I still want my idea of "Twilight fucking up and bringing the old gods into Equestria, thus everyone dealing with the consequences" to go somewhere.

I would write some green myself, however I myself don't have enough supplementary knowledge on HP Lovecraft's works or any other stories and information pertaining to the old gods to write anything substantial.

A quick read on wikipedia about Lovecraft work and some elder gods, (The most interesting are Nyarlathotep, Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath and Azathoht) may get you started quickly

>>29154984
The thing about writing a elder god is not knowing about them. They were made to be forever unknown, with simply understanding that they exists can screw with the mind. So don't write about them, write about the cults. The mysteries that surrounds their influence. And how fruitless human (pony) nature is to them, because that's largely how Lovecraft did it.

>Cthulhu
>not Yog-Sothoth
I mean, the character was so central to Lovecraft's body of work that he referred to the whole of it as "Yog-Sothothery." It was that dualistic faggot Derleth who coined the "Cthulhu Mythos" and made Cthulhu out to be a more crucial element.

There's certainly plenty of lore, but most of it doesn't factor directly into stories, except in some portents and undertones. It's really more about the atmosphere and themes than the specifics.

- Cosy, provincial settings overlying veneers of seedy occult history
- Ancient and terrible traditions kept alive by backward pockets of society -- perhaps once-esteemed families, though fallen far from grace
- Truths that, when learned, can sap someone's will to live and/or shatter their concept of reality
- Above all else, a materialist philosophy that stresses humanity's fleeting and all-around insignificant nature in the context of the universe. The idea that existence and its truly important entities are indifferent to humanity, their "opposition" to us exists on the scale of a person killing bacteria by washing their hands, and that a human has as much agency as the elementary particles of which it's comprised.

Anyone who attempts a faithful mashup of Lovecraft and MLP has their work cut out for them, because in a lot of ways, Pony is diametrically opposed to this philosophy. Love and friendship are shown to be very real, very raw forces of nature in Equestria, which is a far cry from the coldly self-propagating purpose those concepts would serve in a cosmicist setting.
