Beat Saleos and lmao their traits are hating sacrifices (instantly nullified by one of my cult traits) and gaining faith when they fall ill. The second one extremely tracks for one of Kallamar’s former goons. lmao

this is my dnd (call of cthulhu) character, jay walker! he is a 25 year old drifter from danbury, essex. his parents participated in the cthulhu cult because they believed the great one would save them from their misfortunes. they were extremely poor and uneducated. when jay was 10 years old, he was chosen as an offering to the “black-winged ones.” although it devoured his right eye, his life was thankfully saved by his mother who had replaced him as sacrifice. he escaped the ritual and fled to london with his golden retriever, sunny. he was eventually adopted by a group of drifters who promised to keep him safe. he becomes determined to take revenge on the cultists and stop them from summoning cthulhu.

what's the meaning of life?

Many have wondered this exact thing over the centuries, indeed millennia, and few people agree on the answer, and even fewer have stumbled upon the right answer.

The first person to wonder about the meaning of life was Nur-Nak-Shellack Siz-Ezzar IV, the Sumerian widely regarded as the earliest philosopher. Around the year -4500, Siz-Ezzar wrote a cuneiform tablet on the matter and decided that the meaning of life was to please Molgar The Child Eater by sacrificing ones children upon the altar of burnt offerings. This decision was very popular at the time among the cult of Molgar, and everyone sacrificed all their children to the deity, and thus the cult ended when they ran out of children. Sumerian civilization collectively decided that as this cult had sacrificed itself out of existence, Siz-Ezzar was probably wrong about the meaning of life.

Next in -2000 came the great Egyptian philosopher Khu-Anakhotep. Khu-Anakhotep believed that the meaning of life was to please Montu the war god by impaling war-captives on the phallus of his statues. Though popular among the victors of war through the Nilotic Kingdoms, those who lost wars were less than convinced and Egypt, once united under the Pharoahs, decided life must have another meaning.

Around the year 0 in Bethlehem, a man was born who offered a radically different means toward deducing the meaning of life. He had twelve followers, he could walk on water, he could heal the sick, and he was believed by many to be the one true son of the God of the Jews. He was of course, Rabbi Shmaya ben Tabbai. Ben Tabbai felt like his predecessors that the meaning of life was to please God by honoring his 613 commandments as recorded in the Torah. As these commandments often conflicted with each other, forced women to sacrifice doves for the "sin" of menstruating, and insisted especially that men have parts of their dicks chopped off as babies, Ben Tabbai was quickly crucified by his own followers and forgotten when the more mainstream Jesus suffered a similar fate a month later.

Things went quiet for a few hundred years as nobody wanted to be crucified for suggesting which god was best to appease. Many religions came and went, worshipping diverse gods and trying diverse methods to appease them because although deities came and went and means of honoring those gods changed drastically, the one thing most religions across the globe agreed on was that the meaning of life was to honor God. Some cultures tried ripping out human hearts, some tried killing goats, some tried waging war on non-believers, and one fellow named Urmaine DeLesspec tried to eat 50 pizzas in one sitting to appease the glutton-god Mouthlar, but died after only his seventeenth.

The thing that perhaps most defines the search for the meaning of life is the misery that people have put themselves and others through in fighting over who had the best god, who knew best how to please that god, and who was willing to sacrifice the most to do so. So for most of history, wars have been ongoing, self deprivation and agony prevailed, and almost none of the people committing to it all were certain of the meaning of life, having only spread misery and pain in the name of love and worship.

This is especially ironic as the meaning of life is just to be happy.

Those who have stumbled upon or deduced the true meaning of life are few and far between. Some call it the pleasure principle, others call it hedonism, yet others have no interest in naming it or discussing it because they're too busy pursuing happiness, or simply being happy and enjoying life. They are a generally unquarrelsome bunch as argument tends to reduce pleasure, and there's no real reason to debate methods of happiness as, like the multitude of gods and means worship, they differ with every individual.

So it was eventually the philosopher Eric Hilliard Nelson in the year 1972 who finally and correctly codified the meaning of life: "But it's all right now, I've learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself."

An attempt I made to try and nail down the height difference between Helob and Beleth.

[cuddlingdragons]

On Cult of the Lamb: I like that Helob just seems to treat you as a fellow predatory animal. Could just be rambling out of my ass here but he seems pretty aware that your role is also to consume people for your benefit, yours just takes a lot longer than his does. (And in your case, you have the benefit of a higher power. Helob is just feeding Helob as far as I know.)

[cuddlingdragons]

Kallamar, the squid Bishop— or Squishop, if you will-

[cuddlingdragons]

God, goofiest thing from kuu/shinigamieater's stream of Cult of the Lamb stream VOD that kills me every time I think about it is a part where he imitates Helob's gobbledegook cadence (if that's the word???) to say "aaaaa smoke marijuana?"

Time stamped right before he goes into a Helob room for the first time, it happens right after he leaves it.

[cuddlingdragons]

Now in fairness to me I think most people probably couldn't/can't guess what animal Clauneck/Kudaai/Chemach are/is at first glance either... but the combination of me getting several character's animal species wrong with the fact that I haven't found a single npc with glasses is really tempting me to make my quasi-self insert character have uncorrected bad vision who regularly has this issue.

No one seems to have invented corrective lenses in the lands of the Old Faith!

[cuddlingdragons]

The other five tracks on it might be more my speed but I didn't really vibe with the single from the upcoming Hymns of the Unholy album. :[ (There's a few COTL tracks I'm hoping for that I think have huge potential for metal rearrangements!! I want to like this!)

Anyway it's got me listening to Beast in Black again lmao. I can 100% imagine the Goat vibing to that hahah.

[cuddlingdragons]

Oops! The character I've been brainstorming to interact with the people-eating spider for shenanigans is accidentally turning into a very earnest exploration of what freedom and grappling with fear mean in that world and the nature of death and consumption.

[cuddlingdragons]

I really love that my first and only Snorer in my cult is Witness Agares and my solution to this was to move their tent four squares away from everyone else like some Corner of Shame.

I love the idea that everyone is politely agreeing to not comment on this.

[cuddlingdragons]

Experienced an autistic specificity where I needed to investigate if:

Helob's shop room is different in each biome

And what those differences, if any, are

... and the conclusion from using the power of image search is that the layout seems to be the same with the only differences being lighting and the foliage around the room.

And as a random note it grabs my attention that metalwork seems to have a huge presence in his room. All those pipes! The crow cages! The... classic metal cages!

Might edit this later with my own screenshots if I remember down the line.

[cuddlingdragons]

So, I've said before that I listen to the cult of the lamb soundtrack a lot while doing my studying and note taking- specifically, the "Lofi Lamb" on massive monster's Youtube channel.

It has a live chat feed that I usually close immediately but I really wanted to preserve this message for cracking me up.

[cuddlingdragons]

I've been listening to Cult of the Lamb's OST a lot since my semester started and it's interesting to me that the arrangement for 'Narinder' feels mournful and how much that contrasts with the more aggressive opening to 'The One Who Waits'
