"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

overly nice sure, but if they're just trying their best it's fine
like, they gotta recognize that they're horrors. clearly a lot of them are capable of writing and such, so how about instead of writing GETOUTGETOUTGETOUTGETOUT and fucking with the furniture, they instead write something like "hey, i get that you meant no harm by moving in, but i've been living here for the past 200 years so you're kinda intruding on personal property here. I get that the housing market sucks, so you can stay in the kitchen and bathroom while you find a new place, and you can go ahead and sell the stuff in the attic to speed things up. Feel free to use the yard for storage as well provided you keep the property and prevent others from moving in."
