In all seriousness, I was writing a story about a lovecraftian/monster girl/beast thing that wakes up and torments a dude because he's living where she used to.

They grow to respect each other, and he gives her a room in his house.

In terms of looks, think Vigor Amelia, with a little monster girl sauce.

>>55278929
Defeats the purpose. The whole crux of lovecraft's horror was explicitly that the universe is big and doesn't give a fuck about us. The closest thing is Nyarly-kun, and he's scary because he's the exception to the rule that doesn't make sense. Or do you mean lovecraftian as in "swirly thing with tentacles"?

>>55278929
How eldritch are we talking? If it has problems understanding humans but sincerely cares about them I imagine that it would still accidentally hurt humans and then get really depressed about it, imagine a toddler that accidentally kills his pet fish and then cries about it

>>55279142

>>55279192

Now I remembered Amelia Bedelia. That's a good example of a eldritch being that is still friendly to humans while not understanding them.

>>55279206
Well think about it like this.

A lovecraftian being is to humans as we are to ants.

Now most of us don't care about stepping on ants, but some of us(like me) like ants, and avoid stepping on them. Some of us like helping ants.

So it's possible, but rare.

And some eldritch things are roughly human powers(old ones, snake people, and yithians), and can be nice to humans

>>55279206
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodens_(Cthulhu_Mythos)
>Nodens (Lord of the Great Abyss or Nuada of the Silver Hand) is a fictional character in the Cthulhu Mythos. Based on the Celtic deity, Nodens, he is the creation of H. P. Lovecraft and first appeared in his short story "The Strange High House in the Mist" (1926).

Something that uses us the way that mainstream Lovecraftian gods use the lesser creatures. Something that uses us against... I dunno... animals? Fish in the sea, getting their competitors out of the way? Other aliens (transporting us across the stars to fight a war for them on another world).

>>55279293
>A lovecraftian being is to humans as we are to ants.

Half-right. To a lot of them, they're unaware that we even exist. To some of them, it is more apt to say that we're like glass beads in beachsand. We're just a completely admissible blip on a universe they just walk over with less than a thought. The terror comes from the sheer scale.

>>55279383
But we are perfectly capable of admiring glass beads that we find in beach sand.

>>55279142
>I fucked my own mother to create me for the purpose of sacrificing myself to myself to save you from my wrath
>>55279293
>Some of us like helping ants.
These. An eldritch abomination that "likes" humans would still be utterly incomprehensible, because it's operating on entirely different scales and methods than humans.

For a more in-depth analogy, what would you do if you "liked" a particular colony of ants? Give them a bunch of food? Dig out some firm yet pliable soil for them to build nests in? Stand around warding off predators during mating season?

Probably not. Most likely you'd kidnap them to stuff them someplace you could watch them easier, paint garish symbols over their nests affiliating them with WH40k factions, try to lure them into conflict with other hives so you could watch them fight, and other just objectively insane bullshit that the ants don't want or understand, but that fulfills your bizarre idea of affection and might be good for them in the long term, for whatever sick definition of "good" an entity like you is using.

>>55279450
>Probably not
Speak for yourself. I'm the kind of guy who throws washed-up starfish back into the sea and releases caught spiders instead of killing them.

You're not doing the bead any favours and your attention irrevocably changes its life. Its silly, but its a silly metaphor. Even maybe like if our eyes receiving bounced light waves from the glass made it lesser or fucked it up somehow.

Or pic related.

Its a question of comprehension of scale. Even similar stuff to humans like old ones cut humans up to see what's going on and dgaf.

>>55279450
This. Humans disappear from their beds at night and wake up in a completely different bed in an uncanny valley city. Everything is slightly the wrong size and half of it doesn't work, like it was made by someone who doesn't understand what its for. The entire city feels weirdly "open" and sometimes people feel as if they're being watched - because a godbeing who exists adjacent to us along the fourth dimension of space moved all of the 4D "clutter" out of the way so it could see its pets better.

If you want food, there are diners, eateries, restaurants and homeless shelters evenly spaced throughout the city. No-one works at these places, food just appears on plates at these locations twice a day. You show up, take a seat, eat your food and then leave. No-one talks about it.

