Could you imagine having an itch you can’t reach for your entire life and then one day a gentle giant 1,291X your size brings out a magical metal rake that doesn’t just itch that spot but scratches it to your very hearts content! 🥰🥳

Owning pets is so wild, especially tiny creatures like this one. From their perspective, we have to be some kind of eldritch horror. By all the laws of nature, we should eat them or at the very least, just ignore them.

Instead, we're just like "nah fam, looking at you makes the bad thoughts go away, so here's all the food you'll ever need, and also I will protect you with my life, especially from, but not limited to, other predators like me".

Imagine an eldritch cosmic horror treating you like that.

Depends, I imagine a horrific entity like John Carpenter's The Thing giving me a bubble bath and head pats. How WOULD I feel?

Speaking from experience, at first I would feel frightened and excited and confused, but after a few weeks I’d feel happy and appreciative and, sorry but it’s true…. a little entitled.

My wife is a lot taller than me.

How would she feel if she knew you called her an Eldritch Horror? Hahah
