"Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity: the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth." Almost every kid remembers the first time they heard about the conception of the most powerful Outer God, Azathoth. So dreamy! Everyone was totally into the Blind Idiot God - and here are five reasons why.
1. Sometimes, we all want to forget about the world.
When we hit rough times, a lot of people just want to curl up in bed, Netflix their favorite show, and forget about the stressful life the world hands to them. Azathoth perfectly encapsulates that feeling; if he stopped thinking, all of existence will end! Knowing that our existence is just a dream to the immortal god Azathoth, especially since he is unaware of our existence, and awaking him from his slumber will cause the utter annihilation of existence, just makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I wish I could have HIS dreams!
2. We love being in the dark.
Nothing ends a long day at school or work then being in your home, lights turned off, and browsing through Facebook (or taking a well-deserved nap!). But Azathoth living at the center of the universe, surrounded by chaos, in the pure absence of light? We all wish we could sleep an eternal slumber, surrounded by infinite darkness. Ugh, so jealous!
3. We are huge fans of music.
Everyone has that one band they can't get enough of, or that one song that we can't get out of head. Just groovin' to our fav tunes in the bedroom (make sure no one's looking though!), no matter how old you are, you've done that at one point in your life. This makes Azathoth's servants, forever playing discordant drums and flutes in an attempt to keep him in an eternal slumber so that his awakening does not end the universe, all the more appealing. Don't you wish you had a personal band, following you around, trying to keep you asleep? Uh, sign me up please!
4. We daydream too much.
Staring at the cubicle walls; drifting off to sleep studying the dust on the chalkboard; at least once a day, there comes a time where we just can't focus on what's going on. Azathoth's near eternal slumber, combined with his lack of senses or awareness of existence, is just sooooo relatable. I mean, who doesn't sometimes forget about their surroundings and doze off, dreaming about a little universe of their own? What can't this guy do?
5. We get called "Blind Idiot God" all the time.
Whenever you do something especially dumb (and trust me, we always do), there always is that one guy that calls you "Blind Idiot God, the Inconceivable." Yeah, like we haven't heard that before... Luckily, there's one guy we can always turn to when that happens: our pal Azathoth! More people know him as "Blind Idiot God" than his real name! How relatable is that?
