Best we leave them alone. I watched the Magicians, I know the whales are busy maintaining the sigils that the old gods used to lock away the krackens.

Do you want krakens? This is how we get krackens,

Yes. In fact, I have spent a long portion of my life starting my morning with demands of the release of the kraken.

We're not learning the lesson fast enough. The kraken will either be another step in our downfall, or we can start feeding people to them until things get better.

My worry is that the wrong people would be fed to the kraken. That is to say, the people who made the current mess and keep it making it worse will not be consumed

The kraken works in mysterious ways. We must trust in their decisions.

I'm actually not so against krakens at this point

as someone living in a city where even the closest proper river is a couple km away, i'd sure like to see the krakens try to threaten me.

These aren't cutesy Clash of the Titan's krackens, these are "shatter the world as they hatch from it" krackens.

oh apocalypse is it? how original, they've got some hundred odd years if they want to beat us to the punch.

Does a male's eye look substantially different?

Less eyeliner.

So... big mommy humpback whale god?

She can't step on me :(

Paul Watson will send stinky bombs in your bed.

I wonder if that's where the mass effect devs got the inspiration for the mass relay design

I'm here to report that divine punishment did get served, albeit god has a cruel sense of humor, so that specific whales jaw got sheared off by a speeding ferry, causing it to drown after hours of vocal, agonizing pain
