Immediately thought of the vamp kids from South Park…
That being said, they completely miss the point.
Lovecraft was one of the few authors that got the utterly incomprehensible aspect of it right. If higher dimensional beings interacted with a human it would completely break our minds and leave as a complete mess.
It’s not just that the human isn’t the main character, it’s a small stone that’s never mentioned or shown, that gets stepped on 27% of the way through a story and has absolutely zero effect on anything.
Nothing about us would matter and if the higher dimensional being did pay attention to us, it would be like us skipping a stone across a pond. A peaceful mindless thing a human would do to kill time without a single thought that the stone was even alive let alone what it would think about the act, or during it.
You are the stones that Merry and Pippin thew into the Sirannon that were minding their business, not a soul in sight, and then splash you’re at the bottom of a river that got dammed up. Never to be seen again, nobody caring about you at all.
One day everything you knew and we’re got completely upended by something that didn’t give you a second thought, and now you’re just supposed to deal with it.
