If Cthulu's eldritch aim is good enough to target whatever genes and neurons cause authoritarianism, we could save the parts of humanity worth saving!

Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
669 readers

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

How any Older Gods would actually answer:
Truly the greatest Mountain Dew flavour
I would help our great ancient one, no questions asked.
The moral implications of not choosing extermination of humans are just too big for me to even contemplate.
I'd also be on board, especially if comes with Eldritch Blast.
Ok, so what are you bringing to the table with "your" destruction plan?
I thought he was gonna realize that we are gonna destroy ourselves anyway so he can just go back to sleep
Same, I thought he'd come around to figuring that we're going to torture humanity way more thoroughly than cosmic horrors would.
"A whole ass country just re-elected the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep."
How can you say that - it's a totally different color?
(The rest of the looks are there tho)
If we're going with Cthulhu Wars colors, the orange faction is the Sleeper, and their Great Old One is Tsathoggua. I'd like to quote a description from "The Tale of Satampra Zeiro" for no particular reason :
He was very squat and pot-bellied, his head was more like a monstrous toad than a deity
I like how this is illustrated, Cthulhu looks like a dude with a dad bod in a loose fitting wetsuit.
Dude hasn't moved his ass for 10,000 years.
Yes, please destroy us.
