If there are otherworldly monsters in you setting, what happens when they fall in love with a human, Veeky Forums...

...

They're mentally ill>>

All people with mental problems.
>geniuses who fell in love with abstract shit like advanced mathematics, music, art and design don't exist
I think he was speaking of romantic love

People who love their families are people with mental problems? Seriously, user?

Mental illness is defined by something in the brain that causes the inability to function. Having a differing thought pattern isn't necessarily an illness. Having people who think differently is important to the evolution of humanity.

Not that you would know, you illiterate chimp.

>Mental illness is defined by something in the brain that causes the inability to function.
The last time I checked, schizophrenia was considered a mental illness

...And, you know, that's something in the brain that causes an inability to function.

>schizophrenia doesn't seriously impair someone's ability to function

Anyways, homosexuals, people with a strong love of family or nation, or sailors who love their ship aren't mentally ill.

Having radical politicial beliefs or thoughts of paranoia are, however. Maybe you should check in at your nearest mental health clinic, /pol/fag.

ask me how I know you have autism

Depends on which otherworld we're talking about.
Servant races (angels, demons etc) from the divine realms? No biggie, they're pretty much just god-created humans with extra bits anyway.
Netherworld demons? They're just netherworld's human-equivalent. Things might get a bit messy but will probably work out eventually. Cultural issues, incompatible magic and such.
People from outer fragments or deep nether worlds? Again basically humans, might even have common ancestors.
Deep nether denizens that do not hail from a world, but the nether itself? Your world is fucked. These guys are defined by them devouring the very concept of life itself, therefore their 'love' probably just means you and the world you're in look tasty.
Things from beyond the nether seas? Just having one pay attention to you would be bad enough. Love would probably involve your entire world getting reshaped into something that thing mistakenly believes would better suit you. In short, everyone's fucked.

and who's to say this otherworldly monster is not also mentally ill?

Who's to say we all aren't mentally ill and just haven't realized it yet?

...

Spirits technically have the same kind of souls as mortals, so while they're often insane from a mortal perspective or at least have weird priorities, they usually understand basic stuff like broadly what emotions are supposed to look like and why humans don't want to die, so things only rarely go totally horrifically.

The aliens are basically brain-dandruff from a dying god that floats in space. They would also work like mind flayers, but would absorb the info and fry the brain instead of eat it. The alien would then return to the god with the information. The god would experience the info he was given.
So... technically alien love would lead to a dying god falling in love with everyone who's brains were fried.

And here's where the limitations of the English language come into play. Putting it into Ancient Greek terms, the above describe agapè or filia (with the exception of waifufags, I'm not even sure where to place them. They idealize erotic love, but it's certainly more than just physical attraction for obvious reasons).

That's basically Song of Saya

...

Because he's right? Hell, I'm a romantic, personally, and even I can still acknowledge the biochemical truth of the matter. When love kicks in, however, the truth doesn't matter anymore. Emotions trump logic.

To my demise.

Are you implying that mental illness doesn't go hand-in-hand with eldritch monstrosities from beyond the stars?

How often does a porno character get waifu'd so hard she relaunches as a general audience slice of life

Not often enough, I'd say.

That's kind of how we defeated the world-threat cthulu type entity. Devotees began a ritual which allowed it to coalesce and couldn't be stopped once started. One of the party without telling us though, changed the nature of the ritual a ways through into a wedding, to marry himself to it since the process was inevitable. The entity vaguely had to conform to the demands of the ritual, so became his happy and loving bride in a sense but certainly not appearance.

So he basically sacrificed himself because after that his "bride" drew him away to her realm to live happily ever after by her perception, and lavish him with affection. A pretty ghastly fate for him and it only served to kick the can down the road in terms of the world ending, because with him the entity started spawning children, and being half-material planar would be able to emerge without assistance into the world. The assumption was that some unknown amount of time, maybe centuries or millenia, eventually the domain of the entity would fill to the brim with children and burst at the seams, letting an army of nightmare monsters into the world.

She'll save state you. She'll disassemble and hack and replay the continuum of your existence because she wants to know what each instance of you would do in any situation. Because you appealed to something that could mine you for all your content and values your ecstasy and despair the same.

