Full page panel: Vignetted by the circular view of the telescope, there is a clear image of the edge of a lunar crater. There, on the edge of a vast, dark sea of regolith, there seems to be a tiny crack in the side of the cliff – and a dark, black mass of tentacles extends from this crack, spread across the lunar surface like varicose veins.

Huh, well that’s not good.
We knew the Idol was loose on the moon… that must be where the moonbase used to be. Eerie to see it spread so much that it’s visible from space–but then again, the entire interior of the moon might in fact be the Idol as well. It’s woken up.
What will it do to the populace of the earth, having a huge unblinking eye or a maw full of teeth replacing the moon in the sky?
Its the Brethern Moons From Dead Space! “Brotber Moons are awake”
well that is what happens when you make a Fusion reactor go critical all it did was spread it over the surface of the moon.
It’s so sad and good.
A whole happy family, completely destroyed by something thousands of miles away. An entire potential happy timeline, snuffed out by chance, and so easily avoided, had things been different. Destruction by a force that neither knows nor cares about their tiny lives. Breaks my heart. 🙁
THANK YOU!
This is the sort of elements which make a PROPER lovecraftian horror story. And it is an element that Rebecca and her team has managed to capture. A style and a purity of profaned essence which countless authors and billions of dollars worth of hollywood funds has failed to even come CLOSE to imitating!
I remember WAY back in Concessions, when Rebecca would tease about doing a series via gifs, and possible a full cartoon, and frankly, seeing the precipice of proficiency she is on now… I would be HORRIFIED in all the best ways to see what eldritch wonders and terrible majesties she could breath to blasphemous life.
That’d be so incredible…
… Well, I’d say it’s time to burn that whole spot with fire… Oh, wait, vacuum… Um… Nuke it? Redirect this radiation that it appears to dislike? Or hey, we have someone who’s apparently sovereign to TOWC now. Still don’t entirely know what that may entail. Judging by the definition of the word though, maybe it could help.
Of course, seeing the growth on the moon hasn’t resulted in an exact, physical transformation, from what we can see at least (unless it has some ripple effect on the mass on the moon), just a change in mentality. Seeing as the first person who saw this proceeded to gut their mother, it already seems like a big deal if just astronomers and star gazers accidently happen upon that spot of the moon. If it continues to grow more visible to unaided eyes, that’s a BIG problem. Not to mention if our lone friend, who just stumbled upon this knowledge, decides to do something with it…
Nice story, can’t wait to see what comes next!
Yeah… can’t exactly HIDE that.
Public service announcement: “Don’t look up.”
Sorry, don’t you mean HIS THRONE?
Reminds me of a horror story idea. ” You wake to the sound of an emergency alarm on your phone with a message ‘DO NO LOOK AT THE MOON.’ You notice you also have dozens of texts from your contacts saying ‘ the moon looks lovely tonight.'”
Time to nuke the fuck out of the moon
“Dad I want to look at the moon”
“Don’t be silly honey, nobody has been allowed to look at the moon since 2020.”
Ok, I am starting to picture something now …
The moon reaching out with mouthed tentacles all the way to the earth, and starting to feast on life there to accelerate its growth, until the thing’s eaten the entire moon, and then the entire earth, and will reach out to eat the other plants …

I’m pretty sure the moon is *made* of the Idol. The surface of the moon is then the same as the petrified husk of the Idol after being exposed to the silver daggers.
Well looks like the idol has became a moon god/goddess that is always hungry
Sokka’s girlfriend has some explaining to do.
