That way I'll already have a bunch of people worshiping me inadvertently
Bump.
This is one of the most entertaining threads from /tg/ in awhile, actually made me bump something.
>>28763389>Impulse - can teleport anywhere it can see or to spilled bloodtfw can endlessly teleport to girls' bathrooms and girls' locker rooms. :)
Since when has it taken eight hours for a thread on /tg/ to die?
>>28777267It's been going on for three days now
>>28777504three days and still 100 off from autosage.
>>28758263>They need humanity ti become a benevolent Gestalt deity since they won't survive once their betters make the cosmos go boom.I like that.
