Midnight Pals: Manly Cthulhu (Patreon)

Lovecraft: hey everyone, just so you know
Lovecraft: Cthulhu isn't a she but a he
He'd feel deeply enraged if anyone regarded him as sissified!
Poe:
King:
Koontz:
Barker:
Barker: ok sure don't misgender cthulhu
Poe: clive
Barker: important safety tip, got it

Lovecraft: i'm just saying, cthulhu is clearly a guy
Lovecraft: he's always going around and doing supremely manly things
Barker: like getting hit by boats?
Lovecraft: yes exactly
Lovecraft: that's super manly
Lovecraft: 2 Gun Bob will back me up
Robert E Howard: that's just plumb macho, pardna

Lovecraft: i think there might be some confusion about cthulhu's gender
Lovecraft: because, you know, he's an incomprehensible squid god beyond human ken
Lovecraft: so looking at his hectocotylus would instantly drive you insane

Lovecraft: cthulu is really the peak of masculinity if you think about it
Barker: oh yeah? how do you figure that?
Barker: how do you define peak manliness howard
Lovecraft: oh well that's obvious
Lovecraft: peak male performance is a reedy academic given to fainting

William Hope Hodgson: are you tired of bullies kicking sand in your face?
Hodgson: take my new course on achieving peak manliness and, in just 5 weeks, I'll make you into the reedy anemic academic that everyone will respect for their mind
Hodgson:
Hodgson: no sorry this isn't working

Poe: howard is there some reason that you felt you needed to clarify this
Lovecraft: i just feel like there's been a lot of sus pictures on deviantart lately

Lovecraft: also, i feel like people are starting to make a lot of assumptions ever since steve revealed that it is a she
Poe: it is a she?
King: yup that's right
King: it is a she
Poe:
Poe: well that's a bit confusing
Poe: but for you, steve, i'll make the effort