Want entertainment? There are several gyms around the city, all filled with workout equipment - even electronic stuff like treadmills or exercise bikes. You can drive cars too - just hop in one parked at the side of the road and go. Its push-start, no keys. Just don't try to take them apart. Without getting into details, they don't run on petrol.

There are no hospitals or doctors in the city. Minor illnesses - colds, stab wounds, infections, etc go untreated. Either you get better or it turns into a major illness. People with major illnesses are walking pariahs because most others know what happened next. At any moment a preson with a serious illness will disappear in a flash of something horrifying and unknowable. Then a few hours, days or weeks later, they come back, catatonic and dead eyed but perfectly healthy. These people slip back into the routine easily, going through the motions like a zombie. They don't talk to anyone. They rarely make eye contact. They spend the rest of their life shuffling around the city in silence.

I'm currently running a game at epic-tier in which the BBEG is an eldritch horror who genuinely loves and cares about humans to the greatest degree that it is capable. It sees the new universe it found as a genuine new friend, and takes great sadness that the conscious parts of it are all seperate, incomplete, and often suffering. It wants to take away new friend's *pain* take away new friend's *sadness* take away new friend's *forgetting* and take away new friend's *loneliness.* In order to endear itself to mortals, or *sad little hairballs with no scalp* as it calls them, it takes the form of small creatures that specifically trigger the cuteness reflex whenever it *dips its luxurious locks into new friend's loopy space* to make a three dimensional avatar.

It genuinely sees the separation between one individual and the next as the source of suffering in this universe, and also sort of sees it as a temporary lobotomy for a universe that it wants to make friends with, but sometimes *lonely hairballs* can only *see straight in loopy space* so they *can't understand* until after *grafting.*

>all these plebs not understanding lovecraft
Why? It's not difficult. You don't understand and that's the end of it. Even if you could understand, you can't communicate it without succumbing to mind melting madness. Even if you somehow could communicate it, people would go mad from trying to understand it.

A benevolent Lovecraftian being is every Lovecraftian being, in so far as humans are utterly insignificant in the cosmic scale of things. Interactions with humans, from a human point of view, are a big deal, but from a Lovecraftian point of view, interacting with ALL OF HUMANITY is like brushing against a blade of grass in a field. It has no idea what impact it's had, positively or negatively, and it's so utterly inconsequential that there's no point registering that it exists seperate from all the other grass.

Really, >>55279142 is about as accurate as you can get. Some horrifying hodgepodge adopted into the consciousness of a culture that people constantly bicker about with no possibility for resolution. Concepts so alien to logic that they require faith exclusively because there is no rational explanation. If I was forced to write about it, I'd probably describe a benevolent lovecraftian horror as that finger family youtube video garbage. You have no idea what it's about, or what's going on, but it's trying to communicate to a mass audience a bunch of spoopy nonsense we have no hope of understanding.

Fallen London and Sunless Sea have the Bazaar. Sort of. I'm not sure if it actually LIKES humans.

See, in the Fallen London setting, the stars are actually the eldritch gods known as Judgements. Their light is literal law, and enforces what Is and what Is Not, which is why there are so many bizarre things going on in the darkness of the Neath. They don't really care about humans, but it's implied that souls are the plankton they feed on, and they'll end you if you ever try to rise above your station.

The Bazaar is an interstellar crab/tower/thing that used to serve the Judgements as a messenger. It flies through space on "stone pigs", its tears is what creates snow in the Neath (and has horrible effects on anyone who eats it, or even studies it), and is coved in Correspondence sigils that will set your hair on fire at best, and make spiders steal your eyes at worst. Its daughter is a mountain that can grant eternal life, and its hired help are space bats. Unfortunately for everyone, it fell in love with the Sun. Since such a relationship would DEFINITELY qualify as stepping out of line in the cosmic sense, it's hiding out beneath Earth's surface.

