I think going insane IS the failsafe
people who come out on the other side can be... unsettling
how can you ignore the existence of Old Gods that can at any moment wake up and decimate the world? Or total cosmic horror?
Hurr not that impressive
but all these stories are about people explicitly being confronted by something that they can't even comprehend
if Cthulhu comes out of the ocean right in front of you you can't just "ignore it"
that's the point
>arguing Lovecraft with someone who has never read a book in his life
<:alithink:327930371796893698>
a lot of his stories have long passages of people trying to ignore or deal with the weird shit around them until it becomes too much
and I do think if you were confronted with a cosmic horror you wouldn't walk out the other end "dealing with it"
people can't deal with things that aren't cosmic horror
rape, assault etc
people get broken by something as simple as the end of a relationship
much less somehting from the depths of space emerging at you
but
in the fantasy world they do
I guarantee if something horrific makes itself known to the earth tomorrow morning people aren't just going to cope with that
I don't think that's them going insane. I think that's literally something so powerful and cryptic that it burns your eyes out to look at.

in Lovecraft people go insane typically
Like, I always thought the Lovecraftian gods always *generated* insanity rather than being greeted with it.
But I haven't ever really read Lovecraft so I could be wrong
Nah, he never really describes something like Cthulhu, he's cryptic because he wants it to be something unimaginably horrific
which no one can really illustrate
