[QUOTE="Arrgh! Mark!, post: 3453430, member: 14559"] People here seem to be misconstruing Cthulhu as someone who has deliberate schemes against humanity. This isn't true. His cult has schemes against humanity. Cthulhu is both asleep and dead. He doesn't do much; occasionally his mind touches things, and generally that leads to artistic pretention rather than full blown madness or even cult behaviour. No, Cthulhu doesn't hate or care about humanity. He doesn't really even know we exist. It's unlikely he even knows about his cult - created when his dreaming and dead mind touched the minds of humans over aeons. It's the humans that want Cthulhu to rise again before his time, to bring in the real world or whatever (I assume a lot of mind bending reality happens rather than Cthulhu eats everything. Gravity stops, etc.) Assuming that Cthulhu is evil is again, like saying the law of gravity is evil. It is; its so much bigger than us we can't comprehend it. Just because we get smeared doesn't mean anything to Cthulhu, if he even noticed us at all. It's the crazy cultists you have to watch out for. They are the evil ones; the far realms just happen. To the first poster - The far realms aren't evil, though their effects can be. Their effects could also be beneficial - Shub-niggurath causes pregnancies around the world or all sorts of things. The far realms are more eternal laws in denial with advanced creatures beyond our thinking that we sometimes accidentally get involved with. [/QUOTE]
