#cthulhu moth

[dumbwr1ter]

I forgot about crackhead biology, we back, maybe not

This is a series where i post 3 animals with some kind of similarity, but distill it all through my completely insane mental process Anyways today we go with MOTHS

So, first of the usual 3, we have the Atlas Moth AKA "wandering painting", this being the largest moth im sure many of you know them, however i absolutely love the massive bastards, they are native to the forests of Southeast Asia

for the second one, this is more for the caterpillar than the moth itself, however we have the regal moth, with the hickory horned devil caterpillar (thats its actual name) im not going to make an AKA cause holy shit that goes hard, these are native to the forests of the Eastern US

and finally, we have the Cthulhu moth, AKA holy fucking shit what is that, im not posting it but just look it up, they have 4 large tentacle like scent organs on the rear of their abdomens, they are native to Australia because of course they are

cthulu and the kraken + cryptid doodles

disturbing imagery below (it's like one picture tho)

the reason why it says real wendigo is because able and tyson (my characters) are neo wendigos (created from deer parts by a vengeful witch)

and some able art :D

Links to my crochet patterns! I'll update this list when I make new ones, so if you're seeing this as a reblog it might be worth clicking through to the original post to see if any have been added - round bee pattern - spider buddy - little axolotl (for sale on Ravelry or free on tumblr) - fluffy mini bunnies - little t-rex - little llama - lemon earrings (free on Ravelry and tumblr) - moth (but no wing pattern, so it's more of a creature base??) - Marie Kondo (aka a doll pattern base) - a tooth - squirrel - tiny scythe - tiny punk - spinnable dreidel - mini blorbo - peas in a pod - happy pill - void cat - mothman and the skeleton - Pride Moth (different full moth pattern, including wings) - mini cauldron (with or without potion inside) The rest of these patterns are for sale for $2 in my Ravelry store: - mini manatee - fluffy baby seal - little crow, phoenix, and peacock - mini cthulhu - Velociraptors (based on Jurassic Park not on real science) - basket the fish (idk why I put this one behind a paywall, someone remind me and I'll make it free when I have more time) I wrote these over many years and at many different points in my pattern making journey, so if you are trying to make one and it doesn't make sense, please let me know. I've learned a lot about making patterns since I wrote some of these and I don't always remember to go back and update them (the ones that are for sale should be fine it's some of the earlier free ones I'm not sure about lol)

Little Cthulhu!König snippet

For as long as you could remember, you’d always been fascinated by mythology. By Gods specifically. There was something about them that drew you in. A younger you had akinned it to a fan and their idol but looking back on it now it now you could recognize that you were more like a moth to a flame. Reaching for something bright and unattainable, sure to be burned to nothing in the process.

These days you couldn’t help but feel that like that fire was real, could feel how it was so warm and giving but already consuming you at the edges. Your God’s flames, and oh how happy you were to let him burn you up and use the ashes of your soul. As long as he kept praising and loving you, his hand on the back of your head, patting you like some sort of dog, the feeling only intensified by the weight of the collar around your neck. Sure it wasn’t what you were expecting when you summoned an eldritch god in the woods but you couldn’t deny that it was…..nice. A god cared about you, even if he treated you like a pet more than a person. Scolding you when you touched his things like a cat about to knock over a glass. 

“Nein.” König, Your King, Your God, mumbled, batting at your hand when you reached out to touch one of his many tentacles. You noticed how he pointedly avoided your gaze, knowing how weak he could become when you gave him your puppy eyes. “You were naughty today. Ruined a potion that took me almost a whole 100 years to make.”

A trivial amount of time to him and you knew it, giving him a quiet and pitiful whimper, rubbing your face against his arm affectionately, watching how he started cracking at the edges.

“No.”

Another nuzzle and soft whimper.

“No.”

This time you whined, crawling into his lap, not giving him the chance to fend you off before you were wrapping your arms around his shoulders, giving him a teary eyed pout. Finally he relented, pinching the bridge of his nose as he sighed.

“Fine! Fine! You can touch the tentacles!”

Eldritch God: 0

You: 100+

What Happened at Wyvern Rock? (2020, I think) feels like a companion to Other Magic. Perhaps that’s just because I bought them at the same time as part of the same collection. Perhaps because they are both illustrated with lovely woodcuts (though with very different styles). But I think thematically, too. Where Other Magick imports folk magic to RPGs, the stated intention of Wyvern Rock is to bring Strangeness to D&D.