So currently, the Bazaar is trying to find the ultimate love story, in the hope that it might finally convince the Judgements that love can bloom between an eldritch god and... a slightly less eldritch horror. It does this by transporting human cities into the Neath and then sifting through them for good stories. Unfortunately, it sometimes tries to take matters into its own hands; it deliberately creates huge problems for couples, or tries to force two unwilling people together, in order to show that love conquers all. On top of this, millennia of failure and loneliness has driven it into a drug-riddled depression. It's a bit like a dysfunctional child trying to play out a romance with her dolls, but the dolls are alive and would really rather she'd stop.

I'm thinking the Worm, from stellaris. Bloody brilliant quest line. Essentially a higher dimensional being takes a liking to your species. It consumes several of your top scientists, fucks up one of your colonies, sends rebel fleets to attack you, and eventually turns your home system star into a black hole. Time breaks down, as you end up with duplicates of leaders and ancient temples to the worm on your home planet. It's possible for your entire species' allignments to flip, but you get some insanely powerful tech and some populations that are naturally adapted to living on death worlds.
It fucks your species up, but that which does not kill me makes me stronger.

A burglar tries to break in and that doesn't go down really well. The house slowly becomes more and more silent hill 3 as the old one wakes up.

They eventually do approach what we would consider a friendship(mainly due to the burglar thing), but the differences of perception were fun to play with.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but the Lamentations of the Flame Princess module "No Salvation for Witches" has a lovecraftian horror that likes humans. It took it a while to tell the difference between the entities it was speaking to, but it was outraged at the horrible treatment of women in the backwater province it was summoned in, so it gave all the women gifts to fight the (admittedly overzealous) witchhunters. It of course made everything way worse as it didn't comprehend human life any more than humans comprehended it. I thought it was an interesting take, and surprising considering the source.

Overly coddles humans. If a human is about to die in a car crash the alien will teleport them to safety at the moment of impact, if humans attempt to leave the planet the alien sends them back to earth, when it comes to wars the alien will forcibly disarm both sides.

This has some real possibilities. Just imagine if there was a bro-tier eldritch god warping reality when we needed it most.

>It is the things that we cannot, and will not, ever understand; it exists in the crevices beyond what our understanding can encompass, and while we aggressively and continually push harder and harder, It knows. We will never know all. It will always have a home. It just wishes we would see that not all ignorance is bad. That not all facts need uncovering. Although there are certainly cruel things waiting in the dark, but without the shadow, there is no light. We will never know all, and we may never see. But that's okay. We don't need to.

I once made a setting somewhat similar to this. An eldritch superbeing thought mortals were cool, but he could barely even observe them without destroying them, much less help them in any meaningful way.

So he made a god for them. When that god didn't turn out the way he wanted, he made another god to stop the first one, and after a certain point, he'd kind of lost control of the entire thing.

Do Deep Ones count? Cause they seem happy breeding with humans, since any hybrid eventually becomes a full fledged Deep One. So they hand out treasure and lots of sex and any of your kids will be humanish for a bit before returning to the sea to be immortal.

Dagon seems like a cool guy...

>>55293741
Lovecraft got it wrong. Deep Ones and humans aren't separate species. There are no hybrids, or more accurately everyone's a potential hybrid. Deep Ones are amphibious in adulthood but juveniles are entirely terrestrial. Infant Deep Ones are indistinguishable from infant humans until they grow up and undergo metamorphosis.

Humans are just Deep Ones with paedogenesis. There's something wrong with us and/or a missing environmental trigger which prevents us from undergoing our full metamorphosis. We only develop our ability to reproduce in our land-living larval form as opposed to the gills and eldritch magical abilities we should get.

Presumably our ancestors were a few Deep Ones with some kind of metamorphosis-preventing genetic disorder so as soon as they moved too far inland for genetically healthy pure Deep Ones to come ashore and interbreed with them, they underwent a genetic bottleneck concentrating their traits. We're still cross-fertile though and there's a decent chance someone playing around with Elder Thing biotech or even conventional human medicine could figure out how to artificially jump-start someone's metamorphosis. Maybe even doing so accidentally when it turns out an experimental drug or synthetic food additive has the Innsmouth Look as an unexpected side effect.

This is a question tangential to a problem I'm trying to figure out in a game I'm playing. In this setting some sort of elder one visited humanity and spawned a faction of mutated humans that ended up wiping out the rest of the world. They were directed to do so at the behest of the elder one in the interest of warding of the attention of another elder one. It ostensibly loves humanity, though you wouldn't know it based on the mutations or the atrocities and genocide its followers are part of.

