Does anyone else get horribly disappointed when an "unknowable" cosmic entity in horror gets described with extremely knowable anatomy. Ah, it has segmented legs and pedipalps? Just like my lovely friend the spider. I escorted two of them out of the house today because I accidentally brought them in on flowers I cut from the garden. This comparison point does not evoke "horror" and "unknowability" in me.

Honestly, yeah, but it also feels real because I think the cosmic or supernatural presents itself to us using the limited vocabulary that our brains are currently able to perceive. So something unknowable that feels monstrous may very well come across as spiderlike or whatever because that's something we can recognize and hold true. I think if unknown entities presented themselves in their natural form it would break our minds. Or maybe they don't have a form at all but are an overwhelming feeling that our nervous systems can't codify into any particular sense. But I'm with you in that I think art should play with the line between the visible and invisible the knowable and unknowable way more. If something is unknowable then don't show it or just show me the witness's reaction because then it could be anything and that's fucking terrifying 🩷

May the rest of your year be softer, lighter, more aligned, more intentional, more peaceful.
