    Best we leave them alone. I watched the Magicians, I know the whales are busy maintaining the sigils that the old gods used to lock away the krackens.

    Do you want krakens? This is how we get krackens,

      Yes. In fact, I have spent a long portion of my life starting my morning with demands of the release of the kraken.

      We’re not learning the lesson fast enough. The kraken will either be another step in our downfall, or we can start feeding people to them until things get better.

        My worry is that the wrong people would be fed to the kraken. That is to say, the people who made the current mess and keep it making it worse will not be consumed

      as someone living in a city where even the closest proper river is a couple km away, i’d sure like to see the krakens try to threaten me.

      Well one it looks very cool (magical perhaps even) and as humans we aren’t really made for swimming with whales, so it can feel like a sin to see such beauty when you were never really meant to see it

      something so stupidly gigantic having eyes that look soulful and intelligent is rather uncomfortable to most people, it’s a pretty common trope for that reason

    I wonder if that’s where the mass effect devs got the inspiration for the mass relay design