It vastly varies depending on the couple in question.
Most resistance usually comes from people living in the woodlands, far away from the magically radioactive desert, the ground zero of which teems with formerly human creatures that would make HP Lovecraft swim across the ocean to keep away from them.
Overall, the few eldritch creatures that do exist hold two forms, one for combat and one for interaction.
The combat form usually echoes their true form, while the interaction form has limited shapeshifting and usually looks like an otherworldly or slightly uncanny version of their closest race.
An eldritch in a dwarven mountainhome might have large, glowing yellow eyes and seaweed-like braided beard, for example, and one based around Junkers would look like Anubis through a negative filter. All of this is to make interaction less of a chore for the eldritch and less of a night terror for the normals.
Of course, most of that goes out the window with Shiners and the Twisted, afforementioned radiation dwellers who never look like each other even when ostensibly identical twins, and usually around these, the eldritch use their true forms because the Shiners and the Twisted have seen worse.
As for alien affection, most are aware enough that their love is not local love, and mostly just monitor other couples to get a feel for what is acceptable.
Those that don't usually end up trying to be helpful and going full Junji Ito in the process.
Want a squid dish? Your boyfriend cuts his tentacle hair to provide for you.
The cattle got out of their pen again? Your girl turns into a giant ox made of starlight and familiarity to lead the cattle back to the pen.
Drunkenly mention some candy which has ceased production? When you wake up, your wellies are covered in mud and eyes and there's a large factory box of the discontinued candy on the stovetop.

Keep crying.

>radical beliefs are a mental illness
Every belief was radical when it started.

As much as this is a stupid fetish thread, this actually brings to mind something going on in a current campaign, where a player has waifu'd what amounts to an eldritch horror.

The creature he's formed a relationship with is a Doppleganger. Now, in this setting, Doppleganger are fey like creatures who lack that essential spark of life and individuality to be creative. They're fundamentally lacking that "thing" that lets them create or be original. Thus, Dopplegangers can only copy what they observe, and as a result they tend to be OBSESSED with humans, who are completely unique. This obsession can range from psychopathic hatred to yandere love.

Physically, they are in complete and constant control of their bodies down to the cellular level. They are essentially, 'It', though without the power of infection or division. This means they also don't experience truly reflexive or uncontrolled responses, like emotions. Instead, a Doppleganger will observe a stimulus, realize that a certain reaction is the proper response, and react accordingly (based on what they know). Thus, a very old and well learned doppleganger can pass effortlessly as a human, whereas a young or unlearned one will seem awkward and autistic. This doesn't mean their feelings aren't 'real', they're composed of the same chemical response as a human, but they're entirely intentional. Ex. Sad thing happens, a human experiences sad thing, becomes sad. Sad thing happens, doppleganger experiences sad thing, realizes "I should be sad", becomes sad. It's a subtle but somewhat horrifying distinction

The particular Doppelganger in question is obsessed with humanity as a fan, she/it loves them and is fascinated by their ability to create. Moreover she/it is fascinated by the players character. The character themselves is actually something of a milquetoast individual. It's this mundanity that fascinates her/it though, as she see's the PC as all that is quintessentially human - both banal and yet utterly unique.

Now, the players aren't stupid - they've taken precautions. This particular Doppleganger is their ally, and is moreover bound by powerful magical geas which prevents them from harming or allowing to be harmed humans (essentially enforcing Asimovs laws on it). The player in question who waifu'd it is kind of a sad neck beard and I didn't want to crush his hopes and dreams, so when he indicated an interest in her/it, she/it returned the sentiment enthusiastically. *VERY* enthusiastically. Enthusiasm that would be terrifying if this player had the sense to be terrified (which he does not, to my consternation)

To date, the Doppleganger has:

>Developed a physical shell which is based on the combined appearances of every woman the PC has ever been romantically involved with/had a crush on

>Sat in his room watching him sleep for hours on end

>Smeared a thin, cellular wide membrane of herself over his body unknowingly so she could ALWAYS be with him

>Has been held back from entering his blood stream and trying to fuse with him only by the geas and the potential this could harm him

