More proof I need help.

My intial response to this was "Hentai ship. *pause* tentacles? 83c"

Which eventually resulted in the following after some percolation through plurk:



Cthulhu/Sasuke OTP. They're rosy-cheeked and enjoying some delicious hot cocoa after ice skating.

Edit: ffff now with the actual freakin Roleplay secret link.

It's delightful and I hear Itachi's voice in my head reading this reply's content aloud

It's a completely juvenile ship.

I mean have you even looked at the section on FFN? It's full of bad high school AU fic where they're in gangs and wear eyeliner and Hot Topic shirts.

And let's not bring up all the kittenfic...

Nothing there can compare to my 47-chapter epic where Cthulhu and Sasuke are on opposing sides during the Crimean War that I swear I'll be finishing any day now. You want tragedy? That's tragedy.

lol omg

Look, just because everyone else is stupid about writing them doesn't mean the ship itself is flawed. I mean, what do Sasuke and Cthulhu even have in common? There's nothing to base a relationship on.

You know what's tragic? When being in the very presence of the one you love is enough to corrode your sanity, but you can't keep away. Holding your lover's hand for the last time before they strap him into a straitjacket. That's tragic.

So this is basically the best ship discussion I have ever read ever.

Carry on, you two~

We aim to please.

This discussion is also making me want to dig out my Lovecraft books and reread, it's been years.

If Sasuke saw the Great Old Ones that *would* explain his current batshittery in the manga... :|a

Hey man, Cthulhu wrote the book on tragic insanity and you can totally explore that aspect of the pairing if you want. Well, it was in fact Abdul Alhazred but I digress. Even the sight of him is enough to reduce anyone to gibbering dementia. I say we're even on this point.

But come on, it's obvious what they have in common. Sasuke strikes out of the village on his own for revenge, cutting his ties with his teammates. Cthulhu lies sleeping in R'lyeh until the stars are right, when he will once again rise from his watery cyclopean crypt to drive humanity mad and devour them.

See? They're both misunderstood loners.

8|a maybe Madara is actually a G.O.O. and that is why we never see his face