Fast forward a few hundred thousand years to the present. Humanity is flourishing again but not nearly as advanced as it was before, no one remembers the events of the past, and the mutated people of the elder one are mostly dormant underground. Through a long series of investigations and arcane abilities granted by the unaware other-elder-one that the original wanted to keep away, my character has discovered something that no one else in the setting ever has: how to turn himself into an elder one as well.

I haven't done it yet for a few reasons, but one of them is I have no idea how I'm going to roleplay that. Should I still care about humanity? Would it be a more authentic affection than the other elder one that mutates its followers because my guy is born of humanity and 'gets' it better, or would the new perspective on the universe wipe out such notions? It doesn't help that the discovery is essentially a skip right to the end result with no explanation of the greater implications or nuances of the transformation, those will probably be explained when I take the plunge. But it's fun to think about in absence of the facts.

Imagine a pond full of tiny fish, and you decide you want to help them. You could sprinkle food on the surface; from the perspective of the fish, alien but doubtlessly useful gifts manifest within their universe. If you see something that you think is bad for your fish, you might reach in, grab it, and remove it from the pond. The fish would see a great calamity pass them over and tear something out of the universe. You can't totally know if what you're doing makes them happy, but it's well meaning at least.

Now we are the fish, living in what look like more complicated systems. The Friendly Abomination can't understand us any more than we understand it, and would have to rely on guesswork to know what we humans might like and be helped by. Weird shit would happen. Weird shit from which useful benefits could be derived, but weird all the same.

Starving hoboes find the broken and mutilated carcasses of animals at their feet, adorned with a heap of various soft plant matter, most of which is edible. A man lost and wandering comes across a few 'modern' buildings... or what modern buildings would look like if made out of play-dough bedrock, deformed (or formed in too perfectly angular ways) with some functional bits just fine but others nothing more than facades. Staying in the 'hotel', silent and empty as it is, might be good and again there's something like food to be found, but seriously this is creeping me out. In essence, random miracles would occur but they would be hard to accept since they would have an ignorant, hackish, trial-and-error sort of quality where you get not exactly what you need by providence but what something, who doesn't really understand, believes you might want.

It starts out porn, but there's also a non-porn version ongoing as well.

porn version: Goat of a Thousand Young fucks a little boy in vaguely disturbing ways.

This reminds me of a thread a while back talking about a D&D dragon whose hoard wasn't a pile of money but a large village in a cave. All the houses and landscape had been built by the dragon as models, magically supplied river with fish, false sun and everything.

He genuinely cared for the villagers living there but also saw them as parts of his 'model train' set and was kinda oblivious to some of their problems or concerns.

Nurgles daemons don't love, or like us.

The only daemons that are close to us in the manner of their birth (their growth fueled by the consumed souls of mortals,) plaguebearers, exist to suffer and pursue hopeless, thankless, endless tasks.

Nurgle and its daemons are about making you think Despair is joy and love.

Nurgle's lot feed off of despair.

If you give them hormones, they change into salamanders.

>>55305310
Nurgle loves you because Nurgle's love is despair. Nurgle doesn't understand why people don't want his diseases at first, which is why he wants to perfect them. If they're better then people will like them more, and be happy when they're covered in boils and everyone can dance with nurglings in his gardens.

How so?
>she has goat legs because of their association with western demons
Could be other way around. Humans gave their demons those legs because they got a glimpse at shubby.
>most importantly she's nowhere near powerful enough to be lovecraftian
Lovecraftian stuff never actively tries to be powerfull. If they exterminate all life it's not because they wanted to, they just did not notice life on that sand corn over there which they melted down to make glass or something.
>along with understanding humanity far too well for something that is meant to be as lacking in it's ability to understand us as our ability to understand it.
That I agree with you. But well, it is fapmat.