Drew Meger defines Strangeness as an experience or encounter that seems to challenge or defy our underlying understanding of the real world. That seems a touch broad to me, but in practice, Meger is essentially talking about the specific sense of strangeness attached to UFO sightings, cryptids and the fog of mystical and quasi-scientific oddness that tends to surround both. UFOs and Grey Aliens and the Moth Man are concepts that feel very much rooted in the 20th century, but in a weird way, they work extremely well in the context of D&D.

The zine is mostly interested in the Greys and in portraying these aliens and building adventures around them, I can’t help but be reminded of Delta Green, where they, and the Fungi from Yuggoth that control them, work in a similar way. I would not have thought that recontextualizing alien abduction folkore into D&D would work so well, but then I was kind of dubious about Call of Cthulhu meets X-Files, and I love that game now, so really, what do I know?

The main zine is accompanied by a bit of fiction called On Tattered Wings. It’s a fun little bit of cryptids meet D&D cotton candy with some fantastic art. I love Meger’s fusion of UFOs, Lovecraftiana and D&D imagery generally, but it really comes together for me in the fiction zine.

Here I am, your least favorite gremlin out of her garbage can, with another gremlin idea for Menaces AU .

The Butterfly™ is actually stupid enough to step into Paris, AKA Hawkmoth's territory, and not only that, but to prove that he can do whatever he wants in moth's turf and nobody could stop him, he tries to steal Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculouses, and even—takes an interst on Nathalie. This motherfucker actually went into HK's turf, fought his enemies, and by pure stupid coincidence, ended up interested in his assistant. The perfect concoction of disrespect to piss Hawkmoth off.

Everyone would expect him to react bringing an akuma like "Reflekta", "Multiplier" or "Miss Squirrel" (that definitely is not a ripoff of Mr. Pidgeon), overall, expected him to bring an akuma that Butterfly could defeat.

Nobody expects Hawkmoth to bring in Cthulhu.

Does least favourite implies that I have multiple gremlins on stand by?

Hawkmoth: "Send in Cthulhu."

Adrien: "…Like, a Cthulhu-based akuma?"

Hawkmoth: "No, no, Cthulhu. He owes me a favour."

Adrien: "For what?"

Hawkmoth: "Don't think about it. Here's his phone number, just don't look at it too long, the numbers are cursed knowledge or something."

Adrien: "This number is our HR department."

Hawkmoth: "He's the head of the department. Does good work."

Hawkmoth: “Here’s his calendar. Pick a day when the planets aren’t aligned, or else he gets cranky.”

Adrien: "We had Cthulhu in our back pocket this whole time and we never sicked him on Ladybug?"

Hawkmoth: "Ladybug isn't harassing my assistant with dirty messages."

Adrien: "He sent her a poem."

Hawkmoth: "A filthy, perverse poem."

Adrien: "He just says that her eyes 'reflect the boundless cosmos'."

Hawkmoth: “Reflects the boundless cosmos? Reflects the boundless cosmos? Are you hearing this, Adrien? This slimy… insectoid casanova thinks he can just waltz in here, spill a few poorly-disguised innuendos, and charm my assistant?"

Adrien: “I… Don’t think it was an innuendo, Father. He just… Mentioned her eyes?”

Hawkmoth: “Oh, sure, sure! Just innocently musing on her ‘infinite, alluring gaze,’ hm? And what’s next? Calling her his ‘celestial muse’? Describing her beauty as ‘indescribable, yet timeless’? This whole thing has one intention, Adrien, and it’s the kind of intention you don’t put in a Hallmark card! It's all code for unspeakable desires, and poor Nathalie has to suffer through it all."

Adrien: "So… Cthulhu?"

Hawkmoth: "Some disrespect requires a beating, some require eldritch intervention."

Nathalie is, of course, sitting off the side with a glass of wine basking in Gabriel's jealousy.

Yo I'm having a hard time pondering this important question if you had the option to go on a date with

[thenoeyebunnynobunsusmaingallery]

[Cthulhu Mythos Gijinka] : Apocolothoth

One of the great old one I found and interest to make a design. I haven't made his information yet because he has a little to adapt. So I mostly made up my own.

Since he is a moon god, I design him to be a moth and that's it...
