WHEEL SMASHING LORD 3-65 to 3-66
“Once, a long time ago, in my youth, I served as a caravan guard crossing the deserts of Qeen, a trip of around a half turn all in all, crossing through the kings road. I made the crossing about four or five times – the men in that caravan were hardened and bolstered by both youth and good, boisterous courage, fed by the frequent clashes with bandits, desert beasts, and other hazards that the crossing was known for.
One night we stayed in an errant ruin to shelter from a sandstorm. There was something about the place that set the hackles ablaze with ill feeling. Thorough examination of the area presented nothing, but into many of the stones of that place we found a curious marking – a single indentation, coiled and sinuous, as though something had been sealed in there, inside the stone itself, perhaps for millennia. Though we could not explain how, each man of that expedition, and there were fifty something of them, reacting almost instinctively with almost violent repulsion. Without any reason to think so, we somehow knew what had been encased in that stone was older than time itself.
We lost three men in the sandstorm trying to escape that place, but given no other quarter, we had no choice but to bivouac there. It was one of the most harrowing and uneventful nights of my career. The company parted soon after. We lost the stomach for the work.”
– Graves, belligerent knight
Gog-Agog strikes me as the kind of gal who keeps telling herself jokes, hoping to hear a new one.
Funny, isn’t it, how we left White Chain and Solomon staring at a big fish just like this one? Is it significant, or is it a Red Herring?
When ever has Abbadon left red herrings around for the observer to contemplate?
What would a worm know of fishermen?
Why would a Leviathan revue include a fish who at this moment stalking two of the key people in Allison’s new Demiurge group?
The self-references run deep here for sure. The Leviathan is the demon of “envy” according to Aquinas (the sin most often associated by fans with Gog), it’s related to the Apocalypse during which it will be slain; moreover the Leviathan is used by Hobbes as a reference to an all-encompassing form of governing society where every part plays its roles (think: Many Gogs acting as one Gog)… It is slain by a Mesopotamian God in ancient tradition – Salami Dave is inspired by Mesopotamian Heroes/Kings… people can add onto this, but just some interesting ideas for how things might pan out in this arc regarding Gog, the real big Fish, the metaphorical big Fish, and our main characters
Need a worm to bait the hook.
A flam and 30 stroke roll, fancy!
Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this party too – kind of Cirque de Solong Sukka!
Oh my…. At risk of being a tich untoward, this incarnation of Gog leaves one positively Agog….
I do like to hope that she would have it no other way…. -=)
There’s something so profoundly sad about putting out such a grand display, such an effort of power and creativity, only to perform it to yourself and only yourself.
It just occurred to me that Gog’s M.O. is the opposite of the Holy Action: she multiplies. In the end she’s the only thing left. She’s a fine liar and dedicated to kayfabe. She surrounds herself in herself.
Gog Agog is the closest thing to YISUN in their original form as one can get.
Yep, she is Agog, filled with Gog, wrapped in Agog and dipped in powdered sugar!
Gog Agog appears to be a big fan of 17th/18th century British hairstyles and wigs.

(Whoops, meant to reply to the comment above this one.)
European.
“Once again, we’re in my era.”
It seems like Jagganoth may not be the only one who remembers the resets.
now it’s Marilyn Monrog Agog
im killing you. im killing you. I don’t care about anything else, I don’t give a shit about anything else, I-
the style the flair the pizzazz the chutzpah she really is unparalleled. i would gladly consume your worms gog agog, supplication included
do not the worm clown
do yes the worm clown
“Anything is possible with J̶e̶s̶u̶s̶ Gog on your team!”
As the ancient coronation chant goes…
“Slay, Queen, slay.”
AGAG CITY
The script above her name, rather than being Universal Metaconstant as with the other demiurges, seems to just say ‘worm’ in English.
Didn’t mean to post that as a reply, sorry.
even the fourth wall is made of worms! even these comments!
TWIN PEAKS, NOW WITH WORM
Gog Agog did her homework; scene floor and curtain colour must be an intentional reference to Twin Peaks.
She’s full of secrets!
Of all things in creation and beyond, that is what icks the Great Worm out? Everybody has that special something I guess.
There can be only one relevant question here:
Are you bored with this time loop, Gog Agog?
The real question is:
Can you fuck or with a body composed just from worms inside?
Also Gog playing up MM is godly.
Also no Allison also lost a leg, an arm and a gf, not just an eye thanks to your retarded betrayal there Gog!
“retarded”
kill yourself lol
Ironic
What’s MM, if I may ask?
Marilyn Monroe
Is she playing Marilyn or Madonna?
“Yeah, well, I saw you explode into hamburger. What’s your point, bitch?”
One can only imagine what Gog’s true form looks like. A sandworm from Dune or a sarlacc perhaps.
Does she even have a true form? She’s not a singular entity, she’s a gigantic pile of worms. It feels like asking what the true form of an ocean is.
(Probably the closest you can get is the giant globe of faces she uses to attack Jagganoth – that’s “what you’d get if you put all of Gog’s worms together into a single object.”)
Or maybe.
Just a pile of worms. Not really special.
However, one should notice, if a pile is big enough, it becomes special. And brother. Gogs pile is as large as it can get.
Making her, Agogs special little girl.
You know DnD’s worm that walks? That is literally the source material for Gog Agog.
Beautiful.
It’s just like Alice said when they were planning. Gog Agog IS Gog Agog.
I never forget a face, but in your case I wish I could make an exception.