The essence of lovecraft is contained perfectly within the story "The Colour Out of Space". Lovecraftian creatures CANNOT like humans just like they CANNOT hate them. Lovecraftian entities are so divorced from human thinking, concepts, logic and understanding that any human concepts cannot be applied. A lovecraftian thing might want something a human has, or be drawn toward an action or something like that, but think of lovecraftian things like intelligent insects. Think of a spider. What does a spider like? What does it think about? Does it think, in the way we do? Imagine if those spiders did things other than simply eat, if they constructed things that seemed to have no purpose. If they did things you couldn't understand and occasionally, caused great harm to humans, though other times they completely ignored them.

The essence of the Lovecraftian thing is a black box. You can only see the occasional output and it has the power to casually destroy you. You can have them protect humans but they can't seem to be doing it for human reasons. Not love. It can be a like a child playing with bugs though, capriciously killing or saving for some completely unknown reason, following no logic.

>>55308250
Love can be as incomprehensible to humans as any lovecraftian entity.

I think it fits, and it certainly adds a disturbing twist to see an emotion that is typically seen as extremely human taken completely out of context in it's most terrifying and obscure form.

Listen, man, by definition if you make it have comprehensible human emotions it is NOT lovecraftian. Doesn't matter if they're twisted or not. Twisted emotions are the realm of demons and evil things that are malevolent. The essence of Cosmicism and lovecraftian horror is not malevolence, its insignificance. If an old one loves you, even in a fucked up way, it's noticing you. The thing that was so revolutionary about his horror and so reflective of the times and the advancement of science was that humanity could be wiped out by things that didn't care about us whatsoever.

Malevolent or twisted things conspiring against humanity is as old as time. But the idea that some great and incomprehensible force could move about its own business and mankind could be extinguished without it even noticing, that was new. And to people of the time, it was unimaginably terrifying and counter to everything they held as true in their human centric mindset.

So you can make some evil thing that loves people in a fucked up way and has tentacles and call that Lovecraftian if you want. But it's not. Its just apeing the style.

Well that was disappointing, why did you give me the sauce if you knew it was going to be bad?

>>55308991
Except there IS at least one Lovecraftian entity who feels clear emotions and is interested in humans (Nyarlathotep), even if he's a tremendous dick. Hell, he even gets outsmarted in the ending of Dream-Quest. If nothing else, it establishes a precedent for the possibility of an eldritch abominations being interested in us.

>>55310501
Lovecraft, by his own admission, strayed from his cosmicism ideas in some stories. He still said that Color was his best work because it stuck perfectly to those ideas.

Eldritch only in the literalist "incomprehensible in language, motive, or purpose". Amelia fits one of them, not so much the others.

They assimilate the ones you love so you can be together forever!

>>55308250
That's a two way street. They operate on too large a scale to understand, and we are too small for them. We are quarks and "spins" and quantum mechanics to their scale of the observable universe. Our emotions are as remote from them as what ever drives their alien objectives is from us.

Maybe that's why Nyarlathotep is so involved with humans, he doesn't get why we do what we do. A human holds a family at gun point for wood pulp to acquire a drug, a human takes a bullet meant for it's offspring, why'd it do that?

>>55292864
I've been planning out an idea for a guy(probably an NPC) who really just wanted knowledge for the sake of knowing, and contacted something from beyond his reality with a ritual, which was actually an eldritch marriage proposal.

'she' or at least her races equivalent of she accepted because she liked his motivations in life. And he doesn't really have a choice, but he doesn't mind.

They've been together for a while collecting all sorts of hidden knowledge for fun, and want kids at some point. (She says he'll be ready in another of his human centuries or so, he hasn't actually aged since they met, and he's mildly concerned what she means by that.)

>>55297445
Do it!

>>55297572
You were once Human, thus you can truly know their plight.
You ought to care for Humans "properly"... though, if that "proper" care means saving them from themselves, or from some abomination they may become, who can say? You will truly care for humanity, but new awareness makes new perspective... it won't erase the old, only add to it.

My personal understanding and interpretation is that she's definitely a bit Lovecraftian but she's interacted with humans for long enough that she's begun to understand some aspects of it before the series begins. The big thing that sets her apart from most of Lovecraft's deities is that she's at least capable of understanding us, both as a species and as individuals.

She said that she's been called a god and a demon, not that she really is either of those things.
