I read Fat Face by Michael Shea last month and it was. Fine? It was a Cthulhu Mythos story written in the 80s, it was very edgy and it had a lot of tropes I’m not a fan of, I don’t really recommend it, but I have to talk about one detail I have not stopped thinking about since I read it.

So. I knew Fat Face through reputation because it was the story that inspired Shoggoth Lords from the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, shoggoths that can control their cellular makeup to look like humans. And the twist in Fat Face is that shoggoths have been hiding amongst humans in Los Angeles, and at the end of the story one of them eats the protagonist.

The tone of the story is grit. It’s grime. It’s sleaze and sexual violence and drug abuse on top of cosmic horror. It wants to be taken seriously so bad.

But here’s the thing about the shoggoths: they have a business.

They have two businesses they run out of an office building in downtown Los Angeles. A shoggoth is a primordial blob of eyes and mouths and flesh and hunger, and the idea of one of them at the LA Office of Finance registering an LLC is already. Great. Perfect. No notes.

The business is a front — and again, that’s great, a shoggoth went, “I want to do some nefarious deeds and not get caught by humans; I know, I’ll register a fake business that’ll be a front, and no human will ever suspect” — because the actual interior of this office is a room of pools of water made from black and ancient Antarctic rocks so that shoggoths can relax in their original blobby forms and eat stray animals that they’ve caught.

So it’s basically just. A place for shoggoths to unwind after a long day of pretending to be human. It’s portrayed as cosmic horror, but it’s shoggoth Cheers. Sometimes you wanna go where nobody knows your shape.

Here’s the kicker. The front of the business is a hydrotherapy clinic and stray pet rescue.

When they decided to make a front for their secret lair in an LA office building where they hang out in pools of water and eat stray animals — the front they prominently display and advertise — they decided to go with a hydrotherapy clinic and stray pet rescue.

That is Goosebumps shit. The rest of the story reads like a tone poem about the sleaze and violence of Los Angeles, and the main twist of the story reads like R.L. Stine.

But that’s not even the detail I can’t stop thinking about. Because the story reveals that this business — which again, is a front made by alien blobs to eat stray animals like an ALF-themed buffet and hang out in jacuzzi tubs of Antarctic rocks in an LA office — has a flyer.

Which means there’s a shoggoth with a passion for graphic design

#lovecraft #shoggoth #horror #and this isn’t me demanding realism in my cthulhu mythos #but i think it proves that at a certain point grim and gritty storytelling becomes absurdist comedy #the rest of the story is a gritty crime drama about being a sex worker who breasts boobily under the pitiless california sun #and the twist which is supposed to be cosmic horror elevates it into zany cartoonishness

Reading older comics like I love this, this is so dumb 😭 and reading modern comics like I hate this, this is so dumb 😒.

#golden/silver age comics are ridiculous/zany/fun #you read it through the lens of like cartoon logic #but that same feeling doesn't apply to modern comics (although waid managed to bring it in during his dick/kara date issue) #so everything in modern comics that is bad is just bad alskdja and doesn't have that cartoon logic excuse #do you know what i mean alskdja

Once in a while, I like putting these horns on a different toque, or in a different position, to see how it looks.

My fic writing process

Me: Here is an interesting idea, extrapolating the story's inherent, underutilized worldbuilding and not only acting upon it, but expanding it and making it my own to explore themes and characters I enjoy. Also Me: Ok but also this would be Hilarious

#im not kidding #my major motivation for stories is either: wow I have deep thoughts on this idea and need to put it to paper #or giggling over stupid scenarios #started my lockwood fic and its either deep discussion on PTSD life/death and the trials of child soldier found families #but also Zany As Fuck shenanigans #Holly and Skull are going to have the most lovingly antagonistic relationship #He gets under her skin the way no one else can #Lucy needs to hide Skull at least twice a week because Holly has had Enough and has a Big Hammer #its what she deserves

Instagram ask doodle— someone requested Lola as Barbie!

I think of the deleted exchange she had with lebron in SJ2, where she says “Looney is who [Bugs] is and what he does. I’m not like that.” and I mourn the executive meddling. It was supposed to be satirical, critical and maybe even a lil more cynical and all Looney… but too many mandated rewrites left a sour taste in my mouth, especially when it comes to Lola. She doesn’t really have a place in the world of LT outside of being Bugs’ arm candy and “Basketball”…..Sj2 coulda had that conversation. poor gal

#cel speaks #cels doodles #looney tunes #lola bunny #barbie #barbie movie #of course Lola shined in TLTS and i love her character there for it but again many people drew comparisons of her to daffy #like in order for Bugs to actually like her/ for her to be funny she had to be zany and one track minded and unpredictable. Kinda like…. #yeah #so now seeing WB use her for bugs bunny builders she’s still the least ‘looney’. she’s a straighter man than porky #who i feel is THE PERFECT silly yet straight man for LT so the poor gal ain’t even reaching the bar #Even petunia is calmer than porky and she still manages to go insane lengths to get what she wants #Lola is so unfit for this world and I don’t really know what to do with her….
