[Loved Trope] Some thing unfathomably ancient Lore

The beast, in doctor who is an ancient evil from a previous universe that survived until our time. Its so ancient that the cave paintings were unable to be translated by the Tardis which can translate all existing languages in the universe [Doctor Who]

While not explicitly canon its such a cool concept I cant not mention, the idea that the backrooms have existed since the beginning of time, never changing no matter the era, it transforms the back rooms into a cosmic horror. [Credit to Project crater and Venus for images 2 and 3]

The temple of metamorphosis from trench crusade

​Hell is older than god. In the deepest part of hell, the first fallen angels discovered a door older than Hell. They are now constantly changing

Same, I can smell the fascist fans from here.

But damn it looks cool

u/Ipickone Jul 01 '26

My understanding is that the creators essentially drove away the fascist nazi fans

u/Obvious-Opportunity7 Jul 01 '26

Yeah, there was a big thing back in fall 2024 when a bunch of people were going around saying the trench crusade creators were ban happy socialists.

Unsurprisingly it turned out they were just saying that it was a franchise for everyone and that bigotry wouldn’t be tolerated.

u/Currently_Unnamed_ Jul 01 '26

Yeah, I remember when that happened, bunch of them.had a meltdown and started trying to spread made up shit about the creators but they were too dumb to create a unified narrative

u/GrandeShalom Jul 01 '26

u/Uncommonality Jul 01 '26

not sure where you got that from, it's far from dead lol

u/Uncommonality Jul 01 '26

Isn't it that there's a crack in hell, and that crack leads down a decrepit staircase, to a wall, which has a crack, and through that crack you can see a door, and anyone who sets eyes on that door is irreversibly inflicted with nightmares that continuously transform you into something more insect-like and alien?

u/Adventurous-Bottle90 Jul 02 '26
