To be fair, i think if you asked Cthulu nicely, he would end the world and drive your enemies to madness for you.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Yea, you have stupid powers. Cthulu has cool powers

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 7 points 9 hours ago

There was a qfig made of this.

Wouldn’t he go insane being that close to Cthulhu and looking at it?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You only go insane becsuse you can't comprehend an alien. I don't think anyone in modern times would be affected unless they were as hyper-racist as Lovecraft was.

You don’t think telepathically mind-fucking Cthulhu would drive fish boy insane?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

It might drive Cthulhu insane. We don't know what Aquaman's mind is like. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm more surprised we don't. Has a psychic never mind-dived Aquaman? Martian Manhunter hasn't Head-Handed him? That's how J'onn says hello!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 10 hours ago

All the other super heroes think of Aquaman like most real people and havent had much interest in learning more about him. Well, except Batman. Who still can't read his mind, but can psycho analyze him well enough to devise a plan to stop him if he goes evil.

You're assuming that a man who spends all day talking with fish is sane in the first place.

Just go to a fish breeder convention. Find the sanity there.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Do they fuck the fish or do they get fucked by the fish?

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both.

Sometimes multiple, but cephalopods are getting harder to book.

The pages get soggy.

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago

He did. You are seeing the delusion.

According to Wikipedia, this ability is

Telepathic control of all aquatic life

Does this actually count? What constitutes a creature as "aquatic"? When I swim at the beach, am I considered "aquatic life" until I leave the water again?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

All of 'em. Even microbial life. IIRC, he once killed a dude by telling seamonkies or something to explode a MFer.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

It depends if you're a hydrohomie or not.

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

actually, since all life descended from the ocean, Aquaman does have some slight mental influence on humans.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 5 points 11 hours ago

Has this line of thinking ever been explored in the comics or anything? This all seems like something that I would expect the creators to have addressed, but I just don't know anything about this character.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

My immediate thought would be anything that requires being in water for some length of time to live.

I'm not sure where amphibians would fall though.

[–] porksnort@slrpnk.net 1 points 21 minutes ago

No one knows what to do with amphibians, in a way it is similar to dealing with bisexuals
