Or they’re hyperdimensional beings that need all those eyes to see properly across dimensions

Yeah I suppose they would need another eye for each additional dimension they see, which still justifies the reaction in the comic

Not really, they’d just need to exist in a dimension above ours. We can readily observe the lower three dimensions of length, width and depth because we exist in the one above that - duration. We can’t observe time except by passing through it point by point. A being capable of observing actual timelines would have to do so from a vantage point above them.

The extra eyes and wings are just them being a fucking showoff.

You need one eye to see 2D. You need two eyes to see 3D. Presumably, you need 3+ eyes to see in 4D. Don’t conflate spatial dimensions with the temporal one, it’s oranges and apples.

Or it’s like with tails in asia: the more tails, the more cat/fox/….

The more wings and eyes, the more angel.

So you’re saying we see 2 dimensions? Interesting. I’m going to try to walk around a tunnel now.

“Another eye for each additional dimension”, not “an eye for each dimension”.

Eyes = dimensions - 1

(For positive numbers of eyes)

Yes you see in 2 dimensions. You can’t see in front and behind a car.

Like some sort of acid trip,
“I can see imaginary numbers!”
being somewhat like
“I can taste colors!”

Or maybe a desert villager named Ezekiel with literally zero education and world experiences who was high on drugs saw a peacock which likely escaped from a local traveling merchant cage because those animals come from a fucking jungle, and the idiot couldn’t explain what he saw and just attributed it to an angel because he and his religious buddies are all fucking stupid.

And the walls were made of a mile thick of gold, and the gates were made of diamond, and, and, and then they started eating the scrolls…

Yep, definitely happened and wasn’t the product of funny mushrooms. /s

Turns out we were the predators. They say “be not afraid” because they actually want to talk to that person, not frighten them away from a tasty meal.

What? Does this make sense or am I unwell?

Why would the angel say “be not afraid” because he wants the predator to chill out and…eat them? Are angels piloted by suicidal, parasitic organisms forcing them to be eaten in order for the predator to spread more parasites?

Cosmic Horror

Create post

A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

“cosmic horror… is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock… themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries… the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale…”
