Whoever said "Fear is an illusion" was wrong

After receiving Joannie du'Preeste's report, the Governing Body was understandably concerned. Cooler heads reassured everyone that, until further analysis and a much more thorough scan of the entire interior of the planet is made, we should not jump to ludicrous conclusions. There is an unknown structure beneath the surface of the Earth that resembles a massive biological entity and it could just be a peculiar formation that our brains in their typical fashion interpret as such.

Then we did do a full scan of the planet and isolated the relevant layers and material compositions and

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S CTHULU

Okay, don't panic, everyone. I SAID DON'T PANIC!

How did H.P. Lovecraft know?

*Breathe in, breathe out*

We're not losing our sanity, right? But how would we know...

Stop that, not productive, think rationally.

How? It's a literally planet sized eldritch creature in a sorta fetal position and we can't agree on basic details!

I'm veering on the side of it defies understanding. Even the computers give different answers every time we ask how many arms it has, which, obviously, doesn't make any sense. Plus each of us hear different answers as well, so let's be smart and not try to understand it specifically, but address the potential consequences of its existence instead.

Well, obviously we can't tell anyone else.

We should discreetly inquire if any of the aliens have made similar findings though. Maybe this is no big deal.

YES. Please, I need that to be true.

Hopefully, but we need to prepare in case this is unique. It's position may indicate it is sleeping, whatever that may mean for a god-being.

The report said earlier scans showed weaker consolidation of the structure. I think it is reasonable to assume the explosion that created the Pacific Abyss and the subsequent expulsion and shifting of magma is a contributing factor.

Wait. Don't tell me we are waking it up?

Oh MY GOD!!! I'm panicking!

Hmm, what if other gods and the like are real too?

That is plausible, assuming this is an entity with supernatural powers. We only have anecdotal evidence of passive perception manipulation. I would hope the alien species of the Coalition have withheld certain secrets from us. If not, we will need to strategically share this discovery and manipulate a number of experts to perform innocuous activities that would indirectly examine and test various hypotheses.

If it's become somewhat observable because of that explosion, what's gonna happen when we can no longer maintain Earth's structural integrity and it fully collapses in, what was it, 95 years?

.....

I'M PANICKING!

New York

Artist: Peter Purves Smith (Australian, 1912-1949)

Date: circa 1936

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney, Australia

Description

After a brief period as a cadet midshipman, then a stint as a jackaroo in remote NSW, Peter Purves Smith began his formal art studies while on an extended trip to Europe, under Iain Macnab at London’s Grosvenor School of Modern Art.

Surrealism was making its mark across Europe during this period, and shortly before his return to Australia in 1936, Purves Smith studied work by its leading practitioners shown in two major exhibitions held in London and New York that year.

'New York', with its organic anthropomorphic forms tilting out of control, displays affinities with the paintings of Salvador Dali, as well as with the cityscapes of New York’s Ash Can artists Edward Hopper and George Bellows. The painting was among the first in Australian art to adopt surrealism’s vocabulary, and predates his contemporaries James Gleeson and Albert Tucker by several years.

TW: SICK BIRD & PET DEATH ;-;

In loving memory of my Budgie, Frisk. He passed away due to his Megabacteria conditions suddenly worsening rapidly despite the medication he was still on to help him... My mother (who also lives in the same house) took Frisk to the bird vet hospital while I was overseas to see if they could further help him.

A day after I had arrived back home in Australia, My mum and I got a call from the vet saying that his conditons have not improved, but we could go to the vet/bird hospital to say goodbye to him one last time before he crossed the rainbow bridge. When we got there, it was absolutely heartbreaking to see the condition Frisk was in, he was incredibly frail and thin due to the megabacteria, but chirped when he saw me.  I was lucky enough to hold him in a towel one last time and pat his soft feathers while telling him how much we all loved him for an hour before the vet helped him crossed the rainbow bridge and the suffering he had to endure from the megabacteria finally ended..

This was certainly the hardest thing to come back too, Frisk was such a lovely bird, he’d always sing whenever someone walked through the door and would always be a great companion when I worked on art peices on my animation desk. The house is a lot quieter without him now and its weird but also very sad. Rest in peace Frisk, We’ll miss you so much, you’ll always be our Special Rainbow Baby Budgie Boy <3
