Lovecraft had no idea when he wrote that he would start a strange cultus that would span the globe, uniting nerds and geeks everywhere with a subgenre of weird tales and spawning such wonderful things as handmade Necronomicons and now amigurumi Cthulhus!
My friend Rachel sent this wonderful link to me. In the dozen or so years since I first huddled around a table with friends, cheesy poofs and mountain dew, I’ve discovered the tentacles of the Great Old One reach far beyond the extent one would expect of a small company called Chaosium. Whether it’s horrific resin and bronze sculptures or cute and cuddly baby toys, Cthulhu is rising everywhere. Ia, fthagn!
Aww! How cute!
