    Chris differentiates between when the Shoggoth is "cloaking" himself - trying to mask the sanity-shredding aspects of himself - and when he doesn't. He also maintains that people can be trained to interact with Lovecraftian beings without going insane. The Shoggoth is training the population of Lemuria in that fashion so they could retain their wits to repel an elder race assault on the Parodyverse.


I didn't cover it in detail, but it's possible Liu Xi was trained during her brief time with the Shoggoth and Ebony. Another factor might be that when she was found by the duo, she had lost all hope and didn't really care if she lived or died. Ironically, that kind of feeling kind of closes the mind to everything around it.

    I don't think I ever saw it but I get the analogy.


It's a good movie to illustrate it. A man who was used to living in a fast paced, high tech world, then was stranded on a desert island, and when he returned home he was suddenly overwhelmed by it all.

      Quote:
      It's something I came up with based on the law of conservation of energy - that the universe has all the energy it needs, etc. I extended that to believe if there are multiple universes, each one would try hard to hang on to its own energy - meaning Lara would have to leave every universe almost entirely drained. She recharges quickly, but it weakens her quite a bit to expend that much at once.



    Quote:
    By that analogy the elder beings essence is surplus to any universe's balance and every universe would be trying to spit it out.


That may be what makes the blasphemous. It's just that the elder beings are resistant to being spit out.



    Quote:
    She'd need to purge the concepts from her mind too. The elder beings have that psionic and conceptual infection too.


She's not particularly absorbent of psionic or conceptual stuff though, just raw energy. I'm sure her brain would have to do some resolving of that stuff though, which might make her more than a little emotional or unstable for a while.

Come to think of it, Liu Xi is like that normally, so she might still be dealing with shoggoth concepts in her mind.
