Let's talk about weird mythological monsters

[Tadao]

my⋅thol⋅o⋅gy

Pronunciation [mi-thol-uh-jee] –noun, plural -gies.

1. a body of myths, as that of a particular people or that relating to a particular person: Greek mythology.

2. myths collectively.

3. the science or study of myths.

4. a set of stories, traditions, or beliefs associated with a particular group or the history of an event, arising naturally or deliberately fostered: the Fascist mythology of the interwar years.

[Tadao]

I say again. If Greeks can have Mythology based on books from Homer, then we can have American Mythology based off books from Lovecraft.

I mostly think of Yog-sotthoth

lovecraft's shit is Mythopoeia, not myth myths generally have a group of people who believe them to be true associated with them, and "retards on the internet" don't count as such a group

[Tadao]

I know it's hard to believe, but it isn't just the netards that believe.

"IT'S A MYTH. MYTH!"

"Yeth?"

Actually, belief is the only thing that makes something a myth.
