It existed far before humanity, was summon by humans who thought they could use it and controll it. Its mind and body altering. invisible and (somewhat) impossible to grasp fully.
It also glows a pretty blue color to attract new victims.
It still trips me out that visible light, infrared, microwave radiation, radio waves, x-rays, ultraviolet, and even laser beams are all just photons.
Particle radiation is a whole other can of worms. It boggles the mind.
It’s reminiscent of Lovecraftian monsters but it isn’t “literally” one. That word is so fucking overused.
oddly enough, Lovecraft’s Colour out of Space kinda mirrors the effects of radiation sickness (with “kinda” doing some very heavy lifting there)
Disappears after some time: ✅ Mutates people and plants: ✅ Makes an entire area unlivable: ✅
Has a strange colour: ✅
Needs more tentacles.
Cthulhu enters the chat
thought they could use it? Tell that to the halfnium rods I pulled out of your god.
god is into some real freaky shit. anyone tell him that we make silicone glow in the dark dildos?
Literal? Which book is it from?
If you want to be semantic Lovecraftian isn’t a term that means “things from Lovecraft’s books” it’s a term referring to a style or tone.
Radiation is too broad of a term, it’s more than something that kills you.
Basking in the sun doesn’t sound too related to cosmic horror. Or seeing.
And we also know how to manipulate radiation. Its called a stove. Or a heater. Or a light bulb.
