I never thought of it before, but, how exactly the Outer gods would see us? Are we repelling for them? Was Cthulhu actually trying to get rid of pests infesting his house?
I mean Yog-Sothoth doesn’t exactly count as a god, it is actually far beyond that, more like the multiverse in one being (like Eternity from Marvel). Regarding the deep one, they are basically horny fishmen not too far beyond human. What i’m talking about is, how the Outer Gods actually see us?
I agree. OP in the post mention Yog-Sothoth and the deep one, i think because in the lore there are episodes where they interbreed with humans, but this is not the only case when some eldritch entity show actual interest in humans. In the first place Cthulhu want to use human and contact them in their dreams, so at very least there are some cases where outer gods may have use for humans, even if only for the reason to be in the right place (dimension) at the right time.
