imagine TAZ but its those lame “first thing your soul mate says to you appearson your arm” so when kravitz reaches the right age, his arm just says “Hey rock monster, tell me your name so i can tentacle your dick!”
Basically what I’m saying is “thing that moves like a distorted gif, but in meatspace” works much better than “thing with tons of tentacles” as a visual representation of cosmic horror, IMHO.
Nowadays, sure, but human depictions of cosmic ineffability are always informed by time and place. In the early days of deep-sea exploration, “thing with tons of tentacles” was the very pinnacle of “holy shit what is that”; it’s just that the symbol has aged in a way that the substance has not.

I loved the audio compilation of Griffin McElroy regretting his existence [as DM of The Adventure Zone: Balance] so much that I had to put a face to a voice (despite the fact that it’s not his face).
This is my first time editing and creating videos in four years so forgive me because I filmed it at 2am last night and then edited it together in about two hours this afternoon. Enjoy! Please share!
Here’s a link to the original audio (which also is a full transcript of the video)
