    The sun is billions of years old, unimaginably powerful, and it makes life on Earth possible. Sounds pretty godlike to me.

      From a Tumblr post that has been reposted a few times (in fact, my link is to the earliest repost I could find, as I think the original is long gone):

      The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-

      • Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
      • Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
      • Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
      • Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
      • Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
      • People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
      • Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes

      And it’s constantly screaming at us.

        Not great, sure, but I’d trade a few hearts to keep the sun around. And yes, if it meant me too that’d be fine.

          I’d sacrifice a few people to appease the sun during summer if it meant less heat.
          Unfortunately humanity is angering another deity: Earth. The sun does not care about our pollution, but Earth is vengeful.

      That’s basically the reason I have a massive sun tattoo taking up my entire right shoulder
