This was such an interesting concept, both just the base idea of getting to be a curious eldritch being gently poking at this human we’re not understanding, and then the whole mystery of why he did survive. I got genuinely invested in this little anomaly
An Eldritch listener? AN ELDRITCH LISTENER?! Have my prayers been heard?! Is this really happening right now?! I’m so excited for this, I’m OBSESSED with Eldritch monsters! Thank you Ed!!😫🙏
I imagined our Speaker’s glimpse of the Listener’s true self with oddly vivid imagery. “The black void reveals itself as a living mass, coils of muscle meshed into walls both close and yet infinitely open, just as the concept of darkness is, yet made flesh, and even as the Anomaly finds himself in the bowels of that which he cannot comprehend he can somehow see, at the same time, its mass at a distance, spreading over his world’s expanse like an astral amoeba. Through all this the lone witness to these sights feels innumerable eyes of Host. Scrutinizing from all angles and studying him with mounting interest.”
Eldritch listener? WE ARE THE CHOSEN ONES! YAHHHHHHH! APD APPROVED Fun fact: The three dots on the Domino's logo represent the chain's three original locations. Co-founder Tom Monaghan originally planned to add a new dot for every pizzeria he opened. Until we meet again
This is a weirdly cozy chat for a Devourer of Realities, Eater of Worlds & an Anomolous smol being it tried to swallow up to be having. I love it. The vibes are somehow...Light, yet absolutely horrifying at the same time (yeah, uh, reality is gone there is Nothing but Nothing and the Thing that Caused the Nothing...forever...."my bad, human?") Well done :]
I (like many other people in these comments) am a huge fan of Eldritch creatures. As a writer, I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of using them as a subject since a huge part is that they are incomprehensible. I love what you did here with that, as well as flipping it in a way with how we as the creature are also striving to understand Eric.
Part 2 please And I love how we didn't know what a brownie was or a sprinkle and I also really love the audio because I've been trying to look for one of these were the listener is a you know but yeah keep up the good work and can you please make more of this listener even if it's not the same as au.
Him: My names Eric? Me, an ageless and timeless terrible entity: D0 Y0U SP3lL Th1Z WIfH A "C" OR A "K", m0Rt4L?¿ I love how this listener is just like "I ate your universe, not sorry, also you gave me indigestion." 🤣 Awww, poor Eric 3: Buddy, we all make mistakes. That doesn't mean WE'RE a mistake. I hope they find him a good home 💜
I had to google what an eldrich is but I loved this! ❤❤Sounds like he got caught in our throat 😂😂. I wonder where we will put him? He’s special indeed.
Oh come now, another human enters my life... And this time he's in my bedroom... As if I didn't have enough trouble with getting a good nights sleep with that lustful little man running around... Please... Just let this old cat rest...
Damn, I'm less than a third into this and I wanna explain what happened to the best of my ability But if I'm interpreting it correctly, what happened is kinda like me watching something downloaded to a device, when suddenly the file gets nuked off said device save for like a small fistful of pixels from a single frame of the video? Or rather, if I were watching something on a streaming platform, but they delete that show from it and somehow a single frame of the show somehow by the grace of the knowable and unknowable survives in a sense, dropped directly into my front room?
