Matt: It started with a phone call weeks ago... [...] And so I called him, and we talked on the phone for like an hour and a half. I got charged way too much international because I didn't realize-- totally worth it.
Marisha: [...] If I can jump in.
Sam: Did you see the phone bill?
Marisha: Yes, I did, because it goes onto my-- my-- I'm in charge of the phone bill. And so I was like:
Marisha: "What the fuck? Why-- Why do I have a $200 charge?"
Matt: [GIGGLING]

Both the Arch Heart and the Tree of Atrophy have suggested that Predathos is not actively hostile to mortals, and people that are in favour of releasing it have taken this to mean that there will be no consequence for doing so.
Y'all realise Predathos is a cosmic horror monster, right?
Like, it is most likely an Elder Evil, which is one of D&D's categories of "Things we copied from Lovecraft," and a consistent theme of cosmic horror is that the monsters are very frequently so powerful and so vast that humanity doesn't even register to them. They are the living embodiments of an uncaring universe that can and will snuff us out in an instant, without malice or intent, because they are simply so much bigger than us.
The most powerful entity in the Cthulhu Mythos (Which TSR literally stole from in early D&D editions, Cthulhu was straight-up in early sourcebooks and they got C&D'd for it, the Far Realm-associated stuff in this game has always been rooted in Lovecraft) is Azathoth.
Azathoth is described in his final major appearance as the "blind idiot god", he's a twitching amorphous mass that sits in the chaos outside reality, constantly lulled to sleep by horrible flutes and pipes played by his servants, and if he ever woke up then all of reality would end. Not because Azathoth is malicious, because he isn't. Azathoth is completely mindless, it has no higher consciousness, it's just a writhing lump of eldritch flesh.
There are actively malicious entities in the Cthulhu Mythos, of course there are, but many of them are not that.
We've seen that even communing with Predathos can have catastrophic effects. It destroyed an Exandrian City and every Ruidian surface settlement. There's no guarantee that releasing it won't make a whole world of Molaesmyrs.
Predathos doesn't have to be malicious, it's powerful enough to end civilisation with its morning stretch.
these spot the difference games are getting crazy
Sometimes parallels are painful

You misty step right to where Laudna is.
i will go on and on forever about how amazing exu was for the exu trio narratively. "i dont want to wear the crown" "i dont want to be a vessel" is something fearne has been repeating for at least a year. months. she saw a dark version of herself all the way back when with the crown keepers and she hated it and people keep trying to force it on her. she's said it again and again and it feels like no one is listening so they can use her for their own gain.
I love Abubakar's Arch Heart sm, most of all because he'll do or say something so out there in a way that'll make me go "Ohhhh! That's where the fey get it from!"
