The dog has one of the Great Old Ones reassuring him with pats and treats tho. If the King in Yellow had played with u and fed u for ur entire life and let you sleep in his berth of unspeakable blackness at night, and then hugged you reassuringly when Cthulhu rose from the depths, you might be able to handle it better too

    Maybe I’m just more cynical than I thought, but isn’t that kind of the biggest draw of religion, organized or cultish? Finding an unfathomable sugar daddy to help make some sense of and/or comfort us through inexplicable realities beyond our ken? Like Entropy, What Happens When We Die, and Why Are Other People Like That.
