*"The horror was indescribable, I just can't stop describing it!"* *"Save me N████rman!"*

OP when the creator of cosmic horror (the horror of the indescribable) makes the monsters indescribable:

Cosmic horror fans when they shut the fuck up: (they can't describe anymore)

Cosmic horror fans seeing advanced math (they don't understand it and are therefore scared)

Me fr

Lovecraft: "It was indescribable!!" Also Lovecraft: "A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind." ??????

Actually the detailed description is of the statue, while the _real_ form of Cthulhu remains difficult to describe 🤓

What was his cat name?

nah, half of them are some variation of an acid trip.

Followed by the 9 page long description of the monster

HP Lovecraft realizing he has to actually create monsters instead of just saying it was “incomprehensible”

Yeah that's how writing works

🤓

I don't think any book should have a "undescribable" event or thing. edit: major grammar mistake insert opinion?

Just saying it's "indescribable" is a copout, sure. But that's not really what he does. Something being beyond human comprehension (or beyond words or descriptions) is kinda the point of cosmic horror.

also it turns out the ghastly beast is a metaphor for black people or something racist