>However she promises that some day she will "be inside of him"

>As created a persona and personality based purely on what she thinks he would like

>Has promised, as a sign of her love, to wait for his death by natural causes and then assume his form and identity so the rest of the world could know him how she knew him and know how wonderful he was, for ever and ever

>Keeps a yandere shrine of him filled with discarded personal effects, utensils, and hair clippings

>unhinged her jaw and shrieked like a wyvern at a potential romantic rival

>Because of her inherent nature as a trickster spirit, continually does strange things to attempt to unnerve and confuse him, such as leaving bloody cloths at the foot of his bed, creating little dolls of people and sticking pins in them, making mysterious and frightening allusions to things she wasn't/shouldn't have been present for then refusing to explain how she knows about them

I keep trying to think of more and more fucked up shit to do without actually hurting anyone, or without making the guy feel like i'm victimizing him OOCly (he's a bit sensitive). However, he is stubbornly unaffected by all of this shit, and is just glad to have a waifu. It's as sweet as it is infuriating.

Thats... nice. You are nice, user.

It's because I play with friends, and i'm willing to absorb a bit of autism so everyone can have fun

OP clearly is not talking about familial love.

Wow, it sure is convenient to label everyone who isn't just like you as being mentally ill. I think I'll start doing that. I like monster girls and you don't. Clearly you're mentally ill.

I feel lucky none of my friends are like that, but even so once in a blue moon one falls in love with someone or something they shouldnt. Normally gives interesting fuel to the campaign.

It's generally a very bad thing to be the focus of such an entities attentions, whether good or bad. However, some are (slightly) less cruel than others, and they may show their affections by granting a boon of some kind.

Depends on the setting.
It's a Cop-Out answer but it really is the best way to think about it.

I recently came across a table of 1,000 NPC personality traits, and thought it'd be fun to roll a couple times on it to see what kind of character I could whip up. After three rolls, I got, in the following order: bold, intrepid, and lascivious. I believe it's time to play a bard with a weaker-than-average sense of self-preservation. Weaker-than-average for a bard, that is.

No reason to doubt their love It's the same as anyone else's.

Shit, I didn't read OP well enough.
Well I ain't a DM (Yet) but my guess is that it would involve the target of their affections getting spirited away to their home plane.

Ah, crud. Forgot to mention the kicker: our forever DM is planning on doing a high level game where the party is a guild of supernatural investigators based out of Sigil. Lots of opportunities for poor bardic decisions there.

>That pic
What's the downside of this monster supposed to be? In the worst case, you have a double-waifu!

becoming a demon that doe snothing but rut all the time, same as all of them

>stay hydrated

kek

I fail to see a change in what i am already...

No it's not. It evolved with the animal brain.

It's from Monster Girl Encyclopedia, there are almost no downsides in that except for one monster that transforms you into a giant tentacle spider sperm sac

And the fact that the pool of human males will deplete over time, leading to the extinction of both humans and monsters.
also transform her partner into the squid-like creature seen on her crotch, IIRC.

>And the fact that the pool of human males will deplete over time, leading to the extinction of both humans and monsters.
Well you won't care about that when you are with your monster waifu

Well, considering only the Doppelganger, it's only linked to those with (a sometimes supposed) a one-sided love. That still make a lot of people outside that category.

MGE, to my possibly faulty recollection, has it that the "Spirit Energy" generate via doing the nasty with your monster waifu get's bounced on to her, and bounced back stronger, creating what is essentially a Perpetual motion engine of fucking. If you have a monster waifu, you won't die of old age. (This may be wrong, feel free to insult me) And a solid 90% of the monsters are inherently destructive. The ones I can remember that need to fucking die and the Nacth-somethinig or other (The Spider sperm sac world ending thing) and anything remotely similar to Matangoes, which are essentially Waifu'ed Human Cordyceps fungus.which is just as fucking horrible as it sounds.
Also, am I correct in remembering that the Encyclopedia entries are written with a darker tone to skirt pass the Order? cause I remember that from somewhere, then again, anything involving MGE get's handcannon'ed the fuck out of.

