I want to do this now lol but I think I’m going to take it a step further and have that character be a lizard person, if you catch my drift…

This reminds me of the beautiful song Schmetterling by the German band „Team Scheiße“

I am a fucking butterfly Flutter, flutter, flap, flap Face into the flower Slobber, slobber, slobber, slobber My ass is flying through the air, you wanker You‘re trying to fight me? A butterfly? Are you shit in the head?

[Verse 1] What exactly don’t you understand? I’m a fucking butterfly Flutter, flutter, flap, flap Your problems are not my problems I’m a fucking butterfly Flutter, flutter, flap, flap I’ll just leave you where you are Where you’re standing right now I’m a fucking butterfly Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter

[Refrain] I am fantastic Beautiful and colorful And you can lick my ass hard I am fantastic With pollen on my mouth And you can lick my ass hard (Translated with DeepL)

Great old ones can be very friendly. I always understood them as having motivations largely beyond human understanding.

“INSTRUMENT OF MY WILL, YOU MUST SWITCH THE HEALING POTION ON THE SHELF WITH A POISON.”

Like a week later the governor’s butler gets injured, dies from poison instead of being healed, the store closes and the owner is arrested, the stock goes on clearance sending ripples through the potion economy, and the new butler influences the governor’s choices through subtle changes around the mansion.

Actual end result goal: Topiary in the mansion garden gets cut in such a way that it slowly dies, serving as a false portent to some other cult.

The rest is just setting up other potential threads that could be pulled by the old one.

“GO STARTLE THAT BIRD”

“BUY A BOQUET OF TULIPS FROM THE FLORIST”

“PET THE DOG”

Just small, subtle pushes to events, at leaat until things reach “endgame”. Shift a few pieces of reality and cause and effect here and there, as everything aligns. Not worth rushing things when you don’t necessarily experience time in a linear fashion.

I think Mothra would be a pretty dope patron. Most of the pact comes down to lighting lamps and fighting any reptiles you find.

Pleasant though they may be, still seems kinda foreboding.

Mothra ya Mothra!
