Coming up with stuff from the realm of chaos is actually quite relaxing – you don’t have to sweat coherency or logic that much.
It might not make a whole lot of difference concerning the result, naturally, since the stuff I come up with always lacks coherency or logic. But in this case, it’s from simply not trying – unlike the more common case, where it’s from trying but failing. A side benefit being that I don’t mind it so much when I haven’t even tried.
So, yeah…a demonic entity of chaos (and DOOOM!) is watching the proceedings, and as you would expect*, it has an overabundance of eyes. I mean, what’s the point of being relieved from the shackles of reasonable anatomy if you don’t employ that freedom to give your superdimensional watcher/observer more than two eyes? Aside from too many eyes, the creature doesn’t have a lot. Just a vague connection to Humpty-Dumpty. As has been pointed out, the poem doesn’t actually explicitly state that the creature called ‘Humpty-Dumpty’ is an egg – so couldn’t it just as well be a Minor Great Old One with too many eyes?** If I was faced with that choice, I’d sure prefer to be a Minor Great Old One with too many eyesto being an egg. Especially an egg that can’t be put back together again.
I think I should stop writing, since I stopped making any sense quite a while ago. But that fits the subject, so I’ll blame chaos! Or Monday. Monday is also a good explanation.
More on Thursday.
* But should not be able to expect in the case that this was real chaos…
** Or could it have been…ancient astronauts?
Ah but remember, glue can be made from hooves. So the way in which the king’s horses were involved in trying to put Humpty-Dumpty back together may not have been “active” participation.
Hey, that’s true! And that basically proves that Humpty-Dumpty wasn’t an egg – for if he had been one, all of the king’s men could clearly have put him back together again by turning all of the king’s horses into glue. In fact, one would probably have sufficed. Just more strong evidence that that seemingly harmless children’s rhyme was actually about a Lovecraftian horror with multiple eyes. O_O
It’s always ancient astronauts
Well, at least it’s never possible to definitely prove that it weren’t ancient astronauts, and that’s enough to sell a book or two. XD