It's a shame because she is cute

MGE can be summed up as, "Kenku can make some fucking fantastic character designs, but should really, really, REALLY either get a writer specializing in happy feel good."

The monsters birth only female monsters, and have a tendency to transform human females into monsters as well.
And since monstergirls tend to have a lot of sex, they have a lot of offsprings, so their pop increases greatly, furthermore reducing the "pure" human couplings and the amount of males available for the next generation.

Funnily, this was less prevalent in early entries, that focused a bit more on "this is a rpg monster, only it steals men to perpetuate the species" instead of "this creature's only goal is to aggressively hunt a man and fuck him for all eternity". I guess the author has grown comfortable with his fetishes over time.
Might be due to different translators, tho.

>Thus, Dopplegangers can only copy what they observe, and as a result they tend to be OBSESSED with humans, who are completely unique. This obsession can range from psychopathic hatred to yandere love.

Did you make the concept yourself? Because that's really neat, even if it's a tad too much wish fulfillment

Either... or?
Btw, that pic is an awesome double forbidden lore check.

I was enthusiast about this manga, with the first two chapters hinting at tensions between the monsters and the humans. But it quickly devolved into thestalest of harem romcom.
Now that centaur's worries has been dropped, I got no nonmoeshit modern fantasy to read.

>And the fact that the pool of human males will deplete over time, leading to the extinction of both humans and monsters.
In the long term I don't see that being the case. Females are the limiting factor in population growth and there's no reason why the men who stick with humans couldn't have multiple partners.

If she's purely replicating what she sees and has zero imagination, should she really do creepy shit like the membrane and puppet stuff? It seems to me that she has non intentional responses.

Most monsters are monogamous, and they transform their partners into corrupting beings, so sharing males between a human and a monster is out of the question.
Theorically you could have the entire human pop relying on a few male, but then superpowered sex starved waifus are gonna invade and kill everything that isn't mounted on a dick.

>Either...or?
I fail to parse what you mean, but feel retarded nonetheless.
>Forbidden Lore
That's nothing, I put this one into the filename threads.

>no moeshit modernfantasy
Almost compleatly unrelated to your sufferings, your comment made me want to swear to Illias and the Omnissiah that once I figure the fucking editor and what actual software I have to use to model shit I'm going to build something set in MGE in Divinity:Original Sin 2 purely because it would be funny to see how the developers respond.

anyone that doesn't love monster girls IS mentally ill

>should really, really, REALLY either get a writer specializing in happy feel good

should be
>should really, really, REALLY get a writer specializing in happy feel good
or
>should really, really, REALLY either get a writer specializing in happy feel good or [learn to make tea at the right temperature]

what is that one?

The remaining men just have to breed faster than the monsters.

Since dark energy or whatever is more infections than super space bug aids from another settings there is no chance of that

>qt shoggoth needs to concentrate to maintain humanoid form
>turns back into regular shoggoth when surprised or excited

>Implying i wouldn´t fuck it anyway
Slimes and tentacles were my first love

I am confuzzled.
And a bit outta the loop, explain the tea joke please....

If I see that fucking faggot cat one more time....

It's just that when you write either, you have to follow with "or + [2nd clause]" afterwards. The tea bit was just random since my grammar is a bit rusty and I didn't want to use proper lexicon.

Although after dealing with human women for so long, I can't blame some guys for being mentally ill or for not realizing how great MGs are. It might seem unfathomable that any kind of woman could love, protect, care for, and lust for men the way MGs do, because past experience has shown that many, many women display none of that behavior toward men in general.

How would be the man that dominates all the monsters from MGE?

He'd be nonexistent.

Step 1: Get a random MG
Step 2: Rape a unicorn with your newfound MG
Step 3: Go across the world building your harem since a "corrupted" unicorn becomes a cuckquean who uses magics to make other single MGs want to be part of your harem

Is this powergaming?

You confused It with The Thing.

But do you romantically love an imagined 2d-girl? That is what separates a normal person from a loon. I love monstergirls as well (the concept is fun fap-bait), but I don't *love* a monstergirl.

Meh. Sure you're being pampered and have sex non stop, but this isn't a very nurturing relationship.
