H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

The way I read the story, Cthulhu himself is positively inclined towards humanity - it says right there in the text that when he awakes he'll teach us new ways to revel and kill. We'll be his newest servitor race.

Well, the old servitor race is still asleep in R'lyeh and will eventually wake up. So we'll more likely be the "third wheel" race. Hard to accept i know, big Lulu is a "player".
